Natalia looks at Alton and Zoilos. Expecting them to come up to her and speak to her. She however quickly discovered that they weren't going to talk to her at all. Natalia frowns her foot starts to tap in frustration. Why weren't they paying attention to her?

"Alton?" Natalia sweetly calls out his name. Alton doesn't even turn his head towards her.

"Zoilos?" She then calls out once she understood he will not answer her.

"Do not talk to us" Zoilos threatens, giving her a fierce glare. Natalia frowns why don't they want to talk to her.

"Zoilos Alton I'm sorry" Natalia tries to apologize.

"Pay attention to the fight" Alton coldly states as he gets ready for another attack. He finds the heroine very annoying. Who the hell has the time to talk normally in the midst of a battle?

"Alton I'm sorry" She cries out. She couldn't understand why they were still mad at her!

"Go back to your team" orders Laurence while pointing at the other group. Natalia grates her teeth in anger and stomps away.

............

"General Laurence is currently in planet 68 fighting. You should just go apologize and make out!" Victoria groans as she stares at the General Barn.

"He will never forgive me!" General Barn shouts in anger.

"Geez, how did General Laurence ever tolerate you. He must have the patience of a saint.....Or you know he liked you in bed" Victoria laughs as she runs away from Barns fury. Barn doesn't chase her out the door. He looks out and sighs.

"You'll never forgive me. I didn't mean to betray you" Barn whispers to himself. The upper management had told him that Laurence took another partner. He out of anger took off Laurence as his partner which caused him to lose his 6-star general position. As their contract stated whoever has the most points can stay at the 6-star general. As he and Laurence were the only pair who got joint 6-star general. He later found out Laurence only took the partner temporary since he was forced on an emergency S-rank mission. When Laurence came back and was notified. He left leaving him behind without letting him explain. However, he doesn't blame Laurence as he would do the same.

"ALERT EMERGENCY ANOTHER SS-RANK ALIEN APPEARED IN PLANET 68. SEND IN MORE MEDICS ONE GENERAL DOWN AND THREE STUDENTS. MAKE THAT SIX STUDENTS DOWN" Barn's heart breaks as he hears general down. He couldn't help but think of his Laurence in the ground bleeding. He quickly autopilots the spaceship towards plant 68. He tells his soldiers to get ready for battle.

........

"What is going on why did another appear?" Questions Alton.

[It happened last time as well Zero. But the protagonist, FL, and you weren't in this battle. General Laurence died protecting everyone by starting a massive explosion. He made everyone leave and he ignited it.]

"I see" Alton grips his hand in sadness. He'll make sure he doesn't die today.

"Alton Zoilos come here" General Laurence calls them. The two head to him while the other group is distracting the alien.

"Do you think we can beat it?" General Laurence asks while looking at the alien.

"No" Zoilos states the truth everyone is already exhausted and are very weak.

[Zero reinforcements will arrive in 5 minutes]

"Reinforcement should be arriving soon all we have to do is stall!" Alton states while looking at the two with a determined look.

"Alright, we'll try to stall as much as we can!" Laurence states determined as he entered to fight the Alien. Zoilos and Alton look at each then nod.

"Attract it towards there we might be able to break those stones to intrap it for a little while" Alton points out. Zoilos looks at the area Alton is talking about.

"It might work!" Zoilos answers as he gets ready.

"General Laurence, order them to attract the alien towards this area" shouts Zoilos. General Laurence quickly orders them to do it without question. The people from the Academy were confused about the whole thing. They did what they were ordered except Natalia.

"Why should we do that?" Natalia asks angrily why did the general listen to Zoilos and Alton. Why didn't he listen to her suggestion?

"Shut it you're still an academy student do not question your superior!" General Laurence retorts. He is thankful he didn't accept her as one of his soldiers. As once Zoilos and Alton join she requested to join as well. However, he didn't as Zoilos and Alton did not want her. Natalia clenches her jaw in anger but does as she is told. Soon they cornered the alien to the corner. Zoilos and Alton quickly broke the huge stones from above and entrap the alien. Everyone got away from it and started to get medics to tend to the wounded. Alton secretly took a healing pill. Alton dissolves two other pills in water and hands them to Laurence and Zoilos. Ones that will clear exhaustion and bring up stamina. However, won't heal their wounds as he didn't want to look suspicious.

"Ah, water hits the spot!" Laurence laughs feeling much better. They all could hear the alien trying to burst through. He was close to it too, however, the reinforcements have arrived. General Laurence to see who had arrived. Two groups had arrived they were from elites. That's when he saw General Barn. He froze and his fist clench in anger.

"Alton, Zoilos we were leaving we have beaten the first one with very little help. We are exhausted and have major injuries. Let the new group handle the alien" announce Laurence while giving a glance to Barn's direction.

"Isn't that guy the crazy general?" Asks Alton confused as he looks at General Barn.

[Yes, he only went crazy after General Laurence died. Barn loves Laurence and when his love died he went into madness]
