The ground that the people were standing on inside the cave began to crumble and collapsed.
All of a sudden, they fell on a deep, dark hole.
They were falling endlessly. They knew they will die if they got to the bottom. They were falling in such height after all.
Splash!
Everyone fell in a body of water at the bottom of the cave.
"Water! Thank God!" Everyone was so happy as the water saved them dying. Everyone knew how to swim.
The Flashlights on their helmets shone but it couldn't light much space in the cave. Sergeant Bark began to sense something. His face turned grim.
The water... The water is dragging everyone away into different directions!
Everyone witnessed the scene. All 100 Miners along with Sergeant Bark, divided into 10 groups as 10 different strong currents were pulling them away from each other each group.
Jake couldn't see a thing, as the flashlight on his helmet broke after the fall earlier. He could feel that there is a current pulling him away from the crowd.
"Oh my god... Oh my god..." Jake knew panicking would do no good but he just heard something.
It was a sound of a gushing sound or a sound of a falling water. Like a waterfall!
Before he could swim away, the current dragged him and made him fall on the waterfall.
"Ahhh!"
***
Jake opened his eyes. He could still hear the sound of the rushing and falling water at the Waterfall he fell at.
He was washed ashore and fortunately, he was alright.
He looked around and he saw a light. But it was not a light from the sun, it was a light from an orb!
It was floating on the mid-air at the altar-like platform.
Jake rubbed his eyes and looked closely as he went forward.
As he was about to make his 6th step, a shadow swiftly attacked him all of a sudden. He evaded at the last second, fortunately.
The Monster's eyes were red. It has a human body appearance. It wore a mechanical mask. Its skin was red but transparent like glass. Blood vessels could be seen inside. It was wearing a suit of armor from the ancient times.
It was also holding a pair of blades on its hands. The blades were white and its shape were like blazing fire, it was wavy and sharp. Weird light and symbols keep appearing on the surface of the weapons.
Jake saw the monster and recognized it. It wasn't really a monster. It was a race. It was a race who enslave humanity for many years. It was a Magitrom!
Jake stepped back. The Magitrom suddenly moved and threw an attack at Jake.
Jake clumsily dodged but didn't completely evade the attack. A light wound appeared on his shoulder.
Beside Jake was a red orb that's half of it stuck underground. He touched it and the red orb floated in the air.
In the past, Jake discovered something about himself. He could control Magic Orbs by just touching it!
Usually, To use a magic Orb, a human must be also chosen by the magic orb. Humans couldn't use or control magic orb in just a whim. It needs the approval and bond with the magic orb. To do this, one must drop his/her blood on a magic orb. If the Magic Orb floats, that means it has chosen and gave its approval to be used by you.
But Jake was different, only by touching magic Orbs, he could use the skills and magic.
No one knew this other than Sergeant Bark. Sergeant Bark was the one who trained and taught Jake to use his ability. That is why Sergeant Bark couldn't give his Green Team up and have them killed.
Each Magic Orbs has its own skills intact along with its elements. Some Magic Orb users, have one skill according to the orb gives.
But some have multiple skills. It is because they had merged their Orbs with another Orbs with the same elements.
It is possible but one must have strong physical fitness to do this, otherwise, the magic and skills would overpower the body and it may lead to the users death.
The skill on the red magic Orb he touched was called, Swirling Fire. The Magic Orb was Grade F but it was strong.
Fire started to came alive on Jake's palm. It started to swirl like tornado and it wretched towards the Magitrom.
The Magitroms moved its hand and quickly slashed the skill with its Blades. The Swirling Fire disappeared immediately.
Jake was shocked to see this. He knew what happened. He saw this before. The Blades on the Magitroms hands were Magic-nullifying weapons!
Jake gritted its teeth. He once saw a nullifying weapon before. They were very rare and powerful. On a book he bought with his points before, Magic-nullifying weapons were used by Magitroms before.
Many Magic Orbs users died on those Magic-nullifying weapons. Those weapons are really powerful and tough. But now, some of the nullifying weapons were confiscated by the government and only use them on emergency such as monster attacks.
The other magic-nullifying weapons were still sold but they are at a low grade and were sold on black markets.
The Magitroms looked at Jake and its red eyes gleamed.
The Red Magic Orb on Jake's hand turned into dust.
Psychic Magic!
Now the situation became more dangerous. Aside from having Magic-nullifying blades, the Magitroms also uses magic!
The Magitroms chest were glowing with purple light. A purple, glowing orb could be seen inside.
Jake's body rose in the air like his body was grabbed by a large hand, squeezing him out.
"Ahhh!"
Jake screamed in pain as his bones cracked and pulverized.
And then, a swift shadow punched the Magitroms in the face.
Boom!
The Magitroms crashed on the walls. Jake fell and was caught by a hunk man. It was Sergeant Bark.
"Kid, wake up!" Bark yelled worriedly while tapping Jake's face. He checked his pulse and found out that Jake was still alive, he just passed out.
Sergeant Bark frowned and look very angry. He looked at the Magitrom in front of him.
"I'll kill you and rip you into pieces!" He barked angrily.
Sergeant Bark summoned his orb and released his skill called Sonic Boom!
Round Sound Waves appeared crushing the Magitroms inside the wall it was crashed into.
The Magitrom wore a painful expression and tried to fight the force of the sonic. It slashed the sound wave and the sonic skill disappeared.
Bark recognized the weapon and smiled.
"What a good grade Magic-nullifying weapon you got there. I'm going to take it from you as a fee for hurting my miner."
Bark used another skill. Thunder Step.
His feet produced a thunderous sound that echoed around the cave, he flew fast and went towards the Magitrom.
The Magitrom's chest glowed once again and Bark's body abruptly stopped on the mid-air. He felt that his body was being crushed too.
Jake opened his eyes and saw his Sergeant fighting the Magitrom but even so, the Sergeant was still no match for the Magitrom.
Jake reached out his hands and touched a Golden Magic Orb. Lightning crackled on his hands.
While on the ground, he pointed his hands on the Magitrom and let the skill, Lightning Bullet out.
The Magitrom was hit on the head and lightning crackled paralyzing its cheeks.
The Magitrom released Bark and swiftly picked up Jake and threw him. Because of its wrath, it didn't planned well on where would he throw Jake and threw Jake near the White glowing Magic Orb above the Altar-like platform.
Jake's coughed up blood when his body hit the ground hard.
He looked above and saw the White Magic Orb. He turned his head to the incoming Magitrom.
"Get away..." The Magitrom mumbled and walked very fast.
Jake looked puzzled. He somehow understood the Magitrom's language.
"What's with this Magic Orb, why didn't he dashed through and kill me? Why is he walking slowly instead, as if scared of something?" Jake thought.
He once again looked at the magic orb above him and looked at the Magitrom. He reached his hand up to touch the Magic Orb but the Magitrom screamed loudly.
"Don't touch it! Don't touch it! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" The Magitrom went mad and finally rushed up.
Jake didn't hesitate and touched the Orb fast.
He then felt heat and cold sensations traveled to all over his body. He then felt that the pain on his body disappeared and he could move his body already.
He stood up wondering what is the Element of the Magic Orb
"Waaaah! I'll kill you!!!" The Magitrom held its Blades up and tried to stab Jake.
Jake raised his hands and white blast of light blasted the Magitrom's chest area. A large, bloody hole appeared on its chest. It stopped and lay on the ground, dead.
Jake's eyes were wide open. He couldn't fathom how powerful that blast is!
Unexpectedly, a rainbow diamond could be seen inside the Magic Orb.
Lighting, Fire, Water, Leaves, Gust of wind, White light, Darkness, Sound wave, Rocks, Sand, Lava, Purple Wave, Mud, and Ice came out encompassing Jake's body.
All the Elements started to fused inside Jake's body like mad. Jake felt pain and screamed so loud that the cave rumbled once again.

"Sir! Weird magical reading is coming inside the ground. Its so powerful! Its been 8 years since the most powerful magic reading appeared and now, another one appeared again and its the most powerful so far!" A man with a lab coat on while holding a Tablet with lines and stats were all red. The Tablet were showing words like 'Strong Magical Reading detected' and the screen began to turn red and beep.
A man in a trench coat with glasses nodded.
"Order every Rank A people to dig and get me that Grade Z magic Orb!"
