"You?"
A man in a uniform asked Vader as he thrust past him. He was bloodied and injured to the point that one cannot recognize him but, the scar that was on the man's face made it clear that it was the same man Vader attacked inside the academy's campus.
Vader didn't utter a word to him and as his face was covered by the helmet he wouldn't be able to recognize him that well.
'There are police around here. Scavengers are here... Is this necessary for me? Should I really take action?'
Though those kept on ringing inside his head. A strange emotion pushed him towards the little girl who was stuck under the concrete roofs. It seemed unusual to him. He is not someone who goes out of his comfort zone to help someone.
Perhaps it was his innate nature? Or the power and the memories he inherited? He couldn't really understand.
But he was hooked on helping the girl.
"AWooo!"
The monster howled and dashed towards him and the police officer.
The Police officer stretched his hand and the monster which was literally two feet away from them stopped.
'He is Psychic Stellar wielder?'
He thought wearing a dazed expression on his face.
"Unsheath your sword you tin can!"
The policeman said coughing blood.
But his words didn't reach his mind. Vader was frozen in his place gazing at the face of the monster.
The Monster growled opening its mouth. The split into eight like a lotus the insides of its mouth were wriggling like worms. It was unsightly enough to make people puke who sees it.
"It's a mother species! You have to kill it now!"
The police yelled.
A Mother species is like a virus that continuously breeds on. Those are what infests the lands that were yet to be fully pioneered.
Vader noticed the police officer. Blood flowed out of his nostrils and eye sockets. It seemed like he was holding on to his life. The same goes for the others as well. Their attacks didn't inflict much damage.
Eyes of discernment suddenly showed him the golden color as his eyes were stuck to the sides of the monster. It was once again trying to create a sonic boom.
Vader unsheathed his sword that was in his back and toggled his propulsion system and removed the battery packs. With the last thresh hold of energy he got inside Sonic hull's mouth.
He immediately stabbed his sword into the upper roof of its mouth and tore its internals with a pull and dropped the batteries. He tightened the clutch as the monster began to shake its body and for some reason, the sonic boom slowly subsided into nothingness.
His thrust was nothing but a mere fluke. In fact, he made a blunder when jumping which created an opening. Without wasting further time he tried his body's survival instinct made him stab the monster. His brain was quicker than his very perception. He clearly didn't have the idea to pull out the battery but he did.
The feeling of his arm sliding to the soft flesh intimated his first kill to him. It might be a monster but it was the first time he took life by his hands. Yet, there were still some signs that the monster was alive. His battery was made with highly reactive elements.
The internals of the monster sprayed blood. Unlike the outer layer that excretes acid, its internal blood fluid was similar to human's but the color was blue.
The monster slowly kneeled with its head raised up pointing at the sky. Vader who was hanging on to his life noticed a huge red sonic ball forming inside its throat as he laid his eyes inside the abyss of darkness.
He tried to shove his sword deeper but still, his sword couldn't pierce it. Before he could react the ball struck him and that's when he flickered the battery with fire. Momentarily he was sent him flying due to a huge explosion mixed with the sonic waves. His armor shattered and flew in every direction possible like shrapnels.
As he flew out of its mouth he saw everyone looking up at him in shock as the monster fell down. They were in awe and amazed that he managed to take the monster down. The world seemed slow as he flew.
'Maybe I'll die?'
He thought as he flew several paces away from the place. The sonic boom was weak but it seemed to have broken his bones and ribs. He just injected himself with the red serum a few days ago and now this had occured.
Quickly his body slammed onto a wall making him lose consciousness. Quickly the folks of the street and police rushed to his aid.

"Ahhh!"
Screaming at top of his lungs opening his heavy eyelids.
The clerics around him grabbed his body and pinned him on the bed once again.
"Calm down! Slowly breath in!"
A woman in white said looking at his eyes.
"Hah!"
Vader sighed and said, "Was the monster dead?"
"Relax Mr..."
She stopped and peered at his cloth and said "Mr.Vader Herko"
"Okay... But, where am I?"
"In the healing center of Berun. To be precise, the northern division of Terra."
"I see... Who admitted me?"
"A Police officer, I don't know his name."
"Oh okay."
"Please rest here. They'll visit you soon."
Including his face, every nook of his body was covered in bandages. He seemed quite alright and his breathing felt steady as well.
'I am alive... I guess my story has a thick plot armor... I have to improve my overall strength and durability... That suit sure came in handy. I'd have died for sure if I was directly hit.'
He thought with a smile and the image of Popey suddenly flashed inside his mind.
'He'd be alive right?'
He muttered and glanced at the entrance through which appeared a man with a scarred face.
"Who would have thought that a Criminal would become a hero?"
The man said with a smile removing his cap.
"That thing died when you attacked but..."
He stopped as Vader looked at him eagerly to know what happened thereafter.

Author's note: Sorry that the chap is short. I promise I'll make it 1.5K. I am doing a night shift job as of now. So I am pretty much tired to write. Anyway, I do want to go to the main plotline but things have yet to be fully prepared. Hope you'll understand.
