"ATTENTION GAMMA SQUADRON, THE ENEMY IS IN POSITION, FALL OUT IMMEDIATELY! "
The roar of machinery and shouting in the launch hanger as the gamma squad began to fly out into space was deafening. Each pilot checked in as they prepared to depart in formation.
"Gamma 16 ready." "Roger. Beginning hull breaker formation 6"
All 16 high end spaceships launched simultaneously forming a spiral in the golden ratio headed towards a huge spaceship.
"Charge the energy lance." "Roger."
Each ship began to release a huge amount of energy that began to trace the spiral formation in space as it stretched out into a cone of powerful force with a glowing blue point.
"Advance."
As the ships advanced however an alarm popped up in the leading ship.
"WARNING WARNING SUPER GENE DETECTED"
The pilot's mind swam "Why the hell is there a super here, the Alpha and Beta squads were supposed to take care of them"
His confusion lasted for only an instant before his training kicked in.
"FULL RETREAT MEN! WE'VE MISSED A SUPER"
The ships however could not safely retreat until the lance fully dispersed. As the energy slowly started to fade a human figure came into visual range of the lead pilot.
"Shit. shit. SHIT!"
The man floated straight through the energy lance, and held out his hand releasing a wave of green light that enveloped the entire formation. At first the pilot felt fine however as the light persisted he began to itch, and then he began to feel excruciating pain as large tumors began to form all over his body including his throat and lungs.
"A healing type ability!? Is this the end?"
As the pilot started to suffocate he remembered his gene testing.
"Recruit Steelguard please step up" said a woman wearing a general uniform.
A 16 year old boy stepped up to the general and placed his hands on the tablet that the general was holding.
"Don't resist the scan. allow the energy to flow through you" she said
The boy focused hard on the tingling sensation in his hands pulling it through his body. While doing so he hoped for something to change.
"Please, please, I need to have a super gene" he thought.
"Two genes, both latent" the general said coldly.
The boy was crestfallen he knew that he didn't have the money to awaken even one gene, and, even if he did few survive the activation of latent genes due to their unpredictable nature. Back in the present the pilot decided to try something.
"Don't resist. Don't resist!" He began telling himself.
As he began pulling the energy through his body, the pain became much worse as this energy was not attuned to his body.
"AAAHHAGHH" he screamed.
His vision started to fade when he felt a "click" inside himself, and then another.
[ Congratulations Rook Steelguard, you have awakened your royal birthright system ]
[ Congratulations you have awakened the innate ability TEMPORAL GENESIS ]
[ life threatening situation detected. Use TEMPORAL GENESIS? ]
"Y…y...yes" he said out loud with his last breath
[ Activating TEMPORAL GENESIS ]
Everything went black.
