Out of anger, the Alpha Flamingo screeched, and amidst the explosion, a special Birds were drifting fast, evading it with ease.
After coming out of the ever-escalating flames they looked down at Elias Island before they dived down, flapping their very fast, increasing their velocity.
Halfway toward the Island, they shrunk their wings and twirls their fan-like tails, which rotated their body and also increased their speed.
[Drillar Birds]
[They are Birds characterized by chubby, spiral short beaks, very strong skulls and robust wings. When attacking, they attack in groups of ten, and they can reach the speed of Sound while diving]
As the Drillars dived, the faster they moved the faster they spin, yet the dive didn't cause any sound. Just like other Birds, they were in a hundred but before they reached the Island an order came... retreat!
The Alpha was angry but was afraid they would die in the scheme of the Bipedal Beast as it has high hopes for them to take down the Bunker the damned fragile Beast was turtling in. And… if he learned about them, it would be the Alpha loss. The
The Drillars quickly halted their attack and flew away.
However, the Alpha craved to leave Elias a parting gift!
From above, it made sure that there were no more traps as they had been blown up by the Boomers.
Fast and silent, the Alpha dived!
Elias' body trembled and he immediately pulled a liver that activated all the remaining defensive measures he had on the Island.
The moment the Force-field Dome was destroyed by the talon of the Alpha Flamingo, Metal Boxes shot from the Sand and exploded—nothing inside but specially crafted—Metal Dust!
And the Metal Dust enveloped the Alpha in time, and then more than ten glowing red spears shot toward the Alpha.
In its paranoid intelligence, the Alpha Flamingo flapped fast, breaking the sound barrier, in an instant!
500 meters away from Elias Island the running Flamingo caught fire and... explosions rang out.
Its body became riddled with sharp tiny metal shards and also a burning heat consumed it. Its wings were blown away and its eyes were cooked.
It plunged toward the murky sea below….before it fell into it a Bird of similar appearance appeared above it and used its talons to grab the harmed Alpha's fragile wing and gently flew up.
With the Alpha injured, all the other Birds flew away.
[Congratulations on surviving the First Wave]
"You gotta be kidding me!" Elias cursed.
He understood what was happening now. By injuring the Alpha he reached a milestone.
"How many waves are there?"
[5 waves]
[You can also Survive another 2 Months]
"Hmm, that wouldn't do"
Without seeing, Elias can't even know which of the Birds was Alpha and what its powers were, apart from its ability to control Birds.
Nevertheless, the fact it can move as fast as sound and can break his Dome with ease, it is safe to assume it has very powerful physical capability!
Elias didn't crawl out as the night was still young, but he can feel everything on the Island and the damage it had taken!
"I might have harmed it but it really brought me down this time… I hope that will deter it for days to come!"
Elias then thought what if there were other Alpha Birds like it. What if they were just waiting for this one to fail to attack, or they were working in conjunction?
There was that Bird that was bigger than the Island itself. It seemed to be here for something.
There was also that Dove that can get into the Dome with ease, it too wasn't aiming for him. Though Elias didn't know about it.
But how many other Birds were there for him?
He sighed and thought about how he was able to tackle the Alpha.
He had already made special Metal Dust and amidst them were tiny balls filled with Wure. The Metal balls were strong but not tough, they broke with ease when enough vibration was applied to them.
After the Alpha shattered the Dome, the trap related to all that together with red spears that were buried beneath the Sand shot forward
The red spears were decoys, the actual weapons were the Dust and the tiny balls!
As the Flamingo was enveloped by the Dust, it feared the spears more. And it flees fast, breaking the sound barrier in an instant and that creates a static vibration and the Metal Dust that sticks
to it sparked, igniting the balls within and the Wure they were soaked in.
Numerous mini-explosions engulfed the Bird, causing injury in the most vulnerable part of the body. All this because of the speed it gained.
If it had gently flapped away, nothing would happen.
Elias went around the Island, fixing what he can and creating what he can. When the Sun rose, he slept for two hours before he continued!
By sunset, he was in his Bunker. Thankfully nothing happened that night, which gave him time to prepare more!
On the third day, Elias' trembling hand informed him that he will not be safe today. At the onset of night, Elias waited for the usual probe of countless suicide Birds smashing at his Dome
Pop!
"What..!?"
Crack!
Crack!
Smashed!
In just a second, his Dome was popped off by a small Bird—it was the Drillar—as it spins its body, it vibrated in a way that makes things break as it smashes its beak.
Elias punched a Metal button and jars of Metal came out from the Sand and sprayed Wure everywhere. The Drillars were fast enough to escape the Island, and after the Dome was raised again, it just popped out the next moment.
The frustrating thing was it took only one Bird to do that!
The scorched Alpha stared at the Island, above it was its Mate that saved it.
With more commands, two Birds dived down slowly. One was the plump Bird, Screaming Bird, and the other was a Red Raven Bird. While hundreds of Red Raven Birds also dived faster.
Arrows kept shooting into the sky, but Elias didn't know none of the Drillars was harmed.
They flew in and out of the Island evading the arrows.
When they came back, only one would move on and destroy the Dome and a plethora of arrows were shot at it and it fell and died.
This time when that happened before the Dome was raised again the thousands of suicidal Red Raven crashed in.
They aimed everywhere. and due to their staggering number, they plastered every inch of the Island with their blood and then it seeped into every device crevice, and in the next five seconds, it thickened and became sticky, jamming whatever it was!
