The sound of continuous slashing and stabbing echoed in the air. A black Samurai was standing in the middle bravely. Almost an infinite-looking horde of monsters surrounded the samurai but the samurai didn't show any weakness. Instead, the samurai boldly faced the danger. The samurai used a naginata to destroy all the enemies in front of her.
"That must be the reinforcements. Finally, someone came to rescue us" Iqbal fell on one of his knees due to exhaustion.
"Hmm.... quickly take cover" Dohyun commanded.
All three of them ran as fast as they could far away from the battlefield to take cover. Soon after they take shelter in a house around half a kilometre away from the battlefield. It took them only 5 minutes to block every possible entrance they could think of at that time.
Dohyun showed Iqbal and Donghyun some army-style hand signs indicating that they have to guard the lower floor and Dohyun will be upstairs.
Iqbal and Donghyun nodded and took the position. Dohyun went upstairs and took out a smartphone from his bag. He put the bag down and started counting the samples he have collected so far.
"4 proper samples, 2 damaged samples and 1 perfect sample that's all we were able to manage. Good enough I guess. I hope we have enough to research and find out some kind of cure for this disease. Nemesis, what a
chicken-hearted plan. But still, it's a dangerous tactic because we are the ones in a tough spot here" Dohyun murmured to himself and started typing something he pulled out the volume button on the phone and the back of the phone started glowing with a cherry red circle on its back. An antenna also came out of the hole which was supposed to be an earphone jack.
"Hello Team A to alpha, Team A to alpha. If you could hear me open a portal near my location. I repeat If you could hear me open a portal near my location." Dohyun was trying to send a message to his allies.
Suddenly a loud battle cry emerged from far away where that samurai suppose to be.

"The story goes way back in time on planet Terramos" An old lady in a saree sitting on a table right beside Emily replied and trend her chair around.
"4 years ago Smaugs attacked planet Terramos to obtain resources & pretty much everything which could meet their interest. A few months later they were somehow we're able to capture almost 1/4th of the world without even engaging in wars. Soon enough some rumours started to spread from person to person of the nearby kingdoms. Rumours were that some demons have arrived from the sky. Those demons have a special power that every man who comes in contact with becomes their slave forever. After that, almost half of the world came together excluding elves and dark elves and demi-humans. The total no. of soldiers was roughly 700 million at that time. Most of them were women who lost their Husbands, brothers, friends and sons because of those smaugs. After struggling for 2 and a half years in war we were finally able to defeat those smaugs and ruled them out of our planet. But during those past years, we found out some very crucial information." The old lady looked me in the eye and took a deep breath and sated talking again.
"We were able to find out that they were not demons but a species of aliens. The concept of aliens was not new to us. We have even developed space portals to travel from one planet to another due to trade purposes. Elves were one of the examples of those species who were actually aliens but after thousands of years, they were now a common species to us. Coming back to the topic, after engaging for around a year we found out about a secret plan Smaug. That plan was project Nemesis. According to our intel nemesis was a complete war-based plan. The first phase of their plan was to fight humans with humans. They started using those men as their main army against us. The psychological effect was drastic for us. But the drawback was that this plan required a huge number of their slaves just to counter our force which damaged their financial position in the universal market." The old woman started sipping tea which was in her hand the entire time. The entire room felt silent only her noise of sipping tea was echoing in the room.
"You said this was just the first phase. Then what was next." Rudra asked and broke the silence. He was sitting on a chair just beside the old lady.
<< Cardiff, Wales >>
A black samurai was cutting monsters like butter. Suddenly a battle cry emerged. It was a huge monster around 20 meters tall. It put its hand on one of the nearby buildings. It slowly moved its head to its right and glanced at the samurai. It opened its mouth and saliva started falling from it's mouth. It didn't have eyes and yet it looked like it was starting straight at the samurai.
"This is bad. Really, really bad." She murmured to herself.
All the other monsters moved aside like they were clearing the path for their leader. All of them jumped on the rooftops of the buildings. The huge monster suddenly charged toward the samurai with full force.
"Focus Akari Focus. you can do it just be patient and wait for an opening " The samurai thought to herself.
Suddenly the left wrist of the monster was missing. It went straight flying towards a rooftop on the back of the huge monster. The small monsters were in shock as soon as the hand fell near their feet.
"Gotcha!!" The samurai smiled despite her mouth being covered her joy was visible somehow.
Suddenly all the small monsters started shouting and jumped from the rooftops and charged toward the samurai. That was truly a terrifying moment for anyone who witnessed it. But, despite that, she didn't look terrified in the slightest. She took a deep breath and said.
"Bring it on!! [Black Magic: Dimension Slice]" She started cutting every single monster from every direction. The blade of her naginata was now covered in black flames because of her black magic.
<< Base >>
"You said this was just the first phase. Then what was next." Rudra asked and broke the silence. He was sitting on a chair just beside the old lady.
"The phase two of this plan was..." she got interrupted.
"Colonel Saanvi, I need permission to open a ground portal for Dohyuns squad" The African American man came barging in with panic.
"What happened Jason?" Old lady or should I say Colonel Saanvi rose from her seat.
"Ma'am we received an emergency transmission from Dohyun. Maybe you should hear it" He strikes the floor with his fancy walking stick. The ball on the stick started glowing. He stepped away from his stick and the stick was still upright straight.
"Hello Team A to alpha, Team A to alpha. If you could hear me open a portal near my location. I repeat, If you could hear me open a portal near my location. We are surrounded by enemies and don't know how long we could hold out in this situation" Suddenly a battle cry could be heard in the background and the stick stopped glowing.
"Permission given. Open the portal right now. Rakesh & Liam prepare for battle. It's just a rescue mission so Rakesh I want your assistance the most. You were planning to become a doctor right so this is your chance to save some lives" Colonel Saanvi ordered.
"Yeah, but what we are up against and as Rudra said what is their second phase of Nemesis ?" I asked in a panic.
"Why don't you see for yourself? Liam your job is to insure the safety of Dohyun and his squad. Meanwhile Rakesh your job is to insure that Akari is safe." Colonel Saanvi walked toward me and ordered.
I turned around and saw a portal opened for me by none other than Liam.
"Forget about the ground portal. It might take a while to make that thing work. Use my magic instead." Liam said that with a serious look on his face.
"Suppose we can't argue with that at this point. It will just be a waste of time." Jason replied and everyone agreed in silence.
I mustered up some courage inside me and walked toward the portal created by Liam.
"I can do it. I just have to insure someone's safety that's all. If he or she might be injured I can literally create bandages and medicine out of thin air. It won't be a problem. Besides Liam is with me if I somehow screwed up he could take care right..... right....." I thought to myself.
"Hay kid! Don't disappoint me as your teacher I forbid you to put any kind of shame on my name. Understand!!!" Emily shouted.
"YES, MA'AM!!" I replied with the same level of energy and went through the portal.

We both exited the portal simultaneously and saw a lot of blood and a lot of corpses which were not of any human as for as it looked. The blood was also odourless. We looked around for a little while.
"Sh!t, Behind us!!!!" Liam Screamed at the top of his lungs.
There was a huge monster just behind. Monster lifts its arm in the air. Its claws were quite terrifying. My body literally froze at that point. Its claws were about to hit me but suddenly a black beam of light suddenly appeared for a split second and...
