"Sir, they are hungry, if stay here and don't go out, we would all starve to death" a Sergeant said to the major general
"Oh… fine go out and become meal for the beast and Termids, all we have to do is to wait here before help arrives or till the Termids go… but you want to look for food then go" Major general said; as if he didn't even care about them. But he did care, but they couldn't know with the way he was acting
During their little argument they heard a thud outside the cave
"What is that?" Major general asked silently
No one knew so nobody replied. A thud sounded again and after that thuds after thud was sounding before they heard the sound of a building collapsing
"I think, the cave entrance has broken" Sergeant Prima gave her own little theory
*Pa* *pa*
They heard the sound of heavy footsteps
"Wait… isn't that a Termid?" One of the teachers said
Others nodded in agreement since they couldn't deny the fact that a human footstep couldn't be that heavy
Major general stood in front of the students and the teachers he was already bracing himself for a fight; others also followed the suit they were preparing themselves and those that needed to prepare their ability before using it.
Three Termids show up in front of them; there was two green and one yellow.
Wasting no time major general attacked the yellow Termid and left the two other Termid for the remaining Teachers and Sergeants to fight.
Using earth spikes; Major general tried to pierce the Termid but it failed because the spike broke into pieces
The yellow Termid threw a punch; at a very fast rate, when it was about to crush major's general head; he dodged just at the last minute, which made his hair scattered
Different people were fighting with the two green Termid; Sergeant Prima was taking the lead in fighting one of the green Termid
She hails from the Hinge family so she possesses the air ability.
Major general was also fighting the yellow Termid with tactic and everything he possesses; because a single mistake could be the end of his life
Finally they defeated the three Termids that intruded the cave.
"Hope no one died" Major general asked with care; even though he was panting
"Yes… no one died" Sergeant Prima replied
As they were sitting and lying on the ground in the cave they heard another thud
"What is that again" Major general asked with fear
The steps they heard now was more heavier; they were shaking with fear as they knew that it was a Termid
When the Termid show up this time it was six; a red Termid, two yellow Termid and two green Termid
"Darn" Major general said
If he is in his best form he couldn't defeat a red Termid talk less of when he has exhausted his energy and MC points.
"Capture them, we have another set of hostages" Bull said; he was the red Termid that was in the front.
