Just when Milo was about to lose all hope a single crackle came through the radio and he heard a familiar voice which made him doubt if he was hallucinating because he was so close to death.
" Kid, stay hidden and come out. I will take care them. You might not be my pupil but through contract I am oblige to protect you because....I feel like letting lose after eons!" Nova roared at top of his lungs before his whole body started to glimmer with bizzare colour.
The dark forest was illuminated even blinding the enemies who couldn't see the new invader.

Meanwhile on earth in a secret facility, situated in unknown location, few scientists were working on creating new weapons. The leaders were a pair of twins that were considered the first genius to surpass both Newton and Einstein.
The shadowy government had requested their service for their cause not through force but these two madmen liked to push scientific boundaries just to satisfy their curiousity.
Even the top echelons were aware of their existence as every piece of money would be procured through black operations making it practically untraceable.
These two didn't care about the money but only wanted to see how much death and destruction that they could bring by reproducing sick ideas that came to their mind.
The underground facility was littered with different kind of weapons both offensive and defensive. Some even used energies that weren't even discovered yet which was why they were said to be ahead of their time and the specific reason why the organisation wanted to keep things secret.
As something that could disrupt the whole market making their 'friends' lose billions would not go well with the forces that were in the know.
Anyways, the details weren't important what's troubling everyone at the base was the missing weapons like the most advanced shield prototype that they developed few years back.
It went missing couple of weeks ago which spooked everyone as they thought their operations were exposed but after checking their high tech security system, there was no anomalies detected that could explain the strange phenomenon that they witnessed through the security feed.
One moment, it was there the next it vanished in thin air. The whole network was local which meant there were no nodes that could compramise their location not to mention, they had different contingencies to detect any tampering.
Coupled with that they had the collection best system viruses that hadn't even seen the light of the day all stashed to do their bidding in the future.
After checking their inventories, they were horrified to see few older generation weapons were also missing. Although not as secure, someone did manage to get to it and steal with with the same 'technique'.
The twins debated the concept of teleportation or phasing, but even they were able to do it solely because the earth wasn't advance enough to provide them those tools.
Now they saw a 'rival' company blatantly showing their tech just to mess with them was just the insult to their wounds. The whole base was in lockdown with many important inventions always having people staring at them not to mention there were a sea of undetectable lasers around just in case it was someone invisible as the scenario seemed more plausible.
After one week of alertness nothing happened but just when they thought, they manage to thwart their enemies plan the most secure room started blaring alarms which woke up the whole base from patrol to the twins who ran the base alongside their security detail.
They already had the feed ready while the soldiers were deployed to neutralize anything that moved inside the chamber.
The twins did not care about their inventions, they wanted to catch the theif whow as trying to mess with them probably trying to reverse engineer their technology which could lead to a disaster if they went public with it.
The whole room was lit brightly with zero blind spots and around hundred men dressed in all black gear that hummed with blue light seemingly powered by the unknown energy.
Even if they were invaded by fifty thousand people, these hundred would be enough to mow them down in minutes so catching this thief with such a elite unit was excessive but everyone wanted answers.
With their weird weapons draw they wanted for any signs even operating their all spectrum cameras to look for invisible enemies.
From twins to the commander of the base all thought this was a dine deal as no one escape such a heavy encirclement. Other times they might be complacent but this time there was nothing missing yet and the alarm went off meaning someone or something did enter the facility.
But before they could breath a sigh of relief the new propulsion prototype that could wrap around a human to make them able to fly vanished, right next moment, the experimental gun that they were testing recently also disappeared in thin air.
It didn't stop there, the weapons kept on disappearing like someone was picking them up like they were shopping in a Walmart!
The people on the ground were dumbstruck not knowing what to do. They couldn't even detect the enemy but it still manage to take the equipment away which could only mean that it was some sort of teleportation device or else the advance lasers would have cut through the enemy along with the equipments!
" What the fuck are you doing? Start firing! I don't care about the damage I want the person dead, I want his whole family dead!" One of the twin roared through the radio.
" Destroy the rest of the weapons, we can't let them take it. It's much more beneficial for us to reproduce them in another place than to have them reverse engineer out things!" The second of the twin was much more composed but he echoed the sentiment.
The commander wanted to say something but after thinking about it, it was best not to butt head with these two maniac. His job was already hard enough, he didn't want to deal with more shit!
The group started open firing, the blue projectiles would touch their target making them either melt or explode. The shards would keep flying their way but their suit was durable enough to withstand such meager amount of pressure.
Some of them could even take a single tank round and still be functional so there was no hesitation from their part. They stopped firing when the laser array started to go haywire. If they stress it enough, it might change direction and attack them, such high intensity would melt through them without an issue.
After the dust settled, they turned off the security system to look for anything that could provide them with clues but sadly all they saw was their own destroyed weapon, rest were zapped out by the enemy!
