Chapter 7 - Cloaker

The carriers opened their gates, revealing an abundance of soldiers who immediately rushed to the sizeable futuristic building. Quinn opens fire at the stationary enemies awaiting the soldiers to come at them.

Panic spreads like a pestilence around the enemy crowd, trying to locate where the bullet was shot.

Among the chaos, the vehicles and tanks opened fire at the soldiers rushing at them from the ocean. There were many loud explosions and gunfire that could be heard from afar.

Remram immediately starts to hack the tank while maintaining control while trying to hack into an orbital machine. The tank is wild and rampant, spinning all around and driving randomly. Injuring its comrades.

Suddenly, some first responding reinforcements drive up, some in armored vehicles with a machine gun attachment, others with just a tank. Some of the reinforcements stay behind enemy lines to help be a final wall and to protect the building. Others decide to run over some of the incoming soldiers.

Suddenly, many blaring exploding blasts scattered around enemy areas. The cause?

Eres floats above the deep ocean, with many high-caliber barrels circling vertically behind her like a halo. Making a finger gun pose, she shoots and one of the caliber barrels straightens horizontally and shoots at what she pointed at.

"Bang!~" Eres chuckled mischievously.

Quinn pauses for a moment to look at Eres with binoculars.

"What a chaotic power." He mumbles, aiming at the enemies again to snipe them.

In a few moments, the soldiers are halfway there to the building, with the enemies slowing down their push.

"I'm in!" Remram exclaimed, with a digital button bestowed under her fingertips.

Remram aims the machine before firing an orbital strike down near the cells that hold the slaves.

A huge airblast was emitted upon the blast of the orbital strike, disappearing shortly after.

A bit later, some slaves start to escape from the free passage Remram made.

The soldiers started the breach through the enemy's defenses as well, with many of them retrieving the slaves to shield and guiding them to nearby armored transport vehicles. The ride will go to a facility that welcomes their new lives, with government pardons and a check to start their life anew.

But it wasn't all that easy. An army of reinforcements caught up to help and put a stop to the breach.

With helicopters and mounted machinery, and more than just regular humans.

A stellar human of strings starts to tangle and slice the body parts of the soldiers. And another stellar human of haste, quickly taking out soldiers.

"Careful! These are mercenaries! Take them out quickly to lessen our trouble of retrieving the slaves and getting out of here!" Eres yelled through the earpiece.

Quinn and Remram nod in agreement. Quinn focuses his crosshairs on the stellar humans and Remram proceeds to do some type of code for both of them.

Quinn focuses and shoots the string human. Alarming the haste human, tracking where the bullet came from, quickly traveling to Quinn and Remram's stationed location.

Quinn notices this quickly, but as well notices that his speed has diminished greatly, but is still faster than a regular human. Remram inputted a "Virus" into the haste person, worsening his stellar powers.

Quinn then fires a shot at the speedster with precise accuracy. Hitting him between the eyes with his revolver.

"Eres here, I am nearing the building. We have got all the slaves in numbers and are ready to evacuate them. We also have defeated all the enemies defending here so ease up."

Quinn and Remram sigh in relief and relax upon hearing that announcement.

But before they could have a moment of rest, a blaring distorted sound audios through all three of their eairpiece.

"Hello, sorry nothing personal but I have a job to do as a mercenary." An unfamiliar male voice with static electric and distortion rings through their earpieces.

Suddenly, a menacing sound that can only be described as the infinite vacuum of space, resonated behind Remram.

A large black and glitched portal appears behind Remram without her notice and grabs her by the neck.

Quinn shoots the hand but richshots out, but the hand from the portal retreats back and the portal closes.

Remram gasps for air and choke marks form from the hand. Coughing as her eyebrows lowered, and heart rate pumping.

"S-Shit! It's THAT mercenary! Cloaker!" She coughed and explained strugglingly.

"Cloaker, who's that?" Quinn asked in desperation. Trying to find clues, looking around with jolting eyes to find a strange looking man.

"He's a top mercenary, with many kill counts under his name. We've encountered him a few times but it always ends in someone becoming severely wounded." Eres explained through the earpiece.

Eres looks around her surroundings as well to find a man wearing a black ski mask, military helmet, red night vision goggles on top of a black tactical mask that resembles an oni, black light armor, tactical vest that cover mainly his chest, black tactical knee and elbow pads, military boots, gloves, and a full body military suit.

Suddenly, that same eerie sound came from Eres's behind, but reacted accordingly by grabbing one of her artillery barrels to smack the portal.

"Hey, feisty woman like you won't ever find a man." The mysterious distorted voice said from above.

There, they all look up to see the very mercenary that stand in their way from completing the mission.
