Oz navigated through the large corridors of the shuttle with ease, cloaked by shadow and silent movements. Two techs were heard approaching closely down at the next intersection. The moment their shadows could be seen, Oz sprung out around the corner pulling out one of his swords and in two blinding fast movements he sliced through both Techs. Not waiting for their bodies to drop, Oz took off down the long corridor, retracting the blade and placing it back into his left shoulder holster. After rounding a few more corners Oz found himself outside of the main control room. His rage began piling up and he felt that his revenge was so close he could taste it, but just as he approached, the entire shuttle shook violently with harsh turbulence. Inside the control room Oz could hear the Commander.<br/><br/>â€œWhat the shit is going on? Someone talk to me here!â€ His booming voice was barely louder than the creaks and bangs the shuttle was making.<br/><br/>â€œSir, all power is gone! Everything just shut down all of a sudden!â€<br/><br/>â€œEMP?â€<br/><br/>â€œQuite possibly sir, the scanners are on back up so we might be able to see something out there.â€<br/><br/>â€œThere! Something green just came flashing out of the sky, right in the middle of those woods. Check those scanners!â€<br/><br/>â€œSir these readings are off the charts! They arenâ€™t electrical though.â€<br/><br/>â€œSo are you telling me this wasnâ€™t an EMP?â€<br/><br/>â€œNo Sir, it has magical energy, and a lot of it.â€<br/><br/>â€œSir weâ€™re losing altitude fast!â€<br/><br/>â€œAlright donâ€™t wet your panties yet you sissies. Pilot, land her as soft as possible. Everyone else, prepare for a hot dismount. I want that forest stormed and anything in it dead. Whatever it was just cost us a lot of money and time invested in this operation and Iâ€™m not going to my superiors without some heads! Now MOVE OUT!â€ the commanderâ€™s voice boomed again and the sounds of armor clanking on the metal floor approaching the doors echoed out into the hallway.<br/><br/>Oz backed away from the door and took off down the corridor again, sinking into the darkness. The woods would be a much easier location of dispatching all of the commanderâ€™s squad, including the commander himself. But what sparked Ozâ€™s curiosity was this â€œMagical EMPâ€ that caused the shuttle to lose all power. A new kind of energy like that would aid him in his fight against the Techs.<br/><br/>Suddenly the shuttle hit ground, shaking everything up inside of it. Oz struggled momentarily as he managed to hide among large supply crates. The loud clanking footsteps of the squad echoed louder and louder until they all formed up by the loading the doors, with the commander standing front and center to lead his men. Finally the shuttle stopped shaking and the doors flew open. Armed and ready, the Commander ran forward with his men at his heels, charging towards the forest.<br/><br/>In almost mere minutes, the Commanderâ€™s entire squad occupied the forest, marching through in a line-sweeper formation. Suddenly they stopped as the Commander held his hand up to signal a halt to their march. They all listened carefully, even Oz who was perched up on a branch high above the squad. Oz peered out further into the forest and let his helmet toggle a night-vision mode. He could see three young people at different locations of the forest; a female in a clearing that looked to be her back yard, a young male near a body of water in another spot, and another young looking male walking in the middle of the forest, and by the looks of him, he was the source of that magical energy. Suddenly the Commanderâ€™s voice boomed loudly with orders.<br/><br/>â€œNiles, take your men and go west! Chakra, take your men and go east! The rest of you with me! MOVE!â€ Oz was not about to let more innocent bystanders suffer at the hands of any Techs. Grabbing both blade handles, Oz leaped off the branch diving head first into the middle of the entire squadron. Just before impact Oz swung each hilt outwards and the blades extended with a loud sound. Oz hit the ground hard, slicing straight through two Techs upon landing. As Oz stood, the Commanderâ€™s eyes widened.<br/><br/>â€œDisregard, Hitori is here! FIRE!!â€ The entire squad turned towards the middle to begin unleashing their barrage of bullets, but they werenâ€™t fast enough. Switching his right hand grip on his sword to an underhanded grip, Oz darted forward striking down two more Techs simultaneously. Quickly turning towards his back, Oz raised his hand quickly and sent a large and powerful gust of wind forwards that knocked four other soldiers up against the trees hard. In mere seconds, Oz bounced from Tech to Tech, dropping one right after another with swift and expertly executed dual-sword techniques. The commander watched in horror as Oz sliced through his men like cheese.<br/><br/>â€œSplit up! Go after the other individuals, he canâ€™t be 3 places at once! Go, go, GO!â€ The commander barked. Oz ran forward, slicing through the neck of one Tech, then driving his other blade straight through another Tech. He reached down and grabbed a circular object off his belt, and in a flash he threw his hand out, sending forth an array of throwing stars at the Techs heading towards the girl, dispatching three out of six of them, then doing the same for the ones going towards the boy near the water. Oz turned and finished off a couple more of the Commanderâ€™s men before turning his mysterious gaze at the Commander himself. Oz sheathed his blades back on his shoulders and slowly removed his helmet, revealing his medium length black hair and extremely angry face.<br/><br/>â€œIâ€™m going to kill you with my bare handsâ€¦â€ His words were grim and his tone was malicious. The Commander scoffed and tossed down his rifle and pistol, bringing his hands up in and challenging manor.<br/><br/>â€œYouâ€™ve caused a lot of trouble for me and my men. Iâ€™d like nothing more than to just put a bullet through that face of yours, but to be honest I think Iâ€™d like to kill YOU with my bare hands as well. Seems only right for a terrorist like you!â€ The commander charged forward in full swing. Oz ducked under the attack and slammed an open palm to the inside of the commanderâ€™s knee, dropping him down far enough for Oz to rise back up with a vicious right uppercut to the jaw sending the commander falling on his back. Oz stood slowly and motioned for the Commander to get back on his feet. The Commander glanced down in anger, and jumped up towards Oz with a large knife drawn, slashing from side to side in poor attempts to slice through the Trist warrior.  With a smooth motion, Oz quickly disarmed the Commander and soon held the knife to the Commanderâ€™s throat, bringing the defeated man to his knees. The Commander simply looked up pitifully at Oz, who only returned a hateful gaze.<br/><br/>â€œDonâ€™t blink. I donâ€™t want you to miss a second of this.â€ His words and tone were enough to send chills down even the Commanderâ€™s spine.<br/><br/>â€œYou know, they say youâ€™re not supposed to look those you kill in the eye, otherwise theyâ€™ll haunt you for the rest of your lifeâ€ The commander spoke with a fearful and quiet tone.<br/><br/>â€œI hope you do, so I can kill you again, and again, and againâ€¦â€ With that Oz raised his hand high then slammed the open palm down on top of the Commanderâ€™s head. With a sickening thud, the Commander spat out a large amount of blood, then fell to the ground dead. Oz only relished in his victory momentarily before quickly grabbing his helmet and racing off to help the three young individuals that were around the forrest.
