The slum had become a war zone recently, the constant invasion of Gaia soldiers hadn't only done great damage to the slum citizens

Panick and fear had began to set in on them, after all a great mind once said, best way to defeat an enemy is to first defeat their mind

With the mother box gone and fear for the unknown taking away, Gaia soldiers aren't holding back anymore

Many of the slum colony had fallen to the invasion of Gaia soldiers, no place seems to be safe anymore and that is exactly the concerns of a certain group at the moment

In one of the underground settlement of the slum, the surface aside be polluted is now been infested by Gaia soldiers

Those that refused to go understand due to their mindset and pride not to live like rodents were the first to evacuate the surface when things got tough

This group of over 300 people, mixture of man and android is certainly one of those group and a huge debate is on going amongst them

"What do we do now, its only matter of time before they catch up with us, wirh each passing day they are craving closear and we are at the end of the road right now"

One of the leaders of this colony spoke to the head leader, he his s helplessly as his own words

"We can't just sit and do nothing, true we are at our end wit, trapped at the middle, one wrong move we are dead"

Another chipped in, "and its not like we can surrender either"

"That isn't possible, those that tried that regretted their choice, those dogs didn't take pity on them

Killing them like some sort plague that is infesting the world when in real sense they are the plague"

The other seven in the planing table nodded in agreement, the death mews of those that surrender Is still Bert fresh in their head

Nobody can tell what the true intention of the Gaia are, have they so much grow they see everyone else inferior and a curse to be alive

"From my analysis, we still have one option left, not that it has much result but its better than waiting here to be slaughter at last"

An android amongst the seven spoke, a sense of relief wash over the others to they heard his suggestion

"Are you mad, how do you expect is to move toward the dead sea area, do you think everyone here is an android like you"

One of the seven flare up In anger, probably a pent up rage that had been building inside of him

"And what do you mean by been an android like me, I'm very much human like you"

"I doubt that" tension grew amongst this two instantly, "its all the fault of your kind, this separation and milling wouldn't have coe to be if you imd haven't revolted"

"Nonsense, it's all your kinds fault, been too greedy and selfish" the android retorted back

Unfortunately for him, his replied trigger some nerves, sound of heavy metal rubbing against each other filled the air

As a few with exoskeleton robotic part attached to their body or wore turn their weapons on the android

They weren't the only ones, down below the planing table, humans and android were facing up against each other with a weapon pointed at each other

Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.

You could see a human with mechanical gun arms pointing his gun at an android and a blade hand at another android by the side

Same could be said for the androids, each ready to blow off of slice off the head of their target

"Put those weapon down, there is no use fighting amongst our selves" the leader spoke to pacify thing

He doesn't like the situation of things too bit he can't go around apportioning blames, it just an excuse for irresponsibility

"You all should listen to your leader" Everyone was taken aback by the strangers voice they just heard loud and clear

Everyone ready to tear down eahnother throat just a moment back immediate unit, turn back against back as they all pointed their weapons towards the direction of the voice

The leader wasn't n exception either, "who is there, show yourself at once" one of the sub leader demanded

"Of course I will" the voice resounded as a figure set out of the shadows, "I am alpha, enemy of Gaia"

............

At another area within the slum also referred to as the old world, exist a camp, unlike the formal camp

This camp had a few things done differently, first they aren't hiding underground but a secluded place at the surface

A place surrounded with mountains and hill, also the people here are all android of different version

Be it synthetic android, robotic android and so on, also technology here aren't joke

They are armed to the brink, mecha could also be seen long a few other modern day techs of the new world Gaia confederation

At the leader board stood a single figure going through the war map and plans on the table

"My Lady, we taken care of the Gaia soldiers approaching our way and successful beguile anyone else coming this way

We made sure to leave crums that would lead them the opposite direction from our camp"

A female android reported immediately she got into the tent of the leading figure

"And the search and rescue team?" The leading figure wearing a mask asked, if victor is here at the moment

He would recognized this mask figure, as she is the same one that attacked the Gaia scientists camp last time

"We are still walking on it, our scanner detect more android at the opposite direction to our camp

Bit we would have to deal with a stronger force k Gaia army if we wishes to get to them

Not to mentioned that some of the signl might be a trapp to lure you out"

"Hmm" the mask figure thought over if for a while, "things are getting out of hands

How is the research coming about, is there any improvement so far?"

"No my Lady, we haven't been able to create a balance to even the power surge up, I'm sorry"

"You don't have to be, I understand how difficult it could be to work with an incomplete hypothesis

Just tell them to so their best and don't forget to always keep and eye on the camouflage force field surrounding the base

You don't want me to remind you what would happen if it run out of energy, those bastard won't take chance once discovered"

Rest assured my lady, I doubt check the analysis of the batter life span and how long it would take before it completely exhausted "

"Good, I'll be off now, you are in charge a usual, don't press the emergency button if its something you can handle"

Her subordinate nodded after which the mask figure step out of the tent, taking a secluded part, arriving at one end of the camp

Placing her hands like she is going to high five someone, the clear space before her ripples as an energy force field came in view in front of her

Shortly after the ripples the size of a door that had rolled up on her touch, broke apart, rolling into each other like digital bricks

Creating a clear opening for her to go through, at which it immediately closed back.once she had gone through

Going back to normal, as the sight of a bursting camp behind I turn to a dead and silent dessert once the ripple is completely sealed back

Ignoring the adnormality, she contueon her journey, arriving beside an hill, observing her environment and confirm it to be safe

She punch a few code on the smart watch underneath her sleeve, and a whizzing sound echoed in front of her

A one man battle ship came in view, exiting its stealth mode, the mysterious lady bord the ship

Power it on and took to the sky, turning the ship to the direction of Gaia, she put the ship on stealth once more and head for her destination

Disappearing from sight and definitely from scanner senses too, none would notice her ship either as it engine sound is almost inexistent.

"Sir we just receive a reading at the north desert directi......" The soldier stop half way with his speech

"What were you saying" ho captain asked seeing his confused face and how he was hitting the portable monitor in his hands

"It most have been glinsh Sir, the signal detected had suddenly disappeared"

"Hmm, it might be, G3GHI what is the status in that area?" At the captain question an Ai responded

"Currently that area is void of life and activities, no sign of energy signature in that area too"

"I see, keep me posted if there is any change, also send my request of supplies to the headquarters"

"Yes sir" the voice fades out to carry out its instruction, I wonder when we can finally rid this world of this rebel so we can expand our territory

The captain thought to himself, going over reports coming in from other military camp sites.
