5 The Amazing Olen!
The officer was stunned at the quickness of events! The creature's claws made a direct hit on his chest! And he's not even wearing a bullet-proofed vest!
But surprisingly, the creature's fingers only curled down and its elbows bent after hitting him. The Borac's arms suddenly lost their brute strength!
This allowed the creature's face to collide with the officer's head gear. Their bodies also collided and the two were thrown together.
The officer realized the brute was already lifeless. Something pierced through its neck.
No one from the military noticed that it was Olen who's responsible for saving the commanding officer. Moments ago, he flicked a marble using his thumb.
Six inch-long spikes protruded from the marble after it launched from his fingers. The spiked marble nearly severed the creature's head!
Even located more than three hundred meters away, the boy prodigy, Oliver Neil Flores, Olen's complete name, hit the vital spot of the mid-air borac at a perfect timing. Olen was extremely dextrous when it comes to shooting marbles.
The commanding officer realized that the creatures' weakness was their neck.
"AIM AT THE NECK!" the officer yelled twice.
Several creatures in the frontline have already fallen, but two creatures neared in and jumped, but not to the soldiers. Their target was the Simba vehicle. As they landed, their hands and feet's claws caused deep dents and scratches on the vehicle.
Three creatures did the same on another and pounded the vehicle. But the curious behavior of the creatures only gave the soldiers an opportunity to finish them.
Bullets continued to rain on the creatures. After five minutes of intense battle, the military and the police managed, with the help of the armored cars, to subdue the beasts.
Sadly, four men were killed and seven were injured.
As the last beast fell, the soldiers proudly cheered. They jumped with euphoria to relish their victory. For them, it was like winning a world war. It was their first time to battle what for them were alien enemies.
However, none of them can hide the sadness over the death and injury of some of their comrades.
After a brief period of checking and easing themselves, the soldiers approached to have a closer look at the creatures and to give the final shot to the still breathing ones.
The soldiers still can't completely shake off the tense from their bodies. But what horrified them more was when they closely examined the Boracs.
They looked more human than they appear. Although their eyes' pupils were yellow, they eerily looked like human eyes.
"Up to now, I still find it hard to believe that there are creatures like these existing in the world," a soldier said.
"Yes, these things are really really mysterious," replied the other.
"Waaahh!" one soldier yelped loud enough and got the attention of the others.
"Look at the teeth of these creatures, they're so beautifu—"
He didn't finished since his dentures or false teeth fell. And it fell inside a creature's mouth. The others saw this and tried all their best not to laugh. But one didn't make it long enough, and this caused everybody to laugh.
The soldier quickly picked his dentures. But when he inserted his fingers inside the creature's mouth, the weirdest thing startled him. "Yaayy," he yelped and withdrew his hand. The hairs in his skin stood up as he saw two tentacles came out of the creature's mouth.
Four more tentacles came out. He quickly aimed his rifle at the mouth of the creature. The Borac might still be alive and was transforming into something more frightening! The other soldiers also changed to alert position.
Seconds later, the soldier's dentures came out! The soldiers aimed! Then an octopus came out of the creature's mouth! Seeing this, all the soldiers broke into laughter. Their stomachs even ached from laughing intensely.
But the laughter was cut short when—
"INNNCOMIIIING!!!" somebody shouted at the top of his voice. A third tsunami was raging in!
This time, it's frighteningly different. The wave had dark shade and was bigger than the second – more than thirteen meters high.
The military scrammed. Some hopped into the armored vehicles and attempted to drove them out. But it was too late.
The gushing water displaced the Simba vehicles. Two were stuck on debris and were immobilized and two were capsized.
Many among the personnel succeeded in securing their safety on buildings but some were unfortunately flushed by the water and died while others were injured.
Minutes later, the commanding officer called out to quickly reposition. At least, two of the Simba vehicles were repositioned.
As the water slowly subsided, the soldiers saw new creatures emerging out of the water. Before them, on the shore, was a terrifying sight! There were around two thousands Boracs and they started to cover the coastline!
The white sand of the Island was turned into black. The military were horrified. The loathsome brutes were angry and hungry for vengeance.
"This was planned. The attack is systematic!" said the officer.
"The second tsunami was just a lure in order to draw us and the vehicles near the shore and also a check whether the bright wall will re-appear," he added.
"We need reinforcement!" the officer yelled over the phone. "And for God's sake, bring grenade launchers!"
The military started to panic and fear seized them all.
Just as when some soldiers were about to run away, Tina, glowing with hellfire, bolted through the creatures crowding the shoreline. Each creature blocking her way was obliterated! When she turned back, the same thing happened.
She wiped out more than half of them since they didn't avoided her. Rather, they instinctively converged towards her.
This was a variation of Patintina's power. She can do this by writing different summoning symbols on her arm.
But just like when she creates a force field, she feels exhausted afterwards and needs to take at least fifteen minutes rest to fully recover. And every time she uses her power, she suffers burns on her body. But they also gradually heal together with her recovery of physical strength.
-
When hellfire around Tina's body started to fade, she ran towards Olen. The remaining Boracs, there were more than eight hundred of them, swarmed towards her with wild rage.
"Tina, run farther and hide!" shouted Olen as he advanced a little to block the beasts.
Tina ran further away from Olen and hid herself on a palm tree. Then Olen took charge.
"It's show time," Olen said with a confident smile on his face. His eyes beamed with excitement as he was about to experience a rare thrill of fighting challenging and extraordinary foes.
Olen dashed towards a coconut tree, bounced from it and, while mid-air,
BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM! Six successive blasts shook the island as he fired high-explosive holens (marbles) by flicking them with his thumbs.
The explosions were spread out neatly such that it caused maximum damage to the numbers of the creatures. There's not a single doubt that the hits were done with strategic accuracy!
Even the military were shocked and shaken at the intensity of the blasts. The blasts made the remaining creatures halt and smoke covered them.
Olen had two types of explosive marbles which he called H-2 and H-4 respectively. The first had blasting power equivalent to a hand-grenade, while the second was equivalent to an RPG (rocket-propelled grenade), which had over three times more destructive power than the first.
The six explosions which just occured were all H-4.
Olen was right now wearing his nano-tech cybernetic suit under his jacket and jeans. This atomic energy-powered exoskeleton suit enhanced his physical strength, allowing him to jump high and run fast.
Seventy percent of the power of his suit was dedicated to his hands or grip force. This allowed him to flick marbles using his thumbs with a maximum velocity almost twice of those of bullets. Due to his powerful grip, Olen was also called the "Eagle Claw Olen."
On his lower arms were cartridges where he stored holens or marbles. The cartridges dropped marbles to his palms. Olen was extremely dextrous and fast at flicking marbles so that he can shoot, using his two hands, one hundred and sixty marbles per minute. More marbles were stored in the pockets of his belt.
As the smoke dissipated, the Boracs growled viciously on Olen. But before they can finish their growls, another four explosions rapidly occurred, blasting many of them. Olen smiled.
But for the remaining creatures, the explosions only escalated their hatred against Olen. The beasts' pupils constricted as they looked fiercely at him; then they charged with more ferocity.
The military and police regained courage and resumed assault on the creatures. More than three hundred creatures rushed toward them.
The gun turret of the two Simba vehicles turned to aim at the advancing enemies.
"WAAAHHHHHH!!" two soldiers roared on top of their adrenaline rush as they drained the .50 mm bullets in the ammunition belt of the M2 Browning heavy machine gun mounted on the Simba vehicles.
Olen rolled to the right in order to get an angle shot, hitting with two explosive marbles the ones in the middle of the crowding creatures. The strategic hit caused another significant damage to the enemies' numbers.
Olen also had two grappling devices attached on his forearms respectively. Each of the grappling cables had a marble on its end. He flicked a grappling marble to one of the creatures charging towards the government troops.
As soon as the marble embedded on the creature's back, six spikes automatically protruded hooking the cable on the creature's flesh.
Immediately, the cable wound and Olen jumped to be carried along, maneuvered his trajectory and used the cable to bind six creatures. He then jumped away from the five and fired an H-4 on them.
At almost exact moment, Olen flicked another H-4, blasting some beasts that were rushing toward him. And before his feet landed, he had shot another H-4 to the brutes rushing toward the soldiers.
Hence, he had fired three marbles while mid-air and all hit strategically, causing maximum damage to the numbers of the creatures.
Olen's intention was to draw back to him some of the creatures that were advancing toward the soldiers. He needed to do this since otherwise the military will be wiped out given the number of the creatures and he was aware that the soldiers' ammunition have already nearly depleted.
But as soon as he landed, a creature jumped at him pushing him along and they rolled on their side. The creature jab its claws on Olen's side, but they failed to penetrate his anti-ballistic jacket.
In return, Olen, with a backward smash of his right arm, hit the beast in its side, throwing it meters away from him. The Borac died instantly.
He quickly stood up, jumped backwards to increase distance from the enemies and to get closer to Tina and snapped two marbles using his left and right thumbs successively.
Before he could land, the marble from his left exploded in the beasts advancing toward him. Six spikes jut out of the marble from his right before it hit the neck of a creature that was approaching Tina. And an instant after he landed, four more explosions blew up the creatures in front of him.
-
As of this moment, Olen had exterminated more than two hundred of the brutes. Seemingly, Olen was in control of the situation. But this was far from accurate.
More than a hundred brutes still remained and he had no H-4 marble left. The military have killed some creatures but there were still about three hundred of them.
The Boracs have started butchering the soldiers and they were panicking and have scattered. Some soldiers screamed for help as deadly talons reached them. But no one else can help them!
The two machine guns in the remaining Simba vehicles proved very helpful. They're saving the soldiers by stopping some creatures that approached them. But it's not possible to cover all the men.
Olen now has to rely only on his H-2 marbles, which have lesser blasting power. He knew he can't be of help to the soldiers now. They will be wiped out, he's nearly sure about it.
But a gleam of hope came! Three cars arrived, each carrying a machine gun. The soldiers thanked God for the reinforcement. Three additional powerful machine guns will greatly increase their chance of survival!
The cars have more advantage since it was more maneuverable compared to the Simba vehicles. They've started to fire as soon as they came and the Boracs were hurt.
The rapid fire of the three machine guns confounded the brutes! The raining .50 calibre bullets were overwhelming them! Apparently, the tide of the war was turning in favor of the humans.
However, things quickly became worse! Nine creatures of a different kind suddenly appeared under the sand just below the simba vehicles and the cars, causing them to turn upside down.
They were bigger, tougher, faster and more intelligent! They have shorter tails compared to the first creatures and have five fingers in each their hand and foot.
They've burrowed and hid under the sand before the water of the third tsunami subsided. Now they're destroying the armored vehicles!
One soldier had just loaded his rifle with a new magazine when one of the nine creatures appeared from the under sand in front of him. His M4 rifle was already pointing towards the body of the beast.
"Waaahhhhh!!" the soldier screamed as he pressed the trigger hard and emptied the magazine. All the bullets landed a direct hit at the creature's abdomen!
But the beast' wounds were shallow. Unlike the first kind of creature that can be killed by enough numbers of M4 bullets, the close distance full-power of the M4 rifle was nothing to this new monster in front him.
The brute stared fiercely at the soldier and slashed his hips with its claws. The soldier's body was cut into two!
The other men who witnessed the event were stricken with a much deeper fear so that many of them lost their strength to continue! The soldiers near the vehicles panicked and ran away.
There's also one among the nine that looked a bit different. The back portion of its body is greyish and its front is white. Unlike the other eight that immediately jumped to action and were often growling, this one was silent, stationary and seemed only observing.
M4 bullets hit it, but they didn't caused wounds on her - a clear indication that it was the toughest and, perhaps, the strongest among the nine. Nonetheless, it hissed, revealing a set of teeth that were long, sharp, and pointed.
Except for its teeth, it was the most human-like compared to the rest of the creatures because of its lighter complexion and because it's the only one without a tail. Its eyeballs were also green. Finally, it's the only one that looked female since it has breasts!
But the weirdest of all was that, although the new group of creatures were more human-like than the first group, they were eating the humans! What was outrageous was that they were only eating the face part of their victims!
