Chapter :-88 Changes (Part-3)

(A/N:-The terrorist dialogues may contain a few Urdu words—I have explained the meaning so no problem.)

---------------------------------------------------

Under the scorching sun, the whole wasteland was literally burning as hot air blew throughout the land. Air so hot that even the mere touch was enough to inflict severe burns on the skin.

On top of a huge slope, tents and army camps could be seen everywhere, hundreds of terrorists with guns and rocket launchers within their hands were constantly moving around like ants, training and preaching their cause to the new recruits.

One of them, wearing an army jacket and black glasses walked towards the main tent where one of the leaders of [Al-Qaeda], Al-Rimi resided in.

"ˈlēdər (Leader) we are ready, the [Rc-Squad] has already installed the explosives we bought from America on the railway tracks. According to the scanner we placed on the route, the train is a few kilometres away from the explosives."

A bearded man with no moustache wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh, a chequered black and white scarf that is usually worn around the neck or head was looking at the wasteland using binoculars.

Behind him stood a few people wearing similar keffiyeh, with Ak-47 within their hands. The bearded man's name was [Al-Rimi], one of the leaders of the terrorist organisation.

The cost of the materials made by the [European Union of Magic] was extremely costly and could fetch a high price in the dark market regulated by the terrorists.

Thus to secure the materials and make sure that the mission is a success, high-command sent him to this wasteland to intercept the steam-train and slaughter the individuals guarding it.

According to the information they received, they knew that the European Union of Magic had stationed a few individuals to protect the materials but unfortunately they couldn't obtain the identifies of those who were guarding the materials.

Even so, it didn't matter, in front of 6-buster tanks and 200-armed personal along with 3-magician, not many forces could resist such line-up by sending only individuals to protect the goods.

*Choo!*

*Choo!*

The smoke and sound blasting out from the chimney structure on top of the engine head could be seen and heard by Al-Rimi who had been watching the railway lines using his binoculars.

He removes the binoculars from his eyes and gave his soldiers a command.

"Prepare for detonating the bomb implanted in the railway tracks! After the train is blasted off track, fire towards the engine compartment and blow em up with the tanks!"

"I don't even want a scratch on the materials! Now go!"

"Yes ˈlēdər (leader)…."

"Upar wala apka bhala kare" ( May God do you good)

The terrorist surrounded the railway track while hiding under the sand dunes, waiting for the train to collapse due to the explosive they implanted.

(Back inside the Engine Compartment)

"Squad Leader, detectors are picking up life force around the railway tracks about a few feet away from our current position. Permission to engage!?"

"Permission granted, kill the enemy and protect the goods, start calling each other by code name given to each one of us."

"Yes, Darth Sidious…."

Henrik knew that explosives had been implanted in the railway lines, his gold-rimmed glasses weren't just for show. The latest technology developed by the Japanese military was incorporated while making these special glasses.

The Japanese researchers were sure that their [plasmon laser sensor] could detect [pentaerythritol tetranitrate], or PETN, an explosive compound considered a favourite of terrorists. Small amounts of it pack a powerful punch, and because it is plastic, it escapes X-ray machines when not connected to detonators.

Using such advanced technology, Henrik already knew about the bombs going off and blasting the train off the track but Henrik wanted to observe what would the Hydra squad do to survive this fight.

*Boom*

As soon as the engine compartment reached near the terrorists, the explosives went off and the front part of the train was thrown into the hair.

Inside the compartment, Henrik levitated above the ground using [Force] to avoid being influenced by the sudden jerk on the body but the others weren't as skilled.

Their bodies were jerked in a random direction as they felt the gravitational force disappearing from their bodies while then we're in the air. The one named 'Panda' quickly took out him M.A.G and pulled the trigger.

"[Modern magic:-Stable Equilibrium]….."

In a millisecond, an activation sequence appeared beneath the engine compartment as their perception of time seemed to slow down to a millisecond. An external force was being applied to the whole compartment as the whole compartment once again tilted back towards its original position without oscillating.

All the forces acting on the engine compartment of the train was balanced by the external force while the compartment balanced itself though they still got off the track.

[Modern Magic:- Stable Equilibrium] is magic which converted psions into external force, the magic was area-control type magic and systematic type magic hybrid it also combined Moment-type and acceleration-type sub-categories of the systematic type magic.

It had many applications; to correct trajectory, deflect incoming missiles, accelerate an object, decelerate an object, increase its weight or decrease it, etc and due to being a modern magic-it utilized psion to alter the Eidos of an object.

Psions are particle manifestations of intention and thought, while Pushions are particle manifestations of the emotions from the intention and thought.

Psions and Pushions are both observed in "Para-Psychological Phenomena" which includes Magic as well. These particles are composed of non-physical entities and are not similar to 'Fermions' (that makes the composition of matter) or 'Bosons'.

Pushion is hypothesized to be particles formed by emotions. It is not uncommon for a magician to be able to perceive Psions and Pushions.

*Creak!*

The metal wheels of the train made a high-pitched sound after getting off track, skidding across the wasteland.

'Panda' manipulated the vectors of the force applied on the engine compartment and safely balanced it, causing the compartment to have a safe landing.

The others also equipped their M.A.Gs and quickly exited the compartment before taking their positions. Henrik walked out of the compartment and sat on the top, he didn't have any intention to interfere in the upcoming fight.

"Let's even the odds…."

Henrik waved his palm as the ground was pulled up forming a proper wall behind which the Hydra-squad could take cover. Once again he made a grabbing motion as the incoming tanks suddenly caved in and the exploded.

The missiles within the tank also exploded causing massive damage on the enemy side, Retsu and others took their positions and got ready to confront the enemy magicians.

"Let the battle begin!…."
