Operation: Zero

The raid, had to succeed, Tobi thought.

Strapped into the Aratris's cockpit they were on their way to Jupiter's moon.

This moon had not yet been named by the international community but Sarah decided to name it Caspion, after her favourite ghost.

The moon was dead quiet, it took them over three hours to get there.

Avoiding warp drive so scanners don't pick them up

Tobi filled the time by listening to M&M and other hip-hop songs, to hype him up.

They had gone over the plan, multiple times.

Take out the leader and the rest fall in shambles.

The 137th Prince of the Cerian Empire, Kairon, had been given the ability to wield ground abilities.

His father had enough ground wielders to absorb, after the Rennayan invasion.

Sarah had built and repaired up to seventy-five robots by then.

She left ten behind, to continue construction on Beyond's HQ.

Armed the rest with programs on how to use assault rifles and fit them into military gear she found on the black market.

"We'll be entering their Terraforma's barrier pretty soon, get ready to parachute with the squads and good luck!"

Sarah said, looking back at the brothers.

They both unbuckle their seatbelts and start heading towards hangar bay.

Dressed in armoured space suits, that were sleek, black and with a blue stripe on the right arm spelling 'BEYOND' in capitals.

Made with nano-tech, the armour was more durable than a bulletproof vests and could use the users energy to protect areas upon impact in split seconds.

It also had a retractable helmet.

Osei had his sword on his back as always, but kept a short sword at the side of his left hip.

Tobi equipped his new sword, sheathed on his right, and kept a smaller one on his back, attached horizontally to his belt buckle.

They entered the bay.

Awaiting them were sixty androids fully fitted with black and blue military gear.

Ready to jump out the bay hangar.

"Operation: Zero, commencing in T- 5 mins," Sarah yelled over the overhead speaker.

Osei, looked at his brother and put both hands on his shoulders.

"You've got this, we're coming out alive and after this you're buying me donuts."

Tobi smiled, he didn't realize how close the two of them had grown in the last two weeks.

"Of course bro, we'll stop them together."

The Aratris broke through the Terraforma's nano barrier almost like bubble, sounding off the alarms immediately.

In front of them in an organized circle, were hundreds of futuristic looking tents and one large mobile structure indicating a headquarters.

Sarah opened fire immediately, and commenced evasive maneuvers, as anti aircraft turrets fired away and missiles sailed past them.

Balls of fire plumed up with clouds of smoke, as her missiles landed, killing hundreds of soldiers in their asleep and on the ground.

The Aratris was a fully equipped royal battleship and the camp wasn't prepared.

Sarah ordered the bots to lock-on and destroy all their parked spaceships.

There won't be an escape.

The Aratris repeated the laps of bombing, while the soldiers below scurried frantically to safety, wondering who was attacking them.

Sarah dropped the bay doors open.

"It's show time," she said.

Sarah's BSF militia jumped out in an organized manner, pulling parachutes as they landed.

Tobi was scared of heights, teetering along the edge, till Osei pushed him over.

Osei jumped off right after.

They were skydiving.

Tobi couldn't believe it.

Osei did not pull a parachute as he wizzed past Tobi

Who was awkwardly falling as he pulled his parachute early.

Osei gathered the electricity in his body and burst it out, sending an electrical surge through the nearby camps and breaking the fall for him

Dust and smoke kicked up everywhere.

The lamp lights went out.

Luckily Sarah equipped her militia with night and infrared vision.

They pressed forward.

Five of them split from the group to secure a tent as a base.

Lighting up soldiers that charged at them from all sides.

Osei flashed through the oncoming mob.

Tobi had just landed.

A soldier charged at him.

He dodged, still trying to unbuckle his parachute.

The soldier swung at him once more, but this Tobi raised his right hand in front him.

Summoned a ball of fire, shooting it towards the soldiers chest, which sent him flying back.

The fire continued seemingly climbing into his armour burning him to cinders.

Tobi, couldn't believe he had just killed someone.

He knew he had willed the fire to continue burning.

Sick to his stomach, he vomited to the side.

Overhead some of the militia had been carried off by the kayzuc let loose.

Flashes of electricity sparked the camps, as Osei, went on a rampage, killing everything in his path.

He was focused, there was nothing but the goal.

Tobi ran after him, sword unsheathed and raised a floating rock wall half the size of him, leading him as a shield.

Osei had stopped in his tracks and Tobi finally caught up, panting.

Tobi looked up.

In front of them, three Valmerian giants, orange faced, towering at 12 feet tall, wearing heavy space armour and carrying axes and swords the size of Tobi.

They blocked the brothers path.

Sarah had given both of them new comm devices beforehand, that combined Osei's translator device and let her keep in touch with them for thousand of kilometres.

"Invaders!"

The giants yell as they charged them full of hostility.

Osei without missing a beat charged forward.

He leaped up at the first lopping off the head, with a flash of electricity.

Tobi was surprised by his brother's calm demeanour.

He quickly broke out of it and froze the other two giants feet, immobilizing them before one of them caught his brother in the air.

Osei jumped back to regroup, with Tobi. Then they both launched forward, as the giants broke out of Tobi's ice prison swinging.

Tobi jumped to the right, while Osei, hopped onto a tent on his left.

He used it as leverage to jump even higher.

As he did so a small cloud formed quickly above them.

A small flash of lightning struck his sword from the clouds as he raised it up high.

He then kept his body compact and like lightning, struck down the giant, slashing him as thunder bellowed overhead.

The giant split in two diagonally.

Tobi charged up his blade, it was orange with flames dancing over it.

"Ignite: Red Scythe."

As he said that he swung down in the direction of the giant.

A flame cut erupted in an arc, slicing the ground up as it it snaked its way, splitting the giant in two, with blood and fire.

Tobi, was starting to get used to it.

The killing.

It was us or them he thought.

War was not always righteous.

The Aratris passed by overhead mowing down enemies.

Since, they had trackers, Sarah knew where they were at all times.

They waited out the gatling of bullets, that Sarah was raining down on the soldiers.

After a few moments the Aratris got attacked and boarded by a horde of mutant lizards, as if someone directed them.

It flew out of view shaking them off and crashing down somewhere.

Tobi, hoped Sarah was ok.

The brothers proceeded.

Taking out a few more soldiers, before finally reaching the center of the camp...
