[Let the war Begin: Scotias Vs Humans]

Beep..!

-[Attention to all Survivors on planet Apocalypse; This is a message from Prince Iris, commander of the alien Scotias]

Everyone received the message, the academy, the billboards, the cellphones, and around the globe. The message got around, especially when Scot brought the head of a dead human.

-[This would be the fate that shall befall those who do not kneel before the mighty prince Iris]

"Who is that person?", asked the president, while staring at the screen. His thought was on the human who own the head.

"Sir.. that's Mr. Arnold, a local commoner.. he's been missing the day the apocalypse descended"

Mika glanced at her dad, clearly the president was worried about the dead commoner, what a waste.

-[Your life is only inches away from destruction.. surrender or be destroyed, surrender and you shall live to serve Prince Iris as his loyal servant]

-[Or the war shall descend and none of you would survive the Millon fleets]

The camera altered outside space, where everyone watching the stream could see countless alien spaceships as if counting a bag of rice.

-[You have two days to decide, else on the second day... your race shall be extinct]

And with information, the stream shut down, causing a cascade of murmurs around the city.

"Sir, I think I know why they want to attack the second day", said a man in a black suit.

The president placed his hands underneath his gut, although he was flooded with thoughts because the whole city would be depending on him and he had to make decisions that would affect the whole nation, if he made the right decision, the whole nation would get the credit.

But if he makes the wrong one, the blame would be on just him, and him alone. "What's the reason?"

"It appears the second day is a replica eclipse, it means.. the eclipse becomes two and if my memories serve me right, the Scotias are scared of one eclipse"

"Doesn't that give us an advantage over them?", asked Mika's father. But no, the president is completely wrong.

"Unfortunately no sir, the first eclipse would be blocked by the second one, and the Scotias are at their highest of resilience when.."

"They draw from the second eclipse", the president finished the statement, flaring Mika's eyes beforehand she left her father's office.

"They would destroy the planet, along with everyone on it.. an eclipse normally lasts for 15 minutes.. how many does this one last?", asked the president.

"According to what has been discovered, a replica eclipse is twice the normal one, but the problem is, it last a day"

"What do you suggest we do, surrender or fight?"

"I believe that's a decision for the president to make, he only has to bear the burden if it doesn't work out well.. but I could say maybe calling for help from the other institutes"

The president's utterance adjusted from a surprised look the one he was focusing on the empty screen. Other academies, how unique, except for the fact that those academies are at.. never mind.

"Gather all the citizens within the borders of the safe zone, call Captain Commando, and tell him to prepare his cadets.. and also Captain Reed, call in all military.. bring whatever weapons we have.. "

"Uuuh sir, are you planning what I think you're thinking?"

"Yes James.. enough holding back, tomorrow we take back our city, everything. it's time to make use of the apocalypse strategy", said the president.

But James and Mika's father were both lost in a similar thought. 'That's the strongest strategy we've come up with... God help us if we fail'

———

In a confined room, mirroring the image of an interrogating room. Micheal sat there with his face plopped white listening to Reed as he explain things, with Kitsune and Zombiak who won't stop scaring the shit out of Captain Reed.

"It is our top duty to protect Mr. Micheal, no one must know he's a zombie-"

-[A Liege], Zombiak sneered, correcting and frightening Reed once more.

"P..p.. pardon me, no one must know Mr. Micheal is a liege, his identity should be kept only to ourselves and his zombie friends"

-[Undead Armies.. hahaha, this human species is hilarious]

"P..p... pardon me, and his undead Armies, we'll be giving you a fake band with EMP, it would alter the electromagnetic wave of the apocalypse watch, hence no one would be able to detect your species"

Soon after, a random cadet ran into the room and yelled. "Captain Reed, the.. the... the president wants to speak with you"

"Well go tell him I'm with someone important, can't you see?", Reed yelled back, prompting the cadet to look at Micheal who childishly smiled at him.

'Is he really that important compared to the president?', the cadet thought.

"It's fine Mr Reed, I've got a mage lesson to attend to, I think you should meet with the president.. if it's that important"

Mr. Reed gave a nod of approval and wandered outside along with his team behind him. While the cadet stood there until Micheal walked past him.

-[My Liege, this human is somehow smart enough to let you pass before he-]

Unfortunately, Zombiak was wrong, the cadet placed his hands across the door and motioned Micheal to hold his track.

"Who the hell do you think you are, you want to pass before a year four senior does?"

-[My Liege.. with your permission, let me slice and dice him nicely]

'Well you don't have my permission for that'

Gulp..

Unknown to the cadet, the two agents came back and raised him by his collar, hanging him like some weightless doll.

"Hey, have some respect for him.. don't you know he's a liege?.. don't worry Micheal.. we'll take this one for some tennis tossing."

The agents shared a sinister grin and tossed the cadet at the far end of the corridor, before the cadet's face could hit the floor, the other dashed, caught the cadet, and tossed him back to the Thrower.

-[Hahaha... ]

-[Hahaha.. ]

'Hmph... funny uh?'

-[Hahaha.. yes it is my Liege.. haha]
