Chapter 10: 100 to Nothing

Chapter 10: 100 to Nothing

I really wanted to just get on with fighting the Sceyth, however, Alice made me help in preparing first. Which took around three months of my time, heading out and buying or stealing weapons from low-level Dark Markets. We gave those weapons to Najm, Mazek, Oru, and Gres that were planets with all the rebels. Once we had prepared as much as we could, everyone gathered on Oru, a desert planet.

Gathering around a wide round table that had a screen in the middle showing high-tech maps, we discussed on how exactly the fight will go down. They lay out a map of the main HQ of Sceyth located on the Bire planet.

“The best time to strike is when Sceyth begins his taxation on his own people along with ours. That’s when they send out most of their army away from Bire.” A four-limb being named Fuio who was the leader of the Oru rebels explained.

“How many will there be in Bire during that time?” An eight-limb being named Joijn asked, leader of the Gres rebels.

“Closest we could guess is around 120 million, anything lower would be lucky for us.” Tark replied to Joijn.

“Not only that but we have to consider the four Sceths whom will remain in Bire. A three-limb named Akhla points out, leader of the Mazek rebels.

“Don’t worry about the Sceths, Ethan and I will be the ones to take them on,” Alice says.

All I did was just lay down in the back since planning and whatnot was not something I do.

“Dam, Alice looks fine today.” I thought to myself as I checked her out.

So it took an entire days worth time until they came to an agreement on how to fight. 30 million including me and Alice would head down to Bire and start the fight in order to take it over as quick as possible. The other 10 million would stay behind hidden in wait with the darkness and do a surprise attack on the reinforcements that will come rushing to Bire. This plan was made without knowing how strong I was nor did they consider the strength of Sceyth himself. Although I just wanted to go in guns blazing, I refrained from having the mentality of taking on anyone other than the most wanted, Elisa told me that the universe is a big place and you never know if you encounter someone who is bigger and badder than you are.

We right away set the plan in motion by already heading out as early as possible. Since moving within the darkness of Alice would take a long time. Slipping by all forms of detection and getting near Bire took around two months of my time total. Many grew hungry since we couldn’t really stock up on much food and water but all the rebels held it in for the sake of securing a better future for Hoidu.

It was all going smoothly as we waited and watch the Sceyth spaceships move out to do their taxation. However, I had noticed how oddly the spaceships seemed to circle around slowly or go towards our direction.

“Well s**t, I think we might be fucked.” I randomly said in the crowded control room of the spaceship I was on.

Everyone looked at me wondering why I said that and that’s when our plan went from 100 to 0 when a sudden fleet of Sceyth spaceships appeared from behind and began to fire right at the spot we were hiding in.

“They know we’re here!” Someone screamed.

“Someone betrayed us!” Everyone began to go in a panic and looked at me with blaming eyes.

“Don’t look at me, you guys for sure had someone among you who sold out their own people.” I calmly explained.

Since everything was going to s**t they didn’t bother to listen and were about to attack me until the ship got blown up. Being sent flying in the middle of space and seeing from a distance everyone getting annihilated one by one, I knew the plan was no more and it would have been a matter of time before everyone but me and Alice would die.

“Alice! I’m going right onto the planet to let loose. There is no way you can save everyone here. All you can do now is at least try and take out the Sceyth ruler.” I spoke on the earpiece, using my power to be able to transfer my voice in the middle of space.

Alice didn’t reply since she was probably angered and sad on how all her people who worked hard in getting a plan and rebellion going to get easily taken out. Not knowing if Alice had listened or let alone was still alive I still continued to do my thing, landing on a destroyed piece of a spaceship and charged my step to jump onto Bire.

When I crash landed, I was greeted by thousands of soldiers right off the bat shooting laser beams, rockets, and all sorts of crap on me.

“F**k! I can’t move!” The barrage of attacks didn’t really do damage to me but it still had enough force to prevent me from countering.

Unable to move a muscle, I focus my entire Nermuen energy onto my left hand just like I did when I fought Alice, but this time I kept it held for as long as I could until it was completely unstable. When I let it all out I caused a very powerful nuke-like explosion, destroying and killing almost all of the soldiers who were around a six kilometer radius. I injured myself as well but it wasn’t too serious, however, now that I was no longer pinned down I go dashing around at my casual speed killing every Sceyth soldier with ease. Within 10 minutes, I eventually got the attention of the Sceth commanders who came rushing, thinking I was Alice.

“Who the hell are you?” A four-limb man named Eltor who wore strange armor with an electric current circling around him appeared before me, surprised I was someone they haven’t seen before.

“I’m just a human who made a deal to trash your planet,” I replied.

“It doesn’t matter who he is Eltor, leaving this planet alive is no option for him.” A four-limb woman named Vera, wearing a greenish outfit that looked like it was made out of grass.

Two others also surrounded me, one of them was Raqen who was a six-limb wearing robes and had a staff on one hand looking like a wizard. The other was a five-limb with the other limb strangely being another hand on his back like a scorpion tail named Dormug, clad in pure armor with a giant ax equipped.

“Oh dam, s**t just got real.” I thought to myself as I get on guard.

I began to take things seriously, waiting for one or all four to make the first move. Eltor was the first to start the show, moving super fast while coated in lightning. Luckily it was a speed my eyes and senses were still able to follow and I counter him with a punch right onto his face the moment he came near me. Sending Eltor flying with that single punch, Vera was the next in line to do something and she uses a technique that surrounds me in a wide and giant pillar of pedals that spin very fast. Dormung who entered from the top comes crashing down trying to slice me with his ax upon landing. When I dodged away and got near those pedals I get severely cut when I made contact with the whirlpool of pedals.

“So they want me to stay close and tango with this b***h?” I easily figure out that strategy.

Charging up a lot of my energy on my fist, I rush towards Dormung who tries landing a swing with his axe and slam me with that third arm but I dodge them like it was no big deal. Getting close I punched his big gut and sent him soaring right through that whirlpool of pedals that literally chopped him to pieces.

“What in the?” Vera having a shocked expression on how strong I was.

Making myself tough enough I crash past that whirlpool without getting cut and dashed towards Vera who couldn’t even keep up with my speed.

“Later b***h,” I tell Vera right to her face and twist her neck.

The training with Elisa actually paid off a lot, I was able to tell the difference between me back when I was still on earth and after. Basically I would have gotten s**t on if it wasn’t for the training, although I still didn’t want to get too cocky.

“Alright, you’re next.” I turned around, seeing that Raqen has been watching idly.

Raqen suddenly pointed his staff towards me and shot an insanely quick beam that I couldn’t react, piercing my chest and heart. Feeling real pain from that, my regeneration kicked in on time to heal my heart from lethal damage but since I was injured for that brief moment, Eltor who was still alive but bloodied on the face had came behind and struck me with a lot of lightning that wasn’t regular.

“God! F**k!” I yelled out on the floor in pain with burns and my clothes torn a bit. “M***********s! Now I’m pissed!” I shouted.

Getting up about to attack, the entire Sceyth fleet was beginning to come around, already having finished off all the rebels.

“Fire!” A voice shouts from a speaker on a spaceship.

All of the ships began to shoot everything they had right in the exact spot I was on and made a giant crater. I was lucky to have trained the Nermuen power the right way, otherwise my regeneration wouldn’t have been enough to survive such an onslaught of attacks. When they stopped firing, I tossed two bombs of stored up energy during the time I was getting bombarded and destroyed most of their fleet with just those two. Raqen and Eltor came back to the front line, knowing their soldiers wouldn’t be enough to kill me let alone hurt me.

“Come on b*****s!” I began to feel myself get excited, knowing I was fighting an entire galaxy sized army on my own.

Raqen taps his staff on the ground and a marking appeared underneath me that turned into weird ropes that tied me up while at the same time burning my skin. Eltor tried approaching from behind but I faked that I was bounded by those ropes and catch Eltor’s face when he got in range and slammed the b***h on the ground while crushing that face.

“To think Hoidu had a trump card like you,” Raqen said with a calm look.

“I already said I’m just a human, a human trying to get a hot girl to join my upcoming crew," I told him as I cracked my neck.

“I assume you are speaking about Alice. I felt her presence near our headquarters a while ago, she seemed to have tried to fight our leader which was a foolish mistake. Someone of her level is going to die like a bug by Sceyth just like you-”

Before he finished I just dashed up to him and pierce through his chest with my right arm, pulling out his heart out of him. Raqen seemed to be aware that he stood no chance and bet it all on Sceyth to finish me.

“Then I better hurry,” I tell a dead Raqen and kick his body off me.

Ignoring the rest of the soldiers whom I easily kill when they got in my way, I rushed towards the headquarters where this Sceyth dude was at.
