Earth Year 2840. The Shallows.
The bioluminescent treeline erupted as an aggressive pack of crystal armored beasts charged out with jaws dripping acidic saliva.
"Unidentified biological hostiles, we have multiple contacts! Form up and concentrate your fire!"
Eva shouted at the squad as Zeon aim his plasma rifle at the lead beast.
But these creatures moved with impossible speeds as Zeon, Chang and Daniel fired simultaneously but the crystal armor absorb the thermal shock.
"Fall back to the lifepod now!"
Eva commanded while firing her sidearm into a glowing eye as the highly trained Sci Fi squad was backed against the hull of Lifepod 7 as another beast leapt toward Ruby.
"Get behind me, Ruby!"
Zeon yelled and braced himself but impact never came because N032 intercepted the beast in mid air.
N032 grabbed its lower jaw with his gauntlet.
"He... He caught it in the air!"
Chang gasped as N032 twilight aura flared slamming the creature into the shallow water and drove his metal boot through the crystal skull with a crunch.
"Stars above, what is he?"
Daniel whispered as N032 slowly walked toward the remaining predators while his aura projected an apex predator’s absolute dominance.
"They’re backing away,"
Ruby realized as she watched the mindless alien beasts flee in terror.
N032 sliced two fleeing beasts in half with a crescent wave of twilight energy before they reached the treeline.
"Something else is coming!"
Ruby screamed and pointed at the sea.
Just then, the ocean floor suddenly vibrated as a leviathan erupted from the sea and snapped scythe like claws while water cascaded off its obsidian plating.
But N032 didn’t flinch as he tightened his grip on his sword and condensed his aura preparing to leap at its throat.
Before N032 moved, an orange energy shot through the air like thunder as a hyper accelerated railgun slammed into the leviathan’s skull dropping its lifeless mass back into the ocean.
"Where did that shot come from?!"
Ruby coughed while shielding her eyes from the massive tidal wave.
An IDC Behemoth class assault tank rolled onto the beach.
"Captain Diane, report your status,"
Commander Jordan Maroon called out with his voice amplified by the external speakers.
He was a graying officer with a glowing cybernetic eye.
"Commander Maroon, sir, we thought the command deck was lost in the drive core overload!"
Eva responded with a salute despite her bleeding head wound.
"It takes more than a spatial anomaly and a detonation to kill me, Captain,"
Maroon replied while locking his eyes onto N032.
"Captain, what the hell is that?"
Maroon order staring at the blood soaked ancient armor.
"He’s a survivor from the crash who single handedly kept Lifepod 7 intact, sir,"
Eva defended and stepped between them.
"He goes by N032 and his capabilities are highly classified,"
she added quickly.
"I have clearance level Omega, nothing is classified to me,"
Maroon scoffed while his cybernetic eye scanning the suit.
"That is not a soldier, Captain, that is a walking weapon,"
the Commander stated.
"Are we done measuring egos? Because the blood in the water is going to attract more of them,"
N032 warned as he casually rolled his right shoulder backward.
Maroon’s jaw tightened at the tactical logic before giving N032 one last suspicious glare and turning to his flanking marines.
"Load the survivors into the transport bays,"
Commander Maroon ordered.
"We are moving out to secure the crashed Aegis, because if its armory didn’t survive, we are going to die on this rock,"

Beyond this Chapter is Raw translations i haven’t fully fixed yet from Malay to English, so the grammar is wack >_<.
Also im making the pacing of Chapter 1 to 20 faster as there’s complaints of it being slow and repetitive for the world building or character development, so im reducing average word count from 1500 words to 600 words per Chapters to make newer readers speed Run to Chapter 20, hopefully.
Enjoy Reading :D
