With the red alarm blaring in their ears, Itran ("ī - Tren" (A word I came up with)) soldiers are scrambling to the Docking Station so they can evacuate their crumbling Cruiser Ship. One group, however, has a special data chip that could hold the plans to defeat the Deorii ("Dē - oar - ē" (Mixed Latin for "empire of gods")) Empire and, it's leader, Undra himself.
"Hurry! Load it!" Yells an Itran soldier. Several soldiers rush to load all of the supplies onto a Transport Ship, ready for departure.
"Hull breach. Hull breach." The Cruiser Ship's intercom repeats persistently.
"That's all of it!" An Itran recruit quickly replies.
"Are you sure?" A soldier asks worryingly
"It doesn't matter!" An Itran Captain yells. "We have what we need! Get out of here or we're ALL dead!"
The Transport Ship's exit ramp shuts as it comes off the floor of the Ship. With little but a second to spare, the Transport Ship exits from the Docking Station into space.
"I know we didn't get much, but at least we have THIS."
The Captain pulls out a data chip, containing information on the Deorii Empire and Undra.
"With this, we can defeat that bastard AND his Empire. Many troops gave their lives for this. We will NOT let it go to waste. But for now, come. We have won this round. Now, let us rest."
The Itran Captain opens the door at the front, and the soldiers walk from the Cargo Bay into the main hall, a narrow room which leads to areas such as the Cargo Bay, bedrooms, storage, mess hall, and cockpit. All the Itran soldiers take a breather in the main hall, but it is short lived.
"Warning. Warning. An unidentified life form is in the Ship. Warning. Warning. An unide-"
The intercom is suddenly cut off. All the Itran soldiers look to the intercom, confused. Suddenly, all the doors in the main hall slam shut, synchronized. Everybody suddenly jumps to their feet, guns in hand. The Captain rushes to the cockpit's door.
"What the hell?!? Open the doors!"
"It's not us! We can't control them!" Yells one of the Pilots.
The Captain desperately tried to open the door for several moments. The overhead lights start to flicker on and off until they finally shut off completely, turning on the emergency lights, which are placed in front of the cockpit's door, making the main hall dimly lit. The Captain still Yanks on the door, pulling with all of his might, when the ship starts softly rumbling. The Captain stops.
"Do you feel that?" An Itran soldier says, scared.
The rumbling starts shaking more violently towards the Cargo Bay.
"IT'S IN THE CARGO BAY!!! A FORMATION!!!" The Captain yells to his troops.
All of the Itran troops get into formation, with several soldiers against the wall, using it's indentions for cover, two in the center of the hall with Plasma Shields, and three in the back, with the Captain behind them, at the cockpit's door. This forms an "A" out of the Itran soldiers, fitting perfectly into the narrowed main hall. All eyes are on the Cargo Bay's door, quietly waiting. The Cargo Bay's door starts shaking more violently and violently until the pressure causes it to dent and crumble. With assertive force, the Cargo Bay door is ripped off into the Cargo Bay.
Not a single breath is heard as every Itran soldier is focused on what might be amongst them. One footstep is heard, with every soldier tightly gripping their guns in reaction, their looks intensifying. The Captain's face is calm though as more footsteps are heard, but these are not regular footsteps. These footsteps sound like a metal heel and foot calmly contacting the solid metal floor. The sound is deep and chilling: "Te-kung. Te-kung. Te-kung." The footsteps stop.
Out from the shadows, two feet are seen, but the shadows prevent anything else from being visible. These feet have a curved, boot-like shape with the color of a dimmed Chrome, softly reflecting the very soldiers in front of them. Moments later, a blade exiting it's sheath is heard from the smoke "Shiiing!" Except this blade did not come from a sheath; It came from the user's left arm, almost like the blade came out of the wrist, sliding into the user's left hand.
The blade floats there, as if nothing's even holding it, as a dark, DARK Red Aura surrounds the blade, emitting a deep, powerful tone. The Aura soon surrounds the being in the shadows, replacing them with a dim red light and fully revealing who the being is. All of the soldiers eyes widen and their hearts stopped, as the being in front of them... Was Undra...
Time stood still for a moment. There stood the very being, Undra, in that hallway, surrounded in Aura to the likes of which these troops have never seen before.
"Th-that Aura..." The Captain thought. "It's so strong... It's giving me goosebumps... I-I can FEEL his power... We're all going to die... No... I have to be brave, even if I'm going to die, I'll die with honor."
"KILL THIS SON OF A BITCH!!!" Yells the Captain.
While hesitant, the Itran troops quickly open fire upon Undra. Undra stands there for a second, letting all of the blasts deflect off of his body without a scratch. Undra eyes are filled with anger as he casualy walks towards the Itran soldiers. With a simple flick of his blade, Undra hits the closest soldier, slashing through his armor, leaving a massive gash in his chest.
One of the soldiers with a Plasma Shield Rushes Undra. Undra, still showing that the blasts aren't even phasing him, flicks at the shield, throwing it out of the soldiers hand. Undra follows up with another slash of his sword, slicing off the soldiers arm, head, and part of his chest. One of the Itran troops in the back pulls out a heavy blaster. She charges it as Undra kills the third and fourth soldiers.
"One clear shot..." She thinks to herself.
The second Plasma Shield soldier holds up his shield and, with all of his might, hits Undra with it. Undra is again unharmed and the hit doesn't even move him. Undra slightly amplifies the force as it rebounds back to the soldier, breaking his arms entirely. Undra quickly thrusts his blade through the Plasma Shield and into the soldiers chest. Undra leisurely kicks the Plasma Shield and soldier off of his blade. The Itran troops hits the floor, lifeless.
"Eat this." The Itran soldier dominantly states as she fires the heavy blaster.
The blast hits Undra, only for it to stop in midair at his chest.
"I almost felt that." Undra responds.
Undra then touches the blast, covering it in red Aura.
"Here's a taste of a REAL blast."
Undra sends the Aura covered blast back the the soldier. The blast is so strong that it vaporises the soldier and the heavy blaster. Undra then hits the seventh soldier in the chest, which blows his entire rib cage out the back of his body and splatters it all against the wall. The soldier drops to the floor, dead. The eighth soldier is paralyzed in fear as to what he just witnessed. Undra densely glares at him, which launches him through the wall. The Itran troop bounces off the mess hall tables and hits the back wall before collapsing to the floor.
The ninth soldier puts his blaster right between Undra's eyes and pulls the trigger. The blast bounces off Undra back into the gun, blowing it up along with the soldiers hand. The Itran troop screams in pain.
"I'll show you how it's done." Undra tells the ninth soldier.
Undra quickly exhales, sending a pressured shockwave between the soldiers eyes, blowing out the back of his head and slamming him into the wall.
The Captain worryingly looks at Undra as Undra picks him up by the neck, several feet off the floor.
"K-killing me will do nothing. Someone WILL come along and kill you! It's inevitable" The Captain tells Undra.
"Death's an old friend." Undra responds.
Undra then sends his Aura into the Captain's neck. The heat is so strong that it melts the Captain's entire body, leaving a red pile of mush and brown bones where he once was being held. Undra sees the data chip that the Captain was holding, but pays no mind to it. Undra then opens the storage room door and walks in, opens up a crate, and takes a hair accessory out of it.
"People should know better than to steal things." Undra says to himself.
"Especially if it's THIS."
Undra sets the hair accessory to his side and walks back into the main hall. He opens the cockpit's door and looks at the pilots.
"I expect you to report this back to your highest commanding officer. Tell them what will happen if they do this again."
"Y-y-yes sir." One of the pilots responds.
Undra then walks into the Cargo Bay, opened the exit ramp, and flies off into space. While flying, Undra looks to his side at the hair accessory.
"Now that I think about it, why is this so important to me. It's like I feel an attachment to this, but I don't know what the attachment is." Undra thinks to himself. "It's like something is telling me to keep it. But why?"
