Great Forest, 1st Foreign Airborne Regiment, Greater Pomelian Empire
October 13 2030, Wednesday, 1508H (3:08PM)
When the platoon arrives at the site, a translucent bubble covers a large potion of the forest and the closer they near the site the stronger their electronic equipment malfunctions so they step up a perimeter 200 Meters away from it and prevent anyone from entering, "Yo! Arthur! Are you alright? You look like holding your shit!" A Lance Corporal with an orange hair and green olive eyes, has large body build and 6.5ft tall "Yes Lance Corporal Everson" Alexander answered quickly then the LCpl points at the thick vegetation "If you want to shit that badly, make sure you dont leave any traces" Then Everson leaves to check on the other members or to annoy them to death
'Why the hell i'm hearing voices!? I'm finally going insane!' Alexanders internally panics as the voices on his head kept calling him over and over again in an unknown language, it start the moment they step foot near the Exclusion Site and since then it continuously pestering him like a mosquito during a sleep, even he wanted to request help the platoon will only mocking him so he only grits this teeth and hope they won't be long at this cursed place
[2 Hours Later]
Despite the high command words that the experts are coming as soon as possible, even one of them never arrives yet "Where the fuck are they?" Alexander irritably asked as the voices kept getting stronger at each hour passby "Apparently some of those sob scientist requested to carry their laboratories and their special devices thus delaying their arrival" Amari spokes as he sitting under the tree and munching on a protein bar "You okay man? You kinda weird after coming at this place" Amari concerned as he observed Alexander sudden changes on his behavior "What you mean weird?" Alexander turns at his friend waiting for an answer "When we arrived, you always looked irritated for some reason and absent-minded specially during patrols at the perimeter, let me ask you again are you okay?"
Amari asked once more, but as Alexander answers him an AT-30 Helicopter hovered just five meters away from their position "The guests finally arrived, let's go" The former tells his comrade as they going to met the group, when they arrived at the landing zone all of the platoon members are gathering there "Do you think there's a hot scientist babe on coming here?" LCpl Everson asked lustfully, then an airman open the side door where several old man climbing out the aircraft then four amred individuals with sleek fully enclosed black armored suit carrying an advance weaponry that they never seen before "Who are they Sergeant?" Alexander asked Sergeant Winters then whispers at him "Those are the Phantoms"
Those words sends chills to Alexander's spine after hearing it 'Damn! Never thought that I can meet them', he heard several stories about them being the emperor's bodyguards and accomplishment in the world of covert operations 'Why the hell they sending his majesty personal protectors in a mission like this?' He furrows his eyebrows as he contemplates even his own mind are still bombarded by those voices but the answer he was looking step down from the helicopter along with a person identical to her, crimson and bright blonde hair (hair heterochromia), and beautiful deep bloodred eyes "Attention!" Lieutenant Morris hurriedly ordered as the platoon stands in a attention "Salute!" The platoon raised their right hand and salute
"As you were legionnaires" The left side orders in a cold voice as the platoon returns to their last posture "Thank you for the hard work! And please we didn't come here as a princesses but as a simple regular scientists!" A cheerful and charming voice from the right side spokes thus making some of them already fallen on her charms "Forgive me for asking your majesties, but why are the two of you here? This is a extremely dangerous place to be at" Lieutenant Morris formally spoke at the two where the left one coldy chastised the officer "Just like Masha said earlier we come here as a scientist so referred to us as Doctor Masha and Alya Makarov" Then finally answers the question "As for your question, we wanted to personally observed the anomaly so that we can understand and study it accurately.compare to a wireless transmission beside his majesty provided us his best Phantoms in our disposal for protection" Doctor Alya explained at Lieutenant Morris where he can't but to nod
"I understand Doctor" Lieutenant Morris sighed before calling to Bravo Squad "Bravo Squad, front and center now!" Then Alexander's squad moves and form a straight line "I'm attaching Bravo Squad as your additional protective detail, Please meet Sergeant Aldrian Winters Squad Leader of the squad..." As Lieutenant Morris introduce the squad to the doctors Alexander is fighting within himself 'My head fucking hurts!' He continuesly grits his teeth and fighting to stand up straight until they reach him "Lastly the squad marksman Private First Class Arthur Morgan" Where the latter salutes "Are you okay Private? You don't look so good" Doctor Masha concerned as he was sweating a lot and extreme dizzy but just as he was going to answers, a strong headache followed by a shouting voice on his head finally making him collapse to the ground and as Alexander slowly losing his consciousness he finally heard a word from the voices from his head that he can understood which carries a tremendous amount of malice behind that word "Death"
"Medic!" Lieutenant Morris shouts as the platoon medics rushes at Alexander where they stabilize him and moves him on a safe spot as they wait for medivac (Medical Evacuation), suddenly Alexander found himself standing on a battlefield "What the hell happened to me and how do I get here?" He pondered to himself as observing hundreds of thousands of medieval soldiers attacking a single person clad in a black armor "Kill the black knight at all cost!" Knight Commander shouts as they rushed towards their enemy without regards of their own lives then in a blink of an eye the black knight draws it's sword then suddenly all of it's enemies vanished like someone deleted a photo in an document, no remains not even a drop of blood can be recovered
"What an absurd power that is" Alexander can't help but mutters then the black knight locked it's gaze at the former and release it's helmet revealing a brown hair and eyes same as him but older "Looks like the day of our reckoning have finally arrived" The older man spoke mysteriously as he walks towards him "Despite trying to erase our existence for thousand of years yet here you are...." Then he smiles "My descendant" , Alexander was shocked beyond relief after hearing the man's words "Me, your descendant!? What chickenshit are you spouting old man?" Alexander retorts 'As far as I know our family came from a wealthy merchant nobles before the families downfall'
"So that's what those fucking traitors tell you about the origin of Lancelot Household? Those scoundrels!" The man was frustrated but can only sighed in the end "Come on boy walk with me" The man told to Alexander and immediate starts walking "For your information old man, I'm already eighteen!" Alexander begrudgingly follows the older man to an open field, "Originally I planned to let the Null Energy kills you" The man plainly said to Alexander thus shocking the latter before adding "For whatever reason it didn't kill you...yet, Null Energy is not only the most dangerous, mysterious magical energy in the universe but also the most possessive in nature if it finds an perfect wielder such as yourself" The man pauses to let such information to synced in before continuing
"It kills whoever rejects it's power, trust me even a perfect wielder such as me and yourself died, hell I can't even manage to hold myself for a minute without dying in a horrific way, much more surving such onslaught for hours" Then suddenly turn at Alexander as the world slowly breaks apart "The Null must have valued you so much despite rejecting its calls, but we don't have such time and I can't answer your questions because the Null are getting much restless every minute so Alexander.." The older man look at the latter with such seriousness that Alexander gulped "If you want to live and find your little sister cure, you must go to the underground chamber of the temple and absorb it's energy at all cost! And loot it's entirely treasury if you can! Good luck brat! Oh my name is Leonardo of the House Lancelot! You better not forget it!"
Then suddenly he wakes up in a stretcher alone and his headache are gone then a information flooded his mind at the location of the temple result in a headache once again before fading away, "I must find the temple, this is my chance to cure Alexandria once and for all!" Then without looking back he equipped his gear and weapons without knowing that the rest of his platoon are already exploring the temple inside the Exclusion Site.
