Chapter 11 - PART 11 : War at the door step

 He gazed at the might of the Sojourner, and still couldn't believe the fact that the Sojourner was standing right in front of him. He stood up and approached him, while the Sojourner is still standing in a spot steering at the freak being that stands before him.

 The moment Aiden tried to touch him, the Sojourner grabbed his hand and twisted it backward, causing Aiden to scream out in pain. Then the second High End, who has been watching them for a while now, charged towards the Sojourner in speed, but the Sojourner charged towards him with the same amount of speed and held his neck, smashed him on the metallic floor causing a big dent on the metallic floor.

 The High End transformed his physical shape to a larger being about nine feet tall, and then he charged towards the Sojourner, the Sojourner made a grin and charged towards him.

 " Large sizes only make you an obvious target." the Sojourner said as he charged towards High End with green flames burning from both of his hands.

 The High End stretched an arm with a punch out in speed but the Sojourner opened a portal that the first went through inside then appeared behind the High End's forehead— which hit him. Causing him to stagger back as a result of losing his balance.

 " Giving you a dose of your own medicine" the Sojourner threw several fire balls at the High End which hitted him and caused the atmosphere to be foggy as a result of the smoke of the blast aftermath.

 Aiden sat in the background watching the scene of the battle without making a move, almost like a statue. The fear and the surprise he got from seeing this tied him down. He was overwhelmed with the sight of the battle.

 While the battle between the Sojourner and the High End is going on, the battle between the strange adversary unfolds. Most of the High Ends at the scene are dead, only four survivors left, Jane, Fin, Empress and an Ice using High End named Glacier. The creature is yet to be seen, and these High Ends are almost at their limits.

 The Empress is seen to have created an armor for herself as a means of protection from the mysterious adversary. Jane is seen creating a weapon out of wind and she forms two swords with the wind. She then set for battle, one could tell she is ready for any attack at the moment, but she was not the goal, the mysterious adversary went after Empress who is always perceptive.

 The Empress did a back flip and then she swung her sword at the air which clashed with another unseen metal in the thin air. Just as she landed, a kick hit her cheek and she was sent at the wall, causing a big crack on it. She tried not to lose focus, instantly, she threw several daggers at the direction in which she got kicked. But they were all canceled out by another metal.

 " He is using a sword " she silently confirms the name of the weapon that the adversary is using. Then she created an axe from nowhere and threw it in that same direction, and it turns out the adversary has left the position.

 While Jane was watching this scenario unfold, a hand held her from the behind, on the neck. Then threw her against the wall and she hit her head against the wall, causing her to fall flat on the floor, as she struggled in pain.

 Meanwhile, at the Order Organization. Dextar is seen speaking with some Agents, including Andrew.

 "Something we've never witnessed in a very long time, there is a war going on in Vormirem " Dexter announced as he stood before the Agents.

 

 " And one more thing for you all to take note of, is the fact that Sojourner has been abducted by the High Ends, which is to remind us that regardless of whatever is going on in Vormirem, we are still powerless against them. The latest footage about the Sojourner encounter with Fin just proved that" Andrew added, his voice dropping to a sober pitch.

 "Gentle men, but that doesn't mean our days of battle are over, Fin is seen crash landing on the soil of Asia, a few minutes ago. And the satellite just shows that there has been no sign of movement from him, ever since then. We need to drill him in for experiment and research!" Dexter continued with a commanding tone.

 " Each one of you all should take the armies under you, to surround the Asian perimeter and the neighboring Zones, in case things go south. And don't expect survival, cause we all know who Fin is " Dexter added as he dropped a file on the table.

 " If we could contain Fin, then believe it, we are a step closer to the victory of this battle." Andrew stated silently.

 "And remember what is at stake, if we fail, Zephyron finds out about the Order Organization and we have no means to protect ourselves from him. I'm sure you all know what that means. Dexter added.

 " Sir… Even if we are able to bring in Fin, we will still be compromising our secret as the Order Organization. " A female amongst the Agents asked a question.

 "Target is Fin, formerly a Celestial End. Current status: demoted, vulnerable. Success means his disappearance is written off as desertion. A clean op. Failure means our cover is burned, and our identities are handed to the Vormirem. The risk is containment only." Dexter analyzed the course of operation for her which also meant for everyone to take note of.

 After a few hours of briefing and planning, the Agents matched out with their men. In armor tanks that are clearly more advanced than a normal armor tank. While some military vehicles are seen too, some helicopters are also seen flying in the air, a total of six helicopters. Inside one of the military vehicles, Andrew is seen speaking to one of the Agent directors.

 " Trying to capture a Celestial End, if you ask me, this is probably the bravest move we've made or the most desperate and silly move we'll be making" Andrew remarks scornfully.

*** Fin is seen trying to stand up in the midst of a destroyed building. Then he noticed he was already outside Vormirem. Which seems to surprise him. He then heard the voice of some vehicles heading towards him, and in seconds, he was surrounded by military armies. He then chuckles as he stands there wondering what's going on.

 "Fin, former Celestial End of Zephyron. By authority of The Order Organization, you are ordered to stand down. Comply, and this ends peacefully. Resist, and you will be neutralized." a voice came from a speaker of one of the helicopters.

 " Boy, I'm insulted, you all came here to abduct me? Well then, I hope you all are prepared, cause this is going to be a very long day " Fin responded with a frown on his face and his body began to glow with red. The atmosphere began to overheat.

 Two missiles locked onto his signal, their purpose singular and absolute. But the space between intent and impact became their end. Before they could fulfill their violent will, they fractured, disintegrating into motes of light before they could touch him.

 Fin engaged hostile aircraft with a projectile composed of condensed thermal energy. The projectile resulted in immediate structural failure and catastrophic detonation of the aircraft.

 " You have a long day ahead of you, if this is all you've got to put me down" Fin said as he aimed for another helicopter….
