"Come on, you piggy! Use those tendrils of yours!" Heios exclaimed with intense laughter as he rode Jasper like a surfboard. They were heading straight towards the capital with the speed of a comet. The impact crater they left behind was deep enough to create a massive sinkhole. "Piggy...?" Jasper questioned, his tendrils propelling them forward at an incredible velocity. "I only did this so we could get there faster, you Venusian brute." They had a simple plan: get in, eliminate Merviogogan, and get out. They had no time to waste on the local wildlife or Soul-Core's forces, that was Avu's job to handle. Their mission was clear and direct, they were the U.O.K, the elite special forces of Dark Intrinium, and they would not fail. Like, come on. A force like Avu and Aria could easily crush those Soul-Core warriors. They are pathetic. Nothing but pathetic. Pathetic like a pack of worms. They could try and mobilize all of their Soul-Core forces. Avu could still beat them with ease. He is a one man army and is not a force to be reckoned with. He is the First Follower for a reason. Anyone who dared to tread strongly against him has learned the hard way why he alone holds such a terrifying title within the Uprising of Kytron. His presence alone silences battlefields, and his reputation was built from the shackles of his own planet, built to the point of being deemed almost equal to the late Serith Arannis, those who have witnessed his power were either dealt a bad hand, or lived to tell the tale of it. If there was anyone people could call Devil Incarnate, it would undoubtedly be Avu Fujimara. As Heios and Jasper near the capital, they could see its gleaming spires and opulent architecture. With each step, Heios and Jasper's confidence started to break down. That city isn't puny like they hoped it would be. At first glance, it seemed like a town, but those spires grew larger the closer they got to the city. Armada Capital... A glory. It looked like a futuristic utopia. The buildings looked like they were made of pure crystal, the streets were paved with marble, and the sky was filled with holographic advertisements for luxury goods. Even if they were just killing one politician, they couldn't help but feel like they were invading a paradise. But that was the point, wasn't it? To bring this paradise to its knees and show it the true meaning of suffering. To show the universe that no matter how wealthy or powerful you are, Dark Intrinium would always be there to knock on your door. "How are we ever going to find this fucking guy!?" Heios yelled, his voice echoing through the jungle, "This place is huge!" "Could we kill a few more people other than him so I can take them with me for my projects? I'm starting to run low." "I told you to use that filthy Testharian albino monkey as one!" This could only be a racist reference to Satono Eria. Heios couldn't care less about her well-being. He had no right to be racist towards an exiled Testharian. He was an exiled Venusian himself. "I would have, but Avu seems to have a liking for her. He would be pissed if I took away his new pet," Jasper replied, his tendrils thrashing about in the air. "Besides, I already decided on who to get.” "And that is?" "Won't tell you! It's a secret!" Heios scoffed. He never really liked Jasper's hobbies. In his opinion, making dolls out of dead bodies was a sick and twisted way to pass the time. But then again, he was a Venusian brute who enjoyed nothing more than crushing his enemies with his bare hands. Who was he to judge? I guess even evil has a limit to accept how twisted someone can be. Behind Heios and Jasper was Mikael Asger, who blitzed through trees and used his spear as a vault to cross over any obstacles. He was pretty quick, as all Weapon-Types could be. Mikael has been tailing them for some time, having spotted them in a nearby deforested area. Soul-Residue really is a heck of a thing to sense on a planet lacking Souls. He stabilized Soul-Energy into
