Seeing his son get knocked through a wall, Mamon could no longer hold back his anger. "How dare you? Seize her! I want her in shackles", his voice boomed angrily as he commanded his generals who immediately drew their own weapons to attack.
"Heed my warning…your days are numbered", she declared as she was surrounded by the generals who were poised to strike. "Forgive us princess but you need to be restrained", a general said as they lunged towards her.
Judicara twirled her sword, the tip pointing downwards, and shouted, "Azzana!!". She then plunged her sword forcefully into the marble floor sending out a wave of power that sent the generals, who were unable to anticipate and defend themselves, flying several meters back.
Without giving them any chance to get their bearings, she raised her hands and shouted, "Motag!!". "Stop her!!" Mamon shouted as her body glowed faintly before suddenly teleporting out of the room.
"Damn it!!" Mamon shouted as he smashed the arm rest of his stone carved throne. "Sound the alarm! Find and capture her! Make sure she does not escape!" he commanded his generals who quickly recovered and stormed out of the room. Mamon then turned and gazed upon his still unconscious son. "Pathetic", he mumbled before rising to his feet and walking purposefully out of the throne room.
As he walked down the hallway, the alarm rung out as he had ordered but before he could exit the palace, a few guards burst through the door and knelt before him. "Forgive us Lord, the princess is trying to escape with one of the warships", one of the guards informed him.
"What!! Fools!! Stop her before she takes off! We can't let her leave the planet" Mamon shouted as they all rushed out towards the hangers. Judicara had taken over one of the A-Class warships and before they could reach her, she launched the ship off the ground.
Flying a few hundred meters off the surface of the planet, she turned the ship to face the planet and without any hesitation, opened fire. She rained fire upon the surface, specifically targeting as many warships and battle ships as possible, aiming to cut down her father's full fighting force…or at least buy more time.
The soldiers returned fire as some attempted to get to their ships to pursue her but she strategically targeted the ships nearest to the soldiers after casting a defensive barrier around her ship. She fired every missile she had stocked on her ship until all her weapon reserves were empty.
Seeing, the complete devastation she wrought, she snorted in satisfaction. Most of the smaller-class ships had been destroyed beyond repair whiles the larger-class ships had received damages that could possibly set complete repairs back by a few weeks making sure the invasion is halted for a time.
She turned the ship once again as she prepared the hyper drives for light speed travel. Seeing his daughter's attempt to escape, Mamon decided to launch an attack of his own. He charged a large ball of energy in his hands and mercilessly launched it towards Judicara's ship.
Just as the attack reached the ship, the hyper drives were fully charged and the ship shot off towards space at light speed leaving the explosion of Mamon's attack in her wake. "Don't think you can escape me", Mamon said with a smirk before turning to one of his men. "You know what to do", he said to the soldier who nodded in acknowledgement and run off.
"Have fun in the afterlife my wayward daughter", he said with a snicker before turning to return to the castle.
....
Within the few weeks since the army was brought in, all possible modifications and enhancements were made on the weapons and the soldiers were given brief training on how to handle this equipment.
On the other side, the scientists, engineers and researchers had successfully conceptualized the probe designs and had successfully built a few dozen of them. Each probe stood at a height of five meters with a width of four meters.
They were loaded with all kinds of surveillance equipment connected to a newly upgraded receiver system that allows Lisia to establish and maintain a strong connection between the probe and their base no matter how far they were from Earth.
They were also loaded with all types of upgraded long range weapons that were connected to a tracking software that made sure the weapons never missed. A cloaking mechanism was also installed to ensure that the probes lasted in combat as long as possible.
After the construction was done, an inspection was done by all the present parties to ensure there were no design errors.
...….
Two days after this inspection, the Colonel arrived at the base with an astoundingly tall woman. She stood two heads taller than the colonel at a height of seven feet tall. She had a strong and athletic body; comparable to the warriors from the island of Chinchkachkuke.
She was dressed in a skin tight suit, carrying along with her, a specially designed compound bow that was almost as tall as she was, with double edged blades on each end. In a quiver slung around her side were equally specially designed arrows that were almost as long as ballista arrows. The arrows were categorized based on their purposes with some used as grabbling hooks while majority were meant for attacking. A few had specific purposes that could not be identified at face value.
"This is Cherida Anson", the colonel said gesturing towards the lady who stood next to him and bowed her head in acknowledgement. "She is a princess of the Amocariah tribe hidden deep in the heart of the Amazon rain forest. She was expelled from her tribe when she was just a child for certain reasons and has been in the custody of my family ever since".
"She currently holds the title of the best archer in the country…maybe the world and has agreed to lend her aid to the Guardians", the colonel introduced. "It's a pleasure to have you join us", Samuel said before introducing the others.
Seeking to witness her skill first hand, they decided to administer a simple accuracy test. Samuel grabbed a slab of wood, made a cross in the center with his claw. "Try to nail the center of the cross", Samuel said showing her the slab.
"Alright!" Cherida said before drawing a plain arrow and knocking it against the bow before taking a long breath. When she was ready, she gave the signal to Samuel who tossed the slab almost a thousand meters ahead.
She quickly drew the bow string and in a split second, let the spear-like arrow loose. The shockwave behind the arrows launch proved just how powerful the shot was.
The arrow flew through the sky, quickly covering the over one-thousand-meter distance, approaching the slab and nailing it to a tree in the distance. The group couldn't help but applaud in awe of her sill.
Edward zoomed towards the tree to retrieve the arrow but his face paled in shock after freeing it. He turned and returned to the group holding the pierced slab for all to see. Piercing dead center of the cross Samuel made with his claw was not just the arrow, but a fly that had been clipped as the arrow travelled; and surprisingly enough, the fly was still alive.
With such undeniable proof, they could only marvel at her skill. Samuel walked up to her and held a clawed hand to her for a handshake and she took it. "Welcome to the Guardians", he welcomed her with a smile. "Thank you. I look forward to working with you", she replied with a smile of her own.
