"Try you?" The middle-age woman scoffed:
"You are just a Sky rank, and my soldiers are all grand Masters... Do you truly think this will end well with you fighting us?" She asked.
"You are the commander of the three eyes race... And also a heavenly five stage rank warrior." Nioh chuckled:
"Do you really think I am scared of you?" He asked.
The woman sighed: "Your parents---"
"---Don't you dare mention my parents with that smelly mouth of yours!!" He spat out.
CLICK!!
The plasma guns instantly aimed at him:
"How dare you disrespect the commander?!" The figure behind the woman, armed with a glowing sword hissed out.
"Hold your ground."
The commander stated, and continued:
"I know your parents and their death was painful, I know how you feel, but you don't have to put the blame on us... The Wendigos are also responsible for it."
"Wendigos? You fools left them to die!! My father and mother fought beside you, Jade!! But you all left them behind!!!" He yelled in rage.
Jade exhaled, and tapped on the object on her chest... Her helmet rose from her armor and concealed her face:
"As a friend, I am deeply sorry for your parents, but as a commander... I must think about the future of our empire... Hand over the artifact or face the judgement under my blade." She said.
With her words, the nine behind her got ready to act.
"Hekhekhekhek...."
"....?"
The group were stunned, they turned their heads around their surroundings, searching for the creature, which made the sound.
"Hekhekhekhekhek!"
Jade spun her elite class sword, and turned around:
"Wendigos." She muttered coldly.
BOOOOOOM!!
More than twenty Wendigos burst out from the ground, their eight feet body towering before them.
"Hold Nioh... Rest of you, come with me!"
She spun her sword and shot towards the wendigos.
"GRAAAAA!!!"
The thirty bloodthirsty wendigos let out roars, and shot forward.
Jade leaped into the air, and smashed down on the wendigos, instantly separating the heads of two... She landed on her feet, and lunged at the others.
'I need to escape with her distracted.' Nioh thought, moving his gaze around the place, the artifact clenched in his hand.
"Hand it over kid!" One of the figures said walking towards him.
"You are still alive because the commander wants you alive... Don't force our hands!" Another hissed.
Nioh stared at the two before him and smirked:
"Catch me if you can!"
He turned around and shot forward... Running with all his strength.
The group were on the desert, so hiding wasn't an option, he can only try to outrun two grandmasters with his sky 3 stage rank... Which is clearly impossible.
"Stop!!"
The two exclaimed in suprise and shot towards him, only to be intercepted by a wendigo which burst out from the sand before them.
"GRAAAAAA!!!!"
It yet out an enraged shriek.
"Fuck! A master stage Wendigo!"
A soldier spat out coming to a halt, and lunged towards it.
"Get the artifact!" He yelled.
The second nodded, and shot towards the running Nioh.
"Hand it over kid!!" He spat out, quickly covering the distance between them.
"Shit!!"
Nioh cussed, pushing himself to his limit: "You will never have this!!"
WHOOSH!!!
".....??"
Nioh was stunned as a huge dark shadow blocked the sun... He raised his head to the sky, only to see a gigantic spaceship above him.
"This?"
A beam of light shot down, grabbed him and forced him into the spaceship.
".....??"
The soldier stopped on track, staring as the spaceship shot forward like lightning, disappearing from the planet with Nioh.

BAM!!
The last Wendigo dropped to the ground dead, its head rolling on the sand:
Jade stood before the corpses of the creatures, and slowly removed the helmet from her face, her eyes ice-cold:
"Whoever you are... You just became the enemy of the three eyes empire." She muttered with pure killing intent.
"Commander!"
"I saw it." She kept her sword, and raised her wrist then tapped on the wristwatch on it.
WHOOSH!
A holographic screen appeared before them, and a woman with three eyes, and a crown on her head appeared on it.
"Any progress?" She asked.
"It seems Nioh have helpers... powerful helpers." Jade reported.
"Meaning?" The tone of the queen changed.
"A royal starship took him away."
"Royal starship?! Only the rulers of each race can afford it, and it won't be sold to just anyone? Do you think a race wants to go against us?"
Jade was silent, and after some thought, she shook her head:
"It can't be... The artifact have been top secret, they couldn't have known about it, unless..." Her face turned cold:
"We have a spy in the castle." She said, while her ten guards looked at one another, their expressions hidden behind their helmets.
The Queen nodded, and gave a new order:
"Come back, and find a way to locate that Royal starship! We must get the artifact back... I will look for the spies!"
"Yes!"
Jade nodded and tapped on the wristwatch, then raised her gaze to the sky:
"You finally succeeded in being the number one enemy of your race."
"GRAAAAAAA!!!"
"Commander! The Wendigos!"
Jade turned her head to the distance, seeing more than a hundred Wendigos rushing towards them.
"One day, I will personally destroy this planet."
She muttered and with a twirl of her finger, the spaceships unleashed beam of lights just like the starship, taking them inside.
Jade's cold gaze was fixed on the horde of Wendigos, as she floated into the air and entered the spaceship, which turned around and flew away from the planet.

[In the battle Spaceship.]
Jade exhaled, and walked towards her seat, and sat on it:
'Sorry my friend, but your son made his decision... There is nothing I can do about it.'
"Your command Commander?" The head pilot asked, turning back at her.
"Send the other ship for investigation... We are returning to the empire."
The two pilots in her ship nodded, and focused on the controls.
"Whoever you are... Wait for me. I will personally have your head." She vowed with clenched fists.
