Omar saw the creature running through the trees in front of him, moving away, so he chased after it quickly. He located it using the helmet’s screen, which showed a circle pointing to it so he could easily find its location and not lose it amidst the trees and darkness. The creature noticed Omar chasing it persistently, so it increased its speed and began to throw its roots onto the branches of the trees to give it a big push. At first, Omar thought it was flying in front of him, but then he noticed the roots it was using for rapid movement between the trees. He increased his speed so as not to lose it and began to use the high jump feature of the super-suit. He began to jump forward three meters high and ten meters forward, and he swung his sword to cut the branches of the trees and the obstacles that were in his path. He began to get closer to his prey in this way. When there were a few meters between them, they both came out into another wide open space. As soon as Omar came out of the clearing, he found himself colliding with something and falling to the ground. He didn’t know what had happened, but he noticed five creatures standing around him, looking at him with expressions of anger and wrath. He felt that this was his end, so he closed his eyes and put his hand on his face in a desperate attempt to defend himself. But after a few seconds, he found himself tied up with some roots, but he was not killed. He knew at once that he would be taken hostage by these strange things. They stood him on his feet, his bonds tightened well so he would not try to escape, and they pushed him in front of them to walk. He obeyed their command, but he sent a distress message to his comrades, whispering, "My friends... I have been captured... by these creatures... please rescue me."

"Omar, you fool, where are you?"
"I don’t know... I really don’t know... But if you follow the path I took straight ahead without turning at all, you will find a wide open space... and there they caught me... But be careful... because they ambushed me... It’s a trap."
"We’re coming to you right away... and don’t you dare do something like that alone again."
"Alright, I’m sorry... Now I’m going to hang up with you before they hear my voice... Wait, I remembered something... follow my signal."
"That’s right... how did I not think of something like that? I’ll follow your signal... hang on for a bit."
Omar hung up the line and continued to walk with the strange creatures, his feet trembling with fear, for he did not know what awaited him. And he had also killed one of them, so they would surely kill him sooner or later. One of the creatures began to speak in a strange, harsh-voiced language with the other creatures, and the other creatures began to answer him, and everyone gave their opinion. Omar did not understand this strange language, so he tried to analyze it through the super-suit, but the analysis showed him that it was a language of unknown identity. He felt frustrated and panicked, but this was what he had expected. But the question that kept jumping into his mind relentlessly was: How did these creatures come to their planet? And what had happened to the planet? It had completely changed and did not look like the planet they were used to. It was like a completely different place, as if a strange dimension had opened in spacetime and these creatures of unknown identity and these strange trees and astonishing physical phenomena had entered it.
Omar slowed down a little without realizing it as he was lost in his thoughts. One of the creatures pushed him to walk faster, growling some words that he did not understand. After a few steps, Omar wondered if his comrades were close to arriving or not, but in reality, he did not know that they would never reach him, because they were facing something much more dangerous.
After Li Kang hung up with Omar, he went to tell everyone what had happened to him, and that they had to follow him to save him from the clutches of these frightening things. Five men volunteered with him to save their comrade, while the rest decided to wait for their return in this square until they completed their mission of searching for the captain. Li Kang agreed to their proposal, and before he and his men could move, a barrage of projectiles that were flying in the sky in the moonlight headed toward them. The soldiers became tense and tried to flee the imminent death, but it was too late. The rockets hit the square, and a huge explosion resounded, leaving nothing it came upon but as if it were dust. The flames began to rise into the sky, but the super-suit did its duty this time as well. The soldiers stood up, having suffered major injuries, and parts of the suit were shattered by the explosion. Its cells began to regenerate again, but this would take some time until it returned to how it was.
The soldiers began to help each other until they had gathered again outside the blast zone. There were ten soldiers and the strange creature with them. When they saw this surprise attack, they quickly went to the aid of their comrades, but they asked one of them to stay with the creature, which was tied with strong ropes. He agreed to this offer, because it would keep him away from danger, but fear also played a large part in staying with this strange thing.
The soldiers went and began to treat the wounded, and some soldiers began to scan the area in search of the source of these projectiles. One of the soldiers mumbled in terror, "My friends... there are huge numbers of soldiers... moving in the forest... they must be..."
And before he could finish his sentence, one of the wounded soldiers interrupted him, saying with tension, "Wait! Do you hear that? There’s something coming from the sky!"
