Chapter 5.1: First Squad's Arresting

As more and more people were detained and moved to an open area. The soldiers had to organize change in their approached again. While the four others had to search, the remaining others had to watch the crowd.

Thanks to some of them who told other's food seller identity, the operation was quicker than expected.

Ett, Tiva, Tre and Fyra walked through the floor of each apartment. They knocked and searched every room regularly. Most of them didn't resist anymore as they had seen all various of scene outside from their window.

As long they're not a food merchant and doesn't show any amount of food. They'll be safe.

The soldiers was so strict, even a piece of biscuits could gave them a reason to detained them. They we're literally treating this like Anti Drug Operation.

At one room of an apartment, a familiar man opened the door.

" Sir?"

" Allowed us to search your room, and ask you some questions.." Fyra asked as Tre went inside.

" No, I'm not.."

When Tre entered, he saw that there was a lot of fierce looking people. The people glared at him with hostility.

Tre simply stood and stared them back as he waited for Frya to give him the signal.

" Thank you for your cooperation sir." When Frya signal him, he went out and disappeared with Frya as they went downstairs.

" Anytime. " He said as he closed the door after he made sure the duo went away.

But after he closed his door, four soldier appeared again. But this time, they were combat ready. They were about to move at other place when they were given a mission.

[ Suspect found. Arrest them, killing is authorized if they resist.]

Aaron gave them the mission when he saw the person opening the door. Fortunately, he could watched them from afar through the apartments window.

Counting number with fingers, at three Tiva shot the door knob and Ett activated a shield that cover his whole body as he entered.

Blast!

Bzzz!

***

A moment ago, inside the room. The various type of creature inside laughed happily as the soldier went away.

" Hahaha"

" Man, I'm scared for nothing!"

" Sadly, he wore a helmet. If not we could have seen his face as we glare them!"

" Bruh, they were nothing more than some kingdom's dog."

" But that soldier at the door definitely a girl.. argh!! I had never conquer such woman before!"

" Quiet!" The man who opened the door silenced them as he peek at the window, shaped in square hole.

He sat on the sofa as he wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand.

" Did you hide the goods well?" He question them as leaned back comfortably.

" No worry boss Pa, we had moved the goods away long before them here" It was rather unknown wether the goods they meant was the foods or other things.

Pa nodded then looked at the burly man with wounds.

" Crowl, Did Kanan found anything of that two rats?"

Crawl nodded gravely as he answered with respect.

" Just as you already know, the girl was just a scavenger but she had a quite exceptional combat prowess. While the other man.. chief couldn't find his identity but he could guess that he's from.." At the last sentence, he pointed his finger upstair.

If this was a normal world, they would have thought he meant heaven.

" Then the soldier must've been dispatched here because of him." Pa face turned sour. But whenever he thought of that gems. He couldn't stop licking his saliva.

" They-"

Blast!!

Bzzz!

As the door was blasted opened, a soldier with energy shield entered the room. The other followed behind him and aimed at them.

" Hands on the air!" The distorted voice filled the silent room.

Everyone was staring at each other as they're still trying to register the situation into their brain.

Pew!

Pew! Pew! Pew!

When one of them fire toward the soldier, the other followed suit. One of the soldier activated another shield and the other took covered behind them.

They didn't returned fire yet but made some hand gestures to each other. Then they released the rifle they were holding and hold a finger behind their ear.

Pew! Pew! Pew!

Pew! Pew! Pew!

They fired endlessly as they attempted to exhausted the shield's power. They knew they messed up already the moment the soldiers stormed in. The thought of being hunt by a military was beyond their worries currently.

' There's those person, he will help us.' All of them silently thought of that mysterious person they put hope on.

When the shield blinked, indicating the power was exhausted, they beam in excitement. But the soldier behind readied their shield and walked with hump backs to the front.

They frowned instantly.

' Wouldn't that produce the same result?'

But at this moment, Alpha calmed voice could be heard.

" Flash In 2 " , The soldiers released their fingers and gripped their rifle in rhythm.

The next 2 second, a white light temporarily blinded everyone. Their sight become fuzzy as they eyes lose stability for some time in adjusting to the sudden change of brightness.

All the soldier approached them with a blinding torch light from their helmet. They knocked them out before tying them up.

As Aaron had assigned and created the first squad to be the galaxy's first special division name 'Space & Amphibious Warfare Assault' , all their gadget were fit to battle in dark and bright environment not excluding even underwater.

Though, it's not supposed to be blinding. They had adjusted the light intensity to the max. With this, they could arrested them without harming them using weaponry.

Ett thought, if they had to resort in using the blaster rifle in dealing with some lowly thugs. Then, they wouldn't have the right to be in the special division, SAWA.

Aaron frowned at first when he saw they hold back from attacking but chuckled when he saw the rest.

' They're quite smart..'

Although he created such division, he wasn't a soldier in the past to be so good in adapt and improvised strategy. But at least right now he was learning slowly.

***

Whoosh!

A gust of wind appeared as an expensive TSI jet landed on the open field not far from the detained people.

When the hatch opened, Aaron in dark violet military attires unlike the soldiers came out. Seeing he had a golden stripes and design at various part of his suit, excluding the possibility of him being a royal member. Everyone thought, he was some high ranking officer.

As he walked, few noticed that the end of his long coat that extended to below the ankle was drag along the ground. Instantly dirtying the end but he doesn't seem to mind it.

Ett approached him with a salute before reporting all the situation in Craestan. With this, everyone assumed them as a military of a nation from 6 to 9 zone which made them more confused.

' What's military from that zone doing here?' They all thought.

" Ahem.." Aaron turned on the mask and the sound of breathing in oxygen could be heard.

Aaron suspicion was confirmed that he suffered an abnormal lung damage when he took a quick run back at the ship. He could also breathes without a mask, but that time doesn't exceed 12 hour.

If he did an intense activity that made his breathing rapid, it will be half a hour for the range of time for him to breath without mask.

" Pardoned us for our rudeness, we just want to find people who had been doing some drug trafficking but disguised themselves as a merchant.. Since we had already found them. You all are now dismiss."

He explained and dismissed them in a husky distorted voice. It was all made up excuse, little did he knew he was right about some of it.

At first, they were hesitant to walk away. When they realized they were really freed and about to move. Aaron stopped them again

But before they could cursed him in their heart. Aaron voice made them beam with excitement and confusion.

" Since you all sell foods.. snack, fruits.. anything of the sort.. if interested, stay for a.. hopefully a long term business ."

After wandering in the bazaar yesterday, he found that most of the unsaleable item he passed by was food. Reason? Aaron would say it doesn't look like food to him.

Him buying this was not solely to appease their grudge and made a good impression for his armies. But also to prepare a stable line of food supply for his soldiers soon.

' Well, if it's my soldier. They definitely could eat that gar- Ahem, Food, respect business partner.'
