Pen and Mainland

"System please activate the Ghostwriter skill!"

"Command Executed"

The ghost hand disappeared and knowledge on how to use the ghost hand flooded lizzys brain, she got a slight headache for a few seconds and it then subsided as if nothing happened.

"Oh so thats how you use it! but then i still need one crucial item to use both the skill and the notebook... A PEN!! i couldve killed Tai cheng first then Diao meng personally but my plan is thwarted because i dont have A PEN!!"

Lizzy vented out her frustration of not having a pen and then calmed down after, she then threw the note book into the inventory space, she would then walk around the forest to try and find more rats to share her frustration with.

"Ill keep an eye out for a pen just in case i do find one since there are small villages and a shore village on this island along with cement structures so it shouldnt be hard to find a pen here"

Lizzy walked around for quite a while and stopped on some occasions since she would find fresh traces of the massive apes existence in those areas, at the same time more soldiers explored the area of disappearance of the golf squadron, none returned but the fallen soldiers were able to radio in fragmented information that the military HQ was able to receive and combine.

Meeting Tent.

"The fragmented information we have received points us towards the direction of mutated worms, we are currently unclear of which earthworm species it is, but we believe it is best that we prepare in case the worms attack the HQ" Communications HQ leader.

"Thank you for your report, you are dismissed" Mr.Smith.

The Communications leader left the tent and the admirals looked at each other with worry and tiredness, the once fallen Dao qin has now joined their ranks after being briefed of what happened after wards.

"I believe we should inform our respective Main HQs about this so they could prepare for possible worm attacks" Dao Qin.

"I agree, maybe we can ask for more resources in order to hasten the island capture" Sophy.

"That would be the best we could get from them, the worst would be that theyll abandon us and leave us to die on this island" Alek.

"This is really quite the problem we have at hand" Mr.Smith.

After Mr.Smith talked a person with a white lab coat entered the tent and whispered something to his ear.

"Are you sure about that?" Mr.Smith.

"Positive sir" Scientist.

"Okay my fellow admirals it seems after a week or so our small scientific department has finally produced results, we will have to go to their site so we can confirm it with our own eyes" Mr.Smith.

The admirals stood up from their seats with expectations in their eyes, they hoped that this discovery could help them against the dangers of the island, they walked behind the scientist and entered a white enclosed tent, they were then disinfected and given masks and goggles to wear.

"This skull has given us a few good results mostly on the weapons front, a few days ago we have asked some soldiers to fish out the rest of the bones from the ocean, they still havent returned with them yet but when it arrives we hope to create more useful equipment for combatting the creatures" Scientist.

They entered a room within the tent that had a rather wide area that could be used for testing, a table with a test tube was on it along with a gun and pure white bullet that had cracks of blue running on it, on the other side of the room was a rat that stood on two legs, it was chained and caged, it eyed them cautiously as they entered.

"Isnt that the rat we captured a few days ago before the ape attack?" Mr.Smith.

"Yes sir we have already took a lot of samples from it and all we could say is that they are the same as their normal counterparts, High copulating pests, they have no use at all" Scientist.

"What is it here for then?" Sophy.

"That is what im about to go into ma'am" the scientist walked towards the table and inserted the weird bullets into the gun while taking the powder with him as he returned to where the admirals were.

"This powder and the bullets in this gun are the same, theyre both taken from the skull, painstakingly scraped off using its own teeth that got pulled off, the skulls density is stronger than steel and almost rivals the hardness of diamonds, we were baffled by how it was so hard and we may have found why, the blue lines on this bullet signify the energy ingrained within this bone powder, this energy is violent yet calm at the same time, the only thing we can connect to this energy are the folklores and legends of the farther lands witchcraft and wizardry, so we proceeded to call it as so, its called mana, i know it sounds like the babbling of some one who failed to discover anything productive but we did" Scientist.

The scientist moved and faced the rat, he raised the pistol and aimed at its body, he then pulled the trigger but the expected loud boom didnt emanate, instead the bullet flew at an astonishing speed comparable to a high caliber rifle, the bullet then stopped inside the rat as if something stopped its acceleration, the rat then suddenly squirmed and screamed and then it exploded in a bloom of a sharp crystal like material dripping with red.

"What just happened?" Mr.Smith questioned while looking at the remains.

"This sir, the mana inside the bullet reacted to the foreign energy inside the rat causing a reaction neutralising the calm mana that contained the violent mana causing rapid solidification due to the violent mana merging and compressing inside the rat, we believe its because the energy is trying to elevate its power but the mana is non sentient, we are still attempting find a proper explanations for this" Scientist.

"I dont need that explanation, i just need you to answer one question, can it be used immediately?" Mr.smith.

"Currently the production of the bullets can be done but not at a pace that one can waste it since we only have this set of bones, we will proceed to research on the bones of other creatures to find other alternatives but the answer is yes sir" Scientist.

"Good, produce a thousand or more bullets, we will require it" Mr.Smith.

"Another question can it penetrate the soil and hit whatever it is underneath?" Alek.

"Yes sir, with its power and speed, we believe it should be able to penetrate about 3-5 meters into the soil" Scientist.

"Thats already good enough, we hope that you can work well with the scientists of our empires dr?" Alek said and asked with a smile that belonged to a democrat or business man.

"Dr. Frank Wattson, thats my name and i will work hard for the sake of humanity admirals" Dr.Wattson.

"We will be expecting a lot of good stuff from you Doc" Aron.

The admirals left the tent and walked back towards their personal tents, some opened their laptops to report their current situation hoping for more support.

"This news is very helpful to the fatherland admiral schneider" Bundesadler President.

"Its nothing Mr.President i am just doing my job to the best of my abilities" Sophy.

"Expect the resources to arrive on the island via a freighter, the construction of the fatherlands safezone shall immediately prioritize the underground areas, Admiral Schneider as soon as new info arrives immediately report to me, also attempt to send some of those bullets home for our personnel" Bundesadler President.

"Yes sir!" Sophy.

"And with that Admiral Schneider you are dismissed... so daughter how has the camp treated you? no ones harassing you right?" President Schneider asked sophy with a worried look on his face, sophy looked at her surroundings before sighing and talking.

"Daddy im fine, i wanted to be an admiral and to be able to help you since i was a kid you know, im not the weak little girl i used to be" Sophy.

"I know, i know daughter but after your mom passed i can't help but worry, youre the only one i have left, after this mission id like for you to retire and just stay at home" President Schneider.

"No promises daddy, oh gotta work see you later daddy love you!" Sophy.

"Love you more daughter, bye" President Schneider.

...

Mainland Panda Empire.

"Ahhh!! shoot it! shoot it!" Soldier 1.

"F*ck! f*ck! f*ck! Why dont we have intelligence on this creature!?!" Leader.

In the middle of a city evacuating citizens the scene of the golf squadron repeated as more and more worms surfaced from the ground looking like a hydra buried in the ground.

"Leader! we have received info and we have been issued to retreat! HQ plans to perform a bullet strafe on the worms and if it doesnt work a missile strafe is to follow!" Soldier 2.

"Everyone retreat now! throw your bombs at them!" Leader.

The soldiers ran fast using all of their strength, their numbers dwindled one by one but a few were able to survive thanks to the well timed arrival of the fighters, the bullet strafe proved effective and plenty of the worm died, in a room the panda empires squadron laid on a hospital bed getting treated.

"We got lucky leader" Soldier 2.

"We did but we lost a lot of personnel and friends, has HQ informed the families?" Leader.

"Yes but i heard many of them directly asked for the soldiers insurance and pension" Soldier 2 said with an ugly face, the people that died did it for the country but their families only had money in mind.

"Tch damn greedy animals" The leader said before closing his eyes to rest.
