in the Heart. He looked at a number on top of a door: 1515.

The large double metal doors opened and Sorom came across a young woman wearing a white dress with long curly hair. He couldn't say for sure, but she looked familiar.

“You're the guy on TV!” She said, and then she showed fear. “Have you come to kidnap me?”

She ran back into the room, but the second door was locked.

“Why would we kidnap you?” Asked Sorom. “We just want the way out; can you point us out? We won't hurt you.”

She looked deep into Sorom's eyes.

“So, you don't know who I am...”

“I don't want to be unpleasant, but we don't have much time.” Dijo said holding Willys. “And these mechanical limbs are very heavy.”

Sorom approached the woman looking at her with the same intensity.

“You look like him.” Sorom said. “Who are you?”

The woman thought about what she would answer. She felt a connection to Sorom and was ready to stop hiding.

“Will you end the destinies?” she asked. “Is that your goal?”

Dijo kept trying to get Sorom's attention, but the leader seemed to be almost in a trance.

“That's what I'm going to do.” Sorom replied. "I am the leader of the Chaos Agents and we will not stop until we overthrow God!”

She raised her arm, showing her fate to Sorom.

“If you are the leader of the Chaos Agents, you are also my leader.”

The red glyphs on his arm showed the word Sorom was most familiar with: Chaos.

“Call me Zizi, I am Pharaoh Tess's sister.”

At this point Sorom's brain was firing ideas and possibilities.

“We don't have time, so I'll try to be quick,” Sorom said, carrying a confident pose.

Almost half an hour after the end of this conversation, Evelin was still on the bridge with his team. Some guards tried to break in, but Tugsten's barriers were securing their victory so far.

“Tug,” Norna's voice said on the communicator, “we are almost ready, just waiting for Sorom to come, but Dunna has arrived and is destroying our forces.”

“Should we go and help?” Asked Tugsten.

At that moment the doors of the corridor opened, and guards were advancing. The four had to fire to hold them, but the enemies were more organized and managed to retreat to plan a more efficient invasion.

“If we don't stop this guardian before Sorom arrives, there will be nothing to take back,” Norna said worriedly.

Tugsten shot at the bridge windows, which led to the hangar and looked at his companions.

“Go, I'll take care of it.”

Jamin and Sliger looked worried at their partner.

“You won't be able to hold everyone on your own.” Jamin said.

“I'm going to get enough time so you can escape.”

“But, Tug, you will be captured! Or worse...”

Sliger approached and put his hand on her shoulder.

“It is an honorable sacrifice. Your memory will not be forgotten.”

She pulled the man and hugged him tightly, Jamin went after to participate in the moment. Evelin was affected with the woman's choice, especially when she called her for the hug.

Tugsten said goodbye to his colleagues, placing a new strip of ammunition on her arm and pointing into the hallway.

“And how are we going to get down?” Asked Evelin to Jamin and Sliger that weren’t showing energy to continue.

“If we stand here, Tug's plan will have been of no use!” Said Evelin trying to get his companions to act.

Jamin took a hook with a rope and put it in the window. It was a fall of almost five meters back to the hangar. Evelin took one last look at Tugsten before going down and saw the corridor doors opening again and more guards coming.

The young woman did not stay to see what would happen and went down with her companions.

“Let's find the guardian,” Sliger suggested. “We have to hold him until Sorom arrives.”

Evelin and Jamin agreed and ran in the noisiest direction. As they approached, they saw the man's huge silhouette. If the Royal Guards were already imposing, Guardian Dunna looked like a giant. A black armor of almost three meters, carrying thrusters in the back to facilitate movement and a giant axe also with thrusters.

They saw him slicing a battle android right in half. Several of their colleagues shot the guardian, but his barrier held up everything without showing any sign of weakening.

Evelin's group hid behind some debris together with Ratz reloading his missile launcher.

“You have laser guns, don't you?” asked Ratz. “Help burn this guy's barrier!”

He got up and launched his missile which was completely stopped by the barrier and fell to the ground without exploding.

Evelin and Sliger partially came out of their protection, hailing the guardian with lasers. The shots were damaging the barrier, but there was no sign of when it was going to burn.

“This is not possible.” Evelin said. “He must have a level six barrier projector!”

“But isn't that just for vehicles?” Asked Jamin.

“It is the only thing that explains nothing is working.”

The laser shots caught the attention of the guardian, who start going in the direction of the agents. They parted ways and Dunna decided to follow Jamin, who did not even try to defend himself with his swords. By the size of the axe, he knew he'd be defeated with a single blow. He ran away and tried to dodge as best he could, while the others kept shooting.

“Where is Sorom?” Asked Evelin to Ratz.

It's coming, but it looks like Simeht is on his tail.”

Evelin worried; however, her priority now was to defeat Dunna.

“Even if we break his barrier, that armor seems able to take a lot of damage.” commented Evelin. “We're wasting our time here.”

She looked at Ratz who had just had an epiphany.

“I'm going to boomin his face.” Said the man with an insane smile on his face. He reloaded his missile launcher and ran toward the guardian.

“What are you going to do?” asked Evelin worried; but man was already far away.

At that time, she heard an explosion, not from Ratz as expected, but from the control tower where Tug was, with black smoke
