Chapter 699 - Pirate Aliens

Afton leads the group of Psykers out through the exit hopefully leading to the command center, they enter into another long hallway, which obviously contains yet more blast doors to impede them.

The group behind him abruptly stops at the obstacle, but Afton sends a shrug their way and easily punches straight through it, tear a large hole into the metal with his bare hands and ducking through it afterwards.

As Afton continues walking towards the blast doors, one of the Psyker men he'd rescued jogs to his side, "Hey, I was thinking, do you think those other guys will be a problem later?" he suddenly asks, speaking Norwegian.

Afton turns to look at the man, easily identifying the trademark features of someone from that region... Blonde hair, part green and brown eyes, and a large build... He was a head taller than Afton, and looked as if he had the potential to become a strongman in the future, which only reinforced Afton's preconceived notions on the man's race.

In response to the man's question though, he just shakes his head, "I doubt they'll get far, while I can deal with the Aliens, it'd be far more difficult for anyone else.... I literally had launch myself on a rocket into space without a spacesuit, survive the vacuum, and fight my way into the alien mothership..." he explains.

The man gives him a baffled look and pause his steps momentarily before catching up again, "Ah, my name is Egil by the way."

"Where you from Egil? I seem to recall most of Europe getting nuked out of existence... Are there still pockets of survivors there?"

Egil solemnly shakes his head, "It is as you say, Norway is completely uninhabitable... But, me and my family lived in a bunker until it ran out of supplies. I tried to look for more, but..." he looks at the floor with a great deal of anguish, "I guess I got caught."

Afton has to stop himself from asking what year he'd been captured, most bunkers only had enough supplies to last a few hundred years. Vaults usually only lasting two hundred, so it was likely that his friends and family were all dead...

He shakes his head, deciding to change the subject, "What's your power Egil?"

"Ah... I don't know... I didn't even know I had abilities until now." he admits, sheepishly scratching the back of his head.

Afton grins, "I could find out for you if you like."

Egil crooks a brow curiously, "Sure...?"

Afton nods and activates [Living Anatomy], taking a look at Egil's status to see just what power he had.

[Egil]

Health : 97%

Stamina : 80%

DT : 5

Strength : 8

Perception : 5

Endurance : 6

Charisma : 5

Intelligence : 5

Agility : 4

Luck : 4

Ailments :

[Psyker] : Grants Supernatural abilities at the expense of the user's Luck.

[Possessive Tendencies] : Gives the user the ability to possess another's body for a limited time. This is limited and the strength is based on the user's will power. User's body will be unconscious and vulnerable during this state.

Afton hums upon seeing the ability, honestly, the strength of it solely depending on who he could actually use it on. If he could control Afton, it'd be incredibly powerful.. Though, Afton's resistance to Psyker abilities would prevent that.

Additionally, he couldn't see any use for it, as Afton would likely take care of everything before disaster strikes.

He shakes his head and breaks from his thoughts, coughing in his fist as he locks eyes with Egil, "You have the ability to possess people, taking control of their body's while leaving your own in a vulnerable state." he explains, and Egil's eyes widen.

"R-really? That seems really strong! How do I use it?"

...

Afton shrugs, "No idea... Anyway, we gotta keep moving, before the Aliens decide to just escape and open every airlock as they leave." he says, punching another hole into the nearby blast door, the force of which accidentally knocking Egil onto his ass "Er, sorry!"

Ten minutes later :

After destroying around a hundred or so blast doors, Afton and his group of rowdy Psykers find themselves confronted by a large group of heavily armed Aliens... They seem to have created a blockade in an attempt to salvage the situation... The only thing preventing an all-out fight now was the thin metal wall sitting between the two groups.

It was honestly quite lucky that Afton had noticed the blockade before opening the door... He didn't think anyone in his group would survive against such defences. He turns to face the group and begins addressing them, reminding himself again to repeat in many different languages.

"Alright! There's a bunch of Aliens on the other side waiting for us, I'll be fine dealing with them, but you're free to help out if you like... Just know that there's a 99% chance that you will die if you try. That's all." he states.

Once done scaring the group, he turns and draws his Ultra-Chainsword while preparing to form a root shield... Once ready, he crashes through the high-tech door and immediately begins sprinting down the hallway, towards the blockade that has begun opening fire at him.

His [Diamond Skin] root shield blocks most projectiles with ease, allowing him to quickly reach the alien's position. There were around a hundred of them, but none stood a chance as he began tearing them to pieces... Indeed, once the Psykers saw how easily he was killing the aliens, they moved to assist, using their abilities to freeze, stab, burn, electrocute, throw, and many other abilities to attack.

The battle ended in around five minutes, with no injuries incurred on Afton's side... Primarily due to him taking more of the alien's attention.
