EARTH IS BEAUTIFUL

The spaceship bringing Seoul soon hovered into sight, then descended inside a field that was closer to the relaxing column.
The entity dropped down the spaceship, then signal to the pilot to fly off, but stay around.
Seoul's eyes glitter in the darkness, which is becoming absolute as the moon hides beneath the cloud of the approaching rain.
"Where are you, Horus?" Seoul asked, then walked towards some lights shimmering far off.
The breezy environment soon turned into rain and the entity walked with arms raised as the water from the sky bathed him. "Earth is beautiful!"
Where he was, the rain was unheard and the Hoorays need to dig irrigation to wet their plants. But here, water from above and below is in excess. How Seoul loves water.
Two guards were hidden under the roof of a depilated house, and one among them looked up and saw the blazing green eyes coming closer.
"A wild animal is coming our way." The guard alert his comrade, and both instantly picked up their fallen weapon, then stooped to remain unseen by whatever is on its way.
When one among them peered out of his hidden, the blazing eyes stood close to him, and a strong hand pulled him, while the other hand pulled his comrade, smashed them together and a threatening voice asked.
"Where is the scepter?"
"What?"
"What scepter?"
The half-conscious men asked back.
Seoul raise his second left hand and pulled the head of one of the disoriented men out, and the death of his comrade pulled the other man out of his reverie.
"Over... Over there, the... The scepter is with Brenda, and her room is over there." A scared voice answered back, pointed his hands at a house close by, then tried to cry out as another hand of the attacking entity raised towards him. But his crying was cut short when his head was pulled off his neck.
Seoul tossed the dead men away, then walked towards the place the dead man had shown him.
"Horus will be around here, and I wish to see him before going." Seoul let out, then shrugged after. "I will come back and see him if I don't have the chance to see him now."
He saw four men slumbering at the door of the place where the scepter ought to be, and Seoul quickly raced at them and then plunged into their midst in a few seconds.
Being a superhuman being, Seoul's speed and agility are next to none.
One among the men jerked his head up, then quickly screamed out, as the incoming entity raced at them.
But before he even uttered a word, a strong hand muffled his screaming, then pulled off his head.
The remaining men quickly jerked awake, then tried to evade the incoming thrust. But the attacking entity whacked his hand on their heads and they all fell faint instantly.
Unfortunately, they never woke up, but remained silent forever, as their heads were pulled off.
Seoul grinned, then spit on the flowing blood of the men he just killed. He raised one of his legs, then banged it on the wooden door, and the door was flung off its hook.
"Where is the scepter?" A menacing voice asked in a whisper.
Brenda and Maria opened their eyes at the same time, then both leaped out of the mattress as two strong arms swung at them.
"What the hell is this?" Maria asked, leaped back, and stand close to Brenda.
"Another kind of alien, I guess," Brenda answered back.
"Ha...ha...ha!"
A horrible voice laughed out, and the two ladies looked horrific at the forked tongue and deadly odor that is emitting from the strange entity.
"Am the great Seoul, the lord over fear and death." The entity let out.
The two ladies looked perplexed and Brenda pinched her cheek to be sure this isn't one of her numerous nightmares.
"Give me the scepter, and I will make your death quick and less painful."
Another Hooray in charge of the Asia continent was seen writing his daily report on a gadget that looked like a computer, in a well-lighted room among the column of rooms that served as the Hooray's headquarters. He typed furiously for a while, then his hand suddenly jerked forward as green light blinked on the gadget in his front. He pressed the accept option, and a commanding voice boomed out.
"Am the senate leader, and I'm calling to inform you orally about your next mission."
"At your service, your lordship." The tall and well-muscled Hooray, with a ponytail, answered back.
"You are to gather a large army and fly down to the destination I will be sending to you in a few seconds."
"What is my specific mission at that location?"
"As you are aware, the scepter is not yet destroyed and remains our greatest threat. You are to support Seoul and make sure his attempt to collect the scepter is accomplished."
"Seoul, are you referring to the cursed demon that was locked up in our bottomless pit?"
"Yes, or did you know another Seoul," the booming voice hisses back. "We won't have informed him if you have all done your duties diligently."
"So sorry your lordship, but I have subdued all the opposition gangs, and peace is now emerging, even though still slow at this moment."
"Your outstanding performance speaks for you, and this was the reason why you are chosen to perform the task."
"It will be done, your lordship."
"One more thing, if Horus shows any sign of treachery, then kill him and take over his region as well. You are free to use any weapon that you believe is necessary."
"Including the banned weapon?"
"Yes, the banning has been revoked until further notice." The senate leader answered back.
"We will be flying there as soon as possible."
"Make it snappy, able warrior, I wish you godspeed."
"I will, in a few hours." The commander cut the call and look lost in thought, but the eerily buzzing of his gadget soon jolt him back into his presence. He stood up abruptly from his seat and strolled around his big office.
Not when he was thinking of applying for a week off to see his family.
One of the disadvantages of success, it always comes with more responsibility.
His family must wait for a moment longer, not that they have a choice. Neither him nor any of the Hoorays he will be flying out with, in a few hours!
