Thunderclaps amidst all the heavy rain announce to those aboard the424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9SvNeSLxPJ
strange-looking aircraft stubbornly making its way across the sky, that they424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrn8vkRHrTM
have just entered Beriheim. It is the UX-Rg31 prototype; also known by few424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn9RU8cHgJr
as the ´Bolt Lander´, a most unique aircraft amongst its peers as its main purpose is to424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvteHyw9ujm
travel anywhere undetected.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo7nfIBShW
But not tonight though, for tonight stealth must be sacrificed for haste, and so424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzGNXQS8pB
nothing will be able to hide it and its sounds of fury as it makes its way across the skies.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQYEqHqeQ7
It departed from the Human Capital not even two hours ago, and has been cutting424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6xPSnqr5v
clouds and deafening anyone caught under it since it took to the skies. It is headed424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7sVphD2yca
towards the top of the Beriheim Mountain and the large flashes of white light now424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFX696ZPZPk
pouring through those thick glassed windows let everyone aboard know that they are424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKzAcVwP3Vp
getting closer.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBN3xSMGD3E
An old man is confidently taking the pilot seat, his face is spent and his wrinkly424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4wL8DnHW2f
hairy hands shaky, but he is still the best pilot on the continent. His eyes are not what424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsYNB93JQZ
they used to be, but Airman Sheiska has always displayed an uncanny knack for flying424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsucOaarOfv
as he keeps demonstrating with his almost purely intuitive manoeuvres between one424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1RdHOEzfhe
lighting strike and the next. It is imperative that he brings those five men as close to424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5cw7R0Qdsz
that Mountain as possible. Four figures sitting in the dark, two on each side of that424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGmX72FnsT
cargo hold and with their silhouettes barely visible, except for now and again when424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7GEiQj8XpT
those flashes of light storming the outside manage to break in. And a fifth who refuses424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6vJFMUbpiX
his seat preferring instead to stand proud between them; he is holding himself to a424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9ADOWc0QC
metal bar right above his head as the entire aircraft keeps shaking. Every single time424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn5AORbXZdd
a big flash of white dumps its light through those small windows, a thunderous roar424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOYXPsXA8g
and a violent shake immediately follow. It is quickly growing worse as all six aboard424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZjgg85054R
can easily tell. These five are its cargo, for the Bolt Lander is transporting, as it usually424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4HjezeAxBd
does, the very best of all the Human forces. The elite team that King Hervies deploys424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFfPhxLewmF
when he needs something taken care of quickly and surely.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDo8CD9VCE8
They are the “Hervies Hand” for they always operate as a team of five and they424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzbSaHoHrG
are the most trusted and capable of all at the Human king’s disposal. They are the424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr1RcSm5DqH
best. Five elite soldiers; capable of all sorts of tasks that their king might ask of them,424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmukUqkTrUW
including most of all, combat. Time and again have they survived what no one else424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB0ojTanYp
would and just as often have they fought and vanquished all sorts of enemies in all424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaCd21JezHP
sorts of preposterous scenarios.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dkPNn320h
They go in and they come out successfully, that is what they do, and they have never424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZZZPrGsXv

Everyone knows that the Hand is only called to serve during states of emergency.424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrFkp2Qtfq
Their work is few and far between, but it is always impactful, and many times has the424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsd80hhdOyV
outcome of their missions changed the course of Human history. They are preparing424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8N7BfspdW

Tonight, however, the Bolt Lander’s bold nickname is to be tested, as its speed is424Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwlb27FdsO5
