After the battle against the female lizard, the Alien Special Squad was granted a few days of leave. For the first time in months, peace returned, and the members decided to spend their time by the riverside.
Ruka and Kuze were laughing and enjoying themselves. Ruka, especially, was filled with joy, but Zaid's eyes were burning with determination.
"I will destroy every alien that exists in this world," he vowed.
Suddenly, a soldier from the military arrived with an urgent message.
"My name is Pokus. I am from Squad 36. The court has ordered me to deliver this notice: your vacation ends today. You must return to duty immediately."
Leader Boketo frowned. "What happened? Is there trouble?"
Pokus's voice trembled. "The aliens are attacking again… They have destroyed our homes, devoured our families, even consumed people's very souls…" His voice cracked as tears welled up, and he could not continue.
Boketo placed a firm hand on his shoulder. "If you fear death, then who will fight for humanity? Go. Tell the Special Squad we return to duty tomorrow. We will not falter."
Ruka stepped forward. "We have no time to waste. If we're going to capture the three doors, we must train harder — both physically and mentally."
"You are right," Boketo agreed. "Only by becoming stronger can we stand against them."
Among the squad was Lorya, a powerful fighter. She had survived the five-year war and had slain more than thirty aliens. She was also a researcher, always hungry for knowledge. Her studies revealed a disturbing truth: the alien doors and the aliens themselves were deeply connected.
Meanwhile, Zaid had been secretly training to transform into an alien.
. At first, he failed… until suddenly, his body shifted halfway into an alien form. Lorya witnessed it and whispered, "It's… beautiful.
The Court's Orders
The court soon commanded the Special Squad to capture three doors: Pedamma, Golreys, and the Yellow Door.
When the squad reached the affected area, they were shocked by the condition of the people. Boketo approached one villager. "What happened here? Why are people acting so strange?"
The man snapped angrily. "Do you not see? We haven't eaten in ten, fifteen days! We are starving. We collapse in the streets while you soldiers waste time!"
The squad regrouped on campus to plan. Boketo explained:
"We will use three signal smokes — black, yellow, and white. Black means aliens are sighted. Yellow means a swarm is approaching. White means the way is clear. Zaid, your role is the most important — you must close the three doors. Can you do it?"
Zaid nodded firmly. "Yes, Captain. I'll give my best. But… I cannot fight and close the doors at the same time. I'll need protection."
"Then five members will guard you," Boketo declared. "Ruka, Kuze, Chucky, and Bertyhood — you're his shield."
The Battle for Pedamma Door
The next day, the squad split into two units. Smoke signals filled the air as Zaid transformed into alien form and approached the Pedamma door. Suddenly, abnormal aliens stormed through. Chaos erupted.
Zaid was nearly struck down by a monstrous alien wielding a blade-like arm. But Ruka leapt in, slicing off its weapon.
"Stand up, Zaid! Close the door!" she shouted.
Blue smoke rose into the sky — the signal of success. The Pedamma door was captured.
The Hidden Truth
Meanwhile, Lorya pursued her research. She captured a parasite creature and tortured it for answers.
"I can't reveal the truth," it hissed. "But… if you find the royal blood of a girl, everything will become clear."
The next day, the parasite was mysteriously executed by the military police.
Boketo grew suspicious. He confided in Duke Major about his childhood — how his father had whispered the truth of the doors and aliens but never in full, and how the government had always lied. His father had died in a "car accident," but Boketo knew it was no accident.
Soon after, the squad was accused of murdering three civilians. Boketo investigated, only to discover that the so-called victims were businessmen supplying food to starving people. Before he could expose the truth, new orders came: capture Boketo and bring him before the king.
The Trial Before the King
Boketo was dragged before the king. Beside the throne stood two sinister men — Quadri and Drxoul, along with a priest.
"What is your last wish, Boketo?" Quadri sneered.
Boketo glared at them. "If you destroy the Special Squad, who will protect humanity when the aliens attack the Black Door?" His words left them unsettled.
At that moment, a young girl burst into the hall. "The aliens are attacking the doors!"
Panic erupted. Orders were given to seal the smaller doors, but soldiers protested: "Are we to abandon our people? Let them die?"
Then Major stormed in with his forces. In a shocking twist, he exposed and captured the fake king and the corrupt police force.
Sophie's Secret
Among the chaos was Sophie, revealed to carry the true royal blood. Her tragic past haunted her — her mother once wished she had never been born.
Her father, however, revealed the family's secret: their bloodline carried alien powers. One day, Zaid's own father had transformed and stolen his sister's powers.
Zaid himself was chained deep in a cave, forced to confront his father. "Who are you? What do you want from me?" he screamed.
His father touched his mind, flooding him with visions of betrayal and stolen powers. Zaid's cries echoed in the dark.
Finally, his father gave him a cursed drink, attempting to devour Zaid and claim his alien-killer power. But just as darkness closed in, Zaid's squad arrived to save him.
