Back in the forest, the confused knights are trying to find out what is happening, not knowing where the four people went. Ever since losing sight of them when the light beam came, they became determined but paranoid in finding them, going to the point of digging the ground in case if they were transported underground.

"Go, keep on digging! Use your sensors to find them at once!" a commander barks at the troops.

More and more earth is pulled apart, the dirt from the grass now gone, replaced with a large hole that gets bigger with each movement, and new ones growing nearby as the soldiers are covering a bigger area.

However, amidst the shadows, a figure of a man appears near a tree branch, overlooking the troops from afar. The figure almost looks like it's armored, with a cape flowing from behind. He then unsheathes something from his belt, revealing a familiar-looking hilt.

A green one.

He clinches the hand near the chest while extending the right one holding the hilt, pointing to the front of the Zlocan patrol.

Suddenly, the figure leaps out of the shadows.

Proceeding to pierce one of the walkers, carving hundreds of holes to the body itself, while vertically slicing one of the legs of the mecha, being cut in half.

All with a green glow along the sliced part.

"What the hell?" A common cry rippled through the troops. They start to disperse from the sight of the figure who sliced the Walker into oblivion. He proceeds to do more or less the same with the other ones.

The last one fires at the figure, but the figure deflects the laser bolts, while growing the light blade into a katana-esque shape. The figure slices the mecha and pilot in half.

But before anyone can start firing, a pink laser bolt emerges deep from the woods, hitting one of the drones that makes it explode massively. The other drones start to suffer the same fate. The Zlocan group, in a state of panic, proceed to fire at all directions of the forest, trying to eliminate the unknown threats.

"Fire everything! Whatever they are, just fire!!" one of the officers screams at the troops while trying to fire everything.

The figure with the transforming sword swiftly deflects most of the blasts while taking cover in the trees, using their agility to dodge every laser bolt while using their sword to deflect them back.

Then, a figure tosses a pair of metal balls. Four Knights notice, freezing.

But before they could react to them, the balls explode with an electric blast, shocking most of the troops severely while being surrounded by bolts around the body.

They are then struck by four simultaneous laser bolts, ending their lives.

A pair of heavily armored Knights starts to fire near the location where the bolts came from, and firing at any direction of the woods while trying to use their sensors to detect if it's still alive or not.

"If the Humans are that good, then they're still a hell of a pain!" one of the heavy troopers says while firing.

Then, they're blown into nearby trees when caught in a green flowing wind. The heavy troopers try to get up and continue firing, but before they could do so, they soon levitate with a green aura surrounding them. After a brief pause, the group of heavy Knights is thrown away to a faraway place.
