Human Binary: The Unrivalled King of Technology

Mata appeared in front of One spear with her two Knives going for the neck. However, under this attack. One spear had yet to make any moves. When the knives were couple of inches from his face. He made a move. He sidesteps the attack, moving his spear in a swift circular motion, generating powerful whirlwind, disrupting Mata stance. In a blink, Mata and One spear change their position. Their back was facing each other. Seeing this, Mata was flabbergasted. Her heart racing seriously. She quickly turned herself to face One Spear. But only to be accosted by the waiting tip of his spear.

"You're powerful than Ji. But your reflex is so-so." 

What!

Mata was flabbergasted by the sudden waiting tips of the spear. She didn't dare make a move, any unnecessary move have her throat pierced. However, hearing the disappoint tone of One spear. Mata blinked her eyes recovering from the shock. She wanted to refuted his claimed but the word stuck in her mouth. What could she say. Nothing. The fact she could last a single exchange says it all. Is she such a mediocre that all her high and mighty was nothing but just a joke. Many negative thought sprung in her mind. 

Meanwhile, the PAR had their jaw dropped. The number of shocked they received on the battle was beyond their imagination. They came to Thango with their heads raised high. Thinking they rule the world. But reality clapped them in the face. From this moment onward. PAR would be a joke in presence of the world. Their strongest soldier couldn't even last a single exchange in the hand of the enemy….

Inside PAR headquarters in Beta, the five leader of PAR watch with their jaw dropped. The elderly man with white hair went back to his seat, lost in thought. After everything had unfold, there is no saying. The enemy is way beyond stronger than what they imagine. 

'The movement skills and the spear attack is too smooth for novice.' The white man creased his brow. 'What kind of power could train such a powerful people.' This was the question that baffle everyone. 

"Sir, what does this mean?" A middle-aged woman in a military uniform asked slowly. No one dare to believe what this signifies. They pin their hope on their leader. 

"What do you mean? What does this mean… hmm?" The white man asked without any change in his expression. 

"Sir… I … mean what…"

"Don't sweat yourself. It means… Thango is not our territory anymore." 

What!

The white man looked at the face of the four like they are fools. He relaxed his back on the chair and sighed deeply. "Do you think we should something  about it. or perhaps you feel offended for a nameless power to ridicule our name and prestige?" he asked staring at their faces.

"Yes. We couldn't let some measly power dare tarnish the name of our organization. We represent the people will. And if we couldn't overcome this obstacle. Then the people wouldn't have any believe in us anymore." The woman said with determination.

"Yes. Madam Stone is right. If we don't quench this fire quickly. It would spread. And those bandit and terrorist wouldn't fear us anymore." Another man added.

Hearing their opinion, the white man shook his head and asked calmly. "What do you suggest we do?"

"We should send our strongest soldiers and use air strike to turned the land into a pool of blood. Let see how they defends them." Madam Stone replied coldly. 

"OK. Mata is 4-star soldier. So if you are talking about the strongest, you mean you , right?" 

What!

The four widened their eyes. they looked at each other before turning to their leader. Madam Stone opened her mouth but the words stuck in her mouth. She swallowed the lumps in her throat and looked at her colleagues for help. But the other avert their gaze.  Seeing this, Madam Stone curse these wretched old bones in her heart. She gnashed her teeth and looked at the leader. 

The leader looked at the four in disdain. He understand the game these useless four are playing. But it wouldn't be unwise not play their game. And seeing them shooting each other on the foot. He snickered. 

"Are not going to fight for the glory of PAR, hmm?" The leader asked. 

"It--- not… about…."

"Shut up your fucking mouth!" The leader snapped. He had enough of their shenanigans. 

Immediately the four coward in fear, taking a couple of steps. Looking at the leader with wariness. They knew how unreasonable the leader act when he's angry. No one dare to bare the wrath of the leader. They avert their eyes from the leader's piercing gaze. Their back was already drenched in cold sweats under the enormous stare.

"You wanted to send a scape goat, hmm! Useless fools. Do you think I don't understand all the game you lot have been playing all these years?" The leader raised his voice by an octave. "A power that could train such troop would be scared of air strike. Hmm? Useless fool. In the dangerous time. You're still thinking of using another people for your bidding. Hum!" He banged the table.

Gasped.

The four heart almost jumped out of their chest. Their hearts were thumping, racing at Mach 10. They trembled. Praying this moment should disappeared quickly. The atmosphere in the room descended into utmost silence. Their breathing became erratic, beads of sweats formed on their forehead. Their muscle tensed; their blood chunked. The four looked at the four for a couple of seconds and exhaled deeply. 

"If not for the upcoming competition. I won't have hesitated to kill you all. Sighed. If not for your greediness and uselessness. We wouldn't have found ourselves in this shameful situation." He snorted. 

"Forget about Thango and start thinking on how to stabilize Beta for any uprising. Is that clear?" 

"Yes!" The four chorused, looking at their foot.

"My eyes are on your four. If I found any discrepancies during the sensitive period. Then…" The leader laugh but the laugh was no laugh. 

The four shivered hear such laugh. Now they knew if anyone of them misbehave at this moment. Then… Everyone of them abandoned the thought of scheming for the time. Death is a friend of no one. No one wanted to die an untimely death. Under the tense atmosphere, the leader phone rang. Picking his phone and seeing the contact details. A slight frown appeared on the leader but it quickly returned to normal

"You're dismiss." The leader waves his hand not looking at the four. He turned his back and answered the call.

Meanwhile on the battlefield, Mata looked at the departing One spear not knowing how to react. She had prepared to have fierce battle to death. But now… She look like a joke. Still in conflict thought. Another young man appeared in front of Mata. 

"I can see you wanted to have a battle. Likewise me. Those like One spear, Crazy and the like are freaks. But me, I'm average Joe. Besides, I don't use weapon, only fist. I'm Iron Fist."

Mata was astounded. She was already expecting her death, but this… another fighter. What the hell is going on. She raised her head and looked at the Knights expecting some dissatisfaction. But she saw none. She nodded her head place her ridiculous defeat behind her mind. She took a fight pose, ready for battle. 

"What a great mindset." The young man controlling the battle murmured. 'I can guess why the Command wanted to test her limit. She's really talented.'

"You can initiate the first attack." Iron fist announced. 

"Ok" Mata wasn't polite. She nodded and attack immediately. 

Swiss!

She appeared in front of Iron Fist with her two knives, going for the neck and the chest. Seeing this, Iron Fist twisted his lips and changes his stance into horse stance. He didn't retreat for the deadly attack but sends out two powerful punches. 

Boom!

What!

Mata raised her brow. She expected Iron Fist to dodge the attack. But she was wrong. Nevertheless, she quickly controlled her body and maneuvered the attack, appeared on the left side of Iron Fist. Not stopping for a bit, Mata send another deadly attack. The attack was so fast that normal eyes couldn't see the trajectory of the knives. 

Like usual, Iron Fist meet the attack head one. He punched that knife attack continuously, rendering the knives attack useless. As time went by, the fight become more deadly. Mata abandoned all defense and attack Iron Fist with everything she got. She flickered around Iron Fist like phantom with deadly knives attack. The surrounding area was filled with knives attacks. And beside Iron Fist was a hole. His foot had struck deep into the sand, creaking an enormous hole. 

Maya was flabbergasted. She had entered her battle mode, but she couldn't defeat her opponent. However, she reject the idea of giving up. It either do or die. One of them must be a victor. Suddenly, Maya two powerful attack toward Iron Fist legs. Also she didn't give him the chance to defend the attack before sending another attack to his chest. 

Watching the deadly, Iron Fist squinted his brow and grunted. Swiss! He moved from his usual position, appearing a couple of meters from the danger. He looked straight at Mata without any expression on his face.

"I've been defending.. Now it my time to attack."
