Chapter 20; Set-Out
Darkness fills space…Nothing to see for miles and the environment completely silent and still……until the light buzzing sound was heard and as time goes, the buzzing sound gets louder and louder until… A red light suddenly appears, it pulses in response to the buzzing sound before flashing out, illuminating the room in bright red…… Levi wakes up from his dream with his bright blue eyes piercing through the dark room and his aura firing out of his body with a low wind howl. “It’s getting worse.” He grumbled as he restrained his energy and sits up. He rubs his head and glances at the time which read 4:21am. “Damn it.” He wiped his eyes and falls back to his bed. But since the sleep doesn’t come, he gets up and heads to the bathroom for a quick shower. As he finishes brushing his teeth, a flash of his dream crosses his mind and he stares at himself in the mirror, concern written on his face……until he shakes it off, washes his face and walks out of the bathroom to get ready for the da

Chapter 21; Gifted
After an hour of driving around, the squad finds themselves in a calmer and less populated area in Lagos. Nina turns around before speaking. “I’m going to go get info on our target. I don’t know how long it’ll be but those should keep you covered for now.” “So what are we supposed to do?” Veronica asked and Nina asked. “I don’t know. Go out, see a movie, just get to know the area. If you see something relating to the case, follow but don’t act. If you need me, you have my contacts and don’t forget, no powers…” “What if we need to?” Jake asked and Nina chuckles as she turns away. “Just pray you don’t have to yet. Later, kids.” She said with a wave as she struts away without a single glance back. After an awkward moment of silence…… “Levi?” MJ asked as she looked around but Levi was nowhere to be seen. “He’s right there.” Veronica said, gesturing to a retail stand where a familiar figure was purchasing something. A moment later, Levi comes back with two long snacks in his arm and

Chapter 22; Lab-Rat
Darkness fills space once again…Nothing to see for miles and the environment completely silent and still…… Seconds later, a blurry white light pierces through the darkness. The light began to come into focus and Levi eventually realises that he was staring at the ceiling of a not too bright room. His head felt like it was on fire and he could barely move except for his eyes which turns to the side to see some men in lab coats operating a computer console. He looks at the other side where he saw more scientists’ discussion and working. He closes his eyes and tries to recall what happened but it is only after a moment that he recalled the mission in Lagos with the rest of his squad. He recalls the operation and their success, as well as the surprise attack by the enemy but anything past that was blank…… “Hey, Phillip. Have you given him the second dose?” A scientist said to a less professional looking young scientist. “Relax, there’s still time before th

Chapter 23; The Silver Ghost Meets A Phantom
Seconds later in a factory-like structure connected to the enemy base, Levi speeds across the road with the bike he swiped burning rubber. “Where am I?” He mumbled as he looked around the completely abandoned factory and distant forest. He diverts to the side to avoid a bunch of old machinery before running off a little ramp, propelling him into the air……but as his figure soars through the air, his eyes catch the glimpse of what seems to be…lightning? The bolt of red lightning suddenly rips through his bike, causing an explosion that sends him skidding across the hard ground where he manages to recover after several rolls with a slightly bleeding temple. He then senses the presence of one tron but the energy coming from the figure was extremely powerful and recalls that presence as the one he felt back some hours ago before he lost consciousness. The figure’s boots crack against the broken parts of the bike as he moves through the thick smoke…with two red lights piercing through

Chapter 24; Buried Secrets
Somewhere off the coasts of Northern Africa……. A set of dark vehicles were parked in a make-shift camp somewhere in the open field. In a small tent with the symbol of the Index on it, Levi sighs as he finishes an energy drink and winces a little as he wipes his lips. Even though most of his injuries and bruises were almost healed, he still felt some pain in his body. He settles down the empty can on the table as he rubbed his cut cheek… his mind drifting back to an hour ago, the first and only lightning tron he ever encountered. Her methods of fighting and her lightning control were all far better than his…to the point that even his squad captain sustained a few blows. He clenches his fists and his entire body shivers with frustration. “Damn it.” “Levi?” Levi looks up and sees MJ giving him a worried look. “I’m okay.” He sighed with a weak smile and MJ nods as she goes over to take a seat just as Veronica spoke from a bench. “I’m even surprised you managed to escape.” She said

Chapter 25; Rematch
About two days later, the entire S class were in a plane on its way to the Southern Index HQ for a field trip. Levi sits beside Felix and Hana in the plane. He scrolls through his interface when he suddenly gets a contact info from a girl in the A class with the tag, ‘Can we hang out?’. He sighs and Felix stretches over to read the message with a little chuckle. “You should totally hang out.” Levi rolls his eyes and swipes the info aside to turn to Felix. “You know. I ‘was’ looking forward to being a low-key guy.” Felix shrugs and Hana giggles beside him. “Yeah. That idea flew right out the door since your whole snow white look.” Felix chuckled. “Plus, it’s not every day your classmate gets kidnapped by the Web and escapes.” Hana commented and Felix gestures to him. “Whatever.” Levi grumbled as he relaxed into his seat with his eyes gazing out the window beside him. “Plus, I’m not really interested in a relationship right now.” “Why?” Felix asked and Levi chuckles as he turns bac

Chapter 26; Spectre
In life, things can take an unpredictable turn to bad. But for a simple school trip to turn into an emergency alert and then an invasion, it seems like the universe was just against the S class of the Tron college or the Lab itself. But Levi in particular had a rollercoaster of emotions as he stares at an S-rank enemy of the Index and humanity…who also happens to look strongly like his blood mother. “Mum? What-” Levi was caught off as Spectre suddenly vanishes, reappearing in front of him but the shock of her identity keeps Levi completely frozen. As she attempts to grab him…… several orange energy threads suddenly wrapped around Spectre, holding her entire body in place. She struggles to look back and sees Jerry, long threads of energy stretched out from his fingers. “That’s enough of that.” Spectre grits her teeth and red electricity sparks out as her energy level rises……when Nina grabs her from behind and cuffs both of her hands with a strange black-coloured handcuff with blue

Chapter 27; Judgement
Hours earlier…… in an apartment complex just by the Southern Branch Tron College. The early morning sun rays penetrate through the curtains of a room, slowly lighting up the room until the light rays fell on a figure sleeping.The rays hit his eyes, causing him to grumble as his eyes flutter open. Jerry uses a hand to wipe his eyes and attempts to sit up when he felt something heavy on his chest.He lifts the sheets up and smiles when he sees a sleeping Miss Jane beside him with an arm lazily placed over his chest. He moves a strand of her hair from her face with a little smile as she murmured in her sleep before carefully sliding from under her arm to sit on the edge of the bed.He picks up his spectacles and looks at the time on the advanced looking wall-clock which read 6:12am. He picks his shorts up from the ground, slips them on and heads to the bathroom to freshen up.About 15 minutes later, he steps out of the bathroom, h

Chapter 28; The Chosen One
As more murmur and chatter fill the room at this new revelation, the chubby man who just disrespected Tasha turns back to her and bows his head. “I apologize for my rudeness.”“It’s all good.” Tasha said with her usual sassy talk and Mrs Norman clears her throat loudly.“Mrs Dale. If you, please.” She said and Mrs Tasha nods as she takes over the console on the table, removing the holographic image of Levi and pulling up a surveillance of the library, the timeline revealing it to be the evening of the first class Levi went to.“As you all know…” She started off with a sudden professional tone. “The Cyber-Frame has been an object which we have yet been able to completely explore. And by Mrs Norman’s judgement, I was tasked with its sanctuary.”“Where exactly did you hide it all these years?” Mr Kishimoto asks and Tasha turns to him.“There is a secret sa

Chapter 29; Fate
Somewhere in central Africa, the late afternoon sun shines on a large warehouse located a slightly elevated hill some distance from the main road of a busy town……when the building suddenly shakes followed by a pained scream.Inside the dark warehouse, filled with old tech and some illegal items, two men look around in fear with handguns in their shaky hands.“Where is she?” One of them asked, frantic and nervous……just a subtle whirling sound was heard followed by a faint grey-coloured glow in the shadows. “We don’t get paid enough for this bull crap.” He mumbled, pointing his gun to the side……just as sudden groan and thud was heard behind him. He spins around and sees Wolf standing beside his accomplices’ unconscious body. The man shouted as he fired four bullets but Wolf moves with a blur, sparks flying as she uses her claws to slash through the bullets.And before he cou
