Chapter 69; Wild Goose Chase
In the large briefing room, Levi looks around to take in the hundreds of agents filling the room, some known like his sister, Lucy and MJ’s father, Peter. He also caught the sight of Elsa, Alana who throws him a quick wink and Miguel who doesn’t respond to him most likely to keep their relationship a secret. Finally, the agents in charge of the briefing step onto the stage in front of the room, they were 3 in number, comprising of Nina, Francis and the head of the Index security, John who was in the form of a hologram. The four heads of the Index were present as well with the chairman, Mr Griffon all in holographic forms. John steps forward and speaks up, his tone and words commanding attention. “For those unaware of recent updates, let me start with this. The Black Empire still exists.” Some murmurs spread out in the room but John’s voice drowns them out, instantly. “They faked their disbandment and have been working under the radar for years now. We recently began investigatio

Chapter 70; Target's Diary
The mission was a success. The base was secured with all Empire forces successfully captured with barely any injuries to the Index agents talk less of a casualty.So this is a win for the Index… or it should be a win… if not for the fact that this big operation was nothing more than a wild goose chase. It was until the agents returned to their home base, that the full details were given by Mr Griffon’s other personal guard, Trent. The ‘base’ they just captured was a fake, a trick created by the Empire to distract them.Even as they fought, most of the agents noticed that some of the men they captured weren’t even armed or skilled in combat and the ones that were armed were amateurs.Most of those men were just hired goons, guys who were only in it for the cash and had no idea who they were working with and what their plans were. Only a select few of the individuals like the beastly tron Levi and Lucy fought earlier was a genuine member of the Empire but as far as they know, they wer

Chapter 72; Target's Diary 3
It’s still around 5 am in the morning as two figures continue to interact, seated by a ledge in the thick South American forest.Nina takes in a deep breath as she looks at the sky above, a smile on her face as she recalls her past. “Heh… Man, was I naïve then. Those years training with Mr Patrick were nothing compared to the few years I started in the military. And when I thought I was finally getting the hang of it, I met one of the most hard-headed men I’ve ever known.”Read more

Chapter 74; Difficult Place
Back in the base around 6:50 am, all agents present for the Empire mission were paying attention to an officer with the holograms of Mr Griffon and Trent seen on the small stage.Both Veronica and Vivian suddenly sniff the air and turn with the rest of their friends where their collective shadows on the wall darkens and widens just as Levi, Lucy, Nina and Kenji step out of it. “Finally. Where were you guys?” MJ asked, staring at Nina and Levi who shared a little smile and shrugged.Kenji steps forward, his eyes fixed on the stage ahead as he speaks. “Did we miss anything?”“Just boring stuff.” Mary sighed heavily and Kenji raised a brow at her just as Amanda speaks.“They’re just giving us the details on how the Empire managed to break through security.”“They used some kind of device that enhances the ability of trons beyond its normal limits.” Hana commented and Lucy speaks as she folds her arms over her chest.“So that’s what that was. I knew that weird collar looked familiar.” Wh

That night, all the finalists as well as some of the other students boarded a plane which flew them back to the Russia.By morning, the long awaited WTT final round had arrived, the ‘Main Event’ according to people. And even though rumours of the Empire had already begun to spread, the world didn’t stop them from this one in a lifetime opportunity.The Southern bus finally pulls up to the Southern entrance but unlike a month ago, the entrance was now surrounded by fans and supporters. “Whoa.” Levi mumbled, staring at the crowd screaming out to them. After the bus comes to a stop, the students stepped out all casually dressed to be greeted by cheers and screams on both sides of the entrance. They walk towards the entrance, a velvet rope separating them and the fans most likely people who have witnessed their ‘heroics’ during their missions. “This is…interesting.” Jake chuckled a little as he turned to a set of girls who screamed out at him.“Hello ladies.” Craig said as he flicked hi

Chapter 76; A Sight For The Masses
It’s exactly 9:10 am in Russia and every screen in the world was tuned into the tournament with excited eyes.The host, Justin taps some options on his tablet and pulls up a page on the screen where the names of all candidates were displayed before speaking.“Among our 16 finalists, we have 2 from the Western Branch, 3 from the Eastern Branch, 4 from the Northern and 7 from the Southern Branch.” The crowd cheers again just as Miss Balalaika speaks.“The rules of this round are simple. It’s going to be a bracket-drawn set of one-on-one battles. The fighters are free to use whatever gears in their arsenal and the winner is chosen when his/her opponent forfeits or can no longer continue the battle.”A set of worried comments began to spread not just among the crowd but the fighters too but Miss Balalaika’s next words, silences them. “To prevent any fatalities or serious injuries, the battles will be done within a Ghost-mode barrier.”The crowd murmurs in confusion and Justin quickly jump

Cheers ring from the tournament as the 7th match between Deeva and Reaper began to get interesting. Justin speaks enthusiastically into the mic.“Looks like we have ourselves a cat fight here! Who do you think will come out on top?!” Miss Balalaika just smirks as Hana continues to glare at her opponent.MJ jumps up from her seat and screams out. “Come on, Hana! Kick her sorry butt all the way back to C class!” Craig scoffs with arms folded over his chest. “You never cheered for me, MJ.” Craig grumbled.Mary chuckles to herself, making Craig throw her a suspicious glare. She then winces when MJ screams out again. “Why is everyone so loud?” Mary mumbled. Jake and Levi just stare in concentration as Hana continues to watch Deeva cautiously…just as she began to move forward slowly…“Reaper’s making her move.” Justin commented as Reaper continues to walk forward.Deeva remains unmoved by Hana’s tactic and suddenly, Hana stops, a determined look on her face.She stomps the ground, once aga

Chapter 78; Surpass 2
A moment of silence hangs in the air as the dust cloud settles with a literal Titan searching the dust below for any movements… just as she stumbles back, staring at the small figure below who pushed her back. “Is that all you got?” MJ grumbled, a hand wiping the dust from her face and her clothes covered in dust. Titan grins at MJ below, cracking her knuckles with a loud pop just as MJ leaps into the air, energy radiating from her fists.MJ suddenly blocks a punch from Titan, the impact sends her crashing into the barrier around them…Titan then attempts to punch her again but MJ bounces off the barrier and rolls onto Titan’s arm before leaping forward and throwing a kick into Titan’s face, causing her to stumble back. Titan then grunts as she grabs MJ in her hand and glares at her.“I’m tired of this.” Titan grumbled. MJ gasps as Titan hurls her into the air...before dealing her a series of punches while moving around her and for someone of her size, it was impressive to see how f
