As Allen stepped out of the crumbling building, a rush of gratitude flooded over him, knowing he had narrowly escaped a potentially fatal fate. He could still hear the loud crashing sounds of the structure collapsing behind him, a chilling reminder of how close he had come to disaster. With each step toward the waiting car, his heart pounded in his chest, a mixture of fear and relief coursing through his veins. The urgency of the situation propelled him forward, his movements quick and decisive. As he reached the car, he practically threw himself inside, his breath coming in ragged gasps. "Where are we going?" the driver inquired, glancing at Allen through the rearview mirror. "Take me to my home!" Allen commanded, his voice firm with determination, and With a trembling voice, he ordered the driver to get them far away from the crumbling ruins as fast as humanly possible. Without a moment's hesitation, the driver shifted gears and accelerated in the direction of Allen's residence

"Good heavens, what on earth is going on here?" Allen exclaimed in disbelief as he surveyed the area. Making a beeline for his safe, he anxiously rummaged through its contents, desperately searching for the whereabouts of the copy of the drive he had stashed away. Allen meticulously combed through every corner of the room, methodically checking every possible hiding spot for the drive, but it remained frustratingly elusive. With each passing moment, his worry mounted, gnawing at his insides as the drive continued to evade his grasp. Frustration crept in, mingling with his growing concern, as the realization sank in that the drive was nowhere to be found. Pausing in his search, Allen's mind raced, considering the disturbing fact that someone had broken into his house. He tried to piece together who might have had the motive and means to break into his house and leave the place as an eyesore. "Who could have broken in here?" Allen said aloud, his voice tinged with a mixture of frustr

Allen burst out of the house as if he was being chased by a big and deadly monster. He didn't even take a second to shut the door tight behind him because he knew that Marcel, who could sneak in even when it was locked, would have no trouble getting inside now that it was wide open. Every step he took away from the house made his heart beat faster, and he couldn't shake the feeling of fear that gripped him. Allen quickly scanned both sides of the street, hoping to catch a glimpse of his sister. His heart pounded in his chest as he muttered anxiously, "Where is she? I... I can't see her." The panic in his voice mirrored the frantic search in his eyes as he desperately sought any sign of his sister. —She's in one of those cars.— Ultimate informed him. Allen's head snapped up as he spotted four cars speeding ahead. Without hesitation, he dashed to his car and got into the back seat so that he could communicate with Ultimate as he pleased without drawing the driver's attention. The m

—First mission reactivated— said Ultimate. Allen couldn't take his eyes off the screen. He was super focused, not even blinking. The light from the screen made his face look weird. —Here are two power-ups button, pick one and complete your first mission. And remember if you succeed, your account will be credited with $200,000,000.— Allen suddenly froze, remembering the first day he had found Ultimate. "With determination in his voice, Allen asked, "So what do I do?" His eyes gleamed with anticipation. —The mission is for you to rescue your sister and get those girls back to safety. There are two power-ups to aid your mission. The blue power-up is to increase the speed of the car and get to those cars, the second power up which is the red holds a secret weapon inside— Allen's gaze fixed on the red power-up button displayed on the screen as he pondered its purpose. With a furrowed brow, he asked, "What is the red power-up for?" Curiosity tinged his voice, a hint of apprehensio

As Allen held the scattered nails, frustration surged through him like a tempest, twisting his features into a mask of irritation. He could feel the tension mounting, coiling like a spring within him, as he clenched his fists and tugged at his hair in exasperation. With a sharp inhale, he bellowed, "What the hell am I supposed to do with these nails?" Every breath he took felt charged with electricity, fueling the fire of his vexation. His mind raced, desperately seeking a solution amidst the chaos of scattered thoughts. The driver, his eyes flicking to the rearview mirror, caught sight of Allen's agitated state. With a practiced hand, he adjusted the mirror to get a better view, concern etched into his features. "Is everything alright back there, sir?" he inquired, his voice laced with genuine concern, despite the steady hum of the vehicle's engine. Allen's response was curt, his focus still fixated on the perplexing pile of nails before him. "Yes, yes. Just keep on driving,"

When Allen saw Marcel's smug smile, the blood left his cheeks. "Well, well, well," Marcel chuckled as he scanned Allen with a glittering hunger. "Look who decided to attend the festivities. Puppet boy, I didn't think you had the bravery to show your face." Allen forced himself to swallow, smothering the surge of fear that was attempting to overwhelm him. Stephanie looked at him with a mix of hope and terror, her face pale and streaked with tears. The image of his sister fanned the flames inside him. He refused to allow them to have her back. With a hoarse voice, Allen shouted, "Don't touch her." That was all he could manage, but the words came out more frenzied than intimidating. Marcel laughed aloud, the noise echoing over the lonely beach. "How are you going to handle that? You? A sad nobody who has nothing except a few corroded nails?" Allen took offense at his sarcasm, but he wouldn't back down. He fixed his gaze on the men around Stephanie and the other girls, their faces

Through the little tunnel, Allen staggered aimlessly, the wet sand sticking to his perspiration-dampened clothing. Who was she? A rescuer? A collaborator? A further layer of stress was added to the already dire circumstances as uncertainty tore at him. The only source of light was the dim glow coming from the end of the tunnel, which served as a beacon to help them navigate the oppressive darkness. After what seemed like a lifetime, the passageway eventually opened into a little cave. Allen let out a gasp. He had never seen a face like the woman's. Her eyes were an unpleasant shade of silver that appeared to slice right through him, and her features were harsh and angular. Her hair fell down her back in a waterfall of glistening silver strands. "Who are you?" Allen croaked, smoke inhalation making his voice harsh. He felt a chill go down his spine as the lady studied him with intense intent and her silver eyes stayed mute for a time. At last, she spoke something in a melodious w

Around Allen, the world whirled, and he began to see images of long-forgotten past periods and incredible power. With the weight of Elara's cryptic words bearing down on him, he struggled to gather himself. Having stated, "Chosen," For what purpose were they chosen? Why not him? The strange walls of the cavern hardened, and the otherworldly light vanished to show a more normal light coming in through gaps high above. His fear faded and was replaced with a chilly dread. Elara had vanished. Neither she nor the hidden route going from the cave was visible. He was by himself. His lungs were stung by the fire's aftereffects, causing him to cough violently. He examined his arm, screwing up one eye at the pulsating discomfort. He had to figure out how to get out of this realm and return to his surroundings. But where should one begin? His eyes focused on the cavern's center, where a whirling vortex was visible. It surged with a strength he could almost taste, captivating and seductive. He

Allen quickly dodged the bullet, thanks to Ultimate who had easily pointed out where he would shoot from. "Try again in hell," Allen said and a gun was shot at Moses on his hand, making his gun drop. Everyone averted their gazes to the door and saw two familiar men standing there, Sylvester Williams and David, the last two users. "One thing I hate the most is to be fooled and you all fooled me," Williams said and stepped forward. "All these years, I believed my death would bring calmness to the world. I thought I was doing it for the good and safety of this world. I even went as far as hunting down the other users just to satisfy you. I should have known better."Lake and Mike tried to attack but they got shot instantly by Mary and Josh who both walked in together. "I hope I am not too late?" Mary asked and crocked her gun. "You- you should be dead," Lake said, groaning in pain. "Unfortunately, I am not. I am your nemesis and that's why I survived," Mary answered and pointed her

The hall became silent as they all had their eyes on him. Suddenly, one of them stood up and smirked. "Allen Scott, we have been expecting you. You came right to us," he said. Allen crocked his gun and pointed it at him. "Yes. And I am here to end this nonsense. Enough with all his. You all have hunted our lives for years but today, all this is going to end."The man clicked his tongue and shook his head. "Do you think all these would be the end?""I don't think. I know. Besides, no one is going to save any of you. The agents are gone."The man averted his gaze to Moses and shook his head. "You finally got them. I am sure you told them about you being the good guy and we being the bad guy."Allen drew his brows and looked at Moses who had no expression on his face. He immediately knew what Mary said was true. They were to be trusted and for that, he wasn't surprised. "Mr Scott, do you believe everything this man told you?" Allen looked at Moses again and smirked. "Why shouldn't I

Mary noticed the man secretly smiling at someone behind her and when she turned, she saw it was George. Her heart skipped a bit. He was smoking back at them but in a way that said 'good job,' she swallowed hard and looked at the men as her instinct immediately pointed at George as a member of the group that attacked them. She quickly shook her head and tried to brush off her thought. "No, George wouldn't do this. He is part of this team and has been a loyal member," she concluded inwardly and glanced at him one more time. This time, she noticed he was staring back at her with a frown plastered on his face. He stared for a while before he let out a small smile.She gulped nervously and looked away. "This can't be. George can't be part of them," she said and stood up, bringing everyone's attention to her. "What is wrong?" Allen asked, staring at her with concern. She looked at George again who had his brows creased. She couldn't take away the thought that he could be one of them an

"Tomorrow?" Josh asked with his eyes stretched wide. He walked forward and went on, "What do you mean tomorrow? We aren't prepared to face this people. We would need more time.""Mr Gregory," Moses called, taking Josh by surprise because he never expected him to know his name. Moses went on, "It was a quick date fixed and I have no power to stop it. The project society are been too anxious and that would be our greatest weapon against them.""Greatest weapon? In what way would we win this fight when I don't even have a clue of what you are talking about?""They are moving quick. Tomorrow is the day for the project," Lake answered."How is that possible? We haven't been caught by them," Josh asked, stepping forward."They have you all where they want you. They will come over to take you tonight."Allen drew his brows in confusion. "What do you mean? How do they have us right where they want?""Do you think the society are dumb? They know where you all are. They have been monitoring you

Steph abruptly stood up, shocked to see her standing there. She swallowed hard and asked nervously, "how long have you been there?""For a while," she answered and walked in completely. "There is someone who wants to meet you," she said and quickly walked out of the room. Steph sighed deeply and faced Allen who stood quietly, staring at the closed door. "She heard us. I feel so bad," she muttered."Let me go and meet this guests of mine," he answered dryly and walked out of the room. "This guy is messed up," she muttered and went after him. They got to the living room and Allen drew his brows, seeing the strange faces in the living room. As he drew closer, they all stood up. "Hello, Mr Scott," they greeted in unison.He got closer and stood before them. "Hello to you too. How may I help you?" He asked. "I am Moses Banks, this man beside me," he pointed at the man by his right side. "Is Lake Hall. And the second here is Dennis. We are all aware of your position as the subject been

"Brother I-" Steph barged into the room and her words hung in her throat when she saw Allen and Mary jerked up. Just when their lips met, they got distracted. Steph who had noticed what they were doing, looked down embarrassed. "I am sorry for barging in this way," she apologized. Allen's eyes stretched wide, realizing what he had done with Mary. He looked at her and noticed she looked embarrassed and was trying not to look at anyone. He cursed inwardly and rubbed the back of his neck "What happened to me? What was I about to do?" He asked, mad at himself. "I can come back later. It's not important," Steph said and made to leave but Mary stopped her. "You don't have to go anywhere, Steph. I am about to leave," she said and hurried out in embarrassment. Immediately she did, Steph's lips curled up into a smile as she faced her brother. "Big bro, what is going on?" She asked cheekily. Allen rubbed his neck and sat on his bed. He was still trying to figure out what had happened to

All of them stared at him, surprised to see a different person. Allen let out a deep breath and stood up. "I have gone through the first step of my plan and that is going to Josh's company. I've been able to convince someone important to join me."Josh drew his brows, wondering who he was referring to as the important person. "Who is that?""I will let you know when the time comes," he answered. "So what is your next plan?" Steph asked, worried about her brother and at the same time, glad he wasn't having so much anger that she thought would ruin him. "I will be visiting the safe very soon. I think my money is long over due there," he answered. "Are you crazy!" Steph and Maryjane chorused at the same time, with their eyes popped open. "Why would you plan to do that when you know the situation surrounding you?" Dr Thompson asked. "I won't be able to do this on my own. I will need all your help but you don't have to worry, no one would be in danger because this. I have a plan and

Allen looked intently but found nothing. He drew his brows and looked at the old man. "What do you want me to see there? There is nothing except water," he answered. "Look carefully."Allen strained his eyes, trying to see what he was talking about but there was nothing. Was the old man imagining something there? It could be possible because his sight most have gone bad, he thought."There is nothing there," He answered, confident about it.The old man clicked his tongue and gave him a light got on his shoulder. "That is what you think. It is because you allow your eyes are what you want it to see. Look deeper and you will find what I am showing you."Allen looked closely and it took a while before he saw something floating on the water. "What is that?" He asked. "That is something I put on the water. Don't worry, I will get it out," he answered and laughed. Allen wondered why he didn't notice t at first. The old man laughed to his heart content and faced him again. "You see, not

Allen drove down the road, heading for his villa. His first mission for the day was accomplished and that was getting Mr Benson to his side. Getting the others would be easy. He suddenly took a different turn, heading for the beach instead. "Why are you going to the beach?" Ultimate asked. "I need a time to myself. I have a lot going on and all I can think of right now is bringing the project Erubus society down. My anger is really overwhelming me and now, I am really worried," he answered and let out a deep breath. "Every one keeps telling me to calm down and not make wrong decisions because of my emotions. I think they are right. I need to calm down so I can handle this mission as calmly as I can.""That's a great step, Allen. Anger is a strong feeling of displeasure, hostility towards someone, usually with an urge to harm. It's good you decide to calm yourself down."Allen laughed at how ultimate read out the meaning of anger to him. He focused his attention on the road until he
