Allen agreed to let himself be transported back to the realm where they had been earlier. It scared him at first when Ultimate told him that he had rivals who would go to any length just to see that they see him suffer before eventually taking him out. And the worst was that they had trapped him in a trance that was on a loop, his days were on a continuous repeat but he wasn't aware of it and the fact that this was possible only heightened his fear. "What do I do to wake up?" Allen asked the moment they had been transported back to his room. —A lot of things, Allen, a whole lot of things.— ultimate responded. "Get me started on them, do I need to take a note to jot them down or something?" —You don't need that, first of all, your rivals do not know yet that you've found out about being a trance, and two, they don't know that I'm no longer in their possession— "So we're on a good start, aren't we?" Allen asked, his tone was etched in apprehension that he was barely breathing

"Oops!" Was not the word Allen had meant to say but that was what spilled out from his mouth. He had not the slightest intuition that he was going to find the machine this soon and now that he had not found it, he had no words to describe the monstrosity of the machine. In the center of the room, a monolithic machine towered over the space, its metal exterior etched with cryptic symbols pulsated with a malevolent energy. The machine's surface appeared to shift and writhe, like a living entity, as if it was alive and feeding off the darkness within.Glowing red eyes, like embers from a malevolent fire, burn bright as they surveil the room, casting an eerie glow on the walls. The air around the machine seemed to distort as if reality itself was warped by its presence.Tendrils of wires, like snakes, slither across the floor, connecting the machine to a series of ancient computers, their screens flickering with code that seems to pulse with dark power. The air was heavy with the scent

Suddenly, the machine emitted a deafening roar, its metal casing bursting apart as a massive explosion ripped through the room. Allen felt himself lifted off the ground, his body hurled backward as the blast wave struck him with incredible force.He landed hard on the floor, his head spinning as he struggled to comprehend what had just happened. But as he sat up, a searing pain shot through his face, and he knew something was wrong.His hands flew to his cheeks, and he felt a wave of horror as he realized that part of his face was burned, the skin charred and blackened by the intense heat of the explosion.Allen's vision blurred as he stumbled to his feet, his mind reeling with shock and agony. He staggered backward, his eyes fixed on the smoldering ruins of the machine as if unable to believe what had just occurred.The room was in shambles, the walls cracked and broken, the air thick with the acrid smell of smoke and burning metal. And Allen's face... his face was a burning, throbbi

The hospital doors burst open as the paramedics rushed Allen into the emergency ward, his body battered and bruised. The medical team sprang into action, surrounding him with a flurry of activity."Get him on the table, now!" a doctor yelled, as they quickly transferred Allen to a gurney.A nurse began to cut away his clothes, revealing the extent of his injuries. "Oh my god," she gasped, her eyes widening in shock.A doctor stepped forward, his face set in a determined expression. "Let's get to work. We need to stabilize him, stat!"The team moved with precision, their hands moving swiftly as they inserted IVs, attached monitors, and administered medication. Allen's eyes fluttered open, his gaze darting wildly around the room."Hey, Allen, can you hear me?" a nurse asked, her voice soft and reassuring. "You're safe now. We've got you."Allen's eyes locked onto hers, his mouth opening in a silent scream as the pain and chaos overwhelmed him.The medical team continued their work, thei

Allen lay in bed, his mind racing with fragmented memories. He stared at the ceiling, trying to piece together his past. The nurse had told him his name, but that was about it. He had no idea who he was, where he came from, or what his life was like before the hospital.As the hours passed, Allen's memories slowly began to return. But there were still gaps, and he couldn't shake the feeling that something important was missing.The hospital staff was kind and supportive, but they were tight-lipped about his past. "You need to rest and recover," they'd say. "You'll remember everything in time."But Allen was impatient. He wanted answers now. He wanted to know who had brought him to the hospital, and why. He wanted to know what had happened to him.But no one was allowed to see him yet, except for the medical staff. The doctor had ordered complete isolation, citing Allen's fragile state.So Allen lay in bed, his mind spinning with questions, with no one to turn to for answers. He felt l

Allen's eyes snapped open in the darkened hospital room. He lay still for a moment, listening to the steady beep of the machines surrounding him. He was tired of this place, tired of the constant questions and the endless tests. He just wanted to go home.But every time he asked to be discharged, the doctors and nurses would shake their heads. "Not yet, Mr. Allen," they would say. "You're not ready."Allen threw off the covers and swung his legs over the side of the bed. He was ready. He had to get out of here.He slowly got to his feet, his head spinning slightly. He took a deep breath and began to make his way across the room, his eyes fixed on the door.As he reached the doorway, he hesitated. The hallway was dimly lit, but he could see the nurses' station at the far end. He knew they would stop him if they saw him trying to leave.Allen took a deep breath and stepped out into the hallway. He moved quickly and quietly, his heart pounding in his chest.He reached the elevators and p

Allen's eyes fluttered open, his mind foggy and disoriented. He was met with darkness, and a wave of pain washed over him, threatening to engulf him. His face felt like it was on fire, and he couldn't help but groan.He tried to move, but his body felt heavy and unresponsive. He was lying on a narrow bed or table, and his wrists and ankles were bound to it.As he struggled to remember where he was and how he got there, Allen's hand instinctively went to his pocket. To his surprise, his fingers closed around a familiar shape - sunglasses.He pulled them out, confusion etched on his face. How did they get there? He didn't remember having them before.Allen's pain-addled brain struggled to make sense of it, but he was too hurt to care. He just wanted the agony to stop.With a Herculean effort, Allen managed to put on the sunglasses, the frames digging into his sore skin. But as he did, something strange happened. The darkness seemed to recede, and he could see his surroundings more clear

Allen's body convulsed on the floor, his eyes scrunched shut behind the sunglasses. He was gasping for breath, his chest heaving with sobs.A woman cane forward, dressed in what seemed like a lab coat and stared at Allen with contempt. Her voice cut through the air, irritation etched in her tone. "That's enough, Mr. Allen. Stop pretending."But Allen couldn't stop. The memories kept coming, a relentless barrage of images and emotions that threatened to tear him apart.The other people in the room exchanged skeptical glances. "He's faking it, Dr. Taylor." one of them said to the woman. Dr. Taylor's expression turned cold. "Mr. Allen, I warn you. Stop this charade immediately."But Allen's body continued to shake, his face contorted in anguish. He was beyond control, lost in a maelstrom of memories that refused to let him go."Stop it!" Dr. Taylor's voice rose to a shout. "Stop it now!"But Allen couldn't stop. He was trapped in a living nightmare, and the memories just kept coming.O

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
