Allen slowly blinked, his vision blurry as he tried to piece together the fragments of the night before. The dim morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a soft glow on the unfamiliar room around him. With a groan, he attempted to push himself up from the bed, but a sharp, stabbing pain shot through the back of his head, causing him to wince and sink back down onto the pillow. Panic began to creep in as he realized he couldn't recall how he ended up here or what had happened to him. His heart raced, adrenaline coursing through his veins as he struggled to make sense of his surroundings and the throbbing ache in his skull. With a frustrated grunt, Allen clenched his jaw against the pain, his fingers curling around the edge of the sheet as he slowly dragged himself upright. As he surveyed the unfamiliar surroundings, his heart sank further into his chest. The room was devoid of any personal belongings or familiar touches, leaving him feeling disoriented and vulnerable.

As the ladies advanced toward Allen, he couldn't help but feel a sense of mesmerizing awe envelop him. Their approach was graceful, each step deliberate and confident. The way they moved seemed to command attention, drawing him in despite his initial dumbfounded state.It was then that Allen noticed the striking detail of their attire. Their body-tight suits hugged their forms like a second skin, accentuating every curve and contour. What truly caught his eye, however, were their eyes. Each woman possessed a pair of eyes in a distinct color, and remarkably, their suits matched the hue of their irises perfectly.The effect was both enchanting and otherworldly as if each woman embodied a different facet of the spectrum. One had eyes the color of sapphires, her suit a deep, rich blue that shimmered in the light. Another had eyes like emeralds, her suit a vibrant green that seemed to pulse with life.Allen wanted to back away but then he turned and saw that there were two persons on each

Allen was taken aback at the sudden uproar of laughter by the members of the order. He looked at both sides bewildered only to see them still clutching their bellies as most of them sprawled to the floor. His face flushed red with a mixture of anger and embarrassment. "Do you think this a game!" David said after he managed to suppress his laughter. "I can't remember my illusion," Allen blurted out to the hearing of all the members of the order, ignoring David and their mockery, the desperation in his voice obvious. "But I'm willing to do whatever it takes to prove my worth. Just tell me what I need to do, and I'll do it."A man suddenly materialized in front of Allen, his eyes narrowed. "So you're saying that you can't even remember why you're here? That's not very promising."Allen shook his head. "I know it's not. But please, give me a chance. I'll do anything you ask."The man studied Alex for a moment, and then a sly smile crept onto his face. "Very well. I'll give you a chance.

The door creaked open, and the guard's footsteps echoed through the room. Allen held his breath, praying that the guard wouldn't find him.Suddenly, he heard a soft thud, and the guard cried out. He peered out from behind the shelf, his eyes wide with shock. The guard was lying on the ground, unconscious. Standing over him was a man dressed in black with a sword in his hand."We don't have much time," the man said, his voice low and urgent. "Follow me."Allen hesitated, his mind racing. Who was this person? Why was he helping him? But he knew that he didn't have time to ask questions. He followed the man out of the room, keeping low to avoid detection.The man made his way through the maze of corridors, dodging guards and security cameras. The man moved with stealth and grace as if he knew the system like the back of his hand.Finally, the man reached a small, hidden passageway. He pushed open a heavy metal door and gestured for Allen to enter.Allen stepped into the passageway, and t

"You're not going to wake up from anything. Allen's breath caught in his throat as Raven's words sliced through the haze of his thoughts like a knife. The air around him seemed to thicken with tension, suffocating him in its oppressive embrace. He struggled against Raven's tight grip, the pressure on his neck a stark reminder of his vulnerability. Panic surged through him as he realized the gravity of the situation, he was trapped, ensnared in a web of deceit and betrayal.Despite the fear coursing through his veins, a flicker of defiance ignited within him. He refused to be a pawn in Raven's twisted game, to succumb to the darkness that threatened to consume him. With a surge of determination, he summoned every ounce of strength he possessed, pushing back against Raven's hold with a survival instinct."I changed my mind. I don't want to help you out anymore, I just want to get out of here." Allen's words hung heavy in the air, a defiant declaration that echoed through the dimly lit c

As Raven's grip began to loosen around Allen's neck, a sense of relief washed over him, but it was quickly replaced by a surge of disorientation as a bright light started to cloud his head. The intensity of the light seemed to grow with each passing moment, engulfing his thoughts and senses in a blinding haze. Allen struggled to maintain his focus, his mind racing with a mixture of fear and confusion. What was happening to him? Was this the end, or just the beginning of something even more surreal? Despite the chaos consuming him, Allen's instincts urged him to keep fighting, to cling to whatever shreds of clarity remained amidst the overwhelming brightness. "I said stop that now." Raven's desperate yells filled the air, his face was a mixture of fury and frustration as he struggled to maintain his grip around Allen's neck. Despite his best efforts, his strength waned with each passing moment, his muscles trembling with exertion and fatigue. The urge to control, to dominate, still bu

The men had finally gotten out of earshot and Allen's breathing had gone back to normal. He stood from where he lay and sat on the floor as he dragged his knees toward his chest and clutched it tightly. He sat there for a couple of minutes before he released his knees and crawled toward the covering to check if the men had already gone. The whole place was empty and looked safe enough for Allen to pass, he crawled outside and stood, still scanning the area for any sign of threat. He began to make his way in the direction where he thought the exit was but after hours of walking under the scorching sun that filtered into the thick canopy of trees, Allen realized that he had been going in circles. The thought of it sent frustration crashing at his insides and he tugged at his hair, his hold threatening to rip his hair from his scalp. The memories had come back to him a long while ago and that only added to his frustration. He stopped walking sank into a log that was on the floor and sp

As Allen gradually regained consciousness, the world around him seemed hazy and disorienting. The soft glow of his bedroom ceiling lamp greeted him as he blinked his eyes open, struggling to shake off the remnants of sleep. The last thing he remembered was the sensation of falling, a sudden jolt of pain, and then... nothing.With a groan, Allen pushed himself upright, his muscles protesting the movement. His head throbbed mercilessly, a sharp ache pulsating at the base of his skull. It felt as though his brain was trying to break free from its confines, each heartbeat sending waves of agony through his senses.Fighting back waves of nausea, Allen reached up to touch the source of his pain, his fingers trembling as they made contact with his scalp. The moment his hand brushed against the tender skin, a surge of discomfort shot through him, eliciting a sharp intake of breath.His heart pounding in his chest, Allen slowly withdrew his hand, his eyes widening in disbelief as he inspected

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
