The darkness was overwhelming, her eyes were closed and restricted for a long time, the light emanating from the window pierced through her eyelids forcing her eyes open, Stephanie felt scared, her hands bound to a chair, her feet as well.Her struggle was futile, she couldn’t even see the person standing right in front of her “You have done well Marv” the voice said, the man in front of her was confident, too much for her liking “My brother will find me” Stephanie blurted out still attempting to free herself.“That’s what we want,” the man said cackling, Stephanie’s blood ran cold, and her hands began to shiver “What do you mean?” She asked, her voice piercing the ears of the men “We want him to find you sweetheart, then we’ll kill him, you’ll both die here” the man said in another cackle.His voice scared her even more, her voice had become even more shaky, “No… don’t hurt my brother” she said in tears “I’m not sure you have the freedom to care about him right now, pumpkins” The man

The men had started losing hope that they could win “Finish him off!!” The scarred man yelled. He seemed even more angry as he noticed that his henchmen couldn’t even lay a hand on Allen.Allen’s speed had increased, more so, his combat skills, he kept punching, moving swiftly as wind not minding who would be hit next. Soon after, the men were on the floor, groaning, they were in pain.Allen couldn’t stop smiling “Ultimate is amazing, fighting this many people is now a piece of cake” He muttered to himself as he dragged the last henchman by his collar towards the scrawny man.“You all are weak!!!” The man yelled, taking the dark jacket off his shoulders, his tatted skin looked just as scary as his face, and his eyes were full of rage, he walked towards Allen “I have been waiting for this opportunity, Allen Scott” the man said, his eyes focused on his target.“I don’t even know you, I can’t remember who you are” Allen replied, clenching his fists “But if it’s a fight you want, it’s a f

David paced around his office pondering about Allen’s words, which may be right “What if he’s being attacked by one of us?” David muttered to himself as a figure walked through the open door.“McKinney, you asked for me?” William said, his voice was calm “Oh Yes, please, sit” David said, pointing to the chair right in front of his desk, William pulled out the chair and had a seat.“I spoke with him yesterday,” David said, his hands clasped together “Who? Allen?” William asked, leaning backward towards his chair so he could be comfortable.“And what feedback did you receive from him?” William asked “He said his family was attacked,” David said as he was sighing “Attacked?!!” William exclaimed leaning forward, there was a surprise look on his face, “He’s fine anyways” David said, his eyes were low and calm.“Well, did you speak to him afterward?” William asked with keen interest “He suspects us, our kind” David said, standing up, he started pacing about “He doesn’t trust us” David added

Allen was in his new home, far from the troubles of the bubbling town he once stayed in, one that almost got him killed. In his room, he dashed Stephanie’s phone as well for fear of a tracking device or even worse a hidden recorder.He walked downstairs to have breakfast, the night before was quite hectic even for him, his sister was already at the dining table waiting for the chef’s food “Your food is quite tasty, Mrs Hugoi” Stephanie said, her face lighting up.“You like her food, don’t you?” Allen said from the top of the stairs, his night robe leaving his chest bare “I’ll have coffee” he said to the woman with an apron. “Okay sir, and thank you, Miss Stephanie,” the woman said, boiling some water for the coffee being asked for.Allen wanted to enjoy a quiet life, far away from people he knew, even though he missed one person, the girl with ash brown hair and die-shaped eyes, Ellen. Although he hadn’t visited her in a while and currently destroyed his phone, he had a photographic m

David kept pondering about what the man had spoken about, he wasn’t sure he understood fully what he meant but he was serious. David picked up his phone, dialing William’s phone number. He didn’t pick up on the first ring and not even on the second but the third call went through and William answered the phone.“Hello, McKinney, is there a problem?” William asked, “Well I think there is a bit of an issue” David answered, although his voice was low and even calm, his expression wasn’t, it was as though he was scared of some sort.“What is it? I’m sure it’s about Allen” William continued his voice was calm “I’m on my way” he added. On getting to David’s office, he saw the man with hands folded behind his back, his eyes focused on the scenario out of the office window.“I came as soon as I could, what could be the pressing issue?” William asked walking over to David “Master Lincoln was here” David answered, William paused, “What, what does he want?” He asked “We’re going hunting” David a

Allen tried enjoying the nice evening with his sister, constantly staring at the people on the screen, watching a movie “So..how did it go?” Stephanie asked, her face lifted to watch her brother’s reaction.“How did what go?” Allen asked sounding unbothered, his eyes fixed on the television, his fingers in the bowl of popcorn “Are you acting clueless right now?” Stephanie asked, lifting her head from his thighs.“Why are you so curious?” Allen asked, focused on the show in front of him, “Let’s watch the movie, okay?” He said to his sister, her eyes watching him “Anyways, the date wasn’t so bad, she’s okay with going out again” Allen finally said burning his face in the popcorn.“Really!!! Then why didn’t you want to tell me?” Stephanie asked in a high tone, her eyes gleaming as though she had acquired a lottery “Well, you’re looking for the details, something I don’t think I’m cut out for” Allen answered smiling as he watched his sister.“I’m happy with whatever decision you make brot

Allen drove as fast as he could recalling the voice that had spoken on the phone “You need to go there, talk to David, don’t let him find you first” The voice sounded urgent, and not care if his life would be in danger, he pressed down the accelerator, clutching on to the steering wheel so tightly.“Miss, there are some people outside the house saying they want to see Master Allen,” the elderly woman said to Stephanie as she munched on her lunch “Tell them my brother isn’t home” she answered not having too much thought of it.“I have already informed them but they’re still outside, still insisting on seeing him” the woman answered, her hands clasped together “I’ll call Allen,” Stephanie said as she walked to her room “Go to your rooms and lock the doors, now” she added as she put her brother on speed dial.“Hello, Allen,” Stephanie said with a bit of fear in her voice “Hey, is everything alright?” Allen asked, stopping the car “No, everything’s not alright, there are some scary men at

The house was in flames, yet Stephanie was safe, pacing around, sorting for some sort of solution “I don’t even know what’s happening outside, where’s brother?” She asked, her voice was haughty and she was almost in tears.“You seem composed, Allen,” the man in the driver seat said, his voice mocking “Will you keep quiet or do you want me to shut your mouth?” William asked, his voice with a hint of anger “Focus on the road and drive” he demanded “Yes sir” the man answered clenching the steering wheel.“I’m not sure why the master has so much interest in you Allen but I can guess why, you’re a mysterious one,” William asked looking over his shoulder to watch Allen.“I have no idea what you’re talking about” Allen replied staring at the window. “I hope she’s okay,” he thought to himself.Stephanie had already accepted her fate, she was trapped in her room without knowing what was happening outside, she didn’t want to know at that point. The flames had already been put out by the wind an

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
