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

The darkness was overwhelming “He sounds like he’s in pain” Stephanie said, tears trickling down her face “Your brother is damned to die, I just wanted you to see him for the last time” William replied, his face with a smirk.“William!! Why is she here?” Allen asked, his shackles clinking “Why is my brother chained like an animal?” She asked looking at William with anger “Get her out of here!!!” Allen yelled “Your brother asked you to leave, don’t worry, you’ll see him again, out in the light” William answered grabbing her wrist.“No...no” Stephanie protested, struggling to get free from his grasp, his hold on her wrist had become even tighter, he pulled her till he was out of the room.“Your brother did not like to see you in there, he was angered, that’s progress,” William said with a cascading smile “What do you mean by that?” Stephanie asked, her eyes reddening “You’ll see, this is going to be just as fun” William said as he whispered for her to sleep.In the upper room, all the s

The enraged look in his eyes, as he advanced toward the police, gave off an eerie feeling. The police had now exhausted their bullets. Ultimate looked at his hand, filled with different kinds of bullets. “Step back!!” The policemen at the front yelled.Ultimate advanced even closer and closer, his body had begun to emanate some sort of steam, “That thing isn’t human, run if you can!!” One of the police officers said running backward releasing more rounds of bullets.“I do not need mere humans” Ultimate’s voice deepened, the armor was still up guarding every part of him, he had no remorse whatsoever for the people in front of him.Allen had begun to gain consciousness in the armor, Ultimate had begun to slow down, Allen could hardly see what was in front of him and all the police officers had exhausted their bullets except one.Allen had reached a vulnerable state, and that’s when a round was shot, hitting his leg “It penetrated” the other police officer exclaimed, “Get more rounds and

His eyelids felt too heavy for him to move them, finally, they were opened, and there was a tree branch over his head, he heard a humming sound, and at the same time his nose sniffed something delicious.Allen finally gained the strength to stand, he looked down at his body, it was all wrapped in bandages, just then, an older woman walked in, “Oh, you’re awake, how do you feel?” The woman asked putting down a bowl she held in her hand.“Master Allen, do you remember me?” The older lady asked, walking towards him “Who..are..you?” Allen asked as he felt a sharp pain in his head “Don’t push yourself too much, you may not remember me but I remember you” the woman added.“Here, have this, it’ll help in your recovery,” the woman said offering the bowl filled with a green-colored substance as she put it into his mouth “You don’t seem to mind the taste,” she said, a smile forming on her face “I’ve had worse so I could survive” Allen answered as he gained a little stamina to sit up straight.“

Allen’s eyes opened up again, the place was too dark, he tried sitting upright, but his hands were slippery “Where am I?” He asked struggling to gain his stamina “You’re in the tunnel” Mrs Hugoi answered as he fidgeted.“Huh?” Allen asked sweating profusely, his eyes as though he had woken from a nightmare “Master Allen” he heard her voice in the distance as he tried to gain full consciousness.“What happened?” A younger woman came rushing in and asked, her voice with a hint of fear “I think he’s having some sort of shock” Mrs Hugoi answered “Get me water and a towel” She added “Okay” the lady answered rushing into the deeper parts of the tunnel.Mrs Hugoi tried her best to calm the storm “It’s okay, you’ll be fine” she kept assuring him until he had stopped fidgeting “He must have gone through a lot for him to be like this” the younger lady pointed out as she held the bowl of warm water.“Well, that’s a story for another day” Mrs Hugoi replied, her eyes watching Allen in his deterio

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
