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

“We haven’t set eyes on the target sir,” the man with a scrawny face and a scar said to the phone “I gave you an order to find him and take care of it, don’t call me until you do so, got it?” Lincoln yelled at him as the car was coming to a halt.“We’ve arrived sir”, the driver said calmly as he came down to open the back door, gesturing that Lincoln could come down. There was an awful great amount of people walking into the symposium.“Pick me up soon,” he said to his driver before walking in as well. The place seemed to have a nice touch to it, the grandeur of the symposium meant that it was only for the rich. Lincoln made his way to a seat where he met an unfamiliar man whom he struck up a conversation with.“Did you get it done yet?” The man asked, adjusting his coat “Not yet, we’re still on the search but I trust my boys, they’ll do a good job” Lincoln answered bowing slightly forward.“Sir next to me then” the man answered looking calm with his glasses, his eyes watching the lad

The man's eyes had turned pale even as he sat with guards at close range and his beck and call. Lincoln looked scared, his eyes watching the road and looking back to see if he was ever being followed.“Sir, please do not worry too much about what happened,” one of the guards asked as he had watched for too long doing the same actions “Sure” Lincoln answered almost sarcastically, his hands still clenching onto the guard.The room felt too big even for him to sleep in “Please guard the doors, no one comes in or out of my room” Lincoln said as he lay on the master bed still quivering in fear. “Yes sir” the men answered before leaving the room “Didn’t I tell those morons to find him and kill him? Why is he around me?” Lincoln lamented before taking out his phone to make a call.“Hello, sir, we still have no eyes..” Kesper wanted to speak before he was interrupted “That bastard was in my house tonight, he was there, go over there and check it out, right now, I’m in a hotel” Lincoln said,

“All doors are clear sir” Kesper heard over the telecom “No sign of him yet” the others spoke into theirs as well “Okay, good job, boys, keep your eyes peeled,” Kesper said before sitting on the bare floor.“Will anyone tell me what’s happening here?” Lincoln said, standing with anxiety “Will you tell us the kind of system user we’re dealing with? And what did you do to make him so despicable?” Kesper asked wiping off the sweat from his face.“What do you mean by that?” Lincoln asked acting clueless “That thing that came after us, isn’t human, I can guarantee it, I doubt what he wears is a vest yet no bullet penetrated and to make matters worse he moves like air, lurking in the shadows” Kesper said, “He’s costing me, my men, three men dead from this mission, in one night, so tell me, what the hell are we fighting?” Kesper asked once again almost in a yell.“He’s the Ultimate user” Lincoln answered, his voice was low “What’s that?” Philly asked, his gun pointed towards the door “He’s t

Allen had his sights fixated on one thing at this time, revenge, even when Mrs Hugoi had tried advising him against it. It had become clearer to Allen that if he truly desired revenge, he would have to bring the whole system and hierarchy down, that’s when the idea struck him ‘If Palmer had a hand in wanting me killed, that must mean, they’re other people who are the higher-ups’ Allen thought to himself as he continued his daily quest.“How do we find him though?” James asked Kesper as he drove the van “We won’t have to find him, he’ll come to us” Kesper answered speeding up the vehicle.The room was filled with a crowd of people, heavy chattering of the men, playing games and laughing loudly, the men quickly noticed Kesper’s presence in the room.“Kesper! What brings you?” A bulky man with a scared face and tatted arms asked, his face with a grin “Cieto, my man” Kesper answered, his voice with happiness as he leaned onto his for a handshake and dab.“What’s good?” Cieto asked, his ey

Allen watched them from the comfort of where he sat, “Do they think they can set a trap with that?” He muttered to himself as he noticed how many they had begun after the reinforcements, he wasn’t just ready for them yet.The night had passed without any action or activity yet he watched them from where he sat in his control room ‘Master Allen, the cameras you asked for, I had put them at the right places as you suggested’ a young man’s voice echoed in his head as he remembered his instructions to him.“Good job Cameron, I know he frequents this hotel, just have them hung up in those places,” Allen said, his voice calm as he spoke to him “This has helped a lot, thanks a lot” he whispered to himself as he smiled as these men who were waiting for his arrival in the hotel.The sun had begun to rise and still, there was no sign of Kesper’s target, most of the men had fallen asleep due to exhaustion and boredom, that’s what Allen wanted, for them to be caught off guard.

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
