Guzman was not expecting the knock to be from a student and most of all one who had just returned from outside the school premises with Sullivan Nathan. He asked immediately, “What are you doing here Tingzhe? Aren’t you supposed to be resting?” “I can’t rest, sir.” With that response, Guzman quickly concluded that it was because he had lost a friend and probably was seeing his spirit, so he said, “It’s okay, you will get over it in a matter of time.” Ling understood where he was driving with those words and it was totally off from what he was thinking, so he had to state his reason for coming to this office, which was also the reason why he couldn't find himself sleeping. “Actually sir, it is not what you think,” saying that he got Guzman’s attention as he continued. “I really need to see Trisha.” That request gave Guzman a shock as he didn’t expect that from him. “What for?” Guzman asked him, curious to know his reason. “Ummm,” he stuttered. “If seeing her will make you rest, th
Minute passed after Stan said those words, yet there was no response from Adoth and that made him feel very devastated that he saw himself as a failure once again. He was beginning to see himself from a different perspective after getting to know Adoth, the hope he lost was restored by Adoth but now all hopes were lost, and this time he did not only fail himself according to his view, he also saw it as though he failed the entire human race because a task was give given to him.Tears rolled down his cheek as he prepared his heart towards death as he knew that nothing could be done to stop the council from passing negative judgment upon him. He began to think of the afterlife and how he would get to his parents once again.[It is not over yet. Get some rest.] Adoth finally said something to him after he was far into his thoughts, waiting for the morning to come for them the council to do that which they had always longed for.Well, the response came late, it was at a very wrong time a
Few minutes into the hearing, after Sullivan Nathan and two others that went outside the school with him had finished speaking based on what they knew, claiming that Stan was the one that killed Rudo. The judges of the case, which included Preston Osborne, Guzman Ronald and one other leader in the academy had to put their heads together as they deliberated on what their judgment would be, there was a voice from the audience.“I have something to say.” The voice was loud and could be traced to a direction, so all eyes turned to the direction which the voice had come from so as to see who was about to disrupt the process.Lo, it was Trisha who had said those words, she stood to her feet so that they would all see her as she stepped forward while all eyes were still fixed on her.“What does she think she is doing?” Atkinson whispered to Sullivan. “Sir, is this allowed here?” Sullivan asked his superiors who were about to pass judgment before the interruption.“Trisha, aren’t you suppos
Stan Gibson was left in the hall while a lot of people exit to observe the break which was given as Sullivan led a crew with the leaders to investigate the corpse and confirm whether truly Rudo’s chip was harvested and when it was harvested.Ling and Trisha did not leave the hall as they were sure according to what they saw that Rudo was not harvested of his chip, so Sullivan’s claim was bound to be proved false. The both of them then drew close to the desk where Stan was sitting and guarded by two mighty men.As they came close to him, he was now the one to speak first as he had seen from their earlier actions that they really meant well for him and had tried all their best to make sure he did not face a death sentence. “Thank you.” that was all he could say at the moment.“We’ll make sure death is not pronounced on you.” Ling promised him as he was ready to do the unlawful if things went the other way round.“You have done your best and I really appreciate it but there is no way yo
With everyone running up and down to see what had caused the explosion, Stan was left in the court still in chains. The judges who were also the heads of the academy had to put the school as their number one priority as they had a lot of young students to account for.Meanwhile, Trisha looked at Ling with a strange eye because of the words which he had said earlier about doing the unlawful thing just to make sure Stan was not killed. So the explosion seemed to be what he had planned.As lIng noticed the way Trisha looked at him, he quickly shakes his head telling her that whatever happened was not his doing. Nevertheless, it was to his advantage, so he went towards Stan who had been abandoned in the desk and Trisha had no option than to follow him even though she still thinks the explosion was all his doing.“Tell me you are not responsible for this?” Stan asked Ling because he also heard when Ling said he had a plan to ensure he does not face death.“No.” Ling answered as he broke th
Since all attention was focused in Stan’s direction, Ling attacked one of the aliens from behind and his action drew attention to himself too, but there was another person in the location, who also came out from hiding, throwing something at one alien, therefore the aliens could not face one person at a time. Due to what had happened when the alien tried shooting Stan when he was struggling with another but ended up killing its kind, it decided to shoot at the third person that had come out of hiding, but before it could release the trigger, Stan came out again and pulled the trigger before it. In the same spirit, he also shot the alien which Ling was struggling with.“Nassor, what are you doing here?” Ling asked the guy who had come out of hiding, calling him by name because he is also a student in the academy.“Trying to survive just like you guys,” Nassor Dimka answered based on his thoughts. But the look he saw on their face revealed to him they were up to something more than sur
“Are you sure about this? There has to be another way.” Trisha said because she feared too that Stan would get hurt in the process.“You said it yourself that there is no other way.” Stan Gibson said to her as he got to his feet after realizing how much both Ling and Trisha did not want him dead. Then he called out to the aliens that were patrolling the place. “Hey, over here!'' As he raised his voice, he began to shoot at random as he ran away from the spot where the others were hiding.The bullets he shot hit a few of the aliens as they also shot at him. seeing how they pulled their triggers at him, he could no longer shoot back at them but run for his life, dodging their shot. Since the diversion they needed had been created with all aliens in the area turning and going after Stan, Ling and Nassor came out of hiding, shooting back at the aliens, and with this strategy the hit a good number of the aliens, so the aliens had to shoot in different directions, giving Stan the space onc
After Stan Gibson left the surrounding area of the academy, the aliens soon began to retreat from the area; it appeared they could no longer track the reason for their early attack on the academy. The department in charge of fighting in the academy, still were not able to kill a single alien due to the weapon which they used so when the aliens began to leave they knew they had a mission on the academy, and probably that mission had been achieved so they had to leave.After the departure of the aliens completely, the survivors of the attack waited a few minutes before letting to be sure none of the aliens was left before coming to see the multitude that had died as a result of the attack.Though they did not like the idea that a lot of people had died in the academy that day, somehow it was for the best on the side of the few leaders that survived. Now it was evident to them that truly Rudo Walid was killed by aliens just as Ling and Trisha had told them, but still, they were not going
