2023-03-07 14:11:26When Stan Gibson finally recognized himself again, he was in a desolate building, looking very old with most of its walls destroyed which anyone would clearly know was as a result of violence. But all the same, despite the look of the place, that was the best place he could stay for a moment.
His wounds had been treated though not professionally, but at least whoever was responsible did a wonderful job and needed to be acknowledged. With the remembrance of his attack earlier, he believed someone brought him there and whoever it was should be around.“Hello…” he called out as he got to his feet to take a look around the place and find the good Samaritan that had helped him.[Quiet.]He heard in response to his call then he turned around to find the person that had said the word.[I’m in your head you moron.]He was shocked when he heard this. It was very impossible for him to believe such. so he froze for a minute trying to have a rethink on whether he heard correctly.[Stan Gibson, born on the 17th of August, 2203. Both parents, Merle and Welch died in a car accident on the 7th of December, 2219 and since then you have ...]While he paused to see if he would hear any such words again, then came the voice the second time in his head, revealing vital details about himself, mostly those which he never revealed to anyone so he immediately shot it out. "That's enough!"He hates remembering the day he was born and also the day his parents died. He was amazed that the information was known by it so he asked. “What are you? and how did you come to know so much about me?”[You can call me Adoth, and I have chosen you to save the world from what is coming.]“What is coming?” Stan asked himself, before referring to Adoth. “You didn’t answer my question. What are you? How did you know about me? And what is coming?” he insisted on this question because he knew it wasn’t a human being and he had no information about anything that could dwell in a human’s head as it claimed.[Can we skip some of these questions for now?]He thought about it for a second, before giving it a response. “You will have to tell me what is coming so I will be able to know what I am saving the world from.” He stuck to that because it really caught his heart. Hearing that he could tell that it was something more than his initial plan of telling the poor masses about the secret he discovered about the rich. It was more than bringing equity amongst the people and forcing the rich to share what they have with the poor.[You are simply saving earth from destruction. They have destroyed so many planets and earth is their next target.]From the sound of that, Stan could tell that it spoke of some kind of army or thereabout so he deemed himself not worthy of what it had chosen him for. “I’m sorry to say this but you have chosen the wrong person. I could not stand against three men, more to stand against this army or whatever you speak of. I think the best thing is to tell this to one of those rich bastards whose implant has augmented his or her entire attribute more especially strength.”[You do not need a chip to save the world. Their technology is far advanced than any of the things you humans claim to have. I wouldn’t have chosen you if you are not capable of the task ahead.]“My answer remains no. I have other things to focus on.” Stan still refused to understand what Adoth was saying in his head.He sets out to leave the building and recover his items more especially the picture of his parents as that was the only thing he had left of them. He believed it was still at the place where he was attacked by the men.[Someone is coming.]“And how is that any of my business?” he replied as he continued to the exit feeling less concerned. This was because he thought whoever was coming was the person that had brought and treated him there. So he would simply thank the person and get on his way.Just before he opened the door, its handle was turned first so he waited for the person to come in while he maintained a position at the door post.“Trisha!” He exclaimed in shock as he saw the person that had opened the door.Trisha was one of the students in the school which he had run away from. She was among the best and was loved by everybody, which is because of her ability to connect with them. She was a big time extrovert, never shy for any reason and most of all, she was beautiful.“What are you doing here?” he added as snapped out of his surprise in less than a minute.“Shhhh…” she demonstrates, shutting the door behind them. She then drags him by the hand away from the door.“What is going on? Why are you outside the school?”“I’m here because of you.”“Me!”“Yes. You idiot.”Stan’s mouth was opened as he thought this was a dream. A lot started going through his mind as to why Trisha was out there because of him. He could not remember talking to her for days, nor did she ever come close to him irrespective of the fact that she talks to everyone in the school and that was not a problem to him as he was used to being neglected as though he does not exist.“Your life is in danger and I am here to warn you.” she said after noticing that a lot of thoughts were flying through his mind.That warning took his mind back to the words which one of those men said; ‘he is one of them’ and this drew his attention to know why his life was at risk. Trisha had already turned around to leave when he said. “Wait…. Who is after me? And why?”She halted as he requested, turned to him and her face showed that she was quite surprised about the question he was asking. But all the same, since she had come to warn him, it was important that she also tells him what he needs to know.“I thought you were smart, I just realized that you are much dumber than they say you are.” She began by insulting him first, “Do you think they were going to let you leave the school knowing that you have discovered our secret?”He understood what she was saying this time and why they were coming after him, but he also realized that that was not the reason why those men had tried killing him. He understood that there were other reasons. Thus it was very obvious to him that his life was really in danger.“One more question. Why did you choose to warn me against the plan of your friends?” he asked because it was very unlikely of her.[Gibson, you have minutes to exit this premises.]Instantly he obeyed the voice of Adoth with good reasons. He did not even wait for Trisha to answer the last question which he asked again. He took the back exit in haste knowing that those who were coming would definitely come through the front.

The speed at which he used to abandon Trisha was very surprising to her as soon she found it difficult to believe basically because he had just asked a question and hadn't gotten the answer. On the other hand, she liked the fact that he left without waiting for a response because she really did not know what to say to him was her reason for warning him.While she froze staring at the direction which Stan had taken, the door was broken and her colleagues barged in about seven of them, led by a staff.“Trisha! What are you doing here?” one of them by the name Atkinson exclaimed. He was one of the best in all aspects as his parents were very wealthy and so he was augmented so much that he could serve in any unit at all. He was top amongst the students and hated Stan with so much passion that the moment he heard that Stan should be hunted down he was so excited and eager to participate in the hunt.“Trisha, where is he?” master Sullivan asked her even though he knew that Trisha wasn’t am

Just as predicted, the path was quiet with Stan hiding by a corner of the street patiently waiting for his target to come that way so he could make his move. He had been there for about thirty minutes as he listened to the voice of the men conversing in the open space as they patrol the environment, probably for someone who would fall victim to them.While the conversation continued, he heard clearly when one of them excused himself to take a pee and that was a clear sign to tell that the time to act was now, so he became more ready than before as his heart beat increased drastically. It was the first time he was going to attack someone and most of all he did all whether they had implants in them and what kind it was.The man walked casually into the dark path to pee and as he stood facing the wall while he urinated, Stan sneaked up to him and stood steadily behind waiting for him to finish his pee.At the moment the man finished and was about to make a turn around, Stan landed his fa

As the footstep proceeded to the corner where he was, he took action, forcing the person to the ground before looking to see who it was.“Gibson it’s me.”“Trisha!” Stan was not expecting her but all the same he let go and helped her back on her feet as he was short of words to say next.“Where did you learn to do that?” Trisha asked him because he was not that skilled when he was in the school. “Why are you stalking me? You’ve delivered your message and I really appreciate it.” Stan was indirectly asking her to go away. He didn’t understand why she was being nice all of a sudden so he couldn’t trust her action of following him.Trisha understood the true implication of his words, and had to answer based on what he truly meant. “I can’t go back to the school. They’ve tagged me a traitor for revealing their plan to you now I am wanted too.”“Well that is your cross to bear. It has nothing to do with me. Besides, you are the one who is augmented.” Stan said as he picked his bag ready t

Trisha thought she was the one he was talking to because she was the only person there with him who did not understand what he meant by that question as she did not hear what Adoth said. Stan was the only one that could hear what Adoth was saying.“How am I to know how many minutes you have before they arrive here?” “Shh… I wasn’t referring to you.”“Wh….” Trisha opened her mouth as she looked around to confirm that there was no other person around whom Stan could be referring to because she began to get scared after he told her that he wasn’t referring to her. It was a very strange behavior for a person to be talking to himself and that was what he was literally doing at this point. All the same she kept quiet as instructed while she watched him continue talking to himself.[Time is up. You have to fight.]“But I haven’t made a choice?” Stan became confused as he was given a specific option to act upon.[You no longer have an escape route and that leaves you with the option to fig

Stan noticed he was being pursued and the moment he looked back to see it was Ling and Rudo whom Trisha had said was the weakest link, he was happy, so he looked for the next lonely street to take, somewhere he could easily take out the two of them, not necessarily killing them.As he took the turn, he stopped at a distance and waited for them. From his experience fighting those thugs, he knew that it would take some time before Sullivan and the other would end the fight but for sure, he knew that the thugs would lose. So it was for him to make good use of his time.Ling and Rudo were surprised to see that Stan stopped when he could have continued running, Rudo was the one to notice Stan’s fist showing that he wanted to fight them. “This is not necessary, Gibson.”“You know you can’t beat us, so surrender and come with us, you might be spared if we plead to the masters on your behalf.” Ling added.From the way they both sound, Stan could see the reason why Trisha said they were the we

At the hearing of this, Stan’s countenance changed totally, he did not know what to do again. He was still looking at Trisha but it was obvious to her that his mind was no longer in the thing which she was saying. So Trisha had to bring his mind back from wherever it had gone. “Gibson, are you even listening to me?” While Trisha was trying to get his mind to come back to what she was talking about in order for him to agree with her, Ling was taking note of his strange behavior. Meanwhile Rudo was so focused on getting loose from the chair as he also wanted to know how Gibson could hide the power of his chip all the days he was in the Elite academy. “Of course, I heard you right. By the way, why do you care? I know you are only after your benefit.” Stan replied to Trisha. “Oh! Is that what it is now? I risked my life to warn of their plot to kill you. I guess that was also after my benefits. You ingrate.” Trisha had to spark up, showing Stan that he was not the only one who could ge

“Ling, Ling, Ling….” Rudo kept calling out loud for Ling to stop.Initially Ling did not want to stop but since the call was becoming too loud that he could not resist again, he had to stop and wait for Rudo and Trisha who had followed him to come close.As they drew near, he did not give them a chance to speak, he first spoke. “Why are you two following me? I said you should return to Sullivan as you wish.” Trisha was quick to give him a response, “Rudo here refused to go without you.” Rudo had to now speak for himself. “You know how this works Ling, Master Sullivan expects us to come back together so it is not wise that I return alone. Stop going after Stan and let’s return to the others. Together we have a higher chance of beating him than if we are alone. You already saw that we couldn’t catch him alone.” “And who said anything about fighting him again?” Ling asked Rudo because he was not going after Stan to continue the fight but for something else.The question he asked was o

“Look out,” Rudo screamed the name of Trisha as he dived the alien that was about to smite her with its blade, removing focus from the one that was onto him. Now he had two of them facing him as Trisha laid on the ground because he had already been cut in her right leg therefore moving was very difficult.Rudo was onto the top of the alien that he had pushed to the ground and was releasing a series of blows on it even though it was pointless as they had hit those aliens with all they had yet there was no effect. While punching the alien hard, another stabbed him from the back causing him to cease the punch in pain.“Noooooo…” Stan showed up as he rushed the alien that had stabbed Rudo. Even Trisha the main reason why he chose to take on the task which Adoth had given him, he still did not want Rudo dead. Besides the system did not instruct him to save only Trisha, rather he was instructed to save the three of them meaning that if Rudo dies the task was not a success.Meanwhile the ali

The news of the aliens evacuation was nothing to be hidden as all radio and television stations carried it across the globe. Nations began to rebuild their structures which were destroyed by the aliens, and the world kept mentioning one name, Stan Gibson, hero of the world, because he was at the fore front of every battle against the aliens. The leaders of China, America, Russia, United Kingdom and other nations which he fought besides, had no option than to sing his praise along with the praises of his team Ling Tingzhe, Nassor Dimka and Trisha Graham. The war against aliens made the whole world to realise that humans are the same irrespective of their race and status and could be able to achieve anything they set their minds towards.It was no longer a wonder to the world how a low class could lead the so called elites and military to victory over an enemy which was far stronger than them.Each continent honored the heroes, awarding medels of different kinds.

It was very early the next morning and Ling was lying on the bed with Trisha, covered with a mattress as she rested her head on Trisha's arm.Trisha was in a confused mood, he did not know whether he was to be happy or he was to feel guilty because he had just slept with his father's wife on the night after their wedding.After some time, Ling noticed his quietness, and then she looked at his face as she felt that he was not in a delightful mood. But as she looked at him, he smiled with joy and it was not pretentious because he was really in a happy mood.Yet that smile did not stop her from asking. "You are so quiet. Is there anything bothering you?"He wanted to hide it but he could not since he had trained himself to be very honest and sincere and it would be very difficult for him to change in that aspect. "I feel guilty."Then she repositioned as she wanted to know why he was feeling that way. "Of what?"He was amazed that she was not feeling the same way as him, so he had to tel

Leaving the room of King Nassor Dimka with the claim that she was going to her chamber, she came some blocks away from Nassor's room and then asked a guard who was on patrol. "Excuse me," she draws the attention of the guard.The guard was amazed to see that the new Queen was still wandering around the palace, so he said to her, "My lady, are you still looking for the chamber of his majesty?" He asked this question because it was known to him that the King had called her to his room, so he thought she should have been with the King. "Ermm," she stammered. She had not known her way around more to even know where her room was and it would be embarrassing to ask the soldier to direct her to her room because she knew according to tradition that she was supposed to spend the night with his new husband. So she thought of the best thing to cover up her wandering around the palace. "Actually, I'm coming from the King's chamber, I know it's that direction." She pointed the right direction to

At the end of the wedding all who had come to grace the occasion were returning to their various homes and kingdom. Ling got the chance to speak to her father before he left since she might not be seeing him again for a long while or even forever.As she hugs King Stan goodbye, tears seem to drop from her eyes causing Stan to be baffled because he had seen smiles of joy on that face just some while ago. So he asked, "What is the matter my dear?"From the question she then knew that she had let herself too lose, so she hastily wiped the tears that dropped from her eyes, wearing a happy face again, but it was obvious this time that her happiness was not genuine like what it was earlier. "It's nothing father. Just tears of joy." Even though he knew that she lied, he did not care, as long as his kingdom was free from the attack and domination of the dragon king, he was satisfied. "I am happy to see that you are happy. Trust me, king Nassor will take good care of you. There is nothing to

It's been twenty years since the death of the Queen of Ocalis, leaving her husband, the dragon King Nassor Dimka to be very brutal and dangerous, as all he sought was to rule the entire world, so taking over Kingdoms and dukedoms had been the only thing that gives joy and rest to his soul and the dragon in him.This continued until he came to Kingdom of Erellan, ruled by King Stan Gibson to do likewise as he had done to many other Kingdoms before now, but there he saw a young beautiful damsel, Ling, who remained him of his late wife and mate, Patricia, so he found it difficult to take his eye off her until she had left their presence after delivering a message to her King. King Stan knew that Nassor had come to take over his Kingdom either by his succumbing or by force which would be his death, but from the way he saw the dragon King stare at Ling still she left, he had an idea that came into his mind, so he said it out immediately. "I see you have interest in my daughter and I could

He pointed at them respectively. "Why don't you tell us your name, so we would know what to address you?""My name is Claus, I am from Alaska and I believe this is just another rural town in the state." The man said."Well, Claus, as you have said, this is a town but there are no such things as rural towns or whatever the second or third type of town you may know.

Early the next day, by eight o'clock in the morning, Miss Linzi, Kellie, Andy and Eddy came down from a cab that just dropped off at the front of the Alaska Regional hospital. Then Miss Linzi walked in with the three kids, and as they got to the reception, she said to nurse there. "Please excuse me." "Morning ma'am, how may I help you?" The nurse asked Linzi. "I received a call from the hospital last night, and the person that spoke with me told me of a young man who was brought here from an accident scene. We are here to see him." Linzi said. "Slow down, could you be more specific, as in what is the name of the person you are here to see?" The nurse asked. "His name is Claus." Linzi answered. "Are you his wife, ma'am?" The nurse asked. "No I am not, but this is his daughter." Linzi said as pointed at Kellie. "Please can you direct us to his room?" "Please ma'am, we would like to know you are related to Mr Claus." The nurse said. But Kellie said on her behalf, before she coul

Hours later, Miss Linzi was seen as a cab dropped her and the children at their compound, and after she had paid the bills to the driver, she led them to her own apartment to rest."Miss Linzi, where did you say our mother went to? And why hasn't she returned from work up till this time?" Andy asked after they must have spent a couple hours and the day was about to pass by."Oh sweetie, I am sorry that your mother did not tell me the reason why she had to stay out late today, but I believe that there is a good reason and she will soon be back." Linzi answered, as she set the dining table. Then she said to the three of them, "Come on, why not have some dinner while we wait for your parents to return from work."So they left the sitting room and came to dinner, but just before they began to eat, Kellie said, "Miss Linzi,""Yes Kellie." She replied as focused on what Kellie wanted to say."Have my dad called you again?" Kellie asked."No he hasn't." Linzi answered."Can you please give h

After that he picked up his phone and then read the message which came earlier, then he looked at his wristwatch and looked at the phone to see the time when it came.Then he exclaimed. "Oh my gosh! I am running out of time." As he started the car again and zoomed off.Soon he arrives at the compound of Mr Jaxon, his boss who had been disturbing his phone since."Finally you are here." Jaxon said.And to Claus' greatest surprise he was not as angry as he spoke through the phone, but he still had to apologize. "Good morning sir, I'm sorry I could not make it as early as I suppose.""You came at the right time, I just finished preparing." Jaxon replied.Then Claus became surprised because he had been hurrying him to come down to his place.Noticing the amazing countenance of Claus, Jaxon said. "I know you are surprised as to why I was disturbing your phone earlier?""Of course, and I would have been at the station by now if I had taken your instructions." Claus said."Oh! I knew you wou
