Following the direction of Adoth, Stan Gibson drove the truck towards the borders of Atlanta as that was as far as he could go away from the academy. Yet that was not far enough for Stan. If not for the lack of the diesel in the truck, he would have crossed the borders of Columbia into Atlanta. Most of the vehicles in this ere were electronic and this brought about a very few locations of gas stations and the electronic cars were difficult to access.“This is as far as we can go.” Stan said as the car came to a stop. The four of them came out of the car as they headed for an old abandoned and destroyed building which was along the highway.“I still don’t believe this,” Nassor said as they walked in the direction of the building. His words made the other three to look at him in a weird manner that interpreted their desire to know more about what he was saying so he got to continue further. “We are more than a hundred miles away from the academy all by ourselves with no master to guide
Stan still hesitated for some time before proceeding because he hadn't gotten the full prediction of what they would think about his words, but he needed to say it. “I know this might sound strange to you but systems are real and I am possessed by one. I tells what is about to happen and leave me to handle it myself. It has been the source of my augmentation and it serves as my own chip.”“You are not making any point to me,” Nassor said as he looked at Ling and Trisha, asking them to know what they thought. “Is he?” “I’m as confused as you are, Nassor.” Trisha answered him.From their words, Stan saw that they were having difficulty believing him and it might be impossible to convince them as Adoth had demanded, yet he continued. “I knew of this alien invasion right from the very first day they came to earth. That was the day I caught you Ling and Rudo, but later left you after a sudden shock and pause which I believe you noticed and caused you to come after me instead of going back
Meanwhile, Stan woke Nassor and Trisha up too, and they came close to the window holding the guns of the aliens ready to attack anything or anyone.“What do you see?” Stan asked Ling who was still trying to spot something suspicious out there.“Nothing yet.” Ling answered him, still looking out of the window in search of something suspicious.Still Stan was not going to take that answer like that, he knew that Adoth had always been accurate when it has to do with matters like that, so he said to them. “We can’t stay here anymore.”“Like now?” Trisha was confused because it was dark and going outside the house would be putting their lives in danger. “We should take cover here till morning.”“No, Adoth says we leave now.” “Who’s Adoth?” Nassor asked because he was hearing the name for the first time. Stan did not mention that name when he was telling them about the system.“The system,” Stan replied in a stressed tone. He did get why he had to tell them everything in detail as if they
“Stop right there!” This command came as they approached the border into Atlanta. Not only was this command heard, they were surrounded at once by the military men in the area. These were more than just soldiers; they were also elites because they had chips implanted in them. Some were graduates of the school that had been destroyed while others were graduates of other special schools too.With the soldiers coming out and surrounding them, the four of them stopped at once, putting their hands in the air because any attempt to move would be termed suspicious and can bring about an opening of fire at them.It wasn’t as if they had done anything wrong but for the reason of them coming through that path, they were tagged suspects with evil intention because that was not the proper route into the state of Atlanta. They were running away from the main road so as to avoid being attacked by the aliens, and little did they know that they were doing something illegally in the process.Without
Stan and Nassor successfully ran into the building without harm, so they made haste to look around for the guns so as to reunite with Ling and Trisha outside before it became too late. But in the course of finding the guns, some soldiers came into the building too, bringing the fight to them as the aliens were pressing on with the attack.“What are you doing here?” One of the soldiers caught them in the building and who they were was no longer news to any of the soldiers in the barrack. “We can help.” Stan said to the soldier instead of giving him an answer to the asked question. The soldier looked around, seeing that the attack they were facing from the aliens was a very heavy one and it would be the wrong time to try detaining them, in addition to this, they were only ten soldiers that had fallen backwards into the building which was their armory, so letting them fight was not going to be a bad idea at all. So he said, “Alright, pick up a weapon, they are closing on us.” “Your gu
Not up to an hour later, the aliens began to leave the barrack and it was unknown to the soldiers why because they knew that the aliens were going to win the fight if they continued, in short, the aliens had already won the fight before leaving because hundreds of soldiers were already dead. Yet in all, the surviving soldiers were happy that the aliens were leaving after conquering the barrack literally.A few minutes after the aliens left, a helicopter landed in the barrack, that was the team that had come to carry Trisha, Ling, Nassor and Stan from the soldiers’ custody. Scott Turner and Sullivan Nathan were the ones who had come to pick them up along with four other men who were not students of the academy. When they came off the helicopter to see the condition of the barrack and how dead soldiers were littered everywhere, they could clearly tell that the aliens were there because they also saw one or two dead aliens in the area. Finding the commander in charge of that division w
[Why aren’t you going with them?]Adoth spoke to him as he still maintained his position. Even though it was a system and knew some things before they happened, it was not able to read all of Stan’s decisions because Stan did not die completely before it chose him to be its host. By the way, it took permission before entering Stan’s body. Stan too was not expecting that question, he had this thought that Adoth knows everything about him and all his actions too. But the question asked just showed that Adoth had some limits. Nevertheless, he had his reasons for not moving with his friends to the shelter and that reason had to be achieved as he was also waiting to hear Adoth speak before he would raise the topic of the discussion which he wants to engage Adoth in. “I’ve noticed something strange and I need answers from you because I know too well that you have the answers I need at this moment.” Stan began but noted on his own that he hadn't said anything that Adoth would take seriousl
Stan knew that there was more to what it meant by that and he believed it would explain further without being asked to do so, thus he waited for it to continue. Just as he had believed, the system continued, but this time it was with an instruction.[It is high time you join the others in the shelter.]“Not until we are done with our talk.” Stan proved stubborn and the system had no option other than to do as he has said after all, he would be the one to surfer the punishment of not obeying it immediately.[I can not possess up to two hosts on any planet, therefore once you are killed, then it is the end of my existence here on Earth as the planet will fall or humans will have to devise another means to defeat the aliens which have never happened before. This better explains why you are wanted dead by all costs.]This was strange to Stan as he found it difficult to believe because that was not how he viewed systems before now. He had every tangible reason to argue with Adoth on that,
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. Even though that was o
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
In the evening hours of that day, the clouds filled up and then began a very heavy storm with lightning striking down to the surface of the earth, and the storm destroyed a lot of things in the entire kingdom; such as the crops of farmers and some buildings which were not rooted strong in the ground. *******But Foster reversed the question, "First of all, let me introduce myself, I am Foster, and these are my sons Fanser and Einar." 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. This is the kingdom of Pell and the place you mentioned, that is, Alaska, we do not know any place or kingdom that goes by that name in the world." Foster said."Oh no! You haven't heard of the
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
