The time is 1:44 pm and the mildly hot afternoon sun falls down on the city of New York which bustles with activity. From the loud horns of car trapped in a traffic jam, to the musicians playing music on the streets while children dance… to the two security guards standing in front of an expensive looking building. The guards turn as four vehicles arrived and stopped some distance from the stairs to the building. Some more guards emerge from the cars, armed with guns and stand to wait for the short fat bald man that later emerges from the car with a ridiculously young and beautiful woman by his side. The man smirks at the lady before moving with her towards the building… completely unaware of his feathery stalker. A black feathered eagle, turns its head periodically as it stares at the man from a tree branch before flying up, circling the building. But another strange thing about the bird is that not only was one of its eyes glowing with blue light… the other eye was more of a hum
About a week later, back in the sanctuary under the late afternoon sky… From the window of a room of a very tall, expensive looking apartment complex, the sound of children’s laughter and shout fills the air.Inside the now toy scattered living room, a familiar white haired man in a hoodie and jeans sits criss-cross on the ground with funny hat on his head and a grin on his face.“Okay, uncle Lefi.” Levi stifles a laugh as the one-and-a-half-year-old light skinned girl with a familiar Asian face smiles while handing out a large teddy bear to him. “You take care of Mista Fluffy.”“Thank you, Miss Alice.” Levi said with an overdramatic bow that makes the girl laugh loudly before reaching down to pick a giant black gorilla toy.“For you.” Alice said as she hands it to a similarly young dark-skinned boy with curly black hair and cute tiny glasses who huddles closer to Levi once he sees the toy. “It is good toy, Ales.” Alice said as she brings the toy closer but the boy moves further away.
About 10 hours later, Levi and Alana landed in a hidden Erased base in South America. From there, they used a public transport to attract less attention and almost 2 hours later, the train stops with a hiss.Among the passengers that exit the vehicle, Levi dressed in a black hoodie with sky-blue jeans and dark sneakers steps out and nearly chokes on the thick fumes from the old train.He looks around and frowns slightly at the old, almost broken down station with all sorts of people moving around.Levi was about to step forward before dodging as a group of young dirtied children run through the crowd with a single old security officer chasing after them. Levi then notices a heavily tattooed girl spray-painting the station walls with the image of a flaming skull.“Hey.” Levi turns to see Alana now dressed in all black beside him. “Our guy will get our stuff to the hideout.”“Okay then.” Levi mumbled as he walks forward with Alana by his side, until they reach the edge of the broken wal
A few hours later… in one of the hotels of the city, Levi with a towel around his waist, gargles on some water before spitting it into the sink in front of him. “Amprades?” He mumbled as he turns to the bathtub where Alana lies in, the soap bubbles occluding her body. “Yeah. That’s why Vander became so popular. He mass-produced and distributed them throughout the world. According to Davi, there’s no street in the world that hasn’t heard of Amprades.”Levi puts his toothbrush in its container and stares at his reflection with furrowed brows. “But still… A drug that not just heightens your senses and mind… but also temporarily gives you the powers of a tron. That sounds like…”“A breaker?” Alana asked and Levi nods. “That’s because it is.” “Really?”Alana nods as she stands up, the water dripping from her body as she exits the bath. “Mary mentioned something about a new street drug on her last mission but it’s now that we know both its name and source.” She reaches for a towel and be
In the early morning despite the still darkened sky, a loud ringing fills the air as a long building burns, sending thick puffs of black smoke into the sky.At the back of the building, the doors slide open, revealing a group of armoured men walking out with bags filled with expensive valuables.The group then stop in their tracks when they see that their getaway vans were stained with the blood of their fallen comrades…The sound of footsteps echoed and the men all raised their weapons, dropping their loot bags as Levi steps out from behind the van, some blood stains on his dark clothes.“A tron?” One of the men grumbled but Levi fixes his blue eyes on the huge long-haired brunette in the middle of the group, his eyes now wide with fear.“Drop your weapons, men.” The brunette grumbled as he tosses his gun to the ground.“Boss?” One of the men mumbled as they all looked at him in confusion.“That’s not some tron. It’s the Silver Ghost.” He said.“I thought Rebirth killed him.” Another
The Corp HQ remains in chaos as the guards prepare for a fight below… meanwhile, the fight on top had already reached a breaking point.An unmasked Alana was now tied up by an adjacent pillar from an unmasked Levi where they watch as Olivia treats the other two goons’ wounds. Levi recalled that moment that his mind was infiltrated. It was an experience that felt both strange yet familiar at the same time.One glance at Alana, showed that she must have felt it too and judging by the way her brows knitted slightly, Levi knew she was already working to escape…“So you really do have the power to stop time.” Levi said, grabbing their attention and Alana smirked once she saw that Levi was creating a distraction for her. “That’s a very unique power.”“Thank you.” Vander said with a little bow. “It was a gift from god. To help stop madmen like you.”“Madmen? That’s a little harsh. But I gotta say. If you were a completel
It’s now around 10 am and the hot sun shines brightly on the city of Tokyo, Japan where the famous Iwatani Labs now stands, bigger and more advanced than ever.Although, it goes by Andre Labs now when it was taken over by the current Eastern Index Head… Among the top floors of the building, a large room bustles with the activity of dozens of scientists and technicians of different shape and sizes. The sound of keys typing, metal clashing against metal and the intelligent individuals arguing filled the air.After a couple more minutes of noise, the door on the further end of the room slides open and out walks a familiar black man in a suit who shouts out to them.“I get that you’re all working but keep the noise down, will ya?!” The room quickly reduce their noises with some apologies echoed to Joseph who rubs his forehead with a sigh. “Mr Joseph?” Joseph turns to see a young well-dressed scientist who gestures to the hooded figure behind her. Once Joseph sees the figure’s blue eyes,
The early moon shines brightly on the dry open road and amidst the silence, a low revving sound is heard where Levi rides forward with blue eyes fixed on the town in the distance.He picks up his speed and within a couple of minutes, Levi stops and removes his helmet, revealing his confused face at the surprisingly lively town.Different vehicles and individuals move about and Levi looks up to realise that it was some kind of festival with a theme called ‘Heroes of Light’. After hiding his bike, Levi puts his hood on and wears his Erased mask before blending into the crowd.As he moves about, he looks at the different stands where there were food, games, trinkets and souvenirs. He thought just as a vendor calls for him. Curious, Levi goes over to the stand and the man was first hesitant once he noticed the mask before shaking it off to advertise his goods. “Come, strange fellow and take your pick.” As Levi looks at the merchandise, he gasps softly once his eyes c
