Early the next morning, Alana was already dressed up in a slick dark blue denim jeans, leather jacket and black shirt with a symbol of a heart struck by lightning.She smiles at the meaning of her shirt as she turns to see Levi still asleep on the bed. She moves over and gives his forehead a long loving kiss. “I love you, babe.” Alana whispered as she rubs his forehead before moving away to grab her backpack from the dresser when she heard his muffled voice.“Love… you.” She turned only see that he replied in his sleep. She smiles warmly at him and quietly exits the room where she finds Camie, with some bandages on her body and Mary already ready in the hallway.“Alright ladies. Let’s go.” Alana said with a smirk and the two agents nod as they followed Alana down the hallway……Hours of driving and flying later, standing on the sidewalk, Alana now wearing dark shades, stares at a familiar brothel now partially collapsed and deserted under the late afternoon sun. “Not what I expected.
Still at the old abandoned Magic-Land amusement park… The air suddenly goes into a tense silence as Alana’s eyes narrowed at her aunt. Alana thought to herself as she clenches her fists to settle her nerves. Sphinx continues to hold a cold stare at Alana as she speaks again, her tone as cold as her eyes. “What are you doing here, niece?” Alana’s body twitches slightly and Sphinx narrows her eyes. “Because if you’re here if you’re here to ask me to fight in this war for that ‘partner’ of yours, then you’ve wasted your time.”Camie and Mary share a glance as Alana takes in a deep breath, holds it before briefly exhaling. She then looks up to her aunt with a similarly serious expression on her face.“I know you won’t fight in this war. If you had the intention to, Razor would be dead right now.” Alana said.Sphinx cracks a slight smile. “That’s right.” The smile quickly fades away as she speaks again. “I told that naïve sister of mine that the deal with that Re
Again and again, Alana kept going back into the illusion……but she kept on failing every single time.There was a time when she finally got close, so very close but once the illusion begged for his life, her mind went blank, giving him the opportunity to kill her again.Once again, Alana falls back into reality and stumbles back, some drops of blood dripping from her nostril and her skin a little paler than normal but she looks up and weakly speaks. “Again…”“That’s enough, Alana. There’s no point in killing yourself over this.” Mary said angrily.Alana just focuses her attention on her aunt who sighs with a folded arm. “I agree with your comrades, Raven. You may have some extent of illusion resistance because of your heritage but even you can’t keep yourself sane with this much mental attack. You’ll break if you do it again.”Camie grabs Alana’s arm with some worried tears in her eyes as she speaks. “Please, Miss Alana. You’ve already been doing this for more than half an hour. We can
It’s been 2 months since Levi left his hometown and also 2 months since his Alana, Mary and Camie left in search of Agent Sphinx of the Erased for training.Luckily, since he left, his hometown was spared from any more attacks and the Index found out that Magus knew about Levi from one of the few agents he captured from Amanda’s rescue team. But since Magnus went to avenge his master who was found to be his former cell mate, Gabriel Norman who was attacked by Levi and a way of seeking respect from Gabriel, Magnus acted alone.If not for his selfish act, he would have most likely brought the whole Inflictor force including Rebirth which would have been terribly devastating to the simple refugee camp.So to avoid something like this again, Levi had been rotating between different hideouts and camps throughout these two months. But today, something changed……Levi, now dressed in the standard white Index suit, stares at the long wall mirror as he tests the flexibility of his gloved hands
It’s not even been 5 minutes yet but Rebirth’s Homebase was already in total chaos. In one of the major control rooms, a group of uniformed enemy guards run around. Using the numerous security feed to collect information around the base and relay information to their defending comrades. A bald commanding officer stands in the middle of the room, his tensed arms folded with some veins bulging on his sweaty head as he shouts out to his men. “Inform Group 6B1 to pull back and assist 5C!” One of the guards quickly relays the command and the commanding officer watches on the monitor as a particular enemy group retreats from enemy fire and heads through a hallway… where they encountered even more Index forces which destroyed them in seconds. “Damn it.” The bald commander grumbled as he turns to another monitor and was about to shout another command but the team he intended to use were suddenly wiped out a series of golden energy slashes. The security feed then focuses on Arthur who l
In the midst of a seemingly futile battle with his more powerful clone, Sparrow smirks confidently while his Replica raises a brow at him.“It looks like the concussion has finally set in because it sounded like you said that you found a way to me.” Zero Sparrow said and Sparrow’s grin widens. “Don’t get cocky because you got one good hit on me.”Sparrow chuckles a little before speaking. “Don’t get me wrong. My goal wasn’t to beat you with that punch… It was to confirm my suspicion.”“Suspicion?” Zero Sparrow asked and Sparrow narrows his eyes at it.“It had to do with what you said. That you were built to destroy us at our own game. In other ways, you were built to counter our normal fighting styles and gears.” Sparrow said before pointing at it with a smirk still on his face.“So… what if I ‘don’t’ fight how I normally would?” Zero Sparrow’s eyes widen in realisation, making Sparrow’s smile widen the more. “Now you’re getting it.”“So that’s why you attacked me yourself.” Zero Spar
In a familiar and partially destroyed large room, Flash gives a cocky laugh as he tosses aside the piece of his Replica’s clothing to the ground. Zero Flash narrows its eyes at Flash as it mumbles to itself. “Right before my gears hit him… he disappeared.” It mumbled to itself as it turns back to where Flash was some seconds ago. “It was like teleportation but…” It turns back to Flash with a glance at the piece of its clothing now on the ground. “How did you get over there?” It asked.Flash smirks as he answers. “I just went past you.”Zero Flash clenches its fists as it responds. “That’s impossible. I can go as fast as the speed of light and there’s no way you can move that fast.”“That’s what you think.” Flash chuckled as Flash releases another huge wave of energy and Zero Flash quickly releases its aura as well.But before it could react, an explosion occurs behind it and it turns… to see Flash now on the other side of the room, a hand on his head as he leans against the crumbled
A physically drained Levi sits on the ground with eyes fixed on Francis’ motionless body in front of him before looking up to glare at Razor who smirks as he moves his fingers, causing the spears around him to suddenly spin rapidly. With a snap of his fingers, the spears zoomed forward just as Citadel releases a surge of energy that reinforces her barrier, causing the spears to screech against it. Razor clicks his tongue in annoyance while Thors grunts as he tries to break the now repaired barrier. “Why won’t this break?” He grumbled with each punch just as a hand grabs his arm. “Allow me.” The dral turns to see his fellow Inflictor, Magnus who releases his arm and moves in front of the barrier. “We meet again, Miss Amanda. I hope you’re ready to die this time.” Magnus said as he draws his fist back which suddenly grew in size. Citadel reinforces her barrier again but Magnus’ punch easily breaks through it. Amanda stumbles back before grunting as Magnus grabs her in his hand. W
