A couple of hours after the reception, at another Index hideout under the setting sun, Alana and Levi stepped out of the car, stunned to see Nina waiting for them with a familiar metal case at her feet. “Hey, kid. How’re you holding up?” Nina asked with a sad look but the sadness on Levi’s face gives way for confusion while the car drives away behind them. “I’m doing alright; I guess… but why are you here…… with that?” Levi asked, pointing to the case and Nina looks between it and Levi with even more confusion. “What are you talking about? You’re the one who sent me the message to bring it to you.” Nina said and Alana turns to Levi with shock but Levi was just as shocked. “I never sent you a message like that, Nina.” “It was me.” All three trons turn as Bell materializes in front of Levi, her attire also a mourning black colour. “Why would you…” Levi trails off once Bell turns and he sees the frustrated and sad look in her blue eyes. “No. We’re not doing it.” “I wanted to wait
A great man once said… “when the cat’s gone, the mice will play” … This was the case in the world, following the death of the self-righteous tyrant, Rebirth and his commanders, the Inflictors. Following the fateful battle against the Index, all the criminal organizations both known and hidden, emerged to spread their own flavour of chaos. With the number of agents and trons lost to the Index during the months of fighting, they lacked the necessary man power to quickly subdue this new evil. A year after the death of Rebirth, the chaos reached its peak, spreading to all four corners of the earth… but with more time, the weakened Index began to regain its strength, decreasing and hindering the activities of these organizations. And although the process was slow, by another year, more than half of the world was already free from these new tyrants. And amidst that chaos, one mystery that hanged in everyone’s mind were the identities of the men behind Rebirth’s downfall. Numerous rumou
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
