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
It started out with one dinner but eventually, Levi found the home of Chloe and her mother to be the ideal… getaway he needed.After saving her daughter from armed men, Chloe’s mother had no issue with Levi staying with them and Chloe was more than happy with the decision.It’s been over a week since then and the early evening sky, Chloe works to close her family shop when a loud thud startles her. “Sorry.” Levi said as he dusts his hands and moves away from the large pile of foodstuff.“It’s okay.” Chloe chuckled and Levi shrugs as he gathers another large pile of items. Once he lifted them all up, he turns and sees Chloe watching with a smile. “What?” He asked.“When we’re done here, I have something to show you.” Chloe said as she turns back to her activity, leaving Levi even more confused.Half an hour later, Chloe leads Levi into an abandoned building and despite his questions, she just smiles as she leads them further up the building. “We’re here.” Chloe said as she opens the
In a large upstate duplex, the sounds of a screams, gunshots and thunder fill the air, heightening the already eerie blinking emergency lights.After a few minutes of the onslaught, it goes silent… just as the door to a room bursts open. Levi’s figure emerges from the dust cloud, his outfit stained with blood and the familiar black markings on his face as he looks around. He takes note of the room, from the large comfy looking bed, to the closet full of clothes, TV set and all other forms of luxury. A sudden crack causes him to turn with his arm outstretched, powerful electricity crackling around it when a familiar face emerges from thin air.“Levi? Please… tell me you’re still sane.” Alana asked as she releases the rest of the illusion on her body with a kunai tightly held in her hand. At first, Levi just stares… before giving her a friendly smile.Once she sees it, the kunai clatters to the ground as she rushes to hug him with Levi holding onto her tightly. She then pulls away to
Levi continues to glare at the man… or cat in this case that caused him so much pain and suffering all these years who only responds with a nod. “I know. I know. Right now, I’m your least favourite person in the whole world.” Blanca said with a sigh before looking up with a suddenly serious gaze. “But… compared to the one that’s coming, what I did was nothing.” “What do you mean?” Levi asked as the glow in his eyes fade a little and Blanca sighs.“After our mother created us, she put us to the test and we all yielded good results… A little too good, actually.” Blanca chuckles a little with a headshake.“It turned out that we became too… engrossed in our own sins that it corrupted us. Changed us. In the end, those sins defined our thoughts, behaviours and actions to the point that we began to defy our mother’s wishes.”Levi places a hand under his chin with a sigh. “Sin’s a powerful thing.”“You have no idea.” Blanca mumbled before lying down with his eyes still fixed on Levi. “We we
In the tall grass covered field, a warm breeze picks up some of the fire embers from the still burning vegetation around a familiar car.This wind blows the embers towards the small clearing where different bodies lie motionless on the ground except for Levi staring a strangely talkative cat. Levi tilts his head to the side, looking between Blanca’s eyes and extended paw as he weighed his options before finally speaking.“I have three more questions first.” He said and Blanca sighs as he drops his paw.“Of course you do. Go ahead.” Blanca grumbled as he lays with his belly on Vander’s body. “First. Why are you telling ‘me’ in particular about this? Isn’t it more logical to tell the chairman since he’s the one in charge?” Levi asked.Blanca shakes his head. “The reason I chose to tell you is because you’re the only one that I believe can fight them and win.”Levi lets out an emotionless laugh. “I think you’re overestimating me. I’m not as powerful as I was all those years ago.”Blanc
