2024-10-29 19:42:56Somewhere in eastern Africa, a four-storey apartment complex stood in the midst of a slightly crowded town.
It was around 1pm and scary-looking figure with a red bandana over his face moves in the backyard of the complex, a slick looking handgun tucked on the back of his cheap-looking jeans.
He suddenly turns to the sound of rustle in the bushes and he speaks with a slight Russian accent.
“Who’s there?” He said as he reaches for his gun, inching closer to the bush… when he hears some gunshots go off in the complex. He reaches for his communicator to check in when a panicked voice blared out of its speakers.
“It’s the Index! They found us!”
“What do you mean, they found us? Where are they?! Hey!!!” As the man shouted into his com, a figure emerged from the shadows of the tree and deals a powerful chop to the man’s head, knocking him out cold as he lands with a thud.

Hours later, all students found themselves in one of the Index’s main detainment facilities. The agents were all issued their standard combat suits and were asked to remain on standby.Some students broke off into groups outside the base, chatting and having a little form. Among one of these groups was one seated just outside the main base gates, a group of all girls with MJ and Hana in the centre of it.“I know this is probably not a good time but…” Vivian said, her mischievous beastly eyes landing on Hana.“But what?” Hana asked.Vivian inches closer to her, a sly smile on her face. “I think you know.”Hana stares at her in confusion until a wave of realisation crosses her face, reddening her cheeks. Vivian’s girlfriend, Amanda pinches Vivian’s tail to make her back away. “Viv…” She grumbled and Vivian laughs as she rubs her tail.“Come on, babe. You can&
Altered Cosmos Chapter 35; Burning Goals
Above a forest in the central part of Africa under the early evening sky, a white-clothed figure soars through the air with red-hot fire firing from his feet, propelling him forward. Nova’s brows furrowed as he sees some fire on a side of the main road. “How did these guys even know we were here!” He shouted out to compensate for the harsh wind colliding with his face. He hears a ‘woosh’ sound below and looks to see Jerry or in this case, Agent Sparrow bursting out of the trees, a focused expression on his face. “Forget about that now. Get to that transport!” He said as his figure falls back into the trees and Nova grunts as he blazes forward. He quickly reaches the point of action where he sees a set of agents and trons protecting the transport from its western side. He then notices an enemy with photron energy radiating from his body as he charges forward. “Oh no, you don’t!” Nova grumbled as he deeps into a high-speed nose dive while the tr

In the once safe medic zone, a Web fire tron smiles at Nova who tightly clutches his flame daggers and speaks with a cocky voice. “Very well then.”Nova takes a deep breath as he entered his usual combat stance, steam rising from his body. The tron raises both hands to his sides and blue fire embers rise from his opened palms as he spoke.“I just hope you entertain me more than that boy I fought earlier. I heard he was the most powerful fire tron in the southern branch college.” Nova’s eyes widen when he realises who he was talking about. “I was extremely disappointed-”With a burst of energy, Nova charges at the tron, his eyes burning with red energy and the tron smiles as he aims an attack at Nova…… who suddenly releases a jet of fire from his feet, sending him into a quick zig-zag movement that brings him behind the tron in an instant.Nova spins using his fire’s momentum to send his d

Hours earlier, Jake and the rest of Squad Target excluding Levi finally landed at their destination, which happened to be a large secret Index facility.As Mrs Norman exits the plane with her guards in tow, two agents approached and saluted her. “I hope things are going well.” She asked.“No problem so far, ma’am.” A lady said and Mrs Norman nods at them before gesturing for her guards and Target’s squad to follow.As they walked through the large complex, Jake glances at the powerful weapons, trained soldiers and mind-blowing equipment around them.Veronica lets out a whistle and speaks. “Damn.”“Totally.” MJ mumbled as she stared at a scientists followed by a highly-sophisticated android helper which carried his materials and documents. “I wonder what kind of crazy experiments they do here.”Nina chuckles and throws a grin over her shoulder. “That’s classif

As Target’s squad continue to stare at Levi’s unconscious body, Rubik eyes stops at the blue light on his chest pulsing with each of his breaths. “Is that-” “The Cyber-Frame.” Target said as she appears beside him, arms folded and her eye narrowed on Levi’s unconscious face, his white hair waving slowly and smoothly in the container. “Our biggest chance to finally crush the Web.” Brute moves her hand on the glass, a sympathetic stare fixed at Levi as she speaks. “How long before he wakes up?” Target’s arms tensed as she answered. “I wish I knew, kid.” They all turned back to Levi who breathes in and out at a very slow rate. “Despite using dozens of decoys, the enemy still found this place which means Levi’s health is compromised” Another rumble shakes the room and Target turns back to the guard, giving him a serious look. “We have to move.” “Roger.” The guards said as they moved Levi’s body with haste towards the van.

“What is this? Let me out!” The banging sounds continue and Rubik walks forward and stops in front of the dark cube, his face completely calm. “I can sense you, human. What is this?!”Rubik sighs and rubs his neck as he responds. “A capture gear I created. I call it the Rubik’s cube and it will be the last thing you’ll ever see.” There was a brief silence, followed by the hysterical laughter of the figure inside.“You’ve really impressed me. To come up with such a trap while simultaneously fending off my attacks. You must be some kind of genius.”Rubik stares at the cube in doubt just as sudden louder ‘bang’ sound was heard as the holon punches the cube. “You fool! Do you really think ‘this’ would stop me?! I can blow this flimsy thing apart in one swift shot.”Rubik turns around with arms folded and he shrugs as he speaks. “Go ahead.”
Altered Cosmos Chapter 40; In-Sync
In a limitless space filled with the only the colour white, two figures were seen staring at each other.Levi breathes heavily, his clothes a little ripped as he stared at B who remains standing, hands behind her back… and 3 pairs of metallic spider-looking arms extending from her back.As Levi wipes his mouth, B speaks. “Come on, Master. You can do better than that.” Levi grits his teeth and charges forward as B’s spider arms readied for battle, their sharp ends reflecting some light…Levi lets out a shout as he leaps into the air, performing a high-speed front flip that sends his heel down on B who doesn’t move a muscle as one of her arms blocked his attack effortlessly.Levi flips back to the ground and charged at her again, throwing different skilled attacks but B’s arms are too fast as they block every single attack with B glaring at him. “Come on, Master.”Levi plants a foot

“You’re full of interesting surprises, Levi.” B said with a cheeky smile that makes Levi step back.Before he could speak again, his senses spike as he notices a large number of trons fade away instantly.He clenches his fists and B narrows her eyes when she read his mind. “I know what you’re thinking and I completely disagree with it.”Levi glares at her as he responded. “There are people dying out there. Because of me. I can’t sit here and do nothing.”“You’re not doing nothing. You’re still in training until you’re ready to finalize the contract.”Levi steps toward her, a more intense glare in his eyes as he points in a random direction. “Lives are being lost as we speak and you want to continue training. Don’t you care about them at all?”“No, I don’t.” She answered abruptly and Levi steps back a little shocked mostly b

As the doors to her parent’s room slide shut behind her, Eva’s eyes first meet the messy bed but Levi wasn’t on it. She turns and finds him standing by the cabinet some distance away from the bed. She wanted to speak but stops as an amused idea comes to her mind. She proceeds to sneak up to him and just when she was about to scare him, she finally notices that he was staring at a picture in his hand.Curious, she moves to get a closer look and sees that he was staring at the picture of him and Felix when they were younger. Unknown to Eva, Levi catches the sight of her eyes reflected against the frame and disappears… instantly appearing behind her and attacks with a tickle attack.“Da-Dad! S-Stop!” Eva shouted between laughs before using her own static shell to get away from him.“You let your guard down.” Levi said with a smile as he deactivates his static shell.“Sure but you don’t get to tickle me. I’m not 10 anymore.” Eva grumbled and Levi laughs as he places the picture in the ca

Chapter 230; Closure
It’s been 2 whole weeks since the defeat of the Parasites but the whole world was still buzzing about it.Not only did it help resolve the still lingering resentment of normal humans against the Index and trons in general, it also boosted the images of the Guardians to the point that they got a title upgrade… ‘The Guardian Deities’ which was ironic because the guardians were fighting beings trying to become gods in the first place.This goes especially for Levi. From the rumours about him to his revelation and his fight, his fame blew up more than the other guardians. This caused people to give him new nicknames and titles but the most notable name was the one the Spider of the Web predicted almost 2 decades ago… ‘The King of Humans’When all this new fame, respect and in some extreme cases, worship emerged, most of those so called superheroes resigned. Which was mostly due to the new bound resentment to people like them using Visor and Shade as references.Those that remained were t

Chapter 229; He Who Holds The Crown
While the world continues to rave about the fight of the Guardians against the Parasites, the Index’s top command was confronted by the revelation of an old enemy coming back for another sick game before being shocked more once they learnt that someone on their side already figured it out.“You’re saying Levi West knew about Blanca all this time?” Carolina asked and Alana nods.“Why didn’t he say anything?” Amanda asked and Alana shrugs.“I think he was worried about Blanca getting whiff of it. Even I didn’t know anything about it until 30 minutes ago.” Alana said.“He told you?” Vivian asked but Alana shakes her head.“He’s still out cold. The person who told me is the only other person who knew which also happens to be the person that’s going to kill that bastard.” Alana said with a gesture to the blank screen.“Who?” The Northern Rep asked and Alana smirks.“I believe you know an agent that goes by the nickname… the ‘Devil’s Kiss’.” Alana said and the Rep’s eyes widen in fear. “I

About 2 hours after the fight, in the Index’s HQ within the city… “So you have no idea who destroyed the bases?” Callum asked with narrowed eyes at Amanda’s hologram who nods.“We were running around for days trying to find it until we got a call of an attack and decided to check it out. By the time we got there, the base was already in flames and every one in that building died either from the explosion… or were killed with hollow canons.” Amanda said with concerned expression her face.“The same thing happened in Greece.” Vivian grumbled in her hologram form beside Amanda.“And South Korea.” Hunt, Vivian and Veronica’s father said with low growl in his voice as he sits across Vivian in a holographic form as well.“What about New York?” Callum asked and Amanda responds.“It was the biggest out of the four bases so the attack left the squad there a little overwhelmed with the damage. The Erased is helping with the clean-up but Diana’s replacement confirmed that the same thing happen

Barely 2 minutes ago…… “I thought you said that place was safe.” Gwen said as she runs with Nina and Peter leading them through the tunnels underground. “Emphasis on the ‘was’. Plans change.” Maeve said with a nonchalant expression that makes the children even more worried. “I hope they’re all okay.” Alex said with hopeful voice and Alice squeezes his shoulder. “They will be.” Alice said and Alex smiles… just as Eli stops with his eyes narrowed and a hand on his mask. A second later, Maeve, Nina and Peter stop too… just as an explosion occurs several metres behind them. “Whoa.” Cyrus grumbled as he stumbles and turns with widened eyes as the flames from the explosion suddenly barrels through the passage towards them. “Get behind-” Peter grunted as he tries to use her steel form but stumbles just as Eli steps up with his mask down. “Eli!” Alex said as the flames and debris continue to approach him with terrifying speed but Eli remains calm as he takes a deep breath.

In one of the four battlegrounds…Cain was now on the ground; eyes widen as their body crumbles away with a reflector seen activated on their chest.They look up and flinch as Hana, Rana and Camie despite being all injured in different places with varying severity, stand around him with the familiar amprade glowing under their skin and their eyes.“How is this possible?” Cain grumbled.“Boosted or not, you were still only capable of using two gears simultaneously. With three seeming to be your limit if you push yourself hard enough." Rana said."But there’s only so many combinations that could work and I’ve fought a monster that could use dozens of different gears simultaneously. Compared to Zero, you’re nothing.” Hana added with a cold tone in her voice.“No.” Cain mumbled with tears in their eyes as they raise an arm to them. “Help… Gil… Mum…” Cain arm finally crumbles away into nothing… followed by the rest of their body.The same event occurs in another place… where Zack was now o

Hidden beneath the chaos caused by the fights above… Nina grunts from the burns on her arm which Maeve tends to. “Are you okay?” Cyrus asked and Nina grunts as Maeve ties her wounds. “Yeah. I just feel stupid for trying to stop her.” Nina grumbled and a pained laugh draws her attention to Peter who was even more injured with Gwen tending to him. “That’s what we get for forgetting she’s Einstein’s little girl. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” Peter said before wincing as Gwen washes his wounds. “Still… I thought she was trained assassin. Going this far was too much especially since Mr Levi’s still alive.” Maeve grumbled with a glance at the screen where Levi was seen arguing with Eva before being caught up in a smoke bomb attack, blocking them from sight. “I can understand her emotions. Even I’m fighting the urge to go especially since I can’t even see my father.” Barry said with a frown at one of the screens which only shows the ice fortress with the faint sight of flam

“Dad!!!!!!” Eva shouted as she jumps to her feet with her widened purple eyes fixed at the now hollow ground where Levi was standing without a single trace of him left. “I don’t believe it.” Peter mumbled with shocked eyes while Nina tightly clenches her fists with a pained but still hopeful look in her eye.“Eva.” Alice said as she turns to Eva who was beginning to hyperventilate.“No. No. No. No.” She continues to mumble with tear streaming down her cheeks. Alice and some others move to comfort her but Nina and Peter quickly stop them as black markings begin to crawl onto Eva’s body.“Please. No.”Meanwhile…Blanca just stares with completely shocked eyes at the hollow ground where Levi was standing while Gilgamesh smiles evilly.He then turns back to Blanca who quickly stops time again… before gasping as Gilgamesh’s hand tears another rift that allows him to enter the time stopped world again. “No. Stay away.” Blanca said as he turns to run before gasping as Gilgamesh was now in

12:54 pm…Under the hot afternoon sun, the Sanctuary continues to be bombarded with the chaos created by the parasites.But due to the efforts of the Index, virtually all civilians were safely evacuated to safe points where they, along with the rest of the world watch, via news drones, the battles between these new enemies and the only humans capable of fighting them……In one part of the city, Valentina stands with heavy breaths escaping her mouth while the several cuts on her body continue to heal quickly.She laughs as she looks up to Veronica with some bruises who growls with blood stained claws. “I’d say I underestimated you, Wolf. Your claws are even sharper than the Reaper’s scythe.”Veronica suddenly scoffs. “Wrong again.” Valentina furrows her brows in confusion which makes Veronica smile with beastly sharp teeth.“If you think my claws are sharper than Hana’s blades then she must have really held back when she fought you.”“Is that right?” Valentina chuckled as the last of he
