2024-10-29 19:42:56It was a chilled afternoon and the cool breeze blows through a peaceful forest in Ethiopia, Africa. But on one of the tallest trees, a blonde figure remains concealed.
A faint violet aura around her body as she stares out in the distance, using a small telescope to she focuses at the moving dust cloud speeding through the forest.
She monitors the movement of the cloud and turns to the predicted path where a forest clearing could be seen.
“The target’s coming your way, Unit B.” She mumbled to herself as she watches the dust cloud speeding towards the clearing.
Meanwhile, the moving dust cloud was just the result of a stampede of bizarrely large greenish furred hyenas, their usual ‘laughing’ like sounds now replaced by their dral like growls as they stomp across the forest, the ground grumbling beneath them.
As predicted, the herd approaches the forest clearing… where a figure leaps out of the bushes and sla

Altered Cosmos Chapter 47; Purpose
As the men and women professionally scuffled towards their seats, Levi pays attention to the figures sitting at the high-table.On both sides, the seats were being filled by ministers and presidents of countries like India, Australia, Nigeria.But the table in front seemed to be the VVIP among the other leaders as not just the Chairman of the Index, together with the four Branch Index heads were present but also the presidents of USA, South Africa, Russia and Japan were seated as well with all their security teams standing behind them.Levi gulps a little and Lucy squeezes his hand again. “It’s going to be okay.” She whispered.Levi looks down and notices her other hand shivering slightly. “Are you telling me or yourself?”She follows his eyes to her shivering hand and clenches it into a fist, punching Levi with a little laugh. “Both. We’re getting through this together.”“Of course
Altered Cosmos Chapter 48; School's Out
After a long year, the most anticipated day for the first year students not just at the Southern Branch Tron College but the other three colleges as well had finally arrived, the last day of school.It was the afternoon of the lecture-free last day and Levi was up in his room, sorting out his clothes and belongings back into his suitcases while B relaxes on his bed, listening to the music he was playing from his Index band.Levi grunts as he zips up his bag and places it upright. The music playing from his band changes and he turns to B moving her finger to change the songs.“You know; most servants help their masters with the heavy lifting.”“I ‘am’ helping.” A new song plays and she twists her face in disgust before changing it. “If you listen to the perfect music, then you’d have fun while working.”Levi places both hands on his hips and glares at her. “I meant you should help me

The moment the white haired figure makes eye contact with Levi, she grins widely.“Levi!” She shouted out and before he could even blink, Lucy zooms forward with excitement and red lightning crackling her body and gives Levi a tight hug. “I missed you, baby bro.”“Seriously? We saw each other two weeks ago.” He chuckled as he hugged her back.“I know. It’s been too long.” Lucy said as she continues to hug him when she hears an awkward cough from the Index agent and quickly pulls away from Levi. “Sorry. Got a little excited there.” She said with an apologetic smile as her static shell fades away.The agent adjusts her glasses with a stern expression on her face. “Now that that’s over. We can get to the debriefing.”Levi looks around the room filled with pro agents and friends with a curious expression on his face just as Lucy throws an arm over Levi’s sho
Altered Cosmos Chapter 50; The Calm Before The Storm
About two days after the briefing, Levi and Lucy decided to go out for some ‘brother-sister’ bonding time at one of the Index’s main training halls. It was still around 10 in the morning and the agents already training there, stopped as they felt the rumbling and crashing sounds coming from one of the training room with the words ‘In-Use’ written over the entrance. Inside this room, one of the training droids smashes against the wall after being flung by Levi. He spins around, the lightning coating his body leaving some scorch marks on the ground as he attacks several droids charging towards him. He rips out the arm of a droid and kicks its body away before smashing the severed arm into another droid. “Duck!” Levi suddenly ducks as a large droid swings a fist over his head but a familiar figure coated in red lightning drives her foot into the droid, sending it flying into a wall with a heavy crash. “Thanks sis.” Levi said as they jumped apart to avoid the blasts of several flying

More days’ fly by as Levi enjoys his break but as with all great things, the session break comes to an end.All new second year students retook the same entrance exams as before where some considerable changes were observed in all students particularly the S class.Like how Levi’s top speed was now a little bit over lightning speed or how MJ gave the punching machine a blow so hard that it smashes through the wall and collides with another wall inside.After the exams, Levi finds himself back in the Tron College except this time, he and his classmates were escorted to the second-year hostel block where Levi gets a new room.He also had a new roommate which happened to be a Mastron in his class called Mike who he fought during Mr Jerry’s first class and also happens to be Felix’s old roommate.The one which he always complained to Levi about because he was usually filthy and loud.“This should be fun.

The next day, second-year lectures began and Levi was taking notes from a new lecturer about the World Tron Tournament which was now 2 months and 2 weeks away.The lecturer suddenly gets a call and excuses himself just as Felix slides closer to Levi and MJ on the bench. “Hey.”Levi looks at Felix with the corner of his eye and once Felix doesn’t pull away, he sighs in defeat. “You want to ask about the date, right?”“Duh. You’re sitting together so I’m guessing things went well.” Felix said, pointing at them but his face falls when he notices the awkward look they shared. “What happened?”MJ sighs before speaking. “Let’s just say, Levi and I are better off as friends.”Felix turns to Levi who shrugs in agreement. “What the hell happened on that date?”Levi folds his arms over his chest as he explains, recalling a moment from the date.<M

“… With all that said, the first stage has begun.” The officer said those words in such a calm fashion that the trons failed to react for a few seconds… before simultaneously running to the gates in realisation.As Levi closes in on the gate, he smiles at Felix, Hana and MJ by his side. “Good luck.” Levi said and MJ grins at him.Hana smiles brightly at him as she speaks. “You-” She gets cut off as they push through the gate. “Too?”“Whoa!” Levi shouted out as he finds himself and his friends free-falling into a large and barely-lit pit.MJ looks back up where the gates were still opened and unprepared students emerge only to fall into the pit as well.“This is insane.” MJ mumbled as Levi squints into the dark abyss below him where other students were free-falling as well.His Area Scope extends several feet but he still couldn’t sense an end to
Altered Cosmos Chapter 54; Survival Of The Fittest
As Levi steps through the warped space, the sounds of his friends as well as the feeling of his best friend’s arm over his shoulder suddenly vanishes as he steps out the other side of the gate.He suddenly finds himself in a now more humid and warm environment surrounded by tall and healthy trees. He turns around and sees that he is now completely alone with no signs of his friends or the gate he just walked through.“Okay?” He mumbled as he looked around with his Area Scope but he doesn’t sense anyone with his range limit still around 80 metres at best.<Try using that tag sensor ability.> B suggested and Levi turns his tag over, runs his thumb over the button before pressing it. The wave sends out but Levi doesn’t feel a thing and after a full 10 seconds of silence, he sighs with disappointment. <Maybe it’s broken.>Levi stuffs the tag into his pocket as he responds to B, telepathically. <Or there

Epilogue
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
