It’s the fourth day in the dimension of the Second Challenge of the World Tron Tournament and Levi finds himself face to face with a new enemy who stares at him with battle ready red glowing eyes.
B speaks to Levi telepathically, concern felt in her tone as she takes note of Levi’s still weakened body. <Are you really willing to do this, Master? Your body’s still healing and I want to help but…>
<My matrix isn’t in peak condition so your energy might actually destroy it?>
<Precisely.> B sighed and Levi chuckled a little in his mind.
<It’s okay. He’s not going to let us go whether I take Raven or not. Besides…> Levi causally swings the kunai on his finger with a small smile on his face. <I get to try some new gears I’ve been working on.> Levi clenches the kunai again, ready to fight………
A second later, the tron vanishes and Levi barely blo
It’s been events after events for the past 4 days and now, Levi finds himself staring at a certain teleporting tron’s unconscious body on the ground, his blood slowly pooling under him… with a familiar female figure staring at the tron, a bloodied weapon in her hand.Levi suddenly glares at Raven who flicks the blood off her weapon and wipes some blood from her cheek. “What the hell?!” Levi asked, angrily while she looks up to him with a smile.“Well, good morning to you too, cutie.” She chuckled a little before realising how serious Levi glared at her. She sighed and rested her sword on her shoulder. “Relax, he’s fine. I made sure to miss all vital organs. An average tron can recover from this with no problem.”She looks down on the tron’s body and smirks a little. “I didn’t mean to cut that deep though. Must still be the effect of her gear.”Levi then turned around to s
In the middle of the plant infested clearing, the plant tron continues to look down on a partially injured Levi.She smirks as she inclines her head up a little, commanding several vines which were quietly creeping towards Levi to suddenly wrap around him, covering his entire body…but is immediately blown apart by his lightning stream just as the tron notices a lightning coated object streaking towards her.A large vine forms a shield but once she saw the kunai easily rip through the hard wood, she narrowly escapes by moving her throne to the side just as she sees Levi in the air in front of her, a bolt of lightning focused on one hand.“Nice try.” She waves her hand at him, commanding the sunflowers to fire another beam of bright light at Levi who quickly closes his eyes making the tron smile as she commands four large sharp wooden spikes to fly towards him…… but Levi suddenly weaves over one of the spikes and blasts the o
It’s another afternoon in the vast forest located in the middle of nowhere and things calm down as the challenge draws to a close.In one of the tallest trees, a familiar white-haired figure sits on a branch, his back to the trunk and his blue eyes on the two tags in his hands. As he turns them over to stare at the back, B suddenly appears, hovering in front of him in an upside down position. She grumbled and Levi shrugs as he sets the tags to his laps with a sigh. His thoughts reduced to a halt as the tags suddenly began to glow brightly in his hands. Suddenly the tags hover out of his grasp and began to spin round Levi’s body.“That’s new.” He mumbled as the tags continue to spin around him faster and faster while also getting brighter… until a sudden surge of bright light erupts around him, covering his body completely.When the light fades away a second later, Levi was nowhere to be
At the table of the second-year Southern S class table where the candidates for the next round were seated, a sudden silence fills the table.After almost a minute, Jake sighs before speaking up. “You didn’t get anything, huh?”Felix chuckles with an embarrassed look on his face as he speaks. “I honestly forgot we even had a mission like that.”“Same.” MJ said with Craig nodding as well.“It’s fine. I didn’t obtain any info either. But it doesn’t necessarily have to be information on the Empire itself.” Jake said as he glances at the other students, too busy with their actions to notice them. “If you encountered or witnessed a notable tron either by suspicious characters or striking abilities. It could still give us some useful insight on who to look out for.”A few glances were shared as they looked at the students who had qualified and recalled the encounters in the forest.Mary sighs before speaking first. “I was lucky enough to get my target on the first try so I didn’t bother mys
The next morning before breakfast, Levi had already taken his bath and was now brushing his teeth in the mirror.After a minute, he rinses his mouth and inches closer to the mirror to get a good look at his teeth just the memory of the events of last night flashed in his mind especially that of Alana’s kiss. “Ugh.” Levi glances at B in the bath and glaring at him. “Can you stop thinking about that? You even dreamt of it a little and now I can’t get it out of my head.” B grumbled. Levi gurgles some water and spits it back into the sink before speaking. “It’s not my fault.” He then turns to B, a cocky smile on his face as he speaks. “If I didn’t know any better, it sounds like you’re jealous.”B scoffs at him as she splashes in the water while speaking. “Jealous? ha! That human has nothing on me. Besides, I can do more than kiss you if I wanted to.”Levi brushes his hair with a little chuckle. “I don’t think a little kid like you should be saying things like that.” He said.“Oh? You p
It’s the fifth battle in the third round of the World Tron Tournament and Levi closes his eyes as his energy level surges, coating his body in his aura.He opens his and stares at his opponent who stretches out his large bird-like wings. The barrier goes up, covering them and the officer holds an arm. “Begin!”Levi’s static shell instantly activates as he zooms forward, he removes a hand from his pocket and attempts to karate chop the tron but the tron quickly flaps his wings with enough power to create a massive gust of wind that not only sends him into the air but sends Levi flying back.Levi quickly flips to his feet and skids to a stop with a sigh. “And here I was trying to end this quick.” He whispered to himself as he felt the air around him begin to howl and he looks up to see Ave in the air, flapping his wings to keep himself in the air.“Nice attempt, Silver Ghost.” Levi narrows his eyes at Av
According to the weather report, it was supposed to be cold morning with a chance of cloudiness… but the weather over the stadium was distorted as both hot and cold winds fill the air. With an explosion of fire and debris, Felix flies forward, fire burning around his body. His opponent, Elsa waves a hand at him, creating several ice-cold spikes that were shot in his direction but Felix skilfully weaves past each spike.Elsa then sends a wide-ice column at him and Felix dodges one last spike with a spin before quickly creating a ball of fire and hurling it at the ice column, creating a loud blast with hot steam and ice shards sent flying… Felix grunts as he continues through the steam cloud just as he encounters an ice wall already inches from his face.“Crap.” He mumbled as he tries to pull back but he feels another ice wall to his back just as the one in front of him zooms in his direction, several ice spikes created on its surface until it rams into the other ice wall, crushing wh
A few minutes of sadness and cleaning later, it was time for the next match. The contenders were randomly selected and Hana finds herself facing a transmutron opponent who created a large hammer.“You may begin.” The battle begun and just like that…it was over as Hana stands over her opponent with gravitational energy radiating from her fists and a shattered hammer beside the tron’s head.Hana was so pissed and rage-filled that she didn’t even bat an eye as she raised a fist up with a heavy energy stored in it. “I give! I give! You win!” The tron mumbled in fear and the officer speaks.“Dyna has forfeited. Reaper is the winner.” But to most of their fears, Hana didn’t seem to hear as she continues to glare at the tron with surprising killing intent on her face. “Agent Reaper, the match is ov-” He is suddenly cut off as Hana smashes her fist down with an explosion of debris and dust.
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
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
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. Seeing this
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
