Cheers ring from the tournament as the 7th match between Deeva and Reaper began to get interesting. Justin speaks enthusiastically into the mic.“Looks like we have ourselves a cat fight here! Who do you think will come out on top?!” Miss Balalaika just smirks as Hana continues to glare at her opponent.MJ jumps up from her seat and screams out. “Come on, Hana! Kick her sorry butt all the way back to C class!” Craig scoffs with arms folded over his chest. “You never cheered for me, MJ.” Craig grumbled.Mary chuckles to herself, making Craig throw her a suspicious glare. She then winces when MJ screams out again. “Why is everyone so loud?” Mary mumbled. Jake and Levi just stare in concentration as Hana continues to watch Deeva cautiously…just as she began to move forward slowly…“Reaper’s making her move.” Justin commented as Reaper continues to walk forward.Deeva remains unmoved by Hana’s tactic and suddenly, Hana stops, a determined look on her face.She stomps the ground, once aga
A moment of silence hangs in the air as the dust cloud settles with a literal Titan searching the dust below for any movements… just as she stumbles back, staring at the small figure below who pushed her back. “Is that all you got?” MJ grumbled, a hand wiping the dust from her face and her clothes covered in dust. Titan grins at MJ below, cracking her knuckles with a loud pop just as MJ leaps into the air, energy radiating from her fists.MJ suddenly blocks a punch from Titan, the impact sends her crashing into the barrier around them…Titan then attempts to punch her again but MJ bounces off the barrier and rolls onto Titan’s arm before leaping forward and throwing a kick into Titan’s face, causing her to stumble back. Titan then grunts as she grabs MJ in her hand and glares at her.“I’m tired of this.” Titan grumbled. MJ gasps as Titan hurls her into the air...before dealing her a series of punches while moving around her and for someone of her size, it was impressive to see how f
The time is now almost 11am at the arena. The audience both in person and all over the world cheer and chant as the first battle of the second round reaches its climax. Levi stands several metres from Elsa who watches him cautiously as he stared at his hand with sparked with electricity, the heat from it causing the cool air around it to sizzle. Levi asked and B materializes in front of him, humming as she processes his idea. B said, telepathically while gesturing to Elsa with her head.Levi nods as lightning crackles around his body as his static shell reactivates and Elsa reacts with a set of spikes surrounding her, tips as sharp as needles.With a thunderclap, Levi vanishes and Elsa reacts by sending the deadly ice spikes flying towards his speeding figure. But Levi moves with a blur, evading the spikes and destroying others with his electrical gears. Elsa grunts as she suddenly creates a mist of snow and Levi gri
After asking the guard, he checks in with his commanding officer who agrees and escorts Levi and MJ to the clinic, where they went through a particular clinic room and see two familiar figures in the room. “Hana!” MJ shouted out as she rushes in and wraps Hana seated on the hospital bed in a tight hug. “I’m so glad you’re alright.” Levi turns to the other figure with a sceptic look as he speaks. “And what’re you doing here?” Felix chuckles as he gives Levi their signature handshake before responding. “I just came to see if my girlfriend’s alright. If that’s a crime, take me away.” Levi chuckles, taking a sit on one of the chairs in the room while Felix sits on the chair beside him. “Saw your match. Thank you for avenging me.” Levi smirks as he answers. “No problem. Thanks for the advice.” Before Felix could answer, the squeal of MJ gets their attention. Once Hana makes eye contact with Felix, they both blushed and looked away, embarrassed. Levi stares at them for a moment before
Somewhere in the outer edges of the stands, Lucy dressed in a causal outfit with sunglasses on her eyes and a baseball cap to cover her hair, stares wide-eyed as Levi’s motionless body lies in the middle of the platform.She grits her teeth at his opponent who struggles to stand to his feet. “Why that little-” She suddenly covers her ear when she hears a command from the com.Nina in a similar causal outfit and sunglasses, seated beside Lucy whispers to her. “We have movement. Let’s go.” Nina said.Lucy turns to her with a concerned look in her eyes and speaks. “I thought you cared about Levi.”“I do and that’s why we need to focus on the mission. Get into position.” Nina grumbled as she gets up, holding a half-eaten cotton candy in her hand.“But-” Lucy was interrupted by Justin who finally speaks up.“I don’t think Silva is getting up anytime soon.” Immediately he said that, the figure on the ground immediately opened his eyes which glowed completely with blue light. “I guess that
As the exciting and friendly tournament reaches its last legs, it takes a sudden dark turn as a mysterious figure takes over the screen.“Good afternoon, world. We briefly interrupt this program to give you a very important message. I’m sure you’ve been hearing rumours of an organization called the Dark Empire. Well, I’m glad to tell you that the organization is as real as the air we breathe and right now, we want one thing and one thing only…or else…” The figure snaps his finger and immediately some of the spectators get up, wielding weapons and gears which they aimed at the audience as well as other armed men that emerged from the exits in the stands. Levi turns to the guards at the stage who were all Empire agents in disguise, their weapons pointed at the figures on the stage.“Oh and in case you think we’re not threatening enough…we got a help from a ‘friend’ of ours.” The figure said and immediately all the droids and drones got back up but this time, they all had an eerie fami
Within the room of small warehouse located in the middle of nowhere…a figure lies on a bed, a blanket covering him…until suddenly the figure shoots up from the bed, eyes widened and searching erratically. “Hey man.” The shaken up Levi turns to the seat beside the door where he sees his best friend seated.“Felix?” Levi asked as he throws off the blanket and gets off the bed before quickly catching himself on the bed frame as he stumbles.“Easy.” Felix said as he gets up, a concerned expression on his face as he helps Levi sit back on the bed. “The doctor said you should rest for now. In fact, you shouldn’t even be awake until a few more hours.”Levi turns to a window which displays the night sky and speaks. “What time is it?” Felix shows him his band which displayed ‘12:13am’. “Then I must have been out for almost 12 hours?” Levi mumbled and groans as he rubs his head, his mind flashing back to the moment before he passed out… the look on Phil’s face making him frown.“What happened?
Back to the present time, Felix wipes the tears in his eyes and turns to Levi who holds his head between his palms, hot tears streaming down his face once again.“I wish I could have done something. Created another fire beast to help her but…” Felix trailed off as he began to grip the chair’s arms with enough force to crack the wood. “I could barely concentrate on the beast I created and I’m not like Kenji. I don’t have that kind of control yet. I-” Felix gets interrupted by Nina who places a hand on his shoulder and shakes her head at him. She gestures to the door and Felix nods as he wipes the tears still on his face. He stands up and gives Levi one last look. “I’m sorry.” Felix mumbled but Levi doesn’t answer, his eyes still fixed on the ground. Felix sighs and follows Nina to the door where she suddenly stops and turns to Levi.“I forgot to mention. We managed to pinpoint the Empire’s main unit from the agents we captured and our own speculations. The heads think you should part
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
