Chapter 13:Alfred sat in his office, decorated with numerous laurels and a large portrait of his family; someone knocked on the door."Come in," Alfred said.Casimir slowly opened the door."Casimir, come sit," he pointed to the chair in front of him. "Dionne said you wanted to see me." He said "Yes, it's concerning the new group threatening causing trouble""The Outlaws?.""Yes, them, I know you grew up in the wastelands where you grew up and met Dionne.""That's old news." He rolls his eyes "So, no one knows those parts more than you, I am assigning this mission to you. I want the implosion of Outlaws, and only you can do it," he said, pouring himself a cup of tea."I had that in mind already, but there is one thing, though. Your son Gabriel told me that he wants to join my team f…""I'm afraid he can't." He interrupts him"And why is that?" He asked "He isn't ready to face the cruelty of this world.""Well, if he wants to become an esper, it's something that he cannot escape."

Chapter 14:Casimir's van drove through an isolated road; loud music played from the car. Tori and Pixie both sang along loudly."Could you guys keep it down?" Trevor said."Hey, we're still mad at ya," Tori replied."And why is that?" Trying to sound like he cared, Trevor slouched in the chair with a hat on his face."You just had to go all out on Gabriel, didn't you?" Tori said "Well, the kid said he could handle it, and the Boss was there, so what did you expect me to do?""At least play it safe," Pixie responded."I thought that was... forget it." "Welcome to Lower Haven ," Casimir said, reading from a signpost."Are we there yet?" Kyle asked."No, it might take a while before we get there," Casimir answered."Hey, Casimir, this quiet kid, he is Arsenal, right?" Pixie asked."Yeah.""Hmm, he doesn't look all that dangerous to me, and Ignite trained him. I thought he would be all..." Pixie gestured with her hands to convey the rest of the sentence."I wish Gabriel was here; I wou

Chapter 15"We are here," Casimir said. The town of Lower Haven came into sight. A little worn out signpost hung just outside of the town gate"Home sweet home." Casimir parked the van just outside of the town."Why are we stopping here?" Trevor asked."What do you think would happen when people see a suspicious-looking black van drive through their streets, huh?" Pixie said with her pitched voice."Aight, aight, everybody down." Casimir opened the door."And where do we go from here?" Tori asked."Where I grew up," he said, a wide smile stretched across his face."Oi, let's get moving already," Trevor shouted."You ain't even left the damn bus yet." Pixie kicked the bus, and Trevor came down."How can he be this lazy and be a Grade Zero?" Kyle asked."Well, kid, I never asked to be given that grade. I don't care about hierarchy and stuff like that. The espers are graded immediately; they are registered; your ability determines what grade you would be put. The lowest is Grade four thro

Chapter 16Kyle sits on the roof of the building, staring at the full moon."Can't sleep?" Casimir says, sitting beside him."Not really.""What's wrong, Kyle? Is New Haven not what you thought it would be like?" He asked "No, it's...""'Cause you've been here for a while now, and you still don't seem free at all. Are you feeling guilty about the death of Lana and Kael?"Kyle looks away."Kid, listen. You can't beat yourself up over that. I've told you countless times. Do you think that wherever they may be, they would be happy seeing you like this? If they were really your friends, they would want to see you smiling and move on. Find something that drives you. What do you want the most, Kyle? Find that, and once you do, protect it with your life.""Um… has anyone seen Amiri? I can't seem to find him anywhere," Trevor asks from below them."He should be off somewhere meditating or something." Casimir responded.A loud explosion is heard just beside them. Casimir jumps to his feet."T

Chapter 1DRIP! DRIP!! DRIP!!!The rain poured heavily. Armed men in suits stood behind a barricade of cars, all aiming at a single person dressed in an all-black suit. With floodlights pointed at him, his platinum blonde hair stood out under the light."Stand back! You are outnumbered!" a voice shouted from behind the barricade. He pranced towards them."Don't let him come near us! Where the hell are the espers?" another man asked fearfully, his lab coat covered in dirt and smoke, with broken glasses."Doctor Michael, your time ends here." He said "Don't get ahead of yourself, Arsenal. If you kill me, you're starting a war against Paradise, and even you won't be able to handle that by yourself."Arsenal stared at him, his light blue eyes sending fear into the people present.Sound Manipulation…Arsenal threw himself backward to evade an energy attack aimed at him from above. Three masked people dropped from a helicopter."The espers from Paradise are here, Doctor.""You see, Arsenal,
Arsenal Chapter 2
Chapter 2A young Kyle walked along the sidewalk, lost in thought, his clothes torn and covered in dust. The scene of the murder of his parents played over and over in his head. Absentmindedly, he bumped into a man and fell to the ground. The man smiled at him and offered his hand."Come with me."Kyle and the man sat opposite each other in a restaurant. Kyle devoured his food, and the man watched and smiled at him. Kyle paused."I'm sorry," he mumbled with his mouth full."It's okay," Sinclair said, still smiling."Why are you helping me?" Kyle asked "There's no harm in helping a helpless kid on the street." Sinclair responded "No, I know you. You've been monitoring me for a while now.""Perceptive, I see. So why did you agree to join me?""I know you want something from me, and you wouldn't poison me. Besides, I was kind of hungry," Kyle said with a flushed face."Well, since you know this much, there's no need for small talk, is there? Yes, I know who you are, Kyle Rodriguez, the

Chapter 3Sinclair entered his office, followed by two other people dressed in black suits, holding a small envelope."Back already?" he asked, lighting his cigar."Extermination complete, sir," one of them answered."Good. This world has one less bastard in it.""I know it's not my business, but Kyle's development is crazy, sir. He has completed high-level assassinations all by himself.""He has even garnered the name 'Arsenal' from his colleagues," the other one added.Sinclair smiled"It's all because of how you trained him." He said a bright smile graced his face "I don't think it's just that. You all work because you don't have anything you want to achieve. Kyle is driven by pure revenge. And also because I trained him that's why make him powerful."+Kael sat in a lotus position, covered in aura on top of the mansion's roof. Lana walked towards him holding a pink lunch box "You've been taking your training seriously, huh?" she asked."Of course. You don't know how much I want

Chapter 4Arsenal and Lana stood behind Kael, who was working on a laptop in front of him."What did you say you found?" Lana asked."While you guys were busy chasing around images, I saw that. By the way, it was really funny," Kael giggled."Okay…""I took the liberty of going through Mr. Hemsworth's stuff, and guess what I found out." Kael punched some buttons on the laptop and brought up an image."Calvin Ricardo, another member of the Mind's Eyes team. The last time he and Hemsworth spoke was just a couple of minutes before he was killed. Apparently, he was also a target of assassination on two occasions, but he successfully escaped both of them.""Probably an esper?" Lana asked "I don't know because it doesn't state here that he is an esper." He responded, his hand on his chin"Can you find out where he lives?" Lana asked."That won't be a problem." Kael continued typing."How about I tell you where he is now." Kael said +A jazzy tune played on a car radio, and a man in his mi
