Chapter 33That night, Maverick had a nightmare and he jolted awake, sweating and panting. He looked at the time and saw that it was just 2am in the morning. He looked around and then sighed. He had dreamt that he watched his parents die again just the same way they had died before in his past life, and in the dream he could stop crying and blaming himself for their death. He woke up with the dame guilt hanging on his chest like it had actually happened. Maverick began thinking about how everything happened last time. Until he had died in his past life he was never able to discover just what led to his parents death, or what may have caused it. He doesn't know if it was caused by monsters or if they were poisoned. But he suspected that he was caused by monsters.After the portals opened in his last life, there were strange deaths and occurrences that humanity could not explain. Caused by the monsters that had escaped from their portals. He vividly remembered one occasion where a
Chapter 34 FIVE MONTHS LATER. Maverick and his team just came out of a portal after successfully claiming it. The moment they did, everyone around started clapping and cheering them up for the successful completion of the mission that otherwise seemed so difficult.Maverick smiled as he scratched the back of his head not really wanting the cheers, but it really felt good. Reminded him of how popular he was in his last life.Maverick remembered just how popular he had been in his past life and it made him nostalgic. The alpha team had become one of the most popular A class teams around because of their success rates when it comes to completing missions, but it still couldn't be compared to his previous life. It was so because the specialised team do not really get much credit for the missions they get, they are mostly the kind of people that operate behind the scenes, so the public do not really know so much of their exploits to even consider them to be people worth knowing. This po
Chapter 35 Maverick tried to sleep but he couldn't, he was tired from the last mission and needed the rest but it seemed something out there was out to make sure he didn't sleep.The alarm going off in the bureau had woken him up. "Sleeping in tHs place is always so impossible" he groaned as he rolled over and placed his pillow over his head to block off the blaring alarm.The alarm always goes off whenever they discover a new portal. Whenever a new portal is reported to have been opened, the alarms go off to alert every talented in the building so that they can go out and immediately close the portal.However Maverick didn't get up, since he was just coming back from a mission several houses ago and needed to rest to replenish his strength.****"What's happening?" Natasha asked, she knew what was happening but she just wanted an affirmation from the people working in the control room."A new portal has been reported to have opened in town, just in front of the main roads in town.
Chapter 36"We're number one again on the popularity list." Talia said to Jiren as they were in a vehicle on their way to their new mission."huh?" Jiren said as he looked at her, obviously lost in thought."I say we are number one again on the popularity list, our team." she said this time, waving her phone in his face to show him what the news said."oh, yes of course. Did you expect anything less?" He smiled. "not really but it's expected since we've been doing so well in all our missions lately" "Thanks to me that is." Jiren smirked. "oh please, you're invisible in the team""You jest, I am the success of our team. You know it." he bragged with confidence. "Okay, okay. Maybe you helped a little but don't flatter yourself." Talia said wanting to irk him more. But he just rolled his eyes and looked at the window And then he asked. "what do you expect from the mission today?""I dunno, they said it's a C class portal. We should be fine." Talia said, as she went back to pressing
Chapter 37 Energy infusion+ Enhanced Senses: Energy sensingMaverick activated his skills and he was able to sense any form of energy within the vicinity, even those monsters lurking around. It's been some months since he Learnt the sensing technique and has been able to perfect it. He was able to detect the monsters hidden under the ground, in the crevices and the holes."they are coming" He and Sky said together and then they looked at one another. Sky had activated her talent as well and was immediately able to detect the monsters and tell which way they should go. Hers was more precise and detailed compared to Maverick's, because it was her talent.Just as they had said it, the team didn't debate on who to believe, but immediately readied themselves for combat. Just then, the giant snakes erupted from the ground and through the holes and crevices, charging at them. In no time, the place was covered in crawling snakes.Each of these snakes was about 18 ft long and half a metre w
Chapter 38"She's getting worse" Sky said, as she tried to keep Talia steady. Talia was beginning to burn up. Her temperature was rising and she was sweating profusely. Her eyes were shut and she kept mumbling incoherent words."They should hurry up" Theon said as he tried to fend off some of the snacks that were heading for Sky and Talia. Sky was focused on providing momentary first aid for Talia, so her health does not get worse. While Theon focused on fending off the other snakes that were around. ****Maverick propelled himself forward with his talents, he used his force control to blast forward with so much speed that he shot at the snake like a rocket, attempting to punch it. But the snake again was able to avoid it as it kept running ahead faster than before. Jiren was running on the walls by the side of the snake, shooting more and more ice blasts at the snake but all was to know avail.Jiren used his ices to push himself ahead, well timed with one of Maverick's attacks, s
Chapter 39"come on breath Talia, breath. Don't die like this." Sky said, trying desperately to keep Talia alive. But her attempts weren't so effective and Talia's health kept getting worse by the minute. "she's going into shock.just what kind of a venom is this?" Theon ran over to them having dispatched the snakes that were attacking them. He held Talia's hand and squeezed it tightly. "Just what is keeping those two? Hurry up already" Theon said and just then the entire place shook from a tremor of some kind, as though there was an earthquake happening."what's going on?" Theon said as he looked at Sky. Sky immediately activated her talent and navigated the place to find an answer. "Oh no. I think they are fighting the boss monster right now, on the surface. That's what's causing the tremors. But I can't find Jiren, it's just Maverick up there." Sky informed Theon."I think we should leave this place, before it caves in on us" Theon began carrying Talia, trying to get to safety be
Chapter 40 Maverick was still staring in disbelief at what had just happened. At this point he had forgotten about the pain that was pillaging his body and was just focused on looking at Jiren.He could not still speak but he had several questions to ask him. He had seen the black aura around him, the strange energy, the strange ominous presence that he had emitted that was potent enough to make a B+ monster try to escape, the strong display of power. He was glad that he survived and that Jiren had defeated the monster but there were a lot of questions he had to ask.'Jiren, what just happened? ''what's this power that you are using and how did you get it?''How did you get so strong?''This is not something a B class can do, how are you doing it?''How is your ice now able to turn to crystal?'Maverick cursed that he could not speak yet, the most he could do at this point was to twiddle his fingers and toes. "that's settles that"Jiren said as he watched the frozen corpse of the
