Recall that pilot?
The pilot smiled at Blessing, tapping her by the shoulders. It was warm, bringing back memories of the first time they ever met. The first trip they ever took.On that trip, she had the time of her life. Though not in a positive way. After all, who wanted to be in a chopper where live rounds were shattered on it?Certainly not her. However, seeing him, the memory of that time came back like it was just yesterday. The stoic manner he responded to her, her queries and worries. None of that was present as at now. In fact, if she had not been on the flight, then, she would have argued this was not him. This was not the same stoic pilot she flew with. The pilot who left the Comanche Chopper just to go outside and engage some fighter jets. She was happy to be here though. The memories she had come up with were different. Much different than she would have ever made if she was still back with Lekan. Though, she missed him so much. Still, the memories in here m, the other side of life she
“Mhm!” Lekan moaned as he woke into consciousness. His eyelids fluttered now, his pupils enlarging as they soaked in the sight of his new environment. Conscious enough, he gasped out. He shot upright, from the lying position, up to a sitting one, his eyebrows frowned quizzically.One question lay on his tongue as he looked around. Where was he? How did he get here? Where was he last?This place was not any place that he knew or would think he knew. At all. It was completely different. And how did he even land in this place? The last he knew was that he was at the hospital and some people came to attack him.He frowned deeper, groaning as he held his head out with his two hands. He had a headache as he tried to wade through the fuzzy memories in his head. At this point now, he noticed a line extended into his hand.Looking at it, he saw that it was an injector line that was strapped into a vein. How did he get this line on him?His wounds had been wrapped up nicely. He was no longer bl
“What’s happening here?” The sound of a familiar voice buzzed into the ears of Lekan. He frowned, keeping one eye on the school girl while he turned to the direction the sound came from. It came from the only door that led into the rest of the house. He did not regard the door the initial time when he stood up. But now, seeing the doctor and the lawyer there, he frowned slightly towards their direction.Still, he did not let down his guard. He put his hand to his lips closer, his teeth just at the verge of biting them. Should anything go wrong here, he would not hesitate to unleash. “Oh, you’re awake.” The doctor smiled at him.She was still wearing her doctor’s coat. “How do you feel?”Lekan refused to be put down by the easing smile on her face. He could not exactly recall how he ended up here. The last he knew was that he jumped. And down he went from the floor of the hospital where those Foundation Fellows attacked him. How did he now end up here? He gritted his teeth, looking
The meal was jollof rice with fish stew, spiced with random pieces of beef in it. The aroma was captivating enough for him to instantly forget his worry about the place where he was.It had been so long since he ate home cooked food. He did not hesitate to show this as he jumped on the food instantly. The hospital food was good. However, there was the missing element that was the cooked meals in it. That extra touch that a sibling or parent would place into food, at home, that made it taste even better than food cooked in a restaurant or other places. This meal was everything that he did miss.And in a way, it made him miss his mother. He dismissed the thought now, shaking his head as he continued to eat his food. No point in recalling the accident that claimed the lives of his parents. Certainly not at a time like this. He’d prefer to keep that behind him.He grimaced, his mood soured by this thought. At his side, the girl heaved out. All eyes turned towards her now. Especially from
The plan was pretty simple to the girls, Or so it seemed to most of them. All that they had to do was to make sure that they held him down and waited for Ajay to come and finish the rest. Certainly, they knew that they could not do much in this palace, talkless of even holding their own against him. This was the reason why Jay was drafted in. And now, they could not be more grateful for the fact that ehw as where. He was on her side and for that, their confidence levels grew to astounding heights. The bold ones rushed forward. The eagerness of the girls in taking on the mission in front of them led them into a maddening charge. Their loud cries rent the air, shooting out a sensation of heated moments to the rest of the girls. They could not afford to slack now,especially with these ones leading the charge towards the man. Towards Monsieur Louise, now was their chance. Alaas, if only they knew better. “Ahhhhh!” “Move on!” “Attack!” They all cried out, lost in the fervor of ba
Lekan exhaled softly as his eyes opened slowly. He found himself on the ground, wincing in pain. Every bit of him hurt which was strange since he knew where he was. And being in this place, this was the first time he would ever feel his body hurt. Hurt this much he practically had to wince continually as he tried to get up from the ground. The atmosphere was dark all about. It had the usual toning of the SubSpace. He did not know much about the Sub Space. He just knew that the name did come naturally to him. He knew where he was and what this place was meant for. Or at least, he had a rough idea of the composition of it. It was a place where he got to communicate with both the System lady and the demon. The demon from which the powers came from. It’d been a long time since he’d met the demon. Even though he felt him then, at the hospital, ut was different from the anticipation that built in his chest. Despite the pain, the thought that he would meet the blood demon in some minute
“Heyy… heyyyyyy…” Tabitha scraeamed out ontop of her voice.One thing she hated very much, in spite of how she knew she was arrogant and hated and it tossed in her face; one thing she hated so much was seeing someone else try to dodge what they all had to do. It did not matter what reason it was for. If she could do it, then they had to try. It was not her fault that they were weak. It was not her fault that they needed a little bit of workout on the subjects matter to get well grounded on it. What mattered was that for her to put her best all into it, then the others had to tthrow their best into it. Not slack around while the rest of the girls wer getting a whopping.She grimaced as her eyes settled on the figure of Blessing. That newbie who shot up to stardom, riding on her wings, was standing still. Whatever she was doing or making her stand still like that, Tabitha was not interested.Rathe, she was pissed. Upset.It was not right. Blessing knew better but she had a strong feel
There was only one way up. And that was up. The message that this spoke to Blessing told her of what she had to do. There was hardly the time for her to waste anymore.As she stood still, the ravings of Tabitha towards Ajaya did not affect her. Indeed, it could not affect her. Not when there was a higher purpose for what she had to do. Which was not for her to stand still and watch anymore.The dream she had from that night continued playing in her head as she stood still. The dream in which she had to protect Lekan.That was the sole reason for which she joined the System Bureau. To learn how their powers worked and have a stake in it. Once she had it, then she would finally be able to make it up to him. Then and only then would her debt be paid in full.The dream, she had herself facing Leslie as a Mana Blocker. The way she threw her hands in the air as she blocked out the flow of Mana from Leslie came back to her head like it was just yesterday. The memory played out cleanly in h
His vision was not like this. The future had changed. Lekan realized that now as he stood with the Mana blockers in tow. He locked eyes with Blesing who continued with her spell, unbothered by the fact that he was hee. And the strange creature of a woman that he had grown to be familiar with, in the red flowing gowns seemed to be urging her on. Whatever Blessing was doing, the woman in the red flowing gown seemed to need it quite urgently. He could not shake off the bad feeling about it. And the sensation that's why was his opponent. The feeling that he had had to fight her in a distant future. A future which a snow repeating itself for him, His vision waived now. The things he saw changed in a blink. In this time, he saw himself on the ground and a council which held over his head. They deliberated one thing about him and how to ensure that the timeline changed. {See the prologue} It felt very familiar to him. And this time, Lekan could not deny that this happened. Understand
Lekan got out of the building. Frost things first, he would get to make sure that blessing was alright, then he would make sure that the Bureau was set right. He did not want to run. Not away from it. He had been running for far too long and look what that led him to? What if as I ran away, more things started to happen to innocent people? People like Keder, the Bureau stealing her life and youth from her. The anger started to boil in him that he did not know when he started to run towards Blessing. The latter continued her spell as more and more mana started getting sucked into it. ‘ Just then, two people landed down from a building. One Of them having purple tattoos on her back faded off into nothingness. While the other one pumped his legs towards Lekan. Itw as Frank and Lekan. In no time, Frank caught up with Lekan and with strong hands, he hoisted him from behind. “What?” Lekan gasped out. His arms locked up from behind his back.. By the time he turned backwards, he
Just like it started, in the suddenness of the day, it ended. Relief swept across the ranks of the system bureau in one accord. They could all sit back and take in gasps of air. They had one priority while trying to ascertain what they were up against. They Had one thing which they had to do. And thaw was what they carried out all diligently. The safety of those who weep with them. THose who did not know what it meant to be system holders as they could not effectively fight back. Those who needed to be helped just because they did not have a system to start with. This was the priority of the higher ups in the actions. Only fighting back when they had no chance. All hope had been cast on monsieur Dayo and the actions he had been doing at the Research Facility. The research which had kept him busy back then, the same thing which had made him invulnerable to any threat which came from the council towards his being. It was in this moment that he would prove his mettle and hsi wor
She saw him. This was not like the threat that they had just faced down but it was still a threat for them. She glinted in anger as she started to run now. Ignoring the call of the other girls as they realized that the other demon had vanished as well. Thai was not their fight, at least, until they received further instructions from Monsieur Dayo on what to do next. His body scaled through the broken down side of the walling of the class snow. With her body still in drive now, she drove her hands to the stomach part of the demon. With quick succession ,she dealt multiple mana blocking blows there and then. The diamond screeched and the result was concluded immediately. It fell down with a thump as it revealed her to the people in the classroom now. And to the one she was looking to see. ‘Lekan!” Blessing called out with excitement in her face. “Blessing?” Lekan turned around with surprise in his eyes. He was hardly taken aback with many things. He knew that something would
Earlier on…. When he got the summon from Monsieur Demas, Dayo knew it was pretty serious. It wasn't something to be taken lightly. Especially when they had just crossed a milestone now. The unveiling of the Bureau would just be out there. This would be a major setback, if they did not handle it well. And so, he let go of the grudge he had with Monsieur Demas. After all, beyond their conflict and personal interest, they still had a duty to the System Bureau. They had to fly its flag and answer the summons against anything which was out there to bring it devastation and destruction. And this summon was just one of them. He braced for combat., literally. Donning his costume as what they knew of him as The Switch. He had to be ready for just anything and that included what he wore. This time, things would be different, Msnier Dayo said to himself even as they poured into the System Bureau. They would not have to depend on him alone in the combat of whatever they had to face. This
His words brought courage to all of them. Even Lekan himself could not help but feel fired over the words that he spoke. Perhaps, now, the perspective n of Donald by the people of his special class would change now. Change for the better, no doubt. The demon lady is frustrated. She shook her head, stomping her legs as her four arms slapped down on her waist now. “ Oh No! I hate this. Don't you play tricks o0n me>” he growled out as the decoy which she held in her hands now faded into nothingness. It was not the prey she wanted. And it infuriated her. “wEe need space.” Donald mentioned now. “Helen, your turn.” he called out. Immediately Helens dropped down to the ground. She slapped her hands flat out on the floor and then with a chant, her eyes went dark. All blacked out. “Shadow domain.” Dark circles appeared on the ground. They grew instantly with the demon lady with in the center of it now. The circles expanded instantly, merging into one gigantic black shimmering cir
The moment he got to know about the invasion of demons in this place; the first thing he did was to find a way to reach Leslie. He pretty much was trying to find his way about things in this place. And the only one who had shown the willingness to show his way around was none other than Leslie. Frank heaved as he held his right arm. It has healed over the time since the last time he had to get physical with anybody. And thankfully, there had been no cause for him to get involved with any fight. That is, he assumed Lee Min must have learnt his humility and then stayed to himself afterwards. He smiled to himself over this thought now. In the time past, he never did see himself as someone who would have to avenge anybody but now, it was becoming sort of his motto. Not like he was complaining about it. After all, the responsibilities of a King were numerous. And he had to exact them with the proper justice that was needed for each situation he found himself in. “What do we do?” HE
Power in the hands of chaotic beings is just a lower sample of hell. The demons surged about, numerous in their numbers as they screeched and roared. The unlucky humans who got up in their paths were gobbled up, eaten and then regurgitated as pieces of bones and blood. Fear gripped the ranks of the Bureau. In all their times of weidling systems, they never did expect to run into something like this. It has always been about fighting humans. Humans who would go against the way of things of the Bureau. Those who would flaunt the order of things. Those who would would want to thwart the general agenda of the Bureau. Never about things of this proportion. Never about misshapen beings that looked like a hybrid of several creatures. Black with wings, baleful eyes of red with poor patchwork of muscles over long bones for the ones who walked. Those ones measured several meters high, even as much as 8ft tall. The ones who flew were the smaller ones. Having the likelihood to apes, flying
Helen sighed, patting the black crop top she had on. The action brought focus to her belly button,the size of a water drop, externally. . It was slightly larger than normal. A phenomenon which was referred to as ‘dodo’ by his country's people. Oftentimes it was used as a term for light hearted mockery. But sighting it on her, the confidence at which she exuded even with it being exposed, it triggered him sexually. He loved her personality. The way she carried herself even though she knew she was not the best. But still had some air of confidence, as well as a bit of empathy. The fact that instead of leaving outrightly with him, she stayed behind to let him clear his head was lovable. Unlike someone who knew. The person of Lady Beatrice. She cared very less whether you’re anted to be teleported or not. As long as she had you in mind to transport, that was what she carried out. Consent or not. “You.” A raspy voice sounded now. It had a tone that spoke of humor and at the same time m
