Time for some classic, fight no? Oh, you'd love this
“Oh ho!” Dembe laughed, shaking a finger at the French man with his eyes dilating. “You are spoiling for a fight, are you not?” He scoffed. “Typical entitled bastard.” “Mhm. Demas thoughtfully observed him, a smile over his left side of the face. “And as expected, you have been nothing more than just an empty barrel.”Provocatively, he leaned forward, placing his hands on the table in which he sat. “And as we all know, empty barrels make the loudest noise.” “You talk cheap.” Dembe snarled at him.WHOOOM! Cold chills descended in the room. The Air conditioning seemed way too ineffective compared to this as mini gusts of spontaneous wind gales erupted here and there. Furniture shifted over the place, the glass table shattering into pieces.“Eternal Time coffin!” Demas calmly mouthed.DING!A large ethereal clock appeared behind him. With golden hands and a bronze surface, each hour tick having the color of silver. “Chronostasis.” Demas chanted. Dembe's eyes widened at this. He leap
“Ha!” Blessing gasped. The whole landscape was overtaken by a mix of several exploding debris. The earth shook here as people quivered, falling to the ground. Explosions rocked the surface, drilling tension in their already sweaty bodies. Blessing gasped for breath as she looked about. For a split second, she paused, her entire self freezing. She was at the Buteau, was she not? How did she come out here? And worse, what was happening? This looked like world war three was taking place now. And she was thrown right in the middle of the conflict. “Ha!” She gasped for breath. The next second, her feet lost bearing. Her entire frame toppled over as a shell rocked the ground some meters away. The swiftness at which her face slammed into the uneven tarred road. Or what was once a tarred road jarred her. Her body spasmed instantly. Her ears rung, her sense of bearing stunned for a while. The pain in her head rammed hard, destabilizing every attempt of her in trying to rise. “Ahhh!
“Ugh” Leslie grumbled as she knocked on the door once more. It had been a while since she had been here. Prior to the first knock she gave to the door, she took a hasty look at herself. Like the other time, she was back from a sparring session. The Bureau had been holding one after the other tournaments between system holders. Most of them had been for fun to the system holders and entertainment to the system less in the Bureau. But to the Bureau, this was all just some means to get to observe their system in action. Leslie, on her part, had joined the tournaments because it was a great way to burn out the tension in this place.The anger in her body and the rage she felt for not completing the mission. And oh, it was such a nice place to stay away from Prof Bumju. That is, assuming the Prof. was not there to taunt her for not completing a single mission. And worse, he knew about her feelings for Lkan. And non stop, he’d been using that as a yardstick to keep her under. Like s
WANNNNNN!!! WANNNNNNNNNNNN!!! “Everyone out! This is not a drill. Everyone out.” The loudspeaker buzzed out over the entire facility. “Ha!” Blessing gasped as a sense of Congo toon hit her. The bright lights in her room lightened up with an abruptness that jarred her momentarily. She felt sick to the belly as she blinked, trying to get familiar with the harsh lights about. Grateful to be back, Blessing tossed in the bed. Still, She was pissed. While it was relieving what she had seen, a while back was only just some dream, a part of her wished she had not woken up. The truth of the dream was out there. To be awake from it only made her realize how horrible it was. How worse it was. She left her siblings without a single thought to them. All in the search for some power that she knew not the origins of. All for the acceptance of a boy. Just how long could she go? Her heart sighed heavily as her body tensed to rise. Usually, by the sound of the buzzer, she would have jumped up.
“Do you want to talk or not?” Beatrice demanded of her. Leslie scowled her face at this.the ultimatum of a thing was something she often rebelled against it. Having to make her follow the rules was the very thing that engineered her to do the opposite of it.This was why for each of the tournaments she had entered, she often refrained from using her system. Deciding to go all the way in melee. She sucked at following rules. And instructions. And that was her natural highlight.It was what endeared her to the Bureau in some sick way. And she enjoyed every bit of it. However now that her mentor was throwing the same thing at her, she reeled within herself. She very much wanted to refuse. To tell her that there was no way to treat her. Buts he could no do that. If the others she had met were within the league of whom she could talk down, then Beatrice. Lady Beatrice was not in that league. She was way above it. This was how much she valued and respected the presence and opinion of
Lekan heaved sadly. It was roughly three days since he had seen his Uncle die. Die in his hands. Even though time pased, the pain was still here. The emptiness ate at him. It made him a shell of whoever he was back then. And to make matters worse, there was no Blessing in sight. His phone lay just within the reach of his fingers. The display screen having the call dialog screen. A name was highlighted. It was Blessing. And the number of calls to that contact was 15 times. 15 times that he tried to reach out to her. To find out how she was. But she would not pick up. The pain in his heat had deepened. He knew that he was the cyase of this from her. He had told her off, harshly that night. Now, she had left him alone. His lips twitched in an ugly smile as he grimaced. He felt betrayal eating into his mind. The type that made him want to promise evil against her whenever he got to see her next. To punish her for this. For blanking out on him. When he needed her the most., She wa
Buzz! The sound of the electric buzzer boomed out. Blesing tossed in the bed now with a scowl on her face. She had just spent the whole morning without food. While it was not something she hadn't done before, it hurt. Perhaps the thought of the realization that she was being starved hit hard. It destroyed the thought of the Bureau being the agency that made sure everything was provided for them. Provided for them to have the comfort that they needed. While providing results to the Bureau in the long run. The cruelty of the handler earlier today made her question it. How far could the Bureau go if they were for once disobeyed by them? Or how exactly did they treat cases like this? With no food in her system, she has spent the morning thinking this through. Her insides hurt like hell. Luckily, there had been a bottle of water she used. The water holding back her hunger from overtaking her. Though even if that had happened, there was very little she would've done. "Get up!" The
The sounds of pounding boots drew nearer by every second. The rate of heartbeat within his chest exploded exponentially. Rising slowly, he strained to hear, noting how the boots rhythm slowed. It seemed whoever they were, they were putting some bit of caution. Like they did not want to make a mistake. He swallowed. Now that he was holed up, right in the room, he thought hard on what to do. His mind urged him to leave the room. Better to leave here than have people at the door. That way, he would be forced to come out. And the terms nah not even be in his favor. He did not want to wait for that. Not with his ears pounding, his heart beating sporadically. His limbs trembled, raising a shaky hand to turn the door knob. Careful enough not to make a sound, he slowly opened the door. He tiptoed now, first shooting out a quick look around. The bedroom, his parents bedroom and formerly the room for the late Uncle Desmond was upstairs. Much like the Way his room and the guest rooms als
