{ A WORTHY OPPONENT }Jonas grinned to see me once again in pain. Thomas quickly rushed to save me as the battle intensified. Diana was a good fighter and I wondered where she had trained like that. Jonas aided her making it tough for us to break through. " We just need to hold them until Father gets back," Jonas said to his sister as they fought against us. Zack looked at me as he bled out on the floor " Fred, we could use the help of the big guy. Isn't this where he comes out to save the day?' he asked as he was tossed against the wall. I looked at Thomas and back at Xavier who looked a little scared. The gunmen were still hands down and only watched what was going on. It looks like the more we tried putting them down they were coming at us. " Can you take over Shadow Blade?" I asked covering my mouth to avoid being heard. There was silence and I heard nothing. A blow landed at the back of my neck and I groaned. " Listen, buddy, we are one. Imagine if I died right now. You also w
{ BAD NEWS }The door opens with Titus and some ninjas into the room. I looked behind them and I saw Mr Dickson. " Well, well, looks like you are back to save your friends. I told you already you would end up working for me." He said with a grin " I would never work for a monster like you," I shouted out of the suit. " Hmm.. what do we do about that? I am running out of patience. I need your answer right now I have all your friends killed here with you. We didn't have to walk down this part Fred." He said with a smirk." If you think I would work with a man like you then you have got it all wrong. I don't care how long it takes me but I am going to expose you and what you do to the entire world. They would see you are the demon you are." I managed to reply even though I was a little scared seeing Titus by his side. He was the only one who could stop me. " And why are you with him on this? I thought you had the money and didn't need his blood money." I looked at Titus. " oh really? I
{ ROSETTA FINDING OUT ABOUT HER DISABILITY }I looked as the doctor walked closer to us. " Talk to me doctor, how is she?" I asked seeing the look on his face. " I would like to speak to a family member." He said again with a concerned look. Thomas looked at me as I sweat profusely. I cleaned my face with my hands, looking at the man in a white jacket before me. " I just signed the document for her surgery, didn't I? That should give me at least some privilege to know whatever is going on." I replied almost looking at my coolness. " Can you walk with me?" Doctor Stefan said gently placing a hand on my shoulder. " Is she dead?" I stammered looking at him " No, in fact, the surgery was a success and she is resting." Doc. Stefan replied. I felt relieved and looked at Thomas who smiled too. " But.." I looked back at the Doctor's face at the mention of a "But." " But what Doctor Stefan? You just said the surgery was a success just now. What are you trying to say?" I asked looking at h
[ UNDERGROUND BATTLE ]The loud wail of Rosetta could be heard across the hospital. The walls echoed of her weeps. I looked at the ward she was in and I could feel her pain. I clenched my fist in anger and gritted my teeth. I looked at Thomas and back at Xavier. " There is nothing you could have done, Fred. you need to stop blaming yourself for every little thing that happens to everyone around you." Xavier said looking at my face. " But it is my fault. Only if I had just left Rosetta out of all of this. I cause this. " I shouted at him making Xavier back away from me. I wanted to enter the ward but I felt Thomas's hand on my shoulder. "You need to let her be. She just needs to be alone by herself right now." Thomas said looking at my face " Do you think that is a good idea? I can help her go through all of this. she doesn't have to go through any of this alone. " I replied pushing Thomas's hands away. I looked through the mirror in front of me and I saw Rosetta on the cold flow. M
{ A FIGHT IN THE DUNGEONS }"No, you have got it all wrong. I didn't sign up for him." I said, looking scared. "Get in there, boy." I heard a man shout at him. I looked at him and saw that he was drunk. He held a card in his hand, and I knew it must be a bet wager against me. I walked towards the arena as my mind raced. I wish I had taken things cool and accepted the fact that Rosetta was crippled. I looked at the man I was going to face, and I knew I could defeat him on my own. I developed cold feet as I got to the ring. "You should have stayed at home, kid! This is not a place for someone like you." The man said it with a smirk. "I just need thirty minutes with you in this ring." "Thirty minutes? I can even last five minutes." I said to myself as sweat rolled down my face. I looked at the MC as he walked up to me. "What's your name, Kid?" he asked, moving his spectacles a bit down. "Shadow Blade." My lips parted with the words, and I looked at him. "Shadow Blade? This is going to
{ RISE TO FAME: FIGHT OF THE SEASON}I watched the person standing before me, and it was Titus. Many of the reporters looked at the tension between us and knew there was an episode that had transpired. "Who is he, Mr. Frederick?" one of the reporters asked, staring at us both. "No one," I replied. "Some, actually, and I am going to be your worst nightmare," Titus said with a smirk on his face. "Who are you?" another reporter asked as the camera flickered right at our faces.Mr. Dickson walked in on us and looked at me. "I would like to have Titus challenge him. I am sure you all are eager to see what Fred here can do." He said, looking at me "Do you accept the challenge, Mr. Fred?" I looked at the female reporter before me. I saw they were all eager to see a fight. I have a lot to uncover and also bring Mr. Dickson to justice for all he has done. I need to uncover the truth behind the House of Shade and also bring to light the deaths of my colleagues. "I am going to take up the cha
{ DIANA ON A MISSION }I walked out of the car, and the reporters came at me and said, "Do you think you can win your fight against Titus?" A dark-haired reporter asked, looking at me. "I am not sure about anything in my life at the moment. I was once a penniless boy who could barely even feed himself, but right now I own my house, and I can boast that I have good friends who had my bad. something that wasn't like this a couple of years ago." I said with a smile, looking at Thomas and Zack behind me. "What do you have to say to Mr. Dickson? It looks like you both had unresolved issues. Another reporter asked through the crowd I looked at the reporter and smirked, "Things ain't what they seem to be on the outside. They want you to see that they are the good guys, but beneath all of that is a viper ready to strike you down at any time." "Are you seeing someone? Are you in love?" Another reporter asked, and I looked at Rosetta, who was inside the car."It all looked like yesterday to
BECOMING ONE WITH THE SYSTEM [BECOMING A CYBORG] "Did you just say get along? You crippled my girlfriend and also had my friends killed, and you want me to be friends with you?" I looked at Diana, not knowing what to do. We can't fight inside the school premises, as it is against the rules of the campus. Jonas looked at his sister and was surprised. "Did I hear you well, Diana? Why would you want to be friends with these losers? Don't tell me you had a change of heart." He added, looking at her in disbelief. " Does father know about this?" "Can you just stay out of this?" Diana shouted at him. I said nothing but simply took Rosetta into the school premises. "Have you transferred the money to Mr. Dickson's account?" I asked as I wheeled her to her department. "Yes, I did that this morning." She said she was looking at me. I bent down, looking at her face. "I will come by to see you during break hours. Text me if you need anything." I was about to walk out when I felt Rosetta's sof
