{ DIANA SET FREE } Mr Dickson's voice echoed through the microphone as he congratulated George with a smile. " A round of applause for the winner as this year vest gaming contest so far." he shouted beaming wth a smile on his face. The gaming arena erupted into a loud roar as many of George's friend all ran to congratulate him. " Let settle down please. We now have a new champion and I think it is best we know who has the control in the university grounds. As we all know that Frederick has done his part over the few semesters, months and weeks. But is time we give it to someone with fresh innovative. Some who can lead us into the world beyond. This goes way above psychical fights. Please let give it up for George!" [ THE CROWD GO WILD ] As they kept chanting his name. I walked out of the podium ad didn't look back. I knew this was a mistake. Loosing to George was the begining of Akuma's war against the gaming world and the real world. My thought went back to what Mr Dickson was goi
{ DIANA FREED } Rosetta pulled away from the kiss, her face inches from mine, and whispered, "We can do this together." Her words were a lifeline, a brief moment of solace in the storm of chaos swirling around us. But even as her touch calmed me, the sight of Judith standing in the distance brought me back to reality.Judith stood under a street lamp, her figure illuminated by the soft yellow glow. Her expression was unreadable, a mask that betrayed nothing of her thoughts. As I watched her, I felt a pang of guilt mixed with determination. There was so much at stake, and personal feelings had to be set aside. A part of me wanted to do what a normal young man has to do but there was a lot at stake. I had lost the round and I knew what I had to do. I was a man of my word. "Let's go," I said, turning the key in the ignition. Rosetta nodded and settled into her seat, the tension between us momentarily eased by our shared feelings. As I drove through the rowdy streets, my mind raced. Th
{ NOT LEFT WITH A CHOICE} Diana looked at their faces, and she suddenly lowered her hands. "Why have you had me released because I know you didn't do this out of the goodwill of your heart?" She looked at everyone at the table. "You are right; I have no reason to have you free, and if you decide not to accept my proposal, I might decide to have you set back to the system," I replied. " Ah! I can see why I am here. Isn't my father causing trouble already?" Diana asked, grabbing the cup of whisky Thomas was having from him. She gulped down the drink and looked at me. "Let's hear it. I know I am not going to like it, but I would like to get out of the gaming system." We all looked at her as Diana threw her hair backward. She slightly crossed her legs and looked at me. "Don't just stare at me. Or do you still have some left-over feelings for me?" Diana taunted, and I smirked."Trust me, you won't be here if I don't need your help, but that doesn't mean I can't have you thrown back int
{ BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE }I looked at who the caller was and I felt a pang of fear. The thought of how to dispose of Diana's corpse came to my mind and beaded sweat formed on my forehead. I wrinkled my face as I looked at my phone and back at Diana who was lying on the floor. " What do we do?" Zack asked getting off his seat " And who the hell is calling You at this time of the night?" he asked with a furrowed eyebrow. I looked at everyone and I could sense their fears. " It is Mr Dickson." I manage to open my tight-sealed lips. " I don't know why you are panicking over the death of a person who shot you in the head." Judith's voice made me look at her " Are you telling me that what I did just now is right?" I looked back at her face. " Is it right to shoot you in the head?" she asked looking at everyone " I don't know but I am not dead. She is and the better we take care of the corpse the better. " I replied " And how do we do that? " Cassandra asked looking at my face." The same
{ DIANA REUNION WITH HER FATHER }My voice echoed in the room, my outstretched hand a symbol of unity against the brewing storm. The tension between Judith and Diana was palpable, but as everyone glanced at each other, a silent agreement seemed to form. Reluctantly, Judith lowered her gun, and Diana took a step back, still glaring but seemingly willing to cooperate."Alright, Fred. We’re with you," Thomas said, breaking the silence and stepping forward to clasp my hand. One by one, the others joined, creating a circle of unity "Good. Now let's figure out how to get Diana back to her father." I said, pulling out a large map and spreading it on the table. "We need a plan that makes it look like she was never here. We need to Mae him beige Diana find her way back to him all by herself." Diana looked at the map, her face serious. "I don’t like the idea of going back, but if it’s the only way to keep you all safe, I’ll do it. But we need to be smart about this. If what you are saying is
{ SCHOOL BULLIES; GEORGE NOW THE FACE OF THE UNIVERSITY}I got up from my bed and walked lazily to the bathroom to prepare for school. I yawned lazily and as I brushed my teeth I looked into the mirror and the orb in my chest. I noticed it was now having three lights. " Have I gotten another Avatar?" I asked with a surpriseI had won my last game and gotten some money. I quickly grabbed my phone and glanced through it. " Yes!" I shouted with happiness. I have a new Avatar that can prevent me from getting seen. I knew I could wave drop in any conversation and seeing people's secrets was going to be so much easier. " If I could get into the Dickson's apartments then it would be game over for Akuma." [ I AM STEALTHY YOUR NEW GAMING AVATAR ] A subtle voice came at me. " It is going you decided to join us on this mission to take down the most wanted gaming Avatar."I quickly brushed my teeth and had my bath. Getting to the university grounds, I saw a lot of the students sharing with me an
Allies and EnemiesAs I watched Chris walk away, I felt a strange mixture of relief and unease. It was a good sign that he wanted to join us, but the history between us made it hard to fully trust him. With a deep breath, I headed to my first class of the day, my mind racing with thoughts of Akuma and the battles ahead. I looked out through the window and wondered what would happen to the world I had known if Akuma took control In class, I found it hard to concentrate. My thoughts kept drifting back to the orb in my chest, now glowing with the light of three avatars. The newest one, Stealthy, had already proven to be a valuable asset. The ability to remain unseen was a game-changer, especially when dealing with someone as cunning as Akuma.After the lecture, I met up with Zack and Diana in the courtyard. Zack was animated, still excited about the newfound powers and the prospect of taking down Akuma. Diana, on the other hand, seemed distracted. I pulled her aside.“Diana, is everyth
{ THE GET TOGETHER }I woke up the next morning and I quickly called everyone into my mansion. I was arranging the table when I heard the roaring engines of the car enter the compound. I took a glance over the tables and arranged a few glass cups. The door opened and Thomas was surprised to see everywhere set. " What is today again?" he asked looking at the table and back at my face. " Wow! Are we celebrating something today?" Cassandra asked following her brother into the mansion. " What about everyone? Did they get my message?" I asked looking at Thomas's face. " They should since you had the message sent to everyone," he replied taking his seat I looked at Cassandra as she smiled seen everywhere was sparkling " Something sure smells nice. Have you been cooking?" she asked staring at me again " I hope you like pastry." I chuckled and walked back to check on what I was cooking. I had an apron tied around me as I moved about trying to get everything in order before the rest of the c
