Hila made a call through an encrypted line.“Boss, the situation has stabilized.”“Is the brainwashing complete?” the man's voice was hoarse.“I oversaw the procedure. There was no issue. What arrangements do you have for Zero?” Hila asked.“The Valkyrie experiment's aim is to train soldiers, so train him.” the man replied a bit irritated.“How is my sister doing?”“Don't forget the deal.” the man warned.“I gave you permission to visit her once every two months. Don't cross the line.”Hila clenched her fists when she heard this. Then there was a click and she knew the call had been disconnected by the man.*The interior of the underground Valkyrie lab was almost entirely white. Guards constantly patrolled the grounds. After a night's rest, Drake was brought to an isolated training field where Hila awaited.While he was not too sure of what arrangements the organization had for him, he was certain that they would value his 'learning ability', meaning he would definitely get the chanc
One day, a number of armored guards came to the tuning room to move a large portion of Drake's resources away. As Drake watched them quietly, a person walked up to him.“You have let the organization down. From today onward, your resources will be cut by eighty percent.” the person who spoke to Drake was test subject number 'One'.“I heard that you're my predecessor. With so many resources, is all you can make garbage like this? You are a failure, and I have been chosen to replace you.”For some reason, the sight of Drake irked number One. Drake remained silent.The organization prioritized results. Since Drake was not giving them results, he was stripped of his privileges. They planned to devote their resources to grooming the more promising no One.As the research lab did not have any maintenance personnel for machinery, Drake still got to keep the tuning room for himself. He was now assigned to perform maintenance and repairs.“Tsk tsk, sad rats.”A few guards who saw the pair bega
Drake knew who the white haired girl was. She was none other than Hila's younger sister, Aurora. While the sisters both possessed superhuman abilities, their abilities were of two extremes.Aurora's blood possessed mysterious healing properties that could extend life or even bring back the dead. She had been brainwashed, and was now being controlled by the Germinal Organization. Not only were they taking advantage of her powers, they were also using her as leverage to make Hila do their bidding.Hila only cared for one person, and that was Aurora. The girl war between the six countries and the Germinal Organization reached a climax at the conclusion of Version 1.0. As a last resort, the Germinal Organization used Aurora's flesh and blood to create an endless supply of miracle drugs that won them the war. Hila, who had been at the front lines at the time, only learnt of what had happened a few months later. Losing her sister tore her apart, and the Germinal Organization took advantage
The Valkyrie lab was hidden underneath an abandoned farm situated within an extremely large forest. The farm itself was enclosed by a tall electrical fence.A Black Harrier helicopter descended on the abandoned farm. Six fully equipped agents dressed in black emerged from the aircraft.“I am the captain of Night Owl Squad three, Silver Blade. I've come under orders to transport the Valkyrie Squad.” introduced the stone faced captain.“Stop wasting my time.” replied an irritated Hila as she fixed her tousled hair.“There are vehicles in the hanger, I will take the helicopter.” she added.Number One, who had been chosen to lead the Valkyrie squad, stepped forward.“Test subject number One greets officer!” he greeted with a military salute.“Follow us.”“Yes Sir!”As Hila hopped on the helicopter, she frowned.“Strange.. it feels like I've forgotten something.*Machinery tuning room.Drake was almost done with crafting the Lightweight Mechanical Arm. It had proven harder to craft than e
'Well this is awkward. Should I just pretend like nothing happened and step out?' wondered Drake.Drake did not have anything in particular against any group of people. He respected people's hobbies and interests. These two before him were simply two lonely hearts who might have fallen in love with each other but had no place to release their pent up carnal desire for each other.Although Drake's mind was filled with such thoughts, his body was quick to act. Reversing his grip on his knife. He rushed forward to attack the closer guard.. the female. The guard was unable to react in time, and as she fumbled to draw her gun, Drake went for the kill. Unfortunately, the second guard kicked her to safety. Drake's surprise attack had failed, but he was not disheartened. Twirling his knife in his hand, he switched back to a standard grip and stabbed the second guard in his abdomen, followed by striking his neck with his free hand. The guard collapsed to the ground.. lifeless.«Ding!Overwhelm
A bright light flashed and a humanoid figure dressed in military uniform appeared. This figure looked exactly human but a bit unrealistic. It looked human, but it wasn't human. It had an oval face, lean body and wavy hair. It's military uniform fitted his tall lean body. This was the character of Drake in the game 'Galaxy'.“Alright, the war between Germinal and the Six Nations is still ongoing. The quest states that I have to meet up an old soldier in a little bunker and obtain more information about the war from him.” Drake spoke to himself. Just as he was about to move, he heard a bang, and a red light flashed in front of him, he felt a stinging pain on his right shoulder.-48He had been been shot. He pulled his gun and turned around. Facing him were seven individuals dressed in all black, even their faces were covered with black colored masks. But he knew who theses were; The Gator Crew. This group always bullied him, both at school and even in the game.“What do you want! Tony.”
Alex's eyes fluttered open, groggily taking in their surroundings. A hospital room. Beeping machines. A faint smell of antiseptic. A figure stood beside the bed, watching them with a mix of curiosity and concern."Welcome back, Alex," Dr. Lee said, smiling warmly. "You've been in a coma for a few days. We were starting to worry we might lose you."Alex's memories came flooding back, like a tidal wave crashing against the shore. The apocalypse. The screams. The betrayal. Death.But something was off. The apocalypse hadn't happened yet. Alex was five years younger. Confusion etched on their face, they tried to speak, but their throat was dry and parched.Dr. Lee handed Alex a glass of water. "Here, drink this. You need to rehydrate."Alex sipped the water, feeling it trickle down their throat. "What...what happened?" they croaked, their voice barely above a whisper."You were brought in with severe injuries," Dr. Lee explained. "We're still not entirely sure what happened, but it looks
As they spoke, a black SUV pulled up beside them, tinted windows reflecting the sunlight."Alex, get in," a low voice commanded from within.Alex's instincts screamed warning, but Sarah's grip on their arm tightened."Who is that?" Sarah whispered.Alex's eyes locked onto the SUV. "I don't know, but I think we're about to find out."With a deep breath, Alex stepped forward, Sarah following closely behind.As they entered the SUV, the door slammed shut behind them, enveloping them in darkness.The SUV sped through the streets, weaving through traffic with a precision that made Alex's stomach twist with anxiety."Who are you?" Alex demanded, trying to keep their voice steady.The driver, a tall, imposing figure with sunglasses, didn't flinch. "My name is Agent Thompson. And you, Alex, are a person of great interest."Sarah's grip on Alex's arm tightened. "What do you want with us?"Agent Thompson's expression remained impassive. "You have information, Alex. Information that could change
