The facility was silent except for the distant hum of machinery, but Hazeed knew the calm wouldn’t last long. They’d taken down the leadership, but Omega’s network was vast. Their retaliation would be swift, and it was only a matter of time before they realized the extent of the damage.

“Pack up and move,” Max ordered, his voice clipped but steady. “We’ve got no time to waste.”

Hazeed nodded, taking one last look around the control room before signaling the team to gather their gear. The commander’s body, slumped and lifeless in front of the console, was a symbol of their victory—but it was also a reminder that there were many more battles to come.

Mazda’s voice crackled in his earpiece. “I’ve disabled their communications, but Omega’s going to notice the breach within minutes. Get out now while you still can.”

“Understood,” Hazeed replied. “We’re en route.”

As they made their way through the tunnels, the sound of their footsteps echoing off the cold walls, Hazeed’s mind raced. The mi

    The hovercraft hummed as it sped toward their next safehouse, the air inside thick with tension. Hazeed leaned back in his seat, staring out the small window as the city lights blurred into streaks of orange and white. His team sat in silence, each of them processing the harrowing escape. But Hazeed knew there would be no time for rest.Mazda broke the silence first, her voice tight with frustration. "The explosives bought us time, but Omega's not stupid. They’ll figure out where we’re headed soon. We need to stay ahead of them, Hazeed.""I know," Hazeed said, his tone clipped. His mind was already working through their options. "Max, status on our supply caches?"Max looked up from his tablet, his brow furrowed. "Two are still secure, but the third—near the eastern docks—was compromised last night.

    Hazeed stayed rooted at the table, his fingers tracing the edges of the map. His team had always looked to him for answers, for direction, and he never let them down. But the Citadel wasn’t just another mission—it was a beast that could either cement their rebellion or crush it entirely. The stakes had never been higher.The faint sound of footsteps broke his concentration. He looked up to see Max approaching, his expression unreadable."Couldn’t sleep?" Hazeed asked, his tone lighter than he felt.Max shook his head. "Not when we’re planning to walk straight into the lion’s den. You?""Same." Hazeed leaned back in his chair, exhaling sharply. "What’s on your mind?"Max hesitated for a moment before speaking. "You sure about this? The Citadel... it’s not just a hub. It’s their crown jewel. If we go in unprepared, we’ll be walking into a massacre."Hazeed nodded slowly, understanding the concern. "I know it’s a gamble, but we don’t have the luxury of playing it safe anymore. Omega’s ti

  • Hazeed : Guardian Of The World    Destruction

    It was early in the morning, but Hazeed's misfortune had already begin.Hazeed, who was washing his bike, was shocked when the landlady threw everything out of his room.Not only that, but she turned off the water tap."Get out of here right now, you're five months in arrears and you're still wasting water! This room is already rented!" said Ms. Lisa."But ma'am, I'm still working on it," said Hazeed, hurriedly putting down the water hose and quickly tidying up his clothes that were scattered outside the room."No, you can't! Leave now because the person will be here soon," said Mrs. Lisa adamantly.Hazeed could only remain silent. He realized that he was five months in arrears and it was very good for him that Ms. Lisa was only kicking him out now.Hazeed couldn't do much about it. He quickly carried his meager belongings away on his old moped.The sun was still warm on his tan skin. Hazeed's only thought this time was to try to find a rooming house that he could fill without having

  • Hazeed : Guardian Of The World    An Unlucky Day

    "Sir, I didn't do anything wrong, sir!" said Hazeed when two policemen arrived and immediately handcuffed him.There was even more commotion outside the clinic. Students who were arriving for classes now gathered in the clinic courtyard.Many of them began documenting and sharing information about Hazeed's arrest on social media."My day is complete," Hazeed thought as the police patrol car drove away from the clinic with him.Arriving at the police station, Hazeed was immediately questioned and bombarded with so many questions.The man really couldn't answer what the investigators were asking because he wasn't involved in the drug cartel as they intended."How much do you get paid to keep your mouth shut like this?" one of the police officers snapped at him.Hazeed repeated his answer."I don't know the woman, let alone get paid, I am the victim of the collision, sir, what is the fate of my motorcycle?" Hazeed said with half resignation.But the investigators did not take his word fo

  • Hazeed : Guardian Of The World    Dropped from Campus

    He was still left with many questions about the phone. He even searched the internet for the name of the cell phone but there was nothing like it.A large phone like a handy talkie but with a screen that was very different from most phones today. Especially in its features.Hazeed, who was trying to figure this out, finally fell asleep very soundly because he was tired after all the things he had been through."I Am Omega, who woke me up?" someone said. But Hazeed, who was fast asleep, didn't notice.The warm morning touched Hazeed's face.Staying in that hut all night made him think hard now. Even though he was losing his way. But he didn't want his grandparents back in the village to know what had happened to him."I have to go to the college," Hazeed said.Using a water source he found near the field, he washed his face and cleaned his body. He separated some of his clean clothes.Once he was dressed, Hazeed walked to the campus to attend his classes. Hazeed himself is an outstandi

  • Hazeed : Guardian Of The World    Trial Mission

    "Come in, follow the route that will guide you, Mr.H!" Omega's voice sounded so cold this time.Hazeed then stepped inside."What? This is a driverless car? Autopilot? It really works systematically using a computer system connected to its center?" Hazeed said in amazement."Sir, Omega will lead you to your first mission," Omega said.TREKThe black car locked and accelerated to a lake behind an old factory.This lake was an artificial lake in the middle of the city, used as a water catchment area for the city."What should I do here?" said Hazeed."First Mission, save the children," said Omega, accompanied by the sound of a door opening.BUKKHazeed tumbled to the ground, as his chair had apparently shifted with him."You suck! Can't you just put me down quietly! What a lousy system!" grumbled Hazeed as he patted his clothes that had become soiled with dirt."Help! Help!" said someone from the lakeside.Hazeed was stunned to see two people struggling at the edge of the lake trying to

    "Next to your house is Ms. Lisa's boarding house," said Mr. Kardi.Hazeed frowned.A room on the outside of the house was then handed over to him. Hazeed felt very much at home, especially since there was a parking lot here too, which allowed him to save money."Thank you son, I hope you feel at home," said Mr. Kardi, who had rented out one of the rooms in his house to Hazeed."You're welcome sir, I'm very grateful that you offered me a room," said Hazeed.He immediately cleaned up the room that would now be his home. He was grateful that he could finally sleep comfortably again.Even so, his mind was still confused by the OMEGA system that kept appearing on his cell phone.It was getting late, and Hazeed felt free. He took out his antique cell phone and started to turn it on."It won't turn on?" said Hazeed in confusion. He then tried to charge it, but nothing fit into the charger hole."What kind of data cable is this?" said Hazeed as he continued to look up the size and specificati

  • Hazeed : Guardian Of The World    The Pink Package

    "Whose package is this?" Hazeed asked, gazing at the wall, but he couldn't find anyone there.Still startled, the man saw a series of strange numerical codes. He often encountered such random numbers when downloading or logging into web pages on the internet."Welcome back, Mr. H! With Me."Hazeed finally felt relieved upon hearing Omega's voice. This made Hazeed think that the codes he had seen earlier were sent to him by the system."What else do I need to do? If I've received the package, does that mean it's safe?" Hazeed spoke through his old cellphone to Omega."Reload system, activated!" Omega kept repeating that command. "What's happening?" muttered Hazeed."Oh no! So it's not finished yet?" grumbled Hazeed, seeing his phone suddenly spinning without any signal on the screen, proving that this mission was still incomplete."A pink package. Hufht! Very tacky. Who could have sent a package with wrapping like this? It's very strange and doesn't make sense, too exaggerated in my op

  • Sharpened

    The hovercraft streaked through the sky, cutting through the dense clouds, its engines humming steadily as the city’s silhouette grew smaller in the distance. Hazeed sat motionless, eyes fixed on the horizon, his mind racing. The decision had been made: they would go after Omega’s leadership, a strike that would cripple the heart of the organization. But with it came an unavoidable question—was the team ready for what lay ahead?“Everyone’s prepped,” Max’s voice broke through the quiet hum of the craft, his tone even but carrying an undercurrent of tension. “This mission’s not just about the intel. It’s about cutting the head off the snake. If we fail here, there’s no coming back.”Hazeed glanced at him, his expression steely. "If we fail, Omega will tear us apart."“Exactly.” Max’s gaze hardened. “And we can’t let that happen.”Hazeed turned back toward the forward viewport. The landscape below was a blur, a patchwork of buildings and forests, but it was the destination that concerne

  • Tactics

    As the hovercraft raced through the sky, the sounds of the distant battle below began to fade. But the weight of the mission hung heavy on Hazeed’s shoulders. Despite the temporary relief of escape, his mind raced, replaying every detail of the operation. The success was bittersweet—the rebellion had won a significant victory, but at what cost?He leaned back in his seat, gripping the armrest with white knuckles as the city below became a distant blur. His thoughts were consumed by the faces of the fallen—comrades who had fought bravely, only to be left behind. The explosion that had given them a fleeting chance to escape… It had worked, but it wasn’t enough. There had been casualties.Max’s voice broke through his thoughts, sharp and direct. “Hazeed, we need to talk strategy.”Hazeed turned, meeting Max’s cold gaze. “Not now, Max. Let me breathe.”Max’s eyes narrowed. “You don’t have that luxury. We can’t afford for you to burn out. You’re the one keeping us together.”Hazeed felt a

  • Omega Network

    The sound of pursuing Omega soldiers grew louder, their boots pounding the cracked pavement like a relentless storm. Hazeed led the charge, his mind focused, his team trailing close behind. Each turn, each alleyway, they took it with precision, trying to shake off the soldiers in pursuit. The streets were a maze, but they were also their advantage. The old city—crumbling and dilapidated—provided cover and escape routes that Omega wasn’t fully aware of.Max’s voice came through his earpiece, calm despite the chaos. “We’ve got a clear path up ahead, Hazeed. We need to get to the bridge and head north. The extraction team is ready.”"Copy that," Hazeed replied, his eyes scanning the shadows around him. His squad kept their pace, moving with practiced efficiency, but the sound of Omega’s forces was closing in. They couldn’t afford to slow down.Mazda’s voice crackled. "I’m jamming their comms, but it’s temporary. We need to move fast.""Understood," Hazeed muttered, feeling the weight of

  • OMEGA CLOSING

    As the first rays of dawn began to filter through the cracks in the warehouse's metal roof, Hazeed stood with his team, fully geared and ready for what lay ahead. The map Mazda had decrypted was now etched in their minds, each location a potential battleground. The stakes had never been higher, and with Omega tightening their grip, every second counted.Max, ever the strategist, was already barking orders. "Team Alpha, you’ll hit the northern facility. It’s heavily guarded, but that’s where Omega’s supply chains are most vulnerable. Team Beta, you’re with me on the southern command center. We need to cut off their communications." He paused, scanning the group. "This is the beginning of the end, people. Make it count."Hazeed adjusted his weapon, glancing at the faces around him. His crew, a ragtag group of rebels, had become more than just comrades in arms. They were his family now. Mazda, the brilliant hacker who had decrypted Omega’s secrets. Max, the cold and c

  • Omega Destroyed

    Hazeed stood in the dim light of the warehouse, his mind already shifting to the next phase of their plan. The data they had obtained could turn the tide of their rebellion, but it would only be useful if they could decode it and strike Omega where it hurt the most.Mazda, her brow furrowed, moved towards the small terminal they had set up in the corner. "I’ll start running decryption protocols," she said, her fingers already flying over the keys. The others gathered around her, their expressions a mix of exhaustion and anticipation. Max, the team’s strategist, leaned against a wall, arms crossed, surveying the scene. His sharp eyes always missed nothing."We don’t have much time," Max muttered, his voice low. "Omega won’t take kindly to this little raid. They’ll be mobilizing every resource they have to find us.""I know," Hazeed replied, his tone steady despite the adrenaline still pumping through his veins. "We can’t afford to wait. As soon as Mazda cracks this, we move."Mazda’s f

  • The Gambler on Sector Delta

    Hazeed emerged from the hidden passage into the eerie stillness of Sector Delta. The dilapidated streets were shrouded in shadows, the faint hum of Omega's drones lingering in the distance. His heart raced as he sprinted through the narrow alleys, clutching the portable device that held the key to their rebellion. He couldn't stop, not now. As he rounded a corner, a flash of light caught his attention. A patrol drone hovered nearby, its mechanical eye scanning the area. Hazeed pressed himself against the crumbling wall, holding his breath. The drone buzzed past, unaware of his presence. He took a moment to recalibrate, mentally mapping the quickest route back to the tunnels. But his respite was brief. The sound of boots crunching on gravel grew louder behind him. Omega soldiers. They were relentless, moving in a tight formation to cover the sector. Hazeed gritted his teeth. He couldn’t afford to be caught—not with the data that could shift the tide of their battle. He turned down
