(Zene) Huff Puff While the jets flew past his head, Zene was having the same nightmare every single day. The same nightmare that told him a tale of a destined future. But, Zene was not the one to mingle with stupendous stuff such as fate and destiny. He woke up to a call from Agent G. And now here he was, in front of numerous mercenaries that went beyond the counting of fingers. His fist glew pink and his eyes set dead on his target. Swoosh* Zene lept forward as he closed down on the distance between him and the mercenaries that were unaware of his presence. Bam* Zene slammed one of the soldiers down to the ground as the remaining pointed their rifles at him startled by his emergence from thin air. "We have an intruder! Open fire!!!", Yelled one of the mercenaries before he began open firing at Zene. Bam* Bam* Bam* Zene dodged the bullets fired at him as he grabbed the neck of the mercenary and snapped his neck with little resistance. "Fire!!!" Argh* Zene dashed from
Huff Puff All the three members of the squad united near a junction. The smell of burnt plastic and rusted Metal filled the vicinity. Zene dragged the target, Aleksandr Petrov along with him. "You knocked him unconscious?", Lisa inquired while staring at Zene. "Felt like making things a bit easier", Zene replied while he scratched his head. "Oh damn, that's one way to bring the man in question", Agent chuckled while he walked towards both assets. "What exactly happened, Zene?", Agent asked out of curiosity. "I went into the warehouse, through the front gate?" "Who even enters through the front gate?", Lisa interrupted. "So, I enter inside and see this man clench his fists" "I was already quite annoyed because of those Hagner mercenaries" "So, you took it out on him?", Lisa grumbled. "I gave him ten seconds to surrender", Zene replied. "That's so much, next time you should probably not even hesitate" "I mean it was fun, he put up a good fight. Is he a hy
"Who are you?" "..." "How did you know my name?" "Easy there, One question at a time" "Who are you?" "I am Vladamir Trotsky, your highness" "What did you mean by that?" "I don't know what you are talking about", Vladamir replied. {False} Aren pointed the gun at him. "What are you?" "Just a random visitor" {True} "What do you mean by that?" "I don't know what you are talking about" {False} "The next time you lie, I will shoot you", Aren gave one final warning. "Why did you call me, your highness?" "I can't answer that" Aren pointed the gun but Trotsky pointed his hand at her and snapped his fingers. In an instant the gun that Aren once held was now in Trotsky's hands. "What the-" "Miss Aren, what was the first lesson I told you" "...", Aren stared out of confusion. "Observation" "Although you only believe something once you have observed that doesn't mean all observations are in fact real" "Don't believe what you see, it will be helpf
Sigh* "What do you want to do with him now", Zene inquired while staring at Aleksandr. "Untie him", Agent replied. "He could snitch on us", Zene added. "He has a daughter, he does that and he faces his own consequences" Zene untied the man and let him free. "Take care of yourself, staying in this warzone will still be dangerous if the people of the Matrix come for you", Agent gave one last advice to Aleksandr. "..." "Tell Lisa to pack her belongings, we will be leaving tomorrow in the morning", Agent ordered Zene. Knock* Knock* "Come in" "We are leaving tomorrow", Zene passed on the message to Lisa. "Okay" "It's gonna be a long night, you should get some sleep, Zene", Lisa advised while shutting the door on his face. Sigh* The night was unsually quiet for some reason. Today not a single fighter jet flew past their heads. There is a saying, the calm before the storm. But, for Zene his battle was elsewhere. It was within his own dreams. Huff Puff
Screech* "Ah, I can't help but feel annoyed by these constant sounds of jets flying past my head", Lisa grumbled. The squad members left Aleksandr and his daughter alone and left on their way to find a car and leave Belgorod for good. Zene was having a hangover due to the constant nightmares and the drinks taking their effect. "Are you okay, Zene?", Agent inquired. "Yeah, Yeah I am fine" "Doesn't seem like it" "I am not getting enough sleep that's all", Zene replied. Sigh* "Gosh, how long do you want us to wait near this bus stop?", Lisa yelled at the Agent. "He should be here any moment now" "Who?" "Just an old partner" A black car approached them from behind. Screech* The tinted windows slid down and a middle aged guy puffed the smoke onto Lisa's face from within the car. "This motherfucker!" "Easy there", Agent stopped Lisa from doing anything rash. "How have you been Agent- G" "Did you gather all the files?", Agent-G inquired. "Yes" "Good,
"Guys, I have something to say", Zene looked at Lisa who was sitting behind him. "What is it?", Lisa inquired. "You know the plan regarding Ivanov?" "Yeah, what about it?" "I don't think I would be of much help with that he knows me and I would be a hindrance anyways" "So what do you wish to do?", Agent inquired. "Now that we are here in Moscow, with plenty of time left before the target arrives I was thinking of waiting by that bar" "Ah sure go ahead we will deal with him", Agent replied as he opened the car door for him. Sigh* Lisa stared at Zene cross the road and move to a nearby bar on the other side of the road. "Agent I wonder, how do you know for sure that Ivanov will pass through this street" "I recieved some pictures of him and a reliable intel from an anonymous source" "How is it reliable when the source is anonymous?", Lisa inquired. "Exactly that's the strange thing, the fact that I am unable to find the source no matter how much I try to vet him
"There he is, Brois Ivanov", Agent pointed at a man walking on the footpath. "Get out of the car and follow him", he added. Boris made his way past the black car parked beside the footpath. To his unawareness three people followed him into the alleyways. With the barking of huskies growing intense the tension and fear within Ivanov grew larger and larger. He felt as if he was being watched. He felt his chest become heavier and heavier as time passed by. A woman appeared from behind and snatched the bag that Ivanov was holding onto. "Hey! That's my bag!", Ivanov ran after her as she guided him into a deep alley. With the barking of huskies growing intense she stopped at a dead end. "Give me the bag, now!", Ivanov yelled at her as she threw the bag on the ground. "Come get it", Lisa provoked him. "You filthy thief!", Ivanov charged at her with the most half-assed posture one could possibly make. Argh* And to everyone's surprise Ivanov tripped himself and fell
"How will I produce such energy, Vladamir?", Natsuki asked out of confusion. "So, first up we have to start things back from square one" "You need to remove all the knowledge that you had behind, do you understand?", Trotsky added. "Yeah explain it to us", Mokshith replied. "So, do you know what fragments both of you possess, gentlemen?" "I possess the fragment of light, am I correct?", Mokshith replied. "That is correct" "And you Natsuki" "Me?" "I don't think I ever felt this thing that you call fragments" Sigh* "That's really weird, all of your kind should be able to sense it, do you feel anything weird inside your body?" Natsuki paused momentarily as he tried to sense something within him. His concentration was all diverted towards his torso in an attempt to sense this feeling or presence of the fragments. As he explored through the darkness, Natsuki witnessed two flame orbs revolving around one another. "Do you see it, Natsuki?" "I can see flames and that's about i
"I created you, Zene", Trotsky replied. "You and Aliyonah both were my creations that I brought up in a lab" "While I never gave her any memories after her creation but the same I couldn't have possibly applied on you" "I needed you to have those memories, I needed you to be ready when the time came" "I threw the both of you in that military camp, because it was what I was supposed to do" Zene looked at him while his eyes narrowed down. "Those memories of yours, all of them were a lie" "A fabricated story" Zene fell on the cold snow, his body started trembling while he couldn't reason with the storm of emotions that ran inside of him. He cuddled himself while tears ran down from his eyes. Zene felt like a failure, he lost the one thing that reminded him that he was not just a weapon but once may have been a human as well. {Zene it is better to die as a human than as a weapon, don't you think} Natsuki's words did no better, his mind was not reasoning. {Zene, wh
Huff Puff Agent opened his eyes only for him to look at a surreal landscape. Volcanoes erupted from the ground, craters that spanned kilometers wide. Oceans that soared hundred feet high and the world that we once knew was in a state of apocalypse. Creatures that defied science, the world turned closer to fantasy than reality. His skin started sweating while the heat suffocated him. He looked around to find a giant monster stand in front of him, a being with one eye, it's span crossing hundred meters wide and standing as tall as an empire state building. He looked at the monster as it now faced him. With a single breath of that monster his body dissipated to thin dust. Huff Puff Agent woke up as he layed on the snow. He looked around as his hazy vision turned clear. There he was Vladamir Trotsky standing in front of him while Lisa herself was knocked unconscious. Agent layed on the ground with no strength left in his body to get up. "What was that thing tha
The cold winds brushed past their faces with the freezing cold that turned their lips numb. While their muscles ached on top of the lack of air made it difficult to carry forward with the luggage strapped behind their backs. "Zene did you bring the oxygen cylinders?", Lisa inquired. Zene stopped and dropped the heavy bag on the ground. "Take it, We need to move quickly before the sun sets", Zene stated while he looked at the peak that was hundreds of meters ahead of them. Huff Puff "I feel light in the head as well", Agent replied. "We need to move quickly to find some shelter before the cold gets the best out of us", he added. "Zene, you were the one that carried all the load" "How are you still standing still?", Agent inquired. "I keep my body under equilibrium while I maintain control on my fragment" "I see", Agent looked ahead of them. "Are you done, Lisa?", Agent asked out loud. "Yeah, let's go", she puffed one last time before she retracted the oxygen cy
Cling Clang A guard approached the solitary cell and opened the heavy metal door open. The place was drak with no lighting on the inside, there he was the man in question groaning at the flash of bright light onto his sunken eyes. "Dimitri Popov, I have some questions for you", Zene stated with a smile on his face. Screech* Zene closed the metal door and placed a lamp for lighting the room. "Never saw a guard like you, must be a new one", Dimitri murmured. "It wouldn't be a stretch if I told you that I came all this way for you", Zene replied. "I am but a lifer that has been serving in this prison for fifty years, what use would I be to a young handsome man such as you, sir." With wrinkles all over his face and the sunken eyes alongside his tired expressions spoke more words than any stories told by the inmates in the lunch hours. "What brought an old man such as you down into these dark rooms?", Zene inquired. "You refuse to work for the warden and he throws you
"What do you mean by that?", Aren inquired while she sat on the table. Sigh* "I will not answer any questions related to you, do you understand that?", Trotsky grumbled. "When you told my father to find his path, his purpose did you mean something?" "Your father, he wished to find the reason behind his existence and that's when he came up with an idea" "Natsuki! We did it, We discovered a new element!!!", Mokshith yelled out loud out of joy. "Guys, Guys I have something to tell", Natsuki calmed the boys down. "Now that we have finished our last project, I think I want to move on to the next phase of my life" "Where are you headed to, Natsuki?", Trotsky inquired. "I have decided to go on a journey around the world to find my purpose" "You want us to come along?", Mokshith inquired. "He meant to go alone on this journey, Mokshith", Trotsky replied. "Ah, that sucks" "We have finished all the projects that we dreamed of building, didn't we?", Natsuki stated. "..
"You should get some sleep, Mokshith", Trotsky suggested while he wiped his face dry. "I can stay up a bit longer", he replied while looking at the ward inside which natsuki was bedridden. "I hope he wakes up soon", Mokshith stated. "He will anytime now", Trotsky murmured quietly. Huff Puff Natsuki woke up from that everlasting nightmare only for him to look at the attire of his inside the hospital. His face was covered in bandages, his entire body was covered in cloth to heal his burn wounds. Natsuki gasped for air as he looked around to find a nurse stare at him with popped out eyes. "Doctor!", the nurse screamed out loud. Huff Puff Natsuki looked around as his hazy vision started to clear up. There they were men that he once knew stood in front of him with worried eyes. "Are you okay?" "Natsuki can you hear me?", Mokshith yelled out loud. Their voices were muffled and his ears were constantly ringing. He looked at the white room with bright lights fl
Glug Glug A young child was caged within a glass container, the boy couldn't open his eyes nor could he move his body. Zene gasped as he woke up from the same nightmare. "So you finally woke up, huh", Lisa stared at Zene who was gasping to get some fresh air. "What time is it?", Zene groaned. "It's 11 am and Agent drove us near to the prison while you slept all night", Lisa replied. "Where is he?", Zene inquired. "He should come back any moment now" "Guys get out of the car", Agent pulled out a suitcase that cared their essentials. "Where are you going?", Zene asked. "We will be staying inside the hotel for a day or two", Agent replied. Sigh* Lisa fell on the soft bed and began stretching her body for some comfort. Moan* "Stop making weird sounds", Zene grumbled. "Does it excite you, my boy?", Lisa chuckled. "Piss off" "Zene, shall we take a look at the jail?", Agent inquired while he brought out a file related to the target. "Right let's get it over
As soon as we arrived at the church we saw a couple kissing each other. And that's when I first saw Natsuki cry. "That's Clara", he murmured. "Who, I can't see any girl nearby", Mokshith squinted for better view. "Is she the one that kissed that guy" "Yeah", Natsuki looked gloomy while tears trickled down from his eyes. "I did everything I could man" Natsuki glared at the couple unaware of his presence. "And some random guy comes in and takes her away with little to no effort" His veins popped as he glared at them with his teeth gritting against one another. "It's unfair" "Natsuki, Listen man you need to chill out", Mokshith tried to calm him down. Natsuki went through hell day after day and not once did his fragment respond. But today, his fragment took over him. [Fragment of Origin] His body was covered in weird tattoo marks with flesh burning from within him. "Natsuki, is that you?", Clara inquired as she got a little closer for a better view from th
"How will I produce such energy, Vladamir?", Natsuki asked out of confusion. "So, first up we have to start things back from square one" "You need to remove all the knowledge that you had behind, do you understand?", Trotsky added. "Yeah explain it to us", Mokshith replied. "So, do you know what fragments both of you possess, gentlemen?" "I possess the fragment of light, am I correct?", Mokshith replied. "That is correct" "And you Natsuki" "Me?"

Natsuki paused momentarily as he tried to sense something within him. His concentration was all diverted towards his torso in an attempt to sense this feeling or presence of the fragments. As he explored through the darkness, Natsuki witnessed two flame orbs revolving around one another. "Do you see it, Natsuki?" "I can see flames and that's about i
