Finally it was Saturday, everyone was in high anticipation for the trial scheduled for early in the afternoon, clearing their day's activities so that they could watch a case of this magnitude happen live. A trial on terrorism as proclaimed by the law.

The entirety of Haven and it's different cities and districts were also waiting for the trial which all the Media Houses had advertised on several occasions, where as, a certain globally acclaimed genius was in a taxi, heading for the World Island prison, cities away.

Meanwhile, in the West Monument Bank, everything seemed normal as the customers were waiting in line for their turn to get attended to, others were at customer service, there was a school excursion happening simultaneously while outside the large bank building came rolling a series of trucks with heavily armed gunmen inside of it parking few tens of meter before a school bus.

Once stopped, the few pedestrians outside on the street wondered w

    "Your turn partner" said the young driver after a quick exasperated sigh, signalling at the fast closing doors of the bank's entrance and the man who had been in the passenger seat taking the initiative and unstrapped the gun around his body, causing it to fall to the ground while he continued marching forward and one of the other gunmen, a woman, ran closer and picked it up.As the passenger made the next step forward, with the bank door in front of him which was up the flight of stairs being only a few centimeters left from closing shut, the man stretched his right hand diagonally downwards with hand open and made a slight wavy fingers gesture.Out of nowhere an object in the form of a red and black baton the size of a human torso with flat bottoms, a box-like body and strange brown symbols all over it appeared in his hand which he grabbed on to tightly.He scoffed to a grin then at that moment an image of himself striking the door from ri

  • I AM BEYOND HUMAN   THE PROPHET

    Five minutes before the trial of Charlie Boyle starts thousands of miles away, in the confines of one of the GHA buildings, an alarm went off and on the screen next to the alarm a map of the Untied States popped up. from moment to moment the map would get more and more detailed, zooming in to a specific location on the map and that point it stopped zooming at was in Richmond City in Vintgate, on the birdseye view schematic of the West Monument Bank to be exact.While the emergency alarm signal sent out by the security in the West Monument Bank was being sent to the local police in Richmond City, it was also being sent to the GHA and so happens to any critical messages for help which would prove difficult for the police to handle on their own. This was because of the GHA being in charge of the Dot Log Chip records, so they should have an insight on what is happening if the assailants have a chip implant in them.Another reason as to why this is is because, after t

  • I AM BEYOND HUMAN   TEAM UP

    Inside the training room, once again the Emerged trainees were all going up against a an individual member of the GHA Arc Agents but unlike the day before today, the person they were all going up against wasn't Michael but rather Daniel who because he didn't have anything else better to do, decided to have a little fun by having a fight and maybe pass the time with that as well if they don't come up to the plate and perform below expectation, but, if they do perform well, then it's a win win situation for him either way.Michael was also there but what he was doing was the work of a bystander, observing how well the Special Class trainees were able to do against someone in Daniel's level because you never know when someone like that or even stronger is going to appear in the enemies team. Although they had to create the Emerged and Enhanced individuals and there currently isn't anyone posing a treat to the United States that they knew of, someone just like Michael who was

  • I AM BEYOND HUMAN   THE CONTRACT

    There were five different colours of balls made out of Michael's force-fields now in their hands which were; Red, blue, green, purple and then black and the number of each ball was equally distributed amongst all the trainees so that each team would have equal number of members. Although, that doesn't mean that each team would have equal power distribution between them because as it has been established, some trainees(either the enhanced or the emerged), were more powerful than some."Oh, I got green"..."Mine is purple, sweet"..."Nice, reds always been my favorite colour. Team Red here I come"..."Oh no, we got different colours so we aren't in the same team now"All the trainees mumbled amongst themselves before the one who was first to raise his hand and speak up, the opinionated trainee, spoke out yet again."So what member of the Special Class category does each colour take us to?" he asked and everyone wh

    Inside the West Monument Bank, after the gunmen assailants had dragged out the security personnels to join the other hostages and had then shot all of them in the head, the kids who were in an excursion all screamed at the top of their lungs while their teacher and the bank worker who was taking them on the tour as their tour guide tried to get them to calm down. Fortunately, the students were in highschool so they had sense enough to know what bad timing is and this definitely was the worse time to be acting out."You didn't have to kill them so quickly..." Said the young driver with his fingers in his ears "You could have taken them somewhere else or at least informed me before you did it and I would had gone somewhere else myself or closed my ears before the first gunshot or at least I would have told you to use a knife or maybe I would have killed them myself, silently" he frowned at the gunman who killed the security personnels and it was actually a women, the same on

    On the other hand, there was Daniel who was callously walking in whatever direction he wanted, knowing fully well that he would meet up with the gunmen assailants sooner or later. His LUCK was the only compass he needed in any location.The two GHA Arc Agents walked through the areas deep inside the bank, both heading to the same destination when they came close to the groups people who so happens to be strolling deep inside the reaches of the bank in search of anyone.Before they made contact, over at the passage to his left there was a group of individuals, all with Allied Liberal Sect uniforms and heavily armed weapons strapped around their bodies and because of how carefree he was at moving along the passages, these gunmen assailants took notice of Daniel before he could make it to the corner and into the next passage which they were.Being the leader of this squad, the lady who had killed the security personnels rushed forward to the bend, she then

  • I AM BEYOND HUMAN   VICTORY OR DEATH

    As the barrage of gunshots went down, over at the entrance area of the bank, the young driver had his middle and index fingers pressed against the side of his head while he grimaced, running his head while smacking his tongue against the roof of his mouth as he had a look of irritation stuck on him."I told them no loud noises" he mumbled.Whereas, the passenger was outside the bank but still under the water dome, seating at the top of the staircase and listening to whatever nonsense the police were going on about while the members of the GHA Forces Unit who were stationed in Richmond City, Vintgate, and at this particular district came parking with their vans and trucks.Inside the deep area of the bank, when the gunshots were fired Michael turned in the direction it was coming from and with his SPACIAL AWARENESS ability knowing that it wasn't coming from where the hostages were so he concluded that they were safe so his mind drifted to the next possib

    He walked back into the bank with the gunmen assailants that are left all spread out and threatening hostages while the young driver seating on top of the counter which separates the customers from the bankers and swinging his legs on there, seeming to be having the time of his life.Both this young driver and Daniel shared a similar level of eccentricity except for Daniel's is caused by his power MALICE but still he has more control over his own while the young driver did whatever he felt like doing on a whim when given the opportunity to. He would also switch from goofy to seriousness very fast when the situation needed him to."What's so fun that he seems to be having the time of his life while we're all held hostage like this?" Said one of the hostages who was pregnant and didn't have enough gunmen assailants around to point a gun in her face.From the distance you could hear a very audible yawn from where one set of gunmen assailants squad had gone

    THE RIFT BETWEEN

    I just want to say a big THANK YOU to every single reader that was able to get this far. Thanks for picking up this story and continuing with it even when the writing wasn't as good at the beginning and when the plot was feeling flat because I wasn't in a good head space or had enough free time to write what I wanted. Thank you for helping me grow as an author and tell my story and get your thoughts on it through the comments. Thank you for following me to the end of this journey. It's been almost two years since I started and finally the story comes to an end (or does it?) If you noticed I was kind of making things up as I went along which is why there are a few plot holes and things I forgot I had written before that didn't tie in well with the continuity of the story. This is my first ever book so a few mistakes are to be expected but regardless I apologise for them. I wanted to use this medium to both declare my appreciation for you guys as well as to pas

    MAKING THE RESET

    I had called my handler to meet me by a nearby coffee shop and by the time I got there he was already seated, waiting for me. Normally I avoid contact with him because it's always him hounding me about something but this was the first time in a long time that I was the one doing the reaching out."Sorry to keep you waiting Nick" I shook his hand then sat down."No problem, so, what is the purpose of this unexpected meeting""I want you to tell me everything about the Arc Agents and what the GHA's real objective is" I didn't waste anytime to ask the real questions.Nick was shocked by the bluntness of my question then tried to deny everything I asked and said in that meeting, gaslighting me most of the time and so it ended up with me not getting any worthwhile information out of him. The meeting took place before I had to go for work so without getting anywhere we ended it and I went to work but I knew that my questions wouldn't stay with Nick but wo

    "Please make it in time""If I do this then maybe it'll make up for the fact that all of this happened because I jumped back""Please make it in time"I was currently stuck in a hellish nightmare which was entirely guilt driven. Every action and consequences of said action replayed in my head, panicking, unable to find peace until I woke up with a *GASP*After forcefully waking up, I reached for something with my hand only for that to be the ceiling of someplace I couldn't recognize or knew how I got there. I would pant, trying to catch my breath when all of a sudden I felt a sharp pain in my chest.My teeth gritted and eyes squinting in pain, I reached for the source of this excruciating pain which was when I noticed the medical equipments I was hooked to and that I was on a hospital bed."This is familiar" I said internally after thinking of how it reminded me of waking up in a hospital as my host, the last time I jumped into the pas

    BACK HOME

    Mirajh jumped off from the top of the drone and they walked up to the others and because Mirajh was there, Talon quickly relinquished his temporarily given authority in favour of hers."Mirajh and Malkome, you guys made it. So what's going on?" Talon asked."It's over, all our forces have been killed and from the looks of it, we are the only ones left so the question now should be, what should we do next?"Once she said that all their forces had been killed, there was a unanimous dropping of jaws and none of them expected that it could have gotten this bad. They had completely underestimated the Arc Agents and the trainees. The GHA weren't even able to send their Forces Units to assist but the trainees alone along with help from the Arc Agents were able to decimate their entire forces."What about General Icon, does any of you know his whereabouts? If we can verify his status then we might be able to come up with a plan" Talon asked but seeing the look on

    INTERSECTION

    Levy who was close by and saw when Akarli was taking aim jumped in front of Boyo, trying to shield him with her body while I was beside the both of them, noticing too late until the shot had been fired.Jeremiah who the shot pulled back to his senses and he saw who she was firing at, the care he had for his best friend even though he didn't want to admit it made him lose it and reflexively he fired multiple shots at Akarli too, killing her on the spot next to Icon.All of this would happen in an instant but for some reason, because I didn't want any of my friends to be shot so badly that I dont know what happened but just like when that strange phenomenon happened back at the court during our escape and I managed to find where Boyo was because of it, it happened all over again.Suddenly everything began to slow down and the surrounding got pitch black with the only thing being as visible as day time were those in there with an angered Akarli holding on to the gu

    FINAL PAGES

    Once we were brought to the back, my eyes went to the elderly looking man sitting on a metallic chair with a caramel skin coloured lady by his right hand side. In front of them I saw two more individuals who weren't turned to us at the time we entered. One of them I couldn't tell their identity from their stature but the other I knew perfectly well who it was. "Char!" Before I could get the word out Levy called out to Boyo who once the both of them turned we saw an annoyed look on his face and it was clear by that look that he didn't want us to be there. The Upriser behind us pushed the both of us, telling Levy and I to keep on walking which we did until we walked up to where Boyo and the others were. "Nice to meet you, the both of you" Icon greeted us with a gentle smile which was obvious that he was hiding something from everyone, including those who were supposed to be his comrades in there. There was still something he failed to expose. "!!" Levy

    THE JOURNAL BELONGS TO...

    ""A journal?!"" Both Boyo and Jeremiah exclaimed."Yes... SIGH... A very long time ago, way before our formerly great nation was completely destroyed, former General Franklin Crow brought a younger me to one of his expeditions but this want just any regular expedition. It all started with him unintentionally finding the Philosophers Stone which brought about the rebirth and Emergence of our greatest soldier Anthony Wonne on one of his trips into the United States territory, allowing us to tap into a power that was only secret to our enemies. At that time and I had just been born so my father was the one who spearheaded the position I would later get when I was old enough so none of them knew that that small piece of attractive stone had such power hidden within it until years later, moments before the fall of the Old Soviet Alliance territory"Icon spoke with vivid words so that they would be carried along to where he was heading to."Being a curious man and thi

    LOST WAR EVEN BEFORE BEGINNING

    "Holy shit, what's that up there?" I couldn't help but exclaim while I and Levy tried our best to sneak into the slaughter house. We were moving very carefully, trying not to make any noise when my eyes just went up to the sky and I saw some strange looking patterns being created. "Shush Samuels, do you want to get us caught?" Levy reprimanded me with a low tone of voice but when she turned around to face me and do that she saw the awe stricken expression I had and my gaze up to the sky and she too followed. "What are you looking at?" she had her eyebrows scrunched. The moment she asked that question, my eyes flicked to her and I saw that she too was looking up to the sky but instantly realised the fact that she most definitely wasn't seeing what I was seeing. 'Don't tell me that I'm really the only one who sees that thing? No, that must be it because with her keen senses she would have noticed it even before I did if she could see it. Am I perh

    NUCLEAR DIVERSION

    Because the GIGANTA MACHINA worked like one big system, when the center of it was torn apart and the Stealth Drones that made up that part being completely destroyed the rest separated and returned to being Drones but because of what happened to the fused system the Stealth device they had was damaged and the separated drones were no longer able to go invisible.They all flew in different paths, dividing into those wanting to attack the trainees and those wanting to attack Michael but Michael acted quickly and changed where the outlet of the explosion was and used that to sweep the drones coming for him until all the explosion energy had been exhausted. From that point he attacked every single drone in the air with his BLACK FORCE-FIELD BLADE, not giving any the chance to attack the trainees but that meant that he had a lot to take care of on his own.With all their Force-fields no longer a viable option for defense and all the trainees they had to go against rea
