*Pant*

Selverin was still seated on the ring panting and trying to catch his breath because the fight before was very hectic and could have gone the other way if his height didn't play a major factor after the usage of the JSB  weapon 

*Click* *Tap* *Tap* *Tap*

Everyone, both the seated live audience in the SCRIMMAGE Arena and the online audience placed their bets after considering our energy levels being displayed on their digital betting cards and the physical body states both myself and Selverin were with me not looking like I had any fighting experience and Selverin looking really tired and injured

It was decided before hand that whoever won the previous fight was going to be the one to go up against the new contender in the half time ev

    Seating down on the Ring of the SCRIMMAGE Arena after being given a thirty minutes rest period Selverin The Strong who didn't want that just as everyone else but had no other choice than to wait and regain his lost energyHe turned his head one more time to take a really good look at me and assess what I was capable of from just a look"Hmm, doesn't look like this one is able to fight much but looks can also be deceiving... I should know that more than anyone else with me winning that almost impossible fight earlier... This won't do" Said Selverin the Strong to himselfWith the timer counting down with each second that went by everyone were patiently awaiting for the time when it would finally get to the full on zeros however the man in question wasn't going to let that happen, he wasn't willing to comply wit

  • I AM BEYOND HUMAN   THIS IS BAD

    The Showman had walked off the ring and was at a spot close to it so to spectate but not be a disturbance to anyone during the fight.Although the ring was big and if it was a typical wrestling match being on a ring with the fighters wouldn't have been a problem because in wrestling matches there is in fact a referee present there but because of the way the SCRIMMAGE Arena events were made with the weapons and all another person who wasn't fighting and standing on the ring would be nothing but an hindranceif it had been any regular fights like the last one with the two opponents already knowing what to do The Showman would have gone back up to the waiting room where Officer Victor currently is leaving everything to the commentators but since it was a half time event and I knew nothing of what the SCRIMMAGE Arena fights usually were he would need to be th

    "I have to get in top of this" he mumbled after gesturing to the other organizers and technical division members who had a more clearer picture as to what was happening in the comments section of the Dark Web Server's SCRIMMAGE Arena page than he or anyone else did because only a select few of the comments did make it to the display behind the ring which were the less negative ones while the really negative and mean ones when compared were left for the eyes of the technical division and those watching onlineThe Information came through the earpiece of the Showman telling him on what to do which was to fix the situation as soon as possible anyway thay he saw fit because that was what he gets payment for but the one thing they asked above all is for him to do it in a way where the audience wouldn't get too angry about it"Alright, this is going to be tricky but what t

    Those in the live seat audience were somewhat more biased in the favour of the organizers because even if the fights were cancelled they had nothing else to do as the only thing left for them the rest of the day was to go back to sleep so they would rather enjoy what they could here"Alright, it was just brought to my attention the new activity we were meant to do in celebration of the Half time event after it took so long, days worth to take place and I hope that you all don't get mad at we the organizers for forgetting to do this before we started the event" He said with a reassuring smile to deter and confuse the audience a littleBecause of how he looked it was only because of the zoomed in cameras that his smile was able to be seen by everyone"A new activity, what's he talking about?" Said those i

    Meanwhile, Selverin the Strong had been in meditation to increase his energy score which had gone to about fivety-eight percent since he sat back down and crossed his legsThe Showman signaled and got the technical division to bring back the timer which they had used to give Selverin The Strong the thirty minutes rest period but it started from where it should have been if Selverin hadn't interrupted meaning that all the time that had gone by since Selverin stood up and said he was ready to fight until now was deducted from the time as wellThis meant that I had only about fifteen minutes to get the information from the Showman and also a very good understanding of it and then strategize with that understanding before the half time event starts again officially"Okay, we all see the timer which is the s

    Next on the list of OPPONENT STRAIN WEAPONS is the JSB weapon which as mentioned earlier reduces the opponent's energy score by doing something to their body while the fight proceeds and at the moment there has been no antithesis of this weapon because it is recently new and has only been used onceFirst when a new weapon has been introduced it is up to the Brawlers and their fighters to come up with a weapon that acts as the opposite or a disenabler and the organizers get that weapon as part of the weapons selection listHopefully by the next event the opposition to this very powerful weapon would have been added by one of the Brawlers or fighters to give themselves the advantage or at least take away the advantage from their opponentFinding the appropriate opposition and keeping it to yourself

  • I AM BEYOND HUMAN   NO MORE DISTRACTIONS

    These amongst others were the list of weapon types and categories being used in the SCRIMMAGE Arena with some being in actual weapon form and the others as some sort of a limiter or buffing depending on what side you were on during the usage of such an equipment but the fact of the name is because anything can be a weapon if used properly even a featherDuring the expo the image of each weapon would be shown but the usage was left to the imagination of those watching and listening as they couldn't possibly show all what a particular weapon could do which isn't to say that they couldn't but it wouldn't be right, the fighters had to figure that out for themselvesAnother thing about the weapons and SCRIMMAGE Arena is that a fighter or contender could use two weapons at the same time as long as they weren't the antithesis of each other so that the opponent stands

    I have never been a shy person so being in this type of situation wasn't going to make me nervous enough to fumble and if I did fumble it would be because I had no idea what fighting like this would be like"Alright Mr Selverin, let's have at it but wait I shouldn't be talking right now" I said before going into what I thought was battle stance from all I remembered from video games I play once in a while and what Selverin The Strong was doing but the man on the other hand had different ideas running through his head"Since the people have waited this long I might as well give them what they want and the real thing they want is..." He mumbled to himself when all of a suddenThe fight had started and the Dwarf man transcended from his natural fighting stance which he assumed since he stood ba

    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
