"""!!""" The other trainees were left speechless as they all shared surprised stares which were aimed at no one else other than the Emerged girl with blonde highlights, Angel, who had been the one to have made the earlier suggestion of them being allowed into the field in the first place.
The utterance was so out of left field that even Lucille was taken aback by the extreme manner the spontaneous nature of the girl beside her had gotten. Jewel, Samuel and Nathaniel were also shocked to hear what she said but out of everyone who reacted, Nathaniel was the only one who kept his composure and poker face."Angel?" Lucille mumbled with a questioning expression. "What are you saying?" All the trainees had figured out that they weren't being allowed to take part in the war and defend the nation on purpose and although trainees like Ryder had wanted to fight against it, it was inevitable that nothing he did would bare any fruitful results. OnShe knew that the Uprisers had their own Emerged soldiers because of what they saw outside the Richmond City's West Monument Bank and knowing how strong she was herself, the military forces that the United States government had to dispatch wouldn't be enough, no matter their number so the only people that could handle them was going to be the Arc Agents which was why Victor was there in the first place. Later along the line she remembered Adam's call for help earlier which was cut and because Adam and his level were sent in as temporary reinforcements to help the GHA Forces Unit and the military force of the nation until the Arc Agents are able to handle things on their end, now that the Enhanced reinforcements was asking for reinforcements of their own there wasn't any other type of force aside from the trainees in the program available. But knowing that the higher up were preventing them from going into the field and would only do so when things were extrem
"I hate to be the one to agree with the freak over there but she's right. We're the only option you have left to win this and it would be wrong on your part that you're willing to let the nation loose more lives, which isn't necessary, just to hold on to your ego. Completely unnecessary" the boy paused with a heavy gulp afterwards. "I don't think I've ever experienced this level of insubordination before in my entire life as an Agent of the GHA, especially being who I am but regardless of that I'm still standing on what I said ear—" "Please let us do this Sir!" Ryder bowed his head "Let us prove that we're worth all what we were given. That I'm worth what was given to me sir and I promise not to fail you" Ryder's actions really touched and motivated the others around him as they were seeing someone who they associated to being the bad guy now act in such a corrigible manner and the first amongst all of them to be influenced by the boy's acti
P05 watched more of the life of baby Charlie from the subject's point of view and had already known his name since the first day of watching them after having heard Roe and Reyleen calling it dozens of times while dotting on the baby boy but failed to disclose that information to P06 when they spoke earlier and now he having another session of binge watching about his younger twin brother's life which he seemed to be getting addicted to. The morning of the next day came again and the alarm to the lower level of the Soviet facility for the training was rang and then the video was cut short yet again with P05 being able to watch less days into baby Charlie's life as he did the other day because the frequency of times it got fast forwarded was getting lesser the older he got and the more people that gets introduced. Since everything was from baby Charlie's point of view, the feed had both a fastened playback speed and got fast forwarded as well because those were thin
Inside his room once again at night time, P05 continued to watch even more of now slightly grown baby Charlie's life through his view point in the video being shown on the walls of the young Child Agent in training's room while he spent the entire night preoccupied with trying to come up with a name for his bonded partner P06 that would fit him perfectly but this he didn't do in a stretch. He would watch the video then the thought would suddenly pop into his head about a potential name then he would think and agonize about it for a while when the name didn't match with his (P06's) look or personality which was something he learnt that people did when trying to name their children from watching the feed. He saw that from a conversion Reyleen was having with the other new parents around the neighborhood and it stuck to his mind. P05 would do all this thinking while nothing important was happening on the feed which at that point would be getting fast forwa
While the day went on as usual for the trainees in the Child Agent training program in this facility, on the upper level of the facility Franklin Crow who hadn't been around for a very long time now as he had been in the United States territory doing his work for his country and had just gotten back when he was given the run down of everything that occured while he was gone especially everything concerning the child agents in training who were part of his Mirror Initiative as not only Jericho's set of trainees were part of it but also some under his set were also among, seemed concerned about something.After being given the run down he found out that the trainees were taught about twins and lookalikes sooner than was supposed to and the order to make the teaching official do that came directly from Conroy himself as a bid to sabotage the initiative seeing that it was going as planned and his own Systemic Damage Installation and Progressive Adaptation Training initiativ
Conroy was the first one to check the documents and after they were all done he was also the first to speak out on what he thought about it"I don't get this, the Dot Log Chips and recording everyone's activities and whatever... I don't see the point of this" Conroy outright defamed the idea of both of the secrets Franklin Crow had just brought from the other side of the Rift as well as the new initiative he was soon about to push forward all in one go."Yes Franklin, I too don't get this... Can you please elaborate why this is so important to us?" Asked Carolyn who honestly didn't understand and not just because she wanted to give Franklin the opportunity to get his idea out there while the other officials were laxed to oppose because they were also ajoined in confusion."Of course Carolyn, I'll make it so clear that no one would have much questions after this." Franklin Crow said then looked around to all the officials seated ther
"WHAT! RIDICULOUS! There can only ever be a once in a lifetime genius of that level to tip the balance of the scales in this feud and you're telling me that the United States happen to have one of their own who would provoke that tipping scale and keep it even or go ahead to tip it against our favour? Nonsense!" Victorph spoke out angrily."So what orphanage is that Franklin? Surely your informant was able to disclose that information to you""Unfortunately no cause it turns out that Valestein keeps that information very close to his heart and his most trusted pet so the exact orphanage would be difficult to find until they've already made a move for that potential and then it would have already be too late"*SIGH*Most of the other officials were all looking dejected while wanting to drop their heads in defeat but refrained from doing such."Orphanage? I guess that shortens the
Showing currently via satellite view was the entire High Court courthouse building in Metro City and also few meters surrounding it which were streets and apartment buildings alike right at the middle of the massive monitor in this operations room in the facility.Within that same display were two police helicopters flying by and hundreds of Uprisers around engaging the officers within the choppers in a shootout but the helicopters which were on the side of the United States government's police force seemed to have been making good strides with the disadvantage they had in number when compared to the opposition.From the footage, the vantage point which the helicopters provided the Rapid Response Police officers and them also being within the helicopters themselves which provided a good enough protection from what the Uprisers were firing at them was a major reason for their current success even though their numbers wasn't something comparable to thos
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
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
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
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
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
""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
"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
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
