Exactly four years since the day after the Boyle family moved into the neighborhood and had an unexpected visit from Franklin Crow, may 4th and the year 2033 Roe, Reyleen and the other parents living in the same neighborhood alongside their kids, friends and co-workers were celebrating a much older baby Charlie Boyle's fourth birthday
The parents and adults were together and catching up while the celebrations went on and as for the children they all played around and with the rented toy ment for the party
Just as the party has been going on for about an hour a loud scream was heard from where the children had been playing making all the parents inside and scattered all around the place to rush there with scared and concerned looks
"Lemme pass, lemme pass" Reyleen forced her way to the front of the crowd of pa
The next day and Charlie had already been awake for some hours now since the sedative wore off after which Roe and Reyleen who had taken a day off from work due to the emergency comforted him for a while before they stepped out acting dramatically suspicious to lighten his mood*CREAK*Minutes after they left the door to Charlie's hospital room was slowly opened and coming in through it were Roe and Reyleen back into the room who had a surprise for him and as they both walked in opening the door fully through it came Levy with a balloon in her hand and then behind her were the other kids who were at the party when the accident happened"Char, we have a surprise for you" Roe and Reyleen had reassuring smiles on their faces as they were the only ones who were seen in the room with him at first
"What is this?" P05 asked himself as he peered at the display with a disturbed and agonized lookMeanwhile, the people in the video were singing a happy birthday song to Charlie then all the kids gathered around him before their pictures were taken and then they separated then two adults, a man and female, walked up close to him then squatted to take their pictures with him and looking to have more affection for him than the others"Who are those?" P05 had never seen parents and had also never seen that level of affection shown to someone else in his entire life since he became old enough to remember things and apart from curiosity the other emotions that filled him were jealousy and envyHe was looking at what seemed to be the perfect version of himself and the perfect life he could be havi
The next day came quicker than expected and P05 wasn't able to notice how fast it went bybecause he spent the entire night binge watching everything baby Charlie was seeing and hearing ever since his first birthday to two weeks later with unimportant things being fast forwarded forgetting to sleep himselfHe was able to see through baby Charlie's eyes and see the first time he met baby Levy, how their two families interacted with one another as well as the others in the neighborhoodThe first thing that crossed his mind while watching especially when the feed was fast forwarded was that someone must be planning all of this and was most likely watching him watch the videos as well because there was absolutely zero coincidences that the video just started playing on their own without someone actually making it happen "What are you talking about a video of someone who looks exactly like me but wasn't me appearing on the walls of my room? Why would that even happen and why walls specifically? What about ceilings? Very strange, I think it appearing on the ceiling would have been the best possible spot to show up because I can just lay back on my bed with my head up, watching everything and maybe have a little snack if possible, just like the way people watching movies eat something in a funny bucket" P06 who had looked confused and a little sceptical at first started to joke towards the end as he thought his seatmate couldn't possibly have been serious. "This is serious" P05 said which made P06 to sigh and go back to being serious about the topic. "Alright fine," He gestured "but that seems like a very weird question to ask out of thin air if you ask me...I never would have guessed that you're this type of a weird guy even if everything about you points to that" he continuedI AM BEYOND HUMAN INSIDE THE SOVIET FACILITY
"What in the world are you talking about? What plan exactly?" Jeremiah asked Jericho as the both of them walked together to the training areaThey had just finished being educated about the history of the United States a couple centuries beyond The Great Selection which was in contrast to that of the Soviet Alliance and were now starting with a new physical training which involved sparing with their bonded partner and also the usage of weapons or a weapon to be preciseThe exercise involved each of the bonded partners of two taking turns on who gets to use the weapon in which this case was a plastic dagger which could deliver cuts on someone if used against them and also stab them deeply if also used for that specific purpose except it wouldn't be as deep as a real steel dagger wouldThey have bee
"Woah, how'd you do that?!" Jeremiah was amazed at the feat he just watched happen right in front of him and so did everyone else who were all having impressed looks adorned on their prepubescent faces"Hey, that was some impressive move" said one of the other child agent in training"I know right, can you do that?""No I can't but I can try,... Maybe... What about you, can you do it since you like asking questions?""Not even in a dream will I ever want to do try that"Ever since the child agents in training were a lot younger and before the concept of bond partnership ever came to play they were all looking like drones who obeyed any order given to them and didn't say anything bu
"So what do you have to say for yourself now... Franklin?" Victorph spoke smugly while they were still having the twelve members board meeting and Conroy had just exposed the inconsistent nature of the new High Ranking Hypnosis Initiative Franklin Crow had just introduced as well as brought the questionable nature of the Mirror Initiative to light further taking it down the impression the other board members had of it regarding its probation"Now now Victorph, it's no use making fun of the man" The other man who was in alliance with both Conroy and Victorph as the three sat down together spoke as a taunt aimed at Franklin CrowAs the two men seemed to have it for Franklin Crow, Conroy on the other hand was disappointed as he being exposed to his wrong doings with what Franklin Crow had said about patriotism over personal grudges earlier was now actually one of the people who wanted to see this new High Ranking Hypnosis Initiative and the Mirror Initiative do well all f
The meeting finally came to a close as the board members got up and all stepped out one after the other in an organized fashion. The first amongst those who got up were Victorph and the last ally in the trio who both have dissatisfied looks aimed at Conroy as they walked around the glowing ring like tableNo matter the frown Victorph had while walking away from Conroy the moment he got to Franklin Crow at the other side and the thought of having been able to put a wrench in his plans made Victorph to instantly wear a grin before chuckling and stepping out as the doors slid open from the middle and to the opposite sides like how an elevator door does"Sorry I couldn't be of help Franklin" Said Carolyn as she placed one hand on the man's shoulder while getting up and then joining the other board members who were already up and were exiting as well"Crow" Said the board member who was at the last spot while leaving therefore leaving only Franklin Crow and Conroy wh
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
