I gritted my teeth and groaned
The bullet flew right through my hand leaving a clean hole as it's entry and exit points and me in a lot of pain
"F*CK!!" I shouted as I crunched over pressing my injured hand between my other hand and my abdomen bloodying my shirt then I took the towel and wrapped around my injured hand and wound firmly but in the process the pain was so unbearable that I almost dropped the gun and drop on my knees as well and all the while Brian was left speechless and in awe as he looked at me.
"W-What did you do?"
*RING* *RING*
The house telephone behind Brian rang out filling the entire room but it couldn't do anything to change the intense atmosphere.
*PANT* *PANT*
"D-Don't touch it... let it go to v-voicemail" I spoke out with a cracking voice after I successfully managed to stop the bleeding while constantly panting and trying to stay calm and focused.
*BEEP*
The call went to voice mail
"Hello Mr Brian, It's Doctor Miracle. I was just about to end my shift when I said that I should call to inform you about this. If Amanda is there and you don't want her to hear this then you can pause this until she leaves..."
"That should be enough time so I'll carry on with the message, looking back to what I had told you about the second set brainwaves we found in Amanda's results, the one sending signals to underdeveloped sections of her brain, well after sending her tests and results to our neuro-mechnics specialist abroad his findings came back sooner than expected and let's just say there is good news and bad news.
Like customary I will start with the bad news first and the bad news is that brain damage is a certain if this persists and at the rate it's going if nothing happens then she only has some months before the signs start to show..."
"!!" Brian flinched at this news
"...Now as I said before there is good news, the good news is that the second brainwave as strange as it sounds is of a foreign origin which means that it's not a result of any abnormalities in Amanda's brain chemistry. The report went on further to say that the second wave is from an external source and Amanda's Dot Log Chip is acting as an antenna and receiving the signal which is what we saw in our MRI scans.
The specialist suggests that a temporary deactivation of her Log chip would allow it to reboot and that should cancel out the external signal... I just wanted to inform you on this so that you could have peace of mind and something to brighten your day plus since you work at the GHA headquarters deactivating it shouldn't be of any problem. Thanks for your time and get back to me when you receive this, goodbye"
*BEEP*
None of the two of us were expecting what we just heard to be the message and if I had known ahead of time I wouldn't have let the voicemail to play out. The atmosphere which was still intense took another form.
"I'm not Amanda, now I truly get what you meant by that statement. I pretty much know what there is to know about the Dot Log Chips because of the duty of my work and I don't think that my daughter's chip acting like an antenna and receiving your signal was a coincidence now was it?" Brian asked with a firmer tone of voice
'Well, you were the one meant to receive the signal but I'm not going to tell you that' the only thought that ran through my head at that moment as I was flooded with pain
"You are not going to answer me? Alright, I'll ask you this...are you from the faction or something more international. Also, what do you want and why my daughter?"
I could feel his rage and bloodlust towards me from all the way up here.
"S-Sounds like what the doctor said has made you to catch on, well it was worth getting shot at anyway... C-Check inside the backpack, you'll see a flashdrive in the last back pocket" I used the gun and pointed at the bag which was sitting on the couch beside Brian
He reached inside and felt different objects inside which I had used earlier "What are these doing here?"
"Hurry it up!"
He looked at me intensely then brought the flashdrive out slowly "this flash drive, isn't it—?"
"Yes that one"
"This is my office drive and the other things in the bag as well, just how long have you been the one in control you bastard?" He glared at me
"..." I flicked the gun at him
"Not going to say that too huh? It appears that I'm going off track so okay, I'll stop." he sighs "So what am I supposed to do with this?"
"What I want you to do with that is to take it to work with you, go down to the blackroom then stick it into the Black box—" I wasn't able to finish before getting interrupted by an inquisitive Brian again
"The Black box with the Log codes? What does that have to do with you? Why do you want it?" Brian interrupted with a scowl
"I don't see how that's any of your business, just do what I tell you. Put the flashdrive into the box like a good boy and the flashdrive will take care of the rest, afterall it was programmed for such purpose"
"And if I refuse?"
"Hmmm?" I was expecting him to say something along this line but it still felt conflicting so while caught a little bit off guard I had to improvise the most radical way I could think of
"I don't think your daughter would be winning any favours from boys when a bullet gives her a unibrow" I spoke out the most menacing way I could and even with a little girl's voice it was still impactful
I was nervous at if he was going to believe that I would go ahead with my ridiculous comment or not and call it bluff but I hoped that my insane action in shooting my hand and him not knowing what I am capable of doing would deter his mind a little.
"Okay... can I take a shower first? We wouldn't want to raise any suspicious eyebrows if I went to work in my underwear"
"Don't try any funny business!" I said in a little panic
It turns out that it was a rhetorical question as he didn't wait for me to give a reply before he exited the living room and went into his room, shutting the door behind
.
.
*DING* *DING*
The grandfather clock in the living room made its presence known when the time hit 8am and as if preprogrammed Brian walked out of his room at the exact moment dressed in his usual work attire which gave things a real dramatic feel.
"Lemme see the flashdrive" I prompted
He raised it up to show me then shoved it inside his trouser pocket
"Okay you can go now" I said as he turned around and started walking to the front door
"Just a heads up, if you try any funny business and deactivate Amanda's Log chip while you are at work just know that it takes over a second to completely turn off and a second is enough for my finger to trip up and cause an inccident so be careful, okay?"
He stopped moving for a second as I said what I did before continuing his walk to the door and opened it. It would seem that that was his plan all along
With one of his legs outside I made my last comment "Don't forget that you are against the clock... Remember those shots I fired? I'm pretty sure that we weren't the only ones who heared them and your happy ol' neighbours must have called the cops already..."

Brian just stood in his spot blinking his eyes in confusion as he tried to wrap his head around what Valestein meant "how can vision—""A VISION tells you what is physically possible and what is physically not and how to make what seems impossible possible.

Brian hadn't even walked in the hallway for up three minutes.He continued dragging his palm along the wall as he went in further feeling the cold and smooth texture of the wall when he reached a point where the wall around his palm felt slightly different from the rest then it shone a blue colour and highlighted around his hand."What the..."

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

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

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

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

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
