"Good morning Sir!"
"Good day Sir""Sir!"The Nanotech uniformed with face sheathed man's walk down the hallway couldn't go unnoticed as multiple greetings and salutes got thrown his way while he walked, marching forward and towards the destination of the message he had received only just moments ago.
Underneath all that brovado, authority and Nanotech uniforming was a middle aged man of exactly thirty years of age, normal length light coloured messy brown hair with some natural earned golden highlights ranging from about half an inch to one and a half inch on different sides of his hair, deep blue eyes and red pigments encircling both his pupils who was standing at about six feet tall
Agent Michael .V. Griin also know as Agent Green or Agent Griin as a play on words. One of the six pillars of the GHA Arc Agents whose other limited number of elite members all also go by unique codenames as well, some more unfriendly than others.

The mention of dreams caused Michael to have a sudden rush of flashbacks of all the times he had had the type of dreams that he knew Gabriel was talking about and also the pain they came with and underneath his field his eyes could be observed to squint from phantom pain"!!" After being silent for three seconds Michael took his eyes from Gabriel and looked forward into the rest of the hallway"Static!... It's like everytime I close my eyes to sleep or just to rest and collect my thoughts I end up having THOSE dreams and in them it feels like I end up at the bottom of a waterfall up facing the bombarding down current and my face gets barraged with inconsistent flashes of scenes and images and the only constant thing from all that is the sound of static... Static and pain and I can't catch my breath, losing my anchor to my own body like I'm slipping out of it but not as a result of myself but someone el—... I can't really explain the feeling that comes with each d
After separating from Gabriel instead of going to the floor above the gain access of the door they had both been intending on going through and observe what was happening in the training room Michael remained on the same floor then walked directly to the door of the training room where the emergency alarm had come off from then he stood in front and raised his left palm closer to his face[Filtering Effect reduced by 60%] Displayed on his fieldHe could alter each attribute of his nanotech suit just by thinking about itHe pushed the palm forward and pressed it against the door and this action enabled the usage of an ability he had which allowed him to have a mind-view of a limited span of time what had occured in any enclosed environment using the memory that the door and walls had stored in themselves and although how far back the memory of the door and walls he could view into he only went as far as when the training exercise for that day started because the
Since the transformation the previously weak looking, slouching and lower lip injured boy had been wearing a confident smile (a grin) on his face so even though Angel was profoundly confused with signs of that adorned on her countenance she still felt this sense of trust and assurance standing next to him."Oh, and speaking of names mine is Sebastian but you can call me Saber... Miss teammate" he extended a hand out for a handshake but it was left unattended"Angel! My name is Angel and it's quite a simple name for that matter so don't go around calling me 'Miss teammate' again you jerk" The irritation was clearly disclosed in her tone and body language as she interrupted refusing to shake his hand which Saber retracted afterwardsHe grinned from ear to ear and raised an eyebrow at her and the irony then with his right hand he placed his fingers on his chin and started to stroke it gently"If I recall correctly you were the one who first started the nam
"""WHAT!!""" Everyone echoed"Now if I'm allowed to continue without any further interruptions... Apart from testing your information skills this first stage of the exercise was also meant to test your observational prowess and as you all clearly didn't notice it is impossible for all the teams to be of an equal number of three for if you had taken your time to observe instead of rushing in trying to formulate your teams you would have seen that there are only forty-seven of you so either one of the teams had members of two or other teams had more members making it more unbalanced and besides I never said that you guys had to be in teams of three..."*MURMUR*Everywhere became noisy as all the trainees were dumbfounded, mumbling to each other and trying to understand the instructor's words and the current situation of the exercise before they were cut short by more information from the instructor as it seemed that he wasn't finished with explaining how they m
*TSK* Angel smacked her tongue against the roof of her mouth"Darn it, we missed it!" she turned to the left to one of the trainees next to her "Excuse me but what did the instructor just say? What are we supposed to be doing again?" she asked while blinking slowly and looking unconcerned which to the contrary she was but just had that lackluster seeming persona at the moment because she was speaking to someone she wasn't that close too unlike how somewhat close she and Saber had now becomeThe trainee creakily turned their head and looked at her with nothing but a loud expression denoting contempt "I don't know, why don't you try listening next time" they said then turned to some others standing next to them bursting into quiet laughter, also calling Angel an 'idiot' in the processShe was a little confused at first as to why they were doing that and after it went on for longer than it should have she became annoyed and tried
It wasn't just only her because most of the other trainees didn't know what the Jettison Stream Bands wristbands were as well but thought they were just that, a normal wtistband people wear when they wanted to exercise."Foster" Saber said to Angel who turned around and looked at him "yes?""Don't you know about the name Foster?""Huh, am I supposed to?" she scrunched her eyebrows and folded her arms together"it's the name of one of the most renowed military families in the entirety of the United States. If I'm right about who she is then her father is General March Foster" He said to Angel"Nope, I didn't know that" she replied as she turned to Lucille"How did you know who my father is, even my teammates don't know that information so how did you?" Lucille spoke with mixed feelings"How did I know? Well my brother told me" Saber's tone
"Fine, my ass!""What the hell is wrong with her? Freak!!"Multiple looks of wonder and disgust were aimed solely at Angel for two basic reasons which were; one, because the others weren't used to her which was more like they didn't know her at all and she was a complete stranger to most. The second was because they all thought she was lying just as a front to look cool or something close to that because to them no one could have recovered that quickly. They used themselves to gauge and judge others recoveryWhispers started evolving in the training room with Angel being the subject of reproach."Angel? Are you sure you're really okay and you aren't just saying that because you know...?" Lucile said with a curious face and using her eyebrows to hint at what she meant instead of saying it"Sure I am" Angel casually shrugged and smiled looking as energetic as before "Isn't th
"Yes you heard me right, A TWIST and the twist is first; your speculation on the wristbands and their energy draining ability was right so for that I assign some scores to the trainee who solved that puzzle but like I was saying the twist. I will be reducing the energy draining coefficient of the wristbands so you all will be able to recover faster than you are getting drained of energy, and second, I will be pushing the actual brawl or should I say the face off between the ten passing trainees to the last exercise we'll be doing today but as for this one we will be incorporating a brawling element as well and I've decided to involve everyone and not just those who were able to retain consciousness during the previous exercise....""Huggh!! Common now!" Everyone who had fainted but now had regained consciousness murmured as they stood up and arranged themselves for the next exercise and whatever next the mysterious instructor had installed for them."Now,
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
