Any chance she could get, Angel would use to catch her breath and buy herself more time until her blood had been replenished enough, making it possible for her to get her bearings back. Because of she had gotten a better understanding of her powers due to The Link formed with Michael she knew exactly how long it would take for that to happen which is why she's trying to stall for time but unfortunately ends up having a hard time with it.
The only option left to her is to go somewhere she can hide for the few remaining minutes it would take for her to get her energy up and with that, before the Uprisers would continue to shoot at her because the shock they were feeling from having missed and that having thrown them of was now about to wear out, so she needs to act now.Looking through the sides of her eyes and at the Uprisers she saw that they were aligning their guns to her current position and are about to shoot again. She had her mind barely in Hyper timeIt happened so fast for those who could only perceive things at normal speed and to them, after just seeing Angel rolled up on the floor and by the wall, making sure not to touch any parts of her body with her right hand, less than a second ago, the next thing they heard was the sound of thunder and by the end of the passage, all the Uprisers behind the force-field were on the floor, scattered, passed out and the way no longer being obstructed by the force-field anymore.Surprisingly, standing over their unconscious bodies was Angel whose clothing had some burn marks on it and some sparks all over her body that quickly vanished.For the girl who actually experienced what happened, after she envisioned how many steps it would take her to get to the end of the passage, she then went into a running stance before powering her leg and taking the first step in her maximum speed, which ended up leaving a crack on the side of the floor her pushing foot was ju
"What'd you think all that noise is Samuel? If only we could move in these, whatever they are, even just a little, I'll be able to get a better view" Beside me and somehow able to control herself in the intensity of the current situation we were in Levy asked me, attempting to jump while trapped in foam but not even being able to do that. I on the other hand was just about to loose my mind from all the gun shots and what sounded like thunder I was hearing but I was barely managing to maintain face because I didn't want to seem like the weak one here. I had to act strong. However, the others didn't share the same sentiment as I did and were screaming their heads off. Praise had her eyes closed, scared of what was happening while Miss Maybe who was light headed from losing a significant amount of blood tried to comfort her the only way she could, without being able to touch her due to being trapped too. The foam was providing support against the opening o
Both Levy and I stared at the girl in disbelief while the others she had just freed were all beginning to one by one, gather around us when they noticed the flashy looking girl was in front of us. She was flashy because of the colour of her hair and the fact that she only had a sports bra to cover the top of her body while the down part which was her pants had holes and blood on it.There was also a lot of dried blood on the exposed parts of her body. Just because she heals doesn't mean that the blood on her previously exposed wounds would just vanish and she would be out of the shower clean. That's not how it worksEven though they didn't and we all didn't see her free us from the foam because she did it in Hyper time, we still knew that this girl wasn't amongst us when we got trapped in the first place or else we would have seen her and she looked like around the age where even though the others didn't see her speak like we just did, she still looked like
Finally, as a well organized group we all made it to the back row, about to make it out the entrance of the courtroom with Levy, Praise, Miss Maybe and I at the back of the escaping crowd while Angel was in front, leading the charge and making sure that the way was safe for us. In the distance and still within view from us were the Nobles, government men with their Dallihands and security detail protecting them and because of what made up their two separate groups, they were more organized than we were. Even though they left together and were for the most part moving together, it's not to be mistaken that they are indeed together because the Nobles were looking after themselves and the government men were looking after themselves and each person supposed to protect someone within those two groups was only looking after that said person, whereas the others are free game. They wanted to escape on their own but at the same time wanted to be within a close distan
"What's wrong with you?..."Nathaniel, Jewel, Samuel, Lucille and Adam were all walking some reason unconventional routes to the location where Ryder and the others were waiting for them. Adam who was taking the lead even though they all had to stay within a very close proximity of Nathaniel would have a cautious look on his face as he tried to watch out for the presence of any Upriser close by."If one of the bionic suited soldiers were to appear here and they decide to attack, I'm not sure this kid will be able to keep his concentration on those drones during something like that and we'll be left out in the open to weapons we can't even see" Adam mumbled to himself while taking his hearing to their maximum, trying to pick up if there were any Upriser presence close by.'But thinking about it it's kind of strange that with as many as they seemed we've been able to get this far without coming in contact with any. Could it be that where I
"We have zero time for all these questions. If you can't tell we're in an emergency situation so instead of asking unimportant questions, what we should be doing is hurrying the hell up out of here and she's the only one who knows more about what's going on out there than any of us, so let's all do well to stop the interrogations...Please" I interrupted the conversation which seemed like it was beginning to go into a place that would disrupt the order we have already established.*STEP*Levy walked forward with her phone in hand "There's no signal anywhere Samuel. Considering what's going on I think there's something wrong with the cell towers. What'd you think we should do?" She was also doing what she could to steer the conversion elsewhere but regardless of our efforts as two people who aren't that influential, because of who we were trying to stop from pressing further a particular concern which the majority also shared, eventually our effort fell flat.<
"What'd you think you're doing, Asset? Get in" She asked with a scowl on her face, already having an idea of what me not being inside the van already meant. The tone at which she had just spoken with sounded simultaneously like a question but at the same time a threat. And for someone who can do what she can, a threat from her is not to be taken lightly.I had already accepted the fact that she was amongst the secret individuals Sylvia told me about when I first came back after my last jump. However, what I didn't know was if she was one of those known as the Arc Agents or the others and because of all the uncertainty surrounding this innocent looking kid, I would be an idiot if I didn't say that I wasn't a little bit scared of her, regardless of how she's saved all of us from being trapped and was now about to get everyone out of here.As she questioned me, I on the other hand was shocked and couldn't really believe that as the grown man that I am, even th
"All the conventional networks for communication and access are being being blocked and we can't move freely because we might constantly be getting watched by drones, meaning we can't start roaming aimlessly or else we'll attract unwanted attention to ourselves... Hmm, this is some serious mess that we're in" I had my hand to my chin trying to think. "Wait, did you just say conventional networks? Meaning that there's possibly a none conventional way to get into the network? That sounds like what you're trying to say Samuels" Levy asked, being quick to catch my words, proving even more how her mind perfectly fits into her line of work. "You caught that huh? Well, I don't know for certain but there's only one way to find out" I said then reached into my pocket and brought out my phone "Hey, Silvia" I spoke into it and Sylvia's interface came online {Yes Mr. Samuels?} "Sylvia? You mean that program you were working on and gave Char and I a sneak peek of?
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
