Michael who was now healing Peter saw that Daniel was having issues and offered help to him while he was on the floor with blood on his forehead but Daniel who could hardly see more than some feet beyond where he was and the voices of outside sources like Michael's being distorted to him but still he could make out the statement enough to answer
"No, I don't need any help" √If you don't get any help now you will surely dieThe voice in his head said and it was as clear as it usually is but Daniel still proving stubborn refused to do anything about it and waved it off.
"I don't need any help" he said when suddenly the baton fused passenger jumped forward and came landing in front of him which shook debris small enough to bounce.The fused Passenger pulled Daniel up by the neck until his feet wasn't touching the ground any longer and started to choke him with one hand while Daniel gagged for release but couldn't do anything. He was tWhilst already having been taken somewhere to rest and regain their energies by the GHA Forces Unit, with the Richmond City's police being left to take care of the rest from the West Monument Bank attack scene, which involved obtaining and disposing the bodies of Allied Liberal Sect members killed by Daniel Druid and then apprehending the ones put out of commission by Michael deep into the bank. Now being allowed to rest in the hospital like facility (a medical facility) meant for situations like these where members of the GHA Forces Unit get treated, which also had tools and equipments fit for taking care of the newly created set of Enhanced trainees when they graduate (Those in Adam, the captain during the first day of joint training, level) and hopefully join the ranks of maintaining public safety. There were also facilities like this around the entire continent, meant to provide medical assistance to those specifically listed by the GHA, no matter where t
There remaimed only centimeters as the distance between the surface of the chest area on Michael's Nanotech suit and the tips of the hundreds of water spikes being lunched at him and Michael still in the air, with no way to escape the pyramid in time as the tentacles from the base were also reaching upwards to get another attempt at grabbing his feet. Also, there wasn't any defensive technique that Michael had in his arsonal which could completely protect his entire body from all the water spikes in time with the speed that they were moving. With all those factors in mind (The speed of the water spikes, Michael needing to jump up to avoid the water tentacles coming for him from the interior base of the pyramid and then how fast the man dressed in a Black Nanotech suit could generate a full body force field shield) Peter chose the move he did and no matter how erratic he was behaving, when it came to battle (especially attacks) he usually does think rati
Everything happened from start with Michael in the air and falling back to the base of the pyramid where the tentacles of water were waiting from him to grab a hold of, to finish with him landing on his own WHITE FORCE-FIELD because he had completely covered the base of the pyramid with his technique.Meanwhile, because of how fast everything happened, Peter was still prematurely grinning when all of a sudden, after Michael had landed on the base of the pyramid now completely covered by his WHITE FORCE-FIELD, he heard a very loud clap and then saw a vertical fast approaching black blade which went as high as almost reaching the ceiling of the West Monument Bank hurdling towards him.("WHAT!") Peter's feeling of accomplishment was cut short when he saw this, raising his eyes to see the top of the BLADE OF BLACK FORCE-FIELD and how imposing it look, making all the instinct in his body to scream for a flight response. But, the moment he felt that sense of retr
"..." Roman remained silent as he stared at the three boys whose preemptive decision to stand out from the others in their level had done what it was meant to in the eyes of their target, Roman King himself. He further went on to scroll his eyes through the crowd, seeing each of the trainees there who were now behind Ryder and his teammates, and also seeing the determination they all wore as a response to Ryder's action. Meanwhile, where the Emerged trainees stood, Nathaniel was the one who remained in control so as to be of more help when it came to understanding the situation. Although the messy haired boy who's having a serious slouch with two personalities could still understand situations he's in when in his offensive form (having Saber take over), there's a slight drawback because he doesn't understand as effectively as when Nathaniel is in control. Being Saber puts more focus of his bodily resources into combat and protection than when it's the other w
Roman finished explaining his and the higher ups reasons for not letting this level of trainees, both Emerged and Enhanced, from joining the multiple teams who were on their way to the field as they speak. Which fell perfectly in line with what Nathaniel had hypothesized and although he was in his own way, happy about being right, the muscle headed second personality he had was a little bit disappointed he doesn't get to fight potentially strong opponents in a fight that really counts because going out to the field would basically mean life or death.Saber's feelings towards the decision of disapproval was very contradictory to his supposed self given purpose of protecting Nathaniel from danger but being a consciousness which thinks and acts for himself too, it was within his right to be selfish just this once.No matter the initial feeling of disappointment all the trainees felt, with some experiencing said emotion more than others, many were a bit relieve
"Hey!" Lucille instinctively waved back before realising it, only to moments later shake her head and pull her hand back down with a scowl on her face. "Hey? Is that all you have to say after what happened?" she started to wear a look of guilt while Adam couldn't be any clearer as to what she was going on about. "How are you? I don't know what response I should be giving to you right now because I have no idea what getting all fussy about" Adam said bluntly as he crossed his arms in the Holo image. "I'm talking about what happened to you and the others because of me that day... I heard that you were the most affected because of how close you and I were and had to get a more intense medical checkup than all the others..." Lucille spoke without taking any breaks mid sentence to catch her breath. 'Oh, I didn't know she has been thinking this much about what happened during the training exercise. Sometimes I forget that even though t
"I asked one of the Agents to relay the information to you on where you all should be heading towards to converge and he should the there right about now to hand over the— Oh, there he is now" Roman said while one of the GHA Agents who had stepped into the perimeter of footage that was being shown on the Holo image passed on to Adam a display board.On being handed to Adam, the display board switched on and a message was shown on it to Adam and few of the other trainees in his level who were close enough to see what the message was. Those few other trainees were amongst the best ranking in that level and also all members of Adam's own team. Together they made up a team of four."Got it?" Roman asked"Got it Sir, we'll be right there!" Adam said then handed the display board back to the Agent who walked out of the footage and then out of the area while Adam turned around to face all the trainees he had behind him in his level to pass on th
Right now, deep inside the High Court courtroom of the Jurisdiction district in Metro City, everyone who was watching both in-court and live through their televisions at home or at different viewing centers (which also included the huge display screens mounted on buildings all around Haven) were all filled with anticipation as they couldn't help but be at the edge of their seats, both literally and figuratively. *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* "That's enough noise coming from the seats, so if everyone would mind keeping the silence please. It would be much appreciated as we proceed with the case" Commanded Judge Junior Vestaleon after banging on the table three consecutive times to grab everyone's attention from the current mix of confusion and chaos happening in both the spectator seating, jury box and the attorney's table. Only a certain amount of people present in the court room today and then a few higher officials watching from somewhere else but still
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
