The way the half time events were set up with the absence of influence from the Brawlers when it came to using the bid to decide if a fighter gets to use a weapon cheat or not became possible when a unique action was set
Unique in the sense that unlike a normal SCRIMMAGE Arena event when if a fighter in low volume says and calls for a particular weapon it is up to their opponent and the opposing brawler to decide if they do get to use that weapon through the bidding system and since the bidding system doesn't exist in the half time event what happens is that if a fighter wanted to stop his opponent from using a weapon it had to be done by force
What this means is that on the fighters call for a particular weapon his opponent would have to decipher what that weapon of choice is and then call for that exact same weapon if he wanted to stop the other from us
The moment I called out for the AREA AUGMENTATION WEAPON of my choice TOP SPINNER in low volume a second passed before anything happened giving Selverin The Strong the time he needed to decipher my weapon choice and call it out as well but strmage enough he didn't care for that and wanted to use that time to get closer to me insteadHe took a couple more steps in and got within a metre from me before the one second time passed and my weapon activated when all of a sudden grooves and four footholds were made on the floor with the grooves being scattered at different locations on the ring and the footholds were made under both our feet locking them in place and pulling the two of us apart from one another while the ring spun at an increasing paceThe one second was given so that after deciphering by lip reading my weapon of choice which he was in the right
"WHAT WAS THAT?!" The Showman shouted at the top of his voice while the audience screamed the SCRIMMAGE celebratory chant of ""SCREAMING AGE""" as they went wild not expecting to see a display like that with all the delays they've had to endure"WHAT IN THE WORLD WAS THAT?! I've never seen such a use of the approved weapons like I just did... Is this the true capacity of the winner of our previous event Selverin The Strong and had he been hiding all these skills until now? If this true then why? This is nothing short of mind blowing!" The Showman continuedUp above in the glass shielded commentary room Gary Heystins and Paul Stainceley added their own voices to the bamboozled experience them, the Showman and everyone else were feeling within them right now"Haha, I wasn't expecting any of that Paul... H
Up on the SCRIMMAGE Arena ring"Woah!" I tried moving forward but almost fell as my anchor to Selverin The Strong who was firmly holding the handle of the PERSONNEL BOOST WEAPON LOCK WHIP refused to waver even a little bit"Hmmm!" I tried forcing the wrapped length of the black whip around me away but the material it was made with was too strong and durable to even budge much plus the way my arms were positioned when the whip tied around my body prevented me from supplying enough energy to the pushing force"I guess I'm trapped... What now? Looks like it's the end of the fight for me and I didn't get to find out if Warden Faller and the grumpy officer's suspicions were true" I mumbled then turned my head to smile at my opponent hinting my surrender be he wasn't able to see much of it
Seating together on the rows of the SCRIMMAGE Arena Warden Max Faller had started to get a worried look on his face but he didn't let it damper his concrete smile too much"Hey guys, what'd you think is going on with the Shrimpster, he doesn't look too good" Said Big Billy while rolling his head and body slightly to look at the people seated behind him/"From the signs I think he's on the first stage of the actualized nanites self destruct sequence and very soon the aura of red, green and purple light and steam will be on its way and there's nothing that can stop that"\ said Echo with his hand gestures while once again Lupri interpreted for the not so attuned Big Billy and also to Juu who wasn't facing them"That wouldn't be nice to watch Warden Faller... I don't want to see my baby boy get
*RIGHT* *BAM* *LEFT* *BAM*Selverin The Strong went on another full assault against my face without holding back any punches both literally and figuratively and all I could feel was BAM BAM BAM and fists hammering on my face while both his fists and my face started to become really bloody and messyMeanwhile the heat from the nanites actualized self destruct sequence would keep me from passing out once moreJust then the Rainbow Phenomenon started to evolve with the nanites finding any way possible of releasing it's stored radioactive rays of energy but the more the red, green and purple lights gleened on my face so did Selverin The Strong continue with his punchesBecause there was so much energy being released due to the actualized
Meanwhile, I was just lying on the floor with my entire body feeling very hot but I could manage and I could feel the wounds on my face healing faster than they have done the past few times before but the difference wasn't that much to say two times or even one and a half times faster but it was fasterI would continue to have flashes of those obscene memories which I didn't know if they were real or not while in the distance I could hear the chanting of SCREAMING AGE all around me but in actuality nobody was saying anything and the sounds were also muffled a bit. It was just my imaginationIn the depth of the noise, muffled sounds and random glimpse of memories the only thing of clarity was the Showman uttering random words to everyone. Words which would force a memory to stay in place unlike the previous quick display and disappearance and from all it seemed
Sorry it took a while to get a new chapter and it seemed like I was no longer continuing with the story but that was the case and now we're back with full writing forceThe Arc which just concluded last month was the SCRIMMAGE Arc hence the constant usage of the word and as could be noticed was surrounded around Charlie Boyle our main character's best friend and his journey in WORLD ISLAND after getting caught for hacking into the GHA mainframe and failingBecause we wanted the whole situation and what he as going through from his unknown past as you could clearly identify was filled with mystery then coming to light and his current predicament with SCRIMMAGE Arena events being thrown into battle first thing out the gate and then the ending part were his instincts took over once more.We wanted everythi
*RIIIIIINNNNNNGG*The continuous wailing of my alarm clock a couple centimeters off to the stomach faced down body on the bed left of me. The entire room was covered with its echoes but I was chained in a deep sleep that nothing was able to come through my auditory sensesI was lost in a dream with the same subject as the last time, the day before being a young female roughly the same age as myself or so it seemed because I couldn't clearly make out her imageAll could be made out was the jet black colour of her hair and her deep blue coloured eyes when she turned with hair flowing behind her figure. There was only the image of her head to chest which included a quarter of her full bodied breasts and were joined at the shoulder by half of her arm ending at the ekbow while the remaining blend
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
