Almost two hours later we stopped. The rain had gotten so heavy that we had to slow our drive home and it was still pouring hard when I got to my building. With no umbrella and just King's jacket with me as rain protection I got out and rushed into the building but regardless of my haste I still got drenched.
I went up uninterrupted, no Mrs Florence or my other neighbors in sight, because of the rain they were all in their rooms keeping themselves warm I thought at least.
I made it up, had a hot shower, ate dinner and went back into the living room
Earlier in the morning before reaching work I had called Doris who ran The Saint Patrice Restaurant to bring home something for me to eat through her home delivery service and because it was something I frequently did she already had a spare key her delivery personnel who was her niece uses to gain access to my room to drop the food off.
Also as a fa
"Where is that?"The name and location of the prison was highlighted and zoomed in for clearer view, Metro City jurisdiction district{So what are you going to do with this information Mr. Samuels?}I scrolled down even more "Hmm..... When is his court hearing date?"{Two weeks from now, on a Saturday} The date was automatically displayed and zoomed once more"Alright, since I can't take a day off work I will go see him on the weekend, Sylvia schedule everything for me and until further notice keep me synced with my Pseudo Brainwave Protocol... Oh and one more thing, just like with Boyo's how many copy series of my program has been made?" I stood up and was on my way to the room{Just about a dozen or so, give or take some more}"What type of lackluster answer is that?"{Well that isn't my fault, during my design phase I was fashioned with you
"Jucking? The f*ck is that supposed to... Oh, now I get it but what's this, Charlie too huh? *TSH* Ok!" I replied with a tone of indifference which later became distasteful and sceptical but still went on to connect the handshake"Nice to meet you and I hope we work well together as good cubicle neighbours""Yeah, that would be...something"*nod* She kept on smiling from ear to ear and refusing to let go of my hand"Fan girl huh... Well you can let go of my hand now miss Praise, I think the handshake has happened for long enough" I grimaced pressing my lips together which caused my cheeks to puff up"So cute and those dimples are to die for__ Oh! sorry, sorry, sorry about that... What am I doing... stupid, stupid, stupid" She quickly let go and turned around then started to reprimand herself with multiple head taps'She really is just a kid isn't she, well what would you expect from
"The Arc Agents? The hell is that supposed to be? Can't you get any images or something?" I asked scrolling on the Holo Image{That's the best I could manage to dig out, you know that even during our other attempts we weren't able to get much information about the Pyrex 9 virus from their mainframe not because we couldn't hack into it but because for some reason they store their digital information elsewhere which isn't accessible through networks and need physical access... The same applies here}*TSK*"I guess I get your point and I knew that but this is still frustrating"{Alright, here is the next part of the information... Apart from the GHA Arc Agents there are other agents lodged in the classified section of their database and all I could get was the number which ranges to two hundred but seeing as how classified their identity and specifics are while the normal GHA Agents aren't that stands to questions, jus
*SCOFF*I lowered my head the smiled in a dissatisfied manner "Beyond human... Your logic system must be shot, I guess this new timeline has really affected you apart from giving you a physical body and I'll have to look into it later" I then walked over to sit on the couch *SIGH* with elbow resting on the counter"Apart from the GHA related secrets what else is different in this new timeline I created?" I stretched my arms out a bit followed by a yawn{Alright, understood... I was about to get to that... The second alternate information I've gotten access to is on the Lightening Gate located by the rift}"Oh? That too was affected? So tell me, what about it?" I said then again Sylvia popped up images on the designated subject of discussion, The Lightening Gate or The Tesla Tunnel as it's also called in front of me, showing the two different variations of the bigger and more advanced looking version from the new tim
{Which protocol would that be?} she looked at me"What was the name again...Hmm"{Don't do that... you have perfect memory}"Alright, The Body Rhythm Protocol!" I smiled harder causing my two cheeks to puff out and went on the explain{The Body Rhythm Protocol?}"So the way it works is that on activation you'll send out a certain frequency and then record the echo you get back and how the body it was shot into reacted to it, from that you can get a person's age, gender, height, temperature, walking style and you can even see what the person looks like facially without actually needed to see them with your eyes... If fine perfectly this can really help the blind and now that I think about it I wonder why didn't the GHA do this but instead they kept it for themselves as Divia"{Sounds like a really nice protocol to have but maybe they saw the potential negative side of it and decides

Standing in the middle of the room with a armrest-less and backrest-less long stool behind me, Mr Jade Monday and two other of his associates sitting next to him in a side by side position and all behind a long desk with a grin worn on the face of the man in the middle, my boss and the one who called me into the room announcing that he needed my help with an urgent issue and needed to test me first while his associates looked shocked,confused and isolatedHow did the test go from being in my favour to this, having two GHA officers by my side as I put up a struggle for my freedom and defenceMy phone had been seized, being blocked on both fronts with my path to freedom which is the door behind me completely shut but that isn't what is wrong here, with me, with what they did to meA sting was felt around my neck and moments later light shone around my eyes almost covering my vision of Mr Monday who at this point has seemed to be my en
*tap* *tap* *tap*The short passenger seat GHA officer rigorously Pat his partner on the shoulder as he checked on him in the drooling state that he was"Dude, what's wrong with you? You look kind of insane right now""__Huh?" The driving GHA IT officer scrolled his head slowly to the right to look at his partner while having a blank expression and dead fish eyes and a slightly opened mouth which leaked saliva"Umm... tsh... tsh... *gulp* tsh... Oh!" he mumbled before finally getting himself "What's going on... Why's your hands on me, get them off right now!" He fussed until his partner pushed himself back and remained in a surrendered position with both hands up"Dude! What is your problem?! I was just trying to be of help and this is the thanks I get? You really are trouble" He glared at his partner with contempt with a little bit of fear mixed in*snort*"W
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
