After they had been dismissed from being the support crew for Daniel Druid, two of the officers amongst the crew walked off in the same direction and met up with three other officers who were playing a card game in a particular room close to the helipad but were having money as a stake for who won or lost.
"If you continue like this all your months salary will be gone... I feel like I had to advice you on that but don't stop because of me" Said one of the officers who was standing and watching the card game the other two were playing as the only audience before the two other officers walked inside the room."Oh, you two are back... And what about Agent Stan? I thought you guys were together" asked the officer who was already in the room standing and had been the only audience to the card game. He also placed his bets and whoever between the two that would come out as the winner of each round either and if they won he also wins a bet or loses his bet if they lost."You're the little girl from back then aren't you?" Michael spoke softly in his slightly robotic sounding voice and although vague in his response, Angel's expression changed drastically. She was over elated, coming to the conclusion that Michael did indeed know who she was instead of questioning if he was mistaking her for some other kid. There wasn't enough information in what he said to for specifics.However, the happy looking teenage girl was spot on with that assumption because Michael did know exactly who she was. Not just from the information he got about her from her files but also from memory, his memory. Yesterday wasn't the first day that the both of them were meeting and the time before wasn't somewhere in the facility.Their introduction was made year ago, moments before the Event that caused all the Arc Agents abilities to exponentiate drastically and causing the death of one of them, Jason Bloom. This exponentiated power made them to have an even
"Great, another one" the coarse voice instructor mumbled to himself, keeping his distance from the microphone as he fell his back into the body of the chair he was seating on before giving an exasperated sigh. He didn't particularly dislike the members of the Arc Agents or the enhanced and emerged trainees alike as people. What he didn't like was the fact that they were too powerful when compared to normal humans and if things were to change in the wrong way, he could one day be at their mercy.He was in a way contradicting his manner of reasoning by being the one who trains the Enhanced and Emerged trainees, is what someone else might think but in fact it was the contrary. As someone who likes to be in control of things which is why he doesn't like people possessing abilities that automatically puts the playing field in their favour, to him, being the one to decide what types of training they undergo was as much control as he could possibly have which was an okay compens
"Common senior, I'm trying here..." Daniel, feigning the posture of feeling dejected threw his arms down, carrying his body along in the sluggish motion and making sure that his face was out of view from Michael, however, still slightly visible to the trainees behind who had the eyesight sufficient enough to capture the smirk he had on. However, they wondered what was going on."Or would you prefer it if I was to call you Junior? Huh Valestein Junior?" Daniel raised his body back up."What are you doing here Daniel?" Michael asked, remaining unfazed and sounding apathetic towards the silver hair man."SCOFF... You're no fun at all Senior... Well, whatever—""Why are you here Da—?""Yeah yeah, fine. I heard you the first time, gosh!! No need trying to make my ears bleed with your insistent questioning and that ANNOYING robotic voice of your have going on... Speaking of robotic voices, I thought they would have gone about fixing that i
"OH MY GOSH!! This is getting even more boring than I could have ever expected and for me to even say that really means a lot" Daniel rolled his eyes, moving his head back and faced the trainees for a moment before rolling his neck and looking at Michael beside him."Let's just get on with it, Senior" he said, then turned again to the trainees "F*ck anything this man has to say and here's your real instructions... All of you, attack this man..." Daniel said then started away from everyone, heading to the two-way mirror wall by the side of the room, zooming off and finally making it there instantly.There he rested on the mirror, obstructing the view of the Agent who was watching the training from the other side of it which then forced the Agent to grumble at first but since he was not having any other choices, adjusted to the side to continue viewing through yet again.Daniel who was quite comfortable with where he currently was, being able to see every
Although it seemed that Michael had a variety of options of which course of action in terms of defense to go through with before deciding and then going ahead with it, to him that was the contrary. If he wanted, he could take down Ryder and stop Zack in one fell swoop with enough power that the two boys could end up dying from it. Just like what Daniel meant when he told the trainees to fight with all their might.Michael could also defend himself without using his powers as well because his base level stats were already beyond the most capable human as well which would be a bit lesser than what Ryder was capable of pulling of but if he did that it would come off that he wasn't even trying. This could cause the trainees to question their self esteem in the process so he was also sure that he wasn't going to do that.He needed to find the balance between the two extremes and with that in mind, having a lot of time to think about it with how fast his perception of
"One, two, three, four... One, two, three, four..." Daniel sang in accordance to how the battle was going, with every action anyone a part of the fight was making also matching to the pace and rhythm he was doing while at the same time waving his extended index finger in the direction of everyone like a musical maestro.He would do that in a tepid manner then take his other hand and yawn very quickly, obstructing his count of some numbers before continuing again from "one". Sometimes he would even look to the side, completely and willfully missing out on some scenes of the fight and that was fair from his point of view.Both Daniel, Michael and the other GHA Arc Agents have all been in some of the most intense type of battles which any other sets of persons in the entire world would imagine to be something that could only happen in movies and other works of fiction so to Daniel, who was a bit narcissistic, the only enjoyment he was getting out of this was seeing
"I guess we can relax a bit and watch some more interesting fights... I was so worried about having to fight yesterday that I didn't enjoy that dope fight at all but now that I'm not fighting anymore I can and this for sure will be an even more interesting one to watch" said one of the trainees in the Intellect class who was seating somewhere close to the wall."I know right, it's like you can read my mind kid" said a voice beside the seating Intellect class trainee with a more deeper tone."Hehe, yeah right, I wish I could have a power like tha—" the seating Intellect class trainee said then paused abruptly mid sentence when he turned to the direction of who had just spoken to him and saw Daniel crunched there beside him with eyes pasted on the area with Michael, Angel, Jewe, Saberl and Samuel all standing.The four Emerged trainees had taken a break to strategize on their plan of action seeing how they haven't been able to get the drop on Michael, eve
"Ahsh!" Angel grimaced with gritted teeth as the pain she was feeling shot up instantly the moment she noticed it and remained at the same intensity while from way behind her, she could hear the other enhanced trainees all murmuring about something in particular that she could hear about. Saber and Samuel who Michael had both knocked down so that he could get to Angel in time to stop Daniel but failed to had both gotten back up and slowly met up with her, each with worried looks."I don't think those healing chambers can fix something like that" Samuel mumbled to Saber beside him."What's everyone going on about?" Angel asked with tired breaths as she felt herself getting light-headed with every passing second. The pain in her right hand continued, especially at the forarm area, very close to her elbow and as it got too much to bare she pushed her left hand towards the hurting area, trying to press it and maybe reduce the pain in the process but when she did that
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
