Nothing else struck my attention until reached the major road and the time was already over 11pm about some minutes to 12pm and finding a cab at that time was really difficult but I had anticipated that scenerio and called for a cab on my phone and ten minutes after I got to the major road my driver pulled to a stop in front of me.
Since I made the call in the restricted zone I routed the call to being made from somewhere close to the major road so as not to set up alarms as even call locations and everything else was being monitored
I got in then we headed home and the entire ride home I rested my head on the left passenger's seat window looking out and sometimes falling asleep and waking up on a different street but we kept moving.
I lived in district V in Jade city which was one of the few remaining cities in Haven without a restricted zone and the restricted zone I was just in, the one with my bunker was that of the
On the map the restricted zones due to being under quarantine where highlighted red while the accessible areas where of normal colouring and even though there were less restricted zones compared to what I had known the fact that they were different from what I remembered was a discomforting sightApart from the restricted zones in red and the accessible zones in normal satellite view colours on the map there were also a third segmentation in black or rather a darker and almost shadowy colour on the map which was labeled Decimated/Renewal zones."What the— What does this mean?" I had my forehead scrunched up as I peered into my screenI pinched the screen to zoom out and get a better view as I was previously looking at a fraction of all the states in the United States and mostly at the states around HavenHowever there was the same thing happening all around the US."What the?" I held my head in conf
The smell from the meat, the colourful nature of the source which was more than what I had had in the past or what I remembered from my other previous hotdogs my previous timeline, the spiciness of the source and finally the sweet aroma from the onions on top which was like sealing with a bow on a present."Can I really?" I asked wide eyed"Of course... I had a feeling you'll like one but would be too reserved to ask so I got it for you instead"Just then I flashed back to the driver walking out of the car and heading somewhere which I had thought would be the park toilet.I brought out the hotdog from the tinfoil and the heat of the meat being trapped inside had warmed and softened up the bun which felt great against my palm as I raised it up and took a bite"Damn!" I almost felt a tear drop the more I chewed and felt shockwaves surround my entire body.Yes, it was that delicious
During the time of removing my Dot Log Chip sixteen years ago I wasn't as weary of the GHA as I am now and infact they really helped me a lot while growing up with the scholarship and the rest... The reason was because for some weird reason the chip just stopped documenting my actions.Mine was different from how the chips would stop recording when certain situations arise that changes the brain chemistry of the bearer and lacking in some fundamental operations the chip would stop recording. Mine just didn't pick up my brain information to make a recordReason being that my mind suddenly went through like a growth spurt and because of that became too complex for what my Dot Log Chip could handleI would always get called in to check what was wrong which always comes with multitude of tests and after getting tired of the whole process I just decided to make a fake ME that the Log chip could record from and since I didn't need the chi
Boyo got up from his seat and walked out of his cubicle to meet up with Monday and once done he extended his hand out for a handshake "Thank you for recognizing my skill Sir and I hope to be of the best service to you... So what can I help with— I can do anything you want" His excitement couldn't help but pour out, excitement which could have be mistaken as desperation."!!" Monday left his hand unattended but gave an oppressive smile back before he finally spoke "I'm glad to hear that and to know that we are on the same page... This way if you don't mind, what I need your help with is upstairs so please follow me!" He moved his head at the direction of the stairsThey both started walking in the direction of the stairs with Boyo walking behind Monday but before Boyo could take more than two steps forward I stood up"Hey! Boyo!" I called his attention"What?" He suspended walking with Monday and moved closer to wher
*Spin*The Holo image was still spinning under Monday's hand and even after he went on the take his hand closer to his body and pushed it and the generated image towards Boyo which left his hand then stopped spinning and flew face flat until on getting close to Boyo it expanded and opened up like a display screen with some keypads on the structure"Woah!" Boyo exclaimed pushing his body backwards a bit as the transparent but green framed edge and font image magnified directly in front of his face"What is this?"This was Boyo's first time see time seeing a Typograph Holo Image of my making meant for the GHA's and of course my use which also meant that it hadn't been made for public usage yet and there were two of them floating around in front of him by his two sides"How is this possible?" He wondered with wide and fluttering eyes"Since you both are so close I thought t
*Scroll*He scanned through the entire code from the beginning to the end then after a minute of thinking he smiled and began to write *Tap* *Tap* *Click*This sudden and quick work forced Monday's two partners to jolt out of their seats while Monday sat down looking calm and collected as he had already been expecting that course of action from Boyo"Good isn't he?" Monday said to the hearing of his partners as a means to boast while they both looked at him clean in the face then took their attention back to Boyo as he typed away..Because once aware of what to do this scripting process didn't take as long as the Triple Hel Codex and within twenty minutes Boyo was done thanks again to the assist keypad he was writing with."Done!" Boyo uttered then leaned back as he sighed in relief and the Holo Image in front of him dissolved again but this time the one in front of Monday and his comp
I halted "Oh Mrs Florence, good evening... How are you" I spoke and she smiled*Slap*She slapped me on the shoulder playfully "How many times am I going to tell you Sammy, stop calling me 'Mrs' I haven't been that since my husband died two years ago, may his perfect soul rest with the good Lord" she did an air cross on her body with her index and middle fingers pressed together moving from her forehead to her chest then to her left shoulder and finally ending the cross shape on her right Shoulder.*MTCH*After she finished the air cross she was doing she ended with a kiss on her folded hand and her eyes being closed as part of the ritual.Two years ago last month; 5th May 2057, Mrs Florence got a knock on her door by one of the Department of Social Health workers which is a sub division of the GHA.They came to inform her that her husband was in a district which had just been
The page opened and I started to glance through its contents. *SCROLL*There I got to see that apart from the war that took place there was also another major change that occured and that other major event that was so different from my original timeline was the location of the first Pyrex 9 outbreak and the time it occured.Originally it had occured in Kingdom State Emir in the year 2054 and because that was the first location of the GHA Headquarters my suspicion was raised which now had gotten me to the point I'm currently in but now it occured two years earlier in Roseland.Roseland which was amongst the top five most influential states in the United States because of the class of individuals who live there, politicians, Nobles, Business moguls and the other influential people in the US and in front of it was of course the three Kingdom StatesThere were only three Kingdom States in the United States 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
