"What in the world are you talking about? What plan exactly?" Jeremiah asked Jericho as the both of them walked together to the training area
They had just finished being educated about the history of the United States a couple centuries beyond The Great Selection which was in contrast to that of the Soviet Alliance and were now starting with a new physical training which involved sparing with their bonded partner and also the usage of weapons or a weapon to be precise
The exercise involved each of the bonded partners of two taking turns on who gets to use the weapon in which this case was a plastic dagger which could deliver cuts on someone if used against them and also stab them deeply if also used for that specific purpose except it wouldn't be as deep as a real steel dagger would
They have bee
"Woah, how'd you do that?!" Jeremiah was amazed at the feat he just watched happen right in front of him and so did everyone else who were all having impressed looks adorned on their prepubescent faces"Hey, that was some impressive move" said one of the other child agent in training"I know right, can you do that?""No I can't but I can try,... Maybe... What about you, can you do it since you like asking questions?""Not even in a dream will I ever want to do try that"Ever since the child agents in training were a lot younger and before the concept of bond partnership ever came to play they were all looking like drones who obeyed any order given to them and didn't say anything bu
"So what do you have to say for yourself now... Franklin?" Victorph spoke smugly while they were still having the twelve members board meeting and Conroy had just exposed the inconsistent nature of the new High Ranking Hypnosis Initiative Franklin Crow had just introduced as well as brought the questionable nature of the Mirror Initiative to light further taking it down the impression the other board members had of it regarding its probation"Now now Victorph, it's no use making fun of the man" The other man who was in alliance with both Conroy and Victorph as the three sat down together spoke as a taunt aimed at Franklin CrowAs the two men seemed to have it for Franklin Crow, Conroy on the other hand was disappointed as he being exposed to his wrong doings with what Franklin Crow had said about patriotism over personal grudges earlier was now actually one of the people who wanted to see this new High Ranking Hypnosis Initiative and the Mirror Initiative do well all f
The meeting finally came to a close as the board members got up and all stepped out one after the other in an organized fashion. The first amongst those who got up were Victorph and the last ally in the trio who both have dissatisfied looks aimed at Conroy as they walked around the glowing ring like tableNo matter the frown Victorph had while walking away from Conroy the moment he got to Franklin Crow at the other side and the thought of having been able to put a wrench in his plans made Victorph to instantly wear a grin before chuckling and stepping out as the doors slid open from the middle and to the opposite sides like how an elevator door does"Sorry I couldn't be of help Franklin" Said Carolyn as she placed one hand on the man's shoulder while getting up and then joining the other board members who were already up and were exiting as well"Crow" Said the board member who was at the last spot while leaving therefore leaving only Franklin Crow and Conroy wh
"Looks like it's my turn" Jeremiah said as he extended his hand outward waiting on Jericho to pass him the plastic dagger which he did but he still held on to it and refused to let go until he had gotten what he wanted to pass on to Jeremiah out for him to hear"I'm sorry what?! You want me to what?" Jeremiah exclaimed as Jericho let go of the plastic dagger and backed up a little creating a good amount of distance between the both of themJericho had done this because they didn't have the time to be chatting about this before carrying out with the sparing training and he needed him to do something for him before the training was over so that would have to be communicated as they went along which didn't give enough time for a straight forward explanation*WAVE*Jericho gestured for Jeremiah to come at him which the older boy after looking dumbfounded for a short amount of time smirked as he accepted the challenge and clenched the leather wrapped handle of
The training room happen to seem both somber and chaotic at the same time as the child agents in training all looked calm while watching at what was happening and it was the adult officials there who were rushing to the bleeding boys aidThere were two especially who went to get a stretcher and placed it next to the bleeding Jericho before picking him up and placing him on it and then taking him to the infirmery while one of said officials who were all stationed in the room grabbed Jeremiah by the shoulder and abrasively pulled him making him to do a rushed one-eighty to face the man"What is wrong with you kid, were you trying to kill him on purpose?" said the angry looking official who was unknowingly squeezing hard on Jeremiah's shoulder*FLINCH*Jeremiah on the other hand couldn't handle the weight of the hand of someone twice his height and build let alone the force he was using to press his shoulder with before flinching while his shoulder depressed
"The scissors!" Said the doctor in charge of getting Jericho fixed with an extended hand pointed slightly backwards and wasn't looking but expected the assistant to get and place what he asked for on his open palm"Now boy, don't you move" said the Doctor after the scissors had been handed to him and he went on using it to rip Jericho's training uniform off his body from the bottom upwards and while doing that he remembered what happen only a few minutes ago when they brought the bleeding boy rushing into the room after seeing the way Jericho was groaning and moving on the bed(Don't give him any anesthetic!) The words which came flying out of Franklin Crow's mouth the moment he and his younger associate walked in through the doors behind the officers carrying the stretcher(Excuse me but what?!) The doctor exclaimed because he didn't quite understand what Franklin Crow had meant because from what he was hearing it meant that he should work on a prepubescent fiv
"Wait wait wait... They imprint on basically anyone who shows them a little bit of interest?" Officer Bearl pressed his fingers against his eyes before sighing "But I've basically only interacted with him twice in the space of a year""And what did you do during those times?""Well the first I relayed and ordered him to break his fellow trainee's elbow who so happens to now be his bonded partner and the one who most likely was taken to your quarters and the second was when I interrogated him about it and why he injured him that badly in the first place so I don't see how those can transform into adoration and in essence him imprinting on me" Officer Bearl looked fatigued"Okay, strange things to do with a child but maybe he's the twisted and masochistic type who actually likes things like that, did you think about it in that way or maybe he's just following you because I made this whole imprinting thing on the spot just to mess with you a bit and he just wants t
The day started just as every other day in the Boyle family residence usually does except for the fact that today which was a day that comes once a year every year they would be celebrating Charlie's birthday as he was turing five years old.Just like how every birthday cycle starts the day would have the ambience of every other normal day untill after breakfast was had and then it would change a couple hours after that when the festive decorations gets employed and the other children as well as their parents come to join.They spent hours celebrating amongst themselves and then the birthday cake was brought in for Charlie to do the cutting of itSoon after they would take rounds of pictures with the celebrant leaving the last set between the family having the celebration at which by the last picture Roe and Reyleen would both kiss Charlie on the cheek, an image which would be seen by Jericho when Charlie sees his and hi
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
