Having scaled through the first obstacle, it was time he went on to the next one and this time he wasn't going to go at it unprepared as he did the first. That was because, just by appearing where he did he was caught off guard and needed to get to safety before anything else so he spent the entire time on the defensive. Now, ready to go again, he reach into the holster in his trainee uniform, the upgraded one meant for in field operations, and bought out a stun gun.
The gun was jet black in color with the tip of the nozzle glowing a blue colour. The ammo it shoots out isn't electricity but a type of blue plasma that only affects biological material. This gun has three different settings which is depicted by how the plasma fired is. The weakest setting being a white coloured plasma that causes it's target to be disoriented, nauseous and lose their balance. It was the safest setting The second setting was a sky blue coloured plasma that knoThe trainee had no other choice at the moment but to raise his hands in surrender when pointed at with the guns. And because these were all citizens of his country, which was one of the reasons he got his enhancement, in order to protect them, he couldn't hurt them and there were so many there who all had live weapons that the chances of him escaping unscathed proved very low.He had initially thought that he could bank of them not being good shots to really hurt him if he tried to escape and use his powers to their fullest, but seeing how the all had guns close to them in their various rooms, and were in a district best known for the number of hunters in it, the probability of them being bad shots suddenly became very low to him."Look, I don't think you guys know what's going on here or why you're pointing your guns at me but I suggest we all gently take them down and try to come to a mutual understanding" He said but there wasn't a shred of willingness i
While walking up the steps the red haired and bearded man would effortlessly pat his shoulder with the edge of his massive weapon, following the rhythm of his favourite lullaby which he used to listen to as a baby. This particular lullaby was created specifically for him by the person who took care of him as a child.*Clank*There was a low sounding clanking noise when his partner hit him on the stomach with her hand. This partner of his was a woman who a full feet shorter than he was and in the terms of body build, she wasn't looking very muscular but only well toned in the right places.From how her suit and body complemented each other, you could tell that her fighting style was going to be more about speed and flexibility over anything else while the muscle bound partner of her's was all about strength and overpowering his opponent. However, this wasn't to say that she couldn't pull of feats of strength too because it was their combined eff
While Malkome and Mirajh were both on the second floor and making their way up, Adam contemplated on what course of action he was going to take. He was smart enough to know what his limitations as one with enhanced abilities were, evaluating them against what he perceived his soon to be opponents would be capable to doing and deep down he doubted if he could be able to go toe to toe with the big fellow amongst the two approaching and end up coming out victorious, let alone the two of them together. Mirajh was also a figure of concern here because in terms of size she was the smallest amongst the three and unlike her towering partner, there was no ounce of bloodlust observable from her. She had absolute control over how she reacted to her environment and unlike her partner whose intentions were obvious, they both seemed to be two ends of the same spectrum, complementing one another in that aspect. Malkome's weapon of choice was clearly visible with how clunky
Even though he was considered as being super human, the only most super human thing about him aside from his enhanced senses was his strength and his body structure enhanced to assist in physically straining tasks such as having heavy impacts with things. This was due to the fact that his bones and skin were more tougher than the regular person, so that he could accomplish all the things he had been able to do so far. If his bones were normal then he would shatter his hands when he hits something as hard as he could. However, that isn't to say that his frame was sturdy enough to easily jump off a three story building and land on the ground without suffering some damage. If he does jump straight down then, although he would survive the fall, which can't be said for any regular human alive, he stood the chance of spraining his ankle or in the worse case for someone like him, getting a fracture. Some of the reasons Nathaniel called the enhanced traine
Because he was on the third and final floor and was outside the last room in the passage, he was very close to the wall of the building. *STEP* He quickly went over to the wall and gave it a couple knocks with his ear gently pressed against it, trying to listen to the sound it makes. The wall was made out of cement blocks and rubber concrete and from the response he got he concluded that they had no rod reinforcements in them. Now on obtaining this knowledge, Adam quickly knew what he was going to do next. If going through the only exit of the building meant potential doom for him then the only other option he had was going to be making an exit for himself in a location that would give him a really good chance at survival. With that in mind, Adam quickly took a step back, pulled his stun gun from it's holster and changed the setting to both increase it's intensity and it's blast radius, aimed at a section of the wall and then he fire
The staircase was at the middle of the passage and by standing at the top of it, Malkome and Mirajh were approximately a couple tens of meters away from Adam and that distance wasn't enough for him to accomplish what he wanted by completing the Arc. With a massive grin on his face Malkome spoke "What ya tink you're doing boy-a" Adam sensed when they made it to the their floor but he hadn't made any moves until now. He quickly turned only his head when he heard Malkome's voice to see the two standing by the staircase while Malkome took his massive weapon from his shoulder and held on to it tightly, stretching it and looking like he was soon about to attack which put Adam on the defensive a bit, however, that was just a bluff as Malkome put it right back on his shoulder once again and kept it there, grinning. After seeing that Malkome was just toying with him, in a moment of decisiveness Adam focused on one side of the Arc, clasped his t
Over at the other side of the passage, right by the staircase, Malkome was being pulled in by their passive aggressive conversion while Mirajh was more cautious, wondering why Adam had been moving, acting and speaking the way he currently is. To her he sounded like someone using speech to pull attention from something else because just from looks alone he didn't seem like the one who spoke unnecessarily. With her mind gone in that route already she began thinking if he was planning something when she finally noticed that his right hand was closed and moving ever so slightly unlike his left and it had been closed and moving in such a way ever since he got up and even while dusting off it still remained like that. "Oh you stopped coming? I tot you had someting you wanted to say to my face, so what happened little b—" Malkome said attempting to take a step forward but was cut off by Mirajh when she suddenly chimed in a concern of hers. "What's
Once Adam slammed into the Arc the first sound that was heard was the cracking and breaking noise of the rest of the wall coming from the right side of the Arc which went from where Adam had stopped creating the Arc due to Malkome and Mirajh's interference to the bottom of the passage, completing the arc. Next were the two sides of the now completed Arc joining together at the middle and the wall gained liberation from the rest of the building. having received Adam's forward momentum to be pushed off and fall down the outside of the building and giving Adam the chance of escape he had been looking for. However... "KYA!!" metres behind Malkome screamed and following his scream was a high speed and pitched FWOOSHING sound which evolved instantaneously from the top of the staircase and was heading towards Adam who had just jumped forward and slammed into the wall Arc. The moment Adam pivoted around to started sprinting for the wall Arc, both Malkome
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
