SIDE STORY: MARKO & TERESA – BEFORE THE AWAKENING

Marko, a young boy at the age of thirteen, was known for his unyielding spirit and hardworking nature. His father had died when Marko was just a toddler, leaving Teresa to raise him alone. Their original home destroyed by terrors forcing them to leave as refugees.

Marko's eyes squinted open weakly. His head felt as if it had come fresh out of the oven. "That, ow! I feel weird. Ted you there? Quint? Echo? Nari? Mr Valtor?" The room looked strange, white at all sides but he could tell he was in an infirmary. Well that was obvious. He could see a black door with a silver handle, there was a big window with white curtains drawn allowing the flow of very little air current into the room. Marko could see that he was alone so he let his head rest back on the soft pillow and dissolved in the warm comfort that came with it. A white blanket covered up his body, underneath he was wearing a white patients wear consisting of a light shirt and pants. They never had such implements back at the v

Marko raised his hand before his eyes to see a long scar running down his arm from his palm down.It was the arm that dealt the finishing blow on the high rank terror known as he doctor. He never wished to face something like that again."I guess I went overboard huh?""Sorry I made you worry."[...?][I CARRY NO OBJECTIVE TO HELP YOU EMOTIONALLY][MY PRIMARY PURPOSE IS TO 'ERADICATE ALL TERRORS'][SINCE OUR GOALS ARE IN ALIGNMENT, THIS SITUATION SHOULD BE HIGHLY FAVOURABLE][SINCE OUR GOALS ARE IN ALIGNMENT, THIS SITUATION SHOULD BE HIGHLY FAVOURABLE]Marko smiled.

Whether my assumptions are true or not I don't know but Valtor Rose did seem quite interested in you. Like you were some special guy, he told us to tell you this.'AS MY NUMBER ONE STUDENT DONT SLACK OFF ON YOUR FORCE CONTROL". Some might say he thought of you as a successor." Marko's eyes beamed wide. "And where is he now?" She laughed loudly. "Hahahaha, you really are dedicated to the cause worm. Valtor left a week ago to deal with the urgent rise of terrors in the far region. No one has heard a peep from him since then." "Oh?" Marko sounded disheartened. "What about number zero? He is in the school right?" "The search is still ongoing, even now we still have yet to identify the mutant within the academy. We suspect it has blended well with our society for it to go unnoticed even with our investigation but aside from team five

Marko was not fully positive about the new development or his current state but the system seemed to be bonding with him. Could it be a good or bad thing, that he could no discern at the moment only that he would have to keep trying to understand his powers. There was also the case as to why Valtor took all the glory for slaying the high rank terror. Marko was not one keen to glory but he suspected Valtor did it for his own good and to draw attention from him. [IT IS MY DUTY TO SECURE YOUR SAFETY AND ANALYZE POTENTIAL THREATS] An idea popped into his head. "Do you think you can find the mutant with your scanning thingy?" [YES!

Marko raised an eye and stared at her. "Hmm? Whatever it is, I'll hear it." Selena looked at him and sighed heavily. "I am not being selfish about this but I wand you to pay close attention to this." "Huh?" Marko huffed. "What is it?" Selena swallowed down hard before saying. "The light festival is coming up in a week's time, I am so happy you woke up before then. Around this time is when we assure the people of the schools reputation and the power of the gifteds." "There is a tournament that we usually have around this time and the only people allowed to participate are those who have been on team extermination assignments, that is the only qualification.

"You are off to see the old geezer, I'll walk ya there." Ted said as he led the way. Most of the walk was quiet with none of them uttering a word. The hall seemed even longer than usual. Marko was a bit surprised to find Ted taking him down routes even he did not know off. He thought that perhaps Ted was a regular at the headmaster's. Marko sighed. "Ted..." "Don't bring it up." Ted said under his breath. Marko continued, having not heard him. "It really means a lot to have you by my side. That was I won't feel lonely anymore." Ted raised and eyebrow but refused to look his way. "When did you get it?" "Huh?" Marko almost had not heard him from him speaking in a normal tone. "Get it?" "Don't play dumb, your gift when did you get it?" Ted asked again with a little hint of anger. Mar

    CHAPTER 44: MEETING WITH HEADMASTER HAVADR Perhaps some of you have wondered what it means to have a purpose in life. What is my standing, what is the gift I have to share within me to the world. And not realizing that gift, our purpose and giving in to the darkness is what we call a terror. Failure, loss and hopelessness. The world operates round these two concepts but there are those caught in the middle those with no definite side and these are called anomalies... "You wanted to see me sir?" Marko asked the old man with long grey hair before him. The headmaster of the gifted academy wore his usual silver robe with gold lines and the crest of the academy on his chest. Seeing Headmaster Havadr Damocles again sent him jitters, his gold eyes scanning him with calmness and an indepth sense. "Please sit." He gestured to the chair before him. "Thank you sir." Marko said as he sat down. "System, what is his level?" [COMPUTING DATA] "Mr Riv

Mach was a ratio of the speed of an object to the speed of sound in the medium which the object travels. It was usually used to describe a supersonic speeds; the Mach number. BOOM!! "ACCCCKK!!" Marko felt his body shatter as a huge hole appeared in his chest next to his heart. "AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" The Headmaster frowned at him. "What a sorry sight. After all the praises Valtor gave you, like you were some big thing in this world. I actually wanted to believe it." Marko dropped to the ground with blood gushing out of his chest in great quantity. "He missed my heart on purpose, dammit it hurts. He's stronger than the high rank, I can't use the power of the limitless eyes or my lifespan will get cut. But I have to make a gamble." The headmaster kept his distance and prepared another ball on his hand. This time I will aim fo
