She gave him a spinning kick and Maks rammed her into the water. She was drenched. She felt her the dampness behind her mask, it was turning soggy. "Well played."

"Would you settle down and listen to me?"

"No, you're lying, you just wanna use me like the rest of the awakeners. That's what he said...I'm glad his eyes are open to the real world."

She rammed him into a portal. He shouted coming out of another and she turned to punch him. He groaned and she rushed to shove him down to a puddle in the ground.

"Ah!"

She yawned when he fell through two portals parallel to each other. Up and down, up and down. Maks flew out of the loop when he was fed up and he leaped over her.

He stayed airborne. Out of her reach.

"Coward!" She said although her eyes were constricted. He noticed when he flew her away from Ares reach to speak to her.

"He's keeping you in the dark. If Ares's eyes were open then he wouldn't keep you away from the world. He would let you explore it for yourself."

"Gah! Do you t

    Sentinel felt two claws on her shoulders. She screamed when a bat man hissed swooping up with her. "PROVIDENCE." It said in a gravelly voice. She kicked out and gazed fearfully at the rooftops. She couldn't let it let her drop but she couldn't let it take her away either. She struggled."Claws off." She blew up in flames and it screeched blowing up in flames too.She dropped from the sky and screamed. Maks saw her plumetting and a bat man grabbed him. They surrounded him until he shrugged them off. "Sentinel!"She tumbled in the sky and her eyes stung with tears. She jump-started her fists with fire. "Come on, a confidence boost is all you need." Maks tried to reach her and her fists and legs blew up in flames. She glided towards a tank and landed on the body. She gasped holding on to the sides. Her dark hair drifted in the wind and she gazed down at the rooftops and other houses. She could have gone splat in a matter of minutes. "Oh god.""Can you come down?" "No thanks, I'll

    Maks paused, was he being too hard on Rex? He put that to the back of his mind and he checked on his suit. A burned black imprint was on his chest like an emblem."Don't worry, we can replace that. You sure you don't want to be wired?" Artemis asked holding her box. "Whatever, I appreciate that you're letting me handle this.""I appreciate how things are coming together so smoothly. Just don't get carried away. She's your enemy, don't go all out on her until the time's right.""Yeah. That." He said tugging his collar."I trust you, Maks, don't fail me."She hugged him quickly and left.Maks left and he met with Sentinel sitting on a boulder overlooking a grass field.The stars were out and they went to battle monsters. Grass spirits that didn't take to being stomped on.Maks went out for weeks on end and he expected a beatdown but Sentinel was more interested with monsters. He kept absorbing their powers and they sat back."How do you keep up with you know? Ares."She frowned. "I do

    He scoffed moving away from her. "How did this all start? Tell me.""My father Eric Johnstone, an archeologist always went to work, he left me at home and the time he made that video of me with Kujo was the last time he really paid attention to me. He went to work looking for something and my mother tormented me emotionally. She blamed me for things I couldn't even control, that I was the reason why dad neglected her. I was six years old, I was in the middle of it all, I didn't know anything. My mother abused me, I ran away before she got physical.I was in the neighbourhood out at night all alone. Some guys were looking to take advantage of me and there was a man in the shadows. He hurt them before my very eyes and he helped me. He promised that I wouldn't go back to my old life. He trained me and I only got better. I promised that I wouldn't be that clingy little girl anymore.""That's sweet and all but you can't trust him.""The man who took me under his wing. Is that the person

    She turned when his shadow enlarged over them. "Ares, you son of a bitch.""Don't talk to me in that language." He turned his silver devil ring."How dare you talk to me that way after what you've done? You lied to me.""You don't understand." Ares said."No, I really do. I'm not a child anymore. You're a criminal, you locked him up without fair trial and I want to know why." She pulled out her sword."It's getting worse. Stay away from these two. They're a liability.""No, you are! Maks helped me open my eyes. Why were you keeping me, why!?""I'm doing this to protect you." He said with difficulty."You can't even say it with a straight face. It's over, the jig is up.""This is for your own good. They can't be in the same room together.""Shut up!" She said swinging her sword and Ares tried to kill Maks who took up the gorilla aura and he rammed him into the bars.Eric was frantic. "Don't hurt her, please! She's coming...don't!" He clutched his head and he cried out in an unholy voic

    Artemis landed the helicopter safely on the helipad. "Didn't know you could fly a helicopter, mot." Darragh said on his headache."You didn't ask. We have to find Maks.""Bullocks." He said. "Supposed you coulda parked properly."...Harley tried to use her portal powers. They completely backfired. She groaned. "Don't try so hard." Eric said sipping tea. Maks was awfully quiet. All he wanted was more security but now he just let lose who may have been the smartest villain he had ever faced. "I led you to Ares's dungeon. I thought Pan was a good person." It was obvious he had poor judgement when it came to who people are."There were two sides to the story.""The funny part was that she never actually lied to me. I was intrigued by that. I appreciate honesty."He didn't know if he was still deluded. But deep down he did respect Pandora."Ares may have been mad but he was not stupid. He was keeping the peace." Eric said."Two vessels cannot meet. Else the journey will be complete.

    Artemis frowned, he was willing to look the other way for her unless Ares came after him, then he would do what was necessary. It didn't matter, Maks was an individual outside The Syndicate and he had a right to choose. ..."The Greatest Son of Man must fall to Save All." Maks said."Ares is likely the most powerful son of man.""Ares's father was mortal, he said his mother was a god. But he gained his god-level powers by working." She said."That doesn't make any sense. Why would he level up when he's already a god? Wouldn't that make him a demigod?""I don't know.""We can ask Ares ourselves." Maks said."Are you serious? The Syndicate wants his head. He's the only hope humanity has now that Pandora is free." She said to him."He must fall which means he has to be taken in."Maks said.She was keeping him in where might be the most horrendous place in the world to keep him from staying in prison. Harley had to be one of the most inconsiderate persons in the planet and she couldn't s

    "My mother is Gemma Meyers...a mortal."They frowned at Darragh and Harley."And My father is Christopher Meyers, also a mortal. I died years ago because my wife and son plotted to get rid of me. I knew Pandora just when we were just students, we trained together. Pandora plotted to make the world safer FOR monsters. The humans were a menace to her but I thought the monsters were menaces as well. We saw things differently and I wanted them gone. They weren't as many as before.""So what caused the monster population to deplete? Besides our efforts.""Pandora and I go way back as partners. We had our differences and we battled. She was not as powerful as me though.I died and a deity named Fei Long gave me another chance."Maks's eyes paled."To end Pandora's reign. I was reborn a god. She is my mother. I grew thirsty for vengeance and killed my wife and son. I realised that I had committed a grave mistake. She didn't know my weakness, so she took advantage of me by turning my wife an

    Maks rushed away from danger. He picked up speed and took a car. "He's escaping!" An assassin said and Harley glanced at Maks running away from them. He stopped and the awakeners shook their heads at him. Artemis's eyes tilted."You want me to lead you?" Their eyes were trained on him in wait."Yeah?" He psyched himself up and he trodded back. "Why would Fei do such a thing?" He cleaned his ear. "Okay, so we're going after Pan, right?"One of them coughed. "We're gonna call up the rest of the assassins. First we spy on the monsters and see if they have a pattern. If so, they report back to us and then we close in on their main flanks.The rest of the team with more firepower will open attacks on them. We're going to disorient Pandora for a while so she thinks we're declaring a war. She'll be too busy dealing with the strongest ones.We'll sneak in through a loophole on their blindspot and we...hit Pan as hard as we can.""Sounds like a plan but if we fail?""I don't know but

    He shuddered. Those men didn't deserve to live, he clutched his pillow. The day after that was the time he started to realize that he could see dead people. These people were crooks, they sold him to a factory disguised as an orphanage home. Teagan's breathing was heavy at the women asking for his name. He had a hard time communicating, he didn't want to. They shaped him up by beating him. The worst he had was being covered with a sack if he mishbehaved and the tap running over his face until he gave in. He always had a hard time following routines. He lived with an abusive foster father named Randall Barton, his wife Alice and their adopted children, he trusted him to his word. He took care of him gradually until he started to get violent. He even employed the children to beat him up. He asked what was the point of adopting him. Unfortunately all he was good for was being a punching bag. The only good thing he learned was English. His imaginary friends translated and taught him to s

    Teagan looked anxious, he slouched walking through the gates. The workers grimaced at him and BlackJack picked up speed. He ran to the house and he paled when he met Ares. "Where have you been!?" Keisha said."I just went for a walk." Teagan said twirling his hand on his leash."I know you went to...You're not allowed to step outside. Running away was completely stupid." Keisha said aware now and he blushed at Harley. "Yeah, I know, I just needed some fresh air. I'm alive aren't I?" He barked defensively. He was acting weird. He bloomed walking away faster. He couldn't handle criticism. He marched upstairs and the room was as dirty as it was before. He was repulsed. "You didn't clean yet?" He said to Keisha who relaxed on the couch.She dropped her magazine. "I'm sorry I said all those mean things about you.""We're cool. Just as long as long as you don't keep any weapons. No more pranks, not more antics." She said. "Clean this up.""Where are all the ghost workers?""They're on a

    "Not that one, Chief. I was born in Nigeria, West Africa. The Igbos, a major ethnic group currently were looking for independence to become The Biafrans after the British colonialists united the tripod stands of the country, the east, north and the western region.The colonizers left eventually after the independence in 1960. There was a blockade and My father Festus Ebube Okoye who identified as a Biafran and my mother Catherine Nneoma Okoye starved along with the rest of our people. He was passionate about seperating from Nigeria. The Biafrans lost the war against the Nigerians ultimately and there was no secession. My father was wounded inside and out. We had to move here to save our hides. My father had a score with Ares to settle. They worked together in the past. He owed him his life and he wanted some kind of reward for aiding him."So Ares supports this kinds of stuff?""Yeah. He wanted him to "give him what rightfully belonged to him". His loyalty. My siblings were just 9,7,6

    "N_no no, I'll show you." Teagan tossed BlackJack's dented log at the glass doubledoors and it shattered to pieces.Irma's jaw dropped. "You broke it, is something wrong with you?" She glanced at a broom by the door perking up and moving in a sweeping motion to gather up the glass. Irma glanced at Teagan who looked shocked. His expression changed. "See?""As dumb as that demonstration was, it's brilliant.""Really?...I mean yes. I'm more genius than any of you give me credit for." He gazed at his fingernails."You can hear them.""Yes." He said smiling proudly. "Okay then, what's he saying?" She asked and he blushed. Maybe she thought the ghost standing there was just a coincidence.Irma winced at the inappropriate words. "@#$¥ *&?@@@####. Why are you helping you f#cking bitch?""Okay, that's enough." She said alarmed. "It's a kid named Oscar...he's 19. Died trying to pull a stunt on a dirtbike and drowned in the pond.""Get inside, Teagan, you've caused enough trouble." Keisha f

    Over the days, Teagan moved around the house, he cursed at the workers and vandalized things, Ares didn't show the slightest interest or whether to kick him out. He was perplexed. Harley, Irma and Keisha were in their final year and they were going to college. And parties. He was left home alone with BlackJack whom he was afraid of. BlackJack was trying to approach him and he ducked throwing pillows at him.BlackJack grabbed a pillow chasing after him. He ran away past the halls and cried out when BlackJack placed his paw on his chest. "Stop." Ares said to him and he vanished. Teagan gazed at him through glassy eyes. Ares vanished too.... Ares was not even giving Irma a hard time as Keisha claimed to. He didn't trust her to her words anyway. He taught her to kick box and she was getting tired of doing the same moves all the time. She meandered around a sandbag punching and kicking.Teagan watched them from a boulder with binoculars as she lunged backwards.Irma tried the s

    Teagan was afraid that she would shred them to pieces. Worst of all, Ares was coming home to meet him. He didn't like the looks of him. His aura made him feel things and see things he didn't want to see, yet he was easily drawn to the past, he relived it everyday in his head. That was why he wanted to stay as far away from Ares as possible.He lived with assassins too. Irma arrived with Harley in the house of Ares. Irma ducked at the box drifting over her head. "What are those?""Ghost workers, they agreed to work for Ares in death." "Until after death you mean?""They won't be leaving anytime soon, they can keep working for him if they want.""Oh my god. What if some of them try to kill him or you?""They won't. They have a contract." Harley said.Irma shook her head as they explored the house. "So this is where you live?" "Yes and No, I live with my dad, Eric. I just come here for visits.""So how is he?"Harley turned sad, he suffered 10 years of tragedy but the tragedy wasn't

    "Will you come lie next to me?" He said.He groaned she laid back too hard. "Scooch." She could hear the fluids in his lungs while he was breathing. The place was so quiet. She would rather be anywhere else talking to a person than being her with her thoughts, but he was sick."I can feel the gurgling too, that's disgusting and don't even try to kiss me with that virus." She was content.He was feeling feverish and tried to make conversation. "My head hurts...""Mmm.""I'm sure letting you stay in bed with me is probably against hospital policy.""You're such a bad boy." She said sarcastically.They were together now and she did not want to infringe on their pact. "Can I use my phone?""That's fine, it gets boring in the hospital anyway." He said fatigued and he had a sense of Deja vu. "Please don't take pictures of me like this, I look sick."She typed. "It's fine. I just need it for my secret album. What do you think about #Marley?" She flooded the space with many heart emojis."Tha

    "You need to stop playing games.""Really, you wanna talk game? You were trying to make me jealous with Irma." His eyebrows rose. "I wasn't.""What was that look. Really? When we were at that night club, you were staring at her. Like really staring."Irma exhaled. "Oh my god, you guys." She muttered rolling her eyes. "Yeah because we had a duet. I was nervous and I tend to look at people dead in the eye when that happens_Maybe I was jealous when you started feeding Dom orange slices.""Only because he was making rude advances. I had to protect myself.""You left me on the street after date night.""Yeah, you were having car trouble and I was trying to be friendly and to save money." She whispered. "You could have just said you were angry instead of shutting me out.""Oh." He said, he was unreasonable when it came to love and the reason why he strangely felt short was because she was still on heels. "I was wrong to have made you think that Dom and I could actually be a thing. But you

Alberto spat on the floor. "Now, what is going on? You get off him.""Sorry, Tio, he locked Horacio up again and now he's harra_""What's going on?" Dom rose up. "She's been spending all my money on this useless son of a bitch." He yelled at Harley. "You won't even let me touch you!"Harley's eyes glistened at the name-calling. "Last time I checked, we were friends, not lovers."They were laughing at Dom. He just ratted himself out. She played him for a fool now."I do not care.
