The sun shone down on its full splendor, illuminating the large mansion with its shine while making its walls and surrounding environment sparkle with a light golden sheen.
After Clark got the mission from General Vincent, he immediately put his now enormous influence into play by issuing a region-wide search for the thief. With the silent help of the General, his decree quickly came into effect across South Sparta.
Despite the enormous mobilization of the regions’ intelligence agencies, this thief still proved to be extremely elusive, proving the General’s words that he was probably a spoiled brat from a high-grade country.
To show contempt for the search methods being utilized against him, he struck again thrice during the last week.
What really pissed off Clark was that this brat targeted him specifically, as 2 of those theft attacks were aimed at Vatican City.
The first one was the next day immediately after he issued the decree, wh
On the way back as Clark escorted his friends to their various destinations, he finally decided to tell them one of the less sensitive plans in his stashed blueprint of missions.“Guys, before we part again, I want to inform you all that I’ll likely go to the exobeast training base of the Spartan army. I intend to go there, to see if I can find the right catalyst to induce my next breakthrough”.“If any one of you intend to come with me, you can just indicate, I’ll generously pay for your registration and work it out”.“I’m a nice friend, right?” He winked at his friends, who grew dazed after hearing what he just heard.“What the f*ck? We are still stuck at the 1st rank, and you in the 2nd rank are still not satisfied, you still want to hit the next bottleneck. Training maniac, you’re a real freaking training bastard”.Though they felt like punching their friend to reset his co
Everyone was so focused on what their Major was handing over to his follower, that they all failed to think about the repercussions of when an all-purpose emp device was activated.What brought them more surprise and questions, was that how did their Major know that someone was hiding within their midst.Their expressions changed from surprised to shocked, then to disgraced and humiliated, when the small figure of this mischievous thief who gave them so much trouble was finally unrivaled due to his failing and fluctuating armor system.The youth in question was also surprised, as a horrified expression quickly overtook his face on seeing so many eyes suddenly turn to focus on him.“The scenario was not supposed to be like this!!”Unlike what was expected of a now notoriously infamous thief, he was a handsome boy with blonde hair tied to form a manly bun like those of the ancient attacking footballer, Erling Haaland.Despite havin
Broom!! Clark’s gloved hands shook to the vibration of the enhanced military power bike, as it advanced crazily like a bull on steroids. His armor already covered his face, so the fierce wind pressure did not affect him.As he drove in deeper, outside light quickly got cut off away, as the darkness of the underground slowly took over. Only the faint electricity light illuminated the walls and the surrounding.Seeing that his pursuer was still determined to go after him, the thief said nothing and just squeezed more power output from his crazy bike.2 figures blew across the underground passage like the raging wind, leaving afterimages and scattered dust behind which quickly merged with the wind on appearing.With their current speed, the fast and furious squad led by Toretto in the ancient action movie looked just like children’s stuff.Noticing that despite his speed, his opponent was still a little faster, Clark finally took the level
After Clark got back home to his mansion, he responded mildly to the cheerful greetings of his workers as he went directly to his room and plopped down on his bed.It was already late, so he had nothing to do outside again. He laid on his bed while looking at his ceiling, as he tried without much success to organize his random thoughts.Despite him knowing that it was a fluke and wanting to get over it, he could not. His thoughts could not help but go back to what just happened.He knew that him taking a defeat so personally was childish, but he just could not get over it. It was a common military mission to bust a thief, but he was now feeling that it was a personal challenge.After finally sorting out his thoughts, he was surprised as after going through his experiences, he discovered that this was his first personal setback against a same ranked soldier.He didn’t know why, but he felt emotionally defeated for a reason. This defeat made hi
For the first time since Clark got his mansion, he sneaked out of the large building without informing any of his workers. He was only able to do this because his keen personal assistant was not around. After successfully getting out of the mansion, he picked up his military bag that lay on the floor before trudging down the street road. “Good morning”. The people who passed him greeted him with cheerful faces, despite not knowing him. He responded to their greeting with a smile also, before he continued walking down the road. Not long later, he finally came before the subway where a line of public transport vehicles was already lined up. After
Clark’s anger at the death of so many innocent Vatican citizens pushed him to the limit, granting him boundless endurance as he pursued every single terrorist that came for the attack to the ends of the town, not letting any one of them escape.Blood and gore followed him everywhere he went, as the now leaderless and hapless terrorists could hardly put up any resistance to his massacre. His enraged self was unstoppable.Due to his actions, this modest town at the corner of Vatican City became a town laced with blood and dead bodies of terrorists.He never felt exhausted once as he hunted the terrorists, the overflowing anger fueled him and granted him mysterious endless stamina to go round the village without any signs of fatigue.Boom!! His 2-form gun in its sniper configuration emitted smoke from its muzzle, as through his implant he confirmed the kill of the last terrorist who came for the attack.It took him 32 minutes, and 20 seconds to
At the border of Vatican City that was closest to the shallow waters of the Mediterranean Sea, a large battalion of soldiers gathered together with various degrees of stern expression on their faces.They formed a perfect unit whose uniform’s color revealed their identities as soldiers of the Dragon military division.Despite the current raging battle between the other Vatican soldiers and the terrorists, they stayed behind, as the military wanted to use them as the ace of the battle.The Persian tigers' organization made such a big move this time, 4 towns of the City were directly attacked simultaneously.The death count of innocent civilians alone was already in the thousands after the last count, and it was still progressively counting.The terrorists swarmed across the 3 interconnected towns, spreading their soldiers across like the tentacles of an old hermit octopus. Their attack was well organized and extremely aggressive.Blood
After dispatching the terrorist soldiers, Clark did not tarry as this was just one among many of the big halls in the large logistics ship. He led the soldiers from the Dragon military division, before storming deeper into the ship.As they moved forward, the ship started shaking and vibrating as the aftermath of the battle outside started impacting it, rocking it left and right with the help of the sea waves.Outside the ship was now even more chaotic as gunshots flew about, forming a loud cacophony of incomprehensible noise. Melee soldiers rushed at their opponents, after being transported closer through the military speed boats.In less than 5 minutes since the Vatican Major arrived, to the terrorist’s dismay, the center point of the battlefield already shifted directly to the position of their logistics ships.Death and chaos reigned over their battlefield, as a terrorist and soldier died every second. Though the death rate of the terrorists was
6 months ago, the sky turned red which according to world leaders signified the start of the war that would decide the fate of humanity.2 months prior, the news was finally publicized, spreading worldwide panic but with all the most powerful world leaders working together, the panic was easily curbed and order was restored.According to the government, humanity was not hopeless, they had heroes in the form of their soldiers and elite soldiers.Not only that, humanity had a superhero, the great Elite Commander Clark Pendragon. After the special training started, a fuse seemed to have been switched on as the Spartan soldier experienced a period of rapid growth.With veteran Elite Commanders around to guide him and with every resource he needed available, he encountered no bottlenecks, he improved at a superhuman speed never recorded since the human race was born.In just 4 months, he broke through 2 times, going all the way to the Elite-grade rank.
A month later, in the Gen. Clark Pendragon Mansion.At the big balcony attached to the mansion, Clark stood, looking out into the distance as a lot of things went through his mind. The past one month has been the best in his life, and he was grateful for it.Despite it being the best in his life, as a 4th rank high-grade soldier now, his intuition told him that something was happening.As a high-grade soldier and mercenary, things happened everyday around him but he knew that this was not the normal happenings, his intuition told him that this was far higher than anything that he has encountered before.And after making connections from the recent happenings, from his famous marriage ceremony, to the big 5 jointly broadcasting it, a lot of other things and now the Spartan President personally calling for him, he confirmed his guess.Something big was happening, it was just that no one deemed it right to inform him about it yet. As a man
Vatican City Central Church, General Clark Street. This was the church where the big things were happening for today. Not only people from all over the Spartan republic, even esteemed guests from foreign high-grade countries came to grace this occasion. Today was the day of Vatican City hero’s marriage ceremony. After 22 years as a single, General Clark Pendragon was finally ready to tie the nut with his fiancée. The name of the street where the ceremony was commencing was given and commissioned a few days after Clark became a General. Some of the most esteemed guests attending the marriage ceremony were the legendary President of the Spartan republic, Leonidas, and the armor tycoon, the billionaire Mr. Calibri of the Dakran republic. These 2 people were such powerful and well-known personalities in their own rights that their attendance alone shot the attention being given to the marriage ceremony to the highest point. Not only that,
“Leonidas, you wish to attend?”Hearing that, the Spartan President sighed, exasperated. “If you were not my mentor, I would have probably fired you already. Cough…, sorry for that but I’m really going, what’s the big deal?”“You’re really asking me that right now? Of course, there’s a big deal. Apart from military burials, do you know the last time you have for social gatherings?”“I dunno, probably a decade or 2”.“No…, 4 decades! 4 whole decades! You get that?” The old man emphasized by waving his hands vigorously, showing 4 fingers at the powerful soldier.“Suddenly going to a social event after such a long time staying at home, what do you think will be people’s reaction. They may feel that something is happening, they may even panic”.“And just because he’s a 4th rank high-grade soldier does not change anythin
A day after the reunion with her family, Sonia took permission with her parents before going on the first official date with her boyfriend. It was a date, but they just wanted to spend more time together and close to each other. The few years apart was torment to them, now that they had the opportunity, they wanted to make up for it by all means. At first, staying together left them feeling awkward but they soon got over it and started reliving the feelings of a few years ago. For the destination for their first date, none of them planned for it as they were both individuals who have never interacted with the opposite sex in such fashions before now. As the only daughter of a famous billionaire, other billionaire sons already tried courting her in the past but she simply didn’t find them appealing enough, so she always ignored and avoided them. After just a day of staying with Clark, her brother, and her parents in her childhood home, she now
Among the 3 Pirate Gods in the Sahara, though none of them never publicly claimed the spot as the strongest, the Black Pirate God was the one most recognized by pirates as the strongest. After him was the powerful Red Goddess Pirate, then the Lilac Pirate God. Compared to the first 2, the Lilac Pirate God was on the more glaringly weaker side but he still had the strength to back his title. At this moment, in the Black God Pirate City, a surprising piece of news was being circulated. Pirate Queen Anamel was dead, and Pirate Queen Cobra was secretly a student of the Red Goddess. Not only that, the most shocking piece of news that took the city by storm was that of Pirate Queen Cobra’s intention to leave the Sahara and settle in normal human settlements outside. … “Is this news verified?” A deep voice asked with suppressed anger in an underground room with far better living conditions than most of the others out there in the desert. “Yes
Though they both wanted to just remain in each other’s embrace forever, Clark and Sonia knew that they were still in a pirate city and what it meant. With reluctance, they quickly left the city with Arthur.Even if they tried to cover it up, it was impossible so they didn’t bother. In minutes, the news of Pirate Queen Anamel’s death spread through the pirate city and beyond.For long, Clark has always been worried about his reaction when he finally saw Sonia again but he was surprised when he did. It was like they never separated; it was like they’ve lived through all these years together.15 minutes later, they got sufficiently far away into the desert from the pirate city so they finally had the time to speak things out.Sonia brought out the stolen pistol first, which Clark handed over to Arthur. After this, she finally started detailing her encounters after Clark asked.According to her, after the fierce battle on her fa
While Arthur asked the pirate, Clark already went to work as he closed his eyes to focus. As experienced soldiers, they already put a lot of contingencies in place during their tour around the pirate city.Even if they wanted to catch some fun, it was too unrealistic for them to just keep touring without setting anything in place.With his implant, Clark immediately accessed the hidden cameras that they placed around the city, most especially this bar. It didn’t take him long; he saw a hooded female going out through the bar’s back door.“Found our target”.While muttering to Arthur, Clark already turned to storm out of the bar. Arthur simply knocked the 2 pirates out before storming out also.In seconds, they were out of the bar’s main structure.…A few meters away from the bar, a hooded lady walked through the streets at a leisure pace as she kept a close but alert eye on her surroundings.<
The next day, Clark and Arthur woke up with the intention to remain patient while waiting for their informant to contact them. They didn’t even go into the pirate city, it was too disgusting for them to stay in it. The more Clark felt this way, the more he feared what his girlfriend may have become now. If just a day staying in it could make him this irritated, he just couldn’t imagine what staying here for 4 years could have done. Thinking of this, he felt guilty again. “Why didn’t I come earlier?” Souring his mood with such thoughts, the day moved extremely slowly to him. Perhaps, having noticed his current mood, Arthur didn’t disturb him and opted to go out hunting alone. When he came back, he had a desert antelope with him. Seeing the catch, Clark was left speechless. “Can we finish that?” Arthur wasn’t fazed by his question. “If we can’t finish it today, we’ll just finish it tomorrow or the next. Don’t worry, I have preservation gadgets with me, and besides, your girlfriend
