As the cage surrounded the unprepared Sotiras and Heroes, President Knox still kept that straight and dignified face, it only weakened a lot because of the weird and strange smile hanging and was plastered at his lips all the time since he first discussed about dominating the world together with everyone.
"You are really sick in the head Knox! I am going to kill you! Do you really think, ordinary citizen life is just a game? Our life and also yours is just a game, for you to decided so simply with a straight face what will be their future is?!" Gray was once again in a rage, even Marcus and lotus, the most silent out of the 20 ability users that had gathered inside the base to have meeting have spoken up, furiously and with an extreme rage on their voices that sounded and transmitted through all of the people ears present.
“President Knox, consider it some more. Are you really that heartless?” Marcus, the scarred guy said with a red eye.
If this will continue, his wife and children who was all ordinary citizen wil be one of the tools that will be used to give nutrients to the AI, that wil be coming and going to their world, occupying the little earth that humans have the highest right to own and defend.
Marcus after saying that, accidentally glanced at the customized watch that he wore tightly on his wrist, his eyes flash a cold light a little before it then disappear from his iris.
But his system as always who paid attention to his Host that was bonded to him the most caught that cold light that flash through his host eyes.
Marcus system was confused, as he was only an intelligent artificial system who can’t even turn into a form like an elder AI, he really doesn’t understand what is his host thinking right now, so he dived in to his Host sea of consciousness and appeared in Marcus head, talking in his usual mechanical voice but was now filled with curiosity to what his Host feeling right now and what was on his head, as he did not have the privileged of having to just see or hear what was his host was thinking as his Host, Marcus set himself a privacy so he can’t know much about his host way of thinking that drive him mad most of the time.
He was his host system! What is there to set a privacy for when his host can tell him anything and not kept a secret from him?
He was so dissatisfied already that he dived onto his host sea of consciousness to ask in his usual mechanical voice that sent shiver down to Marcus spine just after he look at his customized watch with cold eyes like there was something dead living inside of it.
Marcus was startled but still said its nothing and chatted about what he can do to escape from this cage, unscathed and unharmed as he know, judging by the quality of this age, it was really not normal for his eyes and he knows, it was also not normal for everyone that was caged inside this cage eyes as there was some faint of sparkles that came out whenever a Sotiras or heroes tried to reach out to touch the metal cage.
“Host! System is sorry for you now because your system can’t help you as this cage was specially customized by one of our elders, Elder Apella. This system does not know why my elder Apella made it in the headquarters a long time ago but I think it was really for all of you to be put through. This system, of your host really am sorry for being such a weak system that cant help its bonded host” Marcus system said in a low and particularly crying voice but it was so faint that Marcus thought he was hearing things because there was too much information that was given to his head to digest quickly as there was more information that will be transmitted again to his head with out delay.
A big pop up characters was seen when Marcus system data formed into something like a Morse code that was only used for a mission if there was something important that was about to be transmitted to the bonded Host.
Name: ???
System Number 00001145639
Ability: ????
Origin: Artificial Intelligent System (AIS or AI)
[Can only serve his Host with limited ability as he was only an inexperienced AI that was just launched not a long time ago to this earth by the system headquarters very own data’s]
Sure enough, this cage was customized by someone powerful than the rest of the members here than even if the Sotiras members will join force to get out of this cage that was customized specially and was made by the AI elder named Apella, it would really not work on the cage, he guess but he does not think it was true as he saw Kate faint and leisure smile while her unusually black eyes that carried stars in those irises shines as she watched the scene that was happening in front of her like it was some kind of entertainment and turning into a joke to and in her eyes.
It was really not like what she was doing earlier just to intervene to stop a real fight from happening between Sotiras and Sotiras.
It is really as expected from someone who was ranked 2nd in Sotiras high ranking ability users and was also considered the second leader after Cuzo.
Lotus also joined in, but her furry voice sounded not so angry to the people ears present, if it weren’t for the bad fragrance that she continued to emit as a way to let the people know her rage, anyone, present in the base might thought that this strict teacher in the background of heroes profile was acting spoiled and was being unreasonable.
Well, even though there was really no one who can really say she was making an unreasonable move as everyone knows who was making the unreasonable move between her or President Knox that the aura of greed in his eyes was too great that anyone with a weak heart had not dared to raise their eyes just to came into contact with that eyes.
It was creepy and really hard to bear for most of them as they were only ordinary research institutes with a smart brain but cowardly personality who can only be led in the nose even if they know it intentionally or unintentionally, unconsciously or consciously.
They can only deliberately let those heroes and Sotiras do whatever they wanted with them as they did not have the privileged or power to stop these naughty ability users that is considered to be a saviour of mankind and will be soon recognized as a rebel and traitor who turned their back at the same time to the humans who is by means and obviously, the same kind and of form of them, theirs, all of them, Sotiras and heroes who got ability but the only differences was one,
Heroes got their ability by the rain given by the red moon that suddenly appeared out of the blue in the dark and gloomy cloud of sky and two,
Sotiras already had their own ability just when they were born, not relying by the rain that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
This will always be the Sotiras and high ranking to small levelled Heroes hatred.
Sotiras hold grudges towards the heroes because they felt a shame just for thinking that they and the heroes have the same ability but relied on the rain which was really shameful just by thinking or even imagining and finding it haunt you towards your dream.
And heroes of course, hold grudges towards Sotiras becayse they think they were too arrogant just because they got the ability from when they were born doesn’t mean they were more powerful than them and the saviour of mankind,
“What about the younger generations, the students that was working hard every day, every time to strive to get awards and be one and part of heroes?
But President Knox did not even give them a single glance, as he ignored them like they were some sort of air but he was still cursing internally inside his chest, cursing himself or cursing the two promoted heroes for making an unreasonable trouble that for today’s meeting time had extended than he expected, 'Why did I promote them again?'
President Knox irritably thought as he inadvertly glanced at the two unreasonable heroes with eyes as sharp as a blade, well, not as sharp as the sword woman gaze though but the two Heroes who was deemed as 'unreasonable' Heroes in President Knox heart and mind and was already quickly engraved on it and will be difficult to make it go away.
President Knox stared at the Sotiras and high ranking heroes with a pair of eyes, greedy and ambitious, wishing to make the Sotiras and heroes present to quickly make a decision, right here or right now, if they won’t be able to quickly decide and choses what is right for them, President Knox really would do what he said earlier to them.
The means that can make this Sotiras and high ranking heroes to cooperate is use force at them to cooperate with them cooperatively.
"So do you want to join us now?" President Knox asked once again as he tilted his head, his eyes gleaming with extreme greed and ambitiousness as he looked at the Sotiras and heroes who was already in despair looking at the eyes he was holding that was shining with extreme gaze and superiority.
"No way!" was all the Sotiras and heroes response to this unbelievable question that was always repeated now, to who knows how many times it was repeated in just one day, today.
"You are so sick in the head Knox, go to the hospital!" Jus, the one that get to read everyone mind accidentally a while ago, and that includes this president mind and that selfish and coward head, had finally fallen and succumb to the darkness of his anger as his vision expanded and broke through the cage despite the impact of electricity that was inflicted unexpectedly out of the blue to his body.
"I am not sick” President Knox face distorted as he fell that his sea of consciousness was triggered and disordered when Jus vision hit his sea of consciousness causing for him to lessen his arrogance and tightly hold his head with a frown,, while shouting at the top of his lungs to the researchers who was also dumbfounded and was sent to being daze, in a silly way by Jus vision also affecting them as they were also close to where had President Knox stood.
They gasped and widened their eyes and secretly thought at the same time.
“What are you doing now dilly dallying, you morons! Let the cage electricity be switched to the highest level!” President Knox shouted once again when the staff did not even pay attention to what he said and just continued to gasped in a daze.
The researchers that was responsible for the electricity cage paled with fright as he stuttered and aid, “But Pre-sident Knox, it will really be dan-gerous for the Sotiras and heroes caged inside-“ the researcher responsible for the switch of the cage was cut off by President Knox irritable growl and express of rage.
“I don’t care! Do it right now or else, you be also put there! You choose immediately!” President Knox said irritably and shouted at the top of his lungs once again because as the hand that was holding his temples tightened even more when he felt the inside of his head hurting too much that it was simply too unbearable for him to handle it anymore longer than before he only felt a tingle and sudden pain in the corner of his brows.
A Sotiras that was ranked higher than President Knox is really not impossible to hurt them if the other one had tried hard hurt to hurt them.
It was also really a contrast of differences in rank of Sotiras as it would be displayed who was the most and have the strongest ability to cause a damage to one self.
Humiliation appeared at President Knox old face as his face was so distorted he can’t be recognized even more if someone that was familiar to him outside will see him now in this state of his because of the extreme greed he is reluctant to let go.
"Yes, you are" Jus retorted back at what President Knox said a while ago.
“Whatever, whether you all like to do it or not like to do it. You be cooperating with us to do this and execute this mission early on, if you continue to being a hindrance” President Knox flashed as he slowly said, word by word as if he wanted those words to engraved in this Sotiras and heroes mind.
“You be wipe out and no one, no one will ever know where your trace is to save you and justify you” evil laughter rang in the quiet and chaotic scene inside the base as those words that was uttered by President Knox echoed repeatedly inside the base.
Everyone was silent, but it was broken after some time by someone who came back early on his senses after he understand those words that was said in an evil tone and coming from the evil person they have ever meet in this world where they lived their whole lifetime devoting their life to the country and protecting the ordinary civilians who is helpless at the sight of the monsters crawling over their precious soil to take charge of the Earth.
"We will not!" Marcus, lotus and Gray said at the same time their response to President Knox distorted question yet again.
President Knox instead of being irritable like earlier press his temples even more and he felt something coming out from his butt so he did not pay attention to the Sotiras and heroes repeated rejection to his proposal as he was now busy about the changes of himself as time pass by he was being too evil that he doubt any one could handle his evil attitude anymore.
Jus smiled when he saw this and laughing thought while looking at president Knox figure, like looking at some joke, ‘What you smeared with all your heart earlier to yourself, will be later realized later on. I am just saying and congratulating you. President Knox, good luck” Jus delicate and peachy eyes curved at the mischievous thoughts that flash past through his head for a moment before it decided to leave in a flash, also yet again.
"Yeah we will not" Ada also joined in once again but then become silent as he look over at that little boy who was step by step going to leave with a cautious and scared face to the side where the little boy thinks, no one can find him.
Ada scoffs and became silent again.
What a softie this guy is.
"We don’t ask for your opinion though" President Knox finally stabilizes himself slightly but the growling stomach and heart-wrenching pain coming from his butt made him sweat but still dare not dared to show his weakness to the enemy.
"Knox, get your self treated immediately right away to the hospital. Your head is already flooded with water!"
President Knox smiled even more weirdly despite of it being strange because of the pain in his butt after hearing that, he sneered and said regretfully, "Save your breathe later as you will meet someone who can succesfullyy persuade you"
And with that, all the Sotiras and heroes, but not including Kate who was cooperating to be unconscious, was brought back to where who knows to who.

System Eye was very silent, not daring to make any noise to catch Gabriel unpleasant face once again.
But System Eye was too uncomfortable and wanted to turn himself into a mist to float as he misses it too much, but because he can’t be revealed at other system in his usual form when he was not attached to his bonded Host, System Eye simply give up with a silent sigh, his big eyes was listless as he closes his eyes and just uses his Host vision as a way for him to know what was happening outside.
But Gabriel had once again give him a hard stare after Gabriel opened the palm that system ‘Eye’ was in.
System ‘Eye’ give a wry smile when he saw his host like this, he really and badly wanted to cry but he knows he really does not have a privilege to stop his Host from saying anything more.
When Gabriel opened his lips to say something, system ‘Eye’ closes his eyes once again and took a deep breath before he gaze back at those dark eyes, with a determination inside his chest that could not be ignored at will.
System ‘Eye’ prepared himself to a deadly battle, where he, will be scolded so miserably once again after his omnipotent bonded host finishes on cleaning up the dirty palm where he was currently residing in.
Gabriel was slightly confuse but still continued to do and say what he wanted to say that was not said earlier because of thinking too much about the dirtiness of his palm to the system who came back after having his that crushes so miserably and came back only to feel a hated and disgust gaze thrown out to him.
Gabriel, even though was really cold and did not really have much feeling as his five senses was closed and sealed for a long time many years ago, he was still fond of his system who accompanied for a long time.
He was guilt as time pas by when he thought that he just looked at his system with disgust after his system had come back but it was not his usual style to apologize so he just opened his lips to say, almost expressionless while string at system ‘eye’ one eye back.
“Welcome back” Gabriel said I those hoarse and deep voice.
System ‘Eye’ wanted to cry immediately after hearing that but still held himself back with great difficulty and great power to hold on the tears that was about to come down once again.
Cuzo, Kuro and clone who was fed up unexpectedly by the two ability user and AI affection towards each other: ….
Cuzo: Where am i? Who am I? What am I doing here again?

Kate got cornered as her eyes, a little similar to Gabriele condense a little.Whirlpool after whir poll after inside her eyes as she prepared to turn time.She just wanted to fall unconscious deliberately and pretend but she does not know that she will really gone to sleep so she did not know what was happening and where did that old cow had put them through."You are all awake I see" a familiar voice rang in the isolated room despite of having too many people having gathered inside of it.Kate frowned at the familiar tone as she thought, 'The first ranking Sotiras, Cuzo and Elder Apella, is really one of the members of wanting to join Knox group to dominate the world?"Kate slightly let out a chuckle causing for the heroes who was quiet and thinking of heir despair silently inside their heads turned their heads and look at Kate at the same time with a pair of eyes, somewhat con

News broke out unexpectedly after the heavy rain fall from the gloomy clouds.The adults were not only startled but also began to feel strange as a long time pass by there was no miracle happening in their body, but the atmosphere was condensing to the point where they felt they could not properly breathe in.With the exception of today, that there will be no response by the Heroes and Sotiras to this call for help.Except for the Sotiras and Heroes who did not get locked up unexpectedly, that caught them off guard as they saw not even a single Sotiras and heroes reached out for help."Calling for S Level Heroes help. Calling for Sotiras help" the woman voice was a little trembling as she tightly held the microphone on her palm.Veins appearing at her hands as her cheeks that got a little bit of rosy foundation are pale as white as paper as the small mouth painted with red lipsti
Bailou City is destined to be doomed when no one came for their rescue tonight.They were abandoned or are they?The Heroes and even Sotiras who was locked up and can’t use 80% of their abilities just to get out of this fucking room whom the owner might have forgotten-or, the main lead who instigate this vicious plot to execute to begin with.Blood.There was blood everywhere.Every ground, every road is stained with blood.Broken bones, broken head, every little part of humans who had come across the path of the hungry monsters and failed to escape, and have been eaten and gone to the monsters belly.Quiet whispers can be heard under the tunnel, where most civilians who had gone out from their home to be poured down by the rain had taken shelter on.Now they know that the rain
Fast-forwarded, the little boy slightly blinked his eyes, making a clear look at the little girl standing in front of him.Kate tilted her head and stood up with her feet, her knees no longer bend unlike earlier when she crouched down to match the little boy height.Her hands got itchy when she saw the hair swaying cutely on top of the little boy head.Kate was never been one of a little girl who go against her wishes, so after the thought of wanting to touch the little boy head, her free hand in which does not hold anything that get in her way was used to touch the little boy head and smoothened it up.The boy eyes looked over once again at the little girl standing in front of him doing such unexpected events again and again when his origin was already announced by the little girl very own mouth in disbelief.He was in disbelief.How could he be not?

Kate blinked as she looks at the quiet little boy in front of her.The little head was lowered as if the owner was in deep thoughThe black eyes that Kate possessed right now, slightly glinted with lightBut to others, especially to ordinary civilians on the scene, they thought that the light that passes through Kate black eyes was a way for her to express her annoyance and irritationThey does not know where, but they think it was because of their noise.So they paled their faces and shifted courses, not making a slight sound to not further irritate this young girl who was clearly the hope of theirs.But it will be only broken if time was ticking as time pass by and the rescuers which in the civilian eyes that was already so scared they had already peed their pantsSure enough, one of the person that was squeeze to the side by the crowd
