~CRASH!!~ "Whoa!!!" Around half of the guys in the parlor exclaimed in surprise as Bayo fell and shattered the glass table to pieces. After the exclamation, silence descended in the room. 'What just happened?' 'Did he just punch him in the face?' Everyone had questions popping up in their minds as to why Bayo was sprawled across shattered glass and Tisane was standing over him seething in anger. "You bastard!!" Tisane's voice roared across the parlor. "See what you've done?!" Tisane's countenance and expression was totally different from his normal gentle nature which shocked everyone. "Tisane, what the hell man?" Ibrahim came forward to assist the staggering Bayo to his feet. Tisane was not a guy of many words. After glancing around the room and seeing the shocked eyes staring at him, he hissed in anger and walked away. ------------------------------------ "Hey Bayo, what just happened. Why did Tisane go berserk just now?" Tunde asked Bayo as they assisted to attend to
"Good evening sir" Tisane bowed in greeting. "Good evening my boy. Nice of you to accept my invitation" Mr Fadeyemi smiled as he sat down while staring at Tisane. 'I am standing before the one and only Mr Fadeyemi!' Tisane could feel his heart beat kick up a notch. Sensing his nervousness, Mr Fadeyemi gestured with his hands. "Be at ease boy. Have a seat, by the way what do you drink, scotch or wine?" "Am okay sir" Tisane quickly said. "Come on, you can't have a good conversation without a drink" Mr Fadeyemi cajoled. "O-okay sir, water would be fine" "Still trying to be modest are we?" Mr Fadeyemi shook his head as he gave the attendant the order. "So what do you think?" Mr Fadeyemi spread his arms. "Of what sir?" "Of this place" "Oh, it's magnificent and beautiful sir" "Exactly" Mr Fadeyemi stated. "Magnificence and beauty are all we should aim for. They are the sole rewards of our hard work and success" Tisane watched Mr Fadeyemi moved his arms in confident ge
"Welcome home sir" the Butler bowed in greeting as an aged man walked into the huge and spacious mansion. "Is my wife home yet?" the aged man asked immediately he took of his outer suit coat and sat down on the couch. "Not yet sir" the Butler answered. "Hmm" "Should I prepare your bath water sir?" "No, just some hot tea, coffee to be precise" the aged man replied. "Very well sir" After a few seconds... "Here's your coffee sir" "Thank you" As the Butler walked a few steps away, he halted and turned to face the aged man. Noticing the peculiar behavior of his butler, Mr Aliko raised his eyes. "What is it?" "You had a visitor sir" the Butler said mysteriously. "Really? What was the purpose of his visit?" "He didn't say sir. But he asked to give you this" The Butler removed a brown envelope from his jacket pocket and han
Mr Adeyanju stepped out of the car which had halted in front of the glamorous mansion. Hesitating for a while, he took a deep breath and straightened himself in the manner of someone preparing to face something tough and disconcerting. Before he walked into the mansion, he was greeted by two maidservants, a male and a female. "The chairman is expecting you sir" the both chorused together as they gestured for Mr Adeyanju to follow them. Nodding his head in resignation, he followed them behind as they directed him to a Hall on the third floor. Setting his eyes on the layout of the hall, he saw a huge long table surrounded by well polished mahogany chairs and seated at the head of the table was an aged man whom was reading a group of files. Recognizing whom this man was, Mr Adeyanju stiffened a bit as he felt his heartbeat become rapid. "Are you going to stand there or have your seat Mr Adeyanju?" The aged man asked without lifting his eyes from what he was reading. "Ye--yes si
"Mr Fadeyemi?" Mr Aliko raised his eyebrows. "Yes sir" Mr Adeyanju replied. **The NPLC is also onto this?** "That's interesting" Mr Aliko had a strange glint in his eyes. **Well then, what are the results of your investigation?** One of the holographic figures inquired. **Yeah, how do we get back the cube?** "Well, for starters, we know that captain James lives with his wife and two daughters in the state of Lagos" Mr Adeyanju cleared his throat before continuing. **So? How does that help us?** One of the holographic figures spoke impatiently. "Coincidentally, we came across a fortuitous anomaly" Mr Adeyanju stated. "Captain James actually has three children, that is, a son and two daughters. We discovered that his first and only son has problems with him and packed his things out of the house a year ago and is currently living on his own" **And so? Isn't that just normal family problems? I still don't see how that is going to help us** "Are you talking about bringing his
Tisane took a few more steps and stopped as he watched the creature move towards him using it's four limbs. Seeing the creature's funny looking appearance, Tisane couldn't help but smile as he squatted down. "Hey little guy, is this your planet?" ~Skrrr~ "Yeah, I don't speak alien. I mean up until now, I never really knew you guys existed, but here you are" Tisane was not really sure what he was doing or saying but with all the craziness that was around him, he would prefer; as the Americans would say 'to swing it' instead of losing his mind. ~Prakk!! ~ The sound of thunder went off in the distance. Glancing at the storm clouds which had suddenly appeared a great distance ahead, Tisane had a worried look on his face as a certain scary thought began to creep into his mind. He was just beginning to remember that he was stuck in a strange and unrecognizable world which made him to begin to shiver in fear. What if he was trapped in this strange world forever? Even if this wa
Crash! Smashing through a small Stone Mountain, the monkey creature did it's best to steady itself in midair before it landed, only that..... Bam! The ninja guy was not yet done with it. What followed next was the continuous vanish, punch and crash sequence. ~Whoosh~ Bam! Crash! This went on for almost thirty seconds and Tisane could barely set his eyes on the ninja or the monster. All he could see were the little shock waves emanating here and there. Boom! ~Skraah!!~ Slam! crash! Tisane heard the painful cry of the monkey creature followed by a loud crumbling and rumbling sound. Stepping a bit forward, Tisane could clearly see a long fissure on the rocky landscape and at the end of this fissure lay a creature that was barely moving. Tisane shifted his eyes and saw the ninja landing from the air with a thud. "Is it dead?" Tisane couldn't help but ask. "Not yet, but it will be soon" the ninja said as he walked steadily towards the monster. The monkey creature b
Seeing the approaching object, the monkey creature swiped one of it's limbs as it sent the object flying back to the ninja. Stretching forth his hand, the ninja caught the oval object. ~Skraah!!~ The monster roared in ridicule at the ninja as if to say 'Your puny attack means nothing to me now' If Tisane could see the expression of the ninja right now, he would've thought that the ninja was a maniac. Chuckling to himself, the ninja put his hands together in the air. Slowly spreading his hands apart, the shape of a sword materialised. Grabbing the hilt of the sword, the ninja fearlessly charged towards the monster. Seeing the approaching black hooded figure, the creature had a look of disdain in it's eyes as it felt confident and ready to crush it's mortal foe. Tap tap tap The ninja's footsteps were light and steady as he crossed the distance between him and the monster within seconds. ~Skraah!!~ The monkey creature let out a furious roar as it got ready to engage it's a
