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
"You're a girl?!" Tisane blurted out in shock as he stared at the now revealed female in a ninja outfit. Her facial expression carried no hint of nervousness. "Well yeah. You have a problem with that?" She inquired with a blank look on her face. "Eh?" Tisane gaped stupidly as he didn't know how to reply. "Get some rest, we would be moving out soon" the girl said as she finished removing her facial mask and hooded covering. Sitting down on the surprisingly smooth floor in a cross legged position, she glanced at Tisane who still stood in a daze. "You hungry?" She asked while making a gesture with her hand. Snapping out of his daze, Tisane touched his rumbling stomach as he nodded. ~vinng~ Within seconds, there was a flash of light and then a metal object which had the appearance of a cooking pot materialised between them. Waving her hands again, another metal object materialised which looked very much like a mini gas cooker. "Huh?" Tisane's eyes widened as he watched the
"Do you have him in your sights?" James spoke as he pressed the comm device in his ear. **Yes, he is walking down the main street** the reply came through the Comm device. "Stay on him, don't lose him and don't get yourself exposed" James instructed. They have been keeping an eye on the underworld operations for the past one month and now they have a concrete lead that can lead them to one of the underworld secret cell zones. His only regret and annoyance was that for some reason, he was asked by headquarters to stay off field operations and only supervise from branch control office. It was so annoying. Why should they take him off field duty when he's so close in nailing their target. **The target has made contact. I repeat the target has made contact** came the urgent message over the comm device. James stared at the huge screen in the control room. "Give me more visual" he spoke to the computer operators. As the details on the huge screen became clearer, everyone could see
Tisane was quite shocked as he saw the incoming attack. Instinctively, he raised his arms to block. ~Splurch~ Tisane was sent flying as he left a trail of blood after him. ~Slam!~ Tisane was overwhelmed by pain that he had never felt before. Trying to hold it in was virtually impossible as the cry of agony left his lips. ~Ahhh!!!~ Glancing at his arms, he saw that they were both sliced to the point of falling off as blood kept pouring out profusely. ~Kieehkk!~ ~Kieehkk!~ ~Skraah!~ Glancing around, Tisane discovered that he was already surrounded by a group of monsters. Seeing the bloodthirsty glare in their eyes, he knew that even the ninja girl might not be able to save him this time. 'Am I going to die here? On a strange land? Without seeing my friends and family again?' The moment he thought about his family, the tears he had been holding for a long time began flowing out. As he felt the presence of his monstrous assailants closing down on him, he lamented. 'I don
(Flash Back........Matthew and his crew) Jerry was totally reluctant when he was asked by Matthew to accompany him to the NPLC. They were all on break from mutant school and as usual, were given some time to explore the outside world before they would be called back to school.So he was quite stoked to have a pleasurable time at some hotels with some beautiful ladies and ending it all at the beach as he rides the waves to the sunset. He had it all planned out, until Matthew told him to cancel his plans and tag along with Sabrina and Melissa.Matthew was regarded as a genius in the mutant school and was respected by a lot of mutants. He was an advanced grade mutant whom Jerry got acquainted with during an inter grade tournament.Matthew had rescued him from being almost killed by his opponent and because of that, he developed great respect for Matthew. In the mutant school, like every other societal system, you needed someone of a higher status and power to depend on as a way of survi
Under the dragon's behest, the space began to shatter and crumble. With the swipe of it's mighty claws, the spatial walls were torn open which caused the nebula clouds to fall in, resulting in more cataclysmic devastation.The dragon creature was bellowing with laughter as he watched the manifestation of his handiwork. But in the midst of it's laughing spree, it's eyes settled on Tisane, whom seemed unfazed by the chaotic phenomenon that was taking place._{Hmph...so what if you have the will of the Gods?!}__{You won't survive if your mutant soul realm is destroyed!!!}_The dragon was still bragging when a familiar voice echoed through the chaos which brought everything to a standstill._"El majeros!!"_The dragon creature's body shook as the entire space seemed frozen. It's eyes which were on Tisane began to quake as Tisane raised his right hand upwards and made a swiping movement.All of a sudden, the chaotic space began to repair and restructure itself as everything was returning
The dragon began to inject more of it's energy, in order to have a secure hold on the white glow which was already receding down Tisane's throat. The white glow suddenly stopped it's recession as it slowly began to succumb to the dragon creature's pulling force._{I will have you as mine!!}__{Mine and mine alone!!!}_The dragon's eyes flashed with mad determination as it poured more of it's energy in order to secure the white glow. It's eyes widened with joy as the white glow was pulled out towards Tisane's lips.But yet again, the white glow was stuck and refused to go past Tisane's lips. The dragon creature roared again in anger as it sent more of it's energy to pull out the white glow.This battle continued until the white glow began to become more volatile and erratic as it's glow increased. The dragon, in it's mad desperation didn't notice this sudden change on time, and by the time it noticed the sudden change of the white glow, it was too late._~Kablam!!~_There was a terrif
Tisane shook greatly as he heard the dragon's voice. It was a voice that he found extremely familiar._That voice...._He stared at the dragon as it began to approach gradually. Every step it took emitted strength and power._{In all my existence, I have never met a mortal creature as defiant as you}__{You should be proud mortal, for your progenitor was only able to become this tenacious through countless years of training and battles}_Tisane immediately had a moment of déjà vu as the dragon creature got closer, for it's image seemed to overlap with that of a certain monster in his mind. _The mountainous monster!!_Tisane spasmed as the memories came flooding back. His battles with the monster and how he even had to battle the colossal creature when it was split into three. He began to marvel at how he was able to exhibit that level of power in order to battle such terrifying creature._{I always wondered how you were able to contend against me so well}__{Well it seems that you a
As Tisane was engulfed by the Titanic fists, the monsters sighed in elation as they knew that Tisane was surely dead, for their attack was enough to completely obliterate an entire mountain. Halfway into their celebration, they began to frown as they discovered that something was wrong.Tisane whom was in the center of the monsters attack, wiped off a drop of blood that trickled down from the corner of his lips. He actually received the full brunt of the monsters terrifying attack and it was quite surprising that he was still standing and intact.His body was emitting the same brilliant glow, but in a greater intensity than before as he was enraged that he almost died due to the monsters attack. He didn't actually mind dying, but not before he had erased the mountainous monsters from existence.The monsters noticed that an intense force was repelling their fists greatly. After sometime, a powerful white glow erupted in the midst of their attack._{This.....}_Tisane gathered the energ
Tisane raised his head as he gave the mountainous monster a death stare. The monster subconsciously shivered as it's expression betrayed it's fear._''It's afraid.....of me?''_Tisane was amused by the sudden expression of the monster. It was quite soothing to see the monster display such an emotion.Tisane would have loved to mock and tease the abominable creature, but right now, with the power that was flowing through him, he was too eager to make the monster feel the pain that he had been feeling all this while. With a blast, he rushed towards the mountainous monster as he took a flying leap at the monster's face.He was so fast that all the monster could do at that point, was to hastily release the scarlet beam from it's eyes. Tisane didn't try to dodge the monster's attack as he threw his right fist forward._~Bang!~_With a huge explosion, Tisane and the monster's beam collided in the air. He's body was emitting a brilliant white glow as the force propelling him through the air
The earthquake only lasted for some minutes, before something incredible took place. Tisane watched wide eyed as the entire flesh, bones and blood of the dead monsters on the field began to move as if by an unseen force.They were all pulled towards a particular section of the field in front of Tisane. Pieces of flesh and bones began to merge together and pile up into a mountain of bulky meat.It was quite a horrifying sight as the mountain of meat began to take a strange human form. Though this form was more monster than human, it featured powerful muscular arms and legs.On it's head protruded various horns of different sizes. It's eyes a reddish gold hue shone like stars.It's mouth displayed a disorderly arrangement of huge sharp rows of teeth. The aura it emitted was so pressurizing that the air itself became so heavy and thick that it felt like being submerged in an ocean of paste.Tisane silently affirmed as he saw the monstrosity before him._''Finally, I have met the devil him
Tisane watched the sliced open body of the anaconda as it emitted a powerful putrid smell. Though, Tisane was able to kill three of such powerful monsters, he had no iota of joy or happiness in him.From the corner of his eye, he saw the overwhelming number of monsters which had surrounded him, each of them waiting for their turn to tear him to pieces. He knew that no matter how well he fights, he would not be able to kill them all._''I am going to die here''_Tisane now stood at the moment of his demise as his body shook in fear. The fear of death was the greatest fear that any mortal creature could ever feel._{You have performed slightly above expectation mortal. Your fighting spirit is quite admirable, unfortunately it will not be enough to save you from gruesome death!}_Tisane whom was shaking in fear initially, suddenly gripped the stinger weapon in his hand tightly as he gritted his teeth in anger. The voice that spoke only helped to irritate him to no end."F**k you!!"Tisan
The tentacle uncoiled itself as droplets of flesh and bone sprinkled out of its suckers. Tisane felt his heart bleed and his eyes pool with tears as he saw what was once his father now turned to be bloody pieces of bone and tissue.They were all dead.....Everyone.....He was all alone...._{I expect you mortals to show humility and surrender in the face of death. Feigning arrogance or courage will do you no good}__{Don't worry boy, after you give me what I want, I will make sure that you see your family again}_Tisane's body began trembling, not in fear or despair but in anger. He's entire family was slaughtered before his eyes by the same monster who was speaking so arrogantly, as if their lives were put in it's hands."You bastard..."Tisane muttered as he remembered his father's last words which ignited a flame inside him."You bastard!!!"The ignited flame became a raging inferno as Tisane roared out in anger._{What?! How dare you address me with such insulting and derogatory w
