The room appeared exactly as he had remembered it. His virtual reality gaming headset, webcams, PlayStation and Xbox controllers, wallpaper collections of "Call of Duty" characters scattered across the wall, and his recent achievement award as the top VR gamer in America are all displayed on the shelf.

He walked up to the wooden shelf by the side of his bed and picked up the award. Grinning, he kissed the edge of the gleaming gold cup and gave it a warm embrace.

Sonia was standing at the door watching Brendan as he inspected his room. Observing how much he missed his room, she was filled with even greater admiration for him. She had a completely different outlook on life after meeting this guy. As long as she's concerned, he is the only hero she needs in this world. She would never want to lose this gift.

"I recognize that particular one." Brendan did not notice Sonia entering his room. She wanted to say goodbye and be on her way back home.

After a moment of shock, Brendan turned

    The QASA agency kept track of Brendan's day-to-day activities, every single thing he did was on camera. Drummond even made arrangements for him to be brought to the headquarters in Liberia."I need to know everything he needs in life. We can't lose this one for anything." Drummond ordered the team to check his profile, every record, birth certificate, and every atom of information they could get their hands on about Brendan."Sonia." "Yes Sir?""I'm counting on you. Do not fail me." Drummond said to the research team leader."I won't Sir." She replied with a bow.Sonia has been a member of the agency for a very long time. Despite her young age, Drummond assigned her to be the head of the research team because he knew she was capable. After Drummond had left, Sonia sat down behind her desk and continued watching Brendan very closely, through the computer."Mom, what's the matter? You look worried." Brendan said when he noticed the sad look on his mother's face. Ever since Brendan's f

    "Look who's graduating again! I'm so proud of you, Brendan. How I wish your father was here to witness what you've achieved all on your own." "No, no. Come on Mom, we are not going over this again. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have made it to where I am today. So I want to say thank you so much for believing in me." Brendan replied. "Yeah, you will always be my special boy. So what about the Job, still considering it? " She asked. "I think I'm going for it. You know, all I ever wanted was to give you a better life and make sure we never lack again. I'm going to make that dream come true ma." Brendan assures his mother with a big smile.

    "Approaching destination in 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…"The ship made its landing on an old rusty crash site surrounded by spontaneous cliffs and a bunch of damaged stuff. Before they depart the ship, Ricky calls Brendan aside to talk. "Keep me in touch at all times. If anything you find strange out there, you let me know. If things get too messy, return with the team back to the ship. Alright?""Copy that." Brendan replied. "One more thing. Look after Sonia for me, keep her close, and never let her out of your site." Ricky said with all seriousness. He was literally shaking Brendan's shoulders to pass the message. Brendan became even more curious as to why Ricky was always looking out for Sonia. He was about to ask him who she was to him but changed his mind."Got it, Sir." Brendan replied and put on his helmet. "Heading out." "Good luck team, go get our vibranium." Drummond said. The team put on their space suits and made their way out of the ship. They started walking down the open ro

    "Sonia, can you hear me, are you alright?" Ricky called out through the walkie-talkie. "Yes, I'm alright." Sonia confirmed. "But Brendan…I-I couldn't reach him." She added. "We couldn't reach him from here also." Ricky replied.Sonia started to snivel, looking very sad. She closed her eyes as tears came running down her dusty cheeks. "You were right, I shouldn't have let this happen. Brendan could be dead and it's all my fault." Sonia continues sobbing. "Don't say that, we are not sure yet. He is a tough guy and-and I'm sure he'll pull through." Ricky said, trying to spark a little hope but he didn't even believe in his own words. The look on his face right now is similar, yes that's right. A few years ago he lost a crew to this course. He never wanted all of this happening but that's the deal he signed up for. It's like a contract with the devil that is irrevocable. "I-I'm scared." Sonia whispered under her breath. "What about the others?" Ricky asked. "We were separated when

    "Alright. Be careful." Ricky massaged his temples as he let out a deep sigh. He gently found his way to a chair and sank in it, eyes closed. "What's up?" Drummond spoke. "Just talked with the captain, he said they got the signal." Ricky lazily said. "You mean the vibranium?""Yes.""That's great news!" Drummond exclaimed and started laughing. "Or a bad one. You're happy huh? It seems you have forgotten so quickly what happened the last time. They got the signal too right? And what happened next?" Ricky glares at Drummond viciously, his eyes flaming like a hot coal. Drummond couldn't say a word when Ricky confronted him. He has never cared about the team he recruits, he doesn't care how many have sacrificed their lives and died for his gaddam project. Ricky wanted to remind him."That's right, you've got nothing to say. Well, let me remind you. In 2001, Team Pluto, all five of them died even before crossing the orbits, because there was not enough oxygen to keep them alive. 2003,

    Chapter 16: Return of Brendan Omar

    Sonia boarded a taxi to go to Mrs Omar’s house. She silently sobbed, burying her face between her palms. Although her back hurt, she dared not to raise her eyes, lest the driver notice her and think she was some kind of a depressed girl or worse, that she had been abused. After she came down from the car, she put on a shade to cover her red eyes from onlookers patrolling the street. The view of little children playing by the field and their parents watching from a distance, holding hands. For Sonia, it brought back memories of her third birthday celebration. It was the best summer she had ever had. Her school friends came over and they played in the fields near her house while her parents and the adults talked. Her grandparents were also there to support her.Sonia's heart began to pound loudly behind her chest as she glanced ahead of the street. She could see Mrs. Omar's house about twenty steps away, and she started to consider how she could tell her why she had returned. However

    “Where do we land this thing? We need to keep it away from the sight of people.” Brendan drives straight into the clouds as he navigates suitable places for landing. “That is almost impossible, but I suggest we take a landing somewhere deserted,” Thompson responded. Brendan looks at the map and pinpoint a desert located between Mexico and a part of Texas. “Hold tight, we are um, landing at the Chihuahuan desert.”“Chi-chihuahua what?” Thompson cuts in. “Is that Chinese?” He added. “Hahaha. I don't know man, but here we go!”Brendan landed the spaceship in a very vast desert, in the middle of nowhere and they all alighted. Earlier they found lots of high-tech gadgets, including guns, grenades, vests, and also two Renegades. “Are you ready to roll?” Thompson smirks as he ignites the Renegade, the engine flaring like gasoline. Brendan thinks of his mother, Sonia, and his friends, he has missed them so much. He can't wait to go home and hug his mother, although he knows he has a lo

After what happened, she took Brendan’s mother as her own mother and visited her frequently to help with the basic house chores. She walks up to the door and when she opens it, she is surprised and happy to see her old man. “Dad? What a surprise.”Thompson furrows his eyebrows as he stands up. He groans while massaging his temples, feeling severe pains at the side of his head. “What the…” “Rise and shine.” Brendan looks at him with wide eyes. The spaceship was on autopilot so he came to where Thompson sat and tapped his shoulders. “What was that for?” Thompson shrugged his shoulders. “What?” Brendan asked, and for some reason, he felt the urge to laugh. “Don't act like you don't know what I'm talking about. You f*king smacked me by the head back there.” Thompson complained.“Oh, that. What were you e

    Ricky felt he could change Drummond’s mind all these years, or maybe at least change his motives. He knew everything Drummond had been planning was going to cause havoc and more lives would be lost, but he ignored it. Now he knows better, he knows that Drummond will never change his mind. “I thought maybe in a matter of time, you will give up and make amends. I was wrong, I should have stopped you many years ago. Instead, I watched you turn into the monster you are today.” Ricky voiced out in pain. Watching Drummond through the glass door, he added. “My only regret is being a part of it, that's something I will have to carry for the rest of my life.”“Hahahaha. Ricky, you can't escape me. You are going to help me test-run the Vibranium.” Drummond insisted. “And then what? More and more people die?” Ricky turns around, glaring viciously at Drummond. “Over my dead body.” He spat. “So you don't mind if your daughter finds out the truth?” A smirk flushes Drummond's face.

    CHAPTER 12: Escape Plan

    Brendan woke up to the hearing of screeching sounds from afar, he had been hanging in chains for a long time and had fallen asleep, thrice. He regrets trusting Thompson for his words and now he is going to be killed for it. That's what happens when one lets their emotions get the better of them. “So they left you behind, why?” Omini asked. “They think I'm dead. So it doesn't matter if you kill me now.” Brendan replies, promptly. “I'm not going to kill you, death will be too easy for a punishment.” Omini approaches with his long fingers hovering around Brendan’s neckline. “I will make sure you suffer and beg for death to come.”Brendan felt a lump go down his throat and cold sweat forming on his forehead, but he refused to show his fears in front of his enemy. “How did you learn how to speak human language?”“We adapted. It was very easy since we are more intelligent than your kind, more advanced in technology and every mutation, able to understand hundreds of languages.” Omini boa

    CHAPTER 11: Back Home

    The Mothership scaled through the bliss of silence and beautiful large stars. Everyone was still lying low, thinking that they had been captured by the alien ships. “It's okay, I think we lost them,” Ricky spoke before lifting the Force-fill shield, making the Mothership visible again. “That was awesome sir! I never knew you could fly like a badass.” The Pilot chuckles while taking back control piloting. “Thank you, Ramos.” Ricky forced a smile before leaving to go check up on his daughter. Jasper and Kaleb were staring at Drummond who was smiling to himself as he observed the Vibranium. “What are you both looking at?” Drummond yells at them and they scurry away. The Mothership slowly approached the surfaced planet as the sunlight became visible from the other side. It dived down into the light, revealing the bright clouds and then little lines and curves which proves that the earth is spherical in shape. Tall buildings and little towns, oceans, and little lakes could be seen as

    “Come on guys, where are you?” Ricky is pacing around, rubbing his hands nervously as he watches the widescreen. He couldn't read any of the team's vitals and that got him really worried. “Nothing yet?” Drummond asked from behind but Ricky ignored him completely. "Yes! We are alive. We are alive!""Yeah, that was a close one. Hahaahaha."Jasper and Kaleb hugged themselves and started rejoicing when they realized they had escaped the amagroks. The both of them halted at once, seeing Sonia sitting by the rocks, her head buried under her palms. Sonia couldn't stop crying despite the fact that they escaped death, she wails uncontrollably while Sasha tries to comfort her.Feeling sad about the whole thing, Jasper and Kaleb walk up to Sonia and squat beside her."I'm sorry Sonia, Brendan was such a brave guy, a good leader who puts his comrades first." Jasper said, stroking Sonia's shoulders to calm her down."I feel bad about it, but what I can't understand is why he will go back for t
