Episode Five-Part V: Operation Save Chiyo PT I
The sunny afternoon baked the city in a quiet heat. People flooded the streets, some shouting over vendors, some drifting in the haze of routine. It was busy—yet strangely dull. Peaceful… too peaceful. Then—whoosh!—something tore through the crowd. A blur sliced past the line of pedestrians, so fast that wind exploded in its wake. People screamed as they were flung backward, clothes snapping against the sudden gust. “What the heck was that?” someone yelled. “It’s a ghost!” another screamed. “We’re haunted!” “Ugh—snap out of it, dummy!” Before the panic settled, another gust cut through the air. This one stronger. A large bird-shaped blur—blue as lightning—roared over the street, throwing dust and debris into a spiral. “Is this town haunted!?” someone shouted again. But it wasn’t a ghost. The blur was Freda, sprinting at inhuman speed, her body coursing with beast-like energy. And right behind her, chasing hard, was Zoe, riding a colossal aura bird that split the air like thunde
Episode Five-Part VI: Operation Save Chiyo pt II
Ned adjusted his glasses as the hologram of the target building flared to life in blue light, reflecting across everyone’s faces. “This is it, right?” Sandy asked, squinting at the shimmering structure. “I’ve scanned the entire building,” Ned said, voice steady but tense. “But this section—” he pointed at a blank block behind a bookshelf “—it’s completely sealed off from my sensors.” “How’s that possible?” Jayden leaned in, frowning. “I’d love to explain,” Ned sighed, pushing his glasses up, “but we can do that later.” Reece pointed at the dark area. “Maybe that’s where Chiyo’s being kept.” “Theoretically,” Ned replied. “But the material density suggests it’s more than a single room.” Silence rippled through the group. “Then we should split into teams of three,” Kai suggested, voice calm but sharp. “I agree with the kid,” Jayden added. Kai turned to him. “No offense, but I’m not a kid.” “Noted,” Jade smirked, jabbing Jayden in the ribs. “Three teams, huh…” Sandy rubbed his
Episode Five-Part VII: All For One
Sandy and his team had been kept busy with the guards, who fought fiercely and seemed to have the upper hand because of their sheer number. Sandy dashed toward two of them and attacked with plasma beaming from his palms, but they kept evading his strikes. Jade had no trouble on her end; she played her violin intensely while seated on a chair. Waves blasted from her instrument, shoving back many guards. She shifted the melody to another epic tone as the waves took crescent forms. Drawing her bow for the final note, she waved it over her head like a wand, sending crescents slicing toward the advancing guards—cutting through them as blood splashed across the floor. Jayden swayed as though dancing while waves shot from his palms, pushing back the guards coming his way. The more he struck, the more they appeared. Surrounded by guards with taser batons, he smirked and swung his arms around, gathering energy. Crossing his arms over his chest, he bowed his head slightly, almost as if in pra
Episode Five-Part VIII: All For One Pt II
Sandy bent over towards the ground, his right fingers resting flatly on the floor. His eyes were shut in deep concentration as his fingers slowly brushed across the ground. Jayden stood with his legs slightly apart, his fingers spread wide as if about to conjure something. Wind-like waves swirled around him—ripples moving inward instead of out. Cheryl took off her gloves, picked up a few pebbles, and began tossing them into the air. She continued this routine with her left arm on her hip, resting her weight to one side. Sandy looked at her as she tossed another pebble up, looked away—then glanced back again, distracted. “You’ve got nice gloves,” Sandy smiled. “Well… don’t get used to it.” Cheryl mocked. “It’s my gear.” “Likewise mine,” Sandy laughed. Silence fell between them. Jade gently patted Freda’s head while humming a slow melody. Freda sat breathing deeply, recovering from the fatigue of her eagle vision. Sandy’s ears caught the melody—it made him close his eyes, almost
Episode Six-Part I: The Original Plan
“We’re a few miles away,” Neil announced. He and his squad advanced across the rooftop, heading straight for the back door with Kai’s powers guiding their path. They slipped down the stairwell leading to the top floor, descending in silence so as not to alert the guards. At a steel door, the team halted. Neil stood in front, scanning beyond it. His eyes narrowed as he sighed heavily. “How many are they?” Ned whispered. “Twenty,” Neil replied. “And they’re advanced Gifteds...” "By advanced Gifted," Ned said. "You mean....?" "Yes, they are all Abominables." “Damn,” Kai muttered. “What do we do?” “We wait,” Neil said. “Why?” Lyn frowned. “Shouldn’t we be attacking already?” Ned asked. “I guess we wait like he said,” Reece murmured. “And is that fear I smell on you?” Lyn turned to Reece, her death stare sent a cold chill down his spine... he shook in fear. “We do as he says,” Zoe cut in firmly. “Neil has his reasons.” The building’s alarm blared, shattering the quiet. Footst
Episode Six-Part II: Clash Of Sparks
A violent clash echoed through the hall as two figures collided midair. Steam hissed, heat flared, and vapor filled the room. Steam Vapor Guard used bursts of heat to counter every one of Ned’s matrix attacks. A glowing sigil spun around Ned — a circle containing a rectangle and a triangle — his shield against everything the guard threw at him.Both fighters hopped back from the recoil. Ned caught the faint hum of metal — another guard, hurling zapping spikes from behind."Ten centimeters from my body," he calculated, a grin tugging his lip. "Nice combo attack, you two."A rectangular cube appeared beneath his feet, launching him upward like a hopper. Ned backflipped through the haze, summoning more cubes in the air to step on, climbing like stairs made of light. His arms spread like wings, two glowing spheres forming in his palms. He swirled upwards and hit another cube above him with his foot and launched downward, using the rebound to dive.The spheres whirled in his hands — he thr
Episode Six-Part III: Void Space
"Why did you lead us here, Neil?" Zoe asked. "Aren't we supposed to go to where she is?" "I... I don't understand." Neil covered his eyes, his voice uncertain. "This is the right spot... then what's going on?" They all turned to leave, disappointment clear on their faces. Neil—usually a flawless leader—felt the weight of their silence. He sank onto a couch as they began to exit. His spatial awareness, once sharp and reliable, was useless now. He was about to rise when something about the room caught his attention. His vision wavered near a bookshelf, the edges distorting as if reality itself bent there. "Guys..." he called quietly. "What is it?" Kai asked. "I think I found something," Neil whispered, moving closer. "That’s a dead end, Neil," Reece muttered. "I don’t think there’s anything there." "Wanna make a bet?" Neil said, smirking. "If I’m right, you all will do whatever i ask of you." "And if you’re wrong?" Zoe asked. "Then I’ll do whatever you ask of me," Neil turned
Episode Six-Part IV: Calvary
Freda and Jade lay sprawled on the cold floor, bodies aching, breaths shallow. Their eyes met across the dust-streaked tiles. Neither spoke. The silence between them felt sealed—like an unseen padlock had clamped down on their tongues. "How long are we going to stay like this?" Freda finally broke the quiet, voice hoarse. "Shouldn’t you be on your feet by now?" "And look who’s talking." Jade laughed weakly, the sound breaking through the stale air. "You’re in the same situation I’m in." "And what if an enemy shows up right now?" Freda groaned, shifting slightly. "Who’s going to save us then?" "Well..." Jade was about to fire back when the sharp screech of tires echoed outside. Engines cut. Then came the steady, thunderous rhythm of boots—many of them—rushing into the building. Jade turned to Freda, her lips curling into a small, brave smile. Slowly, she lifted her arm toward her. Freda hesitated for a moment, then reached out too. Their fingers brushed before locking together we
Episode Six-Part V: Don't Mess With A Demon pt I
"What took you so long, mate?" Sandy groaned."Sorry it took a while." Rory smiled faintly. "Had to get myself together."Silence filled the hall before Neil and Delia appeared beside him, their presence shifting the air."And I brought backup," Rory added, glancing at Delia.She stood a few steps apart—expression calm, but her eyes burned with silent fury. Everyone felt it."Did you do something wrong, Neil?" Sandy whispered."Well…" Neil scratched his head, avoiding his gaze. "I kinda… held her waist.""You did what?" Sandy hissed."It wasn’t my fault!" Neil defended, looking innocent.Rory chuckled, walking past them."Well, if you two have something going on in your heads," Jayden shouted, "you better let it out now so everyone knows what you’re talking about!""Yeah, the kid’s right," Cheryl said, folding her arms. "And by the way, where’s Freda and Jade?""I left them in a safe place," Neil replied.Rory looked toward the corridor, eyes narrowing. His telepathic link wouldn’t co
Episode Six-Part VI: Don't Mess With A Demon Pt II
“Come at me with your best shot,” Neil said, voice sharpening like a blade. “Unless you’re scared to face a kid.” The man answered with a snarl and launched himself forward—too quick, driven by raw anger. Neil disappeared from sight. The air folded; the man’s fist sliced through empty space. Neil reappeared behind him with the calm of someone who had been waiting the whole time. The man didn’t slow. He spun, punched — and missed. His fist crashed into the office chair instead, wood splintering, leather bursting with a sound that echoed off the glass. He panted, face red, eyes searching the room as if the walls themselves had betrayed him. Each failed strike made him more frantic. Neil, eyes still closed, breathed slow and steady. There was no panic in him—only an almost cruel patience. The director’s arrogance began to curdle into unease. “Normal people don’t dodge my punch that fast,” the man thought, a tremor of confusion threading his voice. "How did a kid manage to vanish and r
