Before the ships carrying the orphans arrived, Zeus descended into what appeared to be a basement. There, he found Maos standing in front of a rehabilitation tank. Inside the tank, floating in a greenish liquid, was Sir Larot. Devoid of armor or clothing except for a swimsuit and a helmet that completely covered his face, the man displayed an athletic physique, with several scars marking his skin: some crossed his back, while a long, deep one ran across his chest like a reminder of past battles.

"And so, doctor, how is the patient?" asked Zeus as he entered the laboratory, his voice echoing with authority in the cold room.

"He’s fine. I’ve stabilized him, and I believe he’ll recover in a couple of days," replied Maos calmly, adjusting some controls on the tank’s panel.

"Good. Now, I want you to activate his mental control so he becomes more obedient to my commands," instructed Zeus, his tone firm and demanding.

"Yes, sir. As you wish," responded Maos, pressing a button located outside

  • Agent's Dog System   1.The Failed Mission

    In the present day, many organizations seek to sow fear and chaos to impose their dominance, employing any weapon within reach: whether magical, extraterrestrial, or of unknown origin. This is the story of an unusual hero, whose bravery will help us face an unprecedented threat looming over the world like a dark shadow."Agent B-Twelve! Agent B-Twelve!" echoed a hurried voice through the hallways. "Does anyone know where the hell Agent B-Twelve is?" The voice sounded anxious, almost desperate, as if fighting against time itself."Sir, Agent B-Twelve is on a mission against the organization Blood Blue," replied Marie, the secretary, with professional calm as her fingers flew across her computer keyboard."What do you mean, on a mission? He was supposed to be here! Contact him immediately; I expect him at headquarters right now," ordered the boss in a tone that brooked no argument."At once, sir," said Marie, rising quickly from her seat. She pulled out her cellphone and dialed the agen

    We find ourselves in a dark and desolate alleyway, somewhere we left off at the end of the previous chapter. "Congratulations, you have acquired the JORGS system," the voice repeated for the fifth time inside the dog's mind. However, all it received in response were enthusiastic barks: "Woof, woof." The system couldn’t understand what its new host was trying to communicate, but before it could process further, rough hands lifted the dog off the ground."What are you doing here?" said the person who had picked him up, his tone a mix of annoyance and disinterest. "You shouldn’t be here, and besides, you’re filthy." He was an employee of the municipal pound, a man in his forties with a thick, unkempt beard that looked like it hadn’t been trimmed in weeks. His clothes were wrinkled, and his overall appearance reflected a life marked by monotony and neglect. He smelled of sweat and stale tobacco, and his attitude exuded bitterness and apathy towards his job.The JORGS system, still active

  • Agent's Dog System   3.What Is JORGS?

    At first, the dog didn’t pay much attention to what Reia, the artificial intelligence, was trying to explain. He was more fascinated by the voice emanating from her and thought to himself, This is my voice. How crazy! I sound like an action movie actor... well, that’s what I think. It’s the first time I’ve ever spoken. He had many questions swirling in his mind, such as: Can other dogs talk? Where did you get this voice?To the first question, Reia responded patiently: "No, other dogs can’t communicate like you. You’ll only hear barks." And to the second question, she added, "Well, I don’t know. When I searched my databases to update myself and understand you better, I discovered that this voice had already been embedded in my system as the only available option.""Listen to me, puppy," she insisted. "I need to explain what the system inside you is. Please pay attention this time and don’t get distracted by anything."The dog said to himself, I can do it. I’ll focus. I know I can conc

  • Agent's Dog System   4.The Adoption Day

    In a place far from the pond, still cloaked in the darkness of night, the moon shone in all its splendor, casting its silvery light over the landscape. It contrasted sharply with the dimmed streetlights, which seemed to surrender to the majesty of the starry sky. In this setting, an orphanage with a baroque structure could be seen, resembling ancient cathedrals or castles. It was the Orphanage of the Sisters of the Sun Order, nuns dedicated above all to sheltering orphans from across the country—both girls and boys alike—without distinction. For years, they had carried out this noble mission with devotion.The orphanage survived thanks to donations, its own activities, and government subsidies. However, maintaining such an old and grandiose building was costly. At first glance, the place had five or six floors, with an imposing front door and a rear entrance that led to a spacious recreational area. There, the children played soccer, volleyball, and other sports, enjoying moments of f

  • Agent's Dog System   5.The Train of Emotions

    We returned to the train, which was already in motion. Aiden remained unconscious in one of the carriages, lying on the floor next to Podbe, which surprised both Reia and Podbe himself."He’s not waking up," said Podbe in a worried tone, his golden tail swaying slowly. "I think we scared him when he heard my voice in his head.""I think so too," replied Reia with a gentle, reassuring smile as she approached him. "Animals on this planet don’t usually communicate with humans except through sounds or gestures, like your barking, for example.""I see, that’s why it had such a strong impact on him," Podbe responded, tilting his head to one side as he observed the unconscious boy. "Or maybe he fainted from hunger."Reia gave him a few soft pats on the back, as if to calm him down."It’s alright, don’t get so nervous, I understand. But I don’t know what could have happened to him."Meanwhile, in Aiden’s mind, everything was confused. He found himself in a space—or rather, an endless white ex

  • Agent's Dog System   6.What cute rabbits?

    We returned to the train tracks, where only the great freight train could be seen, derailed by the violent impact. This train transported various materials within the country and to neighboring nations: firewood, steel, precious materials, and other essential goods. It was an impressive train, with twelve cargo cars and five operators who worked in the engine cabin, located in the first car.“Are you guys okay?” asked Reia in a worried but firm voice.“The grass on this side cushioned the fall,” the two men responded almost in unison, though their voices betrayed a hint of confusion.Aiden’s pants were torn at the knees, as was his vest, revealing a few bruises and bumps from the violent fall.As the scene unfolded, it occurred to me that I hadn’t yet shared some important details about the characters and setting. Let me take a moment to paint a clearer picture for you. Aiden, on the day he ran away, was dressed in a striking red vest, a fitted black polo shirt, worn-out jeans, and sp

    It was a new day in Styria, Austria. In one of the picturesque towns of this region, the great sun rose majestically in the sky, though the crisp autumn air still lingered, slowly dissipating the moisture left by the rain from the night before. The leaves of the trees were beginning to transform, painting the landscape with golden, reddish, and ocher tones, as if nature itself wanted to celebrate the arrival of a new season.At the Order of the Sun orphanage, all the children were called for breakfast, a morning ritual that marked the start of their studies within the cozy facilities.In a room with five beds, each crafted from sturdy oak wood, the single-sized mattresses were covered with immaculate white sheets. Each bed had a somewhat firm pillow and a warm blanket that offered comfort during the chilly autumn nights. Four of the beds held children sleeping soundly, but the fifth was empty. Aiden was no longer there.His friend Billy, always resourceful, had placed a few pillows

    A telephone began to ring repeatedly, breaking the silence of the room with its insistent tone. Someone picked up the receiver and answered:“Hello, Marie, how are you? How’s everything going?” said a familiar and friendly voice from the other end.“Mr. B, how are you? We need your support to solve a case,” Marie replied, her tone tinged with urgency, though she tried to keep it subdued.“Ah! I see. Although I was on break, I’ll make an exception for you and for my former pupil, Agent B Twelve. So, you heard about what happened,” he responded, maintaining a calm but curious tone.“Yes,” Agent B replied, his voice firm and decisive.“Good, I’ll help you. Where are you?” he asked, ready to take action.“In Styria, Austria,” Marie responded without hesitation.“Ah! Perfect. I’m nearby, in Vienna,” he said enthusiastically. “I’ll put on my uniform and head over. I’ll be there in an hour. Send me the exact location. See you soon.”Agent B hung up the phone. At that moment, the silhouette o

    "Tecro, but how is this possible?" he murmured, pointing at one of the people present. "Call your office. Tell them they’ve tampered with the image and placed people who aren’t responsible for this horrendous event."The agent nodded and quickly dialed from his phone. The scene was absolute chaos. Agent Mina arrived on-site with two other colleagues, but what they found was devastating: all the vehicles from their unit were destroyed, some riddled with bullet holes; the agents in the front had lost their lives, and those in the back were critically injured."Call an ambulance," Mina ordered urgently, and one of her companions immediately contacted emergency services.Following the trail of destruction left by Paul and Vera, they reached the car where Carlo had been traveling. The vehicle was completely wrecked, engulfed in fierce flames."Use the car’s fire extinguisher, and you, call the firefighters as well," Mina instructed firmly, delegating tasks among her team.Once the flames w

    The special department was reviewing what had happened, with some forensic units that had arrived at the scene working together with Tecro. A technical team had entered the police station to restore the power in the building. Another group, dressed in white suits, was carrying bags containing all the fallen officers, while Tecro and his team were taking detailed photographs of the scene."Do you know what might have happened?" the special agent asked Tecro."No, but I saw the woman we captured leave with a man. I took a photo of the car and the license plate, but I need to enhance the image with software," Tecro replied."Do it, kid," responded the special agent, Carlo, a man in his fifties with a deep, firm voice that exuded experience."Right away," said Tecro, quickly transferring the image to his tablet to begin processing it.As Tecro worked, another special agent accompanying Carlo intervened. It was Mina, a woman in her thirties whose sharp gaze reflected intelligence and deter

    In the police station, silence and darkness dominated the atmosphere. The officers inside—a total of twenty—began to wonder what might have happened. Some said, "It must be a short circuit." "This place is already old," one commented, while another added, "Although they remodeled it a couple of years ago." "Could it be that someone is coming for her?" suggested a third."Nonsense," said the second-in-command firmly. "Go get the flashlights and load your weapons." "Yes, sir," the others responded in unison."Sir Donovan, what about the prisoner?" asked a young officer. "Have two stays and guard her. Don’t let anyone enter through that door. The rest, with me." "Yes, sir," they responded again. To the two who stayed with Vera, they left a flashlight, while the others went out to investigate what had happened."You guys, go check the backup generator. Meanwhile, you and others check the wiring outside. We’ll cover you from inside, watching the main door." Immediately, everyone dispersed

    No choice. I'd have to either rescue her or finish her off, depending on the general’s orders. I called Uve on the phone. “Sir, we managed to complete the extraction, but that fool, Vera, was captured by the police; she’s a very impulsive member,” he reported. “What happened, Paul? What did that girl do this time?” the general replied in a stern tone, as if already tired of Vera’s recklessness.“Sir, remember that the original plan didn’t work. Since the orphanage director didn’t listen to her, Vera threw a tantrum and decided to go after her to exterminate her. But it seems the mother was smarter and called the police, who arrived immediately and captured her,” the lieutenant explained in a measured tone, trying not to sound guilty. “I see,” the general said after a brief silence filled with thought.“What should I do? Should I leave her there to serve her sentence, or do you want me to free her? I’ll just say that she didn’t take the face-changing pill,” Paul expressed, awaiting cle

    Everyone present on Paul and Vera’s ship began donning dark camouflage suits, adjusting their weapons and accessories with precise and methodical movements. The atmosphere was thick with tension but also determination.“In the end, we had to go with Plan B. We should have done it from the start,” Paul muttered as he finished equipping himself with the last of the mission gear. His voice carried a barely concealed tone of frustration, as if internally grappling with the feeling of having lost control of the situation.Meanwhile, at the orphanage, night slowly descended upon the building. The director, known to all as the Mother Superior, stood before the children, who were gathered in perfectly aligned rows. With her characteristic serenity, she spoke the phrase that always accompanied their nightly farewells:“Everyone has the opportunity to have a new beginning. No matter where you are heading, if you move forward with love and happiness, you will always find a new dawn.”Her words r

    Lieutenant Paul Fernandez drove alongside his team toward the location of the orphanage where Aiden had come from. The ship that transported them landed at the designated spot. With a metallic hiss, the door opened slowly. Paul stepped out with firm strides, closely followed by a companion whose face had also been altered thanks to Lady’s advanced technology. It was a crisp morning, around ten o’clock, with a clear sky promising a sunny day.Both were dressed in outfits designed to make them look like an ordinary couple, disguised as people eager to adopt a child. Their vehicle, a modest but well-maintained blue van, stopped in front of the main entrance. Paul, who was behind the wheel, rolled down the window and addressed the gatekeeper in a friendly tone:“We’re here to complete an adoption,” he explained, though his expression quickly shifted from cordial to serious, almost irritated, when the man asked if they had an appointment.The woman, sensing Paul’s sudden change in demeanor

    The team Melisa was traveling with dropped her off at her house, along with Creg and Ian. The three of them got out of the helicopter, but not before bidding farewell to the professor and his companion. They made their way into Melisa’s apartment. She opened the door and said,“Well, guys, feel free to take whatever you want from the kitchen. I’m going to take a shower after being in all that dust. If you’d like, there’s also a guest bathroom downstairs, and I think there’s some of the clothes you left last time, Creg. Ian, you can use the clothes my brother doesn’t wear anymore; they’re about the same size as yours. It’s down that hallway.”Melisa went upstairs to shower, while the other two, driven by the hunger left by their adventure, began to eat, though Creg ate more than Ian. Afterward, they took turns showering and changing.Meanwhile, Melisa had finished showering and was drying her hair with the blow-dryer. She looked in her closet and began searching for her special outfit:

    "I have the perfect place," Doctor Laos said with a calculating smile. "Since these children are orphans, we can start with the orphanages. What was the name of the one Aiden and his group came from? Ah, yes... the Order of the Sun."Zeus nodded in satisfaction."Excellent. That way, no one would suspect a thing. Who's going to stand up for a bunch of orphans?" he added with disdain. "You're a genius."He rose from his seat, his tone firm as he continued."I'll send my men to work while you, with Lady’s team, prepare this place for large-scale Metalux production."Doctor Laos frowned, intrigued."And how do you plan to do that, boss?"Zeus flashed a malicious grin and replied casually,"If things go smoothly, I’ll have them adopted. But if it takes too long... I'll have to use plan B."His eyes gleamed with a sinister light before he turned and left.Richard, the doctor, wasted no time contacting Lady to coordinate the restructuring of the facility.
