Chapter 1
Prologue
His breathing was heavy and abrupt. Unable to move. Body held by exoskeleton. Lower half is already sunk to the floor. Legs scraped and cut by broken glass. Some bits are already stuck in flesh. Eyes having trouble focusing. His white hair is sticking to forehead.
He is bleeding. Unable to even cry. Pain is excruciating. Yet he is already exhausted to be minding it. He’s got no idea how the glass pod broke – he woke up to pain. Still all the wires are connected to his body. Needles scraping inside of him – tearing flesh. Internal bleeding is severe by now.From what he sees in this room – it has been decades. Many years since everyone got killed. Mummified corpses of researchers are left around, in the same places they were shot. The stench is sickening.Facility running on reserve energy supply from hell knows where. Air is heavy, dusty, and most of the research lab is raided and destroyed. Yet quite a lot is still here and operating. Perhaps thieves just don’t know how valuable equipment really is.Monitors, although covered with layers of dust, display graphs and stats of the last existing patients – test subjects who are still attached to the system. He can barely distinguish his stats. It looks grim. He is dying.He knows – there is no way for him to survive. He gives a look around – glance leads to another cryogenic container. There is someone else, besides him, who’ll have more chances of survival. Way more chances than he does. Maybe there is hope.With all there is left of him – he can last another 6-8 hours more, before his mind fails him completely, just like his disabled body that is dying rapidly.Time that’s left – he must get her out. She is the last of the once existing family. His family. His hopes are now on her.He closes his eyes once again. He still remembers how to operate this.“System Compliance Granted” – the rippled muffled voice of AI says as he drifts off.Expand

Parallels I_II_III Book II : Chapter 4 “Escape, Awakening”
/AdrianHave been observing Killian's place to see if there is anything different. From the moment Niko disappeared from all possible places through the worlds - I had to know where she went. Could not disappear so easy, could she?An odd thing I witnessed - the man that looks relatively out of place, with his white hair, went into the Killians place. Then a bit later - Killian himself walks out to go somewhere. I stay in my place.Seeing the owner go out and back in a matter of a half-hour or so - with a huge luggage bag - that's a given that something is up.Then after around an hour - walked out and went towards the region known for the bars and clubs. I'm still in the car right across from the Killians place. Not knowing what to expect next, but feeling like there's something that I need to know now.Well well, who would have thought I'd see the devil himself walk into the Killians den, as I see the spit image of Ary go into the place.Now that is something I should investigate cl

Parallels I_II_III Book II : Chapter 3 “The Travel Begins”
/NikoAs I was mulling over how to rid the space from Leo, Killian came in."What the hell?" - His concerned voice was heavy."Send Leo away somewhere. So we have some time to plan things. Call in Ary. We're in trouble." - That's all I can let out.Killian gives a nod, as he goes out. I'm still on the floor, trying to catch my breath, to sort of think up what's next.Somehow - getting the full gang of who I AM aware of - should do some trick. Should help somehow.A few minutes later - Killian returns."He's out. Come on." - He comes over, hands softly picking me up, carrying me to the bar, helping me onto the padded chair."I called Ary. He's on his way." - Killian spoke. Decisiveness, strength is in his voice. A person one can rely on. Someone who is there no matter what. A balm to my soul, to say currently."Babe, I saw the psychopath in action." - I begin. - "You know how the damned White Hare was ape shit mad at torture?""Oh that absolute nutcase? Yup." - Killian says."Haha, yea

Parallels I_II_III Book II : Chapter 2 “The plan”
/NikoI walked behind Killian, further in and down - a specially built cellar that also was used as a cell for the interrogations, from way back when. Occasionally it was indeed 'checked-in', as once in a while we had some issues with some bits that came from other realities. Ones that mainly posed problems for us, due to the high influence of Adrian. That damn brat.Killian got the girl out, put her on the chair, tied her up, just for safety reasons. Then courteously got to go. Before he left, I caught him by the hand, halting his stride."Do not share a single thing there. I'll check what he's done, then we'll plan." - I said.Killian drew closer to my face, giving me a peck on my forehead."It's okay your Majesty. I got it." - He replied, gave me a pat on the shoulder and left.I turned to my other 'half'. So then. What did happen for Killian to so easily and so hastily get you here? I came closer, touched her forehead. She moaned up, slowly moving. As she wakes up. That made me hav

Parallels I_II_III Book II : Chapter 1 “The Bartender and The Lady”
/HikaruThus far, operating from where I was with Niko, I understood that I do need help. Keeping that girl in a safe place is one thing, but no matter what I do - her memories do not seem to return. It's like battling the air, when there is nothing helping.The one thing that came by is a person she once worked with. A very cold person that cleaned the streets from thugs with his own gang of misfits, eventually becoming one of the notorious leaders, keeping own order to things, keeping the whole system as he willed it. I managed to know that with time, he left it all for her and another person to run, as he went into "hiding".Though, I guess he was just fed up with the endless mess that had to be controlled. He opened the flower shop, with a bar on the floor above. Still being the hand that controls decisions from the shadows, being a bartender who only appears for certain people.It took me a bit of time to find him through the parallels, to find the right one with the flower shop a
