Chapter 43
---"Damn it!" Rose blurted out.They all sat down at the operational room this time. No one stood. The weight of Berlin was still on them. Ioande was ready to give her one contribution, based on the experience she has with Johnson. Years of watching him. Years of being caged by him."So what do we do now?" Rose added, her voice tight, her eyes on Leo."I guess we have to find the third component before they do," Leo said, his eyes intense, burning with focus. "And when they do come for it, stop them for good this time. No more decoys. No more falling for Johnson's tricks."Before anyone could answer, he got a call from Michael from the Omega Station."Chancellor," Leo said as Michael appeared in his usual white attire, the Ω Omega symbol glowing on his chest. Calm. Regal. Untouched by the chaos."I was just told the news about what had happened," Michael said, his voice low."Yes, Chancellor. It was a decoy using Rihanna," Leo said, "and I am sure he didn't tell either of them that h
Chapter 42
Leo's eyes blazed with fury.Now he saw it. All of it. How shrewd Johnson had been.The plan was never Rihanna. Rihanna was the distraction. The fight, the blackout, the storms — all of it was designed to keep him engrossed, to keep his eyes locked on her while Johnson slipped in behind, unseen, to take the bomb.He had walked straight into it."Remaining three more to go," Finn said, his voice dripping with triumph.Rihanna had a sinister smile on her face. Slow. Cruel. The smile of someone who had known the ending before the battle even started.Harry joined in to mock, laughing, his cybernetics flashing in the dark."No you don't!" Leo roared.He constructed another heavy blade — thicker, rugged, jagged along the edge, built for destruction, not finesse — and threw it towards them with all his strength, the blade screaming through the air like a comet.Too late.Too late again.The portal flared violet and they were gone. Rihanna, Finn, Harry, Johnson — vanished, taking the second
Chapter 41
---"What do we have, Julian? Talk to me!" Leo blurted, eyes locked on the swarm outside. They had to ignore the beasts and get to the mission. The plane wouldn't hold much longer.The alien beasts were more vicious than ever. Super strength rippled through their jaws as they tore at the hull. Metal screamed. Sparks rained across the viewport. The whole craft shuddered."I'm initiating a nanotech bionic shield to protect from the flying alien beasts," Julian said, voice straining over the system. The shield flared blue, translucent, wrapping the plane. It held only seconds. Almost useless. The beasts were already chewing through, claws punching into the fuselage, teeth finding seams."It's not working, Julian," Henry shouted, bracing his boots against the deck as the plane lurched hard left."Julian, we need something else," Leo added, jaw tight, codex light crawling up his forearm."I'm so sorry, I can't do much more than what I have done," Julian replied, guilt clear. "It's somethin
Chapter 40
Johnson's fury bled into the air itself.The office on Level Six had gone dead silent. The kind of silence that comes before someone loses their head. His subjects stood with their shoulders locked, eyes lowered, breathing shallow."How?" Johnson's voice cut through the steel and glass. Cold. Controlled. Lethal. "How did they breach my perimeter while my own subjects were en route to see me? In my own tower? On Level Six?"No one moved."What exactly happened?" His jaw tightened, the fury in his face no longer cold but burning white hot behind his eyes.Finn stepped forward too quickly. Panic made him stupid."I'm so sorry, Chancellor. I really don't understand what happened," he blurted.From the corner of his eye, Rihanna shot him a look. Sharp. Cutting. The kind of look that said you just made it worse.Finn swallowed.Rihanna stepped forward, her posture perfect, her voice calm but edged with steel."Chancellor. We have a mole," she said. "This wasn't a random breach. The timing w
Chapter 39: Extraction
---*Chapter 39: Extraction*Code X tightened his grip on the light-blade. The hum of it filled the cave.He turned his head slightly to look at Rose, his eyes glowing with the ring's energy."Stay behind me. No matter what happens, do not break formation," he said.Then he charged.What happened next made Rose freeze.He didn't just run at the beasts. He launched, rolled in mid-air, twisted his entire body like a coiled spring, and came down slashing. It was fluid. Brutal. Beautiful. It was exactly how Leo fought.Rose had seen Leo fight a hundred times in training sims. That same acrobatic precision, that same economy of movement. But this was different. Code X wasn't just copying.Henry fought by letting the ring do everything. Leo fought as a full agent, his body itself was the weapon. Code X was in between. He was using the ring, yes — the super strength, the super speed — but he was adding his own experience. His own years of surviving Level Five. Every slash was calculated. Eve
Chapter 38
*Chapter 39: Level Five*"Damn it! I knew it! Coming here was almost a suicide mission, even with Johnson gone," Code X cursed under his breath.The air in Level Five was different. Colder. Thicker. It pressed against their lungs like it didn't want them breathing here.Rose didn't look at him. Her eyes were fixed on the woman lying on the medical slab. Her mother. Still asleep. Her chest rising and falling slowly, too slowly. But her mind was awake — Rose could feel it. Faint, like a whisper through a wall."What do we do now? We have to get her out. And we have to do it clean. No alarms, no one seeing us," Rose said, her voice shaking. "She's only reaching me telepathically. She can't wake herself up yet."Code X scanned the corridor. The lights were dimmed to emergency red. He knew what that meant."I don't know, Rose. I honestly don't," he admitted, running a hand through his hair. "But there's a service route. Old maintenance tunnel. It bypasses the main floor. Cameras are dead r
