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 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

--- Chapter 37: Null-Point Island - Level Five "Yes, you are here in Level Five," the alien said, his voice still inside Rose's head. "I know where she is. As you can see, I have been restricted by Johnson, so I cannot communicate with her directly. But I can use you to break the barrier." Rose listened, her heart pounding. "I can help you break through," he continued. "Johnson secured that facility too well, especially the area where your mother is. No normal hack can reach her. Only your blood can." Rose stared at his glowing violet eyes. The connection felt warm and strange, like a memory she never had. "What's your name then? What should I call you?" she asked. "You can call me Ronah," he said. "It's my alien name. It's what I want to be called here." Slowly, in the dream, their hands touched. The moment their fingers linked, Rose felt a jolt. It wasn't painful. It was powerful. A vibration ran from his hand into her chest. She could feel it. They were from the same planet

*Chapter 36: Null-Point Island - Enemy Base Level Six*Finn's mind went completely blank as he stood before Chancellor Johnson.Johnson was furious. His face was red, veins bulging on his forehead. The entire command room on Level Six had gone silent."Do you have any idea what you did?" Johnson roared. "You summoned those beasts in your sleep! You could have killed everyone on this level!"Finn flinched. His throat was dry. "I'm sorry, Chancellor. I didn't do it intentionally. I didn't know I was summoning them.""Explain it then!" Johnson slammed his fist on the console. "Explain how three Class-C Rippers appeared inside the barracks!"Finn swallowed. The dream was still fresh."I was dreaming," he said quietly. "I was dreaming about him. About Leo. About everything he took from me. The last time we fought, he humiliated me in front of everyone. In the dream, I wanted revenge. I was angry, and I must have triggered the codex without knowing."He looked up, pleading. "It wasn't on pu

---*Chapter 35*Leo was ready in his gear. The Ω symbol glowed on his chest, bright blue. Henry was beside him, also getting dressed.Both of them covered their faces with masks. They had to. Their present selves in this timeline can't know they also exist. If they see themselves, everything will scatter."Julian, take us there," Leo said. He knew Julian had enough power now. Unlike before when she was always low on power.[Noted, Captain.] Julian responded. Her voice was calm.And they teleported. Straight towards the bridge area.*Null-Point Island - Enemy Base*Johnson left level six. He was heading to level five.He walked fast. He knew where he kept Ioande. In the confinement room. She was in her very long sleep. The kind she does as a healer. It is part of her alien mandatory. To sleep for some months in a year. And she was about to wake up the next day.He had so much to discuss with her. So much.He reached the confinement room. He stopped at the door. He looked inside throu
Chapter 34
---*Chapter 34*It was dawn already and Rose and Code X stayed together out of harm's way, although Code X stayed in the jail room except when they went to the main room to plan together.The bunker was quiet. Too quiet for a place that was supposed to be safe. The only sound was the low hum of the system and the cold buzz of the freezer.Rose who was asleep for some hours has woken up to take some water when she realised something.Her throat was dry. She stood up slowly, her eyes still heavy with sleep, and walked barefoot to the kitchen corner. She opened the cabinet for a cup, but then her eyes caught it.Code X had a picture of a woman on his freezer wall.She froze.The woman seemed beautiful. Really beautiful. Long hair, soft smile, the kind of smile that makes a man look at peace. And they both seemed related. No, not just related. Rose leaned closer.She confirmed this when she saw the both of them snapping together and he pecked her cheek. His arm was around her waist, poss
