A week has passed after my little trip with Byron. After resurfacing and surrendering ourselves to Skyr, who was way beyond mad that we ran off, I was punished for three whole days. But only for the fact that I disturbed the other squad when they were training.
Jack did hinted to me that Skyr only gave me a light punishment because he was pretty much proud and impressed at
The air left my lungs the moment a huge part of the stone pillar fell on me. I was able to brace myself for the impact a bit and got a few air into my lungs before I was submerged into the water. I bit my lips just to keep the air and my eyes struggled to see and adjust to the salty water as I kept on descending. It finally stopped when I was pinned down between a spiky and coral on a jagged rock and the piece of the stone pillar. I felt the rocks digging into the skin of my waist and I saw blood flowing into the water.
I dodged an incoming jab and kick. I rolled to the side and swung my foot in an arc and tripped the training robot dummy. As I fell, I raised my fist and smashed the robotic dummy’s head into pieces.I did not stop there as I jumped out of the way when a spear was thrown in my direction. Another one was heading my way, faster this time. I slapped its punch to the sid
I watched as the people that suspected the intruders were groaning in pain as a medical drone came to aid them. I was awkwardly holding a cup of juice as I watched guiltily as the drone sprayed some anti bacterial and healing accelerant fluid to their wounds. It helped close their wounds but not the bruises that they got from me.Rachel perched her arm on my left shoulder
I have to remind myself that the demigod was still a teenager and that he still acts goofily at times, but this is just ridiculous. I don’t know what he’s playing at or why he is here, but he could just come in here normally. If not then maybe he could have at least worn something...normal.Whatever he is wearing right now is just silly. And what’s worse
“So I am not supposed to do anything?” I asked Skyr as I watched outside of the window of the submarine. I was sitting beside Skyr in the sub while the other members of the squad were seated at the back. I looked behind us to see that they were all preparing and attaching their protective gears on their body. I sighed and slumped on my seat with envy. I would be lying if I say that I wasn’t jealous of them right now. It's not like I want to go and do something dangerous but it feel like I was beeing left out.
The moment that the other left, Skyr brought the sub back underwater and camouflaged it. At the moment we were looking at six different holographic screens - a footage from each of the cameras embedded in the suits of Jack, Eva, Duke, Vie, Gray, and Falco. Skyr and I divided the task where I will monitor 3 and he will monitor the remaining 3. But just as soon as we started, he noticed that I was having difficulty monitoring 3 screens at the same time that he took one screen from my panel and into his.Now I was monitoring only two screens. Jack and Eva’s.“Testing...can you guys hear me?” Skyr pressed a button on the screen that was used to transmit to all members.“What’s up, general?” I could hear Jack’s voice through the radio earpiece that I was wearing. His face was als
The metahuman’s reptilian eyes regarded us carefully before it threw one of its octopus arms towards us. Jack pushed us both to the side and we scrambled to our feet to run. The gator metahuman bellowed behind us.“Nathalia!” Skyr’s voice boomed from my earpiece. “Nathalia, speak to me if you can hear me. What’s going on? I see you running with Jack.”“General? General! We need to leave immediately. A metahuman is attacking us!” I yelled out in a panic as Jack and I jumped on top of the roof of a storage building. We stood with our backs facing each other nervously as we kept a lookout at the gator.“Tell him we need backup. This metahuman can camouflage.” Jack says and I pressed the call button and relayed the same message that Jack just said to Skyr
“Hey, Nat. Long time no see. Well, from your side actually.” He grinned. I propped myself onto my elbow and winced in pain at the bruises on my back. Trei saw my struggle and chuckled. “Hang on. I’ll get it for you.” He says as he reached out behind me and pressed a button on the side of the bed. There was a buzz as the bed started to incline just enough for me to be after to see my old friend.Well, my ex-friend.But at the moment. It seemed like the fight between us never happened because I was just too happy to see a familiar face here with me. “Is it really you?” I asked. “I am not dreaming, am I?” I asked as I reached out to pinch his cheek.Trei slapped my hand away with a laugh as he returned the gesture. “You know that is not how it works. Silly goo
