“Come on sweetie. There are no sharks here.” Eva insisted as soon as Falco and Duke finished attaching the underwater jets on me.
“There.” Falco said as he eyes me from head to toe to check if he was able to attach everything perfectly. “Yeah. This should do well. The jets work like an extension of your body. It was specifically designed to read your suits movement patterns so you can react and dodge like you’re fighting on land. Though it won’t do much when you want to chase someone since the max speed is about 30kph. Of course that is only if you haven’t broken your helmet.” He said and pressed a button on the headband at the back of my head. Not a moment soon and there was now a thick and clear glass in front of me. “If you want to deactivate it just pressed the button that I tapped right behind your ear and it will retract.”
<I missed this. Missed the annoying blabber of the students in the campus. Miss seeing the sight of these wanna be popular rich kids as they marched down the hall. I might even be losing it, but I have to say that it was nice smelling some unfiltered sweat and body odour. I swear in Atlantis, it is all about cleanliness that even if your armpits are sweating under your suit, it won’t even smell.Right now, I am wearing some plain jeans and a white shirt and couldn’t help but miss the fancy white suit from Atlantis. It feels more comfortable to wear than my current outfit. But right now, for the sake of this mission - mine and Rachel’s first mission - I will have to bear with it.“Ugh!” Rachel almost gagged when she came out of the girl’s bathroom and shivered as she sprayed alcohol all over her hands and her purple sleev
As I stared into the metahuman’s eyes I panicked and looked around me nervously. I gulped and used my hands as I pushed the mutant back into the pond in order to hide him. Then I turned to the demigod, who was still rolling on the grass gleefully.“Byron!” I yelled. I saw the demigod perked up and saw my hand momentarily rising up and exposing a bit of the metahuman’s head before I pushed it back in. “The sprinklers!”I was thankful when Byron immediately got my message as he jumped up and raised his palms up before slamming them down and facing the ground.Water started spraying everywhere; both from the building and the garden. Students started to scream and panic as they all came running outside to avoid getting wet.The metah
“What was that thing?” Andrew asked as he looked at the back of the truck once again, where the metahuman was sleeping soundlessly.After we were able to subdue the metahuman, we all leaped out of the window. The boy, Andrew, was pretty shocked and scared at the fact that we were able to jump as high as the gymnasium windows. Byron had to carry a struggling Andrew as Skyr had to carry the meta. Rachel and I were the ones who opened the window after we did some basic cleaning in the gym. Then I called Jack and gave him our location as we hid in a narrow alley until they came and picked us up. Along the way, we made a detour and transferred to a truck that could accommodate us all. Duke and Falco were the ones in the front while the rest of us stayed at the back and sat on the cold metal floor in two lines. Grey, Jack, me Skyr, and the meta frog on one side while Eva, Vie, Andrew, and Rache
I let out a wild grunt as the hold of the intruder loosened because of the mucus all over my body.I then faced my attacker just as the lights went on. I saw Trei with a look of disgust on his face as he wiped the mucus on his green suit.Green? Does that mean he took on agriculture?“What are you doing here?” I hissed at him. Then I remembered his promise that he made to me when he came back. “Have you...have you found my father?”He turned towards me with a grim look on his face. “No. I came here for a different reason.” There was a look on his face that I didn’t like. It was as if I had betrayed him for some reason. “Then what?” I demanded.Trei bit his lip and wiped the mucus off of his cheek with his shoulder. &ld
“Have you guys been to another sector before?” I asked and then Falco pushed my head down on the floor just as a bullet zipped past my head. I looked back at the spot where the bullet met with the wall and saw a patch of red. I gulped.“You won’t even live long enough if the general finds out about you slacking off during training. Remember what he said earlier?”I nodded. “If our squad loses then he will throw us in a water with Byron’s Megalodons?”“You guys called?” Just as we mentioned his name, Byron suddenly appeared behind Falco, making him scream. Dozens of laser pointers were suddenly aimed at us. “SCATTER!” Falco ordered as we scrambled to our feet just to dodge all the paint bullets that were being fired at us. I jumped and hid inside
I opened my palms and pushed the car towards her. There was an irritating skid as the car flew towards her. Rachel jumped up and landed on top of the car that took her back a few feet away from me.Hey eyes widened the moment the skidding stopped and turned to face me. “You really have to learn how to use that strength of yours.” She says.“I was in control.” I grinned as I made a stance, and then I went for her the moment I saw her touching her gun. I was trying to tap on the chip on her chest to get him over with, but Rachel must have been training because she was very fast on her feet.No wonder she was able to outrun a frog metahuman and dodge its attacks. And here I thought I contributed something to their safety while clinging to the back of a mutant frog.
I stared at the ceiling as the scene started to change. The blue sky, that was created by a hologram, was now replaced by the dull lighting ceiling in the training room. I felt my body being slowly lowered down on the ground as the pixels of the building that we were lying on started to dissipate.I saw Jack looking down at me with an awkward smile on his face. “Come on.” He offered me a hand, which I took, and allowed him to pull me up. I dusted my butt and saw my other teammates heading towards us with a really nervous look on their faces.“Huddle up, team. I would hate to see the general knowing that we lost.” Falco says through his nervous smiles.“It was a close call though.” Duke says and places a hand on my shoulder with a nod of approval. “It was just a millisecond d
Skyr raised an eyebrow at Byron’s question. “Fifi?”“She’s the one and only piliosaur.” Byron says and explains to him what kind of creature she is. Meanwhile, I slowly backed away until I was beside my other team.“Guys? Would it be rude to decline a demigod’s request?” I whispered to them while still looking at the exchange between Byron and Skyr.“Yes.”“Definitely.”“Of course.”“Yep.”“Sweetie, no one says no to the demigod unless you’re a general like Skyr.”
