Underwater City of Lagos.
2:30PM
23/3/2030.
Alpha scanned the logged account of every persons that came in and went out of the Underwater City. Just as he had been doing every three minutes.
"How long do we stay here?" Asked Temi. "I'm getting antsy staying in a single place. It reminds me of those times in the labs."
Alpha took on his holographic form and sat beside her.
"We have to lay low for awhile, Temi. To keep you safe. To keep everyone safe. Just be a little more patient."
She sighed heavily, "Any interesting activity for me then?"
"There are game options. Fury and Fun."
"It's been so long." The teen clapped in excitement. "I want to play Fury."
"I need permission from your dad first."
Temi groaned.
"It's for-"
"Yes. Yes, I know. For my own good." Temi fin

Somewhere in Nigeria,In the Hovercar.24, 3, 2030."This is all your fault!" Those words were all it took for the foreboding silence to leave.Ire, with red-rimmed eyes, stained cheeks, and runny nose, glared at his big sister. She wasn't even his big sister. She was just some metallic rubbish they made to look like his sister. His sister is dead. If it were even possible, he was more enraged.He watched the robot wince and fold itself. It shed crocodile tears and hugged its arms around itself."I wish you weren't my sister. I wish you were never born!" He continued to glare, fisting his palms to balls."Enough!" His father barked. He had been quiet the whole time seeming to have lost touch with reality. Alpha had driven them away from the scene of the crime."If it weren't for her," Ire continued pointing at the thing they keep telling him was his sis

Kogi state,27/3/2030.9:30pm.The hovercars sped across the starry night sky. Tall buildings shone lights of different colors; red, yellow, green, and blue. Afro-pop blasted from various speakers and few pedestrians danced below. Others stopped in their tracks and watched the dancers occasionally cheering and applauding.Their freedom and wide smiles contrasted with the gloomy looks of the family locked in the bluish-green hovercar.Temi looked down from the window at the dancers and spectators. She pressed her face and hands on the glass with wonder and longing. She gasped in awe at a man who wore masquerade robes. As he twirled, the lights reflected on his colorful attire creating a flowing fan of sparkling colors.Temp could just imagine Ire amongst them having fun. With a huge smile on his face, he would be dancing with them. If not because of her...She brushed her long

Kogi state,28/3/2030.1:00pm."Okay everyone. Get out. Let's take a rest. Stretch, jog, walk... do whatever you want but don't go far," said Dayo, not looking up from the 1 o'clock news on his Celo.The two children climbed down from the hovercar. Dayo had parked the auto by a park. It was peaceful, wide, and flowing with green. There was an ice cream shop, a watering fountain of a woman pouring water from her gourd, a gift shop, and a slide. Some kids rode their hoverboards and bikes and others took pictures.This is perfect for me to disappear. Hopefully, they would leave without me, Temi thought."So how much further can you see from here, Alpha?" asked Temi."A few metres. Please, don't go far you two. I need to reboot and clean up the virus spikes Third sent me the other day," replied Alpha."How long will it take for you to reboot?" Ire asked.

Kogi state,28/3/20303:00pmHe didn't trust him.Ire eyed the boy that Alpha read to be Elijah warily. Elijah hugged his bagpack to his chest looking around in awe. Ire wasn't surprised. After all, this was the latest V-HL hovercar edition.He pulled the sleeves of his grey t-shirt up the elbow and folded his arms. Everything about Elijah seemed suspicious. Who still uses pre-change materials? Even his grandparents, when they were still alive, were more sophisticated. Most runaways Ire saw didn't carry this sort of things around. Besides, why did he jump out of the auto-trans with Temi?Unless, he was working for the government. Spies are always the ones pretending to live a boring life, aren't they?He shifted his gaze to the two in the front seats. His father was still berating Temi for running away. Whatever he was saying was blocked off to his hearing.H

Ovic Inc.1/4/2030.8:00am.It was silent. Just the way she loved it.She prowled the lab searching for records of Reborns. Third ran her fingers over the smooth crystal desk and a four by five index boxes glowed blue.It's a combination, she thought to herself and grunted in frustration. What on Earth was the combination?The beeper fused into her wrist beeped. The Creator needed her. She glanced around the room with a keen eye noting the white clean environment, the inbuilt clear shelves containing vials of different chemicals, the dormant robots and robotic arms, and an old fashioned blood bank(?)Her wrist beeped again. She grumbled under her breath and exit the room. As she strolled the hall passage, Third felt the watchful gaze of someone on her. The alert in her blared warning signs. Something was wrong.Kogi State

Kogi state,1/4/203012:00pm“Doctor, we've got NSS on our tail,” Alpha reported.“What?!” Ire exclaimed. Ire immediately eyed Elijah in suspicion. The other boy just rolled his eyes, disgruntled.A holographic GPS appeared before them all. They all had their heads raised watching the five green dots heading their way. Their car was marked green on the map and it was speeding fast. No doubt it was drawing the attention of fellow vehicle riders. And it did!People gawked, wondering if there was a street racing on. They were even more bewildered when they saw five green with white polka dotted security speed after the blue hovercar.While the onlookers were fascinated, the figures in the pursued vehicle gripped their seats in anxiety.Alpha did well with the speed and controls of the car. He hacked the traffic lights setting the road

NSS HQ BASEAbuja1/4/2030“What do you mean you lost them?!”General Otunba frowned at Dr. Yomi's audacity. Who does he think he is that he deems it fit to yell at the one and only General Otunba.“Johnson is very intelligent,” Otunba mustered, “I underestimated him.”“It wasn't obvious before?”If only he could wrap his hands around the obnoxious fat man's neck. Otunba took comfort in imagining Yomi dead and exhaled with a smile. He leaned in his black leather seat and interlaced his fingers.“I have a plan-” He stated to say when a red dial appeared on the screen glaring at him. “I'll call you back. The President is calling me.”He put Yomi off the line before he could say anything else and answered the call from the President.“Your Excellency,” Otunba greeted with a salute.The man had a scowl deeper tha

Aso Rock.2/4/20305:30pm“Any news?” Stephen asked, playing with a early twentieth century cubic.“No,” Dora's disembodied voice replied, “at least not on the news or from Otunba's platoon.”“Have you found them yet?”“Almost, Stephen. Give me an hour,” she said. Tiny white pixels gathered together and formed Dora's feminine hologram.“We need to find them before he does, Dora.”“I understand,” she said and lightly patted his shoulder.Nassarawa2/4/20306:00pmThey didn't seem like terrorists. They didn't talk like one so why was the government after them?Elijah observed as each of them got lost in their own heads. He wished they'd just tell him what was going on. He has been traveling with them for a while now, even got attacked too. Why didn't they trust him t
