Chapter 30 Gator
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

Chapter 31 Old Friend
“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

Chapter 32 One on One with Skyr
I let out a yell as I threw in a punch one after another at my sparring partner  - Falco. Falco did not expect that I would be an aggressive partner that he narrowly dodged my first punch and had to block my second blow.“Ow! Hey, easy there. What’s with you today?” Falco says after jumping back to avoid my kick. “And I thought sparring with you would be a little bit relaxing since your back is bruised.”I lowered my stance immediately as soon as I realized that I was venting out my frustration at Falco. I didn’t sleep much that night because of Trei that I missed morning practice. Skyr didn’t punish me for it - thankfully. “Sorry, Falco.”“Hey, it’s cool.” Falco waved a hand. “I just didn’t expect you to go all out. Now, come o

Chapter 33 Hotpot
The afternoon training went by without a hitch and Skyr no longer bothered me after that. Moreover, it felt like he was being conscious of me because I kept catching him sneaking glances at me.As I was preparing myself to leave, Eva grabbed my arm. When I looked at him he pointed at Skyr. “The general wants to talk to you.”I looked at the general after that to see him flinch when our eyes met. Then he started to look away with his arms crossed as if Jack was more interesting to look at. Then he frowned when he saw Jack pointing a finger at him and laughing. I saw Skyr gripping his teeth and cracked his knuckles before heading over to beat up Jack.I looked back at Eva with a raised brow. “Are you sure he wants to talk to me? Because right now I feel like he wants to turn Jack into a pulp.”

Chapter 34 Underwater Combat
“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.”

Chapter 35 University
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

Chapter 36 Gym
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

Chapter 37 Have you heard of Atlantis?
“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

Chapter 38 Trei
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

Chapter 39 Squad B vs Squad C
“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
