Path To Power Novels & Stories

"Dumbass, to disconnect all mini Aftrollers powered by your mum" "But why is my powers needed if they are already making use of mum's own" I asked. She stopped the bike in front of an abandoned warehouse. "Because she can only power the mini Aftrollers. Yours are needed to power the main Aftroller which will make the whole of Africa bow before America." " Oh now I get". I said as I alighted front the bike and removed the helmet from my head. She made a call and the garage door to the warehouse opened.

Shocked by the unexpected attack, she then heard Jayson's voice filled with frustration and anger. "Can you stop fu*king making me feel so pathetic, Hattiea? I am here to fu*king talk!"

Tyree explained. Emma’s eyes lit up a little. “If you ever need help, please let me know. I think it would be cool to experience. Blacktree really lacked in the nature department.” Tyree gave her a nod of approval. “Sector four houses the infrastructure for the power grid. To power a pack this size requires a specific finesse,” Johnson smirked. We all chuckled because we knew how much shit he had to figure out to keep everything up and going. We would all be royally fucked and thrown into the dark ages without him.

Liam said, gesturing for the vanguard to file in first before following Anna into the darkness of the spire. The interior was a tomb of forgotten technology. Rows of dead consoles stretched into the gloom, their screens dark and coated in a thick layer of dust. The only light came from the open doorway and the faint glow of Anna's pad. "The primary power junction should be in the lower sub-level," Anna said, her boots clicking loudly against the metal grating of the floor as she moved toward a central terminal. "If the main copper lines are still intact, I can jump-start the system using the battery from my sync-pad."

"In that case, I'll take you to meet a friend." Nore then dragged me toward the second floor of the house. Along the way, she shot someone in the crowd a look. Susan received the signal and smiled as she called out to the guests. "I prepared a birthday video specially for today's party. Everyone, look at the big screen later!" Meanwhile, Nora led me farther away from the noisy crowd to a quiet corner on the second floor. She opened the door and shoved me inside again. I stumbled a few steps forward, and the door slammed behind me.

The floor was a network of iron grates with thousands of gallons of water rushing through turbines keeping the towns from being flooded. "The grid" Jasmine whispered, her voice hollow as she leaned against a row of electrical transformers. Her eyes were fixed on the walls, where thick copper pipes ran toward the ceiling carrying power to the watchtowers. "We are beneath the central garrison, Elara, if you release the boy's energy here it will not just hit the fence, it will hit the main power hub."

Sometimes— it watches. It waits. And when it finally moves…

Maxime Pov The Northpoint house party is a beast all its own—a living, sweating, pulsing animal with bad intentions and zero chill. Every breath I take is thick with cheap beer, tequila fumes, and too many different brands of overpriced cologne. It’s sensory overload—the walls vibrate with bass so heavy it shakes my insides, lights flicker strobe patterns over faces I mostly recognize and wish I didn’t. Navigating this place is war; shoulders bump mine, someone spills a drink down my arm, and my boots stick to floors that haven’t seen a mop since move-in day.

She realized with a shiver that the forest itself was a participant in this trial, its energy reacting to her intentions, rewarding courage and punishing hesitation. Damon moved closer, his presence a steadying force as he whispered, “Do not let them intimidate you. Remember, power without focus is chaos. Let the bond guide you, trust yourself.” His hand brushed hers again, sending warmth and confidence through her veins, and she felt her control solidify, the chaotic surge of energy within her settling into a deliberate rhythm.

Realization set in as she watched the ebb and flow of power. “There are multiple electrical endpoints all over the settlement,” she said. “Many of which house relay transmitters, which is where the orders are coming from. But their source of power does not come from the settlement’s outer generators.” She pored over the data, and saw where electrical lines seemed to end, and yet power still flowed through normally. Then she approximated where she believed the true power source was, and sent a ping to everyone. “I believe that they have a hidden, shielded bunker inside the hill,” she continued. “Approximately 50 meters right below us.”
