This is just a Beta. or in other words a prologue of what is to come.
I am planning on developing the protagonist to be a weakling first.

This is going to be an event 3 years in the future of the timeline of the story.


Project Elemental Engineer

Phase 1: the kid who is called the Elemental Engineer

It is on the current time, in a province somewhere around Asia. Screams are heard from a leader of an evil organization.
It was no other than that rumored weapons dealer of the east. But if you look closely, he begs his life from a guy whose arm covered in flames.

"Merci. Please have mercy."

He is killed in an instant by that assassin. His body burns to crisp along with the manor from a top of a cliff.

Seems the name of a man who wields elements as weapons became a hot thread even in the forums. There is also a rumor of a powerful military organization who can utilize the power of elements. He crafts the powers from fire, ice, lightning and so on from any earthly material around him.
But no witnesses confirmed to see or describe the face of the person who wields it. They also believed the one who uses it is most probably not a human being. For a human body to be able to soak his entire body in flames is already an impossible feat.
It was just an urban legend on the underground forums. It is now known as a myth by many.

Meanwhile on a foggy night inside a big fishing boat, the marine patrol inspects the passengers. He focuses his flashlight on the passengers to see if they are alright.

"Are you still with me people? I hope you land lubbers don't get sea sick."

Turon Kinawayan is sitting at the back along with the freeloaders on the cargo bay. He sleeps along with the poultry and luggage.
Several people beside him are coughing a lot and quite probably sick. They are just waiting for the boat to arrive at port Falacei.
Turon's destination is the path leading to the province of Por Tigrezes. Just near the border of the country of Falacei.
The ship's horns can be heard. It signals that they now arrived to port.
The marines lowered the bridge and unloaded the cargo. Turon Kinawayan goes outside as he adapts his eyes to the brightness outside.
Once he is fine, Turon Kinawayan took the next bus towards his next destination.

Somewhere on that small province, the church bell ringing, the birds are happy singing on the roof. The kids are happy frolicking on the street, the smiling peddler shouting fresh fruits. That is some of the sounds you hear on the street. On daylight that is.
What you don't know is scary. This must be a facade that they use to hide themselves from morning till dawn. Just like an act staged on a theater to throw tourists and travelers off.
Turon Kinawayan is one of the travelers but he is not here for sightseeing, he is however on a business of his own. He does love the salty breeze coming from the beach as he passes by. The town is near the ocean and the clear blue water reflecting to the bus is just breath taking.
Another eye catcher there is the restaurant completely made of bamboo that happens to be a fish pond. You get to eat on a bridge above the pool of water and above are trees that provide shade from the sun. But little they know that something else is a bit off to this place.
Turon Kinawayan meets his client there. Before he can approach him, he is frisked by men wearing suits of barong to make sure their boss will not be harmed.

"I seek the man of the name Marco Standrake. Has he arrived?" Turon replies.
"Unfortunately you will not be meeting our boss in person. I, Agramon Enderfoon will be your host and will doing the transactions."
"I see no problem in it as long as substantial payment is posted."

Agramon asked one of the bodyguards to bring the briefcase. They unlocked the case and showed stacks of money inside.
The guard locked it again and placed it slowly on the middle of the table.
"We can only give you half until the job is done, half of the 10 million dollars in the suitcase."
"Fair enough, however I find 10 million is a bit cheap."

Agramon raised his voice. "How dare you! Just who do you think you are to haggle with us!?"
The guards surround Turon Kinawayan while some of them tuck their hands behind their backs preparing to pull their guns or handcuffs.
Turon Kinawayan remained poised on his seat acting like he is not fazed at all.

"That is enough Agramon!" shouted by an old man. "We need this programmer to repair the device-."
"Are you sure this kid is able to do it? He doesn't look like a programmer to me."
"The kid is more than capable for the job. I would put everyone here in great danger if you are to insult him so!"
Agramon did not speak anymore.

The old man's eyes somehow feel fear towards Turon Kinawayan. However Turon does not do anything to threaten the old man. He doesn't even wear those wicked eyes unlike the guards who glare at him. He is just an ordinary kid who looks and act innocent.

"I will double the price. I am paying you 20 million. Just repair the device please."

Turon Kinawayan slowly took the briefcase away. The atmosphere grows more intense for the guards still do not accept what they see.
A kid whose age is only 15 making deals with dangerous people is a direct insult. Normal people would tremble on their knees and do not think twice upon making demands.
But the kid walks away like it was nothing. He acts like it was just a normal day at the office, as ordinary as they come.

Not far from where the device is in, several programmers are hooking up a wrist watch to a computer trying to hack the programming codes. The weird watch is carefully hidden inside a wooden box disguised as the potteries.
One of the workers said that the superiors are overreacting on hauling secretly a bunch of ordinary wrist watches. The chief supplier says that the design do not hold any concerns but rather their capabilities.
One of the programmers says that they already have the root program but it was completely scrambled in codes. The chief supplier claims that no matter how good they are, they won't be able to crack the insanely complex program. Much more that it is in a scrambled language that has multiple layers and encryption locks. The wrist watch codes are sophisticated that the military created even a custom Operating System so that their wares do not fall to wrong hands.
They will need help from someone who can understand complex codes to do the reprogramming. That is why they hire the kid named Turon Kinawayan to do it.

Turon arrived at the warehouse at the appointment time of 1 am in the morning. The workers asked why Turon decides to meet up at 1am. Turon explained that delicate procedures need to be made on late hours to lessen distractions.

A programmer offered Turon a seat in front of a desktop computer but Turon declined. Turon pulled out a laptop computer from his bag. He pulled some wires and cables and started hooking them on the wrist watch.
He started an application on the desktop and the computer popped up 20 purging programs at the same time.
The screen went ballistic with popup windows coming in one after the other containing scrolling codes on the monitor like crazy. The computer process feels like it was forced booted by the anti hacking software in the wrist watch.
The team of IT, who are previously assigned to do the reprogramming, laughs at Turon looking down on him as a novice.
Turon just waited for the program pop-up's to stop. Slowly the message and alert windows decreased in numbers. The programmers assume Turon?s Laptop computer is also slowing down.
As soon as the last alert screen appeared on the screen, Turon opened a root program code and typed in several programs. He started with a code "Music" and the boot screen loads up that is inside the programming the wrist watch.

Some of the programmers are shocked and amazed. Some can't believe what Turon just did.
A blue window appeared showing a welcome screen. It says "Kaiser Military Amplification System Project."

"It asks for a user name. May I please have the name of the person who is going to run this?" Turon asks.
"I will be the one to wield." Agramon Enderfoon replies to Turon.
Turon typed in Agramon Enderfoon and entered that person's fingerprints. He also performed a retina Scan and a DNA signature to complete the pre requirement log in.

"I successfully hacked the program of the military motherboard so that you can use it anytime. May I suggest a test run?"
"That is an excellent suggestion. I will do just that."

The laborers asked what is so special about the wrist watch and why it has so many security restrictions. Agramon replied to further understand is to see it in person.

"Our group, the Dimagiba Trading Company branch station 27 will now demonstrate the weapon. With it, is also our moment we raise our ranks!"
Agramon strapped in the watch to his wrist and focused his mind to activate the device. The device soon activates. Agramon's body is emitting something that causes the atmosphere around him to change like steam.
Agramon closes his fist and places it gently against the wall. He inhales in to prepare and strikes a one two combination punch following a right roundhouse kick.
The blows he created are solid. The way he attacks is like the wall is made of soft mud that can easily pummel. Debris flies around and the wall crumbles.

"What the heck was that!?" by one of the surprised workers.
The chief supplier smiles and enjoys what he sees.

"The Aura shield engine powered by the amplification system motherboard in the wrist watch." Turon replied.
"That is correct. Impressive combination if I may add. This is also my ultimate setup for a close combat fighter like me." Agramon added
"But such a combat build will fall upon a long range fighter. Also using the Amplification system Motherboard as the source energy is not a balanced power supply. That chip requires more power from a different motherboard."

[coldfire01]

Agramon laughed at what Turon just said. Agramon also encouraged his men not to listen to a lowly programmer. Agramon looked at Turon saying not to speak a word anymore. Turon understands and he did not speak.

The sponsors are completely pleased. They inquire about the mass production of the illegal wares.

“Mass production will be in process as soon as we complete our custom firmware for the other products. The framework for the software will be based on what you witnessed today as our first prototype.” Agramon proudly replied.”

The sponsors are satisfied with the confident response from Agramon. They expect great things from these guys. Many of them are now transferring funds on the Dimagiba Trading Company for the speedy production.
Turon Kinawayan became Chief Software Engineer leading the production of the latest “hacked” military weapons. It was unknown what military it came from. But what is much stranger is Turon knows a lot more about these weapons.
Some of the programmers gossip about Turon as a former Militaria programmer. Some say he might be just a spy that is still working for them.
Not long that rumors spread and it reaches Agramon. He also has doubts about Turon’s identity for being able to unlock the program.

Agramon called up with Turon to meet him in private. The rendezvous point is at the private beach resort that they own so that no one can see them.
When Turon arrived at the area, Agramon asks Turon to let the programmers take a look at what is installed on Turon’s laptop Computer. Turon showed the program and the programmers verified it to be genuine.
Agramon took the laptop away and gave it to one of his men for safekeeping. Agramon became hostile ordering to capture Turon. Turon is now surrounded by men wearing the devices he just programmed.

“We give thee our thanks for the gifts you provided. But alas, your services ends and so is you.”
“I believe betrayal is a pathetic option for you know I have better advantage. You sir, forget that I have the farthest control on the devices you wield.”

Turon pulled up a switch from his pocket. He pressed the buttons and all of the men who surrounded him suddenly stop moving. They are restricted to move by the same devices that are used to power them.

“I expected that you are plotting something like this. I was right. I knew I smelled a rat from the start!” Agramon shouts.
“I am no rat and also I do not have any intentions on harming you or anyone else.”
“Save your words to someone who will listen, brat.”
“Believe me that what I say is true. My plan is just to gather information, the location of your -so called- main headquarters.”
“And what makes you think that we are about to tell you that.”
“It is unfortunate that you say nothing. Now that you know who I am I simply cannot allow you to exist.”

Agramon is furious with the utmost confidence the kid is showing. He then uses his own original device that Turon did not program.

“You are highly mistaken if you think you are the only Militaria former then you got another thing coming?”
“You sir are already mistaken. I am not from Militaria or any popular group at all.”
“It is unfortunate for you, kid. I am quite impressed with your identity as a double agent. You can receive pay from us and you will be paid by your employer. A greedy strategy indeed but now you will perish before you can live your days in wealth!”

Agramon rushed toward Turon with speed beyond human reflexes. He threw a roundhouse kick on Turon but Turon dodged it.
Agramon continued a barrage of assaults against Turon. Turon just dodged it every time.

“Hold still while I hit you.” While Agramon catches his breath.
“Sure if you insist.” Turon confidently replied.

Turon guards the roundhouse kick coming from Agramon. The impact was solid. There is a solid sound of impact coming from both the arm of Turon and the knee of Agramon.
But it was strange. Turon didn’t fly from the impact. He barely moved at all.
Agramon attacked again with thrusting his foot toward Turon’s stomach. Turon took the blow but he still did not move. You can still see the impression coming from the shoe of Agramon on Turon’s shirt.
Agramon became upset and he throws a lot of random barrages and pummeled Turon.
Agramon stopped after releasing nearly a hundred punches.
“What is going on here? No one can survive those insane blows. Tanks crumble to the punches and kick I just released.”

Turon just tidied up his shirt and removed the dust.

“What sorcery is this? What is the ability you use!?” Agramon shouts.
“Sorcery? I do not know anything such. We live in a world of scientific discoveries and advancements.”
“Feigning ignorance I see?”

Agramon pulled up a gun. He later placed it in front and meditates.
“Amplification system ready!”

The gun absorbs the nearly invisible energy coming from Agramon. The gun is creating a humming sound and the metal starts to shine. It looks like the material from the gun is starting to improve solidification.

“Let’s see if this doesn’t have an effect against you.” Agramon replies

Turon changed his stance. He quickly moved back and hid behind a tree. He places his right palm against the trunk and starts to meditate.

“Now die!” Agramon shouts

Agramon shoots the gun. The noise created is louder though it is just a normal pistol. But what is much amazing is the impact. Once it hits Turon who is behind the tree, it explodes like a bazooka.

“Amplification System Motherboard powering up a 9mm caliber! Eat that kid.”Agramon replied
The henchmen are pleased with the overkill. They await the smoke to lift so that they can see what Turon looks like after the blast.
Seconds later, they see a shadow from the smoke. It was no other than Turon Kinawayan with just his shirt all busted out and his short pants grazed.
Much more that Turon’s arm is glowing with a red light. It was too fast to see it and it already returned back to normal.

“My turn then.” Turon replied

Turon placed his palm on the remainder of the tree. He also whispers.
“Elemental Engineering ready.”

[coldfire01]

The tree violently crumpled as it is like being sucked with its nutrients. It also loses color and starts turning into ash.

One of the guards panics to what they heard. Turon just said Elemental Engineer!

“So what about it?” Agramon shouts
“Elemental Engineering is a popular monster of ability, the one who can craft the elements around him as his weapons.” One of the guards replies.
“The old wives rumor huh?”
“If he is the real deal, then he is branded top dangerous.”
“He is just throwing those words to make us cower and hide. I will not listen to him!”
“But what if he is the real deal, then we put ourselves to danger by angering a monster.”

Turon prepares to attack. He then charges up that nearly invisible energy around him and gathers it on his palm.
He closes his hand forming a fist squeezing it more. He aims toward Agramon and uses his left hand for better accuracy.
Turon spoke “Release” and his arm shoots a strong blast of flames gushing towards Agramon. The flame he released is like a ferocious geyser of flames from a flame thrower. The fire also has a bright color of yellow meaning it is concentrated. That is why it doesn’t sway on any other direction.
Some of Agramon’s troops are completely torched from that attack. Turon continued attacking until the other henchmen decides to leave.

“It is just you and me Agramon. Drop your weapons and surrender.”

Agramon is very upset to surrender. He still continued to attack Turon Kinawayan with the last drop of his strength.

Turon Kinawayan burned Agramon once he reached him. Turon feels empty for killing Agramon for he is just following orders. But for his mission, there is no room for failure. Now that his identity is known, he must ask Marco Standrake for the location of Dimagiba headquarters.

“He shouldn’t have perished if he just followed my advice. My only wish is for the whereabouts of the official heads forming the Dimagiba Trading Company. I just want to kill them all!”

Turon Kinawayan decided to go to where Marco Standrake is. Before that, he changed his clothes since they are already dirty.
Just after he got outside the hotel, an unusual roar echoes the village. Turon doesn’t like that sound. It is like it is made from a sudden burst of energy.
Turon ran as fast as he can to determine the source. He arrived to the fishpond and saw the house and several others in flames.

“Is this the work of the officials of Dimagiba? Are they trying to hide the evidence?”

In the middle of the fires that burn, there arises the man in a black hood holding a huge crescent scythe on his right hand. He drags Marco Standrake’s with just one hand by his neck so that the other Dimagiba can see. Marco is unable to fight back anymore due to his serious injuries.
When the wind blows, Turon managed to see the face of the one wearing a cape. That man has an innocent face whose hair is black and his hair stretches to his cheek. His eyes are cold like there is no expression coming from it.
Even the flames fear that man. The flames are moving away like they have life in it. He wields that huge Crescent Scythe like it is meant to annihilate multiple enemies. The Scythe’s handle has a weird gothic carving and is taller than him. The blade is wider than his head and possesses a completely evil presence that made your hair stands on end. The blade also has a weird sound when it approaches the wooden foundations. The wood crumbles and the grass quickly rots when it is nearby.

“What the heck is he? This guy reek bad news all over him.”

Seconds later, a girl also with a black hood, jumps in front of the guy with a scythe. She reports that all programmers are accounted for. All of them have been exterminated except for a young chief programmer with age of 15.

“A young programmer who is only 15 years old, isn’t he that guy over there?” said by the guy with the big Scythe while he slowly point a finger towards Turon.

Turon feels a tremendous chill climbing up to his spine for he is now the target of that guy. He runs away but a girl with the hood was too fast. She is already behind Turon before he can escape.

The girl slowly removes her blindfold. “Whatever I see shall die. Look into my eyes.”
“Don’t kill the child yet Mariella.” The guy with a big Scythe says.
“Why do you stop me Dymitrei? Isn’t he the one who provided this group the strength?”
“Not all battles are about random blood baths. We might find this jewel beneficial if properly shined and placed on a crest.”

Turon did not speak a word.

The man with a scythe removes his hood and shows his face. “My name is Dymitrei Virtuxin. What is your name Child?”
“Turon Kinawayan.”
“Turon Kinawayan huh? Such a weird name for a Superior Weapons Hacker.”
“The abilities are not measured by the name but rather to the capabilities of the person.”
“Such a pity but I have to disagree. Names in my world completely describe their purpose. “
“Sorry but I don’t live in your world.”
“Such a reckless response coming from a novice. Anyway what is your hacker code name?”

Turon did not reply on that question.

“What is the matter? Speak child!”

“I am the Elemental Engineer.” Turon hesitantly replied.

Dymitrei didn’t speak this time. He pulls that huge scythe and prepares to slice Turon Kinawayan.

Turon prepares as well. He is also thinking of dodging but thinks it would not be a smart move. The scythe of his opponent could possess some high level of radiation causing anything to rot. Even if he dodges the blade, the radiation will hit him if it is within the area. Turon’s only option is to attack faster than Demitrei in order for him to win.
Turon stretches his arms. He prepares to gather his power again. But before Turon is able to attack, a phone ring disturbs them both. Demitrei placed the handle of his scythe to his shoulder while the blade is pressed against his back. He pulls his cell phone from his pocket and answers the call.

“Attorney Virtuxin here what is it?”

Demitrei just listen more to the phone.

“I see. I will be there in 3 hours.”

Demitrei violently threw the scythe towards a strange coffin. A black liquid comes gushing out forming several arms that catches the blade. The scythe is pulled inside the coffin and the cover is closed by the black hands.

“Is that a client calling you?” asks by the blindfolded girl.
“No. It was a call from my foster daughter.” Demitrei replies.
“So times up huh?”
“Afraid so.”
“How about the hacker? Do we have to let him live?”
“He doesn’t pose as a problem. Not yet that is.”

Turon didn’t like what Demitrei just said. He wants to fight back but he feels Demitrei is just too strong. There was just too much gap between the two of them.
Turon understands that once he got hit by that radiated scythe, his body will quickly rot from the massive toxic exposure spreading to his body. His tissues will instantly decay by the mere contact from it.
Another thing is Demitrei is able to allow contact for the scythe with his bare skin. Demitrei must have built his body customized with anti radiation substances. A good assumption that he could possibly magnify the radiation level, further, using the amplification motherboard. Demitrei’s attack could scatter ferociously to an unpredictable range around him.

“You are a lucky child. Fate has been quite generous to you.” said by the blindfolded woman.
“Wait, come back here. We are not yet finished. Scumbags from Dimagiba Trading Company!” said by Turon Kinawayan.

Demitrei and the woman in a blindfold stopped and looked at each other.

“I believed you are mistaken. We are not part of that group.” The blindfolded woman replies.
“Don’t compare us to those bloodthirsty monsters. We are here for a mission to make sure that those guys do not show their despicable faces. Don’t tell me you are hunting them too?” Demitrei replies.

Turon lowers his head down and hides his sad expression on his face.
“No. I just want to find my childhood friend Maya who joined that group. That is why I desperately seek for them.” Turon Kinawayan replies.
“What a stupid thing to do! You are just wishing death in finding them. Hear my advice, you should just forget about your friend. Words cannot describe how dangerous they are for they….” Blinded woman replies.
Demitrei pats the blinded woman’s shoulder “No need to tell the boy out of it. No matter how much you talk him out of it, this guy will never listen.”
“But still...” The blindfolded woman wants to speak anymore but she suddenly dropped her disputes after seeing Demitrei’s serious face.
“Just watch your backs kid. The path you are about to take is filled with danger.” Demitrei replies.

Demitrei summoned another coffin from a warp gate coming from the ground. He enters the coffin while being pulled by the black hands inside. Like a vampire he closes the lid and the coffin is sucked down again from the warp hole.
The woman removes her cloak and opens her blindfold. She is also a beautiful woman with black hair that stretches to her hips. She opens her eyes and the space suddenly cracks. It is like there was a solid substance in the air that broke like glass and she summoned a portal from it. She enters the portal and closes it as well.

Turon is amazed with the power of the guys he just met. He can’t stop smiling just after the two left.

“Phew that was fun. Those guys are really scary.”
“I just hope I won’t see them again in the future. Even though they are not from the Dimagiba Trading Company their existence are still way too dangerous.”

Project Elemental Engineer

Phase 2: Behind the scenes

A long time ago there is a group who is above any living race.
They call themselves “GODS”.
Legends say that one of them can command the lightning bolts in the sky using his hammer.
There is another one who commands the seas using his spear and several others.

These “GODS” are capable of extending their life spans.
They call themselves the “superior beings” that has knowledge that is so advanced even our modern technology pale comparison against their levels.
Some say that their technology is probably centuries farther than what we currently have.

These “GODS” proved themselves higher than human beings.
Thus they began to exclude themselves creating a world of their own.
Not long that they become arrogant, selfish, thinking that they are the most powerful species in the planet.
They have soon to forget that these, so called “superior beings”, are once human themselves.

Centuries have passed and the treasures they own no longer exist in this world.
Not until 10 years ago in Earth’s current calendar, several powerful names have managed to create a portal leading to the existing realm of the GODS.
They seek to acquire the treasures, their weapons and technology that made by the superior beings.

A secret war has started and several young men and women paid with their lives just to ensure the tragedies of the past never to repeat again.

Many died valiantly however no one knows they even existed.
Heroes paid with their lives never got to be written down to any books.
In a war that several people believe it never existed.

To those heroes, it doesn’t matter if they are not commended or recognized.
As long as the powers will not be revived, the tools GODS used, that has the capability to inflict greater damage to the world.

10 years has passed. The GOD technology has not entered the realm of earth.
However there are certain devices appearing out of nowhere that has a similar concept to the GOD Technology.
And that is the Energy Manipulation Motherboards and Amplification System Motherboards.

Devices that science cannot explain, they have their own rules that defies any logic or explanation.
They have crafts that are so small that is hidden inside normal accessories.
Weapons that are deadly and they can be hidden in regular wrist watches, belts, bracelets, earrings and so on.
There are 2 major types of boards. One of them is the Amplification System Motherboard’s (ASM) that stabilizes and unlock the true capabilities of a human being. It is also capable of enhancing and amplifies the normal organic and non organic structures.
Another one is the Energy Manipulation Motherboard (EMM) that is capable of controlling the energy structure forming it into weapons.
May it be Melee or Range attacks, the Energy Manipulation comes in a variety of designs depending on the architecture.
It can be in a form of heat, magnetic, or electricity.

At first many believe that there were only 2 types of motherboards.
But now there are newer models of motherboards that are starting to emerge.
One example is the Elemental Engineering Motherboard which is treated as an absurd myth by many.
“A weapon that can wield the power of all Elemental GODs. “
No proof yet on such a being or such a motherboard exists, none up until now.

By wielding such tools, they can become faster.
They can become stronger or even smarter than an average human being.
They can even declare themselves GODS.

Turon Kinawayan is delighted that he can finally go home. Back to the small province of Mon Degris, in a village called Noveno.
He visits his house to unpack his bags from a long trip.
He walked afterwards to a computer shop not far from where he lives.

Turon sighs just before he opens the door. He is disappointed that he never got any leads on the location of the Dimagiba Trading Company headquarters.
Just when Turon is about to touch the door, someone opened it for him. It is a guy who is 3 years older than him, no other than his friend Fukundo “Kuku” Talbos.

“Oh so you have returned. Welcome back kid.
“The guys are at the back waiting for your arrival.”

Kuku welcomes Turon inside.
Turon enters the shop with uneasy steps.
He is still bitter in the mission that resulted into failure.
When he steps up inside, the mood is as gloomy as ever.
No one is playing games on the computers and there are hardly any customers.
The seats are all covered in dusts and some computers are just empty frames.
It is obvious that no one has been playing for a long time.
It is probably because the owner of the shop is not interested in upgrading the computers anymore.
Or maybe he intentionally made it look like as an internet caf?.
Turon remembers that the shop keeper never really intended to have people staying in the computer shop at all.
It is just like another fa?ade.

“They are in here Turon.” Kuku opening another door.

Turon enters the room, there sits the owner of the Internet Cafe.
The owner’s name is Herminio Madaran.

Kuku knocks on the door to catch the owner’s attention. Herminio is pleased for Turon’s return.

“Welcome back child. I am glad that you are safe and sound.”

“I am sorry Boss. I lost the only lead we have to track down the Dimagiba Trading Company.”

“That is quite fine. What is the most important is your safety Turon.”

A few seconds one of the computer technicians there replied.
“Would you be honest for once Shopkeeper? Everybody knows that you are just concerned of his unique motherboard and not his safety!”

Another computer technician agrees.
“Yeah that is right. I know that your eyes, sparkles, whenever you get to see the unique power of Turon’s board.”

The shop keeper replies
“You guys don’t get it don’t you? “
“Everyone one of your puny lives are important to me. “
“This is not about the motherboard but as a group who is the founding fathers of this organization! “
“As the Holy Repentance.”

“Easy there shop keeper. Remember your blood pressure. You know that we are just kidding right?” Reply from of the technicians.

Turon replies
“Anyway going back on the issue, the officials of Dimagiba must be a group of insanely important guys. “
“According to what I researched during my mission, no one is able to see them not even their employees.”




The shopkeeper
“It is more likely that they are far too dangerous even to the employees. “
“That is also why I am assigning you a partner for your next mission Turon Kinawayan.”

“Why do you want me to have a partner?” Turon disputes

“Wow isn’t that great Turon. That person will become a great asset to help you complete your missions.”
Kuku replies.

“It seems rather unnecessary. Isn’t Choc my Level 2 superior capable enough?” Turon asks.

Kuku with a serious face on his face replies.
“The next mission will be much more difficult that is why you would need additional assistance.”
Kuku replies.

Turon understands. He did not ask anymore.

The shopkeeper replies
“Anyways, going back on the mission logs,”
“The next mission will be guarding a special –VIP- on a luxury trip from the coast of Marasigan beach.”
“You need to protect him to the city built above the Monotrem Barrier Reef. “
“Instructions will be further discussed after you meet the client and your partner on the next room.”

Herminio opens the door to meet the client on the other room.
Turon and Kuku stepped inside to see a beautiful young girl waiting patiently.

Kuku whispers to Turon.
“That girl is wearing some kind of a robe probably similar to a Japanese temple priestess.”
“However it has a strange style on it that you don’t see anywhere.”

Turon can’t help but agree.

Kuku whispers again
“If you look closely, the fabric is about to fall from the seams. “
“Her robe looks like it is not sewn properly. The stitches have an obvious gap’s in between. “
“Maybe the girl doesn’t have anything else to wear.”
“If I am not mistaken, it looks like she intentionally made that robe to tear off easily.”
“Maybe it is meant for….”

Turon can’t help but agree to the most part Kuku just said except for the last statement.
But Turon really can’t help think why that girl is wearing such an unusual robe?

Herminio observes Turon Kinawayan.

Turon noticed it. He didn’t like it so he asked “What is it?”

“Is it just my imagination or you are staring too much at your new partner?”
Turon is surprised to hear that. The girl also looked at a Turon for a second and she somewhat hates it.

“What! She is my new partner!?” Turon with a surprised look in his face.

“Yes that is right.” Replied by the shop keeper.

Turon remained quiet and decided to think about it.

“Cool.” Turon with a thumb up.

“You suddenly changed your mood there. Here I thought that you have violent reactions. Or maybe just now, that you are underestimating her?”

“I don’t think you would employ her if she is not that qualified. I do believe she has some wicked skills of her own, correct?”

“You are damn right about it. Your eyes will pop out of their sockets when you see what she can do.”

“But knowing you any better, you have some other weird purpose why you hired her right?”

Turon looks at Herminio in doubtful way.

Herminio looks away and replies
“Please don’t say that. This is just good business.”

Kuku replies
“I hope so. Because if you weren’t we will be losing more employees because of THAT.”

Herminio changes the subject.
“Oh what rubbish. Don’t say such distasteful words in front of a lady.”

The girl replies with a rude attitude
“I appreciate the concern sires, but worry not about me. I am quite capable of taking care of myself.”

Turon did not like what the girl just said. He wants to prove that she still needs protection but he decided to let go of it for now.

Herminio replies.
“Alright I forgot to introduce you to each other. This annoying boy’s is Turon
Kinawayan. He is one of the Superior Weapons hacker in our base and wants to be an aspiring Level 2.”
“And she is …. Sorry I forgot…Your name again princess?”

The girl replied
“Talameia Bastion. But you guys can call me Tala.”

Herminio replies
“My, such a lovely name. How careless of me that I forgot the name of such a delicate flower. “
“Age must be catching up on me. A thousand pardons my lady.”

The girl smiles and says not to think about it.

Minutes later the client arrives.

Herminio replies
“Oh here is your client for today.”

Herminio introduces a plump white man wearing glasses.
He is the VIP that they will protect on his vacation trip.
He introduces himself as Richard Barcadaz.
Richard prepares a map showing the details on where he will be visiting on the Monotrem barrier reef. He claims that he is curious on visiting some of the popular tourist spots.
Hermino finds everything in order.
It seems to be just a normal vacation trip which has a suspicious high amount for payment.

Talameia Bastion doesn’t like Richard not one bit.
It seems that this guy is hiding something.
He doesn’t look like he is really visiting or sightseeing.
Even if Richard looks like a normal businessman with a Hawaiian shirt, it doesn’t seem right that this guy also has Amplification System motherboards all around his body.
He may look like a tourist but he is heavily equipped like a war lord.
If this group messes up, it could even cost their own lives.

Talameia just looked at the team. None of them are suspicious of this client.
It only shows that this group will not last any longer.
The so called “Holy Repentance” is just a small worm waiting to be squashed by an elephant.

When all the plans are discussed, Turon prepares to go home to rest.
Just when Turon is about to leave the room, Herminio asks Turon Kinawayan to stay behind.

Herminio seriously replies.
“I want you to remove the dangerous BETA equipment. “
“The one you took from our science facility.”

“Why would you assume that I have such tools?” Turon replies.

“No special reason. But I see you are having a hard time standing on your 2 legs.”

[coldfire01]

Turon is surprised to hear that from Herminio.
He is right. Turon’s knees are still shacking due to the side effects of such an insane amplification motherboard.

“That motherboard is dangerous. “
“I know that you want to get stronger but do not make use of a weapon that gives tremendous drawback to your body. “
“That is not real strength! “
“It is not even worth the risks if it slowly eats your life away.”

Turon remains quiet.

“I want all of your equipments scanned here overnight. “
“I will assign a Level 3 here to delete the cache and recent history from flash memory of your Elemental Motherboard. “
“This is an official order Turon Kinawayan!”

Turon just removed his necklace and ring and placed it on the table.
He is very upset while he walks outside.

Herminio calls upon one of the Level 3 named John Brandon to scan the device.
He instructs Brandon to transfer the software attributes and disassociate the motherboard functions of the device to remove the GOD canceller system.

The GOD canceller system is an original board developed by the science division of the HOLY REPENTANCE.
Its purpose is to create the ultimate anti-amplification system motherboard.
The system creates a territorial barrier around the user with 14 meters in radius.
Anyone within the range will be purged to nullify any amplification functions before it hits the user.
The kicks that suppose to break armored cars will be reduced to punches nearly the strength of a child.

The Anti-Amplification system is so scary that is even nicknamed by the science division as the
“GOD Canceller Program”.

The system itself is really meant to render the Amplification system useless however there is a huge drawback.
The problem with the weapon is the physical attributes of the user.
The GOD Canceller program will actually lower the attack power of the attacker but also the user as well.
Both of the fighter’s physical aspects will be decreased and unfortunately, the stress will be much greater to the body of the user.
Any Motherboard within the proximity including the end user equipments will be offline.
It is suicidal for it will also provide an opening for any long ranged Energy manipulation users to attack anytime.

Turon Kinawayan installed the GOD Canceller program as an add-on boost to his existing Elemental Motherboard.
He quickly grasped the Beta equipment right after he received higher access rights in the development team.
That probably explains why he became friendly with the science team.

Brandon asks
“I know this is not my place to pry, why is the kid has a power hunger in his head?”
“Death will be swift if he keeps this up.”

Herminio sighs
“All the kid wants is to save her older sister Maya. “
“He wants to get stronger even if he has to fight against the people who took her. “
“Even if it means, fighting against the members of the previous Autonomous Core of the Obelisk Industry.”

Brandon felt tremendous chill climbing from his spine when he hears the name of the group.

Brandon replies
“No way, don’t tell me it is the freaking board of executives?”
“The founders of the Dimagiba Trading Organization!”

Herminio walks toward the window and looks at the birds in the trees outside.
“We need to be heavily prepared for that time when we meet those bastards.”
“A huge storm is coming. “
“And from here onwards and in the future, everything will be chaotic.”

Brandon’s cold sweat flows down from his head.
The tone produced from Herminio’s lips speaks serious that he is really not kidding.


He ignored it for a moment and just continued to perform the job.
Brandon needs remove the history settings and user information from the flash memory inside the Elemental Motherboard.

Meanwhile, Talameia Bastion can’t stop thinking about this guy Turon Kinawayan.
He should be good if Turon is pursuing a level 2 position.
Tala thinks that the Elemental Motherboard is the same as in legends.

“If I am not mistaken, Turon is called the Elemental Engineer.”
“He might even be one of the Legendary God Slayers.”

Talameia decided to follow Turon to observe his capabilities.
There she saw Turon visiting the Science Department.
Tala eavesdrops in the conversation between Turon and a level 2 named Ariel K. Majinheim.

There she discovered something that she is not supposed to.
Ariel is talking about Turon’s struggles becoming a Weapons Hacker.
He is working ten times the effort of an average hacker just to become better.
He doesn’t have the wits or the basic comprehension of a hacker.
He is in fact a slow learner and hard at understanding.

Talameia Bastion heard some rumors that Turon is supposed to be a child prodigy and one of the geniuses in HOLY REPENTANCE but apparently they are just lies.

If it weren’t for the program created by Ariel K Majinheim, Turon wouldn’t be able to hack any motherboards.
Ariel is the real genius responsible for installing Turon’s hacking program on Turon’s laptop.
He used the custom hacking program called the “Schneider Signer” that injects into the Kaiser Militaria Integrated Operating System.

Ariel scolds Turon Kinawayan for using such reckless motherboard called the God Canceller without permission.

“The next time you abuse my kindness, you won’t even be able to receive any new programs from me ever again.”
“Do I make myself clear Turon Kinawayan?!”

Turon just remained silent while he is being scolded by Ariel.

Talameia secretly left the base and went straight to her apartment.
“So much for the rumored genius of the HOLY REPENTANCE”
“He is nothing more but a trying hard loser!”
The next day, a team has been assembled to protect the VIP, Richard Barcadaz.
Members that gathered is Talameia Bastion, Turon Kinawayan and the leader of the operations will be the Level 2 named Scott “Choc” Deusnes.
Before they can leave, Kuku asks if he can come along.
Herminio says no but Richard says it’s quite fine.
Richard is pleased to have another hacker to serve as his guards.
He is even willing to pay Kuku for his services.

With that statement alone, it made Tala give more suspicions on what the mission is all about.
She can’t help but doubt Richard’s real motives.

Herminio taps Tala’s shoulder. He whispers something to Tala.
“Whatever the mission that Richard is dragging us into, you are safe because you have Turon in your team.”
“He is after all the Genius Hacker from HOLY REPENTANCE.”

Tala wants to say that Turon is just a fake.
But she just pretended a smile saying she believes Turon completely.
Herminio is relieved that Tala’s worries have vanished.
But Herminio doesn’t know that made Tala worry even more.

But no one in the group really knows the true objective of this vacation.
They haven’t realized that what they are going to visit is actually the grand meeting of the White Hats and a sinister plot created by Richard Barcadaz.

Using the company helicopter, the group travelled from the HOLY REPENTANCE base leading to the Marasigan Beach.
The team landed on the heliport near Dasmarin Rice Fields.
Upon arrival, they are greeted by Richard’s butler named JP.

JP whispers to Richard.
“The preparations are complete. I have filled in the seats and reserved the entire bar.”
“I have prepared an assembly in that location just past the tennis court.”

“Excellent choice JP, as expected to the graduate of ARMMS.”

While they walk to the tennis court, Richard saw an annoying visitor that he never expected to visit.
Stepping out of the government Bus is the famous rock band called MALEVOLENCE.
A guy with a punk hairdo lifts his hand to the sky shielding his eyes from the sun.
He is the lead vocalist and his name is Ahrek Rituzin.


Richard seemed awfully disturbed with Ahrek’s presence.
He just wished that Ahrek is unaware of Richard’s mission.

Turon also became uneasy after seeing his classmate Yna and his classmates also on vacation trip.
He also wished not be seen by those girls, for he kept his mercenary job a secret to everyone.
Kuku and Tala doesn’t understand what is happening with Turon and Richard.

But as much as Turon tries to hide, it was already too late. He is already discovered by Yna.

“Hey classmate, you should have told us that you are also spending your vacation here. “
“This is such an interesting coincidence to meet you here.”

“Ah… yes, Umm you see I am on a trip with my...” Turon hesitantly replies.

Tala thinks of Turon such a loser. He can’t even come up with a convincing lie.
To Tala, Turon is such a weakling.

Turon looked at Kuku and the others. Yna awaits what Turon might say.

Kuku replied for Turon.
“We are actually visiting our auntie today. “
“She should be somewhere scuba diving on the Monotrem Barrier Reef.”
“They say swimming with dolphins have some amazing healing powers.”

Yna is amazed.
“Wow that’s great. Can we join you guys? “
“I wish we can however we don’t have the money to rent a speedboat and some diving equipment.”

Another classmate replies
“Your relatives must be really rich Turon KInawayan to visit the dolphins.”

Turon just looked at Kuku for giving them an inappropriate excuse.
Now Yna will feel bad if they don’t let them join.

Richard speaks that Yna and her friends can join.
Turon and Kuku turns to the client with a surprised look on their faces.

“Relax. This will be my treat.”
“It would be sad if we said no.”


“Sir this is unreasonable. Please understand that we mustn’t involve civilians.”
Talameia disputes

“Do not worry we won’t. All they desire is to visit the dolphins and nothing more. Am I right ladies?”

Yna agreed.

“So it is settled then. “
“JP , please prepare the boat so we can visit Wolfs fang cave.”
“Tell the captain we will be having a little detour.”
“Set a course to the southern tip of the Monotrem Barrier reef.”

Talameia wonders what Richard is up to. Her suspicion just keeps building up.
What is Richard’s true objective?

Ahrek feels an evil and disturbing wind blowing from the Monotrem Barrier Reef.
He later noticed one of the luxury boats that the Superhuman Genetics Biologist Dr. Richard Barcadaz is about to set sail.

Ahrek calls upon his group to secretly follow where Dr. Barcadaz is going.
Richard must be up to no good again.

Just when Ahrek is about to leave, his manager asks where they may be going.
“Hey I thought we will be having a concert here?”

Ahrek covered his right eye with his right hand, blood starting to flow from his eye down to his cheek.
He swings his right arm to shake off the excess blood from his fingers.
When Ahrek lifts his face, a scar shaped as a letter R is written all across his right eye.
All of a sudden that he is holding an old sword with several cracks in it.
The blade is wider than him and length is nearly as tall as him.
The sword also has some weird glyphs written all across the hilt.

“A bigger stage awaits us.”
“I can actually hear the crowd chanting our names. “

The band shows up with their weapons as well.

“Our audience awaits.”
“It’s showtime!”

[coldfire01]

Project Elemental Engineer


Phase 3: the Dance of the Global Superpowers: Pt 1

A cold breeze blows coming from the City above the Monotrem Barrier reef.
Dark clouds are cumulating. It is like there is an omen that something bad is about to happen.

Just outside the Herald Building, one of the towering headquarters of the White hats, located in the south eastern part of Asia.
A group of men wearing black coats are on pursue to catch someone.
On their right chest, carries a mark, a patch of a white hat of a magician.
They gather from all directions just to surround a certain fruit peddler.

The peddler is surprised to see so many men surrounding him.
He then asks
“What is this? Is something wrong?”

Their leader approaches. He is the Research Analyst and Development Director Janus Silverhorn.
He carries a small portable computer and closes the display.
“I have no need for lousy dramas.”
“Your disguise may have fooled people in the past but not the White Hats.”

The agents called white hats, gathered up in all directions to subdue the peddler.

“Am I being arrested?” asks by the peddler
“I have my rights! What are the charges?”

“Such a noisy guy, have him moved from my sight!” replied by Janus

A white hat agent behind the peddler paralyzes him with a stun gun.

“Stupid hacker, must he ask what he is convicted of?”
“We are heavily underestimated by such simpletons.”

Byrone Chaith, a White hat R&D Engineer replies
“Sire, do not pay attention on insignificant concerns. “
“They’re at fault since ignorance is their disease. “



“True. His existence as a hacker or a thief is already discovered.”
“Such a violation will not miss our watchful eyes.”

Janus shouts
“Everyone gather around!”
“Let it be known that not one hacker shall roam free. “
“They must learn this place is a stronghold.“
“A gathering of the high level weapons manufacturers.”
“We are the Knights of Militaria, bearing the pride and the name “
“We are the WHITE HATS!”

The white hats roared proving their superiority.

Minutes later, JP whispers to Richard to notify their spy got caught.
Richard did not feel bad about the information. He doesn’t want to quit.

“It seems that the White hats can detect Hacked Military hardware.”
“Today’s convention might have some interesting surprises.”
“Devices like Genuine Detection wards to fend off hackers.”

“This isn’t what we expected. Shall I call off the mission?”

“Even if the CEO of Kaiser Militaria paid a visit, I won’t back down.”
“They just prolonged my visit.”


The REPENTANCE is not aware that their visit to Monotrem Barrier reef may be their last.
They will soon meet thousands of White Hats who are visiting the Superior Weapons Convention.
The White hats, they are the legitimate owners of the Original Equipment armaments.
They are also the official users of the manufactured goods from the Kaiser Militaria.

The White Hats hunts down any group of hackers like HOLY REPENTANCE.
They are sometimes called “The Knights of Kaiser Weapons underground.”
The White Hat’s purpose is to restore order and avoid abuse of the Militaria wares.


Yna and her other classmates are enjoying the trip.
They take pictures of the natural stalactites and stalagmites in the wolf gang’s cave.

“This is place is amazing!”


Richard approaches
“Are you enjoying the trip ladies?”

“Yes very much, kind sir.”

“I’m glad to hear that.”
“However, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it is getting late.”
“I’m afraid I have to ask the captain to sail back to shore.”

“Oh I am sorry. It seems we overstayed a little.”
“Time really flies when we are having fun.”
“Thank you sir, for giving us a chance to see such an amazing place.”

“Think nothing of it.”
“Your presence here is quite a privilege for everybody here.”

While Yna is walking, she noticed that Turon and Tala are preparing to use an emergency life boat.

Richard noticed Yna is worried so he explained
“Do not be alarmed.”
“We are currently moving to where Turon’s aunts are located.”
“Their boat is around the cave and we plan to spend the night there.”

JP added
“We would like to offer you ladies to stay but we are a bit short of rooms.”
“We really need to return shore.”

Yna is curious about Turon’s is keeping a lot of secrets.
She decided to let it go and sailed back to shore.
Moments later, Richard joins Turon and Choc in the lifeboat.

Choc asks a question to Richard
“It seems that we will be off the schedules if we continue by small boats.”
“The cost will increase since we are being paid on a daily basis. “

“I understand.”
“There is a little setback or more like I forgot something that is why we need to move to a bigger boat.”

Couple of clicks on where they are, the group is surprised to see a Submarine.
It is one of the properties owned by Richard Barcadaz.
Once they step on board, Richard grabs his laptop and wears a pair of silver bracelets.
Tala saw it and expects that those bracelets are motherboards.
Once Richard and the others have completed their equipment and supplies, they started moving again.
They set sail to the Monotrem barrier Reef using a small boat.
Finally they arrived to the port and they saw a lively town.
It seems that Richard is right. They are celebrating for a festival.

Fireworks are on display, some of them are preparing to be launched.
It is a happy festival for the locals.
Even though they are visiting a party, Tala just can’t get rid the feeling there is something wrong.

Meanwhile, at the Monotrem Herald building, located at the center of the island.
The Genuine Detection Security team is monitoring everyone who arrives in the island.
They utilized nearly a hundred proximity Wards scattered almost everywhere.
Its purpose is to verify each individual within area is using a genuine motherboard.

Several technicians await the results coming from the computer.
He verified Richard Barcadaz is using a genuine motherboard “Neuro Administration.”
Richard’s motherboard is meant for delicate Neurosurgery.
Kuku Talbos is verified to carry the genuine motherboard “Dagger of Atormentar.”

One of the technicians is so amazed on what motherboard Talameia has.
Talameia Bastion carries an ancient relic.
A pure, raw material, God weapon that doesn’t have operating systems installed.
The capability is unknown.

Another technician is also surprised to verify Turon’s weapon.
Turon Kinawayan carries the rare Elemental Motherboard.
They thought that the motherboard is nowhere to be found and to their surprise seeing it at the hands of a child.

An old female, whose age of 50’s can’t help but stand from her seat.
Her name is Alissandreux Hadrath Findorr.
She is the Security Operations Chief and one of the Senior Engineers.
Alissandreux approaches the monitors showing interest to the people in the screen.

She asks to keep an eye to this group especially to the guy she points who is Turon Kinawayan.

Engineer Alissandreux Hadrath Findorr
“If the rumors are correct, the user’s mental fortitude should be extremely high for him to carry such an intelligent multi-elemental system. “

Another technician states that Melchor “Choc” Deusness’s is using a hacked motherboard.
The previous owner’s information has been deleted and it’d hardware ID is verified as stolen.
A technician is about to make a call to the field Engineers but Engineer Findor stops him.

Engineer Alissandreux Hadrath Findorr replies,
“I am quite intrigued with the soaring popularity of the Elemental Engineer.”
“Such minor commotions must not leak to the other engineers.”

The technician replies
“But Findor, this is an obvious security breach.”
“They have a Hacker with them.’

“Do not worry about the reports.”
“I created the security system so I am quite capable how to Reverse Engineer fake information hihi.”

“That’s not an assuring statement ma’am.”

“I know. “
“I am so intrigued to that user.”
“The child carrying that accursed Elemental Motherboard.”

The technician saw that Engineer Findorr is quite serious. The technician did not continue to call the field engineers.

Engineer Findorr calls someone from his cell phone.
“You think you can handle that kid?”

“Even if we have the same age, his mind will bow down to me.” said by the voice on the other side.

Engineer Findorr smiles with confidence.
“I see.”
“Do not hold back when you are dealing with that kid.”

Meanwhile, Richard Barcadaz noticed that his motherboard has been scanned.

“The range of their detection wards is so far it’s absurd.”
“My hacked motherboard is manually encoded by me so I should be able to bypass their garbage security encryption.”
“My board should be on VIP settings and should be able to utilize offers like premium services.”
“But I shouldn’t worry about that. I should focus on how to get that information regarding the latest weapons.”



Richard Barcadaz looks at the REPENTANCE that he hired.
“It shouldn’t be long that these guys will be slaughtered by the White Hats.”
“Little they know that they are just sacrificial lambs for my real objective.”

Moments later, another speedboat came to port.
This time it is the famous rock band, MALEVOLENCE stepping out of the deck.

Richard saw Ahrek Rituzin is looking for someone.
He quickly stepped behind Turon and Talameia to hide from Ahrek’s range of sight.

Talameia Bastion asks if there is something wrong.
Richard replies that he needs to buy some souvenirs before they ran out.
He needs start visiting the nearby booths.
The group continued to visit one booth after the other.

Richard sampled some games like throwing some coins to the board and wins a prize.
Turon and also Kuku tried the lottery of gold fish and so on.
They are having a wonderful time.

Meanwhile, Ahrek talks to his celebrity girlfriend Orchid Demjurai.

Ahrek Rituzin
“Have you confirmed the information regarding this island?”

Orchid Demjurai nods her head saying yes.

“Just as I thought, the entire island is infested with White Hat Agents.”
“If we are not careful, we might actually die.”

“You speak like you really CAN die Ahrek.”
“We can be killed but not you.”

“I wouldn’t assume too much yet.”
“The White hats are starting to be annoyed with my immortality complex.”
“They might be cooking up some type of countermeasures.”

Moments later, Turon Kinawayan wants to try one of the parlor games.
It is a simple game of rocks. The last one to pick is the loser.
Each colored rock has a corresponding amount.
Depending on the color, the small rock can also be used against his opponent.
A strategic rock game that has both attacking and defense

Turon remembers the strategy Ariel taught him.
It looks like he is doing a unique trick but it is quite redundant.
Easy for deceiving his opponents, trapping them inside and isolating his enemies.

Turon managed to win in a row against the other young kids
He even won against adults all thanks to Ariel K Majinheim’s tips.

Suddenly, a young boy asked if he can play against Turon.
“Nice to meet you, my name is Marlon Ludavarez.”
“May I challenge you for one game?”

Turon sees that it is quite alright.
He accepted a game and played against Marlon.

However when Turon battled with Marlon, every move Turon made are all being countered.
It’s like Turon’s mind is being screened and all his attempts are blocked.
Turon tried to counter but he eventually lost.
After 3 games, Turon lost 3-0 as the final score.

He is completely overwhelmed and all his strategies are worthless against Marlon Ludavares.

Marlon is just too clever and probably a lot smarter than Turon

Marlon is thinking if this is the extent of the child who is able to utilize an intelligent weapon system.
Turon’s movements are redundant and there are no signs of counterattack.
It is like he is following a pattern of movements.

Talameia does not wonder why Turon lost.
Richard is not interested with childish games.
Richard noticed Ahrek is also watching the game. He started moving again to avoid being noticed.

Ahrek suddenly approached Marlon and asks if he is willing to duel with him.

Marlon accepts however his Uncle shows up with several bodyguards.
His uncle said Marlon is being called by his father.
Marlon Ludavarez excused himself and left.

Marlon’s uncle Giovanni asks why he visited this island.
Marlon replied that he also wants to see the unveiling of Father’s new invention.
Giovanni does not like what Marlon just said.
If Marlon is here, it might make things complicated.

Ahrek doesn’t like it when people are walking away before the match begins.
He is quite curious about Marlon.

“Marlon may look like an ordinary 15 years old boy.”
“But to me, his mind is already far more complex than normal.”
“He may even be compared to Engineers and Architects.”

Orchid Demjurai replies
“Jealous to a child because you are already 27 years old? “

“White Hats know how to insert drugs and also modify people like guinea pigs.”
“Such tortures he has to endure to shape him into a human weapon.”

Ahrek can somewhat read Marlon’s mind.
He can see that Marlon Ludavarez may even be smarter than Ahrek Rituzin.
With such incredible mental capacity, the White Hats will have an incredible fighting monster in their arsenal.


Turon asked Ahrek if he can have a duel with Ahrek.

Ahrek looked in Turon eyes.
He can see that Turon did not challenged Ahrek because he is confident with his skills.
He just wants Ahrek to satisfy Ahrek by having a match.

Ahrek just smiled and he appreciates the offer.
He apologized that it is not necessary and he is no longer interested.

Turon is curious why Ahrek is carrying a huge sword.
Ahrek is surprised that Turon can even see his weapon.
The blade Ahrek is carrying is already streamlined with invisibility particles.

“Ah, this sword.”
“This is one of the Double Obliteration Swords called -Polarity Y-.”

Ahrek suddenly demonstrates a portion of his power by touching his blade to a small rock.
The rock suddenly bursts into powder scattering in the air.

Turon suddenly remembers the guy named Dymitri Virtuxin.

Ahrek noticed the change of emotions coming from Turon’s eyes.

“Judging from your facial expression, this isn’t the first time you see a weapon like this.”

“There is a guy, who holds such an ominous crescent scythe.”
“Everything rots by the presence of his scythe except him.”

“Oh that guy.”
“That man is Dymitri Virtuxin, his level is almost near the God Emperors.”
“His weapon is called the Extinctia, a dreaded weapon that rots anything within its range.”

“Oh I see.”

Ahrek wonders why Dymitri did not kill this child.
He allowed his identity exposed and did not silence a witness.
The rumors might be true.
Dymitri the “Lawyer of Death” is starting to be soft.


Meanwhile, Richard is running away to get away from the REPENTANCE that he hired.
Talameia managed to catch up with Richard.

Talameia asks
“Where might you be going without the guards that you hired?”

“You shouldn’t have tried to follow me.”
“You will be the first to regret it.”

Richard pressed an icon on his touch phone.
The alarm roars throughout the island.

A female voice comes out of every speaker nearby.
“Notice to everyone within this island.”
“There is a hacker who declared he will be stealing the latest military hardware on this convention.”
“The hacker declares himself that he is already in this island and is among us.”
“We do not know how many they are and how they intend to steal the prototype weapons.”
“We now impose a bounty to anyone who can catch the hackers.”
“The White Hats headquarters will issue 10 Million for each hacker found.”
“Dead or Alive!”

Melchor Choc Deussness is stunned with the announcement.
Ahrek smiles in a war freak glee.


Richard suddenly shouts
“Help, I found a hacker!”

In the narrow alley, where Talameia Bastion and Richard Barcadaz is, suddenly arrives 15 White hats carrying their weapons of choice.

Elemental Engineer
By Mysterious Songwriter

Phase 4: The Dance of the Global Superpowers: Pt 2


Before the events and the alarm is activated throughout the city,
Engineer Alissandreux Hadrath Findorr is looking everywhere for Marlon Ludavarez

“Where did that boy went to this time?”
“Leaving all of a sudden? We haven’t finished collecting any data for the Elemental Weapon or its user.”

The female engineer found what she is looking for. Marlon is sitting quietly in a bench made of bamboo located near the fence behind a restaurant.

Alissandreux is so upset enough to yell at Marlon, however she stops. She noticed Marlon keeps a serious expression as he looks at the sea. His eyes focused to the beach of Marasigan Mainland on the other side.

Marlon is startled to see something else. He approached the beach to get a better view.

Alissandreux is curious on what is going on. She searched what startles the young Engineer. There she saw a group of young girls are on a boat. They are trapped in a series of turbulent waters.

Marlon Ludavarez kneels in front of the sea. He measures his distance from the boat by using his thumbs and index fingers.
Marlon takes a good look of the waves. Once the preparations are complete, he stands up.
He closes his right hand forming a fist. Marlon concentrates his energy inside his palm.

Marlon pulls up a right straight punch towards the direction where the girls are. He then released a burst of purple flames bursting to the air.

They scatter in the air as the blaze falls. Like small meteors, the flame splashes down to the water where the boat is. The young girls are afraid because they are suddenly became targets.

“Why are they attacking us? What the heck are they doing!? “
“They should be rescuing us and not burning us alive!”

The girls huddle amongst each other. They close their eyes, praying for someone to save them from harm.
Yna, one of them, expects their end from the attack. She acts to be brave. Yna soon guards herself and closes her eyes in fear of getting hurt.
She expects to be burned but nothing is happening.

She slowly opened her eyes, and to her surprise, she saw the waves turned solid. The sea water is now made of ice.

The purple flames, is crawling away from them.
She noticed something odd about the flames.

“Why do I feel that the flame is alive. “
“The way it moves, it is like, it has a mind of its own.”

Some of the purple flame jumps around and rolls over like a playful child. Some of the flames are arguing with each other. Some are running while some are idle and acts surprised.

One of the girls, named Laura, noticed the purple blaze is freezing the water it touches.

“It is funny to see a flame that doesn’t produce heat but it freezes things. “
“This is one cool magic I want this to be revealed!”

Some of their friends agree. However to Yna, this is no ordinary street magic.

Engineer Findorr is not impressed at all.
“What a blunder. Now why the heck did he do that?”
“Fool. You showed your power to random civilians. The higher Echelon will be very upset for this.”
“It seems the slave forgot the reason why he possesses Coldfire, a power science cannot explain. “
“You are just a lowly human guinea pig. You are not entitled to have free will!”

Yna touched the frozen waves. It seems solid enough to support her weight; however the ice is too slippery for anyone to walk on. The solid waves hold sharp edges that can cut them if they are not careful.

Marlon kneels down the frozen water. He forcefully stabs his right palm through the ice. Purple flames pour out of his arm, scattering throughout the frozen water.

The ice slowly turned to shaved ice like snow for them to walk on.
The purple flames disappear after their task is complete.

Marlon walk on top of the snow to confirm it is safe. He easily walks above it and managed to approach the boat. He hops on aboard the vessel and presents his right palm to Yna.

Marlon does not speak. He maintains his pose towards Yna. Marlon is waiting for Yna to accept his offer.
Yna places her hand on top of Marlon’s. Marlon pulls her out of the boat. Yna and her friends walk their way up to shore.


Moments later, a female voice announces a broadcasted message to every speaker available.
“Notice for everyone in this island. A hacker has declared to steal our latest weapons.”
“The source of the transmission originates from this island. We do not know their numbers, their strengths or when they will attack. “
“For that we post a bounty for capturing these criminals. Headquarters confirms the bounty of 10 Million WC (White Coins) for their heads.”
“Dead or Alive!”

The female Engineer looks at Marlon if he heard the broadcast. Marlon nods his head while looking back at Alissandreux. Marlon approached Alissandreux


Yna grabs the right sleeve of Marlon.
“I would like to say Thank you.” – Yna replies
Marlon walks away, still not saying a word.

Marlon and Alissandreux are joined by guys wearing tropical shirts. They present their ID carrying a logo of a White Hat. Marlon showed theirs to confirm their identity.



Meanwhile, somewhere in the island, Richard calls the authorities using his phone.
“Please help me! I am hunted by a hacker!”

In the narrow alley, where Talameia Bastion and Richard Barcadaz are located, they are surrounded by the White hats. Some are atop of the small buildings and some are at the entrance of the alley. They wield a variety of weapons at their disposal.

One of the white hats opens his laptop computer. He opens an application to scan Talameia’s weapon.

“Her weapon is not on any records. The origin is unknown and so it’s capability.”
“Be at your best guard everyone. We do not what a hacker weapon is capable of!”

Another white hat suggests keeping a fair distance away from the hacker. The attacks could be toxic in a form of liquid or gas. Even the tiniest dosage could prove lethal.

They all agreed that the White hats with long range attacks should be the frontlines for the assault. This plan must be enforced to avoid casualties.

Most of the White Hats agreed to the proposition.

One of them represents himself to take care of the hacker.
This White hat wields a golden bow and arrow. On his right thigh hangs a golden lyre as an accessory.

Talameia confirms this guy is carrying a GOD Weapon imitation.

“This is getting dangerous.” – Talameia replies

“My name is Levonns Arganaich. “
“I may look like a Field Engineer but I am also a Licensed Weapon Synchronization Analyst. “
“Kindly tell me your name.”

Talameia doesn’t like to provide her name to random strangers.
She shows her fighting pose as her answer.


“Such a pity.”
“For we have to label you as test subject ID 07584.”
“On your rotting corpse!”

Levonns prepares his Golden bow. He pulled up 3 golden arrows from his quill and then assigns them to the string.
He aims and attacks Talameia.

The arrows start to emit white light. They almost look like beams as they fly towards Talameia Bastion.

Talameia guards herself using her right sleeve of her robe. She easily deflects the arrows just like swatting flies.
Even though she repelled the attack, her sleeve is not smeared. The fabric remained white with no signs of damage.

The white hats are astonished with Talameia’s defense.

Talameia sighs. She stretches her two arms away from each other while she swings her head from left to right. Talameia wears an arrogant expression on her face giving insult to every White hat nearby.

Levonns is insulted the most. He shoots more arrows towards Tala, hoping to stab a heart or an eye.
Tala continues to shove the beams away just like before. Her robe is still unharmed after the rain of attacks.

When Talameia noticed Levonns is out of arrows, she dashes towards the analyst.
Once she is near, Tala rips apart the left sleeves from her robe starting from the shoulder.
The cloth transforms into a sword. She uses the blade to hack Luiron’s belly.

Levonns Arganaich falls to the ground. Talameia shows a sword made of metal.
The analyst’s blood is dripping from its sharp edge.

One of the White hats noticed the sword’s designs.
“I recognize that sword. If I am not mistaken, the designs resemble the sword Arondight!”

“Of all the dumb things to notice, why is it had to be the sword?” – Replied by another white hat agent.

“I just can’t help it. It is just that it doesn’t make any sense. The girl wears Japanese clothes so her sword should be a katana. So why does she equip herself with Lancelot’s sword from England Mythology?”

“Fashion these days are the combination of East and west. Still does it matter anyway? What counts is how you deliver the message.”

Talameia runs to a nearby White Hat and continued her attack. She cuts them down one by one.

Some of the White hats are using various powers such as lightning bolts and Ice shards to attack Tala. Talameia sometimes dodge and deflects the energies using her right sleeve as her shield.


Richard Barcadaz is impressed on what Talameia can do.

Talameia looks at Richard.
Though she doesn’t say anything, she wears the face showing “Get yourself ready for you are next!” Richard doesn’t seem to be worried.

Talameia is confident that she can handle these guys.
“I am fortunate that the White Hat weapons here are nothing but lousy imitations. “
“I could have died if their strength is par to the original. “
“The real Apollo’s arrow is capable of healing and purifying targets. However if reversed these arrows creates genocide to death.”

A voice of a man plays on the speaker nearby
“Isn’t your ability to imitate swords? Yet you mock us that we are the copycats! “
“Your existence itself is already a contradiction!”

The voice came from Janus Silverhorn.

“Someone is reading my thoughts?” – Tala replies.

Janus is watching everything from his office. He has a surveillance robotic camera disguises itself as a real bird.

“The female hacker is curious of my location? Worry not for your death grows near. “
“It will all be over in a few minutes.”

Janus Silverhorn makes haste driving his motorcycle to Tala’s location.


A white hat offers to protect Richard.
“It is not safe here doctor. Allow me to guide you to a secure location.”

Richard smiles that the White Hats recognizes him as a doctor. He quickly accepted the offer to a safe location with a White Hat escort.

Talameia saw Richard is about to escape. She rips apart the clothes of a nearby White hat she killed.
Talameia crumples the garbs forming a ball of rags. She focuses her energy.

The ball transforms into a metallic pole. The pole quickly stretches its tip to reach Richard.
The White Hat escort pushed Richard away. The agent got stabbed instead.
Richard is surprised to see the valiant response of the White hat agent.

The agent speaks while blood is pouring from his mouth.
“Run sir, <cough> Leave us to……… to ………<cough> …. fight the hacker!”

Tala is disappointed that the White hat got in between of her target. She commands the metal pole to decrease its length. Once the metal pole decreases its height, she used the recoil to spring forward to where Richard Barcadaz is.
Once Talameia got near, she hastened her steps to cut the client.

Richard doesn’t seem to be worried at all. He pulls up his phone and calls upon JP.
“Do flip the switch to begin our ceremonies.”


The submarine of Barcadaz launched a missile heading straight to the Monotrem Barrier Reef.
The missile crashed behind Richard Barcadaz, It didn’t explode leaving heaps of metals scattered in the ground.

Richard Barcadaz smiles at Tala. He then hurries to the remains of the missile.

Just as soon as he is about to move some scrap metal, Richard Barcadaz suddenly stops moving.

Richard is hearing a loud screeching noise. He closes his ears using both of his hands but still the noise is still there.
Richard Barcadaz kneels in pain.

“This is unexpected. So there are two hackers here.” –replies by an unknown man.

Richard turns around and he sees Janus Silverhorn getting off his motorcycle.

Richard’s sight is starting to blur.
The loud screeching noise in his ear is getting louder.

Talameia is also hearing loud screeching noises.
She is losing sight of everything around her.

“Hmph this young girl looks down on the White hats but plagiaristic manufacturing pigs.”
“What garbage thoughts!”

A surviving white hat agent approached Janus Silverhorn. He reports to Janus.
“Sir we apologize if we are unable to isolate the issue.”
“The girl is just way too….”

“The girl never really posed much of a threat.”
“Focus more on that fake doctor who orchestrated everything!”

Richard heard what Janus just said. He suddenly became well of a sudden.
“It seems the cat is out of the bag. I do wonder who sold me out to the white hats.”
“More importantly, a popular figure is here to personally greet me.”

“Popular? It never matters for me.”
“But for formalities, my name is Janus Silverhorn, one of the Seven R&D Chief Engineers.”
“I am also the Director of the Heaven Brain Institute.”

Richard smiles to see one of the Seven War Merchants of Militaria.

“And you are the famous super human Genetics Architect, Richard Barcadaz am I correct?”


Meanwhile, Turon Kinawayan is desperately searching for Talameia Bastion.
He is worried on where that girl ran off to.

Choc announces to his team that they must leave as soon as possible. He is forced to abort the mission with or without the client’s permission, even if without the client himself.

Turon still insists to save Richard.
Choc states the mission is on a critical status. He wants to speak some more but Turon refuses to listen.
Turon ran away without saying a word.

Kuku asks permission from Choc to follow Turon. Choc nods his head that he grants the request.


Choc remembers the conversation with Kuku, on the other night at the pier, before they set sail on a private boat.
Choc and Kuku are drinking outside. They look up to the star filled sky.

“I have a bad feeling about our client Richard Barcadaz.” – Choc replies.
“It is like he is hiding a story behind the paragraphs.”
“That man may be using us for another purpose.”

“That’s quite a strong suspicion for a decent looking guy.”

“Looks have been and always deceiving in our trade. “
“Falling to a trick like that could even cost your life.”
“Best watch your backs from everyone. Your allies today may just be your next enemies.”

“I have no doubts to the words coming from a war veteran such as you. “
“Going off topic, I am worried about Turon Kinawayan.”
“He keeps his emotions reined in times of battle but he is still a kindhearted boy.”
“I am ashamed of myself that I dragged him down to our level.”

Choc agrees. But Turon chose this path on his own. No one forced him to become a weapons hacker.
He proceed even though the dangers that may await him


Choc sighs when he saw Turon running off just to save Tala or Richard.
He doesn’t like it that his assumption is correct.

Melchor Deusness is unaware that Marlon Ludavarez is moving behind him. Marlon prepares to strike Choc using his fist covered in purple flames.



Meanwhile, the island became a battlefield.
Hundreds of White Hat agents are scattered everywhere searching for Weapon Hackers.
They subdue random civilians or possible hacker suspects. They no longer arrest people on site. They randomly kill whoever they think as a hacker.
Most of them carry a device not larger than a scientific calculator.
A portable computer that scans an individual’s Superior Weapon.

Turon is fortunate to run passed some agents even though he shouts Tala’s name.
It seems that some white hats are not eager to detect everyone’s weapons. These agents never even bothered to follow Turon.

Kuku who is older than Turon, caught up with him. He grabs Turon’s wrist and twists Turon’s arm to his back.

“I am sorry if I have to restrain you like this Turon. We must leave immediately!”
“We stand not a slightest chance against the High Level Hackers or the Professional White hats.”
“We will be crushed by them like insects!”

“I know that but still, we really need to save Tala!”

“I understand you are worried. She is the first female member we have. “
“Still we can send her a text message to notify her. Our priority is our safety!”

A female voice states
“Unfortunately, I will not allow you to escape this island, two young hackers!”

Turon and Kuku turned around to see Engineer Alissandreux Hadrath Findorr.

Turon and Kuku are surprised to see an old lady preventing their escape.
Engineer Findorr already knows that these kids are underestimating her.

Findorr points her right index finger to the ground. She then points to a wall to the left. She also points to a window and a roof.

Kuku detected a sudden energy disturbance around them.
“Turon stand back. Something is wrong. “
“This old hag did something funny.”

Turon hides behind a wooden crate.
Kuku pulls out his bolo knife which he calls blade of Atormentar.

Findorr smiles
“Not today.”

Findorr points his right index finger to the bolo knife.
Kuku quickly kneels to the ground. The blade is being dragged to the ground.

“I know perfectly well what your weapon can do. I am sorry but I am not interested to have a malfunctioning nervous system.”
“Even the tiniest cut from your knife can inflict the highest pain a brain can imagine.”

Alissandreux points her right and left index finger to a nearby electrical post. The wires snap from the other towers. The cables are slithering toward Kuku.

Turon Kinawayan catches the electrical wires using his bare hands.

“Elemental Engineering ready.”
“Set to electricity!”

Turon violently drains the electricity from the wires causing the transformers to explode.

Alissandreux chuckles.
“I expected that you would drain electricity, just as the reports say from headquarters.”
Engineer Findorr whispers to herself
“I am fortunate to see up front the results of the forbidden project.”
“The revival of the Godslayers.”

Alissandreux Hadrath Findorr smiles in glee. She is going to battle the feared anti energy monster.

Turon Kinawayan picks up a small metal shard not larger than his fist. He throws it to Engineer Findorr.
Alissandreux quickly points her finger and moved the shard towards to the right.
She smiles at Turon showing insult.

Turon wears a serious face. He doesn’t look back at Engineer Findorr.
He then whispers “Liberation!”
Turon released a surge of electricity stored in his body. The electricity bounces to the metal piece and jumps toward the Engineer.

Turon picks up a wooden foundation from nearby debris. He forcefully throws it like a spear towards Alissandreux.
He burns the wood using the remaining electrical energy before it hits Alissandreux.
The wooden foundation breaks apart into a hundred pieces. The flames scatter around the female Engineer, burning her in the process.

[coldfire01]

Kuku is surprised to see Turon’s chain of attacks.

Turon searched for more wood that he can use, but before Turon can secure one, his body started to move on its own. Turon is floating in the air and is slowly moving towards Alissandreux.

Turon is going to be burned by the same flames that are burning the female Engineer.
It is strange that even though Alissandreux body is covered in a blaze, the female engineer doesn’t seem to be worried.

Turon is not worried as well. He is still not looking at his opponent. Turon wears a facial expression that he doesn’t take this fight seriously.

Alissandreux Hadrath Findorr doesn’t like it. She thinks it as an insult being underestimated by Turon.

Turon Kinawayan touched the flame using both hands.
He whispers
“Elemental Engineering Ready.”
“Set to flame!”

Turon forcefully drained the flames surrounding Alissandreux.
The female Engineer is surprised that the flames have disappeared.
While Alissandreux is still confused, Turon released several left and right punches to the female engineer’s face.
He pulled a downward kick at Alissandreux’s forehead.
When the engineer is protecting her face, Turon released a spinning round house kick towards the Engineer’s stomach.

The female Engineer steps back. Her back is pressed against the wall behind her.

Turon is released from the power that binds him. He took this opportunity to release the flames he recently absorbed and throws it back to Alissandreux.

The wall is charred by the burst of red flames, changing everything it touches to black including Engineer Findorr.

Alissandreux managed to wear a smile after all that attack. She proudly shows her white teeth that are still white.
She walks forward away from the wall. The wall shows an impression of her body that is not burned.
She pulls out her handkerchief to wipe off the dirt from her face.

Alissandreux is completely unharmed no matter how strong Turon’s attacks may be.
Her clothes may be covered in black but her body is not burned at all.

“I find this, switching of elements an interesting concept. However it lacks the necessary strength to damage me.”

Alissandreux points at the roof from a house.
The metal roof floats in the air. That sharp edge quickly flies into Alissandreux.
The female engineer used her left arm to guard the incoming object. A loud crashing noise is produced upon impact.

Alissandreux shoves the debris away and throws it near Turon. The metal roof slams to the ground to prove how heavy it is. The sharp edge is now crumpled leaving an impression of the Engineer’s arm.

The female Engineer shows her skin is completely unharmed. Not even a small cut or bruise is visible.

“My body is a lot tougher to be described in this tiny, limited, demonstration.”
“Simply put, my skin, and my very bones are upgraded using latest biological enhancements.”
“It is tough and it maintains a soft texture of a female skin.”

Engineer Findorr pulls out her sleeves showing her flawless white skin.

“Going back, your tricks are nothing but fun parlor games.”
Alissandreux flies towards Turon Kinawayan with great speeds.

Turon Kinawayan is in trouble. He fears that he can never stop this person, an engineer who cannot be damaged by any physical means.
Turon closes his eyes, prepare to guard Alissandreux assault.

The female engineer is about to strike however she steps back.
She continues to lengthen the distance for some reason.

Turon opens his eyes, there he saw another man standing in between him and the Alissandreux Hadrath Findorr.

His name is Ahrek Rituzin. This man managed to cut the female Engineer’s skin, causing Alissandreux to move away.

“Are you alright young hacker?” –Ahrek asks

Turon is still surprised on what Ahrek just did. He can’t understand what has just happened.
No matter how strong Turon’s attack would be, he is unable to inflict damage but for some reason, Ahrek is able to cut her skin.

Ahrek saw Turon doesn’t reply.
“I guess I will take that as a yes.”
Ahrek is relieved to see Turon. He wears his war face again as he faces his opponent.

Alissandreux hates it when someone barges in on someone else’s fight. She decides to let it go. Alissandreux smiles when he saw the sword Ahrek wields.
She points her right index finger towards the Ahrek’s Obliteration Sword.

She commands the blade, “Move away from your owner she commands”. But for some reason, it doesn’t move.

“Ordering inanimate objects like some queen?”
“Lacking budget to buy minions are we? “

Ahrek dashes in for another attack. The female Engineer uses all her five fingers to point at all the houses nearby.
The buildings and random debris are floating in the air, ready to strike Ahrek .

Alissandreux swings her arms, commanding the objects to crush her opponent from all directions.
The debris collides with each other, colliding to Ahrek’s face and to his back.
The clashing rubble created loud noises after the other. A lot of dust disperses in the air because of it.

The female engineer is overjoyed. He expects Ahrek to be strong however he never dodged any of the falling debris. He stood there allowing himself to get hit.

The female engineer gulps when she saw a shadow walking out of the fog of dirt.
Ahrek steps out unharmed.

Alissandreux jumps back to the top of a nearby building to reformulate another plan.

“By the way, I am using the Double Obliteration Swords. “ – Ahrek proudly replies.
“Any assailing attacks do not work on me. May it be bullets, bazooka, or houses flying to my face.”

The female engineer smiles.
“So it seems.”

Alissandreux throws out a couple of beans at the ground. Rocks and soil, slowly merges with the beans.
The mass of dirt encapsulates it. They soon take shape of a sphere. Its height and size is about taller than Ahrek.

Once complete, they float in the air. Balls of dirt are flying around the female Engineer acting as her shields. One of them bursts in flames which Alissandreux calls the sun.

“Behold, a small universe that I govern!”
“A scale model of the solar system!”

“So what now? – Ahrek replies
“You are to show me you can host an outdoor Planetarium?”


“To you, it may seem like a simple parlor trick.”
“You will then disagree when you feel the damage.”

One of the planets is behind Ahrek Rituzin.
Ahrek is being drawn by the gravity created by the mass of dirt.
He prepares to cut the planet however the sword is being drawn by another planet above him.

Alissandreux sits comfortably on top of a large planet probably three times her height.
She watches Ahrek from above.

“Once that man let go of his sword, his body will be torn in shreds by the gravity generated by my lovely planets.”

“This is boring.” – Ahrek replies.

The two planets explode all of a sudden.
Ahrek wears a villainous murdering expression on his face when he looks at Alissandreux

“Here I thought you are a close type fighter after bragging that tough skin of yours.”
“I am sorely disappointed.”

The female Engineer did not speak. She continues to analyze what just happened.

“Let us end this.” – Ahrek replies

Ahrek Rituzin stabs the ground using his sword. The blade stands firm in its place.
While the broad side faces his enemy, Ahrek kicks the other side of the blade just like a soccer player kicks the ball.
Engineer Findorr awaits. She expected for the blade to fly towards her.

But the blade barely moved from its place. Instead of flying towards her, the sword released turbulent shockwaves, tearing the gravitational rocks that formed a straight line in front of him.

Engineer Findorr did not anticipate the attack.
She is angered. The female engineer moves in 4 planets behind Ahrek.

Ahrek draws a circle around him using his right foot. By just the look of it, it seems he just randomly kicked the dirt in the ground.
Ahrek looks at the enemy with an evil smile. He violently stomps the ground using his right foot.
The half crescent line light up a purple light. The ground shoots a beam that is reaching to the sky.
The rays are shining so high, they are already as tall as sky scrapers.
Two planets burst into powder when they touched the beam.

Ahrek has created a distortion field. And on the soil he is stepping on, carries a letter R written in between the circle.
It is Ahrek’s shield. Like a fence that destroys everything that touches it.


Once the planets are crushed, Ahrek leaps from one planet to another. To where the female Engineer is.
Ahrek uses the broad side of the blade to hit Alissandreux’s neck from behind.

The planet that carried Engineer Findorr cracks. It bursts into powder falling to the ground.
Ahrek follows Alissandreux eager to connect another attack.

Ahrek is able to strike the engineer to her spine. However he only used the broad side of the Obliteration sword.
The female Engineer’s body accelerates further to the ground. She slams into the pavement.

Alissandreux is unable to stand up. This time, her enhanced body is heavily damaged.
She is now like an ordinary human. Several ribs are crushed, A broken right arm and several other broken bones.

Ahrek stabs the sword near the right side of Alissandreux’s head.
He kneels right beside her.

Alissandreux felt fear.

Ahrek lifts the blade again. He moves the broad side of the Obliteration sword above Alissandreux’s face.

“Why is it that he only uses the broad side of the blade?” The engineer asks.
“Don’t tell me it’s because…?”

Kuku saw the scene where Ahrek places the sword near the Engineer.

”Amazing. It is like the devil is afraid of the cross.”
“Where Ahrek is the angel and Alissandreux is the demon.”

Moments later, the engineer’s body is heavily pounded by a strange force coming from the Obliteration sword. The energies pummel him just like a jackhammer, crushing anything that is solid into powder.

Alissandreux screams in pain. Few seconds later, she stops speaking.
Blood slowly flows out of her body.

Ahrek stands up and walks away. He hangs the sword to his shoulder, leaving the defeated engineer lying to the ground.

[coldfire01]

Project Elemental Engineer


Phase 5: The Dance of the Global Superpowers: Pt 3


“This is unexpected. So there are two hackers here.” –replies by an unknown man.

Richard Barcadaz turns around. He saw Janus Silverhorn getting off his motorcycle.

Richard’s sight is starting to blur. He kneels in pain as the loud screeching noise gets louder.

Talameia is also hearing loud screeching noises.
She is starting to lose sight of everything around her.

“Hmph the young girl looks down on the White hats but plagiaristic manufacturing pigs.”
“What utter garbage!”

A surviving white hat agent approached Janus Silverhorn. He reports to Janus.
“Sir we apologize if we are unable to isolate the issue.”
“The girl is just way too….”

“The girl never really posed a threat.”
“Focus more on that fake doctor who orchestrated everything!”

Richard heard what Janus just said. He suddenly became well of a sudden.
“It seems the cat is out of the bag. I do wonder who sold me out to these white hats.”
“More importantly, a popular figure is here to personally greet me.”

“Popular? Does it matter for scum like you?”
“But for formalities, my name is Janus Silverhorn. I am one of the Seven R&D Chief Engineers.”
“I am also the Director of the Heaven Brain Institute.”

Richard smiles to see one of the Seven War Merchants of Militaria.

“And you are the famous super human Genetics Architect, Richard Barcadaz am I correct?”

Richard Barcadaz begins to kneel. He hears a loud screeching noise inside his head.

Richard thinks that he may be mesmerized. He assumes he may have inhaled something causing his body to react this way.
Richard slaps his face. He continued to hit his cheek until it turns red.

Janus Silverhorn sighs
“Please do not think. It hurts to see a man of your stature to be this predictable.”
“It is never your fault. “
“It is just that I expected too much.”

Richard Barcadaz feels the pain from his face. The loud noise keeps on screeching in his head.

Janus Silverhorn orders 2 white hat agents to capture Richard.

“Worry not.”
“In his pitiful state, he can show an evil glare but he is already unable to retaliate.” Janus replies.

The white hat agent pulls out their handcuff to bind the wrists of Richard Barcadaz. However before they are able to capture the hacker, one of them faints. Not soon both of them fall to the ground.

Janus Silverhorn is troubled. He is unable to see when the attack began and where it came from.
One thing Janus is certain, it is impossible for Richard to slay the White hat agents.
Not when he continue to read the hacker’s thoughts.

Janus Silverhorn carefully observes the surroundings areas for possible snipers.

“What has just happened? “
“Perhaps a projectile or shot from a pistol?”
“But from where? Maybe something from the debris of a missile?”
“Impossible. Don’t tell me its…”

Richard Barcadaz speaks
“Now this is unexpected. It hurts to see a man of your stature thinking too much.”
“Just a simple miscalculation and I see you flustered.”

Janus Silverhorn is surprised to see Richard is all well.

Richard Barcadaz continues.
“It took me a while to figure out your trick.”
“And it happens to be mind bending capability from a psychic.”

Janus Silverhorn is now serious. He continues to purge deep into Richard’s mind.

Janus is surprised. He is no longer able to read Richard’s thoughts.

Richard Barcadaz
“This is fun.”
“Am I causing stress to a popular psychic of the name Janus Silverhorn?”

“Your mind. What foul procedure have you done to yourself?” – Janus replies.

“And you expect me to tell you?”

Janus Silverhorn feels the innermost thoughts of Richard. However he can’t remove this familiar sensation.
“The feeling of reading an empty mind. “

This is exactly the same when he read the thoughts of a corpse.
“His mind no longer responds.”

A sleeping or unconscious mind should at least carry dreams.
However the mind stops working if the person is no longer among the living.

How is it that Richard Barcadaz able to move and speak with a disabled mind?
The way he stretches his limbs shows he is unaffected at all.

Richard Barcadaz pulls up a laptop computer from his bag.
He opens his Bluetooth application and started to synch something.
The synch is complete and it is to a device inside the missile behind him.

The program begins. Richard entered some commands to his computer.

Green smoke gushes out of the missile.
The gas scatters in the air covering everyone nearby including Richard, Tala and Janus Silverhorn.

Richard Barcadaz begins to smile.
“Now we begin a fair fight!”

Suddenly, Janus Silverhorn vision is starting to blur and gets distorted.
He is starting to see strange objects.
“This fumes ….they causes hallucinations?”
“The air is drugged!”

“Worry not for it is not deadly. Think of it as smoked weeds that rich kids enjoy sniffing.”
“Now then, now you will be unable to read anyone’s mind. Not with a drugged brain of yours!”

Janus Silverhorn covers his mouth to prevent his body from being contaminated.
Richard says it is too late. The air is already covered with several liters of hallucinating chemicals.
The ingredients are so potent that it is considered a hundred times stronger than any illegal drug.


Meanwhile, there seems to be a group of 4 gathering to a restaurant. They are not far from where Richard Barcadaz and Janus is.
This mysterious group noticed that the residents are fleeing away from something.

A police officer announces from a microphone.
“Please do not panic. Our organization has deployed the White Hats to take control of the situation.”

Few moments later, they see green cloud gushing from a neighborhood nearby. The smoke disperses up to the sky.

“There goes the signal.” said by a big muscular man. He is one of the 4 men dining to the same table.

“I haven’t received my meal yet. Must we go?” Reply by a guy who spins a basketball to his index finger.

“We must for this is where we humiliate the arrogant white hats!” Reply from a girl wearing a black leather coat.
This girl wears sharp blades at the tip of her finger nails.

Another guy wearing a mask just nods his head.

The group of 4 soon ran quickly to separate directions.
They stopped to a location where they can surround Richard Barcadaz and Janus Silverhorn.

Our mission is to kill any white hat agent who decides to enter this territory.
The group of 4 is protecting Richard Barcadaz.


Going back, Janus Silverhorn’s body is shaking. His eyes are greatly showing fear.
Janus Silverhorn and the other white hats are seeing weird hallucinations. They see strange objects and mythical creatures. Talameia Bastion is also seeing some scary monsters. All effects of the drug dispersed in the air.
The only man unaffected is Richard Barcadaz.

“Why are you screaming scared all of a sudden? I haven’t done anything to you… yet.” - a sarcastic reply coming from Richard Barcadaz.

Janus Silverhorn, refusing to lose, continues to read the mind of Richard Barcadaz. He is curious on what is going on inside his opponent’s mind.

“It is no use Mr. Psychic.” Richard Barcadaz as he snags the hair of Janus Silverhorn.
“You can no longer read my thoughts.”
“For my mind is no longer inside this skull of mine!”

Richard Barcadaz slams Janus Silverhorns face to the ground.

Janus finds it impossible. Richard’s body moves around without a brain providing the commands.
Not unless it is…

Richard Barcadaz pulls a pistol from a corpse of a white hat agent.
He takes aims to Janus’s skull.
Richard pulls the trigger and killed Janus.

Janus Silverhorn one of the Seven R&D Chief Engineers has fallen.

The missile stopped producing toxic chemicals.

Richard Barcadaz looks up the sky. He stands aimlessly without moving. His body started shaking and he soon grabs his head.
It looks like he is suffering a great deal of pain.

Richard Barcadaz grabs hold of his cellphone. He contacts the group of 4 that surrounds the area.

“I would like to inform you that the greatest threat in this convention has been silenced.”
“Feel free to exterminate all the remaining white hats.”

Richard Barcadaz hangs up the phone.
He just posted a horrible announcement to everyone including the white hats.

The remaining white hats have managed to recover. However they now fear Richard Barcadaz’s power.
Some of the white hats cannot believe Janus Silverhorn lost to a hacker.

Talameia Bastion is upset to see what happened. She punched the ground like she regrets something.


Richard Barcadaz noticed Tala.
“You girl have piqued my curiosity.”
“Your eyes carry the words though you haven’t even spoken. “
“You knew what just happened right?”

Talameia looks at the Robotic Camera dressed as a real bird.

Richard laughs.
“Quite close but you somewhat grasped the idea.”
“But let me give you the complete details.”

Richard Barcadaz explained he transferred some of his thoughts into his computer.
He then commands his mind to go offline.
“Do not think” is the specific instructions to his brain.
When Janus reads his mind, it will just be an empty thought.

A white hat complains. It is impossible for a transfer to happen. Janus should have easily noticed it for he continues to purge the mind of his target even before the battle begins.

Richard says that he already stored the instructions to a computer before Janus arrives.
Even before Richard gathered the White hats before him.

Janus is already reading fake thoughts. Richard acting he is in pain is also part of the plan.

Richard added that he synched his computer to the mechanical bird as his eyes.

It is quite a risky move Richard says. But it is worth the risk if he is to fight one of the most powerful White Hat engineers.


“Your Chief engineer is just caught off guard. I’d be honest; I would have lost against him if I haven’t prepared beforehand. “
“Janus is proficient in any forms of martial arts.”
“He can also destroy my mind without touching me.”
“He lost because he is soft hearted. He should have displayed his full power in a fight and not interrogating his opponents.”
“Because of that, he is defeated by a man like me!”


The white hats cannot believe that Richard outsmarted a psychic engineer.

Richard approached the missile debris. He seems to be looking for something.

Talameia cannot stand it any longer. She runs toward Richard while ripping her left sleeve off from her robe.
The cloth transforms into a sword similar to Mysteltein.

She hastened her steps to approach the hacker.
Tala is about to cut Richard however she stops all of a sudden.

Richard Barcadaz is pleased for he is able to secure the real contents inside the missile.
He equips his wrist band.

“My real weapon, The Coercive Barricade!”
“The ability of this baby is something unseen.”

Richard moves his hands in the air.
It seems he is able to command the sword to move away from Talameia.
When the sword is freed from Talameia’s hands, the blade reverts back to a cotton sleeve.

“Interesting.”
“Your ability is only effective upon the substances you wield.”

Talameia is in trouble for her secret is revealed.

“So if I limit the materials, this will prevent you from creating swords.”

Richard swings his arms in the air.
Mr. Barcadaz looks like he is pulling and pushing something in the air.
Richard sways his arms and grabs something in the air.
Every time he swings his arms, he is able to rip apart Talameia’s clothes.
Richard continues to grab the air. He repeatedly shreds Talameia’s robe.

Talameia struggles to get free. However she is powerless against the invisible force that binds her.

Just when Richard is about to take all of Talameia’s clothes, an atmospheric blast rushes to him.

Richard channeled all his power to block it. By doing so, he accidentally let go of Talameia.

“I recognize this surge anywhere.“
“And I do hate the guy who wields it.”

Just in a half second, Ahrek is behind Richard slashing him downward with his blade.

Richard dodges the pummeling energy coming from the Obliteration sword.
The Obliteration sword continues to hit the ground turning the rock and soil to powder.

Blood is coming out of Richard’s head down dripping down to his right eye.
A successful hit for Ahrek and a bad sign for Richard.

Ahrek changed his stance. He rushes this time for a piercing attack.

Richard counters by creating 4 crystal pillars.
They suddenly emerged from the ground and they move along Ahrek, surrounding him from 4 directions.

The towers burst spiked branches and thorns.
They aggressively pierce Ahrek’s body stopping him from advancing further.

Richard’s laptop slowly floats in the air. Using his left hand to control the crystal spikes, Richard browsed some of the program lists using his right hand.
He selected the appropriate structure program of his choice.

Not far from them, a wrecking ball made of crystal is being created.
On the left, another wrecking ball is being built at the same time.

Once the construction is complete, they both released a crystal ball hammering toward Ahrek.
The ball grew spikes to provide further damage.

“This guy is good. At any rate, he will inflict an extensive damage to my body. “ – Ahrek replies.
“I won’t be able to regenerate if that happens.”

Ahrek stabs his palm using the fingernail on his middle finger.
Red Blood gushes out of the wound. But moments later, it is followed with a black liquid.

The black blood materializes and opened up a dimensional portal.
A hilt of a sword stretches out of the warp hole.
Ahrek grabs on to the hilt and pulls out another sword.

The hammers collided with each other smashing Ahrek.
The clashing crystal balls sounds like shattered glass.

Suddenly, the crystals burst into powder including the hammer ball.

Ahrek emerges from the crystal cloud and dust.
However his shirt and pants ripped and his arm and body has few scratches.
This time he stands carrying two Obliteration Swords on each arm.

The alarm in the entire island is now on highest alert status.
A notice indicating that a dangerous weapon has been released in the area.

“Bad move Ahrek” – by Richard Barcadaz.
“You just alerted every White hats in the entire Eastern Archipelago.”
“Swarms of White jerks will be here soon.”

Project Elemental Engineer


Phase 5: The Dance of the Global Superpowers: Pt 3


?This is unexpected. So there are two hackers here.? ?replies by an unknown man.

Richard Barcadaz turns around. He saw Janus Silverhorn getting off his motorcycle.

Richard?s sight is starting to blur. He kneels in pain as the loud screeching noise gets louder.

Talameia is also hearing loud screeching noises.
She is starting to lose sight of everything around her.

?Hmph the young girl looks down on the White hats but plagiaristic manufacturing pigs.?
?What utter garbage!?

A surviving white hat agent approached Janus Silverhorn. He reports to Janus.
?Sir we apologize if we are unable to isolate the issue.?
?The girl is just way too?.?

?The girl never really posed a threat.?
?Focus more on that fake doctor who orchestrated everything!?

Richard heard what Janus just said. He suddenly became well of a sudden.
?It seems the cat is out of the bag. I do wonder who sold me out to these white hats.?
?More importantly, a popular figure is here to personally greet me.?

?Popular? Does it matter for scum like you??
?But for formalities, my name is Janus Silverhorn. I am one of the Seven R&D Chief Engineers.?
?I am also the Director of the Heaven Brain Institute.?

Richard smiles to see one of the Seven War Merchants of Militaria.

?And you are the famous super human Genetics Architect, Richard Barcadaz am I correct??

Richard Barcadaz begins to kneel. He hears a loud screeching noise inside his head.

Richard thinks that he may be mesmerized. He assumes he may have inhaled something causing his body to react this way.
Richard slaps his face. He continued to hit his cheek until it turns red.

Janus Silverhorn sighs
?Please do not think. It hurts to see a man of your stature to be this predictable.?
?It is never your fault. ?
?It is just that I expected too much.?

Richard Barcadaz feels the pain from his face. The loud noise keeps on screeching in his head.

Janus Silverhorn orders 2 white hat agents to capture Richard.

?Worry not.?
?In his pitiful state, he can show an evil glare but he is already unable to retaliate.? Janus replies.

The white hat agent pulls out their handcuff to bind the wrists of Richard Barcadaz. However before they are able to capture the hacker, one of them faints. Not soon both of them fall to the ground.

Janus Silverhorn is troubled. He is unable to see when the attack began and where it came from.
One thing Janus is certain, it is impossible for Richard to slay the White hat agents.
Not when he continue to read the hacker?s thoughts.

Janus Silverhorn carefully observes the surroundings areas for possible snipers.

?What has just happened? ?
?Perhaps a projectile or shot from a pistol??
?But from where? Maybe something from the debris of a missile??
?Impossible. Don?t tell me its??

Richard Barcadaz speaks
?Now this is unexpected. It hurts to see a man of your stature thinking too much.?
?Just a simple miscalculation and I see you flustered.?

Janus Silverhorn is surprised to see Richard is all well.

Richard Barcadaz continues.
?It took me a while to figure out your trick.?
?And it happens to be mind bending capability from a psychic.?

Janus Silverhorn is now serious. He continues to purge deep into Richard?s mind.

Janus is surprised. He is no longer able to read Richard?s thoughts.

Richard Barcadaz
?This is fun.?
?Am I causing stress to a popular psychic of the name Janus Silverhorn??

?Your mind. What foul procedure have you done to yourself?? ? Janus replies.

?And you expect me to tell you??

Janus Silverhorn feels the innermost thoughts of Richard. However he can?t remove this familiar sensation.
?The feeling of reading an empty mind. ?

This is exactly the same when he read the thoughts of a corpse.
?His mind no longer responds.?

A sleeping or unconscious mind should at least carry dreams.
However the mind stops working if the person is no longer among the living.

How is it that Richard Barcadaz able to move and speak with a disabled mind?
The way he stretches his limbs shows he is unaffected at all.

Richard Barcadaz pulls up a laptop computer from his bag.
He opens his Bluetooth application and started to synch something.
The synch is complete and it is to a device inside the missile behind him.

The program begins. Richard entered some commands to his computer.

Green smoke gushes out of the missile.
The gas scatters in the air covering everyone nearby including Richard, Tala and Janus Silverhorn.

Richard Barcadaz begins to smile.
?Now we begin a fair fight!?

Suddenly, Janus Silverhorn vision is starting to blur and gets distorted.
He is starting to see strange objects.
?This fumes ?.they causes hallucinations??
?The air is drugged!?

?Worry not for it is not deadly. Think of it as smoked weeds that rich kids enjoy sniffing.?
?Now then, now you will be unable to read anyone?s mind. Not with a drugged brain of yours!?

Janus Silverhorn covers his mouth to prevent his body from being contaminated.
Richard says it is too late. The air is already covered with several liters of hallucinating chemicals.
The ingredients are so potent that it is considered a hundred times stronger than any illegal drug.


Meanwhile, there seems to be a group of 4 gathering to a restaurant. They are not far from where Richard Barcadaz and Janus is.
This mysterious group noticed that the residents are fleeing away from something.

A police officer announces from a microphone.
?Please do not panic. Our organization has deployed the White Hats to take control of the situation.?

Few moments later, they see green cloud gushing from a neighborhood nearby. The smoke disperses up to the sky.

?There goes the signal.? said by a big muscular man. He is one of the 4 men dining to the same table.

?I haven?t received my meal yet. Must we go?? Reply by a guy who spins a basketball to his index finger.

?We must for this is where we humiliate the arrogant white hats!? Reply from a girl wearing a black leather coat.
This girl wears sharp blades at the tip of her finger nails.

Another guy wearing a mask just nods his head.

The group of 4 soon ran quickly to separate directions.
They stopped to a location where they can surround Richard Barcadaz and Janus Silverhorn.

Our mission is to kill any white hat agent who decides to enter this territory.
The group of 4 is protecting Richard Barcadaz.


Going back, Janus Silverhorn?s body is shaking. His eyes are greatly showing fear.
Janus Silverhorn and the other white hats are seeing weird hallucinations. They see strange objects and mythical creatures. Talameia Bastion is also seeing some scary monsters. All effects of the drug dispersed in the air.
The only man unaffected is Richard Barcadaz.

?Why are you screaming scared all of a sudden? I haven?t done anything to you? yet.? - a sarcastic reply coming from Richard Barcadaz.

Janus Silverhorn, refusing to lose, continues to read the mind of Richard Barcadaz. He is curious on what is going on inside his opponent?s mind.
