Chapter 7

“were now here mark, back to civilization.” josh said as they landed on the port of caraga in davao oriental

They were both now at the port where the port officials all wonder what happened to them. It was already about 6pm as josh last checked his watch.
”its josh mavric!”

“yes, it is! What are you doing here?! and all wet!”

“i was just rescuing this boy from certain doom in the seas.” josh said as the port officials all have no comment. “For now, can I go towards a hotel where we can have a nice shower?”

“y-yes! Of course! But you must also explain to us what just happened along the way.”

“sure, thats no problem.” josh said before they all go towards a car

Inside the car, josh explained everything that has happened during his trip to the pacific ocean, which the port officials have no comment on aside from sadness. Even as they left josh with the boy in that hotel, as the boy wouldnt leave his side, josh booked a room for both of them on that hotel.

“hey mark, can you wash yourself by the way?” josh asked mark when they got inside the room

“yes, I can.” mark said as he sat on a bed

“good, though we have to also dry up what your carrying right now. Can you give it to me?” josh said as mark nears him

As josh looks closely at the boy, he was like an american kid, right about 8-10 years old.

“can you promise not to take this away from me?” mark

“sure, I wont. Im just gonna dry that as well.” josh

“what about you mister? When are you going to get a bath?” mark

“after you mark, besides, I can dry myself a bit.” josh said laying his hand out

“alright then, here it is.” mark said as he gave to josh the remote control of the drone

“this is like a remote control of sorts for a drone! This is what that idiot boss left for his only child?” josh said as he gripped the handle of the remote

“dont be mad mister.” mark said comforting josh
”the name is josh kid, josh mavric, remember that.” josh said patting marks head

“my name is mark skipper by the way! Say, do you know where dad might be?” mark

“im afraid that hes long gone mark, im sorry.” josh

“its alright. He was a good dad to me, and taught me many things. Though he was still very busy with his work.” mark

“what was his work by the way?” josh

“his normal work is being the head professor at an english university. Though I don’t go there, they say that my dad was meant for great things.” mark

“and where is your mom?” josh

“my moms dead, giving birth to me.” mark

“oh, alright then. Can you take a bath for now?” josh

“ok.” mark said as he heads towards the bathroom

“please put your clothes on your bed later so that I can also dry them!” josh said before mark agrees

While mark was also bathing, josh turned on the remote for the drone to see what was captured. After a few minutes of watching, he saw what might be signs of a lost city under the sand, all before the drone itself was crushed due to pressure.

“this really is the find of the century. I have to report this to general cesar.” josh said being surprised and all

as he also dries his phone using the hair dryer that he asked from the reception, 2 souls came to him.

“thank you.” the souls said before they vanished

“hahh.. if only the father hadnt gone to this adventure of his, his son would still have a father to look up to. Hahh..” josh sighed at the thought

After finishing the drying of his phone, he checks if it still works before making a call to president dutuer

“hello sir dutuer! Its josh speaking!”

“oh! how has it been josh?--”

“im fine, but please listen to what I have to say.”

“is it an emergency?”

“no, but I just have to report to someone for this.”

“alright then, let me hear about it.”

Josh then told his report about his mission in both libya and the pacific ocean.

“i see. So, where is the boy now?”

“hes with me in a hotel. Im planning to head for manila by tomorrow.”

“dont bother. i will have someone come to you instead.”

“really? Thank you mr president.”

“no need for thanks! You have saved me a lot of trouble with the drug problem. If only you would also help with my problem with the communists.”

“like I said, the problem with the communists lies not in violence, but more on how to prevent them from recruiting more young soldiers for their cause, which makes it seriously complicated to handle.”

“even you cant handle such a task huh.”

“yes, since I really don’t know the solution to the communist problem, I can only assume to for you to stop them from recruiting more rebels from their means like hypnotism and such.”

“yes, right. Anyways, I will contact the US president myself for your report on your mission to monitor both parties of treasure hunters.”

“yes, they were really a handful.”

“thank you for that mr president. And thank you for tomorrow.”

“save it for tomorrow josh, and good night.” dutuer said before he cuts the line

“hey josh! Im done!” mark said right after his phone call was finished

“good. Now its my turn to wash.” josh said as he grabs his towel

After a nights sleep at the hotel, they were then accompanied by military personnel in the morning, back towards davao city where the mayor was waiting in place of the president.

“glad to finally meet you josh mavric, im shara dutuer.” shara said reaching out her hand

They were now at davao airport where josh was scheduled to be picked up by a helicopter, towards manila. Where josh things were also picked up from the previous hotel that he stayed.

“yes, glad to meet you too miss dutuer, and thanks.” josh said shaking her hand

“you know my dad, just call me shara.” shara

“alright miss shara, and may I ask on what business would you have for me?” josh
”well, lets talk over a drink of coffee at mcdonalds.” shara

“oh, I don’t drink coffee anymore. My mom is very pesky when it comes with me and coffee.” josh

“alright then. I will treat you to a burger and fries, you have travelled a long distance from caraga have you not? And I also want to hear from you your adventures.” shara

“sure, its no problem right mark?” josh said to mark

“yes, I would like to eat now. Im starving.” mark said with a smile

They then ate at mcdonalds where josh told shara of all his adventures.

“please do make sure to not tell anyone else about my adventures or missions, alright?” josh

“yes, yes. I get it. Dad wont even tell me what your adventures were like.” shara

“well, is it time yet?” josh

“oh, its already time now. Well, glad to have spoken with you josh.” shara

“no, it was my pleasure.” josh said as they shook hands again

With that, they parted ways and josh flew towards manila, just to meet with president dutuer at the malacanang for a meeting.

“say josh, did shara say anything to you?” dutuer

They were now at dutuers office where they held a small meeting

“nope, its only that she wishes to hear all about my adventures, and the truth behind them.” josh

“i see. Hahh.. anyways, can I also see the whats in the video?” dutuer said to mark who was still the one holding the remote for the drone

“sure, though what are you going to do with it after watching?” mark

“we are just going to take the memory card and give the remote control back to you.” dutuer

“nope, I want both. Its a reminder of what i had before all this.” mark
”sir, how about just copying the memory card?” josh

“that sounds fair enough.” dutuer

“if I will still have both, then I agree.” mark said as he hands over the remote control of the drone

“say, is this battery operated?” dutuer

“the last time I checked, its batteries are built in. And the batteries are currently low right now. So its better if you just copy the memory card before viewing it.” josh

“alright then.” dutuer said as he signals for his secretary to buy another memory card

After a while of josh reporting or telling dutuer about all his adventures, buying a memory card, and copying the contents, dutuer was finally able to watch the video from the remote control.

“like, wow. I cant believe all that is just under the sea!” dutuer

“yes, I would agree.” josh

“whats more, you have also directed others towards the direction of 2 other lost cities. Its certainly the discovery of the century!” dutuer

“Yes, I know.” josh

“josh, you should really ask for more secrets to the souls. What secrets would those souls have about our past.” dutuer

“sir, some things are more important than the past or any other treasure in the world, so I would like to have you remember that.” josh

“ah, yes. Sorry I lost my cool back there.” dutuer

“anyways, what should we do with mark here?” josh

“as for that, I already have a plan. In fact, can I ask if you have a suit?” dutuer

The next day, josh was sent to england by dutuer as the temporary guardian of mark, and for another reason. As josh and mark arrived at the london airport, they were both greeted by a man in black, who drove them both towards the royal palace.

"Ah! There is josh mavric!" The queen said

They were now at the dining room where josh was taken to for lunch. There sitting beside the queen was a girl and a man.

"Greetings your majesty, queen mary jewels, on what occasion do i owe the pleasure of you calling me?" Josh

"I have heard all about your exploits, or your latest mission, and decided to give you an award for saving that dear boy." Mary said as she stood up from the table

"Oh? From where have you heard?" Josh said as he nears the queen

"From president dutuer of course, he intended to call the americans first, but called me instead as the boy is a citizen of england." Mary

"I see. And who might these people be?" Josh

"This is edward, the first prince and his daughter, eliza jewels." Mary said as she points to them

Both of them stood up so that they can go to josh.

"Edward jewels, first prince. I have already heard a lot about you josh mavric, and saw what you did at america. I even thought that it might be the end." Edward

"Yes, if you werent even there, it would have been. Eliza jewels by the way." Eliza said doing a curtsy

"Josh mavric, just your ordinary soul warrior, at your service." Josh said as he also bowed like a gentleman

"You call yourself ordinary? What jest!" Edward said laughing

"No, i mean it! My gifts were all given to me by the gods, and death itself, so im only a regular soul warrior." Josh

"I see that your humble, i can see that. But too much humility is like bragging, so just believe if we say that your not ordinary." Eliza

"Alright then, i will accept that as a compliment." Josh

"In any case, care to join us for lunch josh?" Mary

"Sure, it would be my pleasure." Josh

"Josh mavric, care to join me by my side?" Eliza said offering her hand

"Oh? Your quite the daring lady." Josh giving his hand

Both of them then goes to the queens right side to be seated.

"So you know your manners, thats good." Edward

"Yes, aside from anime, i did also learn from movies." Josh

"Anyways, as we eat, care to indulge us with your stories?" Mary

"Are you sure? You are one thing, but are you sure they can also listen?" Josh

"Can we mother?" Edward said as mary was thinking

"Alright then. As the next in line, you should also know this." Mary

"And what about me grandma?" Eliza

"Well, if you can keep your mouth shut on this, then you can listen as well." Mary said with a smile

"Yes!" Eliza said under her breath

"Haha, alright then. I will tell you guys everything." Josh said before the story telling started

Josh then told all about his adventures in a wholesome manner

"Like, wow. That was some kind of adventure you have, and in just a matter of how many months!" Edward said by the time josh finished

"Yes, but im afraid that im still far from my goal." Josh said as he finished eating

"And what is that?" Edward

"To correct the balance of the world, which also would mean that i would also need to eliminate wars eventually." Josh

"I see." Edward

"But no one can always eradicate wars josh, what your aiming is like a frog wanting to fly." Mary

"Yes, were all sinners in a way. so we cant eliminate wars as long as we stay self centered upon shallow ideals such as winning and losing, specially with pride." Josh

"So its true, that you are wise as you are intelligent." Eliza

"It just depends on the situation." Josh

"So how does one become like you josh?" Edward

"Now that, i will keep as a secret. I dont want just anyone to make a soul warrior as they please, it would be chaos!" Josh

"Oh, come on josh. Your goal is still far from reach is it not? Arent you tired already?" Edward

"No worries, my parents understands and fully supports me in my efforts. And i can always make more soul warriors myself, but without proper training and mindset, its just like giving an armed nuke to a baby." Josh

"But you also said right? With great power comes with great responsibility and sacrifice, so making soldiers--" edward

"Like i said sir edward, i wont tell." Josh

"Hahh.. fine, though can you just tell us, as a form of trust?" Edward

"And isnt holding unto such a big secret like a burden to you? Specially when you always need to tell the truth to the public. You also said that ignorance is bliss." Mary

"Hahh.. Alright then, though you must not dare tell anyone else about this, alright?" Josh

"Yes, we wont." Mary said as they all agree

"I will still mention this, even though i have already stated it in my interview the other time. Ways of activation: be activated by me, be activated by those activated by me, years of practice after activation of third eye, near death situations which activates the third eye, be activated under the same conditions as me, and be activated injecting the blood of soul warriors." Josh

"Wow, thats quite many." Eliza

"Yes, even though many, the chances of success are very low." Josh

"I see. If it was just that simple, why didnt you--?" Edward

"Like i said, its like giving an armed nuke to a baby. Also, havent you forgotten what hapoened in america?" Josh

"Yes, sorry for all his questions josh. Hes just very curious about you, thats all." Mary

"Mom, even though i maybe curious of josh, it doesnt mean im already a fan." Edward

"You arent? You always like to watch the news on how josh fought the elementals." Eliza

"Hahh.. why are you two ganging up against me." Edward said as both eliza and mary looked at each other smiling

"Thats the fate of men sometimes sir edward, you cant evade it. Just like with me." Josh said with a gesture

"A-anyways, we should be going now. Its already time for our next appointment." Edward

"Your right, its already 15 minutes past 1! We have to go now dad!" Eliza said standing up

"Alright then, you can both go now. Tell your wife my regards." Mary

As edsard stood up, eliza gave josh a kiss on the cheek before both of them exits the room.

"I still have my doubts about sir edward, your majesty. He seems like very eager to do something with that info." Josh

"Dont mind him, i have always known him and he will keep your secret just fine. Though i do worry about him sometimes, which is why i wont step down from my position just yet." Mary

"I see. If i may say something, your hunch might be on the spot. Since thats what my hunch is also telling me anyways. Oh, and im also leaving mark here with you." Josh

“oh yeah, I almost forgot about the boy. don’t worry, my men will take care of him.” mary

As mark was also sitting beside josh, he just agreed and didn’t say anything due to many sudden events that he cant keep up.

"In any case, i will just contact you as well on the details of the awarding ceremonies. It was nice chatting with you by the way." Mary

"You too your majesty." Josh said before he stood up

With that, he exits the palace and into his hotel, where he did nothing but watch the news and watch anime.

"Hahh.. im bored." Josh

Josh just got done with the shower where he is going to change for the night.

"Do becareful what you wish for partner." Gilgamesh

"Yeah, i know." Josh said with a smile

*Doorbell rings*

"Whose there?" Josh said before he opens the door

As he opened the door, it was eliza which has visited him.

"Hi." Eliza said with a smile

"Oh boy." Josh said before he slowly closes the door

"Hold on there josh, cant we just talk?" Eliza said preventing the door from shutting

"Hahh.. fine. Come on in." Josh said walking towards his bed

Eliza then happily enters the room and closing the door behind her.

"Are you happy that im here right now?" Eliza said smiling

"Yes and no. Yes, im happy that you came, and im not because this might cause a ruckus." Josh said as he sat on the bed

"What kind of answer is that? Anyways, you dont have to worry about anything. No one has followed me here." Eliza

"Alright then, what do you want?" Josh

"Im kind of infatuated with you, you know. You have all that power and yet you just want to be lazy all the time." Eliza said as she sat beside josh

"Whose even lazy? Im working here for a living you know. It just happened that i need to deliver the boy to complete my mission." Josh

"Calm down, i get it. You already told us all about that, though i wonder on what really drives you to be a hero josh." Eliza

"Well, its just that the gods have given me a second life, which they chose me to bring balance to the world." Josh

"Based on your story, i thought that astral projection is kind of an easy teachnique or something that they always say on social media." Eliza

"Nope, there are always no shortcuts in life, which is why astral projection is kind of dangerous. One wrong step and your soul might never come back." Josh

"Oh, ok. No comment about that. Anyways, can you make me a soul something?" Eliza

"Huh? What brought that up? And why?" Josh

"You know, im friends with sara fujisaki, and she always tells me about you in our chat." Eliza said with a chuckle

"Oh, so what did she say?"

"She always said that you were the perfect person and the perfect teacher for her, though i wonder about that."

"Hey, im just an ordinary per--"

"Save that line for peoplewho dont know, like i said before, too much humility is like an insult."

"Pride is nothing compared to doing the right thing." Josh said as he patted her

"Hey, stop that. Your embarassing me, and you also dare touch a princess?"

"Haha, right now, only i have the power to do so. You already know dont you?"

"Yes, yes. I know. Well, your also kind of handsome and cute so i will let it slide. You can always pass off as an asian artist you know that?"

"Yes, i know. But i refrain from being like that and all, since getting attention in all places is quite troublesome as it seems."

"Your right about that. I even hope to become a soul something so that i can basically travel and see the world, just like what sara is doing now."

"A soul warrior miss eliza, but whats wrong with your current life?"

"Just call me eliza. And its just that i want to be free, free enough to gain more knowledge."

"You know eliza, your like me in the past, before i had work. Though the outside work is really not something anyone always expects it to be, which is why i was betrayed in the first place."

"I can see that. Even still, i wish to know more, and feel more."

"So your basically prepared no matter what it takes then?" Josh said as he stood

But as he stood up, his towel got loose and she ended up seeing his manhood.

"Whoa! Sorry about that!" Josh

"no worries about that, sara did also say that you were also amazing in bed.” eliza said as she stood. “lets see about that.” she said as she also put her arms on his shoulders

“whoa, arent you speeding things up?”

“i like it this way. don’t worry, I wont regret ever giving my virginity to someone so very sexy and wise.” eliza said as she closes in to kiss him

“oh boy.” josh said as he was kissed

“can you lead the way? My super hero.” eliza said as she gives a small laugh

After that, they then enjoyed the night where josh gave her loads of love and passion.

“hey josh, what will you do until you get the schedule for the awards ceremony?” eliza said on the bed

It was now early morning and both of them just finished bathing.

“nothing, maybe just eat and sleep here in the hotel. How about you? Wont sir edward be very concerned where you are?” josh said as he change into some clothes

“dont worry about that, I told him that im sleeping over at a friends place. Oh, by the way, can I have your autograph?” eliza

“whats that for?”

“its for my friend, since im using her as an excuse to see you.”

“i see. Alright then. Where do I sign?”

“there is a pen and paper there at the desk right? You can always use that.”

“oh, alright then.” josh said as he went towards the desk to get that piece of paper and sign

“umm.. if you want, since you have nothing better to do today, we can always roam around london for the day, since its a Saturday.”

“are you sure about that? But what if word from the queen gets late?”

“then I remind grandma about it. If still no word, we can always go again on a trip the next day.”

“dont tell me, you intend to repeat the process until I get that schedule right?”

“yup!” eliza said with a smile

“hahh.. alright then. Though I doubt that schedule for the awards ceremony wont be long.”

“just why do you say that josh? don’t you want to go out with me?”

“i like to, but wont that cause trouble if your seen on public?”

“well, I have you anyways, so I know I will be safe no matter where I go.”

“hahh.. fine. Get dressed already eliza, we cant be late for the trip.” josh said throwing her shirt on the bed

With that, they then got going, where josh “visited” their mansion as per elizas excuse plan.

*doorbell rings*

They were now at the front door of elizas mansion

“why, its my lady. How was your stay at veronicas?”

“it was the same as ever, though I just happen to bump with josh mavric along the way and invited him here.” eliza

“i see, so this is the josh mavric that master edward is always talking about. Im rudolf shush, pleased to meet you mr josh.” rudolf said as he reached out his hand

“pleased to meet you as well.” josh said as he shook hands with him

“Anyways, where is dad?” eliza

“if your looking for master edward, hes gone on a business meeting early in the morning.” rudolf

“oh, I see. Anyways, josh, don’t you have something to say?” eliza

“haha, you say it.” josh

“well, its always for the gentlemen to ask the lady am I right?” eliza

“well, you were the one who suggested it, so why don’t you just tell them already?” josh

“whats really the matter my lady?” rudolf

“hahh.. fine. I invited his sorry butt on a trip around london since he sounded all lonely after all.” eliza

“it was true I was kind of lonely, but--” josh

“no buts! You have just been invited by me right? So get it together!” eliza

“hahh.. fine. sir rudolf, can I borrow this girl of yours out for a trip?” josh said with an irritated smile

“rudolf is fine. My lady can really be like that, but shes kind at heart. so if you can get along with her--” rudolf

“i know. Shes kind, yet arrogant. and I will get to know her still along the trip.” josh said as eliza smiled

“oh, your kind as well sir josh. Anyways, care for breakfast before your trip?” rudolf pointing towards the dining room

“if you insist, then so I shall.” josh

After breakfast, they then go on a trip around london, with rudolf driving the car. In the meantime, where edward was heading to was at a secret location where only members are allowed to enter.

“is this everyone already?”

They were now at an underground dungeon inside a castle, where they were walking towards a certain room, 8 people in total including edward.

“yes sir jack.”

“thank you miss ella. How is the security around the area?” jack

“all green.”

“thank you sir william, we don’t want any other distractions after all on what we are about to do today.” jack

“and thank you sir jack for lending us your castle for what we are about to do now.” ella

“no problem at all! In any case, sir edward here has been kind enough to provide us with the necessary materials for this experiment, which saves us the effort of taking some homeless guy from the streets.” jack

“yes, we all thank each other. And most important of all, I provided all that is needed in our experiment. So, am I now included in your circle?” edward
”yes, after the experiment works anyways.” jack said as the others agreed

“were here.” ella said as they stopped at the room

They then entered to be in a monitor room, monitoring over maybe 50 patients, which are about to be tested.

“is this what general alex herm was suppose to be experimenting on?” edward said as he saw all the patients

“yes, though your surprised now when you were the one who approved us to take as many prisoners as we want?” jack

“no, but I didn’t think that you would take this many prisoners out.” edward

“hmm.. no point in being surprised now sir edward, your one of us now, you have to get used to scenes like this.” jack said as the others agree
”a-alright then. Though if this experiment is successful, this would also be able to give us powers as well right?” edward

“yes, with this experiment, we will become gods ourselves. We just cant let josh mavric, that nuisance, have all the power in the world.” william

“Yes, I would agree with sir william.” lily said as the others agree

“in any case, this may also let us reach the gods themselves if possible.” julian

“if your all done day dreaming, shall we begin?” jack

“yes.” they all said and agreed

“dr julia stuart, prepare the patients for the experiment.” jack

“are you sure about all this sir? If we happen to fail, it would be like america again.” julia

“which is why we are to keep the dosages low right? Besides, we also have some of the blood from josh sister, thanks to sir robert here.” jack

“it was really hard getting that blood from the pentagon itself.” robert said with confidence

“but will this really be necessary for the world? I mean--” julia

“shut up and just do your work doctor. Your already in this too deep, its too late for you to just quit on us.” jack

Frustrated, julia goes back to her work, initializing for the initial stages of the experimentation.

“begin phase 1!” julia said towards the workers on the other side of the monitor room.

As the order was stated, the experiment began, which was almost the same as the experiment being conducted by general alex. As the african shamans work their way with acupuncture, there were also masks which let the patient breath marijuana, all of them being injected by the blood of josh sister and of the dead elementals, and as all the patients listen to low frequency hypnosis. After a few seconds, nothing happened, but something happened after waiting for a couple of minutes.

“is it still not happening?” jack
”yes, it still isnt. Though I surmise that the failure came from over dosage, which is why the elementals was born the last time this kind of experiment was conducted.” julia

“i can see that, but the progress is just all too slow!” jack

“patience my friend, we will get there in a couple more minutes.” william

“wait, something is happening on patient 32! and then on 23! and on 20!” julia

“its like a chain reaction!” edward said in excitement and fear

“damn! Vitals are steadily rising! They are waking up!” julia

With their vitals spiking, the patients or prisoners were then activated. But as soon as their vitals spiked, their vitals were steady again, as if the storm has passed and they sleep once more.

“whats going on?” edward
”tch! Probably a mulfunction?” jack said as the others worry

“i don’t understand! They seemed to have woken up a moment ago, but now they are all just sleeping!” julia

“damn it! I don’t care anymore! Increase the dosage!” jack

“i wont! I wont have another american incident happening here in london!” julia

“tch! Move it! I will test myself instead!” jack said as he opened the door towards the other side

As he goes inside, he smelled the very strong smell of marijuana which can make anyone dizzy in an instant. But as he still keeps on going, jack then pushes forward and towards an empty operating table where they all saw him ordering.

“give me the same treatment as them! Now!” jack said as he lies on the operating table with his naked upper body
”ok.” said the workers inside who all wore hazmat suits who tended to jack

“are you sure about this sir jack?” julia said in the comms

Jack then gave the go signal as he has no mic to respond with. After a moment of preparation, jack was ready for the experiment.

“ladies and gentlemen, like who is going to give the go signal?” julia said to the others who were just standing

“how about edward! Hes perfect for the role!” The others said after a moment as they didn’t want to have responsibility

“whusses.” julia said under her breath

“wh-what? Me? You think that I should give the signal?” edward

“yes, we trust you.” ella said as the others also agrees

“damn it, here goes nothing. On behalf of the illuminati, start the operation!” edward

“ok, guys, go for it! Start phase 1!” julia said on the comms towards the workers inside

They then started the operation on jack, where he was first given anesthetic to make him sleep before the operation. They did everything again on jack where he too had a spike in vitals, but this time, he woke up with a roar.

"Ugh.. my head.. and whats with this sudden surge of energy im feeling! Its like, my soul is on fire!" Jack said as he sit upright and removes the mask

"Congratulations sir jack, you have made it. How are you feeling now?" Julia said on the comms

"Im feeling, great! Like what i have never felt before! And i can 2 balls of light hanging above me! Speaking like they are my grandparents!" Jack

"Wait, something is wrong. All the other patients are now waking up!" Julia said towards edward

"Lets just now see what happens." Edward

"But i havent given them anesthetic since their operation was over." Julia said worried

"Yes, i know. Lets just watch."

It was also then that all of the prisoners woke up from their slumber.

"Whats this?!"

"Why am i strapped into this?"

All of the prisoners were questioning on why they were strapped, and there were also about 3 men who broke out of the straps due to their new found strength.

"Whats this? Its like im stronger than ever!" Said one of the 3

"Quick, release me from my straps." Jack said to the workers, which they also did

The workers who were undoing the straps were also shaking from fear when they saw the 3 who broke the straps

"Oh? What do we have here?" Said the 1st one who sees a group of balls of light around them

"I see a lot of bright balls around me, surrounding me." Said the 2nd one

The third one gave a roar instead, since the balls of light made him unable to see, which dispursed the surrounding balls of light around them

"Hey! Whats the big deal!" The 1st one said who punched the wall and cracked it

"Wow! How did you do that?!" 2nd one

"It seems that we are now more powerful than ever!" 3rd one

"My brothers and sisters! Lets now welcome a new age where all of us now wields power! Though this might be beyond josh mavrics power, we can now have the power to do as we please! Without the rest of the world preventing us from doing it!" Jack said as he stood up near the operating table

"What are you saying?" 1st one

"Im saying that we have the power to do everything that we want to do!" Jack

"Yes, i get what your saying, but i dont like you. You smell like one of those rich guys." 2nd one said who walks towards him

"Yeah! I agree!" Said the 1st one as the 3rd one follows

"Its as you say, but im no longer just a rich guy, for i am a soul warrior!" Jack said with a gesture

"What the hell are you saying?! Huh?!" All 3 of them intimidating him at close range

"All im saying is this!" Jack said as he punched one of them in the face but failed due to their toughness

"What the hell are you doing?" One of them said as he raised his hand to attack

In that instant, jack did a judo flip on that one and destroyed the operating table behind him

"What have you done?!" Said both of them who also attacked him but was countered with his aikido.

"Good thing i did martial arts back in the day." Jack said wiping off his sweat

But the 1st one suddenly rose up and did a bearhug, crushing jack slowly

"You got nowhere to go and no more moves to--"

In that instant, he did a flip, using the strength of his opponent. But as all 3 rose up from the ground, jack had nothing else to do but counter, so he thought immediately on what josh might do. So jack turned from counter to attacking, where he eventually killed the 2 by piercing his hand on their stomachs.

"Damn it! Damn you!" The last one said before he was able to punch jack in the face, grazing it as jack tries to evade

"You really did it.. you dare punch my face you pleabian!" Jack said with anger and for a second, it frightened the enemy at sight

"Y-you dont scare me!" The enemy said as he was shaking

With a flash of inspiration, it gave jack an idea on what his power might be.

"Kneel!" Jack said with a gesture and force

"L-like.. i.. will!" The enemy said, resisting his fear and the power to be subdued

"Kneel! Or else!" Jack said with all his anger

With that order, the enemy or kneeled while he peed on his pants.

"With this power, i can literally control people to do my bidding! but it isnt enough to reach josh mavric! I need more power!" Jack said as he grabbed one of the balls of light before all of them ran away

With that ball of light, jack literally ate it, before he felt the power surge within him, like a new power added to his own.

"I feel the power inside me! Telling me what to do! I must have more!" Jack said as one more soul tries to attack him

He grabs that other soul and ate it. But after jack ate that soul, he got an idea on what he should do, and which is to kill all others and take their powers as well.

"I see now what i must do." Jack said before he faced the thug kneeling at the floor, looking at him

"Please spare me o magnificent one, please."

"No, i need more power!" Jack said with bloodshot eyes before he also killed the thug

He then walked towards the nearest patient, who was a woman

"Its a shame to kill a woman really, though whats this feeling i have? Im feeling hot right now, as if.." jack said as he got an idea on what he might be feeling right now

With the woman lying on the table and strapped, jack then ripped her clothes and raped her.

"You guys should also try being a soul warrior too! Its really opening a new door to what josh really is feeling!" Jack said as he raped the woman

And at the monitor room, they all literally have no words to speak due to all the mixed feelings about what they are seeing.

"Hes gone mad." Julia said under her breath

"Wh-who wants to be next?" Edward said as everyone else was very quiet about what they are seeing.

"If no one will go, then maybe i will be next." Edward

"What?! Your jumping out in front of us sir edward? When your just new to this organization?" William

"B-but who is going to go next then?" Ella

"How about we will all go?" Lily

"Sounds like a plan to me!" Robert said as the others slowly agrees

"Are you guys insane? You really wish for power just like that?!" Julia

"Yes." All of them agreed

"Suit yourselves. Im totally not going to be an animal like you guys." Julia

"How about you edward, you in?" Carter said with a gesture

"Y-yes, im in." Edward said after a moment of hesitation

With that, they also strap themselves into 6 other operating tables and received the same procedure and achieved the same result as jack, they all woke up awakened and feeling a lot of power within them.
