Chapter 10

“hey dad, whats your secret?”

Josh was watching anime at one time at his house, where one of his daughters asks him, bringing all of his sisters along.

“what secret cleo?” josh
”your secret to being so fit. My friends say that a boys charm is hidden in his face and abs.” cleo

“ah, but would you like to ask bushra about that?” josh

“nope. Mommy bushra is busy with stuff, so she asks me to go to you.” cleo

“i see. You know, soul warriors like your moms and I use a lot of energy just by using our powers, so thats why I never got fat. Unlike some fathers in my age.” josh

“dad, why did you limit our siblings to just 2 for each?” xena

“wh-what did you say?” josh said surprised

“yeah, I want a baby sister.” holly said as the girls agree

“well, its kind of difficult to explain, but you will know once you girls get of age.” josh

“eh? But we want to know.” cindy said as the girls complained

“alright, alright. Your moms and I decided that 2 is enough for us. If you want another, ask your moms.” josh said smiling

“oh, and dad, how come we can see glowing lights sometimes while the others don’t?” cherry

“thats because you also got my blood running through your veins, all of your veins.” josh

“whats that gotta do with--” xena
”thats because im the chosen one who will bring balance to this world.” josh

“but does this world really need more balance?” mica

“yes, it does, so bad. Crimes are now higher than ever before, and wars in the middle east are now more fiercer.” josh

“then why are you here dad? You are a hero right?” cindy

“yes, I am. Though im retired, and there is nothing left for me to balance out. Other than change the entire system that we humans have put ourselves on.” josh

“what does that mean?” cherry

“it just means that there is an enemy that even I cant yet defeat out there, and im just waiting for them to slip up.” josh

“now that, we understand.” cindy

“anyways, is it true dad that a boys charm is hidden in his face and abs?” cleo said as the girls all listen

“you know, it really depends on how you look at a person that you will become attracted to them. For me, I was attracted to your moms not only physically, but also spiritually. And it goes both ways.” josh

“so our moms also feel like that with you dad?” xena

“probably, though you have to ask them personally.” josh

“well, mommy trina always gets blood from patients and herself, why wont you get your blood as well dad?” cherry

“what brought that up cherry?” josh

“well, mommy trina is always busy with work, so I thought I might become a doctor one day so that I can also care for patients just like her. She seems so fulfilled when helping with patients.” cherry

“i see. As for the reason why I don’t get my blood like your moms, is that mine is a little bit special.” josh

“why special dad?” cindy
”because who ever will decode my dna might do bad things. And humans are very unstable creatures, even though they made a system to make everything stable.” josh

“now thats deep.” xena

“haha. Your mommy trina always begs for me to get my blood though, but I keep on declining.” josh

“why not? You can always trust mommy trina!” mica said as the girls agree

“oh, alright then. I will try.” josh said as the girls smiled

“dad, why did mom end up with you?” holly

“well, its kind of complicated. Though you have to ask them for that.” josh.

“is it because you enjoy sex? Like all boys do?” xena

“sex isnt just for fun you know. Anyways, you girls should go along and play house or something.” josh

“wont you come and play with us?” holly

“i can, but what would we play? Aside from playing house.” josh

“oh man, but we also wanted to play house with you.” holly said as the girls were sad

“hahh.. go play with you brothers instead.” josh
”don’t you remember that they have lessons today?” cherry

“oh, sorry for that. Haha. I have to talk with mommy trina for now, can you girls play by yourselves?” josh

“eh? but we ran out of things to play with.” mica said as the girls agree

“dont worry about that, I will also talk to your moms about giving you lessons as well.” josh

“yey! And we will be with our brothers!” the girls said as they celebrated

“alright then, I will talk with your moms for now, can you girls play with something or just watch anime?” josh said as he stood

“but what is with anime that made you interested in it dad? Its just cartoons.” holly

“i think its alright, since we all get our imagination from anime right?” cleo

“yes, but why is it so interesting anyways? Is it because of you dad?” holly

“probably, I don’t know. But anime is also a product of mans imagination and progress right? Just like novels are as well.” josh

“ah, ok. We get it. We also inherited from you your appreciation of art and sciences, is that right dad?” xena said as the girls agree

“probably. Anyways, just watch what you girls like to watch on TV for now. But don’t just turn on the volume too much alright?” josh said as he walks towards the kitchen

“yes dad.” the girls said as they play rock paper scissors on who gets the remote

Then at the kitchen, josh calls for trina while she was still at work.

*ring*

“hello dear, im still looking at a pile of papers here.”

“haha, I have disturbed you at a wrong time it seems.”

“nah.. time is always gold when it comes to you dear. What is it?”

“did you just tell our daughters about your proposal to me?”

“what proposal?”

“the part where the hospital will analyze my blood?”
”ah, yes. Sorry dear, it might have been a slip of the tongue.”

“no worries, it cant be helped if you were very tired that day right?”

“yes, im very sorry about that dear. So, about the blood sample, what do you think?”

“i think its good and all, but you do know that a lot of people might be aiming for my blood.”

“why is that? Under the new law, we are also required to make a blood donation for the UN right?”

“yes, but--”

“hahh.. I know that you don’t want to donate blood, which is why--”

“yes, yes. I know. Which is why you girls are the ones who donated your blood instead of mine.”

“the government and military is always asking for it every year as well! So be a man and just donate some of your blood!”

“hahh.. if only the illuminati didn’t exist.”

“yes, I know. But the law is law right? We must follow what is right and under the law, as one of those who shall bring balance to the world.”

“yes, I get it. I will donate my blood. I just hope this wont turn into a bloodbath.”

“it wont, if you just not make a scene, or anyone wont make a scene.”

“i hope your right about this.”

“even I don’t believe in the system josh, but our compliance is sometimes needed as citizens of this country. The law that you supported is now an international law where countries must comply.”

“yes, yes. I know. Hahh.. I will give it a shot later then. Just where will I donate blood then?”

“i have a friend at the blood bank in manila, just donate some there.”

“but its now almost noon--”

“bushra will be there shortly.”

“will there also be afternoon flights from tanghub to manila?”

“there will be. If not, then just fly there on your own. You got a license right?”

“yes, but it will expire this year.”

“since every soul warrior has a license which normally last for 5 years, yours however is a little bit special.”

“yes, I know. They made it special, so that I can at least donate blood. Hahh..”

“its alright josh, I know how you feel. Just go with it.”

“yes, I will.” josh said before he cuts the line. “hahh..”

after that call, josh also called the other girls to know what he will do that day, and later told bushra when she got back to the house, All before he went out and flew towards manila.

“can I see dr laroy?” josh

Josh was now at the red cross main HQ after he ate at mcdonalds. Josh was wearing shades and a cap that time.

“ok, can I have a name please.” said girl at the reception

“please don’t shout after you will hear my name.” josh

“sure.”

“its josh mavric.” josh said as he unveils himself to the girl for a bit

With his identity unveiled, the girl could only inhale big amounts of air before exhailing it, before she goes towards the doctor in charge. Though this also got josh worried for a bit, after a few minutes, the doctor came.

“come here sir.” the doctor said as she pulls josh towards the VIP room

“whoa, where are you taking me?” josh said as he is being dragged

“to the VIP room, just shut up and come.”

After a few seconds, they were now inside the VIP room.

“uhh.. are you dr. Laroy?” josh

“yes, dr hillary laroy.” hillary said as she reached out her hand for a hand shake

“josh mavric.” josh said as he unveils himself and shook her hand

“i know. You have gotten really quite famous over the years.” hillary said as she readies the materials for the blood donation

“yes, I see. Its a bit of a pain though, being famous.” josh said as he was offered a seat on the bed

“you don’t enjoy your fame? Even though your the first soul warrior and superhero? Thats weird.” hillary

“yup, I don’t. it just draws too much attention and I just want a quiet life.” josh

“but you cant, can you. You also said before, that since deaths soul is within you, you cant ignore your responsibility to restore balance to the world.” hillary

“yes, something like that. Though there hasnt been any opportunity--”

“no opportunity?! I beg to differ! Wars in the middle east, diseases in africa, climate change and so on!”

“thats what I mean, its just too much for just me to handle. Which is why I made the choice of informing the world on how to make a soul warrior.” josh

“which would you prefer? Left or right?” hillary said as shes now done with preparations

“left please, im right handed by the way.”

“oh, alright then.” hillary said as she begins the procedure. “you can lie down while pumping blood into the blood bag.”

“oh, alright.”

“back to our topic, just why would you make more chaos in this already chaotic world?” hillary said as she got a seat

“well, to achieve balance and tranquility, chaos must come first. Just like how the universe was created.”

"Huh? What is that suppose to mean?"

"Meaning that only after chaos can peace be truly found. Take our history for example, we always have a history of wars over land and something else, it is after that chaos would peace be truly found."

"Meaning humans have a nature of war, is that it?"

"Yes."

"Your not quite a hero as i think you are." She said being disappointed

"Well, im not like any hero in the comic book anyways. So you cant expect me to just sugar my words and feign ignorance."

"But--"

"Ignorance is bliss dr hillary, as curiousity kills the cat."

The doctor was quiet after that, thinking deeply

"Anyways, are you friends with trina?" Josh

"O-oh, yes. We go way back since med school. I still remember that shes always the one who likes to go first during training."

"Now shes the one managing a small hospital of her own."

"Wow! Just how did she do it?"

"I made the hospital just for her."

"I see. Your quite the husband arent you?" Hillary said as she approaches josh

"Whoa! Trina is my wife now! If she finds out about this--"

"Alright, alright. Maybe i got a bit jealous of her, since my husband isnt that supportive at all."

"Well, everybody has their own thoughts on some things, we cant always change what they truly believe, but we can always choose to do what must be done and what is right." Josh said wigh a smile

"Ah, yes. I can now see why trina has high respect for you."

"Why you say that?"

"Because trina and i met about 6 years ago at our reunion for our batch. Shes always talking about you, aside from the fact that we always pester her with our questions. She always say that there are things in this world one is left to not be known, or else something will befall upon those who bear such knowledge."

"Yes, i was the one who taught her that."

"And because of that, shes changed somehow. Like her aura is that of a wise sage than a doctor."

"Haha. I trained her after all, in the ways of the soul warrior."

"But because of the chaos that you have made, everyone can be a soul warrior with the right money."

"I also did tell that because of circumstances, im chosen to say everything i need to say."

"What circumstances?"

"The illuminati."

"Haha! The illuminati is a hoax, just a rumor made josh."

"But they are true,and they live right at the shadows of our systems, watching and sometimes controlling."

"Like i said, there is no--"

"Ignorance is truly bliss. Anyways, there are always things you ought to not know, because of both belief and ignorance."

"Yes, yes. You can say all you want, but doesnt change the fact that the illuminati is a made up story. Please relax now as i will get the hose from your arm." Hillary said as she gets the hose for the blood donation

"All done?" Josh said after she puts some cotton over the hole in the skin.

"Yes, all done. Better just rest for now, so that--"

"No worries, after some rest and a bit of water, my blood levels will be back to normal."

"Well, you do have regeneration ability with you right? Its in your data."

"Yes, i just hope my blood doesnt get to the wrong hands."

"Why?"

"You will see after a couple of days, after my data is read by the wrong people."

Skeptical, hillary just kept what she likes to say to herself, before she got out to tend to other patients outside. After a few seconds, josh was able to walk straight and got out of the place before anyone could ever notice.

"Its here! Thank god!" Jack

They were now at the meeting room in a research facility at the US, after some time of waiting for the results of the analysis of josh blood.

"Yes, its been a long journey towards this day." William

"So, what are the findings of josh blood dr jazz?" Jack said to the doctor

"All i can say is that its just ordinary blood, its still red in color, but the genetic code is maybe slightly rearranged from the normal." Jazz said looking over papers

"Ordinary blood you say? Whats so ordinary about the dna being slightly rearranged?" Carter

"Well, its just slightly rearranged from a normal soul warriors dna." Jazz

"Can you duplicate josh dna sequence to ours?" Ella

"What?!" Jazz

"She said, can you replicate his genetic sequence to our dna?" Lily

"Well, i would need to do CRISPR on some viruses--" jazz said holding on to his papers

"Can you replicate his genetic sequence to our dna?" Lily and ella said

"Uhh.. probably, i will try." Jazz

"That was a question answerable by yes or no. So can you--" julian

"Enough. He said he will try, which means that he can." Jack said with a smile

"Y-yes, i probably can." Jazz said gulping

"When will clinical trials start?" Robert

"Clinical? We should start with human trials! Its human blood we are talking about!" Carter

"But under the new law for--" robert

"New law? We are the illuminati! Who cares about the law! We have the power--" carter

"Shut up carter! Even if we are the illuminati, we should proceed with this carefully." Jack

"Hes right. One wrong move and the world will be at our throats." Ella

"Hahh.. fine! When will clinical trials be?" Carter said being frustrated

"I dont know--" jazz

"What?!" All of them said

"B-but i can assume the research for this would take about 50 years or so." Jazz

"Hahh.." all 6 of them were rubbing their temples

"If we threaten you, would you hurry the process up?" Carter said as he lit fire on his hand which startled jazz

"Stop it carter, you know that that wont help us." Lily

"Only money can." Jack said as they all smiled and carter puts out the fire

"How much exactly would you guys need in order to achieve faster results?" Jack

"How much of what?" Jazz

"How much funding would you need to achieve faster results?" William

"Uhmm.. maybe about a billion dollars?" Jazz said with a forced smile

"Consider it done. You will have that billion dollars by the end of this week. If the money isnt enough, then just tell us." Jack said with an intimidating look

"Y-yes mr jack sir, we will surely achieve the results you will need." Jazz said being afraid

"I hope your research facility is up to the task, or else.." jack said as they all did an intimidating look

"Y-y-y-yes sir!" Jazz said as he wet himself

"Gosh dr jazz, you should get it together. Your the head of this facility right?" Ella

"Y-yes maam." Jazz

"So act like one. We are just your clients, there is nothing to be afraid of." Ella

But what jazz is thinking is: "how can i ever say that they are the biggest clients any company will ever have", but just couldnt say it.

"Anyways, please present yourself better next time." Lily

"This meeting is over." Jack said before they all stood

"You can expect that funding by the end of this week, remember that." Julian said before they exit the room

"Gosh, what should i do? Call the government about this? But maybe not, since this is a government facility." Jazz said as he thinks of options

As jazz thinks of options, all he could think about was inform josh mavric himself, when he also doesnt know who to trust and if his phone is being tapped or not. With josh blood on his hands, all he could ever do was just do as he is told. After that, the company got to work on copying josh genetic code and putting it on chimps and mice. As a result, the chimps brain couldnt take all of the new changes in their system causing a mutation to occur, causing immediate death.

"What is this?! This isnt the results that we need!" Jack said throwing the papers that he read

He alone had gone to the company since everyone else was very busy, after a month of experimentations.

"But i already told you before that this would normally require years of research!" Jazz

"You said that this would all be done in just a month!" Jack

"I didnt say anything of the sort, i didnt even say anything about a deadline." Jazz

"Then who did.. it doesnt matter. It says here that you were able to replicate his dna up to a 93% right?" Jack said as he picks up the papers again

"Yes, but we need more time to make it up to a hundred percent." Jazz

"No need, 93% is enough. We will. We will now approve of human trials by next week." Jack

"What?! But sir, if you inject this into a normal person, that person will die!" Jazz

"So what? Sacrifice is needed for progress right? So get working." Jack

"No, i wont go working for you anymore. The project is cancelled as of today." Jazz said with determination

"What did you say?!" Jack

"You said that i should behave like the boss here right? So i say i will decline your project and tell the world of what we were working here." Jazz

"So you dont care what will happen to you right?" Jack said as he lit fire on his hand

"Y-yes." Jazz said gulping

Jack then threatens jazz even more by burning his clothes

"Ahh!! Alright! I will do it!" Jazz said before the fire was put out

"Good. Human trials start next week, dont forget it. Also, what happened here stays here, got it?" Jack said as he exits the room

jazz could literally feel the burn in his skin, as he could only cry from everything that has happened, all before he goes back to work. Then after a week went by, the illuminati top leaders gathers again for the experiment at a different secret place. As the illuminati were all but intensely staring at the patients on how they will do, and not minding what happened to jazz, the experiment then starts with the first 100 patients.

"Let the experiment begin." Jazz said as the scientists on the other side of the monitor room all fully know what will happen to them if they disobey

With the experiment starting, the 50 patients who are already activated received the virus, making them the carriers which will edit their dna similar to josh and still receiving hypnotism. While the other 50 patients will receive josh blood while being activated. With that, they all struggled as their body struggles to accept josh blood into their system, while their brains are preventing further commands to accelerate their own brain capacity.

"Whats with the hold up?" Jack

"Sir, i think its a bio feedback from their body and brains, rejecting josh blood into their system." Jazz said with dead eyes

"Give them more." Jack

"Apply about 50%?" Jazz

"Push it to 90." Jack

"Increase to 90%" jazz said in the comms

"But sir! That will just--" said one of the scientists

"Do you want to die?" Jazz

With that thought, the scientists and the people working on the other side of the monitor room had no other choice but to carry out orders, even if it might kill the patients.

"They have already signed the contract right?" Ella

"Yes maam." Jazz

"Good. As we dont want to repeat another american incident, we must find a way to make more of people like josh mavric." Jack

"For the future and for achieving balance of mankind through our hands alone." The illuminati said and agreed

As jazz dont care anymore, since hes just concentrating on not being punished, he kept himself from commenting and just stared and surveyed the conditions of the patients as they all struggled even more at 90%. But after a few minutes, all patients suddenly had their eyes glowed as their body still struggles to cope with the new changes. And after a few seconds, before the illuminati could even say anything, the other scientists and workers on the other side slowly faints one by one and had their eyes glow.

"Wh-whats happening?!" Ella said to jazz

"That, i dont know. Probably an overload." Jazz said on his seat

"Do something about it!" Carter

"I cant, the operation cant be stopped on its own now that its in this stage." Jazz said before the possessed workers on the other side banged on the window

"I cant do this anymore!" Ella said as she reaches for the door

"There is literally no escape from us." Jazz said in a voice of a thousand voices, speaking to the illuminati

As ella saw the scene, she quickly reached the doorknob only to be prevented by her fellow comrades which were all now being possessed by some kind of entity, all before she herself becomes possessed as well. with that, they all walk out of the building while possessing others within the building, and finally got out to the streets of new york to possess more people. They even flew towards other nations to possess more people than they could ever possess.

"We bring you live updates from new york, where a lot of people have been somewhat possessed! Here is olivia pole live on the scene."

"Ted, please hear me out. i quit being a reporter! There is literally a zombie horde right behind us right now! If you dont want to get possessed, run!" Olivia said on camera before they ran for their lives

"Uhh.. didnt expect that at all. In any case, what we call as the possession is now happening slowly all over the world! Please take shelter in any way you can to avoid being possessed by them!" The anchor said before the broadcast was turned off

"In more international news, military people all around the world are putting up a fight against the possessed. Live from washington, where president rick dazzle is also taken to his bunker, we have willie banks."

"This is willie banks reporting live from the white house, where the president is now taken to the bunker in the emergence of an unprecidented situation. Wait, the president is making an announcement before being taken."

"This is the president of the united states, rick dazzle, calling to all the US people to take shelter in this situation. Dont ever let the possessed get you! And im calling out for josh mavric, please help us out! This is your job right?!" Rick said before the broadcast got offline

"That was odd, we have no signal for our US correspondents. Please stay tuned for any live updates--wait, we have live update from other countries! We bring you live updates from one of them."

"This is a live video from the top of a 50 story building in paris where there is totally a person flying! It seems that this person has glowing eyes. It looks like shes dropping some kind of energy ball.." but when the energy ball hit the ground, all communications were cut from that area

"What in the world is really happening?! Wait, there is a live update at the pentagon, through their satellites we have confirmed of an attack of nuclear proportions?! And around the world?! People, i advice you now to stay with your loved ones in this crisis--"

At that time, josh and the girls were watching the news, where their concentration broke when sheryl dropped her mug and broke it.

"And what did i tell you girls? They just couldnt resist." Josh

All of them were now present at their home at tanghub, where josh and the family had together time, where his parents and jade also happened to visit. They were all now at the living room watching TV, where the children were all in their rooms doing some stuff and homework.

“whats really happening?” jade

“i believe its due to my blood.” josh

“your blood? But how?” trina

“yeah? How josh?” sheryl said as they all listen

“i don’t really know. From the looks of it, it looks like the possession, is a form of the soul power going berserk.” josh

“but how could being berserk create something of that magnitude? I mean, nuclear?” eliza

“that is actually the power of chemical reaction at its most powerful.” josh

“what?! I can do that too?” james

“well, in theory, yes. But there will be a feedback on your brain causing you to shut down for a couple of days.” josh

“josh, can you by any chance uninstall this power?” james

“you wanted to help, and thats what your heros soul is really capable of.” josh said with a gesture

“anyways, what do we do with the current situation now?” jade

“jade is right, with the situation as it is now, it will be hours before the whole world will be possessed.” sara

*ring* josh phone rang

“hello josh, this is the general cesar speaking to you. In fact, the whole world really needs your help right now.” cesar

“and why should I help you guys? When I have already warned what they might do.”

“who do you mean?”

“i blame the illuminati for this.”

“what?! what are you--”

“its already too late for secrets general, we already know about the illuminati.”

“hahh.. fine. Yes, our intelligence says that they were gathering in new york, but we didn’t think--”

“you guys didn’t think that they would do something like the american incident right?”

“yes. Whats more, our intelligence also says that they have your blood.”

“i probably would have guessed.”

“what is really with you josh? Are you still even human?”

“i have already told you about my story right? On how I acquired these powers. Besides, under normal circumstances, my blood is like other soul warriors blood.”

“but why?--”

“most probably that they figured out my genetic dna and did something very unthinkable in there.”

“probably. In any case, can you help us josh?”

“you know, I did warn you guys of their ignorance--”

“yes, yes. We know, and the whole world knows.”

“well then, here is my proposal, if only the world leaders are listening.”

“what is it? We will do anything in our power. You want money?--”

“what I want is the release of information to the world, both on how activation is achieved, about operation eagle eye, and all about the illuminati.”

“on behalf of all the leaders in the world, yes, I accept that deal.”

“and I will also probably want money.”

“how much do you want?”

“as much as you can give, since we are running short also on money right now.”

“i see. I will discuss this with all the world leaders after you deal with the possessed.”

“alright then, I will try.”

“will try? You must succeed at all costs josh! This isnt just politics and business now, this is the extinction of the human race as an intellectual being!”

“when I said I will try, I will try. This is also what happens when you let some organization like that in power.”

“yes, yes. I know. So please go and do it? My job is also at stake here.”

“hahh.. why is it at stake?”

“because I decided for them when--”

“its a world crisis right? You need to make the hard decisions when its in a crisis so that the people you are in charged with will be safe and will survive.”

“yes, yes. Our forces even keeps on shooting them but they all wont go down! Like they don’t care what becomes of the body.”

“why not just nuke them?”
”we did try! We nuked one place in iran, where that thing was floating, and it only severed its legs. It didn’t do anything with the possessed still floating on air!”

“you guys nuked iran..” josh said as he face palms

“what do you expect? They are nuking every country they come across only not to retaliate?”

“i expected much, but I didn’t think you would also use nukes.”

“well, whats done is done. Can you do this josh?”

“i will try, for the sake of the future and for my kids.”

“i forgot that you are also a father. May god bless you and come back.”

“yeah, will need that.” josh said before they cut the line. “guys, we need to go.”

“go where? And whats the news josh?” sheryl

“we need to go to other places in the world and put out the possessed.” josh
”so, what will we do?” bushra

“since the possessed cant be killed by normal means we must seal them.” josh

“kill? Cant they be saved son?” james

“once they go berserk dad, there is no other way of stopping it other than to seal the source.” josh said before facing the others. “but this time, I would need all of you.”

“what? All of us?” lucy

“yes, all of us. As a family, and for the future of our family.” josh

“why not if we just let them be? They all deserve such for their ignorance.” jade

“yes, I know. But many innocent lives are also under attack by this threat, not only our futures, so we need to put an end to this once and for all.” josh

“im with you josh.” bushra

“im always with you josh.” sara

“well, we do need the money, so im in.” sheryl
”of course, I will help you josh whenever I can.” eliza

“im in, I cant let those possessed ruin our childs future.” lucy

“im in too, we cant just let those things loose.” trina

“what about us son, what can we do?” eva

“well, you have the power of telekenisis, and dad has chemical reaction. So both of you are already a team of your own.” josh

“thats right, though you also said we cant use our full power right?” james

“yes, since your powers are only there as self protection. Anyways I can always deactivate your limiters if I want to.” josh

“so you were the key all along?” james

“well, we didn’t have quite the need for our powers until now, so its only fair.” eva

“if you say it like that, then ok.” james

“and what do I do ya?” jade

“you stay here, guard the children. Thats an important job that you can do for us.” josh

“eh? I also want to fight.” jade said being pouting

“in this time of crisis, its only you that I can count on in these matters jade. Besides, your powers are powerful enough to protect the children and you from any harm.” josh

“thats right jade, we can only count on you for this.” trina said as the girls agree

“oh, alright then.” jade

“daddy, mommy, where are you going?” the children said as they appear from the stairs

“we are just going for a walk by ourselves children.” lucy said as the girls stood and walked towards the children

“dont worry, your aunt jade will be here for all of you.” trina

“promise to come back ok?” the children said

“yes, we promise to come back.” sheryl

“the children is now in your hands jade.” eliza said as josh now stood up

“dad, will you come back too?” the children said

“yes, I will. I promise.” josh said as he walks towards the children after they hug their mommies

“alright then son, lets go.” james

“so, where to son?” eva

“first off, to manila.” josh

With that, they then fly off to manila where a possessed just arrived when they have arrived. As james have no flight powers, he was being carried by josh at his shoulder.

“careful guys, I don’t know how the possessed with possess you, but we have to act fast.” josh

“yes josh, got it.” james said as everyone else agrees

“better put your shields on girls, this could get bumpy.” eliza said before the girls agree and put on their shields

“there it is.” josh said as he spots the possessed just flying

There at the top of a tall building, they all landed and began their attack on the possessed. They used all their powers so that the possessed would be eliminated without a trace.

“we used up all our powers just to defeat at least one of them? Just how many are there?” sheryl said as they were panting

“dont just give up guys, there are still a lot of them out there!” eliza

But when they just vanguished one of the possessed, many others suddenly appeared out of nowhere and very many in total.

“just when we defeated at least one of them.” james said as his stomach grumbles

“i guess we are out of energy now dear.” eva

“leave everything else now to us.” the girls said as they stand in front of them

“yes, leave it all to us.” josh said as he stands at the center

At that moment, maybe about a million of the possessed came up flying in the sky, which just teleported from their point of origin. And by then, a media helicopter was able to capture everything at a distance.

“josh, just how can we win against this many?” sheryl said as they are now sweating

“dont just lose hope guys, im sure we can find a way.” josh

But just when they all had hope, some of the possessed suddenly just hugs each other, which confused josh and the others on what they are doing. But then they all glowed into many balls of light, maybe over a thousand of them.

"Josh mavric, son of james mavric. Join us."

"Who are you and what are you here for?!" Josh said as they all slightly covers their eyes from the brightness

"We are one, we are quantum, we are the legion."

"What are you here for?!" Eliza

"Eliza jewels, we are here to bring oneness to all humanity." The legion

"Why?!" Sheryl

"We are all enlightened by the wisdom of many people. Many people suffer cause of indifference and of belief, thus if we become one, that is no more." The legion

"Well, we beg to differ! Oneness maybe the solution to wars, but there is another!" Sara said as josh signals for them all to get ready

"And its love!" Trina said before they attacked

As they all attacked, their attack had totally no effect on the legion which has now become pure energy.

"Tch! It isnt working josh!" Lucy

"Use me partner, you will need to use us all to win this fight!" Gilgamesh said inside josh mind

"Tch! Have no other choice huh.. bring me victory over my fights! King gilgamesh! Imperial control!" Josh shouted

With imperial control, he was able to fully release all their limiters as they all attacked the legion, where james and eva also joins in the fight.

"Its all futile to resist josh mavric, join us." The legion said

"Tch! Imagination overload!" Josh said as he finally gets very serious

With imagination overload, he can access up to 70% of his brain capacity.

"We ask one more, join us or we force you!" The legion said

"Never!" They all said as they attacked

"Then so be it." The legion said before they also attacked

As the legion attacked, their powers were equal to that of josh team right now, which their attacks all cancel out each other. Josh team sending out a beam of all the elements combined versus the legion which shoots pure energy.

"Josh, this isnt working! At this rate, it will become a battle of attrition!" Sheryl

"And we dont have that much power!" Sara

"Damn it!" Josh said as they all were struggling

"Josh, you said that we should seal them!" Bushra

"I guess we have no other choice. Can you girls seal while attacking?" Josh

"No! We can only concentrate on attacking!" Eliza said as they all agree

"Then i will have to do it." Josh said as he now faces the legion. "Soul seal!"

With soul seal, josh can seal any metaphysical object or any soul from ever coming out, depending on how much power he will put into sealing.

"What are you doing? You planning to seal us up?!" The legion said as they detected fluctuations in their energy

"Isnt that obvious?!" Josh said as he also struggles to seal them

"Then we will resist!" The legion said

As the legion said that, they increased their power output to maximum, which made josh team struggle even more

"Josh, this is the best we can do!" Lucy

"Josh, your mom and i are at our limit!" James said as both he and eva is weakening

"Josh, the shields wont last! Just how much more would it take?!" Bushra

"Join us josh mavric, oneness is the only solution to everything!" The legion said

"There are always no shortcuts in life! And we can all understand each other just fine if we all talk it out!" Josh

"Talking is useless! Oneness is of course the solution!" The legion said

"Your right, talking is useless in front of you. Your all reasons! You all take the shortcut when shortcuts themselves still takes effort! There are no shortcuts in life!" Josh shouted

"There are!"

"You just reason yourselves with oneness crap, but i bet you dont have the courage to take on life!" Eliza

"Yeah, life isnt just about you or your reasons! Life is more than that!" Bushra

"Dont just give up hope guys! They are nothing but losers in life!" Sheryl

"We girls fight! But we also love each other! As we love josh! Love is the key!" Sara

"Acceptance is key to enlightenment!" Lucy

"We wont give up to a bunch of losers like you!" Trina said as the legions energy is slowly fading

"Whats happening?!" The legion said as their energy beam is weakening

"Just a little bit more!" Josh said as he got a nose bleed

"No!!" The legion said before they were all sealed away

With that, josh was able to seal the legion, where the legion now became just a bunch of crystals falling from the sky.

"Josh, thank you for being with us."

"We will never forget what you have done for us, which made us all happy."

"We will never regret ever meeting with you."

"Please take care of the rest, we all love you."

"Son, please take care of the rest, both your mom and i loves you."

"Take care josh. We will always love you son."

"And we will always be with you." The voices said together

"Ugh.. what happened?" Josh said as he woke up

As he woke up, he found himself in a private room at a hospital, where he found himself resting in a bed. After a few minutes, as he still had a bit of a headache, he was then visited by a nurse at his room. Surprised, the nurse calls for the doctors immediately to tell that josh has awokened, which the doctor came 10 minutes later. It was now morning as josh checked at the window.

"I remembered what happened to us, but what happened after we sealed the legion?" Josh said to the doctor

"All of you became unconscious right after the ball of light turned into crystals." The doctor said

"What happened to the others?" Josh

"You might not yet be in the right condition to know--"

"Just tell me already, im fine." Josh said as he still suffers from slight headaches

"Alright then. All of you were unconscious when the media found you guys at the roof of a building, but as we later found out, only 3 of you were able to regain consciousness."

"Ok, i think i got it." Josh said with mixed feelings aside from the slight headache he is having, and also with tears falling down

"I should now leave you--"

"Tell me the rest of the story." Josh said wiping his tears

"Its not for me to tell unfortunately." The doctor said as he stood up

"Then who?" Josh

"I will call on them to explain everything to you." The doctor said as he exits

After a few minutes, someone knocked on the door

*knock*

"Josh, its me, we will now come in." Eliza said as both she and sara enters the room

They were all still in their hospital clothes when they entered, which made josh think of the event.

"So its just us who remains from all that." Josh said as the girls sat on te chair

"Yes, we were able to seal the legion away without them hurting others." Sara

"So, what happened after that?" Josh

"Its going to be a long story, are you prepared?" Eliza

"Yes." Josh

"Where to start.." eliza

"Lets just start from after we have sealed the legion" sara

"Yes, that may be appropriate. According to general tuba, After we have sealed the legion, the legion turned to a thousand crystals which all fell into the street. after we defeated the legion, possessed people all around the world all started to faint, and woke up with the memory of what happened here." Eliza

"In the news, all those possessed people came to their senses right after we defeated the legion, though it wont change any of those who died during the clash of both military and the possessed. Eye witness accounts says they remember the fight as if they were with the legion, and remembers all that we have said." Sara

"About love, courage, and hope." Eliza

"I see. So what happened to mom and dad? And the others?" Josh

"They all schriveled up from loss of blood and nutrients, thats what the doctors says. Even we did as well, which is why we were given our own blood back to our system." Eliza

"In short, they all died from overuse of power." Josh

"Anyways, as you were on the verge of death, the doctors has given you some of our blood as well, since your blood was mostly bought by someone." Sara

"The illuminati. Tell me, have they now announced what really happened?" Josh

"Yes, only general cesar did, as the other world leaders played it safe and covered up the whole thing." Eliza

"What about the queen, the saudi king and the japanese emperor?" Josh

"Of course, when we told them what happened, they told the public as well." Eliza

"But they were immediately being shutted up by the US and their own government." Sara

"So the US government is shutting them up huh--" josh

"Wait until the end of the story josh, we still got more." Eliza

"Right after we passed out, the crystals were all being given to many allied countries, which the US kept most of the crystals. Thats what general cesar also told us before his plane went down." Sara

"He tried to escape the US after his announcement, only to be shot down." Eliza

"Hahh.. it really looks like i have to visit the US after this." Josh

"And thats not all josh, aliens have also came to visit us a day after the incident!" Eliza

"Just how many days was i out?" Josh

"We just woke up yesterday, and i heard from the doctor that you were out by 3 days." Eliza

"Its already 2 days since aliens came huh, i guess i literally have no other choice." Josh said as he stood up

"Whoa, are you ok now josh?! You cant quite stand right?" Sara said as both girls goes to josh as he stands

"I cant yet stand, but i have to go." Josh

"Why?" Both girls asked

"First of all, i have to make them confess everything to the public. Second, aliens have now come to earth." Josh

"We can all do that later, right now--" eliza

"There is no telling what they would do with the aliens!" Josh said before he was slapped by sara

"We were both worried about you, you know! Please think of our feelings first!" Sara said as tears flow

"Shes right you know, you dont know how much we both worry about you. After all that has happened." Eliza said holding her tears

"Sorry girls, for making you worry." Josh

"If you ever accept a job like that in the future, we will never forgive you." Sara

"Yes, i wont ever do something like that again, i promise." Josh said as he hugs both of them

"Oh, and dont worry about the kids, they are all safe with jade." Eliza

"How is jade and the kids? And where are we anyways?" Josh

"Right after the event, we were all taken to the manila hospital, while the philippine president informed jade of what happened." Sara

"Thats good. Then i will rest here for a while then, after breakfast." Josh said as he got back to bed
