The Tale of a Thousand Lies: Future Arc V1


“that really happened to me? Seriously?”

“yes. Now I have to use some of my powers to speed up your natural healing, since you were also bruised up.”

“dont know ya, maybe. I also feel a bit sick..”

“yes, since they might have injected you with some drugs along the way. Though you must rest my sister.”

“i still have my powers right?”
”yes. Since I genetically modified your DNA to have those powers, and once its activated, it cant be turned off unless the gods would take it away from you.”

“really? They do exist?”

“anyways, I want you to have this.” jason said as he handed over the scarab ring

“what is this for ya?” jackie said curiously

“this is for you. The scarab ring which will enhance your powers just like with my sword.”

“seriously? Im gonna be like you now?”

“nope. Haha. This is just to enhance your powers, though if the ring shall choose you, then the ring shall be your weapon as well.”

“alright!”

“please do note that this is also not just fun and games. And you may have to prepare yourself.”

“yes, I know. And what do you--” she said as she tried on the ring

When she tried on the ring, she was taken to a blank space where she saw a giant blue scarab in front.

“so this is what he meant by prepare yourself."

"Who are you? He who awakens me from my slumber. Name thyself"

"Its only common knowledge to name yourself before i should name myself as your the one who asked. And im a she."

"Ok. She who awakens me, i am with no name. Im merely borrowing your language in your mind."

"I am jackie wild. And im here since my brother gave you to me."

"Yes, your brother the chosen one. He is the most powerful being on the planet yet he serves mere mortals. From what i have seen in your mind, mortals have already messed with the planet as far as they could, and yet he isnt doing anything about it."

"He is.. maybe. I dont know what he got planned. Anyways, how about you? He gave you to me. So your mine now right?"

"Yes. But let me make clear, as you currently lack the body right now, i will put my test some other time, enough for you to heal."

"Ok. I can see that. But what about this test?"

"You will see later. Right now, i will help you with recovery. Lets just put your trials as you go on in life, as you shall help your brother if he so allows it."

She was then back to reality where her brother was still flying towards Home.

"How long was i sleeping? And was that a dream?" She asked

"Nope. That was what i will name, the scarab. The ring shall recognize you in time as it has now awoken from its slumber. For now, i teach you how to fly."

"Yey!"

"Just imagine your feet being swifted upwards with wind or with 2 tornados below your feet."

She then imagined it and flew right out of his hands.

"Whoa! How--"

"Turn with your feet. And try to control your emotions as you fly."

With that, she succesfully maneuvered where she can finally stand up in the air, after a few minutes of panic and practice.

"Good. Your now flying. Hold my hand so that you can maneuver better."

"Why should i?"

"Your still healing remember? Your a nurse, you should know how to take care of yourself right?"

"I know. Hahh. Fine."

"For now, we head home and you still protect mom and dad. For now at least, before they shall realize their own mistakes."

She then held his hand where they flew towards Philippines under the night sky now wondering what might happen to the world by what he just said.

"Tell me mr president, on why is the US military intervening on my operations?" Jason

They were now in the malacanang where his sister was laid down on a bed suite inside it with his parents along side her. It was early in the morning in the Philippines where they contacted the other available world leaders, specially the US.

"I have nothing to say upon--"

"Shall i then enlighten the world on your secrets then?" Jason

"What secrets?" Richard

"Hah! The nerve! You abandoned your own mission just so you could save one little girl."

"Shes my sister mr president. I hope you will mind next time what your talking about."

"True. But what about what you have claimed earlier? What proof you have that the american military was the one who--"

"3 words. Project eagle eye. And alwyas prepare for the worst right?"

"Tch. How do you know that? Thats top secret."

"The gods told me. Oh and i have already sent an email in regards to my mission details to other governments and militaries so that they may know."

"What?! When did you send it boy?"

"I asked president richard here to send it before the meeting. We all agreed as well."

"Damn you. Now they know the existence of project eagle eye. What more did you tell boy?"

"Just that. Or do you--"

"Nothing more! Gosh. I already have a headache as it is with mass media with you on it over new york."

"Please calm down guys. You need to calm down most mr president rey whip." Richard

"No need to say my full name in here president richard. If only the case was controlled peacefully."

"Nope. There were no other options. According to my prophecy, they were gonna chop her up and with the CEO drinking her blood. And that made my blood boil mr president."

"What?!" All of them said

"If you wanna ask someone, ask the scientists who were employed to him. I think her name is gracie. I heard the name amongst scientists while actually magnetically lifting the whole facility out of the water "

"Whats your real power exactly boy? Please explain it to us." Rey

"My real power is just lightning. Dont you guys know simple science? Electricity makes artificial electromagnetism. Which is why i can fly as well."

"So you have metal bones in you now?" A president asked

"Nope. Think of gravity as ladders with holes, but only at a quantum level. You may also think of electromagnetism as hooks as well. With just enough energy, you can latch yourself to gravity so that you could fly."

"Enough of this! We need answers now president rey. What is project eagle eye?" A president said with a doubtful look. "And thank you for the explanation boy."

"Oh. And who will ever watch over to control the situation huh? Who will calm jason down when he goes berserk?" Rey said avoiding the question

"Dont worry about me president rey. I have my own family with me, and only they can calm me down, not someone inexistent around me."

"Yes. All this wouldnt have happened if you didnt research upon forces you dont understand!" Richard

"Shut up! Its our militarys policy to be ready for anything! Just like how aliens are now upon us!" Rey

"Hahh.. your still worried about that? We have already made peace wi--" a president said

"And they have powers that we dont! That counts as a threat! Even he is a threat to the US." Rey said pointing at jason

"Just how am i a threat? If i were, i would have already ruled the planet right now, i wouldnt do that."

"Why not? With your powers, you could at any time just asking." A government staff said

"Where would the fun be if i just stay on top of everything? Anyways. I was briefed that chopper came and a seal team kidnapped my sister at night. Theres no other explanation how that was possible. Right president richard?"

"Yes. There were military trained soldiers and some regular guards in the vicinity where they guarded the wild family. His sister was also gone by the time a fire fight was over and they heard helicopter sounds on top of the house."

"Can you tell us also why your sister was targetted? If possible." A president said

"Cause i activated her powers by sending a signal towards her brain, so that they could protect themselves from any harm, now and in the future." Jason said with a serious look

"Nothing is happening now, maybe your just imagining it." A president said

"Nope. One has already been made, the one who can control pollution that i have fought off here in manila."

With that, they had no other comments for a few seconds.

"And he was made with drugs. Though you guys activated my powers, i cant say that you can just activate others successfully like i did."

"How about these gods just block us from activating these powers?" A president said

"Nope. Thats not how it works. We as a sentient being are free to decide what we should do with our lives, though doesnt mean all is permitted."

"So to get to our final evolution, we need their approval? What crap is that?" Rey said with a smirk

"Yes. Though doesnt also mean that we all can activate our powers just like that. Like i said, it needs their approval. So to maintain balance, they sent me."

"They sent you. A filipino of all people." Rey said with a laugh followed by some other people

"Whatever. Just hand me jobs and i will do it if i want to."

"What if we want you to clean the environment and fix the ozone layer? Thats something--" rey said

"Nope. Even simple science can say that i cant fix it with my powers. And note that when my sister fully activates her powers, she can hear the screams of nature herself. So it would be wise for all of you to start cleaning yourselves."

"Meaning you guys cant do anything with it yet the pollution guy was killed off?" Rey said

"What do you expect us yo do when our country was in danger, just sit by? He was being used by drug lords that time. We had no other choice."

"Haha! Thats funny considering you claim to be the savior--" rey

"Im not. The prophecy that i have seen have not yet been fulfilled, as this prophecy of mine concerns every creature in the universe."

"Can you at least tell us jason what it is? Please?" Richard pleaded

"If its you asking, its alright. The future is not clear yet but there will be unfathomable agony upon all creatures of this universe."

"Can you at least hint us with that unclear image?" A president said

"Nope. The only one that i can say is that a power shall rise from its mortal shell in the near future where it shall wreak havoc upon the world."

"Is that all you have to say? A power shall rise from its kortal shell. Isnt that you? Of course its you." Rey said

"Whatever. You may think of it in any way you like. I have already foretold the prophecy. For any jobs for me, just say it and i might do it. Pass it through the Philippine military so that they shall contact me." Jason said before he turned to the exit

"Wait! Were not done here!!" Rey

"No. We are. If you will excuse me, i gotta go on my next vacation so that i can also train my sister. Oh and please note that the black market is now selling the information to turn people into another me." He said before he closed the door behind him

There at the comms room, there was now chaos as jason had now gone to join his family watch over jackies recovery.
