 Chapter 1: Supernaturals

    Chapter 1: Supernaturals


    "Presenting the viin of this story is me! Essence, your one and only true viin with a taste of


    revenge.........." Smiles in a funny way.


    In a white room filled with balls and a single chair, there is a young ck tall Nigeria man with a very


    strong Ijebu ent wearing a jumpsuit is sitted on the chair, scratching his left hand and he suddenly


    faces the front of the room.


    "I know you people are probably wondering what''s going on but don''t worry......." Essence stands up


    from the chair and smiles.


    "Wee to a world filled with Humans and Supernaturals, who are the Supernaturals?" Licks his lips


    with his tongue andughs manically.


    "Supernaturals are a group of people gifted with extra ordinary powers, I''m also a Supernatural."


    Laughs.


    "It''s fun, some get useless powers, some get meh powers and some get extraordinary powers!"


    Essence waves his hands around and goes to sit on his chair.


    "I hope y''all are still with me, I got mine by mistake but I''m not the focus of this story. Our focus are on


    four miserable souls, I hope you''re ready to feel grateful for once in your life". Essence snaps his


    fingers and the whole room shes out.


    In Lagos surulere street, a young ck skinned short man with a very low hair rushes out of a building


    and sits down on a chair outside. He folds his hands and breathes out heavily, a young ck man


    "Gboyega you''re needed right now! The boss wants to see you." The man says harshly, Gboyega nods


    to the positive and the man walks away, he picks up his phone and checks his messages. Gboyega


    hand starts heating up and the phone melts.


    In Akure, Ngozi a young ck skinned talldy with a all back hair wearing a nurse uniform arrives


    home after a very tiring night shift at the hospital, she lives in a three bedroom apartment. Ngozi rushes


    to her room and quicklyys on the bed, a sign of relief is shown on her face and she smiles a little bit.


    Her phone starts vibrating, she brings it out of her bag and picks the call. She talks in a very tiring


    manner.


    "Hey Ada, hope everything is fine? I just got back home". Ngozi says and sighs.


    "I was just wondering if you would like to go for this party a friend of mine organized by tomorrow." The


    caller talks back with a feminine voice, Ngozi puts the phone on mute and sighs heavily, she cuts the


    call and closes her eye. In Ngozi perspective, she felt that she doesn''t need anyone and all she needs


    is to be alone and take care of herself, Ngozi receives a message and as she checks it she suddenly


    screams.


    "No way!" She opens her mouth wide.


    In Ekiti, Ayo a young ck skinned manys on the ground in the street, something very strange about


    Ayo is that he wasn''t like other Supernaturals. The left side of his body was filled with robotic parts


    ck and white metaltched with freely moving connecting rods lifted his clunky left leg and t feet


    with protruding beams running up to his shiny hip. His exoskeleton sat within and partially behind a


    bulging torso, home to several twisted tubes and bolts, moving in and out with each movement he


    made, especially when his arms whirred up to tap the overhanging pipes on the ceiling of the corridor


    he passed. Behind his elbow along the upper rear of his arms were ck boxes, neatly arranged with


    sps surrounding them all. Ayo left eye suddenly shows a blue coloured holographic message, Ayo


    reads it and grunts.


    "Impossible." He says slowly, stands up and grunts in pain.


    In Lagos, Richard is in a big rectangr bedroom wakes up from his bed with two women sleeping


    beside him, Richard face looks pale and he rolls to the ground. Richard body suddenly vanishes from


    the bedroom and he finds himself in a white bathroom, he picks up a cigarette pack that''s on the sink


    and lights it up, Richard picks up his phone and checks his messages. He drops the cigarette on the


    ground and rushes out of the bathroom.


    That evening. In Abuja, in a huge ck and brown mansion four different cars park in front, Gboyega


    awkwardly stare at each other.


    "It''s great to see all of you again!" Richard shouts really loud cause of the distance they all maintained


    from each other, Ayo sighs and walks into the house, Gboyega does the same. Richard and Ngozi


    stare at each other, his heart was beating really fast and that''s because Richard loved Ngozi they dated


    in the past but both decided to move on since it wasn''t going anywhere, Richard still thinks about Ngozi


    and even though he tries to forget about her by sleeping with different women he can''t while Ngozi has


    so many other personal issues to deal with she simply doesn''t think she deserves him. Ngozi breaks


    the silence


    "It''s nice to see you again." Ngozi breaks the silence, Richard lights up a cigarette and pretends to not


    care.


    "Whatever."He says and walks toward the house.


    The four move to a veryrge living room filled with extinct animals like The dinosaurs species, Dodo, a


    sabertooth tiger and others. They all sit down on the chairs while Ayo remains standing and moving


    around the living room.


    "Where is he?" Ayo says angrily.


    "Calm down, the man is already old. I can''t believe Chong is dead." Gboyega says quietly, they all


    remain silent and Richard''s stop smoking, the group lived with Chong in the house. A sense of guilt hits


    all of them cause they didn''t really care for him while he was alive.


    A old ck man wearing a ck suit called Papaes out of the shadow, the group all move closer


    to him. Papa smiles and sits down on a chair beside him.


    "It''s good to see all of you again, you''ve all grown." Papa says and folds his arms, Richard moves


    closer to Papa and whispers to his ear.


    "Trust me when I say I''m still pretty messed up." Richard say and winks with his right eye, Papa shakes


    his head disappointed but happy to see the people he took care of.


    "What killed him?" Ngozi says softly, Papa stammers at first but finds the courage to respond.


    "He had a headache and before I knew it the sickness got worst, I did my best to help him..........." Papa


    breaks down and tears quickly roll down from his eyes, Papa and Chong had a very tight rtionship


    when the others left to figure out more about themselves Chong decided to stay and take care of Papa,


    Ayo quickly runs andforts Papa, Papa stands up and faces them.


    "You people need to get some rest, you''ll need it cause we''re going to the mortuary tomorrow." Papa


    says swiftly and walks out of the living room.


    A hourter, Ngozi settles in her room she brings out a red crested amulet from her pocket. The amulet


    is a old ancient artifact that has been passed on to differentdies, Ngozi grandmother passed it to her


    before she died, the amulet contains different powers but Ngozi sees no purpose to it and rather uses


    only one power from it which is to create her own imaginary friend. A ck German Shepard dog


    suddenly appears beside her and a talking white gori suddenly appears behind her, Ngozi smiles and


    turns around she hugs the gori and speaks to it.


    "Today has been a horrible day for me Huffcupp." She says happy, the gori sits on the ground and


    responds in a British ent.


    "Apart from Chong death, is it because of Richard?" Ngozi moves back a bit.


    "I don''t care about Richard, it''s a old me." Her voice shakens a bit, Huffcupp punches her hand,

    Ngozi pets her dog and hits Huffcupp back.


    "You ready to y monopoly?" She says softly,Huffcupp nods to the positive.


    Ayo settles in his room, he stares at his robot hand so much that he wasn''t aware that Papa has


    entered his room. Papa taps him and sits down on Ayo''s chair, Papa speaks.


    "Are you fine Ayo?" Papa asked, he was concerned Ayo was in a very different mood of brooding, Ayo


    chuckles.


    "Will you stop pretending like I don''t send you a text every week." Ayo says whileughing, Papa


    smiles and hugs him. Ayo was always the closest with Papa, he was the first that got into Papa''s house


    and while the others agreed to leave Ayo didn''t really want to but felt he had to move on, Ayo always


    said that Papa saved his life and he owes alot to him.


    "Your decision to stop using your robotic powers Ayo............" Ayo quickly interrupts Papa.


    "I know you want to know why but it''s my decision not to use it and I really want to tell you the


    reason...." Ayo sighs heavily. "But I don''t think I can." Papa pat''s his shoulder and looks into his eyes.


    "You''ll be fine boy." Papa assures Ayo.


    Gboyega sets up his room andys on his bed, Gboyega sighs in relief he always foundfort in this


    room. He stands up from the bed, checks his box and picks up a portrait from his bag, the portrait is of


    a young ckdy smiling, Gboyega ces the portrait on the bed beside him andy down, his hand


    starts heating up again and he quickly picks up the portrait again, he talks to himself. "I''ll always miss


    you Gbemi."


    Richard is asleep with different women on the bed and bottles of wine on the floor. Richard checks his


    phone and sees alert of different amount of money entering his ount, he makes a phone call and


    speaks with a woman. "Thanks."


    The next morning, the whole group gather in the living room waiting for Papa, Papa joins them and


    speaks.


    "We need to move now! Chong has a friend that will be waiting for us by now." Papa says sharply,


    Richard brings out a cigarette but Papa quickly takes it out of his mouth.


    "They will be no smoking today Richard."Papa scolds Richard he was in a hurry, Ngozi starts getting


    suspicious.


    The whole house suddenly starts shaking, Gboyega hand starts heating up.


    "Everyone get behind me." Gboyega says and a huge mees out of his hand,Papa starts moving


    back, Ngozi moves closer to him.


    "Papa what''s going on?" Ngozi says bold enough to question Papa''s movement, Ayo gets annoyed by


    her question and pushes her aside.


    "Just leave him alone." Ayo says angrily, arge red coloured portal suddenly opens in front of the


    living room, Richard opens his mouth wide.


    "What the fuck!" Richard screams a bit, time suddenly starts moving slowly it affects the team except


    Papa, Essence appears in front of them,Papa faces Essence.


    "You!" Papa says scared, Essence smiles manically and responds.


    "Yes, me!" Essence voice echoed around the house, Papa moves back and tears fill his eyes.


    "It''s been years, why can''t you let this go?" Papa pleads, Essence appears out of nowhere and grabs


    Papa left hand.


    "You ruined my life and now that I can finally locate you I can ruin yours back." Essence says, snaps


    his fingers and disappears.


    Time starts moving normal again, Papa streches his hand towards Ayo.


    "Help me." Papa says swiftly as the portal sucks him inside. Ayo screams and cries out.

    Chapter 2: Essence


    The group stares at the portal. Gboyega panics around, Richard looks for his cigarette, Ngozi sits down


    on a chair far from the others and Ayo moves closer to the portal. Ayo turns around and faces the


    team.


    "We need to go inside the portal." Says Ayo, Gboyega moves closer to him and questions his idea.


    "No way." Gboyega said and turns around, Ayo stares at him in disgust knowing that this isn''t the same


    Gboyega he knew before they left the house.


    "We''re going in whether you like it or not." Ayo voice gets higher and he folds his hands. Richard


    moves between them and chuckles.


    " Why are we wasting precious time?" Richard says and jumps into the portal, Ngozi quickly jumps off


    from the chair and move to the others.


    "Well we can''t just let him die." Ngozi says and jumps into the portal while Ayo grabs Gboyega left hand


    and drags him, Gboyega knowing he has no other choice sighs and follows.


    Richard wakes up and finds himself outside, the whole ce is filled with waters. Richard wanders


    around for a little bit and can''t find a way out, he doesn''t really care about his present situation and is


    more bothered about his cigarette he serches the clothes on his body but can''t find it.


    "Shit!" Richard cries out, he then sits on the watery floor, squeezes his eyes and tries to teleport out of


    the ce but his powers aren''t working. Suddenly Ayo, Ngozi and Gboyega appear beside him,


    Richard stands up and hugs Ayo out of excitement, Ayo pushes him. Gboyega looks around.


    "Where are we? Ayo can''t you use your robotic powers and scan this ce?" Gboyega asked, Ayo


    faces his head down.


    "I don''t use my powers anymore." Ayo''s voice shakens, Ngozi moves closer to him.


    "You won''t or you can''t?" She stares at Ayo very deeply.


    "Hello!" The team suddenly hear a disoriented voice of Essence and all start looking around out of fear


    Ngozi summons Huffcupp. Richard sighs, he has always hated Huffcupp they never got along and


    Huffcupp feels Richard is trying to hurt Ngozi.


    "Not the white gori again." The whole ground start shaking and the team quickly gather around


    Huffcupp.


    "We''ll need him." Says Gboyega.


    Essence appears in front of them smiling manically, Richard pushes Ayo to talk for them. Ayo moves


    closer to Essence and starts questioning him.


    "Who are you?" Ayo asked, he''s robot eye starts blinking to fast, Essence notices the group are scared


    of him and startsughing manically again.


    "Call me Essence you bunch of losers." Said Essence.


    "That''s a very shitty name, you expect us to take you serious with that name." Richardughs out loud,


    Huffcupp ps him at the back of his head and Richard immediately keeps quiet. Gboyega who has a


    very short temper moves forward to Essence.


    "We arepletely wasting time here, Where is Papa Essence?" Gboyega shouted, Essence jumps


    around and replies.


    " He is probably somewhere suffering right now." Essence gently tells them, Gboyega''s hand start


    heating up and fireballs start sparking out his hands.


    "Don''t let me hurt you." Gboyega said already losing his temper.


    " Let the fun begin." Essence snaps his fingers.


    Gboyega suddenly finds himself on the roadside with people running away from a very drastic


    explosion. Gboyega starts shivering knowing this particr ce he couldn''t feel his powers anymore.


    "What I''m I doing here? Someone get me out of here!" Gboyega cries out, this particr ce holds a


    strong and painful memory in him, Gboyega starts hearing Essence voice but can''t find him.


    Gboyega and everyone in the environment suddenly stop moving, Essence appears and starts talking.


    "Readers! Meet Gboyega, a young Supernatural who can control fire and had no absolute control over


    it in the past. It ruined his life and he was treated like a total outcast but why do I have to continue to


    spoil this things for you, I''m sure you''ll know more when you continue reading."


    Essence chuckles and vanishes, everyone starts moving again. Gboyega starts moving to the ce of


    the explosion, he clearly isn''t doing this by himself he tries to move back but Essence is in control of his


    body. Gboyega contiones to struggles but he gets to the scene of the explosion, he sweats heavily and


    he sees the burnt body of Gbemi.

    "Gbemi." Gboyega rolls around on the ground, his heart starts beating very fast, he screams and cries


    out for help but there was no way he was getting out of this nightmare.


    Ayo finds himself in a very tiny kitchen. Ayo has a very high IQ due to the robot parts on him, he could


    have easily scanned where he was but he chose not to, he had vowed to never use his powers again.


    "What''s going on?" Ayo quietly walks around, Ayo suddenly stops moving and Essence appears in


    front of him.


    "Readers! Meet Ayo, This dumbass got his powers by mistake, just like me. He has made alot of


    mistakes in his lifetime but I don''t need to spoil all the juicy secrets." Essence disappers and Ayo''s


    body starts moving again, Ayo stares at a tiny window and he sees himself in a full robot form without


    any human part. Ayo quickly shifts back and looks around so he could possibly escape, he has felt like


    a monster for a very long time and tries to ept his humanity in so many possible ways but has failed


    countless times.


    "That isn''t who I am." Ayo talks confidently, the robotic figurees out of the mirror. Ayo starts to


    stammer a and shakes.


    "It is you, it''s us Ayo." Says the robot, adyes into the kitchen with a baby. Ayo knows who this


    punches her on the guy. Ayo bends down and his robotic parts start malfunctioning, tears gushes out


    from his eyes.


    "No, no, no ,no." Say Ayo as his voice shakens, Essence appears in front of him and smiles.


    "It''s who you are, this is why you stopped using your powers Ayo. You can''t change what you already


    are." Essence says and snaps his finger.


    Richard finds himself in arge room, heys on the floor and is facing arge bed. Richard clearly


    knows where he is but how he got there he doesn''t know. Richard wanders around for a minute and


    tries to look for a way out, he immediately starts chuckling.


    "You really think this will hurt me? My mother is the Queen of illusions. I''ll just sit and wait till you get


    tired." Richard rants, time suddenly stops moving and Essence appears in front of Richard and ps


    him.


    "Dear Readers, meet Richard also a Supernatural who has ability of teleportation." Essence vanishes


    and Richard body starts moving again, a woman and man suddenly appear on the bed.


    "What the fuck?" Richard shifts back, he sees the entrance door to the room and uses all his might to


    open it but the door stays shut. The man tries to remove the woman''s dress but she pushes him down


    on the bed and brings out a knife from under the bed, the man tries to hold her down but she


    sessfully stabs him right through the head. Richard cries out and sits down on the floor grabbing his


    head with his hands, he felt pain and betrayal from seeing that.


    "Why would you do that Mom?" Richard sniffs and tears roll down from his eyes, he had seen what he


    has always been trying to avoid.


    Ngozi and Huffcupp find themselves in a cabin house, Huffcupp quickly stays behind Ngozi to protect


    her.


    "It''s going to be fine." Huffcupp tries to calm her down cause he knows how dangerous her powers can


    get when she''s stressed.


    Ngozi tries to look away and quickly hugs Huffcupp to not see anything, Huffcupp suddenly fades away.


    "No." Ngozi streches her left hand but Huffcupp body had already turned into dust, Essence appears in


    front of her. Ngozi grabs his neck and stares at him in a very vicious way.


    "What did you do to him?" She said boldly, Essence giggles.


    "Nothing, he''s just back into that amulet of yours." He snaps his fingers and time suddenly stops,


    Essence pushes Ngozi out of the way.


    "Readers. Please stay with me, meet Ngozi the girl with the special amulet that has been passed on


    from woman to woman. Her grandmother gave it to her but this one is very easy to break unlike the


    others." Essence says and vanishes A strange man appears holding the hand of a little girl, Ngozi


    kneels down and covers her eyes.


    "Please stop this." Her voice shakens, she starts getting really scared and her amulet starts levitating.


    The man removes the clothes of the young girl.


    "That''s enough!" Ngozi stands up boldly and her eyes colours quickly change to a very deep ck


    colour. A dark gas suddenly starts appearing around the room, one of her imaginary friend was


    emerging but Ngozi never used that one cause it had some kind of control over her. This particr


    friend only came out once when Ngozi was in very deep danger, a albino woman covered by ck


    feathers around her body with a ck hat and deeply ck high heels appears beside Ngozi. The


    name of this strange woman was Tina, Tina summouns a dark power ball that starts expanding around


    the room. Essence appears again and starts getting scared.


    "Shit. it''s Tina, even I can''t really stop her I guess you bunch of fools are lucky this time. Thanks to


    Ngozi and her dearest imaginary friend, next time don''te after your dearest Papa." Essence


    <pughs, his voice starts fading away and he snaps his finger.

 Chapter 3: THE NEW GIRL

    Chapter 3: THE NEW GIRL


    In a mortuary, Tolu a young human ck girl with braids sits beside a buried coffin. Tolu sighs in


    difort and tears start rolling down her eyes. Tolu was Chong''s closest friend and he always looked


    out for her, she didn''t feel the same again and felt a part of her had already left her body, Tolu has been


    in the mortuary for over 2hours and she waits for Papa and the others toe along, she brings out a


    nk sheet of paper and moves closer to the buried coffin "I didn''t know what to write Chong, I just


    couldn''t say goodbye." She checks the time on her crystal wristwatch and starts wondering where the


    others are. A old man with a broom passes her by butes back to her and moves closer to her


    "They still haven''t showed up huh?" Tolu forces a smile "Yes but I''m sure they''ll be here anytime soon."


    The old man starts coughing, he tries to sit down but his back hurts after cleaning up the whole


    mortuary, he remains standing " You should probably check on them, crazy world we live in." Tolu gets


    up and quickly moves out of the mortuary to find Papa.


    Tolu arrives at the front door of Papa''s house, she had been there for over 5minute knocking the door.


    N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    She wonders where everyone might have gone to, she brings out a hair pin from her pocket and opens


    the door, she wanders around the house and starts shouting Papa''s name. "Papa! Where could he


    be?" Tolu starts getting worried cause she knows Papa never left his house while she knew him and


    even if he left, he wouldn''t forget to attend Chong'' s funeral. She always felt Chong and Papa had a


    very tight friendship apart from what Chong told her she had talked with Papa a couple of times. She


    moves to the dining table and touches the center table, Tolu chuckles and a smile quickly radiants from


    her face. "So many good time here."


    In a shback that takes ce in 2016, Tolu is seated on the dining chair beside Papa, they''ve both


    beenughing for awhile now. Papa quickly starts questioning her. "So what''s your profession Tolu?"


    Tolu smiles awkwardly, she felt he might not like it. "A police officer." Papa stares at her for a minute.


    "That''s brave, I mean you don''t have any superpowers and you''re out there trying to help people." Tolu


    has always been talked down on about her job, there weren''t much humans like her in her station and


    she was always mocked for it. She felt a little warmth knowing Papa likes the idea. "My dad was a


    officer to not that I want to be like him but I just want to help people." Papa pats her pack."Wonderful,


    you''re better than Chong who''s always afraid of everything." Chong, a young chubby Asian manes


    out of a kitchen, he was listening to everything Papa and Tolu were saying."Keep quiet Papa." Chong


    felt a little bit embarrassed cause Tolu has always made jokes about him being weak. They all giggled


    for awhile, Tolu knew only little about Papa and Chong''s rtionship so she took the opportunity to ask


    questions. "So Chong, did Papa adopt you when you were a baby?" Tolu felt shy about asking that


    question and it was showing on her face. "No, Papa helped a bunch of us at the lowest point of our


    miserable lives." Tolu felt morefortable about his response knowing he wasn''t angry about the


    questions. "And where are the others." Chong moves to a fridge beside the dining chairs, he opens it


    and brings out a bottle of wine. "They aren''t here, they moved a long time ago." Chong voice changed


    when he said that, like he had wanted to leave to. Papa smiles."Discovering themselves as they always


    put it" Chong pours the wine into different ss cups. "What they should be doing is checking on us."


    Tolu moves closer to him. "I''m sure they''ll turn up soon." Chong has never bought a friend to Papa''s


    house so Papa quickly brings up a strange question. "Are both of you a....." Chong quickly


    interrupts."No!"


    Back to the present, Tolu is still looking around for clues, she goes to living room and stands beside the


    center table. She sighs heavily as she starts getting really worried, a portal suddenly appears in front of


    her and it spits out the team except for Pap. Tolu quickly moves back and screams. "Gross!" Ayo


    quickly gets up and starts questioning Tolu. "Who are you." Streches his finger to her, she pushes his


    finger with her right hand. "A friend of Chong, didn''t see you guys at the funeral so I decided to check


    here." Gboyega looks really pale. " I need to vomit." Gboyega rushes to the bathroom, Tolu remains


    confused about what''s going on. "Can you tell me what happened?" Ayo moves closer to her. "None of


    your business." Ayo''s voice deepens, Ngozi who hasn''t been paying attention quickly moves in


    between them. "Cut thedy some ck." Ngozi pushes Ayo back, Richard sits on a chair. "How do we


    know you''re saying the truth?" Richard sayd to Tolu, Tolu quickly faces him. "Cause Chong told me


    everything about you guys, even the potatoes incident." Richard moves closer to her and hugs her.


    "Anyone that knows about the potatoes incident is family." Tolu brushed him off. "Where is Papa?"


    Richard who already likes Tolu''s energy tells her. "He was kidnapped by a crazy person with this crazy


    reality changing powers." Ayo hits Richard on the left hand, he expected him to have kept quiet.


    "Really?" Tolu starts wandering around the room, she knows Papa needs her help and this can be the


    opportunity she needs to prove to the people in the station that she can handle a case. "You guys need


    my help and lucky for all of you I''m a police officer." Ngozi sighs in relief. "Good, link us up with some


    officers so we can start working on this case." Richard rolls his eyes. "Didn''t you see what we just went


    through, no police officer is going to help us Ngozi." Tolu nods to the positive about what Richard said.


    "Did you guys get any information while inside that portal?" The team start thinking. "We know he calls


    himself Essence" Ayo quickly responds before the others, Tolu types the name on her phone. "I''ll look


    into that and get back to you guys tomorrow morning." Tolu jumps in excitement and leaves the house.


    That night, Gboyega brings out the portrait of Gbemi. "I''m sorry." His voice and a sense of guilt hit his


    mind.


    Richard summons up courage and knocks on Ngozi door, a minuteter Ngozi opens the door shocked


    to see Richard. "What do you want?" Ngozi faces her head down, Richard stammers at first butter


    speaks. "Essence said you saved us, I just wanted to thank you, I saw some pretty fucked up shit."


    Ngozi touches Richard shoulder. "You''re going to be alright Richard." Ngozi goes back to her room and


    closed the door, Richard turns around and sees a lifeless version of his mom standing in front of him,


    knowing this is a illusion cause this isn''t the first time she''s been taunting him with this, he passes


    through the fading body.


    Ngozi sits on her bed, she brings out her amulet and starts thinking about how she summouned Tina.


    Ngozi felt in some kind of trance, a tinydy fairy with wings wearing a long green how suddenly


    appear in front of her, Ngozi stares at her in excitement knowing that her friend who will always help


    her when she''s confused had arrived. "Is she really back Daisy?" Daisy nods to the positive.


    Ayo stares at his room window and sighs heavily. "I know who I am, I get to decide who I am and no


    one can take that from me."


    In the middle of a forest, a man using animal skin as clothing and has red beads around his arms and


    necks with a tiny lion sculpture inserted in his chest sits on the ground. The man starts saying


    incantations in Yoruba and finally speaks English. "Bring Papa to me." A sudden wave of wind hits him,


    the man body starts shaking and he hears the voice of a woman. The voice whispers to him and


    echoes away. "Papa is trying to escape me." The man eyes start closing and a form of rage enters his


    body. "Son! We have to go."

 Chapter 4: ROAD TRIP

    Chapter 4: ROAD TRIP


    In a shback to 2011, In Papa''s house the whole gang gather together in the dining room discussing


    about ideas as they''ve all been getting closer. Richard already getting tired of staying at home all day


    brings up the idea that they can start helping people with their powers.


    "I know it might sound crazy but this is just what we need to get back on our feets." Richard says, the


    team feels indifferent about the idea, Gboyega who is scared of using his powers responds.


    "I hope you know I''m not good at all with my powers, one push of anger and I might blow a ce up."


    Gboyega says, Richard pats Gboyega on the shoulder.


    "My parents trained me in a very dangerous and strict way, I can teach you how to control your


    powers." Richard said, Ayo starts liking the idea and nods to the positive.


    "You know there''s nothing bad in trying this, I and Slip have always wanted to see what other things my


    powers can do.." Ayo said, Ngozi shocked that Ayo has never really used his powers responds.


    "With all these special tech in you, you''ve not still started using your powers." Ngoziughed


    mockingly,Ayo feeling left out, he quickly whistles and steps back a little bit.


    "Just call me when you''re all ready." Ayo says and leaves the dining room, Chong sits but doesn''t


    contribute cause he knows his powers can''t do anything to help. Chong powers weren''t on the


    offensive level, it was meant for defence and protection.


    "So what about me?" Chong voice was so low, Gboyega pushes Richard to talk to Chong, Richard


    doesn''t feelfortable but being the only bold person he is speaks out.


    "Chong you know your powers are not really......." Chong quickly interrupts.


    "I understand." Chong says, feeling left out and embarrassed, he runs out and goes to the sitting room,


    Gboyega moves to the kitchen. Ngozi questions Richard.


    "You really seem hyped about this." She says and chuckles a bit, Richard smiles back at her.


    Why wouldn''t I? After growing up in a damaged home and I was busy ending people lives. I can make


    up for that." Says Richard, he grew up with a mafia family, his Parents were the top bosses around the


    ce but Richard never wanted that type of life. He moved closer to Ngozi.


    "You never told me how you got your amulet." Richard asked, Ngozi stares at his face for awhile, lost in


    his beauty. She stammers for some minutes thenter speaks.


    "I''m sorry." Ngozi says and runs off.


    2monthster, Gboyega goes to a forest wearing a overall cloth. He looks around and makes sure no


    one is following him or around him, Gboyega breathes out and streches both his hands. He inhales


    oxygen and calmly breathes out. Fire starts igniting out of his hand and he quickly starts chuckling in


    excitement, this was the first time he had control over his powers, a huge burden wasing out of


    him. Gboyega stops the fire froming out, he quickly leaves the forest and walks down a ghetto, he


    sees a youngdy getting robbed. Gaining some new kind confidence after using his powers, he stands


    firmly.


    "Leave that youngdy alone!" Gboyega shouts and moves closer to the man robbing the woman. He


    streches his hand and a huge wave of firees out of his hand, Gboyega already losing control of his


    powers quickly tries to stop it but can''t, a wave of past memories start hitting him and fire starts


    covering up his body. Luckily thedy manages to drag the thief out of the fire and knocks him down.


    Thedy moves to Gboyega who''s bending his head, she pats him. Gboyega raises his head and see


    youngdy wearing a weavon standing in front of him.


    "Thanks for trying to help but I was already handling the issue." She talks in a very calm tone, Gboyega


    gets up and forces a smile out of his lip.


    "I was just trying to help." Gboyega voice shakens, she holds his left hand.


    "It''s okay, your powers aren''t stable right? Mine were pretty hard to control too, my name is Gbemi."


    Gboyega finds it very hard to interact with people, he was always awkward when he was around


    people but he feltfortable around Gbemi.


    "My name is Gboyega." He says swiftly.


    In the present, Tolu is in the police station searching for clues and names on aptop to gather


    information about Essence. Dayo a chubby, dark skinned man wearing a ck police uniform, he shuts


    theptop down.


    "You don''t need to be doing this Tolu." Dayo says and sighs, he promised to always take care of Tolu


    since she joined the police force.


    "I''m working on a very important case so can you buzz off." She says firmly, Dayo has always been in


    Tolu business, she finds it very annoying but she also knows that he''s doing all this because he cares.


    "You''re not a Supernatural like the rest of us, you''ll get yourself killed one day." Tolu is not shakened by


    what he said, she grew up to never fear anyone especially Supernaturals, her father will always take


    her out to teach her unique moves and key elements to taking down Supernaturals.


    "I''m fine Dayo, I was the only normal student while I was at the police academy and I prevailed." Dayo


    knowing he can''t stop her decides to help her.


    "So what case are you working on?" He asked, Tolu smiles and decides not to tell him cause she


    doesn''t really know what she''s working in to, Tolu is just looking for a way to prove that she can do alot


    as other Supernaturals can do.


    "A special case." She says and stands up, two male officers walk in.


    "You better stick with staying in the station than going out to die." One of them said, these two men


    were Jonah and Timi, they were Supernaturals and we''re both hired the same day Tolu was hired. They


    gained joy in teasing her and they''ve been listening to what her and Dayo have been saying. ''I don''t


    have time for both of you." Tolu walks out angrily.


    Tolu gets to Papa''s house very early, she bangs at all the doors. Tolu was feeling angry about what


    happened at the station, she felt more determined to find Papa and stop Essence. "Everyonee


    out! We have to find Papa." Tolu walks around the living room, she couldn''t sit down cause of what


    happened, she looked at herself in a mirror and felt worthless, throughout since she knew her father he


    had never felt that way, he always told her about how the station was peaceful ce for him. "I''ll try


    everything to make to be like you Father." She says while frowning, Gboyega gets to the living room


    and stares at her, he moves to a chair without greeting her, Tolu doesn''t even notice that he has gotten


    to the living room until he starts moving his feet, she turns around and faces him. "I don''t think both of


    us have properly met." Gboyega doesn''t respond, he actually had nothing to say. He has always tried


    his best not to make new friends. "The others gave me all the necessary update." He smirks, she goes


    to a chair and sits. The otherster show up and get sorted, Tolu stands up. "What took you guys


    time?" Ayo talks back. " It''s hard for me to get up." Ngozi yawns and uses her hands to scratch her


    eyes. "What did you find?" Ngozi is very curious about the situation, Tolu smiles knowing that at least


    one of them is ready to help out, Tolu brings out a paper from her pocket and reads out what''s written.


    "Well, there were multiple cases about this powerful Supernatural who called himself Essence, years


    factory called "Cale factory" in Akure State and shows it to the team. "While I was searching around, I


    figured out that some people said Essence wasst seen there, we need to check it out." Richard


    excited about the idea jumps out of his chair. " A road trip, this is going to be amazing." The others are


    still a little scared about facing Essence especially after everything they experienced in the portal. "You


    won''t understand when I say we don''t want to face Essence, he did so many fucked up things to us."


    Gboyega talks out of fear but Tolu assures all of them that everything is going to be fine. "You guys


    should get your shit together. Chong told me about everything Papa did for you guys, let''s just try and


    find him." Ayo stands beside Tolu after what she said. "While I feel Papa wille back home, I


    understand this whole idea and I think we should all go." Tolu nods and walks out of the living room,


    shees back and smiles awkwardly. "So, who has a car we can take cause my car isn''t really good


    and I ain''t paying for a Uber." Tolu says, Richardughs. "Let''s just take mine."


    In a shback, three months has passed since Gboyega and Gbemi met. They both have gotten really


    close, she teaches Gboyega how to use his powers twice per week but they both haven''t had a deep


    conversation this is because Gboyega finds it very awkward to still talk to her. One particr day,


    Gboyega burns his hands while training so Gbemi takes him to her 1 bedroom apartment to use


    bandages on his arms while doing this they are both quiet, Gboyega feels he might lose this friendship


    if he doesn''t get close with her. "You''ve never really told me much about yourself." Gboyega voice


    shakens, he was scared thinking what he said was off, she chuckles. "You never really talked to me to


    so I just left you to do your own thing. By the way the only reason why I''m training you is because you


    tried to help me." The feeling of losing this pure friendship hits Gboyega more harder. "I never really


    made friends apart from the people I live with, spent my entire childhood in my room." Gboyega faces


    his head down, his parents always locked him up and felt ashamed of him, Gbemi uses her hand to


    raise his head. "Sorry about that, I''m just a normal Supernatural girl trying to help the world, I''ve been


    manipted times without number. So trust me when I say you''re not missing out, the people around


    here are pretty shitty." Gboyega smiles at her and responds. "You''re not." They both stare at each other


    in a very romantic way, Gbemi isn''t concentrating anymore and her body starts glowing. Gboyega taps


    her hand. "Your light powers........" Gbemi gains focus and interrupts. "Yeah, I know." Gboyega


    questions her again. "You have any family?" Gbemi feels ufortable about the question but still


    responds. " I have a daughter, she stays with my sister in London and before you ask about her


    dad........ Well he left us." Tears fill Gbemi''s eyes, she never wanted to have a child with the man but


    was manipted, Gboyega holds her hand. "Sorry." Gbemi brightens up, a ball of white lightes out


    of her hand, she ces it on Gboyega burnt hand and it starts healing him. For the past two months


    that Gbemi has been training Gboyega, he was always shocked about how good she handled her


    powers. "You''re so perfect with your powers." He stares at the white light ball astonished, the light ball


    fades away and she grabs his hand. "Some of us our powers work by how we handle our emotions." A


    sense of guilt hits Gboyega after what he said, his hand starts hitting up again. He couldn''t handle what


    he had done in the past. "I killed my parents with my powers." Tears roll down from his eyes.


    In the present, by afternoon time the whole team are in the car. Tolu is driving while Gboyega sits


    beside her, Ayo sits in the middle at back cause both Ngozi and Richard refuse to sit beside each other.


    Gboyega starts to rant. "You guys shouldn''t have brought me, it''ll just end badly." Richard hits Gboyega


    chair with his leg. "Why are you being so negative?" Gboyega sighs. "It''s just fact Richard, thest


    mission I went for didn''t end well." Hours passed and Richard takes control of the wheel while Ngozi


    monitors him, Richard tries not to talk to her but he can''t hold it. "I don''t need someone to monitor me."


    Ngozi responds. "Well, we all know you''re a bit crazy." Ngozi sighs, since they''ve both broken up both


    haven''t talked about the issue, Richard isn''t satisfied about it and goes ahead to question her about it.


    "You know you were always acting moody after months when we started dating, I know you had issues


    with your dad but you never told me what it was and I just felt you were hiding alot from me." Ngozi is a


    very secretive person, she doesn''t respond this leads Richard to act a little immature. "Did he beat


    you? Or p your mom?" Ngozi hits him in his arm. "Can you try not to be insensitive?" Richard


    chuckles a bit. "I want to help you." Ngozi looks through her window. "If you want to help me then you''ll


    mind your business." Ngozi says this hoping she''ll end the discussion but Richard continues to behave


    like a pest. "He didn''t take you to school." Ngozi gets really angry by this statement and shouts. "That''s


    enough." The anger in her causes her amulet to release a powerful soundwave knocking down the


    engine of the car, this awakens the others. Tolu rushes down from the car hoping that her n hasn''t


    been messed up" What happened." Tolu gets really nervous, Ayo opens the bo of the car and a


    huge wave of smokees out of it. "The engine is fried" Ayo sighs, Gboyega who feels his cursed


    moves back a little bit. "This is why I said you guys shouldn''t bring me, I''m like a curse." Gboyega


    moves to Ngozi and Richard who are standing afar from the others. "What were both of you up to while


    we were asleep." He hisses and walks away. Tolu heart starts beating really fast, feeling she has failed


    her thoughts move to Richard knowing he has teleportation powers. "Richard can''t you get us out of


    here?" Richard pats her right shoulder. "I''m a little bit exhausted also my powers work by my mood."


    Ngozi amulet starts glowing and a blue coloured dwarf suddenly appears in front of them. "Thanks for


    lightning, he checks out the car engine and coughs out immediately due to the smoke. "Oof, this car is


    gone." Blitz talks with a very thick igbo dialect. "There''s no fixing it, the amulet caused the damage. You


    guys should find the nearest hotel and stay there till tomorrow morning, by then I''ll see what I can do."


    Blitz vanishes, Tolu is fascinated by what she saw, she has only heard about what Ngozi can do by


    Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.


    Chong. "That''s really awesome Ngozi." She smiles and Ngozi smiles back at her. "I think the best thing


    we can do is what Blitz said, let''s start pushing."


    They all manage to push the car to the front of a small motel, Tolu goes in to the receptionist who''s a


    man and talks to him. "I need five rooms please." The young boy chuckles. "I''m sorry we only have two


    more rooms." Tolu hits her hand on the counter. "Listen, those people that I carried won''t be able to


    stay together I think." The young boy sits on his chair. "We only have two rooms, take it or leave it."


    Tolu goes outside to meet the team and hands a key to Ayo. "They have only two rooms."


    Thedies settle in their room, they bothy their bed. Ngozi chuckles as she''s whispering to Daisy.


    Tolu still fascinated by this questions her about it. "You''re talking to your imaginary friend? How does it


    even work?" Ngozi knows Tolu has had a bad day and she has alot going on with her not wanting her


    to feel bad she responds. "I have this amulet, somehow it''s connected to me mentally. I can do alot with


    it but I prefer just doing this." Tolu sits on the bed. "It''s magical, you know getting to create your own


    friends." Ngozi smiles and Huffcupp suddenly appears on the floor. "Meet Huffcupp, my first imaginary


    friend." Astonished, Tolu touches his fur. Huffcupp pushes her hand. "She''s touchy." Toluughs out


    loud, she felt a wave of calmness in her body after all the stress today. "How many of them do you


    have?" Tolu ask out of curiosity. "Fifteen, why don''t we shower for Huffcupp." They both chase


    Huffcupp around the house as he refuses to take a bath.


    In a shback to 2013, the whole group around to talk. They all feel much more better so Gboyega,


    Richard and Ngozi think is about time they move out while Ayo and Chong think it''s a bad idea. "Listen,


    I know it might sound crazy but I think that''s what will be best for us. Papa found us at the lowest point


    of our lives but I feel were better now." Richard supports Gboyega idea. "That''s what I was thinking to.


    Ayo is much more confident with his powers, Gboyega is with Gbemi and Ngozi is with me." Ayo teases


    Richard about what he said. "You and Ngozi? Perfect couple in the group." He chuckles and continues


    talking. "I don''t know how I feel about this, what will Papa think?" Ngozi who has been getting closer


    with the others talks. "Papa will be fine about it, I think that''s what he''ll want from us . Ayo I know you


    were the first here and it''s hard for you to let go but we all have to move on at some point." Ayo sighs.


    "I know but I didn''t think it will be this soon." The others stare at Chong, he didn''t contribute to anything


    they''ve all said. "Are you okay Chong?" Gboyega ask, Chong doesn''t want to leave Papa but a part of


    him wants to go. "I can''t leave him." The team don''t know much about Chong, he came to the house


    unexpected and was thest to join them. Most time he''ll always spend all his time with Papa and was


    very distant from the others. "Hey, you can stay with I and Ngozi or if you don''t like me you can stay


    with Gboyega and Gbemi join them while they fight crime." Chong stands up and walks out without


    answering.


    In 2016, Gboyega and Gbemi have joined forces to start stopping crimes in Lagos. They both have


    been working on a case for years to stop a mafia crime boss. They get heads up about the location of


    the person, they invade a warehouse that''s located at a silent street and knock down the guards.


    "Moving together was a great idea." Gboyega chuckles as he talks, the whole room is quite dark so


    Gbemi summons a light ball to look around the ce. "I don''t think Vonz is here, the bastard probably


    knew we wereing." They both gear the sound of a gun and from the shadow five stray bullets hits


    Gbemi right through the chest. Gboyega screams. "No!"


    In the present, Gboyega wakes up shirtless the others are in a hurry. He gets up from his bed and


    looks for his shirt, Ayo moves to Gboyega. "What were you thinking about? I''ve been shouting your


    name for over 3minute." Gboyega hasn''t been feeling himself, he has been thinking about Gbemi and


    he isn''t ready to head out. "Shouldn''t we take some kind of break?" Richard is confused by what


    Gboyega said cause he sees himself as thezy one. "You''re finally embracing yourzy side." Richard


    chuckles. Tolu and Ngozi enter the boy''s room, Tolu is shocked that the guys haven''t gotten ready. "We


    have a long way to go guys, let''s go." Tolu is anxious and wants to rush them, she faces Ngozi. "Can


    you summon Blitz?" Tolu says, Ngozi nods to the positive. She brings out her amulet from her pocket,


    she closes her eyes and squeezes the amulet hoping to summon Blitz but the amulet doesn''t work


    cause the girls used it all night. "I think it''s taking a time out, needs to recharge." Gboyega is happy


    about this cause he knows they won''t be able to go for the mission anymore, the whole mess causes


    an argument between everyone. Richard quickly gets frustrated by all this. "Stop!" He grabs Ngozi left


    hand and they vanish out of the room.

 Chapter 5: JOHN

    Chapter 5: JOHN


    In Akure State, Richard and Ngozi suddenly appear in the middle of a all ck huge factory. Ngozi hits


    Richard chest constantly with her hand vexed about what he just did.


    "Why didn''t you bring the others?" Ngozi is very anxious cause she knows they both can''t handle this


    on their own, Richard is chilled about the situation and moves to the door of the factory.


    "Cause they''ll all start arguing again and ruin the fun." Richard says and enters the building Ngozi


    Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    follows, inside they see different human body parts on the floor, Ngozi starts getting scared and she


    quickly summons Huffcupp forfort. Richard isn''t phased by this, he had seen a lot of body parts


    during his childhood and he grew up with people that enjoyed victimizing and terrorizing others.


    "The person that owned this ce is a creep." Ngozi says out of disgust, a old man with a walking stick


    "I''m not a creep." The man voice shakens as he talks, his dental teeth fall off he tries to pick it up but


    his back pains him so he doesn''t move.


    "I''ll help you with that." Ngozi says and gently picks it up, gives it to the man, she feels pity for the man


    by just seeing him thinking he had a rough life.


    "Do you own this ce Sir?" Richard starts getting really serious, the man puts back his dental tooth in


    his mouth and responds.


    "I did, as you can see the ce is closed down." The man tries to get away from the conversation, he


    turns around and starts walking out.


    "We need some information about a man called Essence, we both work for the FBI." Richard says, the


    man heart starts beating really fast, he sweats heavily and ns to escape but he can''t cause he


    couldn''t even bend down not to talk of running.


    "I''ve told you people everything I knowst time." The man pleads, Richard figures out the man is


    cracking and they have the upper hand.


    "The whole office was changed, most of the officers left with their files. So we need new information."


    Richard says confidently without hesitating, Ngozi is shocked she had never seen him this serious.


    "Walk with me." The man tells them as he leads them to his office.


    Richard and Ngozi sits down in a office as the man exins to them while standing.


    "My name is John and this my factory was where Supernaturals were given powers before it was shut


    down by the government." He says, Richard and Ngozi start asking different questions, Ngozi shuts


    Richard up and she speaks.


    "Give Supernaturals power? I''m confused on that I thought Supernaturals were born with powers."


    Ngozi says, John uses his tongue to ce his dental tooth in the right ce.


    "Not all Supernaturals gain powers naturally. Some, infuse bloods of past Supernaturals into their DNA


    and they are different other methods." John says proud of his work, they are both intrigued by this.


    "Wow!" Ngozi is particrly fascinated by this.


    "Essence was brought here one day, he said he needed telekinesis but things didn''t go well. Bad things


    went down that day, I and my ex partner created one of the greatest Supernaturals the world had ever


    seen." John said while his body was shaking, he was shakened by the experience that happened that


    particr day They both get scared.


    "What was the name of this your ex partner?" Richard ask, John spits out on the ground, he had kept


    so much hatred for the particr person.


    "He called himself Papa, ruined my....." Richard quickly interrupts.


    "Well we are looking for Papa, he was a close friend of ours and seems like Essence took him."


    Richard swiftly says, John is caught in a trance after hearing that Papa is still alive, he looked at


    Richard and Ngozi with disgust.


    "I''ll be right back." He says in a very bad manner and walks out of his office, Ngozi whispers to Richard.


    "Seems like he doesn''t like Papa." She says, Richard felt it to.


    "Yeah, haters are going to hate." Richard says while Ngozi was suspicious Richard didn''t bother. John


    "Any friend of Papa is a enemy to me, he ruined my life." John says aggressively, Richard quickly grabs


    the knife from John, teleports behind him and stabs him from the back. John falls down, bleeding


    heavily. Ngozi screams and immediatelyys down on the floor close to the bleeding body, she had a


    strong hatred against killing while Richard was brought up with it and had been trained to always kill.


    "I''m sorry, he was trying to hurt you." He tries to put his hand on her shoulder but she shoves him away.


    "You could have just knocked him down." She shouts and walks out of the office while Richard stares at


    the dead body with a heavy guilt on him.

 Chapter 6: MOTEL CREW

    Chapter 6: MOTEL CREW


    Back in the hotel. Tolu, Ayo and Gboyega sit outside thinking of a way to get to get back. Gboyega gets


    tired of waiting and confronts Tolu.


    "What do we do now leader?" Gboyega talks in a very sarcastic manner, Tolu stressed by everything


    still has hope that something will turn up.


    "Wait for Richard and Ngozi, I''m sure they''ll turn up." She says with hope, Gboyega is already tired of


    Tolu''s attitude, he is sick of waiting for them and he definitely is scared about what the oue of this


    mission might be.


    "Trust me when I say they aren''t turning up, those two will find a way back home. They can take care of


    themselves." Gboyega voice gets higher, Tolu tries to calm him down.


    "We can''t just....." Gboyega interrupts her.


    "Listen up, you''re going to need to stop this hero bullshit attitude and face facts! We can''t save Papa


    right now so why don''t you call some officers toe pick us up." Gboyega says and walks back into


    the motel, Ayo who has been watching both of them argue chuckles, Tolu moves closer to him.


    "What''s his deal?" Tolu is confused cause Chong told her that Gboyega was the type of person that


    was ready to explore and go on different adventures.


    "I know you''re worried about Papa but you can''t just force people to do what they don''t want to do." Ayo


    gently tells her, Tolu moves to a fridge that has snack bar, she pays and gets a chocte bar.


    "But aren''t you worried about him?" She says and offers him a chocte bar as she talks but he rejects


    it.


    "I''m scared, I and Papa were really close and I''m just hoping he gives me a call and let us know that he


    is fine." Ayo who has been trying to hide how he feels starts getting really scared, while he lived with


    Papa he knew that he had travelled in different mysterious ways but not like this.


    "Then do something Ayo, I''ve heard that you can do so many things with your cybeic." Tolu wasn''t


    lying, Ayo had ess to different powers, he could easily recharge the energy of the car with one


    touch of his powers or turn his legs to rocketuncher and so much more but a part of him keeps


    reminding him not to.


    "I can''t, my powers have some issues just call someone to pick us up.


    Gboyega isn''t enjoying this experience and I''m about to lose it too." Ayo says and walks out, Tolu is


    also stressed about being in here but she doesn''t want to ept defeat by calling Deji. Her phone


    rings, she checks the caller and sees it''s Dayo calling her at first she puts the phone back in her


    pocket.


    "I can find a way out of here by myself." But her thoughts quickly shifts to Gboyega, she brings out her


    phone and picks the call.


    "Hi Dayo." She says knowing she''ll forever regret this.


    Back in the motel, a red Toyota Coro car parks in front of the hotel. Tolu rushes to call the others.


    "Let''s go guys!" She shouts out loud, she moves to the passenger seat and stares at Dayo who''s


    driving, he pats her on her shoulder.


    "I''m sorry and I promise not to tell anyone about this." Dayo said calmly.


    "It always gets better." Tolu says to herself praying that they get better oues tomorrow.


    That night, In Papa''s house. Ngozi knocks on Ayo door, he opens it and is shocked to see her.


    "What a pleasant surprise." Ayo says, she chuckles and responds in a very low tone.


    "Listen, I know we all love Papa but something about the man we saw didn''t feel right. It seemed like


    he was scared of Papa, maybe by tomorrow you could do some digging."


    She says and walks out, Ayo isn''t worried he saw Papa has his hero and felt all this will blow away by


    tomorrow morning.


    In the middle of a forest, a red shrine is found in it and the man who was calling Papa''s name in the


    middle of the forest is found meditating inside. This man name was Oloogun and unlike other


    Supernaturals who get their powers naturally he relied on rituals and the power of the gods. He was


    part of a club called the "Trials", another ck man wearing a all blue coloured cloth with bear furs


    suddenly appear in front of him, this man was Odi a Igbo man, he and Oloogun don''t always get along.


    "Where''s Papa, Oloogun?" Odi talks in a very calm manner but is also trying to drive Oloogun nuts


    knowing already that he has failed.


    "I''m trying to find him." Oloogun tried his best to respond in a very calm manner, Odi stares at Odi and


    "Just don''t fail like your son failed you." Odi says mockingly, Oloogun gets up angered by what Odi


    says a huge crack of lightning opens from the sky. A woman quicklyes in and pushes Oloogun.


    "Stop!" The ground shaked as she talks, she gentlynds on the ground. Thisdy wore a long ck


    ribe, her name was Fa''izah a Hausa woman and is the leader of the Trials. Oloogun and Odi feared her


    cause she had immense powers.


    "Any luck on finding Papa." She says, her eyeballs glow in a very blue colour as she talks.


    "No, I''ll find........." Oloogun shivered as he responds, she interrupts him.


    "Go to his house Oloogun before we take other steps." She said firmly pointing to the door.


    Oloogun rushes out of the shrine, waiting for him is his son Abayo, Oloogun doesn''t really care about

    the wellbeing of his son cause his son is a slow learner and he considers him a failure.


    "We have to go now rat, we have ces to be to." Oloogun says boldly

 Chapter 7: AYO

    Chapter 7: AYO


    The next morning, Ayo is looking around in Papa''s office hoping to find clues to defeat Essence. He still


    doesn''t take Ngozi allegations serious rather he is just going this to fulfill all justice, he sits down on a


    chair after searching for hours and finding nothing. He stares at his cybeic body and sighs. "This


    isn''t the life I signed up for."


    In 2006, Abuja State. Ayo lives in a duplex with his family and has no robotic part imnted in him, he


    had a perfect family, both his parents were alive and had three siblings. He puts on a brown Jersey and


    picks up a basketball, he always enjoyed ying basketball with his friends and most times when he


    goes out like this he ends up getting back home veryte.


    Ayo leaves the house and starts jogging to the basketball court, the court wasn''t really far from his


    house and his friends were already calling him to hurry up. He mistakenly pushes a young whitedy.


    "I''m so sorry." He says this as he helps her get up, thedy stares at him. "Thank......." She falls on the


    ground before she could finish what she wanted to say, Ayo gets scared as people start facing them.


    "Help me get to my car." She points to a ck Jeep, Ayo carries her there. Thedy eyes start glowing


    into different colours, she focuses it on Ayo and he faints.


    Ayo wakes up in a very dizzy state, he finds himself in a small dark room and his hands and legs are


    tied with a rope on a bed. He struggles to escape but the rope is to strong. "Somebody help!" He


    continues shouting and he suddenly stops after three minute fully aware he was kidnapped but what


    for? Ayo never had issues with anyone, he was a very easy-going person. His thought went to the


    whitedy, could she be punishing him for why he did? He knew wasn''t possible, he was very polite


    and helpful to her when she fell. A young white man wearing a white colouredb coat walks in, he was


    very tall and he had a lot of wrinkles on his skin. "Hey, if you''re the brother of thatdy then I can


    assure you i didn''t mean it so just let me go." The man and thedy looked alike so Ayo first thought


    was that the guy was her brother, the man clears his throat and speaks. "Wee to the ce where


    you will be better as a human being." This man was Bryan and he was the leader of a group calledContent from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    "The Organization." The members of the group are different white men and women, they experimented


    on ck people in order to discover different new creations in the world. Ayo had be their next


    prey. "I''m Bryan and I want to help you Ayo, you are going to be fine and when you wake up you''re


    going to be better." Ayo quickly gets scared and pleads that he should be let go, he had never been in


    any situation like this at all. He had always minded his business and kept a tight circle. "Please let me


    go, I have a family." Ayo voice shakens as he talks, Bryan brings out a syringe from his pocket and


    moves his head really close to Ayo. "Don''t worry, we''ll take care of your family." He injects the syringe


    on Ayo''s leg which knocks Ayo down.


    Ayo wakes up again still dizzy, he looks around and sees different scientist putting on mask checking


    out his body. "Where.......... I''m..........." He talks in a very low tone, he faces his head down and sees


    that his left leg has been cut off. "What the fuck!" He screams, one of the scientist quickly notices that


    he is awake and injects a syringe on his right leg knocking Ayo down. Thedy who kidnapped Ayo


    removes her mask. "We need to make sure he isn''t awake while the surgery goes on." She says firmly,


    a young ck boy wearing a mask walks in with a rectangr box, he doesn''t move close to the


    scientists and his body starts shaking, thedy grabs the box from him. "Now get out of here servant!"


    She points to the door and the boy runs out of the room. She opens the box and inside is a moving


    eye, it leaves a blue trail anytime it shakes, thedy grabs the eye and grips her arm. This eye was a


    living being from another dimension, The Organization were after it but we''re only able to recover the


    eye. "Bring out his eye." She says firmly.


    Ayo''s eyes start opening, he sees the scientists panicking around the room but he is just to weak to get


    up. Blood is all around the floor and even on Ayo''s body. "The machine were using is going to overload,


    we can''t contain this power." A scientist says, Ayo''s left hand raises up without his will and it releases a


    powerful beam on the wall, the whole building starts breaking down. Ayo sleeps off again.


    Ayo wakes up and sees different dead bodies of the scientistsying on the floor, his hand had be freed


    from the rope but as he tried to get up his body felt really heavy, he struggled and heard sounds of


    clutches. He manages to get up and stares at a window, he quickly turns around out of disgust, he


    couldn''t stare at his face and tears start rolling down from his only human eye, he touches the robot


    eye and felt a part of his humanity had already departed from him. "What happened here? Did I do


    this." He stares at the dead body of the scientist, a satisfactory smile is shown on his face. "I pray they


    rot in hell." He quickly finds his way out of the building but he can''t move his legs again, he falls on the


    ground." Come on." He worries as he fears that The Organization might find him again, all was in Ayo''s


    mind was getting back to his family his dad knew a popr doctor who could help him with his issue. A


    ck can parks in front of him and Papaes down from it, Ayo quickly gets scared thinking Papa''s


    one of The Organization memebers he streches his robotic hand towards Papa. "Stay away from me."


    Gboyega shouts, Papa raises both his hands up and tries to ease Ayo down. "Calm down boy, I''m here


    to help you. We need to go before theye after you again and I know you might not trust me for


    very good reasons but let me take you home." Papa moves closer to Ayo and Ayo let''s his guard down,


    he felt some warmth around Papa and his voice shakens as he talks. "I just want to go to my family."


    Tears roll down from Ayo''s only eye, Papa helps him get up and assist him to get to the van. "It''s a long


    story about your family and I''ve been monitoring this Organization for a very long time, thank you for


    burning this ce down."


    A year has passed since Ayo escaped with Papa, he had moved with Papa after figuring out The


    Organization killed his family. One particr day Ayo heads out while wearing a hoodie and oversized


    jeans to cover up his robotic body. Ayo goes to his family house and stand in front of the ce. "I miss


    you guys every time." He breathes out and walks away. He moves to the basketball court and watches


    his old friends y, he wants to go to them but is afraid that they might run off, he looks away and runs


    off to Papa house.


    Ayo sits at the rooftop of a building of a building and stares at the sunset, he suddenly hears the voice


    of a person talking in a robotic sound. "Who''s there." He gets really curious and starts looking around,


    the sound of the robot starts hitting his head. "I''m Slip." Ayo heard the robot voice again and figures out


    it''sings from his mind, he is mentally connected with the robot voice. "Who is Slip?" Ayo ask as he


    as never experienced any power with the robotic part in me except that it was heavy to lift his body. "I


    was born when your body was infused into mine, took a year for me to be able to reach you." Ayo gets


    a little bit excited and gets really curious. "What can you do?" He hopes his robotic side will have some


    advantages. "I''m getting a list of what you can do with your robotic side." Slip says, Ayo sighs in relief.


    "That''s amazing, at least it''s good to know I''m not alone."

 Chapter 8: RICHARD

    Chapter 8: RICHARD


    Richard is looking for his cigarette around his room as usual, it has always been his way to cool off and


    not think of the world but he couldn''t find it. He stares at his hand and in his head they were all filled


    with blood, bloods of John and bloods of other people he had killed.


    "She''s right, I shouldn''t have killed John."


    In 1989, Richard was two years old and he had just discovered his power. His mom Mariam, a middle


    age lightdy wearing heavy essories is talking with a doctor, she is clearly disappointed by


    Richard''s power.


    "This young boy is expected to take over the throne and rule the mafia underworld but his only power is


    teleportation." She talks arrogantly, the doctor tries to reason with her.


    "Teleportation is quite a useful power Ma but there''s no way I can change his powers." The doctor


    says, she sighs.


    "He''ll need alot of training, I need to prepare him." That night, Mariam goes to her room to join her


    husband, Jacob about same age with Mariam, very tall sits at the edge of the bed.


    "What did the doctor say?" Jacob ask curiously, Mariam sits beside him


    . "He has teleportation." She ces her head on her knee, unlike Mariam Jacob is optimistic about it.


    "That''s good news, he can help with all the stealth missions." Jacob gets really excited and stands up


    to check on his son, Mariam grabs his hand.


    "We can''t make him excited about this, we have to intensify his training. The only reason why people


    are afraid of you is because of your transformation to monsters, we need to make him work hard."


    By 1995, Richard has started getting different training on how to handle and take care of himself. Be


    moves to a dining room and he is given a timetable.


    Mondays for physical training


    Tuesdays for Language study


    Wednesdays for power training


    Thursdays for participation in missions


    Fridays for Dinner with other Families.


    Jacob insisted that Saturdays and Sundays should not be added and Richard should rest after all the


    stress, Mariam isn''t happy about this but she ys along. On one particr Tuesday, Mariam is with


    Richard listening to him speak in French, she stares at him firmly.


    "Start." She says boldly, Richard stares at her and his feet starts shaking but he manages to speak.


    "Je ne dois pas ¨ºtre faible car les faibles perdent toujours et finissent par mourir, je ne dois montrer


    aucune ¨¦motion.........." He stutters, knowing what he has done and Mariam is quite aggressive he


    quickly apologizes.


    "I''m so sorry..........." He quickly begs, she ps him on the right cheek before he couldplete his


    statement. She grabs his cheek with her hand.


    "You''ll die as a weak child." Mariam walks away disappointed.


    In 2004, it''s Richard birthday. He sits on the dining table hoping his parents will show up, he knew they


    wouldn''t cause they never showed up for his birthday but he had some kind of hope in him, his doctor


    walks in with a chocte cake and drops it on the dining table. The doctor looks around and sits down


    on a chair beside Richard.


    "I''m sorry." He pats Richard on the shoulder, the doctor had always taken care of Richard immediately


    he knew his mom didn''t like him he made a promise to himself that he''ll always look out for him.


    "I knew they won''t show up." Richard runs off to a bathroom, a teardrop rolled by his cheek then


    followed in an unbroken stream. He grabs a tissue with his hand and cleans off his eyes, he


    remembered what Mariam said that he couldn''t show emotions so he stood firmly and walked out of the


    bathroom. Richard looks for the Doctor around the house, he finds him at the backyard sitting on the


    ground and holding a cigarette. Richard runs to him and sits beside him.


    "Thank you for the cake. It looks amazing." He sniffed and wiped his eyes while trying to smile, he


    stares at the Doctor''s cigarette he had seen different people use it and wanted to know more about it.


    "This cigarette how does it make one feel?" The Doctor is shocked by the question and has no idea on


    how he''ll reply, he puts his hand around Richard shoulder.


    "I guess you''re already getting older." He looks around to make sure no one was listening to them.


    "This will probably take you to another world, it will let you forget about everything you''re going


    through......." the doctor says, Richard interested in this quickly interrupts.


    "Like no emotions?" Richard asked, the doctor nods to the positive, Richard sneaks a cigarette out of


    the doctor''s pocket.


    The next day, Richard is training with a sword against one of the family''s guard, Jacob and Mariam


    stand at a corner of the room watching him. The guard hits Richard head with the back of the sword,


    scared that he might get in trouble for hitting the Boss son the guard loses focus Richard sees this as a


    opportunity and teleports behind the guard, sweeps his feet. The guard falls on the floor, Mariam runs


    towards her son happy he is already getting better.


    "Nice going son, now kill him!" Jacob hears what Mariam said and runs toward them.


    "What?!" Jacob yells, he moves to the front of the guard, Mariam pushes him aside.


    "Our son needs to start joining us for missions, this is the perfect way to make him understand."


    Mariam says, Jacob isn''t happy with the idea, he had always shown more sympathy to the guards


    unlike Mariam. "I won''t let this stand." Jacob walks out, Mariam points her finger to the guard which


    meant that Richard should stab him. "This is a good lesson for you son, he lost focus and the weak


    never make it in this world."


    After 5minutes, Richard runs off to his room. Blood is dripping down from his hand, he grabs his pillow


    and squeezes his head on it, Richard just had his first kill while his mom expected him to be exicted


    about this achievement Richard felt he had made the biggest mistake of his life.


    The next day very early in the morning Richard puts on a all ck cloth. He and his parents were going


    on a mission, this was Richard first mission and for very good reasons he was very nervous not only


    did he just kill someone but he''ll have to kill more he couldn''t risk losing or else his parents will be


    disappointed. He brings out the cigarette he stole from the doctor and remembers what he told


    him."Makes me emotionless."


    Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    Years had passed and by 2008 Richard was already into drugs, it helped him with control over his


    power and he didn''t bother about anyone he killed. He did anything to always hide his emotions and


    master his powers. One night Richard is looking for his credit card he needed to head out to get drinks


    as usual, he couldn''t do without it after a long time of searching he decides to go to his dad for money.


    He walks into his parents room and sees Mariam slicing Jacob throat. "No!" Richard screams out of


    confusion and disgust, he never liked his parents but his dad was much nicer to him than Mariam.


    "Shut up, I can exin." Mariam talks in a very low tone but Richard isn''t ready to listen, he didn''t want


    to see her and didn''t want to stay in the house either, a huge blue coloured wave startsing out of


    his body and he suddenly vanishes out of the room.


    Richard finds himself in a forest, he looks around and runs out of the ce. He leaves the forest and


    gets to a roadside Richard is quite confused about where he is, a huge wave of emotions hit him when


    he used his power something he had never done, a woman passes his side and he talks to her in a


    very awkward and creepy way. "Where I''m I?" Thedy uses her purse to his him on his face scared


    that he might be a kidnapped. "Fimile jare." Thedy runs off, Richard sees a newspaper on the floor


    and picks it up to look at the location, he sees his in Abuja and screams. "I''ve never gotten this far with


    my powers, from Lagos to Abuja." Richard talks to himself, Richard wasn''t nning to head back to


    Lagos he had no family apart from his Mom or even friends apart from the other mafia children he


    didn''t n to visit the doctor cause he knew he''ll put him in a lot of trouble but even if he wanted to go


    back to Lagos he couldn''t cause his power weren''t working. "Come on, at least get me out of this


    forest." Richard walks around the road with no family, no phone, no money and no way back home.


    Two monthster, Richard doesn''t stop drinking and smoking his condition has gotten quite worse


    since he had on where to stay. Most times he ends up sleeping on the ground of the street or


    upleted buildings he used his clothes to cover his body and at one point he had to start wearing


    rags. One particr morning Richard sleeps off outside in front of Papa''s house, Papa and Ayoe


    out of the house starting at him Ayo is particrly disgusted by the way Ayo sleeps cause he snores.


    "Should I carry him out of here?" Ayo says, Papa feels pity for Richard. "Bring him in, he probably


    doesn''t have a ce to stay."


    A hourter, Richard wakes up and finds himself on afy chair unlike other days he woke up


    peacefully, he looks around and finds Papa starring at him from behind.


    "Who are you?" Richard quickly gets up, Papa sits down on the chair.


    "I saw you sleeping in front of my house and I thought that you might need help." Papa talks gently and


    folds his arm, Richard is dizzy cause of the drinks he drank yesterday.


    "I don''t know what you think........" Richard throws up on the floor before he could finish his statement,


    Papa stands up.


    "Stay and heal, go and meet Ayo you''ll probably find him intriguing." He points to the kitchen, after few


    minutes Richard knows he has no ce to stay and Papa is actually kind to him he thinks of staying,


    he goes to the kitchen and sees Ayo cleaning the dishes. He isn''t shocked about Ayo looks he had


    seen worst during his time.


    "So you''re some kind of robot?" Richard says and chuckles, Ayo turns around to confirm who was


    talking he sees it''s Richard and sighs.


    "You look terrible." Richard didn''t bother to look at his body, he hadihad a shower for a very long time


    and he wasn''t even bothered. "What is this ce?" Ayo drops the dishes and cleans his hand hand. "I


    guess for people like us to heal."


    4monthster, Richard settles in Papa''s house and has a very strong brotherly friendship with Ayo.


    Papa always referred to Ayo as the elder brother while Richard as the younger one, due to Richard


    multiple training whole he was growing up he helped Ayo with his powers. One night they are both


    do you know so much about this?" Ayo ask, Richardughs out loud. "My parents." Ayo hits Richard


    hand. "Aren''t you lucky?" Richard sighs and starts talking about everything he had gone through to


    Ayo, he never told Papa about this Ayo was the first and Richard feltfortable about it, he knew Ayo


    actually cared about him and would actually protect and watch over him. Richard was happy and he


    never had any n to go back to Mariam but he wondered why she hasn''t sent a search team to look


    for him.

 Chapter 9: GBOYEGA

    Chapter 9: GBOYEGA


    Gboyega wakes up after having a terrible dream, he stands up from his bed and starts packing his


    clothes taking it to his traveling box. Gboyega has had enough of everything and nned to leave very


    early. He stares at his hand with fear.


    "This hands have done some really terrible things."


    In 1999, Gboyega is in school with his male friend. They both are working on a maths assignment


    together, Gboyega isn''t quite understanding it.


    "This maths is really confusing." Gboyega says uses his pencil to itch his head, his friend puts his hand


    around his neck.


    "Don''t worry, we''ll get it." His friend gently pats him, a group of bullies gather around them, they pushed


    Gboyega around the ssroom. Gboyega was always the one mocked in ss, he had issues with


    catching up with others in the subjects they were taught, he went to a prestigious school cause his


    parents were well known politician so unlike the other students who were brought up to be perfect


    Gboyega couldn''t fit in, he couldn''t catch up with the lifestyle.


    "Awon ode." One of the bully mocks Gboyega in Yoruba.


    "Just forget about them." His friend tells him.


    "Yeah, listen to your son Gboyega." The bullies end up attacking Gboyega''s friend for defending him,


    they''ve always warned him to stay away from Gboyega but he never listened, Gboyega gets triggered


    by this and this event activates his powers. A wave of fire unleashes out of Gboyega''s body burning


    down the whole ssroom and his ssmates, he was confused he had never felt such powerful


    energy in him before he never meant to hurt his mates. They all stare at him in pain, blood flows down


    from most of them and even his friend his frightened by what just happened.


    The next day, with the power of Gboyega''s parent and his age, he is kept in a hospital meant for


    Supernaturals. His Mom Tayo a fair woman and his father mide a dark skinned man questions the


    doctor about their child.


    "What''s wrong with our son?" Tayo gets very concerned, the doctor brings out a file of Gboyega''s body


    scan.


    "Turns out your son is a Supernatural." The doctor shows them the file, mide throws the file on the


    floor already pissed and confused.


    "Bullshit, I and my wife aren''t Supernaturals so it can''t be possible for my son to be one." mide says


    angrily, the doctor stands up and picks up the file.


    "Some just get it naturally and I''m afraid that unlike other people your son is a outcast." He says firmly,


    Tayo rolls on the ground of the doctor''s office and tears rolled down from her eyes, she knew what the


    doctor meant while mide was confused cause he didn''t mingle with others unlike his wife.


    "What''s an outcast?" mide gets really scared due to his wife behavior.


    "Outcast are people with very dangerous powers, he''ll need months of training to master his powers."


    The doctor says, mide and Tayo felt threatened by what the doctor said, they were politicians and


    had to maintain a high standard life both didn''t really have a issue with Gboyega being a Supernatural


    but had a issue with his uncontroble powers, they couldn''t risk their reputation.


    That night, after their discussion with the doctor they both quickly take Gboyega to his room."You must


    note out of here without our permission Gboyega." mide voice raises as he talks, Gboyega


    doesn''t know what is going on.


    "Did I do something wrong dad?" Gboyega tries to move to his parents but they push him aside.


    "You''re a curse to everyone son, I''m sorry you have to hear this." Tayo says this without sympathy, they


    didn''t care about him but rather about their poprity. They run out of the room and lock him inside.


    By 2001, Gboyega had already adapted to his new life. He was never allowed toe out of his room,


    the maid would alwayse to his room and serve him his meal, he was truly a outcast. One early


    morning, it was Christmas day and all of Gboyega''s Unclea, aunties and cousins had arrived to


    celebrate the festive season, Gboyega stares at them through his window wishing to be with them, he


    touches the window and it starts melting.


    "No!" He notices this and runs back to his bed. Tayo walks in with a te of rice and chicken, she


    hadn''t seen him for almost all the part of the year.


    "You should be happy I''m checking on you, a very good Christmas gift." She drops his rice on his bed


    and quickly steps back.


    "I want toe out and see everyone mom, I miss my brother Tomi and all my cousins are down there.


    I promise not to burn anything." Gboyega pleads and his voice shakens, he was tired of being kept like


    an animal for once in his life he wanted to be around people.


    "You''ll kill everyone Gboyega, I''m sorry to say this but you''re not just going to be ready toe out of


    here." She turns around immediately she finished talking and walks out not a ounce of sympathy and


    love came out from her.


    In 2009, Gboyega sits on his bed and recites a statement.


    "I''m not good for the world, I''m not good for the world, I''m not good for the world............" Gboyega


    always said this anytime he felt he was tired of being locked up, he wanted to get out of his room but


    didn''t want to hurt anyone the memory of him burning down his school keeps on haunting him. He


    sighs and a wave of firees out of his mouth, his powers were getting stronger day by day and he


    had no idea on how to handle it his parents had invited different therapist to help him but it didn''t work.


    His whole room starts melting down which also melts the room door, scared Gboyega runs out of his


    room to alert his parents.


    mide and Tayo are both sitting on a chair thinking on how to handle Gboyega''s situation.


    "I know this ce meant for worthless souls like Gboyega, he could go there and we could be free from


    him." mide says, they were already tired of Gboyega, he felt like a burden to them and bad publicity,


    they''ve both been asked alot of times by the press about their first son and his sudden disappearance


    but they''ll bothe up with excuses to cover it up.


    "Good idea, we''ve tried out best for him. If we tell him to just leave our house he might try and ruin our


    reputation." Tayo responds, unknown to them Gboyega had been listening to both of them hiding, he


    never knew his parents didn''t care about him he always thought they were protecting him and others


    from harm this wasn''t about him it was about them. His hands start heating up anda cyclone of fire


    surrounds his body, he felt a powerful rage in him bursting out he had to release the energy he couldn''t


    bottle it. After a few seconds of sudden silence, the whole house explodes into bits, Gboyega walks out

    of the room unharmed and runs away before he could get caught.

 Chapter 10: NGOZI

    Chapter 10: NGOZI


    Two yearster, Ngozi is on her way to school she felt very troubled cause she just moved to another


    school, no one ever liked her at her former they would always call her "Igbo dumb girl" cause she was


    one of the few Igbo in her school. Ngozi uniform was ironed and she hoped for the best as a normal kid


    would, she goes to the back seat and settles there, no one was seating beside her until three other girls


    sitting in the front walk up to her. Ngozi stared at them in admiration, they wore essories with their


    uniforms.


    "Are you okay?" The ck skinned girl in the middle talks very calmly and concerned. Ngozi stammers


    a bit, she felt unsecured she only wore her green and white uniform with a typical ck sandal.


    "I''m fine." She gulps, the girl standing on the left grabs Ngozi hand and drags her out of her chair.


    "Thene and sit with us in the front." The girl says, Ngozi nervously chuckles and was feeling a bit


    better, she brought out her amulet she was keeping in her pocket and wears it around her neck.


    Getting to school, Ngozi goes to sit beside the girls they made sure to take her with them anywhere she


    goes so she won''t feel alone, they genuinely cared about her. After settling in the ssroom, a young


    light skinned boy called Chris walks in and sits beside Ngozi, he admired her amulet and tries to touch


    it.


    "Your amulet is nice." He says as he moves his hand close to the amulet, Ngozi hits his hand with hers


    and tells him to back off.


    "That''s not nice at all." Ngozi says, they both shake hands.


    "I''m Chris." He smiles. Ngozi chuckles happy she is already making friends.


    "I''m Ngozi."


    Ngozi, Chris and the girls suddenly became a group, they did everything together and everyone knew


    them. Ngozi knew more about herself as she continued hanging out with them, she joined a female


    football team and participated in other sports. She lived her fullest life and have never felt this kind of


    happiness in her life.

    Two yearster, one particr day Ngozi gets back from school exicted she passed her maths test


    while most didn''t do well. She walks into a 3bedroom bungalow house, her father Samson a huge man


    sits on a chair watching tv.


    "Good afternoon Dad." She greets him, Ngozi didn''t bother to show him her test score he never


    actually cared or bothered to ask they both weren''t close, when Ngozi was given birth to she didn''t live


    with him rather she was with Adanna. Samson said he never had time to take care of anyone and he


    was always busy but now that Adanna is dead he has to take responsibility.


    "How was school?" Samson''s voice was very deep, Ngozi is shocked by his question hehad never


    asked her before.


    "It was fine." She quickly responds hoping to finally have a conversation with him.


    "Why don''t I help you with your uniform?" Samson stands up and moves behind Ngozi, he grabbed her


    around her waist and puts his body closer to her back.


    "Don''t tell anyone dear." He says quietly, he puts his hand around her neck and starts choking her,


    Ngozi is confused about what''s going on and a flood of tears rushed down from her eyes. She had no


    one to call to help her all she could do was keep quiet.


    The next morning, Ngozi is a mess her hair isn''t done, he uniform is rough and dirty. She runs to the


    back seat, her friends quickly run towards her tofort her.


    "Is everything okay Ngozi?" One of them says, she stares at them without answering all she could see


    was her father''s face, sheshes out at them.


    "Leave me alone!" Ngozi yelled, the girls quickly run off not to cause a scene. She couldn''t trust


    anyone, if her own Father could have done such terrible thing to her what could other people do?


    For weeks Samson does the same thing to Ngozi without feeling any guilt, most times when he is done


    with he''ll always tell her that. "If I''m going to be taking care of you then I can do anything that I want


    with you." He wouldn''t stop and he''ll always tell her to learn new styles even though she couldn''t grasp


    what he meant. One night after Samson is done with Ngozi, she goes into a state of shock she couldn''t


    move her body and tears were flooding down from her eyes. She wished she had a good father who


    would be there for here and take care of her that was her only wish at that present moment. Her amulet


    suddenly starts glowing, a wave of wind hits her clearing her wet eyes and face, a white baby gori is


    suddenly standing in front of her.


    "You summouned me." He says and bows down to her, Ngozi opens her mouth wide she was about to


    shout at first but felt it was best she didn''t alert Samson.


    "Who are you?" Ngozi wasn''t scared of the gori rather she felt it was amazing.


    "I''m your friend and let me just tell you that I''ll always be there for you." The gori says, Ngozi sits on


    the floor and the gori sits beside her, she chuckles and after a very long time never felt alone.

    Chapter 11: TOLU


    You can''t just walk away." Balogun tries to reason with her but Tife has had enough already.


    "I can''t take this anymore Balogun, I''ll make sure I check on Tolu." She says, walks away and leaves


    the house, Tolues out of hiding and runs to Balogun.


    "What happened daddy?" Tolu worries but still doesn''t know what''s going on, Balogun carries her.


    "Your mom will be back but I''ll need you to stay with your grandma for the meantime."


    Years passed and Tife never showed up, Tolu never gave up on hope she was always optimistic even


    at her young age. Most times she''ll sit on a couch facing the front door just waiting for her mom to show


    up and settle back in with her father but has the years continue to pass Tife never showed up, one


    night Tolu sits down waiting again for her mom but she still didn''t show up this wasn''t like other days


    this was Tolu''s birthday and even though Tife never showed up during her birthday she still had hope


    but she was growing older and it was time for her to ept the truth that her mother will never show uo


    part of her felt Tife was involved in a car ident cause she wasn''t ready to admit to herself that her


    mom might never show up.

    shocking! It was a poster of Tife her mom selling hair products this proves that Tife wasn''t dead and


    was alive. Tolu runs to the bathroom and cries, her eyes were blurry she had made up a story in her


    head that her mom died but seeing this proves her mom didn''t just care and bother to look for her. She


    only had her father.


    In 2005, Tolu is on her way to the police academy this marked one of the greatest days of her life. She


    had always admired her father and wanted to be just like him, he was her role model and was so happy


    he was proud of her, they both walk around the street.


    "You need to be careful as you''re going to the academy, you''re the only Supernatural there." He


    cautious her, Tolu isn''t scared she had been preparing for this. Her and Balogun would always train she


    knew she was ready and was confident.


    "I can take care of myself dad, you know that." Balogun knew she could but he wasn''t talking about


    fighting alone.


    "Just be careful, it gets dangerous and most times you''re going to feel used but it always gets better."


    Balogun gently says.


    In the present, Ayo is still digging for clues until he stumbles to a folder. He checks it out and sees a


    picture of Papa dancing with Bryan from the organization.


    A young woman appears in Richard''s room and speaks.


    "Your mom wants to see you today." She fades away.


    Ayo gets a text message from a distant friend which says. "She''s on her way, where should she meet


    you."


    I''m a shback, Oloogun is meditating in the middle of a forest Papa suddenly walks up to him. Tired of


    Papa''s shenanigans Oloogun talks.


    "What do you want?" He sighs, they both had a love and hate rtionship with the way they rted,


    Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    Papa kneels down in front of Oloogun.


    "Long life but not for me this time but for someone else."

    a price."

    Chapter 12: HOME SWEET HOME


    Ngozi walks down the stairs with Daisy, Daisy was worried about Ngozi mental state. "You need our


    help." Daisy pleads to Ngozi.


    "I''m fine, you don''t have to bother yourself." Ngozi lies, she just wanted to be left alone.


    "I''ll get help." Daisy says and vanishes back inside the amulet. Ngozi rolls her eyes, Daisy had been


    disturbing her all morning, she walks down to the kitchen to make coffee but surprisingly she meets


    Gboyega already making it.


    "You''re up early." Ngozi said.


    "I was nning on leaving then I figured out my step daughter wasing to visit." Gboyega says and


    walks out of the kitchen not wanting to have any conversation with Ngozi, they both had a issue in the


    past.

    "Sorry but what I want to do might help us fine Papa, you guys can''te cause it''s a one person


    mission." Ayo says firmly.


    "I''m going to see my mom." Richard said as he faces his head down.


    "Good for you, say hi to her for me." Ayo chuckles and walks out of the house, Richard was confused


    he had told Ayo about his past more than anyone in this house even Gboyega knew that Richard going


    to see his mother was going to be hard for me.


    "Hey, it''s going to be fine." Gboyega pats Richard on his shoulder, Richard exhales out deeply and


    walks out of the house to go and confront his mother.


    "They''re forcing me out!" Ngozi cries out as Huffcupp, Daisy, Blitz and her dog lift her to take her to the


    park. Gboyega and Tolu stared at each other awkwardly, they''re confrontationst night made Tolu


    dislike him.

    "I''m heading off to a bank to im some money my father left me." Tolu says gently and walks out,


    minutester a car parks right in front of Papa house. Gboyega knew it was he''s step daughter, he


    exhaled out deeply thinking of what to do or say to this young girl, he had never had a good


    rtionship with kids.


    "I can do this." Gboyega says to himself as he gently touches the house window staring at the car.


    A hourter, Richard slowly gets down from a bus he could have easily teleported to his mother''s ce


    but had no idea what she wanted to tell him or what he''ll say to her. "Poor child." Richard says as he


    sees a little boy begging for money, he walks toward the boy and smiled, he then quickly dipped his


    hand into his pocket and drops different notes of money, the young boy smiled and ran off. Richard had


    a thing for helping people, this gave him a little relief. Mnutester after walking slowly for awhile,


    Richard stood in front of a big mansion, it was the biggest house in that area. Richard gulps his saliva,


    he turns around not wanting to go in but a guardes out of the mansion then quickly grabs Richard


    hand.


    "She''s waiting for you." He said firmly, Richard doesn''t make any attempt of escaping and gently


    follows the man, they both go in and the outside of the mansion is filled with trees and different


    dresses, sitting at the center of the ce is Mariam wearing a long white gown with heavy essories.


    "Richard." Mariam gently whispers, she snaps her finger and the guard drags a chair to Richard for him


    to sit.


    "Mom." Richard says as he gently sits down.


    "How did you do it son? You hid away from everyone, I sent men to find you, I used trackers but I


    couldn''t reach. I need answers." She said aggressively, she wears a white glove and picks up a cup of


    tea on the table and zips from it, Richard hated her but he admired the way she carried herself.


    "I don''t have any idea of what you''re talking about, I just ran away and was quite surprised you didn''t


    find me." He says gently.


    "Yes even after you called for money I couldn''t still get you, anyways I have other things to talk about


    with you. I''ll be hosting a party in the next three days and I want the viins to meet the new heir of my


    empire." Mariam smiled manically, she knew that Richard was still scared of her cause of the way he


    looked.


    "I won''t be attending any party, I''m sorry." Said Richard.


    "Son, when I killed your father........" Richard quickly interrupts her.


    "You have the guts to tell me that your killed my father." Richard stood up from his chair.


    "Sit down." She said in a very menacing tone, Richard looked into her eyes and all he could see was a


    raging woman, she could kill him right now so he gently obeyed her.


    "I am your mother and you would do what I want you to do and never raise your voice at me." She says


    and bangs the table.


    Richard still sitting on the chair waiting for Mariam to show up after so many hours, she left to get the


    clothes she got him for the event. A man wearing ab coat passes Richard side, the man looked


    familiar after minutes of staring Richard quickly recognized who it was.


    "Doctor Bode." Richard says as he stands up from his chair, it was the doctor that took care of Richard


    while he was still a child. "It''s me Richard!" Richard says andughs out loud, he streches both his


    hands and hugs Bode.


    "It''s been years Richard, I tried looking for you when you left but I couldn''t find you." Bode said, when


    Richard ran away Bode was quite worried, he joined Mariam search party to look for him when they


    couldn''t find him heter went to investigate by himself, after month of not getting to him Bodeter


    gave up.


    "I''m back, how''s everything? Be snappy about it." Richard says.


    "Well I''m still Mariam doctor cause of the cash and let me tell you something, I''m a happy man I got


    better. I have a wife and kids, life is going great. What about you?" Bode asked, Richard couldn''t


    answer the question, he thought to himself what has he achieve since he left his home, he couldn''t


    remember seeing Bode made him a little bit sad, feeling he had wasted most part of his life.


    "It''s good, I''m happy too." Richard lied.


    "We need to catch up." Bode says.


    "That will beter boys, I''m still seeing my son." Mariam says as she majestically walks back to her


    chair while holding a suit.


    "No problem Ma." Bode runs off to wait for Mariam inside.


    "I got you your suit son." She says and drops it on the table, Richard takes a nce at it and pushes it


    aside.


    "Mom, what if I want to do something different?" Richard said gently.


    "And what do you want to do?" She asked sarcastically.


    "I don''t know, maybe together we can figure it out." Richard tried holding her hand but she pushes him


    disgusted by what he said.


    "Don''t you ever think, you left me for more than ten years then one day out of nowhere you called my


    line asking for money. Richard I''m sorry to say this to you but you''re a disaster, you can''t do anything


    by yourself all you do is be a mess." She said aggressively.


    "Mom......" Tears filled Richard eyes, he regretted telling her he''s n.


    "When you called and said it was you, I was expecting some great news but all you did was asked for


    money. Don''t you have shame? I''m trying to make a name for you and if that''s by our being a criminal


    then so be it." She said boldly.

    Ngozi arrives at the park with her imaginary friends, she runs off to get tickets for then while they all


    wait for her, Blitz in particr is freaked out ayoubout being around people he only gets summouned


    when Ngozi has a electrical issue so being around alot of people in a park made it really awkward for


    him.


    "Do you think the people are afraid of us?" Blitz says and stands beside Huffcupp.


    C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    "No, weirder things happen here. Just calm do." Huffcupp says. Ngozi gets back to them with the ticket.


    "Okay, let''s do this." Ngozi says exicted, she hadn''t hanged out like this with her imaginary friends for a


    very long time, they all run through all the amenities in the parks like the rollercoaster, the swing and so


    on.


    "I''ll be right back." Ngozi says as she breathes heavily, she was tired. She goes to smoothie line, Daisy


    flies towards her.


    "I hope you''re having fun?" Daisy asked?


    "Yeah, my life it''s not always like this. Thanks so much Daisy." Ngozi says and gently puts her hand


    around a tiny Daisy, a man wearing rags slowly walks toward Ngozi and touches her shoulder.


    "Fuck!" Ngozi turns around and she gets triggered looking at the person. "Leave me alone!" Ngozi


    shouts at the top of her voice, the man stutters trying to exin but a lightning from nowhere suddenly


    strikes the man knocking him down. It was Blitz, him and the other imaginary friends quickly runs


    toward her to check if she was okay.


    "Don''t bother, I just want to be alone." Ngozi says and runs off.


    "What do we do now?" Blitz asked, they should have gone back inside the amulet but Ngozi probably


    forgot to summon them back, they all stand wandering what they could do. A short girl with frog hands


    walk toward Blitz admiring his look.


    "Hello." She says swiftly.


    "Hmm...... I......." Blitz stutters, he had never have a normal conversation with someone other than


    Ngozi.


    "It''s okay." She says, grabs his hand and they both walk towards the rollercoaster. Daisy stares at


    Ngozi sitting all alone on a chair.


    "Ngozi is sad again, I need to try and cheer her up." Daisy flies toward Ngozi leaving Huffcupp and the


    dog all by themselves.


    "I just want to be alone Daisy." Ngozi says firmly as she sees Daisying towards her, Daisy tries


    tickling but still Ngozi refused to cheer up.


    "I know you''re trying your best but you can''t understand what I''m going through." Ngozi says gently,


    Daisy flies off leaving Ngozi all by herself. She thought of who she could talk to, Tina was her only


    option.


    "Too bad I can''t.......... Maybe I can." Ngozi said to herself, unlike her other imaginary friends Tina


    doesn''t obeymand. She squeezes her amulet and begged.


    "Please,e out." Ngozi pleads, a sudden ck mist surrounds her. Ngozi couldn''t see anything after


    awhile the mist clears off and sitting beside her is Tina.


    "You called me." Tina voice sounded so deep.


    "So what do we do?" Ngozi asked Tina, they''ve both been looking at each other.


    "Nothing! Nothing you can do will cheer me up." Tina said firmly.


    "Well it helped me a little." Ngozi talks back, she was getting tired of Tina''s attitude.


    "You think hanging out in parks or ying with your baby friends can save you from what you faced as


    a child?" Tinaughed mockingly. "Pathetic."


    "What do you mean?" Ngozi asked.


    "What I''m trying to say is that you need to get over this whole act, you need to change the way you see


    things. We''re both broken, you keep these imaginary friends hoping that you could be free from what


    happened to you well it doesn''t work like that." Said Tina, Ngozi admired the way she talked.


    "That''s why I want to see you, you''re the only one who can understand what I''m going through." Ngozi


    pleads.


    "Then let''s go have some real fun." Tina says, she grabs Ngozi hand and takes off to the sky unlike


    Ngozi other imaginary friends who had one or possibly two powers, Tina had a bunch.


    "Where are we going?" Ngozi asked, she couldn''t trust Tina.


    "You''ll see." Tina says and gentlynds on the ground after flying for awhile, shends with Ngozi at a


    forest.


    "What are we doing here?" Ngozi gets scared stepping away from Tina.


    "Calm down, we came to take down the viruses of this world." Tina says and points to a tree, her and


    Ngozi move closer to the tree and hear ady crying for help as a man tries to sexually assault her.


    "How did you know........" Tina doesn''t allow Ngozi to finish talking as she quickly flies toward the man


    beating him up, Ngozi watches and a dark mist suddenly surrounds Ngozi she could feel the same


    emotion Tina was feeling, pain, sadness and anger. Tolu eyes quickly glowed in a ck colour and she


    smirked.


    "Don''t let me miss out on all the fun.* Ngozi says and runs to join Tina.


    Daisy notices Ngozi has left her sit and gets really worried.


    "Ngozi took off with Tina." She says to Huffcupp.


    "So?" Huffcupp responds, he sees no reason to be bothered.


    "We both know she''s dangerous." Daisy says and flies off to look for Ngozi.


    Blitz is on the rollercoaster ride with thedy, after a long time of having fun he stops and ns to head


    back to the others.


    "I need to go back to my friends." Blitz said.


    "Oh cool." Thedy says gently.


    "I didn''t get your name." Blitz gently asked.


    "Oh, it''s.........." Huffcupp, Daisy and the dog run towards Blitz.


    "Blitz!" Huffcupp growls at thedy, she runs off. "Ngozi is in danger, we need to find her." Huffcupp


    said breathing heavily.


    "Wait, can I just get the name......." Huffcupp interrupts Blitz.


    "There no time for that." He grabs Blitz hand.


    "So we can''t have our own lives, apart from being servants to Ngozi?" Blitz pushes Huffcupp hand.


    "We don''t have a life, better you ept that fact." Huffcupp says boldy.


    After minutes of running they all get to Ngozi, she and Tina are both sitting on the ground hosting and


    chuckling.


    "Guys, you''re here. Let''s go." Ngozi says and walks out of the forest with Tina, Huffcupp sensed


    something was wrong with her, he walks around the forest to investigate and sees a skeletonying on


    the floor.

 Chapter 14: SLIP & THE ORGANIZATION

    Chapter 14: SLIP & THE ORGANIZATION


    "This ce brings back a lot of bad memories." Ayo says to himself as he stands before the building


    the he was turned into a robot, the ce was shut down and nobody was operating there. Ayo slowly


    walks in hoping he''ll find some answers.


    In a shback, Ayo is at a supermarket shopping for foods to buy. He picked up a bar of marshmallow


    and talks to himself.


    "How do you feel about this? You said you liked itst time we ate it." Ayo says to himself, a disoriented


    voice of Slipes out of his head.


    "I don''t want it, I don''t like it anymore." Slip says, Ayo quickly drops it following Slip order. He had been


    like thattely, since he had left Papa''s house all he did was follow Slip''s order.


    "Fine." Ayo says and moves his shopping cart to the paying section, he stands there for over thirty


    minutes the line was quite long. All of a sudden a man wearing a ck mask walks in with a gun.


    "Everyone put your head down!" The man shouts at the top of the voice as he raises his gun in the


    ceiling, the people in the supermarket all scream, they follow his orders and bow down. Ayo slowly


    obeys the man, Slip does a scan of everyone in the supermarket.


    "None of them are supernaturals, you have to help them." Slip says, Ayo grunts he had no ns of


    saving anyone today but he just had to do it.


    "Stop!" Ayo gently says as he gets up majestically.


    "Go back!" The man says, he points his gun on Ayo hoping to scare him. Ayo moves closer to the man,


    Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    grabs the gun and squeezes it till it breaks.


    "Please, don''t hurt me. I just need some food for my mom." The man says as he''s voice breaks down,


    he was scared. At first Ayo wanted to hurt him but looking at him now he decided to stop.


    "I don''t think we should hurt him." Ayo says to Slip.


    "Stop talking like that, there are different other possibilities that this man can end up being a criminal."


    Slip says.


    "But.........." Ayo grunts and turns around.


    "I''ve never been wrong Ayo, listen to me." Slip says.


    "Fine." Ayo squeezes his face, turns around and grabs the man neck.


    Ayo walks out of the supermarket with blood stains on his robotic hand,he regretted his action but felt


    Slip knew what was best, he was holding a bag of foods with his other hand.


    "We should have at least paid." Ayo said slowly, disappointed about what he did.


    "We saved their life, the least we can do is get rewarded." Slipughs out loud, Ayo thinks about the


    man that he killed and particrly the mother of the man the guy mentioned earlier. He identally


    bumps in with ady.


    "I''m so sorry." Says thedy, she goes to pick up the groceries of Ayo that feel.


    "It''s no problem." Ayo says.


    "Yeah." She gently raises her head up and gives Ayo his groceries. "I''m Linda." She says and streches


    her hand for a handshake.


    Ayo gets inside the building, the whole ced looked abandoned. They were different human body


    partsying on the floor, one thing Ayo was happy about was that the ce wasn''t functioning he then


    sees the back of a man sitting on a wheelchair and two other men standing beside him, Ayo silently


    walks toward them.


    "I can see you Ayo." The men standing beside this man turn his wheelchair around, facing Ayo was a


    old bald white man. "It''s good to see you again, it''s me Bryan."


    In a shback, after Ayo and Lucy met they both talked for awhile andter on hooked up in Ayo''s


    house.


    "Tonight was amazing." Lucy groans softly as she stands up from the bed.


    "Want to go for more?" Ayo says swiftly moving closer to the bed, he gently grabs her hand. He


    enjoyed spending time with her.


    "I wish but I have to go to work very early." She pushes his hand and majestically walks to the


    bathroom, Ayo sighs in relief it''s been awhile since Ayo had experienced having good sex without


    worrying about how he looked, Slip who is connected to Ayo''s body sensation also enjoyed it but


    wanted more.


    "You''re not satisfied." Slip says.


    "I''m good, you don''t need to bother yourself." Ayo says swiftly.


    "If you want more then take it from her, you clearly have the upper hand." Slip says in a very menacing


    tone.


    "I don''t know how things work from where you came from but what you''re telling me to do is called rape


    and I don''t do that." Ayo says angrily, getting disgusted by having this conversation with Slip.


    "I have the power to take what I want and I want more." Slip says aggressively, suddenly Ayo body


    shots down and he sleeps off, minutester he wakes up and is looking at all his body parts very


    distinctively.


    "I''ve studied you for a very long time boy, I can take control." Slip says and exhales out deeply, Linda


    walks out of the bathroom.


    "I need to go." She says and moves to her clothes, Slip quickly jumps out of the bed.


    "I want more!" Slip says boldly in a verymanding tone.


    "Excuse me." Linda says disgusted, she tries moving back slowly


    "Don''t y games with me." Slip says, he grabs her hand with his robotic arm and squeezes it, she


    cries out in pain he then pushes her to the bed.


    "This will be quick." He says and holds her neck very tight.


    "I need to gather some information from you." Ayo says swiftly to Bryan, he''s heart was filled with anger


    and he wanted to end Bryan but resisted.


    "About the man that adopted you?" Bryan says andughs mockingly.


    "What about him?" Ayo moved closer to Bryan.


    "Why don''t we talk about you for awhile Ayo, how''s that voice in your head?" Bryan asked.


    "That''s none of your business." Says Ayo as he steps back a bit.


    "I know a little about Slip, how he is a terrible being to work with. How many terrible things did you do


    Ayo?" Bryan gently talks, he figured out Ayo deactivated his powers cause his robot eye wasn''t


    glowing.


    "You''ve done terrible things to." Ayo talks back.


    "At least I ept you, you keep on putting the me on something that doesn''t have control." Bryan


    says, Ayo with dashing speed grabs Bryan clothes, she stretched his robotic hand.


    "I will end you." Bryan says slowly, Bryan not sure if Ayo was bluffing starts talking quickly.


    "Papa worked here for us, we had anticipated your escape and told him to find you and make sure you


    trust him. After a month Papa and you suddenly want off our radar, we couldn''t find him." Bryan says.


    "I don''t believe you." Ayo says and let''s go of Bryan clothes.


    "I have proof." Bryan says and leads Ayo to a office.

    Chapter 15: FATHER TIME


    Gboyega sits on a dinning chair facing his teenage step daughter Linda, they both hadn''t really said


    anything to each other except for the appropriate greeting, Gboyega had no idea what he wanted to


    say to her.


    "So what''s your job?" Linda asked.


    "I sell cars, what about you?" Gboyega responded, he quickly realized that he asked a stupid question


    what could possibly be the job of a sixteen years old.


    "I''m a student, I mentioned that earlier." Linda says, she wasn''t enjoying her stay. She thought her step


    father was going to be a wild and fun person.


    "Sorry, I''m not really good with people socially." Gboyega says.


    "I see that." Linda responds, she stands up from her chair. "I''ll be going outside." Linda runs off.


    "What do I do?" Gboyega said to himself, he thought of just leaving her to be by herself but knew it was


    stupid, he had promised to Gbemi that whenever Linda wasing that he was going to be a good


    father to her. He runs off to Papa office to see if he could find anything that could help him.


    "I''m messing up." Gboyega says to himself, he sees a children book and without hesitation grabs it at


    first he wondered what a children book was doing in Papa''s office but what was written in the book was


    good, it had different methods on helping parents to interact with their supernatural children, Gboyega


    drags a chair and sits, he quickly goes through the chapters.


    "I got this." Gboyega breathes out as he leaves the house, he moves toward Linda who''s sitting on the


    grass all by herself, he sits beside her.


    "I''m sorry for what happened." Ayo says, he had memorized everything written in the book and one of


    the rules was to apologize.


    "Yeah." Linda responds quietly.


    "Hey, tell me more about yourself, what are your powers?" Gboyega says as he touches her shoulder.


    "I have light powers just like my mom but I don''t use it, my aunt told me that my mom never used her


    powers too." Tolu says, she never got to know much about Gbemi, Gboyega at first wanted to correct


    her by telling her the truth but he also didn''t want to go on having a conversation with Linda.


    "Tell me more."Gboyega says.


    "Well, the first time I used................." Linda goes on but Gboyega doesn''t listen, his thoughts went to


    Gbemi.


    In a shback, Gboyega tells Gbemi about his past as she uses her powers to heal his burnt hand.


    "So I ran away cause I was scared obviously, I spent months from house to house but one day I helped

    a guy called Richard and he took me to this man''s house for people............. Like me, I don''t know how


    to exin, it''s still kind of weird." Gboyega says swiftly.


    "I''m so sorry to hear that Gboyega." Gbemi softly says, she let''s go of his hand after healing the


    wounds.


    "They treated me like a monster, like I was some kind of disease." Gboyega voice shakens as drops of


    tears roll down from his eyes, Gbemi gently used her hand to wipe his tears away.


    "You''re not a bad person, you''re just misunderstood." She says and grabs his hand.


    "Can you hear me?!" Linda yells as she looks at Gboyega who hasn''t been paying attention to anything


    she had been saying, he quickly faces her.


    "I''m sorry, I was in a dark ce." Gboyega says hoping not to ruin the moment.


    "Wow." Linda says disappointed and walks out.

 Chapter 16: JUST A NORMAL DAY OF A OFFICER

    Chapter 16: JUST A NORMAL DAY OF A OFFICER


    "Come on." Tolu says as she stands in a line at the bank, she had been there for a lot of hours and was


    getting tired. Tolu could have been attended to very early but people kept on taking her space in the


    line and she allowed them willingly, she had a habit of putting others before herself no matter what.


    "Hmm, can I cut?" Thedy behind Tolu asked, she had noticed the way Tolu has been behaving.


    "I''m sorry but I''ve been waiting at the line for quite sometime now." Tolu says.


    "Ohh, I just need to go and pick my daughter from school." Thedy says, Tolu breathes out, rolls her


    eyes and allows the woman to stay in her line. A hourter it''s finally Tolu turn but she''s referred to


    another section in the bank and is given a number.


    "I need to get out of here." Tolu says as she sits on a chair, she brings out her phone to check the


    online profile page of a person, after searching she finally gets to the profile and it''s her mom, Tife was


    still sessful and was still doing very well, she got married to another man and had been living her


    best life.


    "The bad ones always get lucky." Tolu said as she turns off her phone, she despised her mother not for


    leaving her father, she understood why her mom left but was upset that Tife never made any attempts


    to find her. She felt worthless and useless knowing her own mother never cared about her, the bank


    Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    was getting crowded with more and more people so Tolu runs off outside to get some fresh air, after


    minutes of standing she sees ady on the street standing really scared, there were blood stains on


    her clothes. Seeing on one attending to her Tolu quickly runs toward thedy.


    "Is everything fine Ma?" She asked, thedy didn''t respond rather she took her face away from Tolu.


    "I''m a officer, you can tell me anything." Tolu gently says as she brings out her badge.


    "There are some thugs in my street, they''ve been harassing we the people that live around that ce.


    We called the station for help but no one came to help us, we can''t even leave our homes without being


    scared." Thedy sniffs, tears rolled down from her eyes. Tolu brought out her phone to call Deji but


    after thinking she puts it back in her pocket.


    "Take me there." Tolu says boldy hoping she could finish up there and still get back to the bank on time.


    Tolu and thedy hide behind a bush in a park waiting for the thugs to show up.


    "Thank you foring to help, most officers ignored our call for help." Thedy says.


    "Well, lucky for you I''m not most officers." Tolu says and smiles, after waiting for very long hours, three


    men wearing a ck shirt show up at the center of the park.


    "There they are." Thedy says and runs off scared, Tolu gulps and gently walks toward the thugs


    hoping to reason with them.


    "Boys, I know we all like to have fun and do crazy things with our powers..................." The thugs didn''t


    wait for Tolu to finish talking, without hesitation they suddenly gather around her and start beating her,


    Toluys on the floor defenseless and thinking of what to do, she thought of her father and the many


    advises he had given her.


    "If they attack all at once then they are probably weak." A disoriented voice of Balogun echoed towards


    her ear. They were shattered ss bottles around the park, she slowly picks one up and stabs the leg


    of one of the thugs, the thugs get scared and quickly move behind.


    "Try me!" She yells and gets up, two of the thugs flee from the scene.


    "You better run along with your crew." Tolu says thest thug, the thugughs sarcastically and


    stretches his hand which suddenly turns elongated, he grabs Tolu''s neck and pushes her to a tree.


    "Shit." Tolu struggles to get his hand off her neck, he tightens hand and Tolu gasp finding it hard to


    breathe.


    "I can do this." She says to herself, the ss bottle had dropped from her hand but she quickly


    remembers that she always keeps a pocket knife in her pocket, she gently grabs it from her pocket and


    stabs the thug''s hand continuously, blood spills out from the thug''s hand and he let''s her go as he cries


    out in pain.


    "Bravo." Essence says as he ps from behind sitting on a chair, Tolu quickly turns around.


    "I''ve seen your face before while going through some files, you''re Essence!" Tolu says, she quickly


    shifts back.


    "Stop trying to find Papa, you can''t defeat me different have tried, the Gok heroes from Gok house


    couldn''t even stop me." Essence says, hoping she''ll listen. Toku was quite surprised about the way


    Essence behaved, the others had described him as chaotic and insane but he looked gentle.


    "Let me help you, I can." Tolu says and gently sits besides him.


    "You can''t, Papa must pay for everything he has done to me." Essence says and snaps his fingers, the


    thug suddenly vanishes.


    "At least the readers got to see me after I''ve been missing for two chapters." Essence says,ughs and


    snaps his fingers, he suddenly vanishes.


    "Gok heroes." Tolu says to herself.


    That night, Ayo is in Richard''s room he had just told him everything that happened in The Organization.


    "How could Papa do that to me?" Ayo says.


    "My mom said............." Richard wanted to tell Ayo everything that happened to him too but Ayo


    interrupts.


    "I have to go." Ayo interrupts him as a thought came to his head, he quickly walks out of Richard''s


    room.


    "Typical." Richard says to himself.


    The next day very early, Oloogun and Abayo are in the middle of a forest getting ready to leave.


    "I can''t feel most of my powers again, The Trials are clearly using this to punish me." Oloogun says


    sadly, a sudden mist surrounds them and they find themselves in front of Papa''s house.


    "Let''s do this." Oloogun says angrily

 Chapter 17: GOK HOUSE

    Chapter 17: GOK HOUSE


    Ayo sits in Papa''s office, he had stayed up all night watching old tapes of him and Papa together. He


    brings out one particr one and ys it. In the tape Papa and Ayo are having a conversation:-


    "And what are the things this Slip is telling you?" Papa discusses with Ayo about the newfound being in


    Ayo''s head.


    "Telling me about the things I can do with my newfound body, it''s nice to have someone to talk to since


    no one else lives here." Ayo wasn''t colse with Papa by this time, he still didn''t trust him but was grateful


    that he was saved.


    "And what do you want to do?" Papa brings his chair closer to Ayo.


    "Honestly, I just want to feel normal again." Ayo voice cracked, he felt pain in his heart.


    "Just know that you can alwayse to me if you need someone to talk too." Papa grabs Ayo robotic


    hand, assuring him that everything is going to be fine


    "And those people that did this to me, are they dead?" Ayo says gently, still scared of the Organization.


    "I''ve checked again, those bad people will never hurt you again." Papa says and Ayo smiles happy that


    they are dead.


    Ayo removes the tape wondering that could Bryan had been messing with him, how could Pap have


    been using him? Papa took care of Ayo, he took him inand taught him alot. Ayo thought about the time


    he and the others were leaving Papa''s house, Papa wasn''t happy about it but he still supported them,


    Ayo couldn''t stop thinking of different theories, as Ayo is about to return the tape he sees another tape


    titled "Chong." Suspicious Ayo picks it up and ys it, in the tape Chong and Papa are talking in


    Papa''s office, Chong is acting very awkward:-


    "You need to calm down Chong." Papa tries to calm Chong down cause he is freaking out.


    "I don''t think I can handle it anymore Papa, it''s getting to me." Chong itches his body.


    "You''re going to be fine, I''ll figure something out." Papa talks quietly thinking about what to do. The tape


    ends, Ayo ys is again trying to see if he missed anything but it ends the same way.


    In the living room, Gboyega is with Oloogun and Abayo as he tries to exin to them that they have no


    idea where Papa is but Oloogun doesn''t believe and thinks this is one of Papa''s idea to not pay back


    for what Oloogun has done for him.


    "How many times do I have to exin this to you? Papa isn''t here, we don''t know where he is."


    Gboyega blocks Oloogun from going pass the living room.


    "You''re very lucky my powers are limited, I don''t believe what you''re saying. Papa probably told you to


    lie, I know him so well." Oloogun gets even more upset, this isn''t the first time Papa had deceive him he


    was even warned by the other Council members not to help Papa but he it didn''t feel right to him.


    "I''m tired of this just go check, I have a lot I''m going through right now." Gboyega steps aside, Oloogun


    funds downstairs to search for Papa he knew his way around Papa''s house. Ngozi goes downstairs


    with Huffcupp to check what the noise is all about, she had a different look today. All she wore today


    was in a ck colour.


    "What''s with all the noise? I''m trying to focus on myself today." Ngozi was also blunt, it felt like she was


    portraying a whole different personality. This really bothered Huffcupp knowing that Tina had something


    to do with this.


    "You''re extra dark today." Gboyega chuckles, Abayo just stands without interacting with them waiting


    for his father. He wanted to get out of here so badly, Richard teleports to the living room at first he was


    shocked by Ngozi new look.


    "Wow.........." He quickly stopped, he didn''t want to give Ngozi any sort of attention, he then faces


    Abayo.


    "Who are you?" Richard says as he brings out a cigarette, Abayo still doesn''t say anything but starts


    sweating heavily. Ngozi goes to the kitchen, Huffcupp drags Richard to a corner and talks to him


    quietly.


    "Listen, I know we don''t like each other but something is wrong with Ngozi and we both need to figure it


    out together." Huffcupp rushes as he fears that Ngozi might summoun him back inside the amulet.


    "I don''t want any problem with Ngozi anymore, I''ve tried my best with her. I wish I could help but I


    can''t." Richard says and as he''s about walk out, Huffcupp drags his hand.


    "She''s been through a lot." Huffcupp pleads.


    "Which is? I can''t help someone that won''t tell me anything Huffcupp, I have a lot I''m going through too


    and I feel it''s time I start worrying about myself a little bit." Richard walks out and goes back to


    Gboyega so he could get a exnation of why a lid is standing their living room. Tolu walks in sweating


    and breathing heavily.


    "I have good news for all of us." She says exicted ready to burst the news about meeting up with


    Essence, Ayo walks in and interrupts.


    "I have some news too but there''s some old witch doctor looking around for Papa. Now for the news,


    Papa had something to do with Chong''s death." Ayo says hoping the others will be shocked but they all


    feel he is delusional especially Tolu, Richard just didn''t care he seemed to be angry with Ayo.


    "Whatever, I met Essence." They a quickly steps back from Tolu, a ball of fire glows out of Gboyega


    hands


    "Stay away from us Essence." Gboyega voice raises higher.


    "I had a very mature conversation with him, he sounded normal and not like how you guys described


    him, he mentioned a ce called Gok house and I did a research I figured out that it''s a home for some


    N?velDrama.Org holds text ? rights.


    group of Superheroes back in the 80s.........." Richard interrupts Tolu knowing a lot about the history of


    the Gok heroes.


    "Those people were in the top, they were 7members and they took down so many powerful viins.


    They participated in bringing peace between the Humans and Supernaturals, they created a great


    legacy for themselves." Richard studied about different heroes back when he was still in his house to


    prepare him for anything, the team stare at him shocked about him actually contributing into something


    and not just drinking, smoking or doing drugs.


    "Well, we need to go there to get any clues. Maybe they can help us get Papa back." Tolu says sharply.


    "Wait, we still have a crazy herbalist and his son in our house and I need to tell my step.........." Richard


    surrounds all of them and a great energy surges around the room which teleports them out of the room.


    Abayo is fascinated by the group, he felt they were weird but he always enjoyed the weird that was the


    only thing he enjoyed about his dad''s job, being able to entangle with so many strange and out of the


    world creatures. Linda walks downstairs, the house is a mess cause Oloogun had been turning all the


    furnitures around looking for Papa.


    "What happened here? Who are you?" Linda say.


    The group find themselves in front of arge ck mansion with other sub buildings, each building had


    a red bull logo which was the sign for the Gol heroes.


    "Daughter that I''m leaving." Gboyega finishes his statement, he soon figures out he isn''t in Papa''s


    house and grabs Richard short


    "You are so stubborn." Gboyega''s eyes glow up angry that he couldn''t tell Linda he was heading out,


    he knew he messed up yesterday and nned to make things up to her but right now he couldn''t.


    "The boss said we had to go Gboyega, calm down." Richard says mockingly, Ngozi brings out a deal lip


    balm and spreads it around her lips.


    "What are we waiting for?" Ngozi wasn''t scared about the mission, she wanted to go in quick and get


    the job done so she could go back to her room and talk with Tina. A young Bron skinned girl wearing a


    hijabes out of the mansion, her name was Madaniyah and she was the caretaker of the Gok


    house.


    "Barka da safiya, Ni Madaniyah yaya zan taimake ku?" Madaniyah spoke in Hausanguage which


    was her nativenguage, she was greeting them pleasantly but the others didn''t understand except for


    Richard.


    "Inafiya, ni da tawagaina an aike mu da wata manufa ta musamman. Muna neman Gok jarumai."


    Richard was asking about the Gok heroes, the others are impressed they are clearly seeing different


    shades of Richard. Ayo is the most impressed, he just thought Richard was a broken child who enjoyed


    alcohol.


    "I see one of you understands mynguage, I''m Madaniyah and your friend have clearly exined


    everything to me. Follow me and I''ll take you to our heroes." Madaniyah goes inside the mansion, Ayo


    gets very suspicious.


    "I don''t trust this people, firstly because we''re doing this cause Essence mentioned this ce and


    secondly this is just insane." He whispers to the others so Madaniyah won''t hear them.


    "It''s going to be fine and if anything goes wrong, I''m sure we can handle ourselves." Tolu says, Ngozi


    gets tired of waiting and walks in, the others quickly follow behind her. Richard starts getting worried


    knowing that what Huffcupp told him was true, he wondered whey Ngozi was ying another


    personality, what went wrong with her?


    Yesterday night in Ngozi''s room, she celebrates with Tina over killing the man at the park and their


    friendship but Ngozi didn''t quite understand how she felt in the park, she felt different, emotionless just


    like Tina.


    "I need you to exin something to me Tina, when you went to attack that man and I joined...... I didn''t


    feel like myself anymore, I felt like another being like you Tina." Ngozi exins to Tina, a huge dark


    smokees out of Tina''s body surrounding the room.


    "That''s a good feeling Ngozi, it makes you a better person. Not being able to feel anything about your


    past, you can be like me free and reckless, not bothered about what others think about you. I can help


    you ess it fully, let''s be the baddest bitch were both meant to be." Tina grabs Ngozi hand as she


    exins to her hoping she''ll understand, Ngozi hasn''t found it easy since she came to Papa''s house.


    Essence had affected her so bad that she couldn''t stop thinking about her father everytime.


    "Fine, just free me from the evil clutches of Samson." Ngozi says, the smoke around Ngozi''s room


    suddenly turns into a tiny cyclone which enters Ngozi''s mouth.


    In the Gok mansion, the team catch up with Madaniyah who''s standing in front of a door.


    "What took you guys time?'' Madaniyah puts her finger on her lip implying that they should remain


    silent, the team hear moaning of a womaning from the door. The sound got even louder that the


    whole building starts to shake, Madaniyah quickly rushes into the room and ms the door.


    "You were saying?" Ayo faces Tolu, he isn''t stillfortable about this he wants the team to focus on


    Papa likely being evil but they are all less concerned. After waiting for several minutes, Ngozi gets


    tired.


    "This is getting really boring and I have some messed up shit I want to do today so let''s open this damn


    door." Ngozi pushes the others away from her as she''s about to open the door, Madaniyah opens it


    already and tells them toe in. The group walk in to a disorganized huge office, a light skinned man


    wearing a suites out of a bathroom with his wife a light skinned woman who''s also wearing a suit,


    Richard quickly recognizes who both of them are.


    "Oh my gosh! I''m in the same room with Doctor Mind and Mrs Mind! The great heroes from the Gok


    heroes!" Richard scerams excited, he had read different articles of this team saving lives while he was


    little, also bought some of their merchandise and hid it away from his parents. Doctor Mind and Mrs


    Mindughs out loud.


    "You know your stuff young boy, it''s very nice to meet you." Doctor Mind voice sounded so pleasant,


    Mrs Mind hits his shoulder pointing to him that his belt isn''t adjusted properly.


    "I''m a huge fan, where are the other heroes? What about Queen, Nexus, Armstrong, Unique and


    Granger?" Richard was really happy, he could have questioned them all day long but got eye signals


    from the others to stop.


    "It''s a great honour to meet both of you but we need............" Tolu is interrupted by a young teenage girl


    who looked a lot like Madaniyan, the girl runs to hug Doctor Mind and Mrs Mind.


    "I heard a lot of noise Dad, hope everything is fine?" She says winking her eyes, Mrs Mind kneels down


    and faces her.


    "Everything is fine Madaniyah." Mrs Mind says rubbing her fingers on Madaniyah forehead, the team


    get really worried about this, young Madaniyah runs off really fast.


    "Why does she look like you and she''s called Madaniyah? I need answers." Ayo moves closer to


    Madaniyah, he could have easily scanned this ce to confirm whether this is real or not but he


    resisted.


    "It''s just mere coincidence." Madaniyah says calmly.


    "Why don''t we show you people around this ce, I and my wife can take the boys to our trophy room


    while Madaniyah takes thedies around the weapon gallery." Doctor Mind says, Richard is exicted


    about this being able to follow his role models around.


    "Why don''t I follow thedies?" Mrs Mind says she didn''t feel like staying around the boys. Madaniyah


    quickly runs toward Mrs Mind.


    "You can''t, you''re always with your husband Ma." Madaniyah whispers gently to Mrs Mind ear.


    "That''s true, that''s true, that''s true, that''s true.........." Mrs Mind kept on repeating this same sentence,


    she was in a trance Doctor Mind just kept on starring at her while smiling, minutester she gets off the


    trance and grabs her husband hand.


    "Let''s go." Doctor Mind says and leads the boy to the trophy room while Madaniyah leads the girls to


    the weapon gallery.


    Minutester, the boys are leaded to a room filled with different artifacts skulls of extinct dinosaurs, a


    red finger, a huge brain, heads of beings with big eyes and so many other weird things. Richard knew


    what some of things were.


    "Wow, these are amazing. So many trophies." Richard spots a coupon on the floor and picks it up.


    "That''s a coupon to a magic school, they train wizard and witches or people with rare magical artifacts.


    You can refer any of your friends there." Mrs Mind says, Richard keeps the coupon in his pocket.


    "I and my team also enjoyed talking in this room, it was like a therapy for us anytime we had issues."


    Doctor Mind was proud of himself, he was the leader of the Gok heroes and was always given all the


    credits. He made a great legacy, Mrs Mind whispers to Doctor Mind.


    "We''llbe right back." Doctor Mind says strangely and walks out with his wife, Gboyega breathes out


    heavily andughs out loud. He had been quiet throughout the tour.


    "Those people are really weird." He says smiling, Ayo looks around touching all the artifacts in the


    room. He felt there was something wrong about this ce but he couldn''t just figure out what it was.


    "So what do we do?" Richard ask.


    "He did say this was also a therapy room." Gboyega responds.


    Madaniyah leads the girls to her room instead of taking them to the weapon gallery, she felt it''ll be


    boring for them to just stare at old weapons won by these great heroes. She wanted to rte with the


    girls, she hadn''t really had time to see other people cause she''s always busy taking care of the heroes.


    "So why do the heroes need a caretaker? They can clearly take care of themselves." Tolu was also


    getting suspicious of the ce due to Mrs Mind behavior earlier but she maintained a decent attitude.


    "You know, sometimes when the heroes fight strange viins things are bound to happen to them


    mentally." Madaniyah says calmly, she had a very cool and nice attitude but Tolu having spent time in


    the interrogation room at the police station knew Madaniyah was hiding something, Ngozi wasn''t


    paying attention to anything they were saying.


    "So how did you be their caretaker? You must actually worked hard to get here." Tolu continues to


    question her.


    "A man brought me here, felt I was worthy and I''ve always loved the Gok heroes.........." Ngozi


    interrupts Madaniyah.


    "This is getting really boring, I''m out of here." Ngozi walks out of the room, Madaniyah tries to stop her


    but Tolu grabs her hand.


    "She''s not always like that, she''s not just in a good mood today. Just let her be." Tolu didn''t want to


    make Madaniyah worried, she wanted more answers. She was waiting for the perfect time to ask the


    perfect question. Who''s Essence?


    Ngozi walks around the hallway of the mansion, it was a reallyrge house with different rooms. She


    tried to summon Tina but she wouldn''t appear, she didn''t feel like calling the other imaginary friends


    feeling she had outgrown them.


    "We need to hurry up, I''m getting tired of this ce." Ngozi says to herself, she spots young Madaniyah


    sitting on the ground crying.


    "Where are my parents." Young Madaniyah cries out to Ngozi, she looked troubled.


    "They took..... My friends to the trophy....... Room." Ngozi voice shakens, she was really worried for the


    little girl.


    "Please take me to them." The girl kneels and the tears quickly roll down from her eyes to her cheek,


    Ngozi couldn''t hold this personality any longer the young girl reminded her of herself.


    "Don''t cry, let''s get you to your parents." Ngozi says with her normal voice and helps the girl get up,


    they both go together to search for Doctor Mind and Mrs Mind.


    In the Gok house, the boys were still waiting for Mr Mind and Mrs Mind, Ayo was already getting tired


    and he was more suspicious they''ve all been sitting in the room for over an hour, Richard enjoyed his


    time there he was busy piecing together all the artifacts that were there. Gboyega had a lot on his mind


    and was desperate to tell the others.


    "Gbemi is dead guys." Gboyega said it really fast he wanted to get it off his chest, the two stare at him


    they didn''t really know Gbemi, they''ve met her like thrice but didn''t really know much about her but


    what they knew was that Gboyega cared so much about her and she helped Gboyega figure himself


    out.


    Gboyega goes on. "I just want to get that off my chest, it''s really hard for me to cope these days and I''m


    just so confused on what to do. I was the cause that she died." Gboyega had always med himself


    for what happened to her.


    "How?" Ayo was really curious.


    "Well.......... It''s not me, she was shot by some mafia and it''s my fault because I thought I could be


    happy." He brings out a tissue from his pocket to quickly clean his eyes which were tear filled. " It just


    seems like everything that I touch or anyone that I know gets killed because of me. I mean I took my


    parents life and I brought the idea of fighting crime to Gbemi." Gboyega says swiftly, he tired to


    Gboyega and pats his back.


    "And now I have this step daughter who wants to be part of my life but it won''t end well for her, I just


    want to be happy without ruining things and messing up..............." Gboyega quickly stops himself from


    talking, he faced his two friends, he knew they really cared about him and he clearly knew that they


    weren''t doing well either.


    "I''m saying this because I know we''re all living terrible lives right now, we are family and I think we


    should befortable to tell each other anything even Ngozi is family even though she distants herself


    from us but she''s still part of us. If anyone wants to get some shit off their chest I suggest they say it


    now!" Gboyega says firmly, Ayo stares at his robotic hand and thought of the horror Slip had done, he


    too wanted to get some shit off his chest and immediately begins.


    "I was on a destructive path, I did so many terrible things to different kind of people but there was this


    particr one that just put me on the deep end. You know who showed it to me and reminded me of


    how terrible a person I was." Ayo talked very boldly, it was hard for the others to feel any emotion from


    his voice cause his voice had been enhanced to sound like a robot but it was there, he sounded sad


    and bitter.


    "I don''t feelfortable talking about most of the things I did, there''s this thing in my head that has


    been controlling me. I don''t feel like a human anymore, I don''t know what I am or who I am........ I wish


    Papa was here." He sighs heavily, conflicted and confused about what to believe in, Richard exhales


    deeply getting ready to talk but Ayo interrupts him.


    "I guess you don''t have any story to tell Richard." Ayo says gently, this made Richard feel out of ce


    and confused cause he had told Ayo everything about himself.


    "Excuse me." Richard says disgusted.


    "I mean you were just a young boy who had parents who made him master everything about his


    powers but you got tired of it." Ayo says boldy.


    "Fuck you!" Richard says and teleports out of the room.


    Madaniyah has been showing Tolu different pictures of her and the different Gok heroes, Tolu has been


    trying to get answers from her but Madaniyah was quite good at keeping every secret about herself.


    "And this was when.............." Tolu quickly interrupts Madaniyah tired of waiting and getting no answers.


    "Do you know Papa?" Tolu said swiftly, Papa''s name triggers Madaniyah and she quickly shifts to the


    back.


    "Why did you say that name?" Madaniyah talks gently not wanting to alert her patients.


    "We need the heroes help, Papa was kidnapped." Tolu says and stares at Madaniyah who is in a state


    of confusion.


    "Who are you? I thought you people came here to meet the heroes not to question me about their


    past." Madaniyah says firmly, she picks up a knife that wasying on a table.


    "You don''t want to do that, Papa was kidnapped by Essence and I figured out that the heroes have


    faced Essence before. I wanted to know if they could give us any kind of advise on how we can take


    him down." Tolu quickly exins.


    "Essence? You shouldn''t have mentioned that name." Madaniyah says and runs out of the room.


    "What is going on here?" Tolu says confused, the whole mansion quickly changes shape and form from


    a beautiful modern mansion to a warehouse with broken roofs, damaged walls and other materials that


    seemed to have been there for years.


    Ngozi who is still walking down the hallway with young Madaniyah notices the changes in the house


    and quickly questions the young girl beside her.


    "What''s going on Madaniyah?" Ngozi says but the little girl doesn''t respond, she stares at Ngozi in a


    very creepy way and smiles.


    Ngozi goes on. "Are you fine? Who''s doing this?" Ngozi gets very worried and scared, young


    Madaniyah clothes quickly change into a ck and white uniform, she held a luggage and a school


    bag.


    "Tell my parents that I''ll miss them, hopefully Ie back home soon." Young Madaniyah says and


    vanishes into thin air, Ngozi heart beats really fast she tried to summon her imaginary friends but none


    wereing out from the amulet. She turns around and sees Mr and Mrs Mind staring at her the same


    way young Madaniyah was staring.


    "Beautiful girl yet you''re so broken inside.'' Mrs Mind said gently.


    "What''s going on?" Ngozi move closer to the heroes.


    "What''s going on with you Ngozi?" Mrs Mind streches her hands and a form of waveses out of


    Ngozi''s body, Mrs Mind goes on. "You pretend to be fine, to be strong and hold this persona but we


    both know you''re not doing so well." Mrs Mind says as she walks closer to Ngozi, Ngozi steps aside


    nning to run away but is stopped by a younger version of herself.


    "We can''t escape what were going through." The younger version says as blood gushes out from her


    hands, she pushes Ngozi to the floor.


    "Thinking of running away like you''ve been running away from Daddy! You have so much potentials


    Ngozi but you can''t just achieve them because you can never be ready." Mrs Mind says and smiles


    awkwardly.


    "Just let me go." Ngozi pleads as her eyes are filled with tears.


    "You can''t escape from this Ngozi." She says, Mr Mind snaps his finger and a shadow form of Samson


    appear on between the legs of Ngozi.


    "No!" Ngozi screams and tries to move away but her body isn''t moving, she was paralyzed.


    "You might have killed your father but he still lives inside you..........." She touches Ngozi hair gently and


    goes on. "You''re just a broken girl with daddy issues."


    Tolu tries to open the room''s door but it''s jammed, she picks up different objects and hits it really hard


    on the door but it won''t still open, sheys on the ground and screams feeling powerless and hoping


    she hasn''t put the others in danger.


    "If anything happens to them I won''t be able to handle it." She says to herself, Essence appears in front


    of her.


    "Oh you''re the one they should be worried about." Essence said in a very deep way, he looked stress


    and tired. He had been busy all day and was ready to end Tolu.


    "What''s going on Essence?" Tolu stands up gently looking around for any object she could use to


    defend herself.


    "You don''t seem to get it, these Gok heroes tried to stop me and they faced the consequences.............


    Years of mental issues Tolu." Essence said, Tolu could finally see the evil side her friends had been


    telling her, he looked like someone that could end her right here.


    "I wanted to help you Essence, let me help you." Tolu pleads.


    "That''s your problem Tolu, you want to help people but you''ve never even tried to help yourself. You


    want to be just like your father in every way both the good and the bad." Essence had already read


    Tolu''s mind and everything about her, he wanted to break her. He was tired of trying to be stopped, he


    snaps his finger and a figure of Balogun stands before Tolu, he looked scared and was in rag clothing.


    "Stop doing this dear, give up." Balogun said so while shaking.


    "Dad." Tolu was quite confused, she had never experienced Essence powers like the others did.


    "Don''t waste your life like I did to mine." Balogun talks louder. A man wearing a ck hood suddenly


    appears in front of Balogun and stabs him with a knife.


    "No!" Tolu screamed on the ground, she couldn''t do anything all she did was watch.


    "Doing the right thing isn''t worth it." Balogun says gently as blood gushes out from his stomach and he


    slowly dies.


    "I warned you the first time but you didn''t listen." Essence says, he looked Tolu in the eye trying to see


    if he could pity her but Essence already warned her once he thought to himself that Tolu won''t stop


    trying to defeat him, he snapped his finger and the knife on the ground floats and goes through Tolu


    chest.


    "Fuck." Tolu says andys on the ground as she bleeds out.


    "You''ll suffer the same fate as your father, he didn''t achieve anything, he was worthless and thought the


    only thing he could do was help people. Pray your team finds you." Essenceughs in a diabolical way,


    he snapped his fingers and vanished.


    Ayo and Gboyega notices all the changes around them, Ayo gets really suspicious and decides to


    search for the others.


    "I can''t just sit here, I need to find the others." Ayo says hoping Gboyega will join him.


    "I''ll rather not, I might just mess everything up." Gboyega says firmly while Ayo runs off disappointed to


    look around for the others.


    Richard had been wandering around looking for Tolu and Ngozi, when he noticed the changes around


    the house he didn''t want to go back to the guys cause he felt embarrassed and disappointed by what


    Ayo said wondering whether Ayo ever listened to all the things he had told him. He bumps in with


    Madaniyah who''s in a hurry to find the heroes.


    "Madaniyah? What''s going on here? Whats happening to the house? I need answers." Richard says,


    she tries to move away without answering his questions but Richard grabs her hand assuring her that


    he''ll listen.


    "Fine, walk with me." She grunts and goes on. "Mr and Mrs Mind are my parents, they adopted me."


    She says as she looks around worried about her parents and the trauma they will inflict on anyone they


    find.


    "I never knew they had a child." Richard says.


    "Not a lot of people did, there was a time Papa came to my parents and gave them a top secret


    mission to find and defeat Essence.............. Things didn''t go well, Essence broke my parents and


    damaged them with their past lives, turned them against each other." She says as her voice shakens


    and her mind filled with regrets.


    "Essence is really that dangerous." Richard says to himself.


    "The Gok heroes promised to take care of them so that I could go to boarding school but even them


    couldn''t handle the mind games my parents were capable of doing. They abandoned them and left


    them to suffer. Yearster I came back and met my parents insane, I tried to get to Papa but he said it


    wasn''t his business anymore." Tears gushes out of Tolu''s eyes as she goes on.


    "Papa did that?" Richard was conflicted, he couldn''t believe that Papa could do such a thing he was


    starting to believe everything Ayo told him about Papa.


    "But he gave me a drug that could calm them down for sometime but when your friend mentioned


    Essence name it triggered them. This is all my fault, I should have been there for them." Madaniyah


    had always med herself for leaving to go to boarding school and not taking care of her parents, she


    felt a huge burden.


    "It''s not your fault, you had your own life." Richard tried tofort her.


    "I know but I should have at least been calling them to see how their doing, we shouldn''t give up on the


    people we love and care about." Madaniyah says quietly.


    "Yeah." Richard quickly thought of Ngozi.


    Ayo goes around different rooms looking for the others, he hears a voice of ady screaming in a


    particr room and quickly barges in. He sees Tolu crying as a huge form of blood is gushing out of her


    stomach and spreads around the room floor.


    "Tolu! You''re bleeding really bad." He runs towards her and kneels down touching the wounded spot


    with his hand. "Where is Richard when you need him?" He knew he could easily help her with his


    powers but he didn''t want to do it, he didn''t want Slip toe back and ovee it but he couldn''t


    watch and let Tolu die.


    "I can do this." Ayo says as he breathes out heavily, he starts seeing images of people he had hurt in


    the past.


    "You raped me." Lucy says as she appears in front of him, ady with a baby also stands beside Lucy


    and speaks. "You ruined my life Ayo, all I wanted to do was help you." Thedy says, Ayo knew all of


    this were in his head, he was sweating heavily. He took his eyes away from Tolu but she started


    screaming in pain.


    "I got this, Slip activate!" He screams, his robot eye glowed in a red colour and his whole cybeic


    part started shaking, it''s been years since he had activated his powers. He hears a disoriented voice of


    Slip.


    "How may I help you?" Slip says.


    "Activate thesers, this may hurt a bit Tolu." He saysforting her, she nods her head to the positive


    understanding.


    As Richard and Madaniyah look around for the others, they spot Ngoziying on the ground not moving


    her body.


    "Ngozi?." Richard touches her chest. "She''s still breathing." Richard says and breathes out he was


    firstly scared thinking she had died, Madaniyah could hear her parents voice.


    "Stay here." Madaniyah says and runs into the shadow. Ayo who has been walking around while


    carrying spots Richard and Ngozi, he moves with lightning speed towards them.


    "Now, we have to hope Gboyega gets here quickly." Richard says. Gboyega had already left the trophy


    room searching for the others. He got really scared hoping nothing had happened to the only family he


    had left, he finally spots them from a far distance. He saw what had happened to Ngozi and Tolu, he


    heard disoriented voices it Mrs Mind.


    "If only you were there to save them, you''re pretty powerful." She says andughs. "No matter where


    you are, you''re always going to ruin people''s life." The voice fades away, Gboyega quickly runs towards


    them feeling guilty for noting out with Ayo.


    "What happened? This is all my fault." Gboyega cries out, Richard puts all of them closer to him.


    "This isn''t the time." He says boldy, they all suddenly teleport out of the building.


    In Papa''s house, Linda and Abayo are both ying a board game while Oloogun sits down on a chair


    tires of searching for Papa, he was quietly waiting for the team to show up. The teams suddenly appear


    in the middle of the living room as they all are covered in blood, Oloogun runs toward them.


    "What''s going on?" Oloogun says, he was quite concerned.


    "You said you were a herbalist, can you do something about our friend who''s bleeding?" Gboyega


    pleads, he kneels down and begs Oloogun, Oloogun pushes Gboyega aside and sits beside Tolu.


    "I tried to patch up the wound with myser, it worked for sometime but the blood is still gushing out."


    Ayo says. Richard wasn''t paying attention to them rather he was attending to Ngozi who wasn''t still


    moving her body.


    "The object that was used to cut her wasn''t just any object, it was filled with magic. I don''t have much


    powers in me but I can help." Oloogun says, he starts saying incantations in Yoruba and a ck


    coloured liquides out of Tolu''s stomach.


    "That should help her but take her to the hospital." Oloogun says, Ayo grabs Richard and he teleports


    he, Ayo and Tolu away from the house.


    "For your other friend, I don''t think I can help her. Her case seems to be different." Oloogun says, he


    was really concerned about them and what was going on, Linda stared at Gboyega hoping he''ll exin


    to her about what happened but he ignores her.


    "I need to report back to my team, tell them what happened. Abayo you start looking for the materials


    needed to track people down." Oloogun says, with what he had seen he quickly believed what


    Gboyega told him that they had no idea where Papa was.

 Chapter 18: PAPA

    Chapter 18: PAPA


    In 1940, Papa is in the Organization building sitting amongst other people of colour. They were all


    called by Bryan preparing to send them off for a very daring mission, the mission was described to


    them as a death race but they were willing to participate if any of them was able to win it meant they''ll


    get a promotion and not work as servants anymore. Bryan walks in and they all bow down to greet him,


    he made it mandatory that anytime he passed their side they should pay due respect or else be killed.


    "In our hunt to find every special powers your kind hold, we stumbled upon something but we lost track


    of it. It''s amunity of Hause people, they call themselves the "Taletikans." Everything is pretty


    primitive about them but there always give birth to a special child every 50years, we need to find that


    special child. None of the noble men and women here are ready to do it, so we''re sending you people."


    Bryan says boldy, they all watch, they couldn''t talk back or else they''ll face the wrath of The


    Organization. Papa was determined to get to higher position, live a luxurious life, he swore that he''ll get


    to the Taletikans by all means.


    3monthster, Papa has been living in the deep part of the forest haunting for the Taletikans. He still


    remained determined even though sometimes he was tired but he quickly remembered the type of life


    he could live if he was able to find the special child, he couldn''t escape a chip had already been


    imnted on all their necks. One night after searching all day, Papa faints on the ground, a young man


    wearing a fur coat drags Papa leg.


    Papa wakes up and finds himself in a tiny bit. He wasn''t wearing the clothes he wore while he was


    awake, he was wearing animals fur around his body, a dark skinned woman also wearing animal fur


    with unique blue coloured tattoo walks in. She''s shocked to see Papa awake, she was taking care of


    him while he was asleep, Papa sees a wooden stickying on the floor and picks it up, he streches it


    towards toward the youngdy face indicating that she should back off.


    "Who are you?" Papa says, he was scared about where he was and how she looked. He wanted to run


    out of the hut but thedy was blocking the entrance. Thedy didn''t understand anything that Papa


    said, she only understood Hausanguage.


    "Kwantar da hankalinka, dan uwana ya same ka kwanciya a ?asa." She was trying to tell him that her


    brother found himying on the ground, Papa couldn''t understand what she was saying still frightened


    he exhaled deeply.


    "I don''t understand what you''re saying." Papa says quietly, he thought to himself of where he could be.


    He remembered vividly that he fainted, he looked at thedy dressing and the hut around them, it was


    filled with ornaments, bones and ancient relics Papa studied the Taletikans culture and immediately


    figures out is at the vige.


    "You speak anothernguage, this is awkward." He drops the stick and moves closer to her, he tried to


    walks in quickly, he doesn''t bother looking at Papa but faces the woman and scolds her in his


    stic te from a counter and demonstrate how to eat with her hand.


    "Ohh, food? I''m quite hungry." Papa touches his stomach as it rumbles really loud, the woman smiles


    and leads Papa out of the hut. Papa is outside in a tiny vige filled with different huts with people


    mostly kids, lesser adults and few elders. There''s a hugs wooden table standing in front of Papa and


    thedy, she drags him toward the table and he sits beside her.


    "This is awkward." Papa looked very different from the other vigers, the kids were busy looking at


    him this made Papa really feel ufortable. The man who came into Papa''s hut moves behind Papa


    and drops a cup of water for him on the table with a huge uncooked fish.


    "I''ll pass." Papa says and pushes the fish aside, thedy quickly disys eating the fish to Papa.


    "I don''t eat fish that isn''t cooked." Papa says and smiles at her, he was happy that he found someone


    that could lead him around this unknown new world.


    "Sha." Thedy picks up a cup of water beside her and drinks it.


    "Sha means drink." Papa says and she nods to the positive, she holds his hand and puts it on her


    chest.


    "Mashee''a." She say gently.


    "It''s nice to meet you Mashee........." He struggles to pronounce her name, after three trials he finally


    gets it, he couldn''t stop admiring her and this beautiful world she lived in.


    Two monthster, Papa has been trying to adapt to the Talekitans lifestyle he maintained his friendship


    with Mashee''a and was hoping one day she''ll lead him to the special child, he spent time studying the


    little kids in the vige thinking one of them might be the special child. At a point he wanted to give up


    on his search and just start a new life with these wonderful people but he knew at some point The


    Organization will still send for him, one morning Papa is fishing with Mashee''a, he catches a fish after


    numerous times and jumps really high celebrating.


    "And that''s how you fish!" He says exicted, Mashee''a apuds from behind she held a book and reads


    out a sentence from it.


    "Nice one." She says perfectly, Papa had been teaching her to speak English while she helped him


    understand hernguage, people and culture.


    Papa chuckles happily, he was d that Mashee''a was getting better with English, during the past


    months it was very hard for Papa to understand Mashee''a but luckily they both had a mutual


    connection


    "I''m d you''re getting better with your English, all that remains is for your to teach your brother." They


    bothugh out loud, Tu''lur was the name of Mashee''a brother he didn''t really care to learn anything


    new and always used Mashee''a of stepping away from the Talekitans culture, he always med


    Papa but deep down he actually liked him everyone in the vige liked Papa he taught most of them


    new things and they were d he was with them. Papa gets up to move away from the river, a deer


    from nowhere runs toward him with dashing speed Mashee''a was fast enough to spot the deer and she


    streches her right hand towards the deer. Her whole body was glowing in a blue colour, the light was


    powerful Papa had to cover his eyes with his eyes or else he could have gone blind, the deer suddenly


    stops moving and it''s body fall apart into different pieces.


    Papa''s body was shaking tremendously, he ower ever seen such powers like that in his lifetime and he


    knew he had seen a lot, he runs towards her. "How did you do that?" Papa asked swiftly, Mashee''a


    voice shakened she didn''t know what to say. She quickly runs off leaving Papa wondering.


    Later that day veryte, Papa had been in his hut wondering what he could do about Mashee''a


    situation, he wrote different kind of theories on his book no other child or adult had disyed any form


    of power to him in the vige. Mashee''a walks in looking very angry.


    "Come." She says swiftly and drags him toward the river stream, she sat down looking very sad Papa


    was quite confused on what to do and what to say. He didn''t want to say anything that will piss her off


    but he also wanted answers.


    "Exin to me Mashee''a, you can tell me." Papa says gently and sits beside her, sheys her head on


    his shoulder and felt reallyfortable and found peace. Mashee''a was the special child and a great


    responsibility rested on her shoulder, she never yed with the other kids or adults in the vige cause


    they were told to leave her but her friendship with Papa had made her free. She streches her right hand


    towards the aky, and suddenly a group of fireflies suddenly appear around them, Papa stood up and


    was bbergasted by it, she stood up too and faced him the lights around the fireflies were shinning on


    Mashee''a face. "You''re outstanding......." He says slowly in a very low tone. Almost immediately to


    Papa''s suprise, Mashee''a pulls him closer and crashes her lips on him. His words trailed off, bringing


    his head down to the crook of her neck. He trailed soft kisses on her neck.


    Papa had gone back to The Organization to report what he had found, he actually thought of staying


    there with Mashee''a to start a new life but he was determined to gain a higher position in life. He went


    to report to Bryan.


    "So you found the location of the Talekitans? That''s impressive for your kind." Essence apuds.


    "Yes but I couldn''t find the special child." Papa lied he was hoping that The Organization won''t


    experiment on the Talekitans if there was nothing special about them.


    "We''ll figure that out by ourselves, conduct test on each and everyone of them. Dispose the useless


    ones, you''ll go back there and stay for five months while we get ready Papa." Bryan says, Papa


    thought of what to do. He couldn''t leave the woman he loved to be experimented on.


    Five monthster, Papa had been with the Taletikans and got even closer to Mashee''a he knew it was


    almost time for The Organization to attack so one night he went to her but and sat beside her.


    "I want you toe with me to the outside world Mashee''a." He said gently trying to convince her.


    "And leave my people? I can''t Papa." She said firmly.


    "You''ve always talked about how your people were holding you back, how you wanted to be free


    Mashee''a. Let''s run away together and start a family together." He pleads, Papa wasn''t ready to let her


    go. Mashee''a thought of all the things she could do in a world of freedom, Papa had always told her


    that they were other special people with powers like her, she wanted to meet them she didn''t want to


    feel locked up.


    "Are you sure about this?" She holds Papa''s hand and moves closer to him.


    Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    "Yes, it''s going to be fine. I promise you." Papa says.


    A week had passed, Papa was able to get Mashee''a away from vige before The Organization were


    able to invade and kidnap the people. Papa and a group of other men were sent to the vige again to


    check to see if they missed anyone, Papa walked down to the river stream of the vige, this brought


    back a lot of memories for him but something else was distracting him, he saw a man crawling on the


    ground bleeding, Papa ran towards the man and saw that it was Tu''lur. Tu''lur at first was happy to see


    Papa but noticed Papa was wearing the same clothes The Organization members were wearing.


    "You? We epted you? You betrayed us." Tu''lur says, tears filled his eyes.


    "I''m sorry but I had to do what I had to do, your sister is safe though." Papa says quietly, he didn''t want


    to alert the other members.


    "Help me, I promise not to say anything to her." He pleads, Tu''lur had already been injured during the


    attack, he couldn''t move or feel his legs. Papa considered helping him but thought of the


    consequences, he knew Tu''lur will tell Mashee''a everything. Papa picks up arge wooden stick.


    "Don''t kill me, I saved your life Papa, I took you in as family." Tu''lur plead but within a second Papa hits


    the stick on Tu''lur''s head.


    Years passed, Papa was attending a adopting event for Supernaturals with strange powers, he had


    seen a lot of kids performed but was shocked by a particr child power. He had been searching for


    the child throughout the event and he finally spots the person that brought him a young Asian man.


    "Good evening Sir, I''m here about the young boy I saw on stage. I wanted to see more about his


    powers." Papa said, the man quickly drags a young Asian boy out of a corner.


    "Tell me more about your powers boy?" He asked, the young boy was shy at first but talks.


    "I don''t know, it seems like I can ess a chi in me and look into your mind keep you away from


    people that might be looking you. I can make you sort of invisible from the whole world, like you


    vanished." The boy says, Papa hugs the young boy and shakes his hand.


    "What''s your name boy?" Papa asked.


    "Chong." The boy says smiling, hoping he had found a home and a father.


    In a white room, a huge TV is floating and Papa''s whole past is being disyed in the TV. Essence sits


    and apuds.


    "Isn''t this beautiful? No wonder I couldn''t find Papa, after all these years he had a special child with him


    to protect him and his wife. The spell must still be around Mashee''a I can''t feel her but it''ll surely wear


    off at some point and I''lle for her." Essence says and snaps his fingers, the whole room goes


    nk.

 Chapter 19: NGOZI HEAD

    Chapter 19: NGOZI HEAD


    A young Ngozi is in her room watching TV, it was midnight and she knew what always happened during


    midnight especially during weekends. She was waiting patiently and was also scared, Samson walks in


    and closes the door gently.


    "Dad, you''re back." Ngozi said, she stood up and moved closer to hug him her hands and feets were


    shaking.


    "Let''s get started dear." Samson whispered to her ear, Ngozi knew what her father meant she quickly


    at her father waiting for him to finish up what he was about to start.


    Ngozi wakes up and screams, she was in a park and all she could remember was that Samson was in


    between her legs. Her head was hurting her really bad and she struggled to stand up after several


    minutes of grunting and thinking about what happened at her in the Gok house she stands up, there


    was no one at the park but looking at the ce it brought a lot of memories back to Ngozi, she


    recognized this park and had been there but she couldn''t remember when. All her fifteen imaginary


    friends suddenly appear around her, they all looked concern.


    "What? How are all of you here?" She asked, she was confused about what was going on, a young


    "The amulet saved you." Thedy says.


    "It''s been awhile since I summouned you Cupid, so many mistakes have made." Ngozi says


    disappointed, she had abandoned most of the imaginary friends she felt she outgrown and was too old


    for, she created Cupid when she still believed in love but that thought was cleared off her mind due to


    multiple reasons, the imaginary friends pushes Huffcupp to talk he was the first imaginary friend and


    they automatically made him a leader.


    "The amulet was protecting you, those heroes were trying to make you lose your mind but the amulet


    sucked your mind inside it. Your body remains soulless." Huffcupp says, the whole scenario was


    strange but hoped she''ll understand.


    "Huh? And why did the amulet decide to put me in a park?" Ngozi was still trying to remember how she


    knew this park.


    "Your memories are shattered around the amulet, both good and bad. It''s time to go back to the surface


    Ngozi." Huffcupp streches his hand wanting to lead her back to her body but she rejects the offer.


    "No! You guys have no idea what it''s like up there, just give me sometime to think about it." Ngozi runs


    off into the deep ends of the park.


    Richard and Gboyega stand beside Ngozi''s body thinking of what to do, Richard was more worried


    about her he had been saying different ideas to Gboyega but none worked to wake Ngozi up.


    "There''s clearly nothing physically wrong with her, she doesn''t have any bruises or wounds." Richard


    says and wondered what he could do to help her, he didn''t want to lose her. Richard looked into her


    amulet, he concentrated on it and he sees a red light rolling around it, he touches it and all of a sudden


    he knocks down.


    "Richard!" Gboyega screams and runs toward him. "What do I do?" He wonders as both his friends are


    unconscious.


    Richard wakes up in the same park Ngozi was in, he looks around and finds the imaginary friends


    around him. Richard gets up and tries to teleport out of the park but he couldn''t feel his powers.


    "What are you doing here? Take him away." Huffcupp says boldly and punches Richard on the face.


    In 2011,Ngozi is using a knife to cut tubers of yam to prepare for Samson. "It''s going to be fine Ngozi."


    Ngozi said to herself quietly, as she grew older she wasing to the realization that her father would


    never stop doing this thus she nned to escape. Samson walked in to get a bottle of water and stood


    beside her, breathing heavily on her chest, Ngozi quickly moves to the counter of the kitchen to pick up


    a te, she was shivering and she slipped on the ground and the te breaks.


    "Stupid girl!" Samson shouts at the top of his voice, he grabs Ngozi neck and ps on her on the


    Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    different sides of her face cheeks.


    "I didn''t....... Mean........" Ngozi stutters.


    "That''s enough! You''re already in trouble today, unbutton your stupid cloth." Samson said, Ngozi


    pretended to unbutton her shirt but she wasn''t she wanted to protect herself for the first time. "Don''t


    y games with me." Samson picked up the knife and used it cut her clothes, he threw the knife away


    and as he was about to tear down her bra with his hands, Ngozi felt a form anger something she had


    never felt before the kitchen was covered in a ck mist. Samson jumps away from Ngozi body, they


    both heard the disoriented voice of a womanughing. Tina appeared behind Papa, she was finally


    born and she quickly without hesitation snaps Samson neck killing him. She stared at Ngozi for a


    second, Ngozi felt a dark energy inside her she had never created any of her imaginary friends with a


    bad emotion, her lips started to tremble as she burst into tears. Tinaughs manically and vanishes in a


    dark mist, Ngozi quickly snaps back into reality she stared at her father''s dead body thinking of what to


    do. A woman barges into the house after hearing all the noises, she was their neighbor and she knew


    everything that had been going on most days she''ll feel likeing out to help Ngozi but couldn''t.


    "You were never here dear, get out of here quickly." She says happy that Samson was gone for good,


    Ngozi picks a shirtying on the kitchen ground and runs out of the house.


    She runs to the main road not looking around for carsing her way, she just wanted to get far away


    from her house, she identally bumps into a ck jeep knocking her down. Papa and Chonge


    out of the car, Chong looked concerned while Papa didn''t even bother to look at the person they hit.


    "She''s still breathing, what do we do with her?" Chong asked, he was worried.


    "Let''s just dump her at some hospital, I don''t have time..........." Papa nces through Ngozi and is


    fascinated by her amulet. "No, let''s take her home with us." Papa quickly retraced his statement.


    They arrive at Papa''s house, Chong drops her on a chair. He ces his hand on her forehead and


    body glows up in a green colour for few seconds, Ayo, Richard and Gboyega walk in to wee Papa.


    "Wee back home Papa, Chong it''s been years since we''ve seen you." Ayo said, he was jealous


    that Papa and Chong were spending time together.


    "Who''s he?" Gboyega asked, he had just gotten to Papa''s house this year.


    "That is Chong, he lives here to but he isn''t always stable." Richard exined to Gboyega, Papa''s


    whispers to Chong and he stays away from the team.


    "It''s been quite a night, as for thedy I''ll exin to you................" Papa goes on exining how he


    found Ngozi.


    A hourter, Ngozi wakes up. She was scared and confused she looked around the house it felt cozy


    but she wanted to get out, Gboyega walks to her while holding a te of rice.


    "Who are you? Where I''m I? What I''m I doing here?" Ngozi says swiftly, she tried to use the powers


    she felt while she was in Samson''s house but she couldn''t feel anything.


    "I can exin but you''ll need to eat, you look weak." Gboyega moved closer to her trying tofort her


    but looking at him the only thing she thought of was her father, she hits him on the face with her hand.


    "Stay away from me monster! Stay away." She shouts, Gboyega couldn''t handle himself by what she


    said to him and the te melts. Richard walks in.


    "Sorry for trying to help." Gboyega runs off to his room still bothered about Ngozi calling him a monster.


    "I just want to get out of here." Her voice shakens, she was scared tears filled her eyes and she was


    breaking down.


    "You bumped into the car of the owner of this house, he brought you here to help you I guess." Richard


    says, he nced at her from head to toe and knew she wasn''t fine. "You look really bad, you should at


    least eat something." Richard says gently, Ngozi sits on a chair realizing what really happened.


    "I''m fine, I just want to head out of here." Ngozi says, in her head she was thinking of where she''ll go


    to, she had no home or anyone to go to.


    "Hey, trust me when I say I know someone who just ran away from home. So just sit and rx."


    Richard said calmly, Ngozi then nods to the positive.


    Ngoziys on the ground, facing ake and the beautiful sunset. She looked around this beautiful world


    and felt happy to be in it, there was no sort of distraction like work, friends and so on but her father kept


    hitting her thoughts. Tina walks up to her andy beside her.


    "You''re lucky to be here, very lucky." Ngozi says and turns to the left to face Tina.


    "It''s not always like that, we all have our base and mine is constant reminder..........." Ngozi interrupts


    Tina before she could finish.


    "About what happened to me, I can''t quite get it off my head to." Ngozi wonders what she''ll do to help


    herself, she sighs.


    "I have a idea, there''s this ce in the amulet where your bad memories exist. It''s called the Casket, if


    you can confront your past and defeat it then you''ll be free from this torture." Tina says, Ngozi stands


    up interested in this Casket thing, she''ll do anything to get her father off her mind.


    "How do you know about it?" Ngozi was curious, she wanted to take off right now to find the casket.


    "It''s around my base so that''s why I know much about it but I can''t go in cause I''m not real. I can take


    you there but you''ll have to confront a lot of bad memories." Tina stands up and grabs Ngozi hand, she


    knew what was down there and it wasn''t good at all, regrets quickly flooded her mind for even telling


    Ngozi about it.


    "Take me there." Ngozi says boldy ready and determined to clear her dad off her mind.


    Richard wakes up in a cell, he tried to open the door but it was locked and made of steel. He cries out


    for help, after shouting for several minutes, he alys back on the floor hoping someone will find him, he


    hears the cell door getting opened Richard gets excited hoping that Ngozi hade to find him but to


    his supries it was Huffcupp.


    "If it isn''t the person that locked me up." Richard says disappointed, he sat back on the floor waiting for


    Ngozi to show up.


    "I''m sorry for what I did, I was just following orders." Huffcupp begged, he needed Richard help. "I wish


    there was a lot of time to exin but I need your help, Ngozi is in danger." Richard quickly gets up, he


    thought she was fine when hended in this new world.


    "What happened to her?" Richard moved closer to Huffcupp, he wasn''t as tall as the gori so he


    raised his head up to look at Huffcupp to try and feel intimidating.


    "I don''t know, I sent the other imaginary friends to go look for her but they couldn''t find her. We need to


    get to her before............... She goes to the wrong ce." Huffcupp walks out, Richard follows him and


    continues to question him.


    Two dayster after Ngozi was found by Papa, she settles in his house hoping this could be her


    temporary home until she actually finds a way to set herself up, she leaves her room and walks down


    to the dining to join the others she also nned to apologize to Gboyega. She gets to the dining and


    spots the team talking as she was about to walk up to them she hears Gboyega mention her name.


    "They''re talking about me?" She says to herself, she summouned Daisy who was her gossip friend and


    confronts her with what she feels.


    "Can you see those fools? They''re clearly saying terrible things about me." She says disheartened.


    "I doubt that, I could help you listen and report back." Daisy says hoping Ngozi won''t give up a perfect


    chance in finally having a family.


    "There''s no need, no one cares about me." Nhozi says and runs back to her room.


    The boys were truly talking about Ngozi but not in the way she thought. "I just feel like she needs time


    to blend in, we all needed time." Richard says after Gboyega made aint about her.


    "Agreed, where is she and Chong by the way?" Ayo asked, he didn''t trust Chong and couldn''t stand


    him.


    "Chong has been in his room meditating for hours, I''ll check on Ngozi." Richard says and leaves the


    others, he wanted Ngozi to blend in so bad. He goes to the front of her door and knocks on her door,


    Ngozi gently opens it.


    "What are you doing here?" She was shocked to see him after what she thought he was saying about


    her.


    "I....... Just came to see how you were doing, I know it''s hard to fit in a house filled with........ Men and


    you''re like the only........... Lady.........." She quickly shuts Richard up, Richard felt embarrassed but


    Ngozi was giggling.


    "Thanks, I''m not nning to stay for long. I''ll head out soon." Ngozi says, she felt morefortable


    around Richard.


    "No one is, we''re all just trying to get better." They both stared at each other, the conversation wasn''t


    going anywhere and Richard still wanted to talk to her. "I know it''s to early but what made you run away


    from your house?" Ngozi didn''t feelfortable with this question, she had nned to keep everything


    about herself a secret from these people she had just met.


    "I don''t feelfortable talking about it, thanks." Ngozi said firmly, she retraced her steps back to her


    room and goes behind her door.


    "Hey it''s alright, my parents made me ran away. They almost drove me crazy." Richard said and


    stepped back too, she wondered if Richard was a telepath that he knew her father made her run away.


    "Same." She responds and moves away from the door.


    "It''s going to be fine." Richard says and wanted to touch her hand, he moves his hand really slow


    towards hers but Huffcupp suddenly appears behind Richard and growls at the top of his voice.


    "Stay away from her!" The gori shouted, Richard slowly turned around and jumps out of fright when


    he sees a huge white gori standing behind him.


    "Fuck!" Richard shouts and runs away from the hallway.


    "It''s my job to protect you and I clearly don''t trust that kid." Huffcupp says loudly and vanishes.


    Nhozi and Tina walk down a dark forest filled with dark sounds making sounds around the forest, Ngozi


    trembled a bit but Tina wasn''t scared by this she was literally born at this spot, Tina stops and moves to


    a bungalow building that looked exactly like Samson''s house.


    "This is my bus stop, just continue to walk down the forest and you''ll find your way to the Casket." Tina


    says and enters the house, Ngozi heard screaming of her young self and her father, she quickly moves


    far away from the building.


    "I can do this." Ngozi says to herself, she exhales out deeply and thinks of how she''ll be happy if she


    can be free from the clutches from her father, this gave her confidence. Ngozi runs deep inside the


    forest, a huge wave of wind blows toward her she struggles to move forward as the wind pushes her


    back, she hides behind a tree and sits on the ground. Minutester, Ngozi doesn''t hear the sound of


    anything, the whole forest was quite and as she gets up to start moving again the whole forest


    suddenly changes to a hallway filled with different doors, each door had a tag on it with scenerios of


    Ngozi''s past, she starts moving confidently looking for the Casket.


    Richard and Huffcupp walk down another forest unlike the dark one this forest was filled with beautiful


    trees and different animals, they''ve been going around this forest for awhile now and Richard was


    fascinated about all these things living inside the amulet.


    "This ce is beautiful, why can''t you just let Ngozi wait here till she''s like ready toe back?"


    Richard wanted what was best for Ngozi, he also knew that the surface was a pretty shitty ce.


    "It''ll be great if she stays here but this ce is also dangerous, Ngozi mind is a very dangerous ce


    and she can''t be here. I''ve spent all my life here and I know everything about this ce, Ngozi is


    heading to a ce of doom." Huffcupp says.


    "I don''t understand, exin." Richard stops walking, he wanted to know what was going on he got


    really worried about Ngozi.


    "I can''t find Ngozi anywhere, I''m pretty sure she''s going to the Casket and the Casket is a ce where


    you face your biggest fear. There''s no way Ngozi can ovee what she''s going through." Huffcupp


    says disheartened, he feared he couldn''t save her.


    "And what happens if she doesn''t ovee it?" Richard asked but Huffcupp doesn''t respond, the


    gori faces his head down.


    "She''ll get destroyed here and be a soulless body." Huffcupp says and moves forward, after


    walking for few minutes he stops. "We''re here." Huffcupp says boldy, a huge blue forcefield is right in


    front of them. Huffcupp touches the forcefield and it opens up gently, they both pass through the force


    field and the forest in front of them changes into a hallway with different doors.


    "We have to pass the easy way to get to Ngozi, jumping from memory to memory." Huffcupp says and


    opens one of the door, inside is a white light shining really bright, they couldn''t see what was inside.


    "Isn''t this like invasion of privacy?" Richard knew that Ngozi didn''t like talking about her past so didn''t


    feelfortable going in.


    "Don''t worry, it''s the good memories that are in these doors." Huffcupp says and drags Richard inside.


    Richard screams in pain due to the powerful light hurting his eyes, he quickly closes his eyes without


    looking at where he was.


    "Seems like I''m blind." Richard voice shaked as he squeezed his eyes really tight.


    "Just open your eyes." Richard hears a disoriented voice of Huffcupp, he also heard sounds of people


    talking and cars moving. He wondered where he was and quickly opens his eyes.


    "Fuck!" Richard shouts as a truck is moving towards him with full speed, he was standing at the middle


    of a road, he couldn''t ess his powers. The truck was very close to him, Richard life shed right


    before his eyes and a lot of different thoughts started hitting him, a quick thought hit him that was his


    purpose his life apart from drinking, smoking and sleeping with women. The truck goes through Richard


    but surprisingly he is fine, the truck had no effect on him Richard first thought he was dead thenter


    thought he had gotten another power.


    "You''re fine boy, this ce isn''t real. It''s a fragment of Ngozi memory." Huffcupp wanders around.


    Richard exhales heavily and remembers this particr roadside.


    "I know this ce, this was when I and Ngozi were going for our first date. Too bad it ended so soon."


    Richard says to himself, he looks around for Huffcupp and sees he is very far from him. "Hold up."


    Richard runs to Huffcupp as they continue their journey to get to Ngozi.


    In the memory, Richard and Ngozi walk around the roadside talking and smiling. This was Ngozi first


    date with anyone and she wanted to make the best impression.


    "And that''s why I ran away, I couldn''t let her ruin mepletely.........." Richard slows down as he talks,


    he just told her about his childhood. "Most times she''ll call me her project, like I owed her something I


    don''t know about.......... I''m just confused about who I am right now..........." Ngozi grabs Richard lip, he


    was pouring his heart to her but she felt talking more about it won''t help me but Richard actually


    needed someone to talk to.


    "Hey, you''re not like your parents. Thank you for helping me and putting me through, you''ve made me


    feel better and I''m pretty sure at some point I''ll tell you about myself." Ngozi says softly, Richard felt a


    huge wave of responsibility on his shoulder that he was the only one that can protect her.


    Ngozi walked down the hall, a huge wave of bad memories flooded her mind due to where she was,


    she felt pain, misery, guilt and so much more. She grabbed her head thinking about all her life choices


    how she could have been happier in life if she opened up to people who actually cared for her, if she


    learnt her powers and so many more. She hears disoriented voices of Richard and thought of how both


    of them were at the breaking point of their rtionship. She sees ady wearing a hood standing at a


    distance, Ngozi quickly recognized who she was.


    "Miss Vicious." Ngozi moved closer to the hooded figure, she hadn''t summouned this her particr


    imaginary friend for a very long time.


    "So you remember me?" Thedy removes the hood around her, she had different scars on her bodies


    and a metal w for a hand.


    "Why wouldn''t I? I created you when my principal wanted to get information about my past, I needed a


    imaginary friend that was going to guide my secrets at all cost." Ngozi says, she remembered vividly.


    "Yes and after summoning me for like two other things, you left me here. This is my base I guide your


    memories and I''m pretty sure you''re looking for the Casket, follow me." Miss Vicious voice was quite


    deep, she didn''t bother to wait for Ngozi''s reply she turned around and walked towards the Casket,


    Ngozi followed behind her gently.


    In one of memories, Richard and Ngozi are arguing in a apartment. They''ve moved together and their


    differences are breaking them apart.


    "You never tell me anything, you just sit around gloom and talk to your so called friends." Richard voice


    was really high, this wasn''t the first time he hadined about this to Ngozi.


    "Maybe I want to be left alone, everyone isn''t like you that think talking can solve everything." She says


    firmly and sits down on a couch.


    "Did I do something wrong Ngozi? You never allow me to even touch or hold your hands most times,


    are you afraid of me?" Richard talked gently, he knew he couldn''t win this by yelling.


    "No but some of us are just going through more worst issues than having mummy tell us what to do


    with our lives." Ngozi didn''t think this statement through, she just said it so he could leave her.


    "Wow." Richard breathes out and teleports out of the house.


    The other imaginary friends hang around the park waiting for the others to show up, earlier they all sent


    Huffcupp to find Ngozi while they wait, this didn''t sit well with Blitz.


    "Why aren''t we out there helping Huffcupp find Ngozi?" Blitz was concerned that they weren''t back.


    "Huffcupp can''t handle whatever is there on his own."


    "Huffcupp primary job is to protect Ngozi, we have different purpose." Cupid said swiftly.


    "Haven''t you guys wondered what our purpose is?" Since when Blitz had left the park he had


    questioned what he was. "I won''t just sit here and not do anything." Blitz runs off to look for Ngozi, the


    others watch him from a distance as he goes.


    Richard and Huffcupp are still walking around Ngozi''s memories, Richard gets really tired of wandering


    around.


    "I''m tired, mainly because of seeing so many good moments of my failed rtionship. Doesn''t Ngozi


    have any good childhood memory?." Richard has mostly seen memories of Ngozi at her adulthood.


    "Let me just say that her childhood wasn''t the best." Huffcupp avoided saying more than that, he looked


    at Richard and saw that he was quite full. "Sorry for being quite the asshole, I was trying protect Ngozi."


    Huffcupp says softly.


    "Hmm, it''s understandable you''re only nice to me when you need me, that''s how my life has been


    around people." Huffcupp couldn''t reply, he knew what Richard said was true but Huffcupp was just


    doing his primary job.


    "I just wonder what my life would be if I focused on myself a little bit, while I was young I was busy


    trying to impress my and be like them, got to Papa''s house and I was busy taking care of Ayo helping


    him understand his powers, moved out from Papa house and............. I thought I was finding myself but


    when Ngozi left, I was just shattered and wenk back to my old shell." Richard voice trembled as he


    talked, he regretted not trying to get better and be a better person, he felt empty.


    "I understand." Huffcupp Pat''s his shoulder.


    "Aren''t you just a imagination?" Richard asked.


    "I don''t really know, I''ve spent years inside this amulet just waiting for Ngozi to call me or for me to


    goes nk, Richard hides behind Huffcupp. Huffcupp wasn''t phased this wasn''t the first time he


    passed this route to the dark forest, a huge wave of light ising towards them.


    "Not again." Richard sighs and covers his eyes, minutester he opens it and jumps up scared, he was


    in the middle of a forest. "Where are we?" He headed sounds of crows and was quickly frightened.


    "Stay here, I mean it. I don''t want you to see something that you will regret." Huffcupp pushes him and


    walks to the bungalow building in front of them. Richard stood frightened, he was sweating heavily he


    heard voices of Ngozi in his head.


    "Ngozi!" Richard runs off around the forest to look for her, her voice gets louder in his head and he


    heard a man''s voice too. "No one will hurt you, I''ming." Richard ran faster, he trips and falls as he


    raises his head up he sees Samson tearing down Ngozi clothes as she cries out for help. "Fuck!"


    Richard shouts at the top of his voice, Huffcupp who has been looking around for him grabs his clothes


    and turns him away from it.


    "I told you not to go anywhere." Huffcupp shouted at the top of his voice.


    "We need to find Ngozi." Richard said boldly and walked away from Huffcupp, he clearly understood


    everything now, why Ngozi didn''t allow him talk to her for long, why she couldn''t trust him with her


    secrets and so on. He was more than determined to save Ngozi.


    "We''re almost there." Miss Vicious says as she leads Ngozi towards the Casket, Ngozi had second


    thoughts about going in there she couldn''t handle all the negative emotions she was feeling.


    "I don''t think I want to go in anymore." Ngozi steps back a bit.


    "Are you sure?" Miss Vicious stared at here, Ngozi heard her father''s voice. The pain didn''t stop, she


    felt his hands all over her body and tears suddenly roll down from her eyes.


    "No, let''s go. I want to be free." Miss Vicious leads the way. Richard and Huffcupp quickly get to her,


    they''ve been running with dashing speed to get to Ngozi, she was shocked to see Richard.


    "Don''t do it Ngozi." Richard breathes out heavily, Miss Vicious streches her w to impale Richard he


    was invading her memories Huffcupp quickly pushes Richard out of the way and is stabbed inside.


    Ngozi runs to Richard.


    "What are you doing here Richard?" She said softly concerned about how all the ways Richard got to


    her.


    "I cane to save you, I saw everything and I understand now. Please don''t go inside the Casket." He


    grabs her hand wanting to take her far away from this ce.


    "I can''t, I need to be free from this torture I''m going through. I can''t handle it anymore, it feels like this


    wave is taking over me day by day and I know I can''t survive it." She sighs, this was the first time Ngozi


    was opening up to someone.


    "I''m begging you, just stop and we''ll handle it in the real world." Richard whispered to her.


    "I''m sorry for this, Vicious! Don''t kill him." Ngozi shouts, Vicious jumps toward Richard and gently


    impales her ws on Richard''s leg. Ngozi runs off to find the Casket.


    "I''m sorry but I can''t let you stop her." Miss Vicious streches her other hand, rage filled her eyes she


    had other motives. As the w got closer to Richard''s chest, a sudden lightning hits her knocking her


    down.


    "Go and help her!" Blitz shouted from afar, he was with the other imaginary friends as they ran towards


    them, Richard dashes off to catch up with Ngozi.


    "We can''t let her hurt herself." Daisy says as they all march toward Vicious and Huffcupp who was


    unconscious.


    "You fools, if Ngozi dies then we''ll all be free to live in the real world." Miss Vicious says and struggles


    to stand up.


    "Bullshit." Blitz wanted it to be true, he wanted to be free just like Ngozi but couldn''t believe Miss


    Vicious.


    "It''s true, I''m in charge of her memories and if you don''t trust me wait for Huffcupp to get up and all of


    you can ask him by yourselves." Vicious suddenly vanishes into the shadows while the whole group


    stare at Huffcupp.


    Richard runs through different doors looking for Ngozi but suddenly he sees a door standing on it''s own


    without the support of any wall, without hesitation Richard opens the door and jumps inside. He finds


    himself in a graveyard, he spots Ngozi bowing before her father.


    "Father is always right, father is always right, father is always.........." Ngozi repeated that same


    sentence, she was in a trance.


    "She wasn''t ready, she couldn''t defeat her father." Richard quickly runs towards them, Samson


    streches his hand and Richard body was suddenly paralyzed.


    "You can''t save her." Samson said deeply, his eyes glowed in a red colour and turned into a huge giant


    figure, Ngozi doesn''t notice this she continues to recite the same sentence until Samson uses his big


    foot to step on Richard.


    "Ngozi! Ngozi! Ngozi!" Richard shouted and screamed in pain, he felt his soul departing from his body,


    Ngozi turns around andes out of the trance immediately she sees Richard is in danger.


    "No, not Richard. Leave him alone." She says quietly, she didn''t make any attempt to help him.


    "You can defeat your father Ngozi, you''re not alone in this." He cries out in pain, his eyes were closing


    up.


    "I''m not alone." She said to herself, she thought of her her friends and family. A huge wave of


    memories starteding to Ngozi and she smiled, they were all rxing and calming. A memory of


    her talking with Ayo suddenly appears in front of her


    Ayo sees Ngozi cutting onions in the kitchen and walks up to her. "Hmm hi, I know you don''t talk to


    people that much but we at this house care about you even Gboyega." The memory fades away.


    "I can do this." Ngozi says to herself, she thought of all the fun she had with her imaginary friends and


    how they were always there for her, how she and Tolu could be good friends. "I have people that


    care about me." She smiles and as tears drop from her eyes, her legs were moving away from the


    ground, Ngozi was floating. "Grandma always called me star." She exhales deeply and finally thought


    of Richard.


    "I want us to move together." Richard gently told Ngozi, she didn''t feelfortable with it but Richard


    goes on. "I want to be with you, I want us to be together. I love you Ngozi."


    Ngozi snapped back to reality, for the first time she didn''t feel alone she knew she had families and


    friends that were always going to protect her. Her body glowed in a very bright red colour. "I''m not


    afraid of you." Ngozi said boldly to Samson, her voice echoed around the graveyard and a red orb ball


    Richard wakes up after knocking out from the explosion, he sees Ngozi sitting beside him. "How are


    you?" He gently sat beside her.


    "I don''t know, my father is still in my head but I''m better. I can handle the feeling better now." She


    slowly rested her head on his shoulder. "Let''s go home." Ngozi says and smiles, she was relieved from


    a pain she had battle for a very long time.


    "Ngozi!" Richard shouts at the top of his voice as he woke up, he draws a near by chair closer to her


    bed and sits on it. Her eyes were still closed, so he holds her right hand with his two hands and lowers


    his head to kiss the back of hand. "I''m sorry I couldn''t be there to protect you all this while."


    "All that matters is that you came." Ngozi said as she gently opens her eyes while smiling. Gboyega


    walks in all bruised up, his shirt and trousers had patches on them. "You''re both awake." Gboyega runs


    toward both of them and gives them a big hug, Ngozi had never seen Gboyega this happy.


    "Yeah, take your time and rest Ngozi." Richard says as he stands up from the chair, he and Gboyega


    leave the room and head to the sitting room, on getting there the whole ce was a mess and Abayo


    wasying on the ground snoring really loud.


    "What happened here?" Richard says as he looks around the messy sitting room.


    "It''s a long story." Gboyega exhales deeply.

 Chapter 20: SICK DAY

    Chapter 20: SICK DAY


    "I hope you''re fine Tolu?" Ayo says as he watches Tolu justying on the bed, staring at the ceiling.


    They''ve been at the hospital for over two hours, Tolu was having doubts about herself she didn''t talk


    throughout which is unlike her only thing she had done so far was call Deji toe meet her.


    "I''m not, gathering all of us to face Essence was a great mistake." She said as she uses a tissue to


    wipe her tear filled eyes.


    "You don''t have to talk like this, you''re going to get better and we''ll continue the search." Ayo has been


    having a boost of confidence since he used his powers at the Gok house, he saved someone''s life with


    the powers he thought were only meant for chaos and destruction.


    "You''re not listening to me, you need to give up on that idea." Tolu sits properly, she now knew what


    Essence was capable of.


    "Well you shouldn''t have forced all of us into finding Papa at the first ce." Gboyega says firmly, Deji


    quickly barges in. He sees Ayo really close to her, he couldn''t wait for any exnation and quickly


    concluded that this was all Ayo''s fault.


    "What did you do to her." Deji says swiftly as he angrily grabs Ayo shirt.


    "Me? I didn''t do anything." Ayo pushes Deji out of his way, Tolu sensed that they were going to fight but


    she couldn''t stand up she was still in pain.


    "Why are you people risking her life? She''s a human and you guys are Supernaturals." Dej cries out,


    he hadn''t seen Tolu in this condition before.


    "Risking her life? She was the one that forced us to find Papa, you don''t have to discourage her from


    doing what she clearly loves." Ayo said firmly.


    "You should go Ayo." Tolu said swiftly as she her head gently on the pillow, Ayo couldn''t say anything


    he couldn''t believe that this was the person that gathered all of them, gave them motivation and so on


    to find Papa would be like this.


    "Wow." Ayo said disappointed and walks out of the room, he goes to the reception and sits on a chair,


    he couldn''t leave Tolu all by herself he wanted to make sure she was fine. "Shit." Ayo says as he hears


    the voice of a baby crying, this immediately triggers Ayo as it brings back a lot of bad memories, Ayo


    stands up swiftly running towards the entrance door of the hospital he moved really fast that he had no


    idea he pushed a old man using a wheelchair.


    "Ye!" The old man screams in pain, Ayo quickly turns around to apologize.


    "Sorry Sir." Ayo says, the man was blind this made Ayo concerned cause there was no nurse


    supervising him. "Where are the nurses?" Ayo asked.


    "The nurses here don''t care about me, I''ve been here for over 7years I''m pretty sure the people here


    want me dead." The man says and sighs out, tired of his pathetic life.


    "Let me get you to your room." Ayo says as he gently pushes the wheelchair.


    "Part of me feels like I failed." Tolu says as she opens her eyes, thinking of all her life choices. Deji


    stands up from the chair and sits on the bed.


    "You''ve tried your best, there''s no other thing you can do." Deji whispers to her as he grabs her hand to


    and I handle the crimes." Deji says and kisses the back of her hand, Tolu quickly takes her hand off of


    Deji, she picks up her phone that wasying beside her, she checks her mom''s Instagram profile.


    "Sometimes it just feels like you''ve made the wrong decisions in life." Tolu says and sighs softly


    We''re here." Ayo gets the old man to his room. "Do you want to rx on the bed?" Ayo asked.


    "No, just leave me here." The man says sadly, Ayo turns around to leave the room but didn''t just want


    to leave the poor old man all by himself.


    "Don''t you have any family member that lives around this ce? I could help you get them." Ayo says


    as he shuts the door to the man''s room.


    "My family left me a long time ago." The man says as heughs regretting the choices he made in life.


    "That''s terrible." Ayo sits on one of the many chairs in the room.


    "Nah, I was a terrible person. I deserve it, what about you? What are you doing here?" The man asked.


    "I came to drop a friend here, she''s not okay both physically and mentally. She was like our team


    leader but now that she''s not feeling so fine I feel like I have to step up and take charge but I can''t."


    Said Ayo, he wasn''t ready to give up on finding Papa.


    "Then what''s stopping you?" The man''s asked, his eyes were closed and his saliva was rolling down to


    his shirt from his mouth. Ayo turned around not wanting to say anything but the guilt felt heavy on him.


    "At a time of my life I felt I had everything I always wanted, I had powers, I could do whatever I want but


    there was this thing in my head." He sighs and goes on. "I met ady her name was Rinu, she had a


    middle ss family but she took me in when she saw that I was homeless. Rinu was so nice to me, she


    had dreams and wanted the best for her husband and child." Ayo stops not able to go on, tears


    dropped from his one eye, the old man touches Ayo head he wanted to touch his shoulder but couldn''t


    see.


    "One day I was in her kitchen and this thing in my head wanted to take control of my body, I struggled


    to stop it but I couldn''t. I screamed at the top of my voice and Rinu ran inside while carrying her baby,


    sadly this thing was in control and it shot her and her child." Ayo voice shakens, he couldn''t handle


    what he was feeling. He burst into tears. "And I know you might say it''s not my fault but it is, I can''t get


    it out of my head. I''ve hurt so many people and it keeps on haunting me." Ayo sees a tissue on a table


    and quickly picks it up to clean his eyes, he rxed his back on the chair d that he finally told


    someone what was going on with him.


    "You''re not that bad kid." The man says as he pats Ayo''s head.


    Ayo walks toward Tolu''s room confidently, he sees Deji going in and quickly stops him. "You''re a bad


    person an I hope you''re proud of yourself for what you did." Ayo says swiftly and walks to the room,


    Tolu is sitting on a chair this time.


    "I''m going back home to rally the others so we can find Papa." Ayo says gebtly, as he stands from


    distance.

    "It''s madness Ayo" she tries to stand up but Ayo points back to chair implying that she should rx.


    "I know, part of me is telling me that but Papa needs our help and I''m not ready to give up, thanks for


    bringing us together." Ayo says and smiles, he wanted her to still know they are friends no matter what.


    "You guys should just do one thing for me." Tolu says.


    "Which is?" Ayo was hoping she''ll say she''lle back.


    "Don''t die." She said in a very low tone.


    "I can''t promise you that." He chuckles, waves to her and walks out of the room. Ayo walks out of the


    hospital, he turns around and looks at his reflection in a window he touches his cybeic face. "I got


    this." Ayo says to himself and exhales deeply.

 Chapter 21: FINDING ABAYO

    Chapter 21: FINDING ABAYO


    Gboyega sits beside a sleeping Richard, he wondered what he could do while everyone was busy, he


    felt guilty for noting out to help while in the Gok house he could have prevented all these he


    thought to himself. "What do I do now?" Gboyega had been sitting in the room for over 30minute, he


    tried calling Ayo''s number but it wasn''t going. He heads off to Papa''s office to look for clues while


    searching he sees a strain of hair in a ziplock and picks it up. "Essence." He reads out the title written


    on the ziplock.


    "What is going on?" Linda says as she walks in angry and confused, nothing made sense to her since


    she had met Abayo, she wanted to do some digging by herself but didn''t know where to start.


    "I can......." Linda interrupts Gboyega.


    "I''m confused, are you a criminal? Why are almost all your friends dead? I know you don''t want me


    around even though I thoughting will be fun but at least exin to me." She sounded stressed,


    she was about to crack. Linda clearly hasn''t seen things like this before.


    "Fine, you''ll need to sit down for this." Gboyega says as he pushes a stic chair to Linda.


    "I''ve heard a lot of crazy things but this one is so strange." Linda said, she was shocked after Gboyega


    exined everything to her.


    "I could have defeated Mr and Mrs Mind if I was there, this is all my fault. The best I can do now is find


    some clues." Gboyega keeps the ziplock in his pocket, he had founc nothing else since he had been


    Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    searching, Linda phone vibrates.


    "It''s Abayo, we exchanged numbers while we were ying games." She quickly picks the call, at first


    all she could hear was telling and music sounds butter on she perfectly hears Abayo he sounded so


    stressed and disturb, he said some few words and quickly cut the call. "Abayo said he is in trouble."


    Linda says.


    "Shit, that kid is suppose to get materials for finding Papa." Gboyega bangs a table beside him really


    hard, he was frustrated.


    "He needs our help he told me that he was in a club called Bounty. We could save him maybe that will


    fill in the guilt you''re feeling." Linda was worried about Gboyega, she didn''t like the way he looked and


    talked he was at a point of breaking down.


    "You''re right, I''ll get my car key." Gboyega says. After awhile they both quickly rush into Gboyega''s car


    the club wasn''t far from Papa''s house, Gboyega had hope he could do something and not screw up.


    "Thanks for the help Linda." Gboyega says as he starts the car engine.


    "Yeah, this will give me some time to explore the world." Linda leans toward the window of the car,


    exicted to see what Abuja looks like.


    "Huh?" Gboyega asked, curious to know what''s going on with her.


    "Will you listen this time?" She said sarcastically.


    "Try me." Gboyega exhales and turns off the engine of the car.


    "My aunt never allowed me outside the house, she never even allowed me to do anything always said


    my powers were dangerous and other bullshit. I had to beg toe here hoping to try new things out."


    She faces her head down ashamed.


    "Hey, don''t let anyone tell you your powers are dangerous, you were born with them and they make


    you powerful." Gboyega says as he pats her shoulder, he starts the car engine and zooms off.


    This ce is so amazing!!!!!!!!!" Abayo screams at the top of his voice, he was having fun at a club


    filled with different people partying, Abayo was slightly durnk he had never done something like this


    before in his life, he felt like staying here forever just drinking, partying and not worrying about his


    future to take over his father''s position in the cult. Abayo gets dragged by someone from the center of


    the party, he feared that he was caught be the people he was running from but upon turning around he


    sees that it''s Gboyega and Linda.


    "You dummy, why did you call us when you were only having fun?" Gboyega was confused and pissed,


    he prayed Abayo had a good exnation.


    "Sorry, so while I was getting all the materials needed to find Papa I had to go to different unique ces


    like Tharka forest, Tund fall and witches zone but upon getting to the witches zone I was caught by


    some witches stealing..............." As Abayo was going on, Linda interrupts him.


    "Why did you steal?" She asked, she was enjoying the mission but to her suprise she didn''t like the


    idea of being in a club, she had heard good reviews about it online but she couldn''t handle being stuck


    with different people she didn''t know.


    "The material I stole from them was needed to find Papa, they''ve been haunting me." Abayo exined,


    at first he sounded frightened butter on he wanted to head back to the party, Gboyega spots three


    women wearing hoods that covered their face.


    "Isn''t that them?" Gboyega says as he grabs Linda hand and steps back.


    "They are alot of crazy things in this club, I''m sure it''s one........" Abayo turns around to look and quickly


    shivered, he hides behind Gboyega. "It''s them."


    "Linda, take Abayo to the car. I''ll handle the witches" Gboyega said firmly, he wanted to make sure


    nothing goes wrong with the n. Linda and Abayo run out of the club, she breathes heavily.


    "Why were you even in a club partying?" She shouted at him, pointing out that he was irresponsible.


    "I don''t know, I called you while I was standing outside but the sounds got louder and I just went inside


    and lost control of the person I was told to be." He says confused about making such a silly mistake.


    Minutester everyone starts running out of the club, the whole street was packed with different people,


    everywhere was disorganized some screamed about seeing witches floating up in the air and a fire god


    battling each other. Gboyega quickly runs toward the car.


    "Let''s go." Gboyega shouts as he runs inside the car, Linda sits in the front while Abayo rolls into the


    back. He starts the engine and zooms off from the club. "Those witches are clearly bad bitches." He


    says and exhales out, a foam of firees out of his mouth, Abayo was sensing something strange, it


    didn''t feel right so he quicklt turns around and sees the witches following them.


    "The witches aren''t gone, they are following us!" Abayo shouted.


    Gboyega, Linda and Abayo get to Papa''s house and rush inside, Gboyega mmed the door shut


    gathered different furnitures and pushes it toward the door hoping they have few time to do what they


    need to do to figure out where Papa is. "This won''t stop the witches from getting in." Abayo says as he


    gets really worried and scared.


    "You have a better idea!" Gboyega shouts at the top of his voice.


    "Figure one out, you''re the adult. I don''t want to die." Abayo says and sits on the ground crying. Linda


    moves toward him tofort it.


    "You need to get up Abayo.........." The door and furnitures suddenly explodes knocking the three down,


    the witches float inside the house


    "Give us....... Our peacock feather back." One of the witches say slowly as she streches her hand.


    "What do we do?" Linda asked.


    "We fight." Gboyega says as he struggles to get up


    Shit!" Abayo shouts as he and Gboyega battle against the witches, the witches clearly have the upper


    hand cause they were much more powerful than the two and Linda wasn''t making any effort to help


    them, she hid behind a chair.


    "I don''t want to burn this ce down, you witches should leave." Gboyega begged not wanting to use


    his powers to his ultimate stage. "Linda, can''t you use your light powers to help?" Gboyega steps back,


    he sees Abayo getting hurt and runs toward him.


    "She has light powers? Dark witches can''t handle the light that''s why they don''te out during


    daytime." Abayo shouts, he recited some incantations and the witches body get paralyzed. " I used up


    most of my energy, use your powers Linda." Abayo skin was peeling, he had to use all his strength to


    paralyze powerful beings like witches, Gboyega moves closer to her.


    "It''s simple, just strech.............." A huge soundwavees out of the witches, knocking the others


    down.


    "I''ll handle them." Abayo recites another incantation and a duplicate of him appears, they run toward


    the witches.


    "It''s not hard." Gboyega says, he goes on. "For some it is though, just ess your emotions and let it


    down you." Gboyega whispers to her.


    "That''s hard, all have ever been to was my powers were not suppose to be part of me." She cries out.


    "Don''t think about thet, just focus on the energy in you." Gboyega moves behind her.


    "I got this." Linda says to herself, she closes her eyes and streches her hand. The witches sessfully


    knock down Abayo and move closer to Linda. "I can do this." Linda says firmly and a tiny ball of light


    starts appearing out of thin air, she struggles to keep her hand straight she couldn''t control it.


    "You need a boost." Gboyega heats up his hand and presses the light ball really hard causing it to


    explode blinding the eyes of the witches, they screamed out in pain and suddenly vanish. Linda gently


    opens her eyes.


    "What did it look like?" Linda was disappointed that she couldn''t see what her powers look like after


    using it.


    "It was amazing." Gboyega pat''s her shoulder.


    "I felt some kind of power in me while using it, it felt so good. I haven''t felt like that for a very long time,


    why was mom so gentle and ashamed to use her powers seems like she was really boring." Linda


    says, she head towards the damaged things in the house to pick it up. Gboyega couldn''t handle what


    she said, he couldn''t just let her get away with what she said this time.


    "Gbemi was never like that, she was a woman filled with life, beauty and so on. She always wanted to


    explore the world, help people." He points to the chair and Linda sits he goes on. "She made mistakes


    like every other human being, whatever your aunty told you was bullshit and lies she probably said it to


    you to keep you in her cage." Gboyega sits beside her and sighs, Linda was confused and couldn''t


    grasp the fact that her aunty lied.


    "She was really all that?" She chuckles.


    "She was more than that, she was a goddess I''ll tell you that. She taught me how to use my powers


    and so many things." Gboyega smiled remembering all the moments he had spent with Gbemi. "Sadly,


    she died while trying to save some people. I could have saved her............" Gboyega voice shakens


    and his hands start heating up again.


    "Why do you me yourself for everything?" Linda interrupts him as shey her head on his shoulder,


    Gboyega had no response to her question. "So, what do we do now?" Linda asked.


    "We wait for Abayo to get up." He says, he looked at Linda and smiled, his hands cooled down happy


    to be with his daughter.


    "And that''s how it happened, they are more details but I won''t want to go there." Gboyega exhales


    deeply after exining all that happened to Richard.


    "Crazy." Ngozies out of the shadow. "I couldn''t stay inside, I heard everything."


    "Go back and rest." Richard says and gets up from his chair.


    "There''s no time for that, I hope we''re all ready?" Ayo walks in, after a long walk from the hospital.


    "Ready for what?" Richard rolls his eyes disgusted about Ayo previous attitude.


    "We need to make a stand, no more messing around. We have to find Papa." Ayo said boldly.


    "How''s Tolu?" Gboyega asked concerned.


    "She''s fine, she looks terrible but fine. Any clues in finding Papa." Said Ayo, Gboyega points to a


    fainted Abayo.


    "What happened to him and what happened to the door?" Ayo was confused.


    "It''s a long story." Gboyega sighs.


    "That''s what I know." Oloogun said as he bowed to Fa''izah, Odi stood beside Oloogun andughed


    mockingly happy that Oloogun is failing.


    "I warned you about being friends with that bastard, you seriously believe that Papa is missing." She


    Trials but this time he had offended the gods they worshipped by not providing the soul of the dead


    person. "We can''t waste any of our powers again, out of all those people you met there which one of


    them was the weakest?" Fa''izah asked.


    "Hmm, a human I still have a telepathic link with her after saving her life. She''s at the hospital."


    Oloogun said and stood up.


    "Good, you and the boys should go get her for me. We''ll get the information by force!"

 Chapter 22: HOSTAGE

    Chapter 22: HOSTAGE


    Tolu opens her eyes and finds herself tied down on a tiny bed, she looks around and sees nothing else


    except a door, Fai''zah gently walks in and stares at Tolu in a very creepy way.


    "Where''s Papa?" Fai''zah says softly, Tolu doesn''t know what to say.


    "Where I''m I? What''s going on?" Tolu says as her voice breaks down.


    "Don''t you lie to medy, don''t make me hurt you." Fai''zah says, her eyes were boiling with rage.


    "I don''t know where he is, I have no idea." Tolu cries out.


    "I see you''re injured, let''s y the mental game." Fai''zah says in a menacing way, she moves closer to


    Tolu''s ear and whispers a incantation in her ear, Tolu suddenly stops moving and is in a trance. Fai''zah


    walks out of the room and meets up with Oloogun and Odi who had been watching everything that has


    been going on.


    "Did she confess?" Oloogun asked.


    "No, she left me with no other option than the parasite spell." Fai''zah says.


    "The parasite spell? Really?" Oloogun says, he knew that particr spell was dangerous.


    "Yes, the parasite spell will get the truth for us." Fai''zah talks boldly.


    "And if she isn''t lying?." Oloogun asked.


    "Then let''s hope she can mentally fight it, the gods are angry with us because of your foolish mistake


    don''t try and tell me what to do when you put us in this mess." Fai''zah says firmly and walks out.


    "Ouch." Odi says, squeezes his face and follows Fai''zah.


    Tolu finds herself in a room filled with knives.


    "Fuck." She says and sighs heavily, a version of herself wearing a police uniform suddenly appears in


    front of her.


    "Tolu, it''s nice to see me." The duplicate says in a sarcastic manner.


    "Who are you?" Tolu says, she tries to pick up one of the knivesying on the ground but as she


    touches it all the knives fade away.


    "I''m a parasite, I have one job which is to find something important in your memories but you''re pretty


    messed up yourself Tolu." the Parasite says andughs manically.


    They suddenly find themselves in Balogun''s house. Tolu walks in after graduating from Police


    academy, exicted to tell her father the good news.


    "Dad!" Tolu says and rushes inside, she drops all her bags as she gets inside. She sees a man wearing


    a ck mask holding her dad neck from behind.


    "What is going on dad? Please let him go." Tolu pleads as tears drop from her eyes.


    "Get out of here dear." Balogun says as he sweats and get scared.


    "Please....... Don''t..... Hurt him." Tolu gently moves closer to them, immediately the man brings out a


    knife and stabs Balogun from behind continuously.


    "No!" Tolu yells and runs toward them but the man suddenly vanishes into thin air, everywhere


    suddenly stops moving.


    "Such trauma at a very young age, what happened after that Tolu?" The Parasite says, Tolu and her


    have both been watching this memory.


    "I was there just watching, thinking of what I could do................ The blood kept on gushing out and I


    called the ambnce sadly our house was quite far from other ces, I lost my father." Tolu''s voice


    shakens and drops of tears roll from her eyes.


    "So sad." The Parasite says and rolls her eyes.


    They suddenly find themselves in a burial ground, Tolu stood beside her father''s coffin while Balogun''s


    few family member showed up but after waiting for few minutes they end up leaving, Tolu stood there


    for hours thinking about her father.


    "Mother didn''t show up dad, I messaged her but she probably didn''t see it cause she got a lot of text.


    You didn''t deserve to die like that, I miss you and I vow to try and be like you father." Tolu says and


    everywhere stops moving


    "Hmm, so you''re doing this because of your father?" The Parasite says.


    "No, it''s been my wish to be a officer." Tolu says boldly.


    "Are you sure? Cause when Essence questioned you about this same thing you wanted to stop finding


    Papa." She says firmly.


    "This means I''m telling the truth that I don''t know where Papa is right? Then let me go." Tolu pleads.


    "I''m sorry, I can''t. I still need to go deep, some of you are very dangerous."


    They both find themselves standing in front of Chong coffin.


    "You lost your only friend, you know the funny thing about this is you have no other friend apart from


    Chong just like your father." The parasite says.


    "Stop talking." Tolu says, she covers her eyes.


    "shing forward." The parasite says while rolling her eyes.


    They find themselves at the police station, Tolu and Dayo talk as she''s excited about the promotion.


    "I just know I''m going to get this Dayo, I deserve it." Tolu says happily.


    "Yeah but don''t get your hopes to high Tolu." Dayo says worried that Tolu might not get it.


    "What do you mean? I''ve worked harder more than anyone in this station, most of the people here are


    assholes." Tolu says.


    "This world is a brutal ce." Dayo says softly.


    Timi walks out of the DPO office exicted.


    "What happened in there Timi?" Deji asked.


    "Both of you should not tell anyone but I just got a hint from the boss that I''m getting the promotion."


    Timi whispers.


    "You?!" Tolu yells.


    "Geez." Timi says and steps back a bit.


    "You''ve done nothingpared to me, all you do is wander around with your ugly ass friend and go do


    rubbish with the authority both of you have." Tolu swiftly says and runs to her office, she sits on her


    chair and tears roll down from her eyes. She picks up a photo of her dadying on her desk.


    Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    "I''m trying dad, I''m really trying." Tolu says as her voice shakens.


    "This is another proof that you''re only doing this for daddy." The Parasite moves closer to Tolu.


    "I''m not doing this for my dad." Tolu says and turns around.


    "Listen to yourself! Even I''m concerned, you''re trying to impress a man that isn''t even alive, your father


    isn''t some kind of god." The parasite says, she got really interested with Tolu''s life.


    "You don''t know me." Tolu says firmly.


    "You don''t know yourself to, what do you want Tolu? Who are you?" The parasite says, this question


    hits Tolu in the head as her too has been wondering who she is since she faced Essence in the Gok


    house

 Chapter 23: VILLAINS NIGHT

    Chapter 23: VILLAINS NIGHT


    "When will he wake up?" Richard asked, getting tired of waiting for Abayo to get up. The whole team


    had slept in the living room hoping that they''ll meet Abayo awake but he was still asleep.


    "The witches probably used a sleeping spell on him." Gboyega says as heys on the ground. After


    minutes of waiting, Abayo suddenly jumps up.


    "I will not surrender!" Abayo shouts at the top of his voice, the team quickly run towards him.


    "We''ve been waiting for you, now say some of your incantation and tell us where Papa is." Ayo says


    swiftly, Abayo is still confused about everything going on, he wondered where the witches were and so


    on was going on his mind.


    "I''ll need to consult my father but I''ve not learnt the power of jumping from dimension to dimension so


    we''ll have to wait for him." Abayo says and yawns.


    "Children of these days, they can''t make decisions for themselves." Ngozi says and chuckles softly, the


    others quickly knew the game she was ying.


    "Yeah, when I was your age I was already making my own money." Richard says firmly.


    "I can make my own decisions." Abayo says, he faces his head down ashamed.


    "Then prove it, tell us where Papa is." Ngozi says while smiling.


    "Fine!" Abayo yells, he says some incantations and his eyes glow up in a yellow colour. He started


    floating in mid air.


    "Abayo." Gboyega says and waves his hand towards him, Abayo mind wasn''t in this world again, it was


    in different dimensions searching around for Papa, for older magic users this would have been a easier


    process but Abayo was still learning the routes so this took time.


    "Tolu is in trouble!" Dayo yells as he barges in.


    "If it isn''t you? How did you get here?" Ayo asked, he folds his arm.


    "I''ve dropped Tolu here numerous times, Tolu was kidnapped at the hospital." Dayo says as his voice


    breaks down.


    "What? How?" Gboyega asked.


    "It just happened, I was with her and this group of people wearing red shirts came in, said some weird


    spells and everywhere was dark. Suddenly I woke up and I couldn''t see her again, the CCTV camera


    at the hospital couldn''t even provide anything." Dayo says, tears were on his cheeks he gently used his


    hand to clean it.


    "That''s The Trials." Abayo says from behind, he had finished meditating and heard everything Dayo


    said.


    "Huh?" Ayo said, he was totally confused about everything that is going on.


    "The Trials, my father cult. This guy said they came in wearing red shirts, it''s them." Abayo says in a


    lower tone.


    "What could your father possibly want with Tolu?" Richard asked aggressively.


    "I don''t know, they must think you guys are lying, we need to get her but I don''t know how to get there,


    it''s in the magic world another dimension." Abayo says sadly, a idea quickly pops to Richard head.


    "Wait, I know this might sound a bit extreme but while I still stayed with my parents my mom was


    working on a teleporter device to rece me if I ever go against her, when I went to see her she told


    me she wants me toe to a party at her ce, what if we sneak in and check the teleporter if it


    jumps from world to world." Richard says swiftly.


    "That doesn''t sound like a terrible idea." Gboyega says happily, Abayo nods to the positive liking the


    idea.


    "Why do we have to sneak in? Just go meet your mom and tell her." Ayo says, Ngozi and Gboyega hit


    Ayo on the arm for what he said, Ayo was clueless.


    "I don''t know where you got this idea from but you''ve been a total assholetely." Richard says to Ayo


    firmly as he moved closer to him


    "I''m joining you guys." Dayo says.


    "Sorry you can''t, the most powerful crime Lords will be there and I''m pretty sure some will know that


    you''re a officer, you can''t blow our cover." Richard says and walks out, pissed about what Ayo said to


    him.


    "What did I do wrong?" Ayo asked Ngozi.


    "Stop this." She says pissed and walks out.


    In a shback, Richard is in a van with a group of people that work for his parents, by this time he had


    done different missions for his parents but he was nervous even the men and women with him could


    see it.


    "You are sweating really bad." One of them says.


    "I''m just a little bit nervous, that''s all." Richard says as he tries to brighten up.


    "Maybe you need some fresh air." One of them says, Richard nods and leaves the van, he runs far


    away from it.


    "Save me from my normal depression." Richard says, he brings out a nylon filled with cocaine in it.


    Richard always did before a mission, it helped him to calm down and focused while not feeling


    concerned for others, as he was about to sniff it a old woman passes his side.


    "Hey ma, you''ll probably need to get out of this street." He says quietly, the olddy didn''t bother to ask


    why he said so she quickly ran away.


    "That was nice." Richard says and sighs in relief.


    That night, the team walk down a street in a very slow way, the guys with Abayo were wearing a ck


    and white suit while Ngozi wore a long yellow gown.


    "Good thing you still know your way around this ce Gboyega, we wouldn''t have gotten this suits


    really early." Ayo says softly.


    "Let''s get this over with." Richard says and walks away, Ngozi quickly follows him she was worried


    about his well being.


    "Hey, I know you''re scared about this but you''re going to be fine." Ngozi says softly.


    "I hope, I''m just praying that she doesn''t say I should do any stupid thing for her this time." Richard


    says as he exhales heavily.


    After hours of walking they all finally get in front of Mariam house, a group of guards spot them from a


    distance and quickly run towards them to wee them.


    "Dude, your mom is so rich, look at this ce." Gboyega says as he exhales out.


    "If only she was a good mom." Richard says and leads the team to the house before they got inside,


    Mariam quickly walks out of the house.


    "Hi son, who are they?" Mariam says, she was wearing a night dress cause she hasn''t gotten ready for


    the party.


    "They are my friends, at least I can bring them." Richard says, his voice was shaking and he was


    sweating heavily.


    "Uhh and you brought a teenager?" Mariam says as she looks at everyone of them slowly, sheughed


    disgusted by the friends her son was rolling with but she was fascinated by the way Ayo looked.


    "That''s my son." Ngozi says swiftly.


    "Well, I don''t care about anyone of you except that your robotic friend. He''ll look good as my bodyguard


    for tonight." Mariam says in amanding tone and drags Ayo hand inside the house.


    "Good, she''s distracted all that remains is for us to find the teleporter." Richard says and sighs heavily.


    A guard takes them around the house, after hours of going through different artifacts and trophies of


    Mariam, Richard sees this as a perfect opportunity to get to the teleporter.


    "Where is the teleporter?" Richard asked the guard.


    "Hmmm, I can''t show you so sorry but the boss doesn''t allow it." The guard says softly hoping not to


    piss the boss son.


    "To the boss son? That doesn''t sound fair." Ngozi responds loudly.


    "I''m sure the boss won''t want to hear that." Gboyega says and steps back a bit.


    "Don''t go to her, I''ve already offended her enough I can''t risk dying, let''s go." The guard gulps and


    leads them to a secret room underground, inside the room is filled with different the technological


    weapons, the guard doesn''t talk about the weapons rather he leads them to a huge circr shape


    machine beside the machine is six different colours head bandying on the floor.


    "This is the teleporter." The guard says quietly.


    "Wow! How does it work?" Richard asked, he was upset that his mom actually built something to


    rece him.


    "Those head bands." The guard points. "They are connected to that big portal, there''s a keyboard


    around the portal, you write where you want to go and you teleport there." The guard says swiftly, he


    wanted to get away from here as soon as possible.


    "Thanks." Gboyega says and moves closer to the guard blocking his way.


    "Ku su." Abayo says a incantation and the guard suddenly sleeps off on the ground.


    "Okay, I need to learn magic as soon as possible." Ngozi says astonished by the way Abayo used his


    powers, the three all pick different head bands and wear it, Richard moves close to the machine to set


    the destination.


    "The name of the ce is shrine of the powerful gods." Abayo says to Richard, Richard quickly sets it.


    The teleporter suddenly starts spinning really fast.


    "If we don''t make it out alive, tell my daughter that I............" Gboyega and the two fade away before he


    is able to finish his statement.


    "Now the worst part of the mission, my mother." Richard says and sighs heavily, he looked really down


    so he tried topose himself by faking a smile.


    Hourster Richard remains smiling while he stands beside a elegant Mariam who was wearing a


    golden dress and Ayo was standing at the left as her bodyguard, the Viin party had already started


    and the three have all been going around weing viins from different parts of the world, Mariam


    was quite feared by most of the viins, she had made a huge name for herself and wasn''t ready to


    back down, she meets up with a youngdy who is a huge fan.


    "I''m so happy to be here ma, you''re paving way for we the new female viins." Thedy says and


    squeals.


    "Thank you and here''s my son." Mariam says proudly and points to Richard


    "You''re so lucky to have her as your mother." Thedy says and shakes Richard, after staring at


    Mariam morous face for awhile she walks away.


    "Can you her that son? You''re lucky to have me as your mother." Mariam says boldly.


    "If only you''ll actually listen to me for once in your life." Richard says sadly.


    "And remind me what your choice is? Yes, you have no idea what you want to do." She says and


    waves her hand around


    "You never gave me the opportunity to figure out what I want to do, I never went to school or did


    anything that I wanted, I was busy being you and dad''s project!" Richard says a little bit loud, he tried


    not to raise his voice to loud not to piss his mom


    "A mother always knows what is best for her son!" Mariam shouts at the top of her voice and quickly


    walks away not ready to have this type of conversation with her son, Ayo couldn''t say anything, he just


    stood there confused.


    "Richard........" Ayo tries to talk to him but Richard shoves him off.


    "Just leave me alone and go back to your boss." Richard says and runs off. He runs off to find


    somewhere he can cook off but the whole ce was crowded and most people were trying to talk to


    him for being the boss son, he tried running to the bathroom but is stopped by a young boy.


    "You''re the boss son, I''ve been following your great works for a very long time." The young boy says


    exicted.


    "Thank you, I have to go now." Richard says not ready to have a conversation with anyone.


    "Do you remember the skyscraper incident?" The boy says swiftly.


    "That was a long time ago." Richard could remember that incident vividly, it was one of the things that


    haunted him.


    "A lot of people died there, my mom was there." The boy says as his voice breaks down, Richard


    wanted quickly run away but the boy grabs his hand.


    "You drove me to insanity when my mom died." The boy says angrily, he tightens his arm as he held


    Richard, he wanted Richard to feel pain but knew he couldn''t do anything at this party.


    "I''m not doing this." Richard says and teleports out of the room.


    Ayo wanders around looking for who to stay with, he spots Mariam with a group of viins standing


    beside her.


    "Bodyguard, I''m here!" Mariam shouts at the top of her voice, Ayo quickly joins her standing beside


    Mariam were Josephine ady about same age with Mariam who held a cane that channels bolts of


    light, Ryker a man who has been said to be over hundred years old but maintained the look of a thirty


    years old man due to the curse of a witch, this also granted him numerous powers, Madame a very old


    "Meet Josephine, Ryker, Madame and Crismon. Team, meet Ayo my son''s friend." Mariam says swiftly.


    "Your son really knows how to keep the bestpany." Madame says, her voice was quite deep.


    "Richard is very good at all aspects of his life." Mariam says proudly, she had lied to everyone about


    her rtionship with her son. Mariam walks away to attend to some other visitors.


    "So tell us, what terrible things have you done boy?" Ryker days as he bumps fist with Ayo, Ayo


    couldn''t think of anything, he stammered wondering what he will say but without hesitation his body


    was suddenly possessed.


    "I killed a kid who was looking for food for his mom." He says swiftly, Ayo quickly takes control of his


    body.


    "Wow, I did something like that to before my father kicked me out." Crismon says and apuds.


    "I have to go back to the boss." Ayo says awkwardly, he runs off thinking of what had just happened to


    him.


    "Could Slip be back in control so quick?" Ayo says to himself and sighs, he looks around for Richard


    and after searching for several minutes, he goes to the bathroom and meets Richardying on the


    floor.


    "Richard? What are you doing here?" Ayo says and quickly runs towards him.


    "None of your business." Richard responds rudely, Ayo thinks of what to say for over a minute and sits


    beside Richard.


    "You know something strange happened to me.............." Richard interrupts Ayo.


    "You know it''s always about you, always about what you''re going through, always about your powers


    and all those bullshit." Richard says aggressively and stands up.


    "You didn''t even hear me out." Ayo stands up wanting to defend himself.


    "You never listen to me Ayo, you''re always about yourself and that''s fine if that''s the life you want to live


    but please don''t bring your bullshit and load it on me anymore, we all things were going through.


    Maybe if you take sometime away from yourself you will see that the people around you aren''t doing so


    well." Richard says firmly and walks out angrily.


    Richard grunts and goes back to the party, he avoided eye contact with other people but surprisingly he


    bumps into Bode.


    "Doctor! You''re here." Richard says happily.


    "Yes, your mom forced me toe." Bode says not quite happy to be around this crowd.


    "I lied when I say I was doing well, I''m not fine." Richard says and sits on a chair behind him, Bode


    grabs a chair and sits too.


    "I don''t know what''s going on with me........... I find it hard to figure things out about myself Doctor, I''m


    trying to be strong but I can''t handle it." Richard says boldly, he tried his best to not allow his voice


    break.


    "You don''t have to be strong." Bode says gently.


    "I have to, I''m trying my best not to show any form of weakness in me." Richard says and sighs.


    "I once thought like that too, I smoked and did drugs but Richard our emotions make us strong, let the


    pain flow in you Richard, you can''t keep on hiding away from it." Bode says and softly grabs Richard


    hand. "I''m sure you''ll figure it out, I have to meet up with your mom." Bode says and walks out.


    Ayo wanders around the house looking for Mariam after a group of guards came to get him, they stand


    in front of her door.


    "She''ll get to you." A guard says and they all walk away to attend to other duties, after standing for over


    ten minutes, Ayo gets tired and gently opens Mariam door.


    "Don''t let them see you weak." Mariam says to herself as she looks at herself in the mirror, she uses a


    tissue paper to wipe the tears on her face. Ayo tries to quietly close the door but she spots him. "What


    are you doing here?" She says angrily.


    "I''m sorry, I was..... You were..... Looking...... For me." Ayo stammers as he talks.


    Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    "What is my son like?" Mariam says and moves closer to Ayo.


    "Richard is amazing, he can be stupid sometimes but he is always there for I and the others." Ayo says


    while smiling.


    "Has he ever said anything about me or talked about himself to you?" Mariam asked, she wanted to


    know if her son loved her.


    "I can''t really say buting to think of it I''ve been a shitty friend." Ayo says realizing how selfish he


    has been all these years.


    "Huh, we have to go my speech is starting soon." Mariam says and sniffs, she walks out of the room


    with Ayo.


    In the center of the party, the MC walks in and starts parading around. Everyone gets to their sit


    knowing it''s time for Mariam special speech, Richard, Ayo and Mariam team sits on a different chair


    from the other viins.


    "Let''s wee the boss!" The MC says and everyone gets up to apud for her, Mariam walks in


    gorgeously wearing a morous ck and white gown with gold high heels, she grabs the mic from


    the MC and starts her speech.


    "Viins! What a wonderful time to be here!" She shouts at the top of her voice, everyone continued to


    apud for her, they all loved her. "Thank you so much, it''s not easy being a boss in a men''s


    world......... Before I go on, I''ll like to pay some homage to my husband, a great man who died of a


    dangerous disease........." Mariam scoffs and tears dropped from her eyes, Richard got really angry


    while he was standing.


    "That lying bitch! I saw her killing my father." Richard says to himself silently but Ayo could hear


    everything that he said.


    "I and my husband always talked about how we''ll rule this mafia empire together but sadly..........."


    Mariam goes on, Richard couldn''t stand there and watch her lie, he quickly walks away from the ce,


    Ayo wanted to follow him but felt Richard needed time alone


    Hours passed after Mariam speech and everyone started partying, Mariam wanders around looking for


    her son, she wanted to introduce him to her team, she spots Bode and quickly runs toward him.


    "Where is my son Bode?" She says firmly.


    "I have no idea, you should ask someone else cause I need to get home and meet up with my kids."


    Bode says and walks away, Mariam sighs deeply she then walks toward Ayo who is sitting with her


    friends. "Where is my son?" Mariam says in a very scary tone.


    "I have no idea." Ayo responds.


    "Coming to think about it, where are your other friends?" Mariam asked, she had been suspicious


    about theiring but was to busy to pay attention.


    "They left early." Ayo says very quickly.


    "I told a guard to take them the ce I can''t find him too." Mariam says, she grabs Ayo hand and drags


    him away from the chair. "Boys!!!!!!!!!!!!" Mariam shouts and a group of guards surround her and grab


    Ayo


    "Let''s go boys." Mariam says and walks out if the party, everyone wondered what was going on.


    Richard sits on the ground in the bathroom banging his head on the wall, a wave of different emotions


    hit him, Richard brings out a back of cocaine from his pocket, his hand shakes and drops. Suddenly a


    flood of tears gushes out of Richard''s eyes, he screamed in pain. Richard had never cried like this


    before, for most of his life he had never cried before, the tears continued dropping quickly and a wave


    of energyes out of Richard''s body spreading around the house.


    "I knew it!" Mariam yells as she walks in with her guards to the weapon room. "The head bands are not


    she was pissed.


    "You don''t want to do anything like that boss." Ayo says awkwardly, she gently moves closer to him and


    ps him really hard on the human side of his cheek.


    "You''re useless." Mariam says.


    Ayo''s body was tingling and did a scan around the whole house without his permission but Ayo sees a


    wave of energying towards them.


    "Shit! Activate jetpack!" Ayo says, his robotic back suddenly turns into a key and smokese out of it.


    "It was fun hanging with you Mariam." Ayo says and flies through the ceiling breaking it.


    "Damn it!" Mariam yells as she looks up, she faces her head down thinking of what to do but suddenly


    a wave of energy passes through her and her guards and they suddenly vanish from the house.

 Chapter 24: THE TRIALS

    Chapter 24: THE TRIALS


    "It worked, we''re here." Abayo says as he, Ngozi and Gboyega suddenly appear in front of a big of a


    big gate inside the building is a huge red shrine.


    "So what do we do?" Gboyega asked eager to save Tolu.


    "You guys wait here, they won''t allow you guys enter without ess from The Trials and their


    receptionist. So I have to find a way to get a order from my father." Abayo says swiftly, hides his head


    ban in a pocket and takes off inside. Gboyega steps back a bit from Ngozi.


    "Did I say anything wrong?" Ngozi asked confused about why he was moving away from her.


    "Nothing, I''ll just like to maintain my distance." Gboyega says boldly, this leads to a argument between


    both of them as Ngoziins about his recent attitude towards her.


    Ady wearing a sses leads a group of people towards the shrine.


    "We''re almost there." She says happily. "Too bad were missing the two other special couples, Fai''zah


    really wanted to help them." Thedy say sad about the incident, she had read about their issues and


    Content held by N?velDrama.Org.


    about how they argue a lot, she suddenly spots Ngozi and Gboyega yelling at each other.


    "There they are." Thedy says and runs toward them.


    "I just don''t understand you most times, you''re soplicated." Ngozi says loudly.


    "See who''s calling whoplicated." Gboyegaughs out loud.


    "Your problems are solved!" Thedy yells as she runs towards them.


    "Who are you?" Gboyega says disgusted.


    "I''m Erica, the receptionist of the shrine. I was scared when I didn''t see both of you with the other


    couples. Fai''zah mentioned that you both somehow have powers so you probably got here by


    yourself." Erica says delighted, the two quickly yed along.


    "Of course, my amulet contains some few powers so we just went from home to here." Ngozi quickly


    responds.


    "Let''s go." Erica leads both of them with the other couples to a ck gate, the door of the gate opens


    by it self and a balls of eyes and mouth pop out of the gate.


    "Wee, I hope you find answers to your problems." The voice of the gate sounds manly, everyone


    waved to the gate except Gboyega and Ngozi who were shocked about it, the other couples seemed to


    have been there multiple times.


    "What is going on?" Ngozi whispers to Gboyega.


    "I have no idea, let''s just y along." He whispers back to her


    Inside the shrine are different crearures from different realms, rooms for different purposes.


    "I need to make him fall in love with me." Adyins to a witch in one of the rooms.


    In another room, the witches who faced Gboyega seek therapy from a wizard.


    "That beam of light we saw, it was so traumatizing." One of the witches say as they all cry.


    "And thats how you create your own creatures." Odi says to a group of students in another room as he


    teaches them the acts of magic.


    In a chamber, a certain beast bangs the door wanting to escape. Abayo passes the chamber door and


    waves to the beast.


    "Hi." Abayo waves to the beast, they''ve been friends for quite sometimes now, Abayo walks down a


    hallway and enters a office.


    "Dad." Abayo says and bows down to greet Oloogun who was meditating.


    "How did you get here?" Oloogun asked, he knew his son hadn''t learn the teleportation spell perfectly.


    "Well, after I used up all the k nuts you gave me to transport to other world, I couldn''t stay with those


    people and wanted toe back home......... So I summouned all my powers and I found myself here."


    Abayo says.


    "You used the teleportation spell without me helping you, that''s amazing." Oloogun gets up and hugs


    his son happy that he is finally bing the wizard he wants him to be.


    "You have to show your skills to the students at your ss." Oloogun says exicted, he had waited for


    this moment to show off about his son to Odi and so many others.


    "I hope you guys get back together." Erica says as she leads Ngozi and Gboyega to Fai''zah office,


    Fai''zah is floating in the air she has been waiting for the couples. "Good luck." Erica says and shuts the


    door.


    "Normally I don''t do this but since both of you are rted to the witches council I have to." Fai''zah says


    as she slowlyy her legs on the ground. "I''m listening, what happened?" Fai''zah asked, Ngozi couldn''t


    say anything but Gboyega quickly thought that this was the perfect opportunity to express how he felt.


    "She''s a bad person, she''s self centered and really rude." Gboyega says and gently sits on a chair.


    "I''m a bad person? You''ve been acting strange since we''ve moved together, you barely talk to me and


    yet say we''re all family." Ngozi talks loudly.


    "Well, maybe if you actually stopped hiding in your room every good day and start asking people how


    they feel you might know." Gboyega says aggressively, the argument was getting heated and Fai''zah


    was enjoying it.


    "I''m not like every other person that does that, I genuinely care about you." Ngozi says and sits on a


    chair.


    "If you did, you wouldn''t have called me monster!" Gboyega says firmly ending the conversation, they


    both turn away from each other waiting to hear from Fai''zah.


    "Well done." Fai''zah says, she apuds and chuckles. "You think I''ll have a couple counsel and I won''t


    know how the people I want to counsel look like?" Fai''zah says, the two try to run away but Fai''zah


    waves her hand around and they both float in the air.


    "Now, where is Papa?" Fai''zah says menacingly.


    Oloogun leads Ayo to his ss and walks inside happy, Odi wondered what was going on he hated


    seeing Oloogun happy.


    "The students are learning Oloogun, today is a very important day for them cause I''m teaching." Odi


    says boldly.


    "I know but their fellow mate will like to perform the teleportation spell without any help." Oloogun says


    proudly, the whole ss gasp the spell was really hard and wasn''t in their level yet.


    "Make me proud son." Oloogun says and he pushes Abayo to the center of the ss.


    "Hi." Abayo says awkwardly.


    "Where is Papa?!" Fai''zah shouts at the top of her voice, she tightens her hold on them and they both


    scream in pain especially Gboyega.


    "We don''t know anything." Ngozi cries out, Fai''zah slowly moves toward Ngozi and stares at her


    amulet.


    "Your amulet! One of a kind, too bad you''re holding yourself down and you can''t ess your full


    power." Fai''zah says fascinated that a young girl like Ngozi could have such rare magical artifact. "If


    you tell me where Papa is, I can teach you how to use your amulet and be a master just like me."


    Fai''zah says, she was already getting desperate.


    "I''m sorry but I can handle it just fine." Ngozi says, Tina suddenly appears behind Fai''zah.


    "Let''s y bitch." Tina says as she jumps toward Fai''zah.


    "We''re waiting boy." Odi says, the whole ss have been waiting for Abayo to cast the spell.


    "Ki...... Ma....... Su........" Abayo tries saying the incantation, he stutters and sweats heavily, Odi quickly


    burst intoughter.


    "This is the boy that you said knows his incantation, pathetic." Odi says and continuesughing,


    Oloogun drags Abayo out of the ss disappointed.


    "You''re such a disgrace, how did you get here? Don''t make me ask one more time." Oloogun says as


    his eyes glow up.


    "Run!" Gboyega shouts out as he and Ngozi leaves Fai''zah office, he ms the door. "How long do you


    think your friend will be able to hold her down?" Gboyega asked as he breathes out.


    "I don''t know but let''s quickly find Tolu." Ngozi says.


    "Ma zu ka tu." Oloogun chants a incantation as he moves towards them, Ngozi and Gboyega


    suddenly body suddenly freeze. "Both of you are already inside." Abayo says and reverses his spell.


    "We need to get Tolu out of here." Gboyega pleads.


    "I can''t, you guys know where Papa is." Oloogun says.


    "You know we don''t, I saw you when you saved her life you actually cared, so I''m begging you to


    please take us to her. We''re not leaving without her." Gboyega says boldly, after considering the


    consequences, Oloogun sighs softly.


    "This might ruin my reputation and post here but I can''t just let her die." Oloogun says.


    Abayo walks to his dad''s office feeling disappointed and ashamed, he couldn''t go back to ss cause


    he''ll be the joke of the century, he stops at the beast chamber.


    "Hi dude, it''s been a terrible day." Abayo says to the beast, the beast groans and Abayoughs unlike


    the other wizards and witches he could understand what the beast was saying. "Yeah, it''s my dad


    again."


    "Hurry up." Oloogun runs with dashing speed as he leads Ngozi and Gboyega to Tolu.


    "Can''t you just teleport us there?" Gboyega asked.


    "Then Fai''zah will be able to detect form of magic, she''ll get where and stop us." Oloogun says swiftly,


    Ngozi moves closer to Gboyega.


    "Hey, when did I call you a monster?" Ngozi asked, she was quite curious.


    "The first day you came to Papa house, that word didn''t sit well with me I''ve been called that thousands


    of time." Gboyega says and sighs.


    "I''m sorry, I was in a dark ce when I saw you that day, I hope we can work on being friends." Ngozi


    says, after she hade out of her trip from her amulet, she was trying to be a better person to others.


    "We''re not friends, we''re family but let''s still pretend like we don''t care about each other." Gboyega


    says and they both chuckle softly.


    "We''re there!" Oloogun says and barges inside a room, Tolu isying on the bed but sweating heavily.


    "The parasite." Oloogun says, he quickly moves to.her and recites a incantation to her ear.


    "Fuck!" Tolu says as she wakes up, she looks around and is d to see Gboyega and Tolu. They help


    her get the rope off her body. "Guys!" Tolu says and hugs them, happy they took her away from her


    nightmare.


    "Get out of here." Oloogun says and runs off before he is caught helping them. They quickly get up and


    walk pass the hallway they couldn''t move with speed cause Tolu was feeling quite dizzy.


    "Nice one." Odi says as he appears in front of them, he ps his hand together causing a massive


    soundwave, the wave separates Gboyega from the girls and he finds himself in a room filled with


    different magical artifacts.


    "Damn it." Gboyega says, he grunts and stands up he then goes through some of the artifacts, he sees


    a shinning golden crystal and picks it up.


    "This might be useful." Gboyega says to himself and puts the crystal in his pocket. Hees out of the


    room and sees Huffcupp and Blitz battling with Fai''zah and Odi. He then sees Ngozi and Tolu hiding at


    a corner, he quickly joins them.


    "What do we do now?" Tolu asked, she was scared she was going to get captured again and


    experience the parasite one more time. Fai''zah and Odi sessfully defeat the imaginary friends and


    slowly walk towards the team.


    "Stay away from us or else I''ll break this." Gboyega says, he brings out the crystal from his pocket he


    had no other idea of what else they could do.


    "Don''t break that, it''s very important." Fai''zah pleads.


    "Well, since you say it''s important." Gboyega says and smirks, he hits the crystal on the ground really


    hard, the crystal cracks and a ray of light covers Gboyega, Tolu and Ngozi.


    "No! They broke the future crystal those things only grow once per year." Fai''zah cries out. A gigantic


    green coloured beast who has been causing rampage around the shrine suddenlyes toward


    Fai''zah and Odi with full speed.


    In a future scene, Gboyega body is covered with mes and a dragon flies around him. He had control


    over the fire and dragon, a old man walks toward him and bows.


    "Worship the Elemental." The man says loudly.


    In a future scene, Tolu is wearing a white coloured leather super suit and is joined by other people with


    different suits too, they walk towards a group of citizens.


    "Show us mercy." The citizens say scared.


    "Let''s kill them." Tolu says swiftly.


    In a future scene, a man who''s face isn''t showed runs away from something strange in the forest, he


    then trips on the ground and this particr thing gets closer to him. Ngozi suddenly walks in wearing a


    purple gown and this time she didn''t have her amulet on, she stretches her hand towards the thing and


    chants some incantation killing the thing.


    In the present, the three suddenly wake up and see that the shrine has been destroyed. "What


    happened here?" Ngozi says as she looks around.


    "I and a beast happened." Abayo says from behind. "I released a deadly friend to handle the Trials."


    Abayo says and smiles, he brings out his head band from his pocket and gives it to Tolu.


    "So when next?" Gboyega asked.


    "I don''t know but soon, I''m going to get out of here and try to experience my own life for once." Abayo


    says as he smiles.


    "What about your dad?" Ngozi asked, she was worried.


    "I was already a disappointment, say hi to Linda for me." Abayo says as he waves to them.


    "I will." Gboyega responds.


    Back in Mariam.house, Richard walks to the tech room surprised that no one is in the house. Ngozi,


    Gboyega and Tolu suddenly appear in front of him.


    "Guys!" Richard says and runs toward them, d that they are back. "Where is Abayo?" Richard


    asked.


    "He stayed but he told us the name of where Papa is." Ngozi responds.


    "Good, no one is here for reasons I can''t exin so let''s take this teleporter home." Richard says


    exicted, they were one step away to finding Papa.


    "I can''te, I know you guys want to know why but I can''t exin. I''ll board a bus and head to my


    grandma cey." Tolu says.


    In a white room, Essence watches everything that is going on and chuckles. Papa isying on the


    ground beside him.


    "They areing for you, no matter what you do you can''t just stop them." Papa says and chuckles.


    "Then I''ll make them join me." Essence says.


    "What do you mean?" Papa questioned him.


    "You''ll see. Readers, it''s been a long ride but I''ll advise you to stay tuned the dramas are about to kick


    off after several chapters of stupid character centric story, it''s almost my turn to rule." Essence says


    andys out a viinousughter.

 Chapter 25: JOURNEY BACK HOME

    Chapter 25: JOURNEY BACK HOME


    "Grandma." Tolu says as she knock on the door of a upstairs house very early in the morning, she had


    left Abuja and went to her dad''s vige to cool her mind off most of the things she had seen, she also


    wanted to seek advise from her Grandmother. A old woman using a walking stick while wearing a


    wrapper around her body opens the door, within a second Tolu hugs the woman.


    "I''ve missed you Grandma." Tolu says, her voice was breaking down.


    "I''ve missed you too, what happened? You don''t look alright." Grandma says worried. Immediately Tolu


    got inside all her little cousins were still asleep so she was taken to a room to rest cause she looked


    really tired.


    "We have a lot to talk about." Tolu says, she sits on the bed.


    "After you rest." Grandma says softly andys Tolu head softly on a pillow.


    Tolu falls asleep within a minute, she suddenly had different dreams of her winning trophies, money at


    the station. One particr dream, Tolu is awarded a car and the team alle out of nowhere to


    celebrate with her.


    C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    "Guys!" Tolu says, she runs towards them. "I won a car." Tolu yells happily, the team couldn''t move


    except Ayo.


    "Why weren''t you there?" Ayo asked sadly.


    "What?" Tolu asked, she was confused, suddenlu the team''s heads all explode. Tolu screams all their


    bloods covered in her body.


    "No!" Tolu yells as she wakes up, she checked the time and it was already noon. She gently stands up


    and looks through her window, she sees her cousins all ying outside while her grandma sits on a


    chair staying around the balcony. She never got to know much about her Grandma like most of the


    people in the vige, she didn''t even know her name the only thing she knew about her was that she


    was a farmer and she supplies food to the people at the vige.


    "Let''s get this over with." Tolu says, she sighs heavily thinking of the trouble her cousins would be to


    her, she leaves her room and goes outside. Her cousins would had all been waiting for her to wake up


    all run towards her to hug her, some of them were biting.


    "We''ve missed you." One of her cousins says, she couldn''t identify who was talking cause they were all


    giggling.


    "We came to spend the weekend with Grandma." Another of her cousin says, her Grandma quickly


    "Let her go, she needs some strength." Grandma says as she waves her can around them, the children


    all giggle and run away. Tolu struggles to get up


    "Those dangerous animals." Tolu says, Grandma helps her get up.


    "I''m already uses to them, so what''s wrong with you?" Grandma asked, she walks back to her chair


    and sits down.


    "What was my dad like to you?" Tolu swiftly says.


    "Your dad......" Grandma says and chuckles. "He wasn''t perfect that''s for sure, he had secrets like


    everyone does............" Tolu interrupts her Grandma


    "I just want to honour him, I watched my father died and I couldn''t do anything to save him after I''ve


    seen him suffer for so many for taking care of me. I want to honour his legacy, now I''m.just confused


    about my own identity." Tolu says.


    "You don''t owe anyone any damn things this is your life and you only have it once. Do whatever you


    want to do." Grandma says talking from experience.


    "Well, it''s good to be with family." Tolu says, she sighs in relief.


    "You don''t have anyone you consider family in Abuja?" Grandma asked.


    "My best friend diedst week so it''s pretty hard for me." Tolu says and goes inside the house.


    Hourster, everyone gathers in the dinning getting ready to eat lunch, there''s a lot of noise cause of


    the kids. "I wrote a speech about family for my homework." A young girl says, she brings out a sheet of


    paper from her pocket and stands up. Tolu smiles, happy to hear the speech but she suddenly sees the


    dead body of Gboyega sitting beside her.


    "No!" Tolu yells and covers her eyes, her cousins quickly run towards her.


    "Are you okay?" One of them says.


    "Yeah, just a slight headache." Tolu says awkwardly, the young girl scoffs and starts talking.


    "What is family? Family are people that are always there for us, people who care about us and are


    willing to do anything to protect us. Family doesn''t have to be by blood but they are people who will


    stand by us,fort us, listen is and we can''t stop thinking about them............" The young girl goes on


    but Tolu''s mind immediately goes to her team she left.


    "Family." Tolu quietly says to herself and exhales deeply.

 Chapter 26: ESSENCE PART2

    Chapter 26: ESSENCE PART2


    "So Abayo said Papa is in a ce called the white world, all we have to do now is type it on the


    keyboard and take off." Gboyega says as his body shakes, it was evening as they all decided to take a


    break to cool their mind off.


    "Where did all of you go Ayo? At the party?" Richard asked, what happened had still been disturbing


    him.


    "Wasn''t that you? A huge wave of energy wasing our way, I picked up it before it came to me and


    Text ? by N0ve/lDrama.Org.


    escaped." Ayo says swiftly.


    "I''m that powerful." Richard says to himself proudly and chuckles.


    "Let''s focus guys, are we ready? Ngozi asked, she looked at everyone of them they were quite scared.


    "I wish I coulde with you." Linda says as she gentlyes out of hiding.


    "I''ll be right back guys." Gboyega moves to Linda. "Nothing is going to happen." Gboyega kneels as he


    talks to her.


    "I don''t want to lose you too." Linda says, she hugs Gboyega tightly not wanting to let go.


    "I''m going to be fine but you can''te, it''s dangerous and someone needs to stay at home." Gboyega


    says softly, he slowly moves away from her and joins the team. "Let''s go." Gboyega says and sighs


    deeply. They all wear the head bands and grab a extra for Papa, Richard''s set it and they all suddenly


    vanish.


    They all suddenly find themselves in a white room filled with nothing, they all wander around for a bit


    looking for cluse but they can''t find anything. All of a sudden Papa appears floating in the air was the


    ck and white wolfs around him.


    "Papa!" Ayo says and runs toward Papa but huge wave pushes him back to the team and Essence


    suddenly appears beside Papa.


    "You guys don''t seem to get it, leave me alone! You all will never understand." Essence says firmly.


    "What we understand is that you''re keeping a poor old man hostage, it''s not fair." Ngozi says softly, she


    gently moves closer to him.


    "Old?" Essence chuckles really hard. "You don''t know anything about this man."


    "We''re not leaving without him." Richard says confidently.


    "Readers! I think it''s time you know a little bit more about the viin of this story." Essence says and


    team.


    "I need powers, it''s not easy living in a world where there is constant fight between people with powers


    and humans that are pathetic." Essence pleads in front of Papa, he had just lost his father after a


    Supernatural killed him, Essence managed to escape but suddenly bumps in with Papa.


    "I would like to help you, I''m not a supernatural but I can still help you out." Papa says gently.


    "Really? How? I need anything even if it''s telekinesis I''ll take what I can get, we''re all trying to survive."


    Essence pleads, he was desperate.


    "Fine, we start next week. What''s your name?" Papa asked.


    "Elliot, it''s Elliot." Essence swiftly says, happy that he is going to be a Supernatural.


    A week passed, Papa and Essence had gotten closer, Essence was always with him and Papa treated


    him like a son. It was finally time for Essence to gain his powers at first he was scared but remained


    positive. Papa leads him to a office and John the owner of Cale factory meets up with them.


    "Is this him?" John says as he gulps his saliva.


    "Yes John." Papa says and the three enter the building, in front of them is a huge machine that has the


    shape of a oven.


    "Is this it?" Essence asked as he steps back a bit scared.


    "It''s okay." Papa says, he drags Essence to a corner tofort him. "I know you''re scared, everyone


    gets really scared when they do things like this but I can assure you that you''re going to be just fine."


    Papa says and hugs Essence.


    "I trust you." Essence says.


    "You can always trust me." Papa says, he let''s go of Essence. Essence gently walks inside the


    machine and finds himself in a white ce but he could hear the voice of John and Papa.


    "Are you ready?" John says.


    "It''s going to be fine." Papa says.


    "Yes, I''m ready." Essence says swiftly, he imagined the type of life he could live if he had powers and


    now that he had someone like Papa in his life he could be quote a happy person, Essence hears a


    sudden explosion.


    Essence opens his eyes, everywhere was destroyed and burnt up in mes, he looks around and sees


    a burnt body of Johnying on the ground.


    "What happened here?" Essence says as he looks around confused, he was naked. He heard voices


    of numerous people talking all at once. "Shit!" Essence cries out, he faces the burnt machine and talks


    to it.


    "Stop it, who are you people reading?" Essence asked himself, he heard more voices and he quickly


    runs away from the factory.


    Months had passed since Essence ran away from the factory, he had gone to the ce where he met


    Papa but couldn''t find him after awhile he stopped searching for Papa feeling Papa might have died


    during explosion. Essence had nowhere to go, he couldn''t talk to anyone cause he believed the world


    he was living was fake.


    "The world is fake! We''re all being watched by the great gods of the sky!" Essence shouts at the top of


    his voice, Essence had already moved on with his life preaching about how the world they live is fake,


    he carried a cardboard and waves it around the street, he was already known by the people and called


    "Craze Man.". Essence sees a man passing his side and grabs him.


    "Can you see it? Can you hear them? Feel them? They can take us out anytime they want." Essence


    says swiftly.


    "Kuro!" The man says in Yoruba and runs away.


    "I''m warning all of you, none of you are listening." Essence cries out, a ck car parks in front of him


    and ady wearing a suites out of it.


    "Hello! We know you''re going through a lot and I wish to help you." Thedy says firmly. A group of


    huge men get down from the car, Essence knew they were taking him to a mental home cause this


    wasn''t the first time he has been chased.


    "I''m not going, there''s no need to get better when everything around me isn''t real." Essence cries out,


    the men don''t listen to him. They quickly grab his hands, Essence struggles to escape after tussling his


    head a disoriented voice suddenly hits Essence mind.


    "I just wish your hands will burn." Essence says and snaps his finger, the hands of the men suddenly


    start melting as fire covers their hands, they all scream in pain and thedy runs away scared. "How is


    that......." Essence stays far away from them and wonders how he did that.


    "Take me far away from here." Essence says and snaps his finger, a tidal wave of wind suddenly blows


    around the street and Essence vanishes. He finds himself at a alley.


    "How did I do that? What voice did I hear?" Essence says to himself confused. "Take me to Papa."


    Essence says and snaps his fingers, wishing to be with him but nothing happens.


    "Dammit, I wish I could just he with Papa or John, someone should exin this to me." Essence cries


    out and snaps his finger again, all of a sudden he finds himself at the Cake Factory, he looks around


    and nothing has quite changed there even John''s body was stillying on the floor decayed.


    "Come back to life John." Essence says and snaps his fingers, his hands immediately start to peel off


    cause he hasn''t fully mastered his powers and pulling a stunt like that takes a lot of energy, he cries out


    in pain, within a minute John suddenly opens his eye and his decayed skin starts to peel off to a newer


    one.


    "What I''m I doing here? What happened?" John cries out as he is really scared seeing Essence


    standing before him.


    "You''re okay, I brought you back to life." Essence slowly says, the same disoriented voice whispers


    something to him about John. "You''re hiding something." Essence says menacingly.


    "I''m not, I''m just shocked." John says swiftly as he peels off his old skin.


    "Don''t y smart." Essence says and slowly moves closer to John.


    "I''m not ying smart." John quickly steps back a bit.


    "Show me what he is hiding." Essence says loudly and snaps his fingers, John soul suddenlyes


    out of his body with a blue colour, Papa gently approaches him who is also in a blue colour.


    "I can''t do it Papa, it''s dangerous." John says and turns around.


    "Please, everything is going to be fine." Papa says gently.


    "You''re asking me to infuse multiple bloods of different powerful supernaturals into one young boy, it''ll


    kill me." John says concerned.


    "The boy life is pretty worthless after all, I just need to confirm whether this can work. Let''s do it for


    science." Papa says.


    Essence screams out in pain, as his powers couldn''t hold such memory that long again and John soul


    returns to him.


    "Where is Papa?" Essence says firmly in a very scary tone.


    "I don''t know, I''ve never been to his house before." John says, tears had filled his eyes.


    "Take me to Papa." Essence says and snaps his fingers, nothing happens. He repeated the same


    sentence constantly but nothing happens, his hands began to peel off cause his powers couldn''t find


    Papa. Essence thought of a lot of things and heard different voices again.


    "You''re alive Elliot, you can use your powers for good." John says trying tofort him.


    "You don''t get it, nothing is real to me!" Essence cries out. "I don''t know what is real." He slowly says.


    He then looks at John in a very creepy way.


    "I curse you with back pain John." Essence says and snaps his fingers. "I''m going to do anything to find


    you Papa, I promise." Essence says to himself.


    The team suddenly fall to the ground after seeing everything that had happened to Essence.


    "Essence." Ayo tries to talk to him.


    "Don''t patronize me! This man ruined my life, he even had the guts to send some bunch of heroes to


    find me. I never felt anything, feelings, everything was fake............ I had no essence." Essence says


    sadly.


    "Let us help you." Richard softly says.


    "I don''t need anyone''s help." Essence says to Richard and snaps his fingers, a tape suddenly appears


    in the hand of Gboyega and the title is The sad life of Chong. "You all should watch that when you get


    home but Papa isn''t leaving this ce." Essence says and as he''s about to snap his fingers, different


    bullets from a distance hits his hands.


    "Ahh!" Essence cries out in pain.


    "I''ll like to see you snap those fingers." Tolu says, as she quickly runs toward the team.


    "You came?" Gboyega says while smiling, Papa suddenlynds on the ground and the wolfs around


    him fade away.


    "You won''t stop me." Essence cries out, both his hands were bleeding and had holes.


    "Let''s go!" Ngozi shouts at the top of her voice.


    In Papa''s house, Linda wanders around the living room worried about her dad and his friends then


    suddenly the team all appear in the living room behind her.


    "Gboyega." Linda says and runs toward him to hug him.


    "I''m d to be back, go to your room things might get a little bit nasty." Gboyega says swiftly and Linda


    runs along.


    "You''re that cruel." Ayo says to Papa.


    "Don''t let us jump to conclusion." Richard says confused about the whole thing, Tolu notices the tape


    Gboyega is holding and reads the title.


    "That tape? Why is Chong name written on it? y the tape." Tolu says firmly.


    "Tolu........" Gboyega tries to reason with her.


    "y the tape!" Tolu interrupt him.


    "Just y the damn tape." Ngozi says as she uses her hand to touch her hair. Gboyega brings out the


    tape but a light starts shinning from it and it sucks all of them inside.

 Chapter 27: THE SAD LIFE OF CHONG

    Chapter 27: THE SAD LIFE OF CHONG


    In China, a very young boy is running away after he managed to escape a fire outbreak, the cloth he


    was wearing was burnt by fire and he didn''t even bother to look at the road, he ran with full speed until


    a car hits him and he knocks down.


    The boy slowly opens his eyes and finds different people of about the same age looking at him, he


    quickly gets up and they all get scared running from him, a man then walks up to him.


    "Boy, where do you live?" The man asked.


    "There was a a fire outbreak........... I saw all my family die.......... With my own eyes but I escaped." The


    boy gently talks.


    "Don''t worry, you''ll find a home soon." The man says softly and walks away. The young boy gets up


    from the chair he was sitting on and walks around, everyone around him seemed to have had their


    friends except one kid who was standing alone.


    "Are you new?" The boy asked the other kid standing.


    "No, I''m Ben. What about you." Ben asked.


    "I''m Chong, what is this ce?" Chong asked and breathes out deeply.


    "I hope you''re a Supernatural, the man owns this ce will take us to a adoptive center or a event


    where we have to showcase our powers and someone takes us home." Ben says swiftly.


    "My powers aren''t really that good." Chong says sadly.


    "Don''t worry, I''m sure you''ll get a home soon." Ben says.


    Months passed and event after event Chong wasn''t picked, it didn''t really matter to him cause Ben was


    still around, till one day Chong wakes up and Ben wasn''t sleeping beside him as usual.


    "Ben?" Chong says and looks around.


    "Ben left early this morning, I can''t keep on keeping you while new batchese. If you''re not picked


    by next month then I have to let you go." The man says and walks away.


    A monthter, Chong has been picked by Papa and after awhile of processing his papers and all. Papa


    takes Chong home.


    "Come on." Papa says as he leads Chong inside. Chong looks around and wasn''t still feeling


    "Does any other person live here?" Chong asked.


    "No, how long can you keep people hidden?" Papa asked swiftly.


    "I don''t really use my powers...... but let''s say... Ten minutes." Chong voice shakens.


    "You''re going to need to work on that, we''re going try to extend it to hours then days and maybe


    permanently." Papa says.


    "I don''t think I can do that." Chong says confused looking at his arm.


    "I wasn''t asking, you''re going to do it." Papa says and walks away, Chong sits on a chair wondering if


    he made a good choice toe here, Papa sounded so nice when he wanted to im him but now he


    just looks like someone that wants to end his life.


    Years passed and Chong spent days training with his powers, he''ll constantly stay in his room


    meditating and as he grew older his powers were getting stronger day by day, his powers grew and


    finally did it. He hid Papa from the world as he was told. One particr day, Papa takes him to a forest


    far away from the city and in the middle of the forest is three different cabins.


    "Why are we here?" Chong asked, he was scared of Papa, he had seen this man do terrible things


    "You''ll see." Papa says and they both enter the house, Mashee''aes out of a room and rushes to


    hug her husband.


    "Honey! I''ve missed you." Mashee''a says.


    "Me too, this is Chong and he was the one I told you about." Papa says and drags Chong closer to


    Mashee''a.


    "So you''re going to keep me hidden from the world?" Mashee''a asked.


    "Yeah.......... I don''t.........." Papa quickly interrupts Chong who doesn''t know what''s going on.


    "Why don''t you make tea for us dear?" Papa swiftly says, Mashee''a nods and runs off to the kitchen.


    "You have a wife? I''m keeping you hidden permanently, I don''t think I can do that for another person, it


    doesn''t work like that." Chong begs.


    "You will do it, you''ll try." Papa says quietly.


    "I will die." Chong says as tears filled his eyes.


    "You won''t, I have a friend who can help you." Papa says and walks away, Chong knew he was in


    trouble and he was living with a psychopath, different thoughts filled his head. He nned to escape.


    Years passed, Chong followed Papa''smand and hid Mashee''a from the world too, Chong also did


    different jobs to gain funds, he had a private ount that no one knew about and always kept money in


    it waiting for it to be enough for him to start a new life somewhere far away from Papa. One day after


    Chong left for work, Papa who didn''t know when he left was looking for him around the house.


    "Chong!" Papa looks around and goes to Chong room, he searches his room and opens his cab he


    then sees a note full of tellers, Papa thought to himself that Chong was nning to escape and thought


    of what to do.


    "I''m back." Papa says as he enters the house with Oloogun, he had been gone for over a month.


    Chong slowly approaches Papa.


    "Wee back sir." Chong says softly.


    "This is my friend that will help you with your powers." Papa says and points to Oloogun.


    "My name isn''t necessary, let''s just get this over with and give you that extra life." Oloogun says swiftly,


    a bottle of pink coloured water suddenly appears in Oloogun hand and he gives it to Chong, as usual


    Chong is skeptical about taking it cause he feared what Papa could do.


    "There''s nothing bad in it." Papa says, Chong knew that Papa won''t want him dead and he actually saw


    no bad idea in living longer so he drinks it.


    "Now that you''ve drank it, the option also gives me control over you." Papa says swiftly with a smirk.


    "What?" Chong says.


    "You think I didn''t know you were nning to escape, you''re not that smart." Papaughs out loud.


    "I hate you." Chong says angrily and with dashing speed runs towards Papa to attack him.


    "Sleep." Papa says softly, Chong falls on the ground and sleeps off.


    "This isn''t right." Oloogun says.


    Many years passed and Chong slowly began to ept his date, after he had hit Ngozi with a car, he


    carries her inside the car and began to question why Papa was bringing different people that he didn''t


    know into his house.


    "Why are you doing this?" Chong asked.


    "Doing what?" Papa pretends to not understand what he was talking about.


    "Stop ying dumb, you took Ayo in after you submitted his name to The Organization for the


    experiment and now you''re just randomly epting people into your house." Chong says.


    "Can''t you see thisdy amulet? It''s rare and not something you can just find, I need all of them to help


    me out in case you die, I have enemies." Papa says, he turns around and faces the window of the car.


    "What gives you the idea that they''ll stay?" Chong chuckles.


    "They will, I''ll make sure of that, just make sure you keep them hidden from the world." Papa says


    boldly.


    Years passed and Papa watches the team leave his house. He never anticipated this that they''ll move


    on and get better, Chong stands behind Papa.


    "Too bad." Chong says and walks away


    Two monthster, Chong is leaving a restaurant and he sees Tolu walking majestically in a police


    uniform.


    "Hot." Chong says and whistles.


    "Excuse me." Tolu says and faces Chong.


    "I''m sorry, you just look really good in that uniform." Chong says swiftly.


    "Huh, you''re bold." Tolu says and smiles.


    Years passed, Chong is on his bed as blood gushes out from his mouth. He couldn''t control his powers


    anymore and they were weakening his body day by day, Papa stood beside him thinking of what he


    could do.


    "You........ Did........ This to me." Chong says slowly as he coughs out blood from his mouth, tears filled


    his eyes and a deep moment of regret hits his mind. "You''ll suffer for this, I promise." Chong says.


    The tape spits the team and Papa out back to the sitting room, Tolu without hesitation gets up and


    ps Papa.


    "You killed my friend!" Tolu cries out as tears filled her eyes.


    "Tolu, move away!" Ayo yells as he point his ster directly at Papa''s head. "You did that to me?


    Submitted my name for the experiment." Ayo voice breaks down.


    "Ayo." Papa raises his hand and breathes heavily, praying that he doesn''t die.


    In the middle of a forest, someone knocks on the door of Mashee''a cabin, Mashee''a opens the door,


    her belly was huge this time.


    "Hello, I don''t think I know you." Mashee''a says, she was expecting Papa.

    Chapter 28: WE CAN BE HEROES


    "I can exin, don''t hurt me." Papa pleads.


    "At least let''s hear him out." Richard says, he runs toward Ayo and pushes the ster.


    "I have a wife........." Tolu interrupts Papa.


    "Is that it? We know." Tolu says and fakes a smile.


    "Let him finish." Gboyega says tired of everything that is going on.


    "She means the world to me and I''ll do anything to protect her but now that Chong is dead, she''s in


    danger and I fear Essence will get to her." Papa voice shakens and tears filled his eyes, the team have


    never seen him like this before, Ngozi and Richard immediately start to feel pity for him. "She''s in


    danger and I can''t save her alone.... I can''t, I''m begging all of you I need help, if that''s thest thing


    you''ll ever do for me." Papa pleads, he uses his hand to clean his tear filled eyes. Toluughs


    sarcastically and slowly walks up to Papa.


    "Fuck you!" Tolu yells and walks out.


    "I''ll get Linda." Gboyega says disappointed and walks out too. Ayo looks into Papa eyes deeply, he felt


    anguish and pain.


    "I trusted you." Ayo says and walks out, Ngozi and Richard remain standing looking at Papa.


    "We need to stop the others, we can''t just let him stay like this." Ngozi says swiftly, her and Richard


    quickly run to the hallway to catch up with the others. "Stop!" Tolu yells.


    "We have to help Papa." Richard says, they all stare at him and Ngozi.


    "Papa? Why would we want to help Papa?" Tolu says in disgust.


    "Cause this isn''t about Papa, it''s about thisdy who needs help." Richard says.


    "She can''t suffer for Papa''s crime guys." Ngozi says, the three stare at each other and Tolu sighs.


    "Fine, let''s just get this over with." Tolu says and walks to the sitting room.


    "Well, I know I don''t have a say in this so........." Gboyega walks inside, Ngozi joins them while Richard


    tries to convince Ayo to join them.


    "I know it''s hard for you." Richard says, he moves closer to Ayo.


    "You know I won''te." Ayo says.


    "I know but do this for me, use it to make up for all the bull shit you''ve done to me in the past." Richard


    says swiftly hoping he can bring a powerhouse to join them.


    "Whatever." Ayo says and walks in, Richard dances around the hallway happy that they are doing this.


    After meeting up with Papa, he gives them a briefing of what is about to go down.


    "Mashee''a lives far from this ce, very far so we''re going to have to take my bus, it has some special


    inputs in it so we''ll get there really fast." Papa says swiftly.


    "Why don''t I just take us there or use the teleporter?" Richard asked.


    "Cause there''s a magic field around the ce, if you try to sneak there then your body explodes. My


    friend Oloogun helped me with that." Papa says boldly


    "I don''t think that holds up anymore, we kind of damaged that friendship." Gboyega says and chuckles


    a bit remembering how the beast caused havoc in the shrine.


    "We don''t want to take any risk, let''s take my bus." Papa says firmly, Ayo was pissed the way he was


    taking control of the whole mission and acting like he didn''t do anything


    Minutester, they were all in a ck bus driving to meet up with Mashee''a, Ayo took the wheels and


    while driving he suddenly has a vision.


    "Where I''m I?" Ayo says and wonders, a group of robots that look like him suddenly walk up to him and


    bow down.


    "Our new King." They all chant praising him.


    Ayo suddenly awakens back to the real world thinking about what just happened, he hears Slip voice in


    his head again.


    "That was my people and I need to get back to them." Slip says.


    "The world will be better off without someone like you." Ayo says.


    "I''m not giving you a choice, I''ming for my body and you''re not going to stop me, just need


    sometime to get ready." Slip says proudly.


    "Slip shut down." Ayo says the password he used to shut Slip down years ago but this time it doesn''t


    work.


    "You''re not stopping me." Slip says and his voice fades away. Papa moves closer to Ayo.


    "You''re going to turn to the left." Papa says and points.


    "I know!" Ayo yells, he tries to focus on his driving but couldn''t just stand looking at Papa.


    "Did you ever care about me?" Ayo asked, he was worried.


    "I did but I was born in a very dark time.........." Ayo interrupts Papa.


    "You sold your integrity for those bunch of bastards, lied to me, used people.", Ayo says, he grunts and


    pushes Papa away from him.


    Richard and Ngozi sit together at the back seat, Richard moves his hand close to hers to get her


    attention.


    "What is it?" Ngozi says and chuckles.


    "I just wanted to know how you''re feeling, we''ve not really talked after that whole........." Richard didn''t


    know he''ll put his words.


    "I''m fine, I still hear his voices but I noticed that I''ve been holding myself down......... I saw myself


    Richard in the fucking future and I looked badass, what if I could reach that level and what if I stopped


    everyone from my life and be happy with people around me. I created my imaginary friends cause I


    was lonely, I don''t want to be that anymore." Ngozi says swiftly wanting to move on with her life.


    Inside her amulet, Blitz and Miss Vicious listen to her conversation with Richard. "I told you Blitz, she


    doesn''t care about us." Miss Vicious says


    Back in the bus, Richard looked really happy for Ngozi and she smiles back at him.


    "What about you? You seem to be really interested about this mission." Ngozi says quickly.


    "Yeah, I''ve done a lot of terrible things to different people and I don''t know I feel like the least I can do


    to repay for my sin is helping people, it make me feel good. I don''t know if you get me." Richard


    chuckles a bit.


    "I do." Ngozi says.


    "So you went a little bit crazy, where did you go to?" Gboyega asked Tolu.


    "I went home to try and figure out myself." Tolu let''s out a huge sigh. "It just feels like bad people


    always keep on winning."


    "I mean yeah, we have the politicians, bank robbers........." Gboyega goes on.


    "Yeah and most of them get away with it, my mom left me at a young age." Tolu says andys her back


    on the sit.


    "I''m sorry about that." Gboyega says.


    "Not really a sad story but I''ve always waited for her toe back to me but she just keeps on winning


    and look at us now we''re helping Papa. I''m just sitting here wondering what I''m I fighting as a officer,


    it''s confusing." Tolu says firmly and faces her head to the opposite direction.


    "I''m checking my emails today." Gboyega says, he was enjoying his discussion with Tolu so he decided


    to just say anything.


    "Huh?" Tolu says confused.


    "I''ve been disconnected from the world for quite sometime, I''ve had the same email ount my


    parents opened and.......... I want to start a new life." Gboyega says not quite sure of what he was


    saying.


    "Do it!" Tolu says and moves closer to him, Gboyega chuckles a bit. He brings out his phone, he still


    remembered the password and every other details correctly, he logs in and receives a bunch of


    messages from different sites but there''s one particr person who has been constantly messaging


    him.


    "Who''s Tomi?" Tolu reads out the name of the person messaging.


    "My younger brother." Gboyega says quietly, a sense of guilt hits him that he left his brother all by


    himself to deal with the traumas of losing his parents. Ayo parks the bus.


    "We''re here." Papa says and they all get down from the car in the middle of a forest, all the cabins were


    in mes and Essence is suddenly flinged out from one of the cabins.


    "That''s Mashee''a cabin." Papa says and runs towards it, Mashee''a runs out of the cabin coughing and


    bruised up.


    "Honey." She says and breathes rapidly.


    "What happens." Papa says as he moves closer to her.


    "He said he was your friend then he tried to peel off my skin, luckily I was able to knock him down but


    my powers aren''t really in good shape cause of the baby." Mashee''a says and breathes heavily.


    Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    "Is she okay? She doesn''t look fine?" Ngozi says and touches Mashee''a belly.


    "I think the baby ising." Mashee''a says and screams.

 Chapter 29: END OF STORY

    Chapter 29: END OF STORY


    baby ising." Mashee''a says and screams.


    "Get us out of here Richard." Ayo says.


    "You can''t teleport with this baby about toe out, it''s dangerous and change reality." Papa says


    firmly.


    "Well, you didn''t give us that information before." Ayo yells.


    "Will both of you calm down! I have daughter who''s someone that actually cares about me and I just


    realized my brother is alive, I''m not ready to mess things up so let''s all calm down and think of what to


    do." Gboyega says being the voice of reason around them, they all remain quiet for a while thinking of


    what to do.


    "I can deliver a child." Richard quickly says.


    "You can what?" Tolu says disgusted.


    "Haven''t you guys watched the film of that one guy who was trapped in the elevator with a pregnant


    woman and had to deliver her child." Richard says swiftly, they a looked confused at first but seeing


    they had no other option they all run to the bus.


    A sudden tornado approaches them, Ayo robot hand turns into a vacuum sucker.


    "We need to stop Essence." Ayo jumps out of the bus and runs toward the tornado.


    "What about you?" Ngozi asked Richard.


    "Papa is here, you guys should go." Richard says, he helps Mashee''ay on a chair. Tolu, Ngozi and


    Gboyega all head out to face Essence.


    "You can do this dear." Papa says and grabs Mashee''a hands.


    "Just to let you know, the baby has been in the womb for seven years.", Mashee''a says as she grunts,


    sweats and growls in pain.


    "Wait what?" Richard yells.


    Ahh!" Ayo yells as he''s thrown around the road by Essence, Gboyega conjures a fire sword while


    Huffcupp appears to fight, Tolu uses her gun to shoot from a distance while standing beside Ngozi.


    "We''re not making it out." Ngozi says sadly.


    "We just have to make sure that he doesn''t snap those fingers." Tolu says.


    "He just snapped his fingers." Gboyega yells, a sudden wave of wind pushes all of them and they all


    find themselves on the floor.


    "I can just kill all of you but where''s the fun." He snaps his fingers again and Huffcupp fades away.


    "Come out Tina." Ngozi says quietly, she squeezes her amulet but nothing happens.


    Inside the amulet, Tinays on the ground in her base bruised up by her encounter with Faiza.


    Ngozi tries to summon another of her imaginary friend. "Okay, Blitz where are you?" Ngozi says to her


    amulet.


    "Resist it." Miss Vicious says to Blitz as he refused toe out to help Ngozi. "You own this body, not


    her."


    Ayo shoots a beam from behind which hits Essence back, stunning him this gives Gboyega the chance


    to hit a wave of fire on Essence knocking him down.


    "What do we do now?" Ayo asked as he joins the others.


    "My amulet isn''t working anymore, Essence probably did something to it." Ngozi says scared, Essence


    gets up unharmed.


    "Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!" Mashee''a shouts at the top of her voice as she struggles to give birth to her


    child.


    "You can do it.......... Just......... Push" Richard tries tofort her but even he was scared. Papa


    watches the team struggle to defeat Essence through the window.


    "I need to go there." Papa says.


    "You can''t just leave your wife." Richard yells, he didn''t know what to do.


    "I''m going there because of her, Essence wants me." Papa walks out of the bus.


    "I''m going to die." Mashee''a says, she wails on the ground not ready to go on.


    "Stop! Don''t say things like that, you''re going to live." Richard says, he grabs her hand gently. "I need


    you to think about the wonderful life you''ll have with your newborn child and husband, just think about


    it." Richard says softly, Mashee''a nods to the positive, she let''s out a huge scream as she pushes.


    Papa marches forward to Essence after he had knock down the whole team. "Leave everyone alone,


    it''s me you want." Papa says boldly.


    "When did you suddenly turn into a hero? I''m going to make you pay for everything you have done, I''ll


    kill all of you!" Essence yells, he didn''t look fine as he was breathing rapidly.


    "Then do it." Gboyega says, he gets up quickly.


    "Do you want to put us in some kind of troubl Gboyega?" Ayo says concerned.


    "Trust me I''ve gone to a lot of therapy ss when I was young and I know how things like this work."


    Gboyega quietly says to the others. "Kill us." Gboyega yells.


    Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.


    "I will." Essence moves closer to Gboyega.


    "I don''t think you can, I mean who knows you might not be all that powerful." Gboyega says and


    smirks.


    "He makes a good point, if you knew everything that was happening howe you didn''t know I was


    going to shoot you?" Tolu says as she quickly caught up with what Gboyega was doing.


    "I''m not ready for this." Essence turns around.


    "You also say this world is fake but why don''t you just go to the real one?." Ngozi says.


    "I think he is insane, you''re just obsessed with Papa." Ayo says softly.


    "I''m not obsessed with Papa." Essence yells, the hair on his head starts peeling off and a duplicate of


    Papa suddenly appears.


    "You can trust me." The duplicate says and fades away, the team all startughing at him.


    "Your powers are working against you Elliot, you''re not fine." Gboyega says proudly.


    "What is even your goal after ruining Papa''s life?" Ayo asked, they all started talking really high and


    Essence couldn''t control his powers anymore, he heard different voices all at once. Essence couldn''t


    control it this time.


    "That''s enough!" Essence yells and snaps his fingers, the heads of the team even Papa suddenly


    explode into bits.


    "No!" Richard yells from the bus andes out, Essence snaps his fingers again and Richard''s head


    explode into bits too.


    "End of story readers!" Essence says and walks away.

 Chapter 30: THE UNION!!!!!!!!

    Chapter 30: THE UNION!!!!!!!!


    A month had passed some Essence killed the team, he was all alone in the white room thinking for


    what to do, he had spent all other days traveling from country to country but nothing still felt real to him.


    "What to do?" Essence says as he wanders around the white room thinking of the next ce he could


    visit. "You know what readers, maybe we should all go back to the past and watch myself kill Papa all


    over again." Essence says to the readers andughs out loud, he snaps his fingers and goes back to


    the past.


    "Fantastic." Essence says as he watches himself kill the team. "See the way I took out Papa, one more


    time please." Essence says and snaps his fingers.


    "I just did that, I''m that boss." Essence says as he watches all over again, he snaps his fingers over


    and over again, just to see Papa. This goes on for a very long period of time.


    No!" Essence yells as he''s wakes up, he meets the teams alive looking at him. "What did you guys


    do?" Essence says, he gets up.


    "Nothing your powers were just working against you." Gboyega says and smirks.


    "Fuck!" Essence yells.


    "No!!!!!!!!!!!!" Mashee''a screams as she continues to pushes, the windows of the bus suddenly shatter


    and the colours of the bus changes into multiple colours. She breathes rapidly and does one final push,


    her scream echoed around the forest.


    "You did it!" Richard says exicted as he carries a young bouncing baby boy who''s crying. He brings the


    C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.


    baby closer to Mashee''a.


    "Dana." Mashee''a says in her nativenguage as she touches her son forehead. "Thank you, you''re a


    hero." Mashee''a says to Richard.


    "Yeah." Richard says, he smiled and felt relieved. He looks at the back of the bus and sees Essence


    threatening the others. "We need to do something about Essence."


    "True." Mashee''a says, she grabs her son hand and they both start glowing in a blue colour. "I need


    some of your powers son, we need to save your father."


    "Fuck all of you! I will still hunt Papa because I am the most powerful Supernatural in this fucking fake


    world. Fuck!" Essence throws a tantrum, the sky starts changing atmosphere, it turned gloomy and


    thunders weete crackling from the sky, Essence looked confused.


    "Is he doing that?" Tolu asked.


    "I doubt it." Ngozi responds.


    A huge wave of thunder from the sky sudden strikes Essence, electrocuting him for over five minutes


    burning his peeling off Essence skin. The thunder stops, Essence is totally fried and he falls on the


    ground dying.


    "Shit, your wife and son are powerful." Richard says joyfully as he gets down from the bus, Papa runs


    inside to meet up with his


    wife. Richard joins his team.


    "We did good guys." Ngozi says and sighs in relief, Essence body suddenly starts ticking really loud.


    "That''s the sound of a freaking bomb, we need to go!" Richard shouts, they all run to the bus to grab


    Papa and Mashee''a.


    "No time to exin, take us away Richard." Ayo says swiftly. A wave of energy surrounds them and


    they all teleport out of the bus.


    "Yes aunty, I know I said I''ll only stay for the weekend but I''ll be back very soon." Linda says while she''s


    on the phone. "Fine, bye." Linda cuts the call. She was worried about her father that he hasn''t been


    back yet, a white cardboard suddenly appears in front of her.


    "What the..........." Tolu says as she looks closer at it, she sees a group of people walking around it, she


    looks even closer and sees the team in the painting.


    "Hi Linda." Gboyega waves to her from the painting.


    "You really meant this reality changing thing?" Ayo says as he grabs his head.


    "I can''t feel my powers." Richard says.


    "Me too." Ngozi responds.


    "What do we do now?" Tolu ask as she wonders around the ce.


    "I think I can bring us out but............." Mashee''a sleeps off on the after using all her energy to give birth


    to her child.
