Double agent

Ch 5: The Pillar leaders

the room. "No need to be nervous, Ali. Try your best," Agent Dayang said.

Soon, there were many droids that were diploid and started to attack Ali.As the droids charged towards Ali, he just stood there. Dayang was starting to get a little worried since he wasn't moving as the droids were getting closer. As the first droid tried to strike at Ali, he phased through the droid and all the others that were behind the first. Dayang and Zain were quite surprised with what just happened while Ganz being Ganz did not find it impressive, not one bit.

Just before the droids could turn their attention to Ali, he dashed forward with his right hand open. The droids were about to blast lasers at him when they were suddenly hit with a... piano!? Apparently, Ali had created a piano from thin air and thrown it at the droids. How does a child do that? "Am I seeing things or did that child just..." Dayang said as she slowly trailed off, she could not believe a child could do something like that.

As Ali smashed the supposed piano at the droids, it was smashed into pieces but the debris suddenly was being pulled back to Ali's hand. The debris slowly turned into what looks like pixels. After coming together, it changed into a cube. How fascinating...

Ali thought that it was over when he heard heavy footsteps behind him. He quickly jumped forward and turned over to whatever was making the footsteps, it was a giant droid heading towards him. Ali charged towards the droid but suddenly, a portal appeared and he went through it.

The Pillar leaders were wondering where the boy went when Ali reapered behind the droid and struck at the back. Of course, that did not do anything since the bigger droids were much more durable than the smaller ones. Ali kept disappearing and reappearing rapidly everywhere around the droid, trying to weaken it. He disappeared one last time before reappearing just above the droid.

With the cube in his hand from before, he transformed it into a spear before stabbing it through the droid. This effectively destroyed the droid. "Impressed yet, Ganz?" Dayang asked. "Tch... Not bad for a kid I guess..." Ganz said. Of course he didn't want to admit that it was impressive. "Well Ali, you have completed the trial... You will get your result tomorrow." Dayang said before the three Pillar leaders disappeared from the screen. "Ali, I want you to be here once school has ended and not a moment late." The General said with a stern voice, it seems like he hates tardiness.

Ali nodded before leaving the room where he was met with Bakar and Alicia. "So how was it?" Bakar asked. "I guess it was ok... The Pillar leaders were intimidating..." Ali said. "Of course you were scared by them... You're nothing but weak and frail," Alicia said before walking away from the two. "Ugh... Why is she always so rude..." Ali said, this really pissed him off, he had never done anything to her and this is how she always treats him.

"Let her be, Ali... It's not good to hold grudges against people," Bakar said. "Come now, let's go and grab lunch." He added before the two headed back to the surface.

Seems like life has taken a turn for Ali. Maybe it's not so bad after all to be an agent.

Meanwhile with the Pillar leaders. They are discussing the fate of Ali bin Ghazali. The Pillar leaders were in separated secluded areas so the only way they could have a meeting was through screens.

"So... He has the brains to make such devices. Maybe he can be in Tekno," Dayang said as she was looking through information about Ali on a holographic screen. "But... He seems like he could do well when it comes to sneaking around... He has a teleportation device... What is your view, Ganz?" Zain asked. "All I know is the kid is too weak to be in Kombat." Ganz said as he crossed his arms. This man is really thick headed...

"So it seems it is between Inviso and Tekno..." Dayang said. "It's a hard choice..." Zain added. "Zain, Ganz, might I suggest an idea?" Dayang asked. The two male Pillar leaders raised their eyebrows at the same time, wondering what Dayang was going to suggest. "What if... We put him in both Tekno and Inviso?" Dayang suggested. "Wouldn't that mean that he would need double the training since he needs to train under two Pillars? And would he even be able to handle the load of training that is required?" Zain asked.

"There are some concerns but I have a feeling he can do it..." Dayang said. "Is that so... Well, I have no objections to that." Zain said. "Finally the both of you have come to a conclusion... I don't care about what you do with the boy, as long as he improves." Ganz said. "Then it is settled... Agent Ali will be under the Tekno and Inviso Pillars." Dayang said to the two male Pillar leaders before they disappeared from the screen.

Dayang on the other hand notified the General about Ali and which Pillar he was going to belong to. Maybe this will be a new programme that she wanted to start, where the Young Agent can be grouped under multiple Pillars if Ali succeeds of course.
