Trix

I'm ready

CHAPTER 18.

I was fast but the bomb was faster. The impact shot me up hitting the roof and landing back down flipping the car. The car was on fire and I was full metal. I crawled out and dematerialized. I sat there putting two and two together.

Holographic time bomb? That was the M.O. of the lumerer. I just met terrorist number 1.

I stood up and went to the car and saw the driver was a robot. I was grossly relieved. I pulled out my phone but the screen was shattered. I looked like a mess and wasn't going to any date lookin like that so I went to Danny's house instead

****

"Lumerer, the plan went as expected but looks like he didn't die"

"Fool! We don't want him dead."

"Why would you try to kill someone if you don't want him to die?"

"I'm improving him for the long run, I need him to be worthy, then I can kill him"

****

"Dude, that was next level assassination attempt." Said Danny after I finished narrating the whole ordeal to him.

"Yeah, I know now that the Lumerer killed my mother. I'm going to get her and dish out a more painful death." I said with all bitterness. Danny convinced me to roll cool with the DUA till they led me straight to her. Even if I had to fake obedience, his method sounded like a sure solution.

"What about your date?" Danny inquired of me.

"Prolly was a bad idea giving up my secret identity to a stranger." I replied cocking my head. "Well, this whole story I'd love to relay to Mihlali (Mihlali was a friend of mine I met on Facebook. She's south African and probably the most fun person I'd never met), she'd freak out. But it's DUA secret." I said, nodding my disappointment. Danny concurred.
"Why don't I just start a book on Wattpad about my adventures and call it, 'Trix' huh?!" I added, beaming.

"Neh, bad idea. People might soon see the pattern and in time find out your true identity and who knows what's gonna happen next." I concurred and agreed to return to the DUA.

I got there and went straight to my handler. I narrated the whole thing to him and my gosh was he furious.

"I've been hiding something from you." Ogbuefi put his arm across my shoulder and took me to a place where I saw two doors. The two bore "RECORDS" as their labels.

"You were not the first person with powers." he said turning back to me. I was shook. I nodded to him to continue. "Your father came form another dimension... At least that's what he said. He told us he was having a child and there was crisis on earth XI- where he came from."

"Crisis on earth XI? Now that's original" I said sarcastically.
He took me into the first room. And put his palm on the wall behind us and the room beeped and there was whirring. Then a voice came on.

"Good day agent Ogbuefi. How you're having a great day?"

"I won't say that ARRK."

"Who's ARRK?" I asked.

"I am ARRK. All Round Records Keeper of the DUA. I'm the cyber records keeper. It's nice to finally meet another person from XI." Answered the voice. Ogbuefi turned to me and shrugged.

"ARRK, pull up mission report: December 16, 1991." Ogbuefi said. Inna flash, a holographic screen labelled "December 16, 1991" appeared. "Cool huh?" He said to me. I nodded in express excitement. "That was when your father came to our earth." I read it and his story checked out like the vision I had when I had my extraction. He swiped it down and turned to me. "He told me you might be coming and told me how your powers work. I think the Lumerer is the opposition." He finished and we left the room for the training area.
We got there and he cleared out the area.

"So how does my power work?"

"Anything you read, you don't forget it. It's that info that you use to create things. That's why I made you read all those books and mags back then."

He taught me how to make guns from previous data. It was awesome. He taught me more fighting skills which I picked up quickly. I could materialize anything from any part of my body.

"Trix!" Mr Tolu came in, "I think it's time you payed someone a visit." He added, crossing his hands behind him.

"I'm sorry sir, I've got a thing I gotta do." I replied without looking in his direction.

"It's someone that's gonna die meeting you"
Those words matched my sentiments exactly.

"Who?"

"A certain Lumerer"

I turned and gave an evil smile. I materialized guns in my hands and blades from my back. Shirtless.

"They won't know what hit them."
