The Nexus Point CHAPTER FORTY-NINE
MAXINE I dove headfirst into my training, eager to master my skills and prove myself as a valuable member of the team. Klaus, as expected, was my primary instructor, but I was surprised to find that the others were also willing to lend a hand.One day, Pen took me aside and taught me how to control my energy blasts. We spent hours in the training room, practicing precision and restraint. Pen's patience and expertise were invaluable, and by the end of our session, I was able to hit a target with ease.A few days later, Alice worked with me on my time manipulation powers. We practiced rewinding and fast-forwarding through time, and Alice taught me how to use my powers to anticipate and react to different scenarios. Her guidance helped me to better understand my abilities and how to use them strategically.Lena, with her expertise in hand-to-hand combat, helped me to improve my fighting skills. We sparred for hours, and Lena taught me how to use my agility and quick reflexes to outmaneu

MCKENNA I just finished checking on Max as I was told of her outburst earlier today, Klaus was not looking very pleased with me at all and I too was beginning to blame myself for what had happened. I stood before Klaus, his eyes blazing with anger and accusation. "You're the one who's been pushing her too hard, Mother," he spat, his voice venomous. "You're the one who's responsible for her outbursts."I felt a pang of guilt and regret. Klaus was right. I had been pushing Max to her limits, trying to accelerate her training and get her ready for the missions ahead. But I had forgotten the delicacy of her powers, the fragility of her control."Klaus, I'm sorry," I said, my voice soft and contrite. "I was wrong to push her so hard. I should have taken a more gradual approach, given her more time to develop her skills and control her powers."Klaus's expression didn't change, but I could sense a slight softening in his demeanor. "You were being selfish, Mother," he said, his voice still

MAXINE I woke up to the soft glow of my bedroom's ambient lighting, feeling a mix of excitement and nerves. As I gaze around the room, I'm surrounded by a kaleidoscope of colors . The walls, floor, and ceiling blend seamlessly into a continuous, curved surface, creating an immersive environment The walls, adorned with holographic displays that shift and change as I watch, showcasing vibrant patterns, news feeds, and personalized messages.The floor made of a gleaming, silver-gray material that seems almost liquid in its reflectivity. Subtle, color-shifting tiles create a mesmerizing mosaic, responding to my every step.Above me, the ceiling dissolves into a stunning, high-definition sky simulation, complete with drifting clouds, shining stars, and a warm, golden light that mimics the sun's gentle touch. A holographic display flickers to life before me, responding to my voice and gestures. Soft, melodic chimes announce incoming messages and updates.As I breathe in the room's sterile,

MAXINE I slowly opened my eyes, grogginess lifting like a veil. But instead of the sterile white room, I found myself standing in a dense forest. Sunlight filtered through the canopy above, casting dappled shadows on the forest floor.Confusion gave way to panic as I heard the distant hum of hoverbikes and the shout of Synod Agents. "Target acquired! Maxine Wilson, surrender!"My heart racing, I took off in a sprint, dodging low-hanging branches and leaping over roots. The agents closed in, their boots pounding the earth behind me."Stop, Maxine! You're under arrest!"I darted between trees, desperate to escape. Bullets whizzed past my ears, sending shivers down my spine.Suddenly, a chasm yawned before me – a deep, wide, and dark hole. My instincts screamed warning, but the agents were closing in.I hesitated, toes teetering on the edge. Fear wrestled with desperation.The agents were too close.I jumped.The world dropped away, and I plummeted into darkness. My stomach lurched, and

MAXINE I stepped out of the sleek, silver elevator and onto the sprawling campus of Eldridge University. The cityscape of New Eden stretched out before me, a tapestry of towering skyscrapers and holographic advertisements. As an NX-ZERO, I'd grown accustomed to the hum of advanced technology that permeated every aspect of life here while not being able to add anything new or have a major impact on whatever life we have built here after the great explosion.Eldridge University's main building, the Aurora Tower, shimmered with a lattice-like facade that seemed to shift and adapt to the changing light. I joined the flow of students streaming into the building, our footsteps echoing off the polished marble floors.My first class of the day was Cognitive Psychology. I slipped into the lecture hall, a circular room with holographic projectors and neural interface ports. The professor's voice greeted me, her words displayed on the augmented reality contact lenses I wore."Good morning, clas

NIKLAUS I stood alongside my mother, McKenna, leader of Vortex, in the heart of our underground headquarters. The soft hum of holographic displays and whispers of fellow rebels filled the air as she stood in front of the few hundreds we have been able to rescue and the ones who have been here with us."Friends, we gather at a critical juncture," McKenna began, surveying the room. "New Eden's descent into tyranny accelerates under Arlo's rule."As leader of Phoenix-5, Vortex's governing body, McKenna's words carried weight. Her eyes locked onto mine, and I saw a mix of concern and determination."Synod's agents roam unchecked, hunting down NX-5's, our kind" she continued. "Arlo's propaganda machine fuels fear and hatred. Our sources indicate a new, top-secret facility is under construction.""What's its purpose?" Zara, a skilled hacker, asked.McKenna's expression darkened. "We suspect it's designed to harness NX-5 energy. Arlo wants to exploit these individuals for his own gain."I c

HENRYWe just finished a mission where we lost an incel, Ian Satur whom was of great use to Synod we never really knew what happened underground and we could only hope to get promoted to know what it was. This time seemed different though, our supervisor had ordered a call for my team and I and it was odd, we never got two jobs in one night. I stood at attention, flanked by my team of Synod Agents, as our superior, Commander Pierce, briefed us on our next mission."Agents, we've received a report of a 21-year-old female exhibiting NX-5 characteristics," Commander Pierce announced, her eyes scanning the room.I felt a thrill of adrenaline, ready to take on the challenge."That's impossible," I thought to myself. "NX-5s manifest before 18."Commander Pierce continued, "Eyesphere surveillance captured her anomalies. Your mission is to apprehend and contain."She handed me a tablet with the target's file as the captain of my team. My heart sank as I saw the image.Max.My sister.I felt

MCKENNA The door slides open as a fellow Phoenix-5 member walked in with case file folders in his hand. He carefully places them on the desk as he opens it with a holographic display of a young female springing out from the file illuminating the room in blue. I stared at the classified report on my desk, trying to figure out what her situation was."NX-5 Sighting: Unknown Female, Late Teens, Exhibiting Advanced Abilities," Reginald said as he went to take a seat turning to the remaining 4 of us. NX-5s, individuals with extraordinary powers, were born with their abilities. They manifested before age 18, never after.This report defied everything we knew."Are you certain she just exhibited powers?" Gabriella, another member asked."Nope, judging from the photo, she doesn't even know what is happening to her, she looks scared, and all over the place. I am certain she is just showing," Reginald replied, adjusting his seat."McKenna do you have any idea why? I mean this is impossible,"

HENRYI stormed through the front door, my anger and frustration boiling over. My mother, sitting in the living room, looked up at me with a calm, collected expression."Mother, we need to talk," I said, my voice low and even.She raised an eyebrow. "Oh? And what's this about, Henry?"I took a deep breath, trying to keep my temper in check. "You went to Shane's house, didn't you? You went behind my back and started snooping around."My mother's expression didn't change, but a hint of defiance crept into her voice. "Since you refused to tell me anything about your sister's whereabouts, I had to take matters into my own hands. Shane was the only person who still seemed to care about Max."I felt my anger spike, and I took a step closer to her. "You had no right to do that. You're just going to push Shane away, just like you're pushing me away....What you're doing can get him into trouble, I even began to suspect him for a moment that he was up to no good."My mother stood up, her eyes f

HENRY I sat in the dimly lit room, surrounded by the familiar faces of my colleagues. Cora was to my left, her expression serious as she began to brief Arlo on our findings from the earlier clean out."We've carried out the total clean out of the ground facility ," she said, her voice steady. "And we've found something interesting....One which is an obvious threat from Vortex"Arlo's eyes narrowed, his interest piqued. "What is it?" he asked, his voice low and even.I spoke up, my voice measured. "It looks like someone may have accessed our surveillance system remotely.....And by someone we mean Vortex. We're not sure who or how, but it's definitely possible that they have been watching us from the outside.....Thankfully they had access to only the main area as the main rooms don't have surveillance cameras."Arlo's expression turned thoughtful, his eyes clouding over as he processed the information. "That's not good," he said finally. "We need to get to the bottom of this and find o
The Nexus Point CHAPTER FORTY-SIX
NIKLAUS I walked into the training room, expecting to find it empty. But instead, I was surprised to see Max standing in the center of the room, her eyes fixed intently on the target in front of her. She was training herself, pushing her limits and testing her skills.I stood there, frozen in place, as I watched her move with a fluidity and precision that I hadn't seen before. Her powers were growing stronger, and she was learning to control them with a mastery that was impressive.I didn't want to interrupt her, didn't want to break the concentration that she had worked so hard to achieve. So I stood there, watching her, as she trained herself with a focus and determination that I admired.As I watched, I felt a sense of pride and satisfaction. Max was coming into her own, developing her skills and abilities with a speed and agility that was remarkable. She was going to be a valuable asset to our team, and I was grateful to have her by our side.However I still had some inches of do
The Nexus Point CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE
HENRY I stood outside Arlo's office, taking a deep breath before knocking on the door. I had been thinking about this moment for weeks, ever since I had first started noticing the little things that were wrong with our facility. The outdated security systems, the inefficient technology, the general feeling of disorganization that seemed to permeate every aspect of our operations.I knocked on the door, and Arlo's voice called out for me to enter. I stepped inside, feeling a sense of nervousness that I quickly pushed aside."Arlo, I need to talk to you about something," I said, getting straight to the point.Arlo looked up from the papers he was studying, a hint of curiosity in his eyes. "What is it, Henry?" he asked.I took a deep breath, launching into my well-rehearsed speech. "I think it's time for a total cleaning of the facility," I said. "We need to update our security systems, advance our technology, and just generally get our house in order. I've been thinking about this for
The Nexus Point CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR
NIKLAUS I stood in my office, my eyes fixed on the comms device in front of me. I had just finished speaking with my mother, and I was still reeling from our conversation. She had told me to stop being hostile to Max, to try to see her as an asset rather than a liability. I wasn't sure if I could do that, but I was willing to try.I took a deep breath and focused on the task at hand. I needed to contact Shane and inform him of our decision to move forward with the mission to survey the uncultivated parts of New Eden.I activated the comms device and waited for Shane to answer. When he finally did, his voice was laced with excitement."Klaus, what's going on? Have you made a decision about the NX-5?" he asked.I hesitated, unsure of how much to reveal. But Shane was a trusted ally, and I knew I could count on him to keep our secrets at least for now."Shane, we've decided to move forward with the another mission," I said, my voice low and serious. "But I need you to hold off for now.

MCKENNA I stood in front of Max, a serious expression on my face. "Max, I need to talk to you about your training," I said, getting straight to the point.Max's eyes lit up with excitement, and she nodded eagerly. "What is it, McKenna? Am I doing okay?"I smiled, trying to reassure her. "You're doing great, Max. But I need you to speed up your training. We need you to be ready as soon as possible."Max's face fell slightly, and she looked uncertain. "What's going on, McKenna? Why do I need to speed up my training?"I hesitated, knowing that this was the part of the conversation that Max might not like. "We have taken your plan into consideration and it has been approved so now We're planning a mission to survey the uncultivated parts of New Eden, and we need you to be a part of it."Max's eyes widened, and she looked excited again. "That sounds amazing! I'm in, McKenna. When do we leave?"I smiled, glad to see Max's enthusiasm. "We'll be leaving soon, but you need to complete your tr
The Nexus Point CHAPTER FORTY-TWO
MAXINE I walked into the meeting room, my heart racing with excitement. I had been thinking nonstop about our problem, and I was convinced that I had come up with a solution and analyzed the plan with Alice, Lena and Pen.As I scanned the room, I saw the Phoenix-5 members seated around the table, their faces serious and intent. Klaus was there, too, his eyes narrowing slightly as he caught sight of me.I took a deep breath and began. "I've been thinking a lot about our problem, and I think I might have a solution," I said, trying to sound confident.The room fell silent, and all eyes turned to me. I could feel Klaus's gaze on me, his expression unreadable."I was thinking about New Eden," I continued. "We all know that it's a vast territory, but what if I told you that there are still some uncultivated parts that people don't inhabit? Parts that are over the border, but still safe?.....We read about it in school but some people do not exactly believe that."Ezra raised an eyebrow, hi
