The Nexus Point CHAPTER SEVENTY-NINE
MAXINE Klaus had walked out on me earlier and I was left alone in the woods and I decided to keep moving instead of allowing Synod Agents to get to me I stumbled through the dense underbrush, my senses on high alert as I tried to put as much distance between myself and the Synod agents as possible. But as I rounded a bend, I suddenly found myself face to face with a group of agents.My instincts kicked in, and I launched myself at them, my powers surging to the forefront. I fought hard, taking down two of the agents with swift kicks and punches. But there were too many of them, and I found myself getting overwhelmed.Just as I was starting to tire, I heard a loud crash behind me. I turned to see Klaus bursting onto the scene, his eyes blazing with anger.With a fierce cry, Klaus launched himself at the agents, taking down several of them with his powers. I watched in awe as he fought, his movements swift and deadly.But as the fight raged on, I realized that we were in grave danger.

SHANEI sat impatient at my desk watching everyone with unease, gazing out at the activity below. Henry, Arlo, and a group of agents were gathered near the entrance, their faces tense and serious leaving the premise. I watched from my window at my desk as they loaded up into a vehicle at the underground park and sped away, a sense of unease growing in my stomach.Something was going on, and I had a feeling it wasn't good.I immediately reached for my comms device, my fingers flying over the controls as I tried to call Max. But the call went straight to voicemail, and I felt a surge of worry.Where was Max? And why wasn't she answering my calls?I tried calling again, but the result was the same. I was starting to get really concerned now. Max and I had been in touch regularly, and it was unlike her to be unreachable.I paced back and forth in my desk, my mind racing with possibilities. Had Max been captured by the Synod? Was she in danger?I stopped pacing and took a deep breath, tryi

LENAI trudged through the dense forest, my senses on high alert as I scanned our surroundings for any signs of Eric and Pen or Maxine and Niklaus. Jax walked beside me, his eyes fixed on the path ahead."We should be close, I smell something" I whispered, checking the icon on my phone for what felt like the hundredth time.Jax nodded, his jaw clenched in determination. We had been searching for hours, and I knew he was getting anxious.Just as we rounded a bend in the path, I spotted a flash of color through the trees. My heart skipped a beat as I quickened my pace, Jax right behind me.As we burst into the clearing, I saw Eric and Pen huddled together, their faces pale and drawn looking ready for a fight. Relief washed over me as I rushed to their sides."Eric! Pen!" I exclaimed, helping them to their feet.Jax's eyes narrowed as he scanned their faces. "What the hell happened to you guys? I thought we were supposed to stick together" he demanded.Eric hesitated before answering. "W

MAXINE I answered the call, my heart racing as I saw Shane's name on the screen. "Shane, what's going on?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady."Max, I have some news," Shane replied, her voice serious. "Henry is on his way to your location. I don't know what his intentions are, but I thought you should know. He didn't look very friendly at all and he is coming with backup."I felt a surge of adrenaline as I processed the information. Henry was the last person I wanted to run into right now. "Thanks, Shane. I owe you one," I said, already thinking of our next move."Wait, Max," Shane said, stopping me from hanging up. "I have something else for you. I found a map that your mother had left for you. I'm sending it to you now."I felt a lump form in my throat as I waited for the map to download. When it finally appeared on my screen, I felt a wave of emotion wash over me. It was a map of the surrounding area, with several locations marked. I recognized some of them as spots and plac

MAXINE The day was getting dark and we still hadn't found the others so we decided to hasten up with our space boards which we had for emergency purposes.I strapped on my space board, feeling a rush of adrenaline as I prepared to take off. Klaus was already hovering beside me, his eyes scanning the surrounding area for any signs of danger."Ready?" he asked, his voice low and serious.I nodded, and together we launched into the air, our space boards propelling us forward with a burst of speed. We soared mildly above the ground as we still did not want to attract unwanted attention, the wind rushing past us as we made our way towards the meeting point.As we flew, I kept a sharp eye out for any signs of trouble. We had already been attacked once, and I knew that the Synod agents would be on high alert, looking for any opportunity to take us down.But despite my vigilance, we were caught off guard. One minute we were flying smoothly, the next we were under attack. A group of Synod age

MAXINE I stumbled forward, my legs still shaking from the sudden escape. Klaus was beside me, his eyes scanning our surroundings as if searching for any signs of danger.River and Alice were equally walking in front of us, their faces etched with concern as we made way to meet the others."Max! Klaus!" River exclaimed, rushing towards us after looking at his comm watch. "We've got to get out of here, now!"I nodded, still trying to process what had just happened. "What...did you find something?" I stuttered.Alice looked uneasy, her eyes darting round the forest . "We placed a tracker on one of the agents and from what I'm seeing here, they are closing in on us."Klaus clapped River on the back. "Saving our asses yet again. We need to move faster."River grinned. "No time for thanks. We need to get moving. The others are waiting for us already at the location."I felt a surge of excitement mixed with fear. We were one step closer to getting out of this mess, but we still had to face

NIKLAUS It was a long day and everyone was still reeling from the attack from the agents. We made camp and everyone broke off into groups with Pen, Lena, Alice and Max together, Jax and Eric still together and I alone. Not for long as I watched as River approached me, a curious expression on his face. "Hey, Klaus, can I ask you something?" River said, his voice low and serious.I nodded, his eyes narrowing slightly. "What is it?" I asked River hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Did you know really give Max Shane's contact info or did she get it on her own?"My expression didn't change, but I could sense a flicker of surprise behind his eyes. "No, I didn't, She got it on her own" I saidRiver nodded, his eyes never leaving my face as I continued. "I just found out too, like Jax I was unaware of everything until I confronted her when we were alone." I said. His eyes narrowed as if searching for answers."But what I want to know is, why did you stand up for Max back there? I mea

MAXINE I pulled out my comms device and dialed Shane's number, feeling a sense of relief wash over me as he answered on the first ring."Shane, it's Max," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. "I just wanted to thank you for your help. We made it out safely, thanks to your help, I keep owing you debts these days."Shane's voice was warm and reassuring on the other end of the line. "I'm just glad you're safe, Max," he said. "I was worried sick about you. I'll make sure to relay the message to your mother as well. She's been frantic with worry."I felt a pang of guilt at the thought of my mother worrying about me. I knew she would be relieved to hear that I was safe."Thanks, Shane," I said again, feeling a sense of gratitude towards him. "I owe you one once again."Shane chuckled on the other end of the line. "You don't owe me anything, Max. Just take care of yourself and stay safe. That's all that matters."I smiled, feeling a sense of reassurance at Shane's words. "I will, Shane.

ALICE I stood alongside River, watching as Cora's daughter, Elle played in the park below us. She was a sweet girl, with a contagious laugh and a mop of curly brown hair. River and I had been keeping an eye on her for weeks now, making sure she was safe and happy. It was a big responsibility, but we were both committed to making sure she was protected. As we watched, the little girl climbed to the top of the jungle gym and slid down, squealing with delight. River and I exchanged a smile, and I felt a sense of contentment wash over me. Just then, River turned to me and asked, "Hey, have you heard from Max lately?" I thought for a moment before responding. Max had been through a lot in the past few months, and she was still dealing with the aftermath of everything that had happened. "She's doing okay, I think," I said finally. "She's still processing everything, but she's getting there. She's been spending a lot of time with Klaus, and that seems to be helping her." River nodde

NIKLAUS I arrived at the scene, my heart racing with anticipation. But as I entered the room, I was met with a sight that made my blood run cold. My mother's body lay on the ground, her eyes frozen in a permanent stare.I felt a wave of grief wash over me, but I pushed it aside. I had to focus on the task at hand. Henry was nowhere to be seen, but I knew he was safe. He had fled the scene, and I couldn't blame him.But my attention was focused on Arlo. He was standing in the corner, his eyes wide with fear. He knew he was beaten, and he knew he was at my mercy.I walked towards him, my powers coursing through my veins. I could feel the energy building up inside me, and I knew I could take Arlo down with a single touch.But I didn't want to do that. I didn't want to stain my hands with Arlo's blood. I wanted him to suffer, but I wanted him to suffer in a different way.I stopped in front of Arlo, my eyes locked on his. "You're a coward, Arlo," I spat. "You're a coward who uses others

MCKENNA I walked into the rooftop, my eyes adjusting slowly to the faint light. Arlo was sitting in a chair, a smug look on his face while Henry was tied up by the side, beaten to a pulp and barely alive."Welcome, McKenna," he said, his voice dripping with condescension. "I've been waiting for you. You see, I've been playing a little game with all of you. A game of cat and mouse, where I've been pulling the strings all along."He leaned forward, his eyes glinting with excitement. "You see, the Nexus Point project was just not a cover, it was a way to distract everyone from my real plan. And my real plan was to create a new world order, with me at the helm."I felt a surge of anger and disgust, but I kept my cool, listening intently to Arlo's words."The citizens of this city have been so foolish," he continued, his voice dripping with contempt. "They've been so blind to what's been going on right under their noses. They think they're free, but they're not. They're just pawns in my g

ARLOI waited patiently and yet all I got was one bad news to another from everyone, Cora let Alice go because of how unprepared she was for an attack and Henry just killed his own father out of his foolishness leaving Vortex still a step ahead of us yet again.I stood in front of Henry and Cora, my eyes blazing with anger and disappointment. "You fools," I spat, my voice venomous. "You've let your emotions cloud your judgment, and now you've lost everything."Henry and Cora exchanged a nervous glance, and I could see the fear lurking behind their eyes. They knew they had messed up, and they knew I was not happy."You were supposed to keep Alice captive at least, Cora," I growled, my eyes narrowing at her. "You were supposed to use her as leverage to get what we want. But instead, you let her escape. And you, Henry, you were supposed to take care of Max, but instead, you let her get the better of you."Henry's face reddened with anger, but I cut him off before he could speak. "No, Hen

MAXINE I walked into the room, my mind racing with thoughts of Henry and our father. McKenna and Klaus looked up at me, concern etched on their faces. "What is it, Max?" McKenna asked, her voice soft. I took a deep breath, trying to process everything that had happened. "Henry's taken my father hostage, by father not Arlo, definitely not him," I said, my voice firm. "He wants me to meet him at the location he just sent to me." Klaus's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched in anger. "We'll go with you," he said, his voice low. "We'll get your father back, and we'll take care of Henry once and for all." But I shook my head, my mind made up. "No, I have to go alone," I said, my voice firm. "Henry's unpredictable, and if he sees any of you, he'll hurt my father. I have to go alone, and try to reason with him." McKenna's eyes were filled with concern, but she nodded slowly. "Okay, Max. But be careful. We'll be waiting for you, and if anything goes wrong, we'll be there in an instant." I

HENRY I stood outside my father's house, my heart racing with anticipation. I had been planning this moment for a long time, and I was determined to see it through. I took a deep breath, steeling myself for what was to come. I had to be strong, had to be resolute. I couldn't let my emotions get the better of me. I walked into the house, my eyes scanning the familiar rooms. My father was sitting in his favorite armchair, a look of surprise on his face as he saw me. "Henry," he said, his voice cautious. "What are you doing here?" I took a deep breath, my words tumbling out in a rush. "Father, I'm sorry....For the neglect all this while, but there's something important I need to tell you." My father's expression softened, a look of surprise and gratitude on his face. "Henry, I... I forgive you. I love you, son." I felt a pang of guilt, knowing what I was about to do. But I pushed it aside, focusing on my goal. "Thank you, Father," I said, my voice firm. "But I'm afraid I'm not h

ALICE After the heads up from River the entirety of Vortex was in chaos. While River led the other few set of Vortex resistant out to the new hideout, I and some others were still left trying to clear up everything else. Suddenly a loud bang, followed by the breaking in of Synod agents accompanied by Arlo himself. I cowered in the corner, my eyes fixed on the chaos unfolding before me. Arlo had arrived, flanked by Cora and a team of Synod agents. They were destroying everything, tearing apart the Vortex hideout that had been my home for so long. As I watched, Arlo's eyes scanned the room, his gaze lingering on each face before moving on. And then, his eyes met mine. For a moment, we just stared at each other. I expected him to react, to show some sign of recognition or emotion. But instead, he just kept looking at me, his expression blank. It was as if he didn't even see me. I felt a surge of confusion and fear. Why was he ignoring me? Unless I was not useful to him. But befo

SHANEI watched Max from across the room, my eyes narrowed with concern. She had been acting strange lately, spending more and more time with Synod and Arlo. I didn't trust them, and I didn't trust Max's judgment when it came to them.As I approached her, Max turned to me with a bright smile. But I could see the tension in her eyes, the way she seemed to be hiding something."Hey, Shane," she said, her voice light. "What's up?"I hesitated, unsure of how to broach the subject. "Max, I've been noticing that you've been spending a lot of time with Synod lately. I'm worried about you."Max's smile faltered for a moment, but then she laughed. "Shane, I'm fine. I'm just trying to help them with their research. That's all. If I don't sell it I'll seem suspicious."I raised an eyebrow, skeptical. "Research is fine, selling out your perfect role is fine but Max, I know you're not telling me the full truth. What's going on?"Max's expression changed, her eyes flashing with a mixture of sadness
The Nexus Point CHAPTER HUNDRED-TWENTY
MAXINE I stood in front of Arlo, my eyes locked on his. We were in a secure location, one that I had chosen specifically for this meeting. "Arlo, I've been thinking," I said, my voice firm. "I'm willing to provide you with everything you want. The Nexus Point project, the research, the technology... it's all yours." Arlo's eyes narrowed, his expression skeptical. "What do you want in return, Max?" I smiled, a cold, calculated smile. "I want Henry. I want him brought to justice for what he's done. And I want you to make sure that he pays for his crimes by my hand." Arlo's expression changed, a glimmer of understanding in his eyes. "You're willing to give me everything I want, just to get revenge on Henry?" I nodded, my eyes never leaving his. "Yes, that's exactly what I'm willing to do. I want Henry to pay for what he's done, and I'm willing to do whatever it takes to make that happen." Arlo's smile was slow and calculating. "I think we can come to an agreement, Max. I'll give
