Kate and Brown had come to Serbia and were staying at Brown’s friend Bobby’s house for a while. Kate was meditating in the living room by herself while Brown and Bobby were out.
They had been out for over an hour and Kate had waited the entire time for Brown to call. She didn’t get a call, but a message with coordinates from Brown. They were supposed to be over 50 kilometers away, but it took her just 10 minutes to arrive.
Brown and Bobby were waiting in a car, neither of them were expecting Kate to get there so fast that’s why both got startled when she knocked on the car's window.
She didn’t wait for them and immediately walked into the building that they were parked next to. Brown was right behind her, but when they entered the stairwell Kate skipped all 10 floors by jumping in the middle right to the highest one.
Brown didn’t want to try following her and instead went to their car where Bobby was still waiting. Not long after Vince flew through the top floor’s window onto the pavement, he got up, but Kate had already jumped next to him. She punched him in the stomach, launching him into the nearest building.
Kate punched him around the block for some time, while Brown and Bobby waited by the car.
Bobby got a message on his phone and told Brown that the GA was coming. He blew into a whistle to alert Kate. Vince flew over the building and landed close to them unconscious. Brown and Bobby wasted no time and carried him into the car, they saw Kate come around the opposing building carrying a road sign, she used it to write “Call Vince Matays.” On the ground and then got in the car.
Kate had taken Vince’s phone from him while she tossed him around the town. It was locked. She tried guessing Vince’s password, but she guessed wrong too many times. She had to wait until they were back at Bobby’s place where she strapped Vince onto a chair in Bobby’s basement. The room he was locked in was filled with fumes so when Kate was in there she had to wear a gas mask.
“There are videos of it online already!” Bobby yelled.
Kate went upstairs and into the living room. “Am I recognizable in them?” She asked as she sat next to him. Bobby showed her a video of Vince getting dragged in the car and her writing on the pavement.
“Barely.” Said Bobby. “Do you feel better now after kicking the shit out of Vince?”
“Not really. Although it was pretty fun at the moment, I’m not done with him yet.” Kate
“So what are you going to do to him?” Bobby asked.
“I want to make Kire kill him.” Kate declared.
At that moment Vince’s phone received a call. Kate’s eyes lit up when she saw that the caller was Kire.
“Hi Kire!” She answered in a very joyous tone.
“Hello.” Kire answered.
“I was curious as to what you were planning on using the boy for?” Kate asked.
“Like you, Michael was VInce’s project.” Kire answered.
Kate was surprised that Kire knew who she was. “You know who I am?” She asked.
Kire chortled. “I saw a video. I only know 1 person who might do that to Vince and that’s you Kate.”
“Well ok. The boy was Vince’s project, what's yours?” Kate asked
“I’ll tell you if you kill Vince and come to Cape Town.” Kire
Kate sounded offended as she asked why she should kill Vince.
“I made a deal with him, If Michael hadn’t killed you within a year I would kill both of them.” Kire
“What’s in Cape Town?” Kate asked.
“Me.” Kire answered
Kate was confused. She asked Kire why he thought she would even think about coming when he clearly wants to kill her.
“Why would I come there if you wanted me dead?” Kate asked again
“I don’t want you dead. I let you live a normal life in Australia for three years while Vince was doing everything to find you.” Kire
“How did you know?” Kate
“I can do what most can’t.” Kire
Kate hung up on Kire and crushed the phone with her hand.
Almost immediately someone knocked on the door, just as Bobby got up to go answer the door Kire and Iro walked into the living room.
Kate and Bobby completely froze from fear as Kire sat down on the couch beside them and requested Kate’s help in killing Milo and Monika Petrevska.
“Not today and probably even this month, but I want you to be ready when I call you.” He added.
[December 20th 2010]
It was snowing and Michael was enjoying it by himself, he was on a walk to a nearby convenience store.
The clerk greeted Michael by his name, which the other two customers heard. They secretly took pictures of Michael which he noticed, but paid no attention to.
He headed back to the communal home and into his room. Soon someone knocked on the door and told him that Isaac was waiting outside for him. Michael hurried outside and hopped in the vehicle, he was a bit surprised how quickly Isaac took off, but thought it was just him chasing thrill.
Isaac was the one that opened his mouth, he told Michael that multiple prison breaks had happened all around the globe and they were going to Mexico to guard the GA prison that was in there. He also told Michael to prepare for a fight making him a bit anxious. Michael had only fought against Isaac for training, but he had been a witness to a larger fight that happened a couple weeks ago between Isaac and someone else and felt that if he had been in the middle of that he’d be gone in seconds. Isaac noticed that Michael was a bit tense and assured him that he had nothing to worry about.
When they got there Isaac quickly commanded all the guards to the roof for lookout. The prison was completely isolated from anything else so everybody was able to see kilometers away from the roof. Michael barely paid attention to anything other than the dusk, but he was the first one to notice two silhouettes walking towards the prison.
Someone pulled out binoculars to get a better look at them and started describing them.

As the two got closer everyone else got a better look as well, including Michael who immediately recognized the other one as Joy. When he mentioned it to Isaac, everyone eased up a bit, but the two of them suddenly appeared behind Isaac. The girl said something in a language that nobody was able to understand and pointed at Isaac, Michael and 2 others.
Isaac watched as everybody else burned to ashes in seconds. He turned around and tried to hit the girl, but she effortlessly ducked. In return she kicked Isaac in the back of his head which caused him to fly off the roof.
The girl said something again, but only Joy understood her as he jumped after Isaac, she then took out her phone and it started floating as she seemingly placed it in the air.
As Isaac landed on the ground he had a big grin on his face, but as he was looking at the roof, he noticed that Joy was the one who had gone after him and was a bit disappointed at first.
Joy rushed at Isaac completely overwhelming him with speed, he was able to parry Joy’s first strike, but was unable to do anything against the second kick that followed right after. Right as he got up a plasma ball was flying towards him. He dodged it, but saw Joy in the distance with his arms stretched out and immediately realized he was guiding it. Isaac tried to run towards Joy, but got blasted with another one which he just barely dodged. He felt the heat as the incredibly hot ball of plasma flew past him. As both the balls were flying back towards him, he decided to take a gamble, he rubbed his hands towards Joy and a lightning shot out of them. It worked as Joy got knocked down and the plasma balls vanished.
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
Isaac started rubbing his hands together again, but before he was able to shoot the lightning Joy closed the distance between them in 100th of a second, he hit Isaac in the face launching him backwards and immediately followed it up with a lightning bolt and hundreds of plasma balls. They burned all of Isaac’s clothes off and created burns all over his body, it would’ve killed him if it weren’t for the girl stopping Joy.
Isaac woke up 2 days later in a hospital bed. He felt excruciating pain all over his body and was just barely able to sit up and press the button hanging from the ceiling.
Soon two men walked in the room and asked how he was feeling, but Isaac was more interested in knowing what happened after his defeat.
“Everybody lost.” One of them said.
Isaac was shocked and confused at the same time. “What does that mean?”
“It means exactly what it means. You, Tatadoro, Eaco. Everyone lost to him.” They answered.
“Who?” Isaac
“Joy Aukatõ” They said in unison.
Isaac glanced at himself in the mirror again, he then saw the clock in the reflection. “How long was I out?” He asked.
“3 days.” The men answered.
When Isaac asked what had happened during that time one of the men asked him to sit in the wheelchair that was in the room. They took him to the roof where he saw thousands of people surrounding the building.
“The world has gone to shit, yesterday a video with all your fights was sent to news stations all round the world and posted online. Every criminal that was in prison got freed and police all around the world were getting killed so most came here.” They explained.
They heard a young boy’s voice behind telling them to leave.
Isaac recognized the voice as Milo. “You didn’t fight?” He asked.
“I did. And I lost like everyone else.” Milo answered.
“All it took was 3 days and 2 people for Yugoslavia to happen on a global scale.” Isaac exasperated.
Milo grabbed Isaac’s wheelchair and took it back inside; he told Isaac that they were going to talk with Michael.
Milo took Isaac to another hospital room where Michael was being held. The room had been turned into a holding cell and Michael was laying on the bed facing the wall.
Milo gently knocked on the bars and said that Isaac was here. Michael turned around and looked horrified when he saw Isaac, but it didn’t last long as he quickly started speaking.
“Joy was with Sara.” Michael said. “She came to our class the same day Mom and Dad died….”
Isaac interrupted Michael to ask him if he was sure.
Michael nodded as an answer, but clarified that Sara had the same necklace.
Isaac told Milo to go get someone else here. While Milo was gone Isaac got more personal with Michael when he asked if he was sure that Joy was actually his brother.
Michael was confused, he asked Isaac how it would even be possible for him to not be his brother.
“Well you look nothing alike. And in Mexico he didn’t even notice you.” Isaac answered.
Michael looked very perplexed, instead of answering Isaac he started thinking whether it could be true. Isaac wasn’t trying to upset Michael, he wanted to see how Michael would react.
Soon Milo came back with someone else. Isaac gave the man Milo had brought in an order to go to Serbia and find out everything about Sara.
Isaac expected the man to immediately leave, but instead he told Isaac that he was scared to go outside. When Isaac asked him why, he told that everywhere except here in Germany members of the GA were getting lynched.
Isaac gave him the permission to take as many people with him as possible as long as he got all the information on Sara.
The man still looked scared, but complied.
Isaac told Milo that he was done talking to Michael. Milo took him back to his room, but on their way Isaac said that he didn’t think Michael knew about Joy and Sara.
Two days had passed, Isaac had spent all that time alone in his room, he trusted others to not need him as he himself didn’t want to do much. He had survived the days with painkillers and spent the time rewatching everybody’s fights against Joy.
Now he finally felt better, walking was still hard so he decided to still use the wheelchair. Isaac pressed the button again and was soon greeted by Vb and Tatadoro at the door.
“How do you feel?” Vb asked.
“Oh I feel great.” Isaac joked. “Fucking look at me.”
“Eaco wanted to have a meeting when you felt better.” Vb told.
They went into the cafeteria, the tables and chairs had been rearranged to make it look like a conference room, many were already sitting there and most looked horrible, but none quite as bad as Isaac. Everyone stared at his fully bandaged body in horror.
“What’s behind those bandages?” Someone asked.
Isaac tore off a part of the bandanas of his arm and showed everyone his burnt off skin. Everybody was shocked and commended him for putting up with the pain.
Isaac started the discussion by asking whether anything was found out about who Sara was. Nobody had any idea of who he was talking about except Milo, he told Isaac that the people still hadn’t returned.
Someone asked who they were talking about, so Milo explained that Michael had said the girl Joy was with was most likely Sara, a student in their class who vanished at the same time as Joy.
Someone then remembered their last major meeting and asked Eaco whether this was the person they talked about before.
“No, that’s Michael. Joy is his brother.” Eaco answered.
“Wait this guy was his brother? How did he fly under your radar then?” Some yelled.
Eaco was just about to defend herself, but Vb did it before her, he reminded everyone that Joy in fact didn’t fly under her radar, but that both Michael and Joy were specifically mentioned in the meeting they had before.
Then Isaac chimed in. “Joy was thought to be dead until now and I worked with Michael for almost 2 months.”
“Alright so someone capable of destroying entire continents wasn’t immediately brought here, but instead left in a school? How were Tatadoro and Monika considered special cases at 11 years old, but he wasn’t when he’s even older.” Someone questioned.
“He wasn’t that strong when I met him.” Eaco defended herself.
The man who was pressing Eaco didn’t believe her. “How is that possible?”
“It has to have something to do with the girl. Perhaps she burned the building, kidnapped and brainwashed Joy.” Eaco said.
Then Tatadoro chimed in. “Isaac, you’ve talked to his brother quite a bit right? Did he say anything about him?”
“He said that they both almost drowned and that’s how they lost their memory.” He answered.
Eaco thought the conversation was a dead end so she changed the subject. “I don’t think knowing about the past is going to help right now, what I want to do is plan on what we are doing going forward. Expanding the safezone is the obvious answer, I want every single one of our members as well as people who can help even a bit to come here and clear the city from criminals. Of course I also want everyone here to become stronger as well, and if anyone gets an idea on what to do to the devil’s quartet, I’m all ears.”
Everyone agreed with Eaco, but nobody understood what she meant by the devil’s quartet.
“Kire, Iro, Joy and the girl. I believe their motives align so it’s best to expect they’ll be working together.” She explained and then ended the meeting.
Milo was the first one to leave, but he was closely followed by Tatadoro, they immediately started following Eaco’s orders as the first thing they did was head out. There were thousands of people sitting right outside the fence yelling at the guards who were keeping them out. When they saw Milo and Tatadoro they started yelling even more. The two of them paid no mind to it as they jumped right over them to the roof of the nearest building.
“I don’t think Joy had all that Energy. I think he just recovered between each fight.” Milo started.
Tatadoro asked him to elaborate further while he picked pebbles off the roof.
“I was rewatching the fights and his speed, and strength looked to stay the same during all of it.” He explained.
Tatadoro gave some of the pebbles he picked up to Milo. He agreed with Milo, but told him that he felt it while he fought Joy.
They both jumped from roof to roof until they got to what they thought to be the edge of the safezone. Walls had been constructed to keep people from entering without knowledge and the gates were being guarded by people.
They jumped about a hundred meters away from the wall and took out the pebbles that Tatadoro had collected. One by one they threw them another hundred meters away around themselves. Then they sat down to meditate and the ground started rising creating a semicircular expansion to the already existing wall.
While the walls were still rising Milo came to a realization and immediately told Tatadoro. “I know where Samuel Laray is, he’s helping Joy Aukatõ. He is the girl that was with him.”
Tatadoro was shocked to hear it. “What?” The wall on his side stopped growing as he turned to face Milo. “Why do you think that?”
“When dad lost to Kire, Samuel was there as well and he was mimicking me, but had the same bright red hair that the girl Joy Aukatõ is with, had.”
“You can’t be serious.” Tatadoro took out his phone and tried to call Eaco, but she wouldn’t answer. “Fuck. Go tell that to dad or Eaco.”
Milo got up and started hopping back to the hospital. He was a bit scared because Tatadoro didn’t seem happy at all; he looked back briefly and Tatadoro had already vanished.
When Milo got back to the hospital he ran around the hallways looking for Vb or Eaco, but found neither of them. The only person he found was Isaac who was still at the cafeteria by himself. Milo asked whether he knew where either of them were.
Isaac answered no and asked why he was looking for them. Milo told him the same thing he told Tatadoro.
“That’s great to hear.” Isaac said in a sarcastic tone. “Eaco and Vb went to expand the walls as well.”
Milo kept looking around, but the only people he found were people like Isaac who weren’t yet in the state of moving around excessively. While looking around he stumbled upon Michael’s room. Since no one was around he decided to go and have another talk with him.
Michael was happy to see him and immediately asked Milo to tell about his family.
