[Gliz narrating]
The next day, I fell into a depression, I fell into deep grief… until uncle Roscoe said "What happened to your friend is truly depressing, it's normal for it to bring sorrow, make you lose your confidence… but you all walked into that place with bad intent, it could've been anyone of you including yourself, Gliz. You can either allow this to ruin you, or allow this to empower so his death don't remain in vain. Live but remember him and allow his memory to empower you. It's your choice, Glizoline." After I told him everything.
I chose the second option, the situation came out optional but to me, it wasn't optional. Still, with this choice, I couldn't bring myself to face them."
Speaking face to face in the office of his agency's HQ, Uncle Roscoe informs Gliz that he's needed.
"Time for your first mission, Gliz. We've found one of the main labs of the Heinous culmination. Are you ready?" Uncle Roscoe asked Gliz.
Gliz nods his head with a look of determination on his face.
"Are you nervous, youngster?" Uncle Roscoe asked, "My palms are sweatier than when I try to talk to girls right now, but what's keeping me together is your advice, it took me a while to understand it, but then I realized, that's the best thing I can do." Gliz answered as he looked down at his fist.
"That's good, remember when I said you're one of the many remarkable people in the world?" Uncle Roscoe asked suddenly, "Yeah, of course." Gliz answered nervously, "Well, get ready to meet a few of them, they'll be working with you on this." Uncle Roscoe informed.
Gliz smiled from the news as he grabs his phone out of his pocket while it's ringing, he declines the call, then unlocks his phone. Finding 14 messages from Bryce ghoulira, he deletes them all without taking a single peek at any.
"Sorry Bryce, you're my brother, but there's no time to goof around with you!" Gliz thinks to himself.
The two take uncle Roscoe's car to another HQ, this one far more secretive than the last. Walking in, there are 5 other people waiting around the area. Gliz is surprised by what he sees, he was expecting a little more, yet all he sees are completely regular looking citizens, surrounded in an empty room with training dummies.
"Gliz, this is the team of professionals you'll be working with for this mission." Said Uncle Roscoe with a smile.
"Just Me?!" Gliz questioned with utter confusion in his tone and face, "Yeah, What's wrong?" Uncle Roscoe .
The two's conversation is interrupted by a member of the team, a male member, "WHAT THE HELL?! Why are we working with a stupid kid?!" The member complained with genuine irritation. "Shut up, clearly he's a freak as well!" Another member argued. "What could a 10 year old offer?!" The first member asked with anger.
"He could offer more than you illiterate moron!" The second member yelled in annoyance.
"Oh right, these two are Magnus sloane and Kaitlyn nora, Kait has the ability to blast scorching hot energy from her palms that resembles light, Magnus trained to gain the strength of 20 men. Magnus' muy Thai is unmatched." Uncle Roscoe enlightened.
"What's your power little guy, give us a demonstration, we won't judge…" Kaitlyn asked and stated.
Gliz struggled, as he didn't want the spotlight, he's not very social and he was a bit shy. He had never worked with adults before, besides his uncle.
"Come on, lad, get on with it already!" Magnus yelled out impatiently, "Let the kid musker up his focus, maybe he needs.. focus?!" Kaitlyn said as she turned her head and pondered.
"Here, allow us to go first then." Kaitlyn proposed as she walked over to a dummy.
Kaitlyn walked up to a metallic dummy, the metal wasn't any special metallic material, it was just a custom made for her, especially, dummy she could practice on.
When she halted at the dummy, she held both of her palms towards it, the spectators consisting of Gliz, Uncle Roscoe, Magnus Sloane, Felix Ezra and Dewey Dmitry all watched attentively as thin golden light lit up her palms, as she focused it more accurately towards the dummy, the light became thick enough to observe, then it melted the dummy after 5 minutes like a heated knife through butter.
The spectators all clapped, excluding Dewey Dmitri, with true admiration. Gliz's confidence wasn't quite enough yet, so, Magnus Sloane went after her. "Watch and pay close attention, this is how a fighter solve his problems, this is also my favorite move." Said Magnus Sloane arrogantly as he walked over to his own practice dummy.
Magnus formed a threatening stance, after 10 seconds, he sprints full speed at his dummy, getting within attack range, Magnus hops double legged drop kicking the dummy, attacking with enough speed and strength to remove the torso from the legs.
Gliz couldn't believe what he was seeing, he thought to himself "Wow, I'm way more open to the supernatural existing but I never thought I'd see it like this!" As he continued clapping.
"Gliz, why don't you give our jaws a turn to drop?" Kaitlyn exhorted with a smile. "come on it's your turn Gliz!" Kaitlyn stated with the same smile.
Gliz Focused like he's been practicing for months, his focus grabbed him and his eyes went gray just to hear them say "That's too amazing!" As they cheered and celebrated.
Gliz took a look down and in his hand was a sudden pistol, 50% of the handle was a dark scarlet color. "That was never there before!" Gliz thought in his head. Gliz shrugged it off and noticed someone.
As everyone cheered and showered him with questions, trying to cross question the boy, Gliz looked over to his right and there was a man Gliz thought of as bizarre. The man was one who raises curiosity in those who lay eyes on him.
The man sat on a throne, wearing a plum colored tuxedo, with a violet flower shaded bowtie. He had short blonde hair, the He wore thick tinted glasses, that looked odd. The frames on his glasses were the darkest shade that Gliz has ever seen in his life. There was no way of seeing his eyes. The agent just sat in silence, in his corner, on his throne playing an odd guitar.
Gliz simply pointed his way, "Oh him, He's called 'Level 12'.. nothing else, that's all he prefers to be called, simply level 12. Leon found him in another world, his powers involve being able to control those who hear his voice. In his free time, the others told me he plays instruments in silence, the violin, piano.. harp, etc. He never told anyone of his past so none of us knows what he did before except maybe Leon.. he seems to be devoted to this team though. He assisted us in 170 cases so far. Streak clear of him still, Gliz." Uncle Roscoe explained as he too, stared his way.
"You look familiar, little kid…" Said level 12 in a quiet tone as he turned his way.
"Gliz, Let's go!" Uncle Roscoe demanded, yet Gliz's curiosity couldn't let him leave, he had to ask "What do you mean?" As he felt compelled.
"I mean, you remind me of a man who wronged me, nothing more." Level 12 stated as he stopped playing his guitar, Gliz didn't respond but was confused, he left with his Uncle who had been telling him to leave, Level 12 went back and continued playing his guitar.
"You and your team's mission is to infiltrate a scientific lab controlled by the culmination, steal any documents you can, don't take them head on, the facility is in the Norka forests." Uncle Roscoe explained thoroughly.
"Wait, back onto that whole "just me" talk earlier, what do you mean you won't be joining us?" Gliz asked with disappointment and confusion in his voice, "Why, of course you are my superior, those in the supernatural department have more say and go on far more dangerous assignments than those of my rank, the investigation department." Uncle Roscoe answered without shame.
Gliz understood, and understood he did, "I'll go pack Uncle!" Said Gliz as he nodded, "Do you even need to pack magic gun boy!" Magnus remarked before he snickered as he wandered off.
Gliz realizes something, something important that gives him confidence for the mission.
The team of Gliz, Magnus, Kaitlyn and level 12 with the other two back at base, all enter the restricted area, officially on the culmination's land.
Surrounding the base are trees, an abundance of huge trees, a forest surrounds the lab. Gliz and allies duck behind one of these trees in front of the main entrance to assess the situation.
"How do we go about this?" Gliz asks the elder members of the team, Level 12 heads in swiftly and without warning the others, "well… that moron is going to die a horrible death if they catch him." Magnus states confidently and calmly, "I know right, what's his problem??" Kaitlyn asked rhetorically.
"Not even the experienced guys know what to do!" Gliz thinks to himself, he realizes the other two are heading off without him, so he quickly sprints quietly to catch up.
Level 12 jumped from tree to tree like a monkey until he jumped his way inside, inside he found a lonesome guard, he creeps up on him and whispers in his ear, "Fai come dico!" Forcing the guard into a Dim and drowsy state before sharpening into a lifeless stance, a still stance.
"Affila te stesso, proteggimi ai Miei ordini!" Level 12 commanded his new bodyguard, the guard instantly goes into alert mode as he tightens his grip on his gun, constantly watching around the area.
"Mostrami i tuoi archivi!" Level 12 commanded the guard, "Yes sir!" The guard answered before he began cautiously leading Level 12.
