Chapter 244: Abilities

My bonds left yesterday since they don't want to change things much, and today in our mission date. I got on my mechanoid skintight armor on. Our squad's armor all are black in color, but the 4 of us have different color out lines, mine is white, Kenny is blue, Kelly is green and Benny is red.

We then got on our ride that usually pick us up for the morning and take us to the military base where we can pick up our equipments since we aren't allowed to keep them at home.

I got 2 assault rifles and have one as a spare which I sling over my back. Miniature bombs, spare magazines, daggers, a pistol, my signature gauntlets...etc. My gauntlets discharges energy every time I activate it, so it makes my punches even more stronger as I can blow apart many things with my fist.

Guns used to shoot bullets, but bullets were determined to not work on those monsters, so magazines are charged up with powerful energy like a power bank and shoot out laser bullets.

We do train with regular bullets or sometimes simulations.

< This is the mission where we'll meet those guys >

"By the way, Grace, do you still have that librarian's number?" Benny asked

"I kept it for you guys since I already have 2 girls to care about, I would give it to you, but the other 2 would protest. So until I can determine which one of you I should give it to, I'm keeping it."

"Right, who does better in this mission get the number"

We then checked our our equipments and everything and got onto this helicopter.

-How are you guys?-

-Both of your girlfriend's have taken a liking to the internet- Ace answered -We did make them avoid as much social media as possible though-

-They're spending their time watching documentaries on YouTube- Siege added

-Well glad that you guys are enjoying your time as your lives rest on me-

"We're here" the pilot announced as we flew over this destroyed city "You guys are gonna jump down like always? Those monsters are everywhere and there's also a few infecteds"

"Yep, you lower me to that 10 story building over there as these guys jump" Kenny requested

We then got on our earpiece on, turned it on and jumped from the plane. Oh yeah, we no have those backpack of a parachute in this day and age. We got this small disk like thing that we attach to the back of our suit. We press a button our utility belt every time we want to activate it.

We pressed the button and the disk expanded into a parachute and once we press the button again when we land safely, it detaches. I know, that successful raid on area 51 was so worth it, it made these past few years more exciting, they should've done that much earlier though.

I feel bad for the ones whose timeline doesn't have the successful raid on Area 51.

|...Our world sucks |

No one knows where those monsters came from, but most people theorized that due to global warming, the micro-organisms that are frozen in the artic got released and evolved, but no one really knows.

The monsters are hard to describe, they're all red in color, have 4 legs, a large jaw with several row of fangs, a few pairs of eyes (it varies, really) and a lot of tentacles on its back, they're called a gorger since they also eat people's or animal's flesh to survive.

They breath attack can kill you and sometimes even melt metal depending on how strong they are and each of their tentacles is enough to kill an average man. Yeah...my world sucks, doesn't it?

Some have special features like wings or can stand or 2 legs, they're the abnormals or deviants depending on your preference to call them. But they can still be killed by us ability holders, what's scary are the infecteds.

Humans in a very rare chance can absorb in the acidic breaths and become infected and evolve into the monsters themselves, some infected will have abilities due to previously being an ability-holder. They will look humanoid, but their skin will turn red like a gorger but only about 50% of them will grow tentacles on their backs.

If they eat enough humans, sometimes they'll even gain intelligence. But they will not retain any of their previous memories and become an entirely new person. The most dangerous ones are the infecteds who were once ability-holders and gained intelligence, they're called the specials. They can speak like a regular human

Only the top 10 are allowed to go against those alone. They were the one who's responsible for destroying a huge portion of the world.

The world predicted such a thing would happen, but those infected are much stronger than expected, and the ability-holders then are much weaker than they are now.

We landed and I started rapid firing and gunning down the gorgers nearby.

Well I should tell you about the abilities of the other 3.

Benny, 2 abilities. Tier 3 'Ferocity' and Tier 7 'red whip'. 'Red whip' is exactly how it sounds, he can create a red whips of mass energy at will. It can easily slash through metals and many other hard materials, the stronger his will is, the stronger objects it can cut...or he can just use it like a regular whip. One time he tried to use it to swing across one platform to another, but that ended badly.

Kenny, 3 abilities. Tier 6 'Trajectory change', Tier 4 'Split', and Tier 7 'Drunk'. 'Trajectory change' allows him to change the projectiles he focuses on at will, so if he ever misses, he can change the trajectory of his shots several time, but he can only change the trajectory of one projectile at a time

'Split' allows him to split projectiles into multiple parts, limit: 3 parts. 'Drunk' is exactly how it sounds, he can make people or monsters drunk, if anyone get hits by his attack imbued with that ability, they will feel drunk.

That's why he's a deadly shooter, he'll imbue 'drunk' onto his magazines, split his laser bullets into 3 midair, and quickly change the trajectory of his bullet one at a time to hit 3 opponents, if the still don't die, the opponents will feel drunk and have their senses weakened greatly.

Kelly, 2 ability. Tier 8 'Encore' and Tier 8 'Absorption'. 'Absorption' allows her to absorb attacks and stack them up, she can release the damage she took only once a day.

< I'll just repeat this day like how we did in my past life till we meet those guys >

"Time to to live up to my nickname. Over." I reported as I got out the miniature bombs the size of a small beads and threw them around, exploding the monsters and engaging the monsters in close combat.

My gauntlets allow me to launch destructive punches than even an average ability holder. Each of my regular punches can kill an average man in one hit, ability holders are born with better physical prowess than a regular person.

Then there's me, #6 Grace Leven nicknamed Grace the destructive. One of the people who can rival a special in power. 3 abilities. Tier 5 'Mutated-Ferocity', Tier 9 'Presence' and unique ability 'Protagonist'.
