Volume 1 Chapter 3: Recruitment part 2


The Year is October 11 2028, the sun rays shines harshly on the earth and a strong wind blows over the city of Tasia, the sound of pickaxes and Jack hammers resound everywhere, The Mine workers are diligently at work mining the crystals. Suddenly a loud dong is heard all over, On hearing this sound which signifies their break period, All the mine workers begin to head out of the caves into the open yard to take a break.
  Four months had already passed and it was time for Bolt who had recently clocked 15 to make his big decison, Bolt is sitted on a wooden bench as the dong of the Bell keeps on resounding as if to tell Bolt it was time to take a decision, still sitted on the bench and lost in thought, Bolt fails to take notice of a girl who is directly in front of him, she bends down with one hand placed behind her back and starts to wave at Bolt as she tries to call out to him.

"Bolt!, Bolt!"

Upon hearing this voice Bolt looks up, lifting his head up, he sees a young Asian girl with a bob cut who seems to be around his age, she is dressed in a white top and brown cargo pants with a pair of brown gloves on each palm of her hands, she uses her hand to push back a portion of her pink colored bangs which stands out from the rest of her silky black hair and smiles at Bolt in a delightful manner.

"Hey Bolt"

Bolt then stands up from the bench he is sitted on as the girl takes a step back away from him, Bolt starts to scratch the back of his hair while he Smiles with pretense.

"Oh!, hey Lisa didn't see you there for a moment"

The girl then moves closer to Bolt, with both of their faces now in close proximity to each other, she steers intensely at Bolt who is now confused and tries to take a step back from her.

"Bolt, Have you been getting enough sleep you look stressed" 

Bolt quickly nods his head as he smiles with pretense but his facial expression betrays him, Lisa angrily stumps her feet on the ground, takes in a large breath and points at Bolt.

"Liar!" 


Upon hearing her loud cry the other mine workers turn back to see what the cause of the commotion could be, Lisa who is unaware of all this continues to scold Bolt who stands flustered before her.


'You've been crying haven't you!, I know you have!, Grandpa Lox won't be able to rest in peace like this you know?"


Bolt seeing that Lisa had cought his lie lets out a big sigh, with both hands in his pockets and he's eyes closed he walks past Lisa who is still pointing at him. Lisa is surprised at this seeing as Bolt is no longer his normal jovial self, she then turns back to Bolt who is now a couple meters away from her and tries to call out to him.

"Bolt! wanna have lunch with me? today's menu is mesh potato, you know your favorite"


Bolt with his back turned to Lisa raises one of his hands out of his pockets into the air and starts to wave her good bye.

"I'm good, go on without me I want to be alone for a while"

Lisa with a worried expression engulfing her face palaces her two hands on her chest, bends her head as tears roll down her delicate checks, she whispers to herself.

"Stupid Bolt, I wanted to wish you happy birthday and you completely ignored me, I know how short tempered you can be, please don't do anything rash, please be careful"


As Bolt walks he starts to speak to himself in an intense manner which causes him to take little notice of his immediate surrounding.

"I'll avenge you all, Mom, Dad, Grandpa, Grandma every last one of you I'll make sure I avenge you,(Bolt takes a pause in his steps and looks at his palms), But in order to do that I need to be able to harness this power inside me, and the only way I can do that is by joining the surface workers and then I'll take them all down from within"

Upon saying this Bolt then clenches his fists and nods his head with a sense of resolution as he immediately turns back and starts to sprint to the tall building which he was lead to before. 
  After a while Bolt arrives at the building and heads straight for Jacks office, On getting to Jacks office Bolt knocks on his door. A voice then tells Bolt to enter, he barges into the office panting and let's out a loud cry.

"I'll do it!, I'll join the surface workers!"

Jack who is sitted on his chair with the man who knocked Bolt unconscious when he went berserk besides him looks at Bolt who is now covered in sweat and breathing heavily, Jack then smiles and pushes both his hands forward to Bolt.

"Ah Mr Mechna we we're just talking about you, look how much you've grown in the span of just four years, not so long ago you were a noisy eleven Year old boy now you're such a splendid young man, it seems you have come to a conclusion yes?"


Upon hearing Jack, Bolt who is still trying to regain his breath with sweat rolling across his face let's out a big shout and hits his fist on his chest.

"Is said yah!, I'll play your game"

Jack gets up from his sit and starts to move away from his desk as he passes the man who stood beside him and starts to head towards Bolt.

"Excellent, now that you've come to a conclusion we can get down to business, Mr Nakia"

Upon calling this name the Man who stood beside him starts to proceed to where Jack is standing, He then places his hand on Nakia and looks at Bolt.

"Bolt Mecha, Mr Nakia here will be in charge of overseeing you're training in order to make you a proper surface worker, I assure you his the best of the best, Nakia his in you're care"

After hearing this Nakia silently takes a step forward to Bolt, on getting to him he places his hands on his chin and starts to stroke it while he looks at Bolt intensely.

"Hmmmmmmm, fine I'll do it Mr Jack he has potential"

Jack then let's out a loud laugh and starts to clap and nod, Nakia then places his hands on Bolt and lowers his head close to his ear and whispers.

"Try anything funny to Mr Jack and I promise I will kill you, don't get ahead of yourself just because I said you have potential"

Immediately after saying this Bolt's facial expression is overshadowed with fear, Nakia then grabs him from the collar of his shirt and starts to drag him out of Jacks office while he places his second hand In his pocket.

"Well then Mr Jack, we'll be off"

Nakia then closes the door on his way out from Jack's office, There after Nakia brings Bolt to an open filled and drops him on the floor, Blot then gets up immediately.

"Ouch, what gives, that really hurt you know?"

With his back turned to Bolt who was still grumbling behind him and the wind blowing over the filled making the leaves on the tree to rustle, Nakia whispers to himself, immediately his hands turn into a black solid texture with red glowing cracks that emit smoke.
 Bolt is surprised and stops grumbling and steers at him, Nakia then turns and faces Bolt and says.

"It's time for our rematch, your pissed at me for knocking you out that time right? well now's your chance, Come at me Bolt Mechna".
