"But it's hard for him to change into someone completely different, I mean his previous life wanted him to overthink, it was a little too fast to expect him to become an action-packed commando.  His former life was peaceful and calm, he was a normal citizen and needed time to adjust to his current changes," Jake said to Christopher while they left the training hall.

"He doesn't require such a waste of useful time."

"What! Why? Jake queried when he heard Christopher.

"Because his life had changed from the very moment those nightmares attacked, do you know why I accepted him? I used my soul's eyes and what I saw was unbelievable, that boy isn't ordinary, I haven't told him, but the reason his anger always takes over is that he awakened. Unlike us, his soul is too vast, it is an uncharted land that has been divided and if he doesn't learn control he'll lose himself to his rage, then! Training him is useless because I'll be training a monster"

"Cracked soul, that's…. I thought you said only that kid you saw years back could…" Jake's eyes widened "That kid you saw is Derek!"

"Exactly, then his soul was united but his drastic awakening seemed to have caused a crack between them, his emotions are much more sensitive than normal so the situation that caused him to awaken caused a drastic change, Derek is Silver, he awakened as Silver, the cold-hearted man with one agenda, we became teleporters when we awakened, but Derek became a different being but luckily the change is slow, it will take time so we have to make him learn restraint and control," Christopher said while entering the sitting room.

"I don`t know how a human could possess such a vast soul but his powers took a different path, one gave him the seething rage, anger, and the path to vengeance while the other was to keep the balance," Christopher continued while pressing a button on the table and Derek's daggers appeared, his eyes glowed and his vision changed, a black smoke surrounded the western dagger as a cold threatening aura emanated from it while the eastern dagger was surrounded with a cloud of white smoke which also had a cold area though it was calm.

"Should he learn control he'll be able to use his powers to the peak, with a good mastery in martial arts and throwing skills he'll be ready" Christopher said with squinted eyes as his eyes stopped glowing, he stared at his arm and his gauge appeared, a whopping ten percent had disappeared from his Genoforce, at his rank such reduction was alarming but it was the price for using soul's eyes.

Christopher knew what he was preparing Derek for, it was a place those who wanted strength and experience needed to go.

Jake slumped on a couch and sighed "It's going to be hard for him" He knew it wouldn't be easy for Derek to fully control his abilities.

"Get me something to eat, I'm starving" Christopher changed the topic as he shooed Jake towards the kitchen while he turned on the holovision, to him Derek would surely learn control, the kid was a fast learner and how did he know that, well turns out some people had found out about Derek even before he noticed his difference.

Derek entered a private room at Vista and sighted a hooded individual staring out the floor-to-ceiling window, a mischievous smile appeared on his face and he silently walked towards the person, his arms shot out and his fingers tickling the individual's waist "Kayaa!" with a shocked scream she abruptly stood up as the hood fell revealing a stunning beauty with flowing white hair, her ruby eyes widened when she saw Derek, her fist collided against his shoulder with a loud reverberating laughter escaping Derek's lips, Angel stared at the laughing Derek and a beautiful smile appeared on her face. It has been more than seven years since she last saw Derek laughing and it warmed her heart.

Derek sat down opposite her and stared at the sumptuous dish which was mostly his favorite. He faced Angel "How did you escape the base?"

A sensual smile appeared on Angel's face as her lips curved upwards "I have my ways, what level are you now?" Derek could see the anticipation in Angel's eyes but he had no choice but to disappoint her "I am still learning the basics" he grimaced.

Her slightly disappointed eyes and Derek's helpless eyes met.  A playful light flashed within her ruby eyes and she bolted out of the room causing Derek to sigh.  Angel still hasn't changed, he got up and left the room. Outside he saw Angel hailing a taxi, the huge hood made Derek chuckle as she looked cute as she walked about hailing every vehicle she saw, her white sneakers danced on the paved sidewalk as Angel turned to Derek and beckoned for him as she had successfully hailed a taxi.

Inside the taxi "Where are we going?" Derek asked with raised brows, Angel turned to the driver "I'll pay you any amount just drive" The driver nodded. "I'll soon be going on a mission and I don't know when I'll be back so…" she leaned, her lips locked with Derek's.

Going from one fun place to another, Derek unlike before had a smile throughout the whole day, the sun had begun to set as Derek and Angel walked on the sidewalk, and many girls were stunned as they sighted the slightly pale man, whose handsome face seemed to be carved from ancient ice, he wore black and carried a girl on his back, her white hair was scattered over her back as she kept poking the man's cheeks with her slender finger while he would chuckle.

It was shocking to see the man going against his imposed nature to show such an attractive smile after walking for a while Derek stopped before a street light and gently dropped Angel, she was slightly tipsy from Derek's affection as she held onto his arm "Derek the nightmares are coming, I don't know how many soldiers would sacrifice their lives to hold them back," she mumbled.

Though the specific time wasn't known, it was a fact that the nightmares were about to launch an attack, and the number of rulers had proven that fact.

Derek cupped her face and stared into her enchanting red eyes, he had to admit, Angel's current beauty was quite shocking especially when she had this look. "Well they are saving the lives of billions," he said blandly.

Angel pressed her lips and sighed "I know you would say that what if I told you that we were assigned to the frontlines and the probability of the team survival…" She stopped and stared at Derek whose gaze had changed, he couldn't believe what he heard. Angel is a Crawford, how could she be sent to such a dangerous spot? no something must be wrong, no one would try such a thing except if there was a problem. Reading Derek's thoughts Angel confirmed it "Uncle Roland has quite several enemies, most of them have top positions in the army."

"Wait there's a catch"

Angel nodded "I know my family has already prepared an extraction procedure should things go bad, but I can't leave my friends to die"

"Angel you're smarter than this, you are more important!" Derek said without any feelings for the others, though he had good thoughts about Roland when it came to Angel's safety everyone was currently dispensable.

Angel stepped closer and embraced Derek "I can't lose my friends, I've known them for more than four years and…" she couldn't finish her words as Derek spoke, "The nightmare attack won't be happening anytime soon, let's focus on increasing our strength."

"Hmm" Angel nodded as a taxi soon arrived, a kiss on his cheeks was her parting gift as the taxi disappeared into the sea of cars on the road, Derek stood at the same spot with different lights flashing through his eyes, watching as people walk past him and some people laughing with few couples enjoying each other's embrace, these people knew nothing about the sacrifices many soldiers had done just to keep those smile on their faces.

Derek slipped his hands into his pockets and walked away. A new resolve flashed through his mind, those beasts were the ones who killed his parents, and the families of those soldiers will feel the pain while their siblings or children may be bullied by the children of the rich. He would enact vengeance on those that caused his family's death but Christopher was right, he was too weak, what he needed was time but time seemed to be against him.

While in deep thought a loud yell brought him back to reality.

"Leave me alone you bastards!" he heard a scream and turned towards the alley, the lights couldn't reach that spot but he could see human Silhouettes. He shook his head and continued moving when he heard another scream "don't touch that, it is for my mom!."

Derek closed his eyes and opened them, though it was a small action he had made a decision exhaling loudly he turned towards the alley and three words left his lips, though he didn't shout the people there could hear his words as they turned back.
