2 Chapter II

Ekon would eventually went back to Anna's house. Anna notice Ekon on the walkway before eventually went out to greet him

"Hey Éky" Anna always like to call Ekon by his nickname that Anna gave to her long time ago.

"You know that i dont like to be called that way" Says Ekon as he walks to Anna while having a smirk on his face.

"It sounds adorable" Says Anna Teasingly at Ekon.

They both walk into the house and sat on the couch in the living room. Ekon pulls out the box that he found in Jaycent's apartment from his bag.

"What is that?" Says Anna as she notice the box Ekon is holding.

"Something Jaycent wanted me to find i guess" Ekon soon Pulled out a key from his bag that Gabriel gave to Ekon a few days earlier which was the key Jaycent gave to him before he Dissapeared. Ekon would soon use the key to open it and once opened, he could see that inside was filled with documents regarding Bluelight inc and one of them caught Ekon's Attention.

"Project Blackout" Says Ekon as he takes the document from the box.

"What about it" Anna Asked.

"Jaycent wants me to find a folder known as Project Blackout before he went missing, i guess this is what he wants me to find"

Ekon would open the folder and began reading about the project.

*Project Blackout is an on going project made by the Bluelight Advance Combat Operations Division or ACOD. Using the latest equipment and weapons provided by BlueLight, this division is tasked with developing advance warfare Tech.

One in particular is a ElectroMagnetic Pulse or EMP Device.

The Device is Capable to take out any sorts of electricity even a city if placed in a proper location.*

"Why would they create such device and why would many die finding out about this?" Ekon slowly turn to the next page uncovering Bluelight plans to create an improved version of the EMP device which is capable to turn one state into complete darkness.

"So thats why...." Says Ekon as he turn to look  at Anna sitting beside him.

"That's why what?" Anna Asked.

"If what im guessing is true, Bluelight is planning to attack" Ekon would turn to the next page afterwards.

"Attack? on who?" Anna asked as she begins to frown

"I don't know" Ekon aswered.

Ekon would turn to the next page where he found a small note attached to the page. He would picked it up as he raise his eyebrow. He noticed there was an address and a name written into it.

"Tony? why would Jaycent want with this guy?" Jaycents said as he fold the paper and put it into his bag.

___________________________________________

The following afternoon Jaycent would travel to the address written in the paper, the are was rather shady considering its in the outskirts of town.

Jaycent would soon arrived at the location.

He began climbing up the steps leading to the front poarch of the 2 story floor building.

He would then ring the bell beside the door to see whether anyone is home.

"Who is it?" A grumpy voice could be heard from inside the house, few seconds later someone opened the door.

"Who the heck are you?" the man asked Ekon as he grow Suspecious over him.

"You tony?" Ekon asked.

"Depending in who the fuck is asking" the man replied as his raise his eyebrows.

"You know Jaycent"

"Yeah, who you suppose to be?"

"His friend"

"Look, if you want to talk about "friends" then i might aswell go back rather than having you wasting my time" the man would slowly shut the door "Its about Bluelight" the man would slowly turn his head to Ekon with a frown on his face.

"How much do you know about Bluelight?"

"Pretty much till having my mom and friend getting killed"

The man soon opens the door and nodded before telling him to get in.

They both would enter the family room.

"Sit down" Ekon nodded slightly and sat down.

"Name's Tony, Tony Lorendo what's yours?"

"Ekon, Ekon Nikosi"

"Ekon? What kind of language is that" Tony giggled.

"Swahili" Ekon replied as he giggled.

"You born in africa or something?" Says Tony as he chuckled.

"No, my mom and dad usually likes to travel to Africa, guessing that's where they learn about my name and named me with it eventually" saya Ekon as he sighed.

"Anyways, what does Jaycent wants from you?" Ekon asked.

Tony would stand up and sighed "Come with me" he would soon walks to a door leading towards the stairs.

They both walk upstairs and they both enter a room. Inside Ekon could see pictures and papers sticked into the walls.

"What is all this?" Ekon asked

"Well this is where i do my research on Bluelight" Tony Replied as he set down on his swivel chair.

"So what do you know about Bluelight?" Tony Continues.

"Well, all i know is that they are Developing a device" Ekon replied.

"What kind of device?"

"One that would shut down an entire state"

Tony was shocked hearing what Ekon says.

"I guess its true then.." Says Tony.

"What's true?" Ekon asked.

"During my research, i manage to uncover one of Bluelights plans" Tony explained.

"What plans?" Ekon asked as he raise an eyebrow

"An attack on the US" Tony answered.

_____________________________________________

Ekon would return home a few hours later.

"Hey Ekon" Anna Greeted.

"Hey Anna" Ekon Replied.

Ekon would sat on the couch as he run his fingers thru his hair.

"What's wrong?" Asked Anna.

"Nothing.. it's just..im tired that's all" Ekon would lay down on the couch pillow.

"You know, the more i sleep here in this couch the more i feel it belongs to me now" they both chuckled.

"So what you plannin to do for tommorow?" Anna asked.

Ekon would let out a slight sighed "I dont know, im clueless on what to do next, heck, the only good thing is that im pretty Bluelight thinks im dead".

"Well we could go to the bronx tomorrow" Says Anna.

"Hmm.. alright" Ekon Answered.

____________________________________________

"So.." Anna says

"So what?" Ekon smirked at her

"You didnt told me what you are doing with Tony yesterday" Anna Answered

"Well, this is isnt the best place to talk about it" Ekon Replied

"Oh...ok, maybe... you can tell me later" Says Anna.

"Sure" suddenly Ekon felt this odd feeling that they were being watch. Anna notice the troubled looks that Ekon has "is everything alright?" Anna asked.

"Y-yeah.." Ekon replied

"You sure, because i know that look of yours" says Anna.

"Everything is fine..its just..i feel something is odd" Ekon answered while Looking around.

"What's odd" Anna asked.

"I feel like we are being watch" Ekon answered.

"I dont know, maybe its just me being paranoid..lets just call it a day, we got what we want right?" Ekon asked.

"Yeah" Anna Answered.

_____________________________________________

The next day Ekon Went To Tony's place after he called Ekon to meet him. Ekon would shortly arrived at Tony's. He could see a man sitting down on the stairs leading to the door.

"Hey Ekon" Tony greeted.

"What do you want?" Ekon asked.

"Do you really have to be that rude? I just want to talk to you about something that i found rather...interesting".

"What is it about?" Ekon asked.

"Well, come inside and I'll tell you" They both would get inside and went to the living room.

"Sit down" Tony ordered.

Ekon would sit down afterwards on the couch.

"So..what is it?" Ekon asked.

Tony would let out a sighed before answering "remember when i told you about the attack that would be happening".

"Yeah?" Ekon answered as he raise an eyebrow.

"Well, Bluelight has a reason behind that" Tony Answered.

"What reason?" Ekon asked.

"Apparently The goverment owes the company a large amount of debt that the goverment hasn't paid yet, this debts includes payments for...sending Bluelight personel for Black ops mission around the world" Tony explained.

"Then? what does this have to do with the attack?" Ekon asked.

"Well, because of the debt that our goverment had on them, they planned to shut Bluelight down which i would say

...pretty stupid thing to do" Tony Replied.

"So basickly, they want to attack us, just for that? that doesn't make any fucking sense". Says Ekon.

"I know, it doesn't make any sense although...i feel like there is more to the story than meets the eye... although honestly, i feel kinda pitty for them but hey, there is no such thing as a perfect goverment" says Tony as he chuckled.

"Anyways want me to get you something to drink? Coffee maybe?" Says Tony as he smirked.

"Sure" Ekon Answered.

_____________________________________________

"Cmon Éky, its time to wake up.." Anna Whispers.

"Mmm...what time is it" said Ekon yawning.

"Its 2 in the afternoon Ding dong" Anna Answered

"2 PM? Geez" Ekon replied.

"Cmon, lets get you sometin to eat" Anna Replied, Ekon would wear his clothes and got up from his "favorite" couch and joined Anna in the kitchen afterwards.

"I forgot to say sometin to you" Says Ekon.

"What?" Asked Anna as she raise an eyebrow.

Ekon then kissed Anna in the cheek before answering "good morning or should i say.. afternoon" Ekon chuckled.

"Afternoon to you too" says Anna before she kisses Ekon back.

They both sat down on the chair in the kitchen and enjoy themselves some bacon and egg.

Ekon notice something was off with Anna due to the troubled look on her face, he sighed and asked "what's wrong".

Anna sighed before replying "nothing".

Ekon smirked "C'mon Anna, i know you" Ekon would put down his fork down and walk to the chair beside Anna before sitting down.

Ekon gently put his hand on Anna shoulder "you can tell me anything".

Anna sighed in defeat before answering "These days i just don't feel like myself"

"Ohh.." Ekon finally realized what's going on, and put a bet on his guess, "You're at that time of the month, huh" "Are you kidding me right now??" Anna's tone got higher, even though it made Ekon slightly let out a chuckle, "Then, can you please let me know what is going on?" Ekon begged her as his hands firmly hold her hands. Anna's sighed and slowly take her hands out of his grip. 

"My parents knew about this. About you.." Anna's sight started to become blur as her tears came out, voice tone started to break and in a short time she fell deep into sadness, "They wanted me to stay away..from you. I keep on making sure that I'm safe and far from danger but.. they just refuse to listen. What should I do?" Without thinking any further, Ekon quickly hug her tight. "It's okay...you know, I put on a purpose and that saved me everyday. Do you know what that is?" asked Ekon as he put out a smile, "Everyday, eversince we two were...apart....i can't never stop thinking about you and i...i always regretted the times i've been a jerk and bad mate to you and" hearing Ekon's explanation just made Anna's bursted to tears, but this time, with a smile. Ekon then held her hands, "I will make sure to prove your parents that we can be together and that you're far from danger, at the same time. All you have to do is just listen to what I say, okay?" Says Ekon.

Anna noded at Ekon before answering "okay".

"Always remember, you're my everything" Says Ekon as He gazed into Anna's eyes.

Even though it would be hard for Anna's to give lots of space if she agreed to that, but it seemed like it has to be done. With full optimism, Anna hugged her boyfriend before letting him go back to their normal activities.

_____________________________________________

"Mmmhmm...what is it now" says Ekon as he woke up from his nap due to the sound of his phone ringtone buzzing.

He then grabbed his phone from the table infront of him to check who's the caller which turned out to be Tony "What does this guy want" Says Ekon as he press on the call button.

"𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘢 𝘛𝘝 𝘪𝘯 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘺𝘪𝘯?" Tony asked.

Ekon looked on the TV just across him before answering "Yeah..why?".

"𝘛𝘶𝘳𝘯 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘸𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘺𝘰𝘶"𝘭𝘭 𝘴𝘦𝘦" Tony Answered.

Ekon turn on the TV and Switched to the news before increasing The volume.

*𝘈 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘸𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘣𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘞𝘢𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘰𝘯 𝘋𝘊, 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘦𝘤𝘩𝘯𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘊𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘵𝘰𝘭 𝘗𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘤𝘶𝘳𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘭𝘺 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘹 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘴𝘴𝘶𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺*

"So why? Its just the powerplant having problems that's all" Says Ekon as he scoffed.

"𝘑𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘒𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘞𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨" Says Tony.

*𝘏𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘓𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘴 𝘢 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘣𝘭𝘶𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘢𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘳𝘢 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘬𝘺 𝘴𝘦𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘴 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘸𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘥𝘢𝘳𝘬. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘧𝘪𝘨𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘴 𝘴𝘢𝘸*

The smirk on Ekon's face faded away as soon as he heard what the news correspondent said.

"A-Are you saying that...its happening?" Ekon asked.

"𝘔𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦, 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘺𝘦𝘵, 𝘴𝘰 𝘪𝘮 𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘢 𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘮 𝘶𝘱 𝘰𝘳 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘪 𝘴𝘢𝘺...𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘵𝘴" Tony Answered.

"Geez.." Says Ekon.

"What you watchin?" A voice called out to him from behind.

"Oh Anna, its..its notin...just the news" Ekon answered.

"You look troubled, is something wrong?" Anna Asked.

"Nothing...i promise" says Ekon as he smiles.

_____________________________________________

The following morning Ekon went to Tony's again after Tony told him to meet up with him at his place.

Once arrived he noticed that his door was slightly open which was strange considering he know Tony isn't a type of guy who leave doors open for no absolute reason.

Ekon would slowly open the door before calling out Tony's name but no response was heard.

He then made his way up only to Tony's "research" room only to find Tony laying on the floor unconscious.

"Tony!" Ekon yelled as he rush to him "wake up you jackass!" says Ekon as he tried to "shake him and slap him" to try to wake Tony.

Suddenly a slight mumbling sound can be heard from Tony "mmmhmm...E-Ekon?" Says Tony weakly as he gain his vision little by little.

Ekon sighed in relief before asking "What happen?".

"Bluelight...they came..." Tony answered.

"What do they want from you" Ekon asked.

"They want me to shut up but..you know that I can't and besides, i got nothing to lose if im dead" Says Tony.

"Do they know about me?" Ekon asked.

"Nope..maybe idk, if they know you're dead then you're dead". Says Tony as he Smirked.

"Hope so" Ekon replied.

Ekon then helped Tony to get up, suddenly Tony felt a sharp pain in his chest and wince.

"You ok?" Ekon asked.

"Dont worry about me kid, we got bigger stuff to be worried about" Tony answered.

"Like?" Ekon Asked.

"I found out Bluelight plans, the attack on the capitol was the first step in their plan to..taking over the country and the funny thing is that somehow and someway the Russians is backing them up aswell" Says Tony as he Smirked.

"The Russians?" Ekon asked.

"Well if you think the cold war is over, well your dead wrong cause in their eyes its still going on" Tony Replied.

"The Russians also want a...how do i put this...piece of the cake" Tony Continues.

"So, they also want to invade us?" Ekon asked while raising an eyebrow.

"Well...i think you can put it that way. Bluelight is just a pawn for the Russians to commence their glorious quote on quote Vengence" Tony answered.

"Besides, the Russians been funding their projects for atleast 3 years if I'm not wrong, but hey, that's just how business works in this "Capitalist society" " says Tony.

"So you're a communist?" Ekon asked as he smirked.

"Well, I'm a socialist but, you don't need to be a socialist just to be one, what matters is what you do cause you know what they say "action speaks louder then words" " says Tony as he chuckled.

"So what you gonna do now?" Ekon asked.

"Well since they know where i live, might aswell i get off the grid for awhile and stay in my safehouse downtown" Tony answered.

"You have a Safehouse?" Ekon asked.

"Well..yes but..you know what nevermind but the point is yes, i do" Tony replied.

"I'll tell you the location once I'm set up there, now get out of here" Ekon would then leave Tony and went back to Anna's.

_____________________________________________

Few days went by and Tony hasn't been able to be contacted. Ekon guess he needed to rest cause beside, being beaten up isn't a pleasant experience and Ekon knows that firsthand.

"Hey Ekon" Anna calls.

"Yeah?" Ekon replied.

"Wanna go out tonight" Anna Asked.

"Meh sure" Ekon answered.

"Great!" Says Anna as she smiled.

Ekon's phone rang and he grabbed it to check it out only to find out it was Tony. He then picked it up and press the call button.

"Hey Tony, where you been" Asked Ekon.

"𝘠𝘦𝘢𝘩 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵, 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘣𝘶𝘴𝘺 𝘴𝘦𝘵𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘶𝘱 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦" Says Tony.

"𝘎𝘦𝘭𝘴𝘰 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘓𝘪𝘵𝘵𝘭𝘦 𝘐𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘺, 30 𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘴" Tony Ordered

"Aight" Ekon replied.

He then hang up the phone and began to prepare himself to meet Tony.

"Where you going?" Anna asked as she walked to Ekon.

"Meeting Tony, dont worry I'll be back before tonight" Says Ekon as he kissed Anna's cheek.

"Be careful" Says Anna in a worrying tone.

"I will" Ekon then went out to Meet Tony.

_____________________________________________

Ekon would arrived at Gelso and Grand.

"Ekon!" A voice called out to Him, it was Tony.

"Hey Tony" Ekon greeted as he walked to Tony

"Sit down" Tony requested.

Ekon then sat down on the opposite side of the table.

"What took you so long" Ekon asked.

"Easy there brother, we don't want to start any dumb arguments dont we" Says Tony As he Chuckled.

"Hehe true" Ekon Replied as he giggled.

"Anyways back to business" Says Tony

"What is it about" Ekon Asked

"Well, Blue-" suddenly the lights went out and people started to panic.

"The fuck?" Says Ekon, confused on what is happening.

"Uh Ekon...look up" Says Tony as he points to the sky with a terrified look.

Ekon then turn around and gasped as he notice a mixed of white and blue aurora covering the sky.

"Its Happening" says Tony in a still shocked expression.
