Nis
NIS HAD TO STOP NICA FROM PUNCHING THE WALL. When the video call ended, Nis heard his younger twin sister curse-- it's probably be the best not to repeat it.
"That little git!" Nica punched the wall.
"Nica, stop that!" he went to her and took her fist. It was bleeding. "Nico, get the first aid kit in the kitchen."
"On it." Nico left.
He tried to calm her down. Nico came back, he brought the kit. He applied some medicine on her bleeding fist and she didn't even wince.
"That guy's probably joking." Nico said nervously.
"He's Dr. Collusus! He never jokes! Ugh!" Nica said with gritted teeth.
"Calm down sis. Now, does any of of you even know what the Codex looks like?" Nis asked. All heads turned to Nica.
"What?"
"You work for Libero. You should know what it looks like." Niche said.
"Yes, I work for Libero. But I don't know what 'it' looks like! My only job is to kill for them. I'm an assassin! Not an assistant!" Nica half-yelled.
"Okay? Well, we have until tomorrow midnight to figure out what the Codex looks like. If we don't find it out and give it to them, mom and dad might be killed." Niche pointed out.
Nis just looked at his siblings. They had to figure out what 'it' looks like. "Okay, let's try this. Search the things we brought and find a possible Codex. And somebody lend me headphones. I need to check something on my computer and I need it for sound reference."
"I brought the headphones I found." Nica voiced out.
"Okay. Nica give it to Nis. We need to figure out where they are and find the Codex, whatever that is. Let's go."

Nis scrolled down the screen on his laptop. He borrowed Nica's phone and tracked the call of Dr. Collusus. Nica came in his room, headphones in hand. She gave it to him.
"Here."
"Thanks." he took it. He noticed Nica was gloomy. "Don't worry. We'll get through this."
"I hope. You don't know Dr. Collusus as much as I do. Also, I think I got an idea about Codex. I heard it from one of my victims."
"Which one?"
"Victor Waters." Nica signed and sat next to Nis. She opened her own laptop.
"Wait, you killed him? But didn’t he committed suicide by jumping out a window?" he questioned and looked at her.
"He didn't 'jump' out the window. I 'threw' him out the window." Nis looked at her, wide-eyed.
"Okay? Now, you were saying about you have an idea about the Codex ?"
Nis saw Nica smile. He chuckled too. Well, he was nervous. Unlike her, he had never killed anyone. He was just a mechanic, not an agent. Or worse a maniac, okay maybe a little, but just a little.
"Before, I, you know, flung him out the window, he mentioned something about the Astil Codex. I never knew, since Libero never really gives assassins like me any information other than, 'This guy's a liability. Kill him.' and the likes." Nica explained.
"Wow. Anyway, go on."
"I hacked some of Waters' files and found this." she showed him a document.
"'Project Astil Codex. Libero world domination.' The heck?"
"Yeah. Astil Codex is a mind control plan. I heard it once from Dr. Collusus before, too. I just can't believe it slipped my mind."
"So, you think they're on the move for their world domination?" Nis asked.

"Yeah. Like most of the evil organization in the movies and books." she sighed. "Cliché much? It says here that 'Astil is the mind control chip, while the Codex is the manual'?"
"What?" Nis took her laptop and checked it. "'Manual'?"
"Yeah. I think the Codex is literally a manuscript?" Nis stated.
"So it's a bound book?"
"That I don't know."
"Okay. You try figure that one out, I'll try and track that Dr. Crazy of yours." she nodded.
Nis faced his laptop. He was gonna put the headphones but there was one problem. 'Where's the cord?' he thought. He was gonna ask Nica when he saw a flash drive tip. He saw a button-like thing and pushed it forward. The flash drive tip went out.
Curious, Nis put it in his laptop. His laptop read it. And it 'was' a flash drive. He opened it and saw it.
"Codex." he muttered.
At the same time, Nica piped up. "Nis! I think I know what the Codex looks like!"
"Let me guess. A flash drive in a form of pure black headphones?"

8 213A Forgotten Hero
(author: This is gonna be a long synopsis I apologise. This should be a prolouge but as you will see I have a seperate prolouge, please forgive me. This fiction as a warning beforehand is as basic as it comes, prettymuch following all story conventions of both the mecha and school life genres. I am mostly writing this to figure out my writing style before I begin something truly creative and uique. I dont wanna ruin something I worked hard on by being illiterate. Also illustrations are at a minimum because all I have access to is MS paint.) In the year 2028 humanity (accidentally) created the means to travel great distances through space in a short period of time. This has led humanity down the road of great technological advancement and also led to the spread of humanity across their home system and just begiining first steps upon other solar systems planets. In the year 2033 the human colonies in space broke from the chains of their old countries creating hyper advanced societies disregarding nationality and any other defining factor. Two space societies formed the Solar Empire a monarchic society with its capitol on the moon Titan which controeld the entire human home system aside from Earth which still remained divided into seperate contries. The other was the Extra-solar Leauge. A mysterious society outside of easy contact range with any other humans besides themselves. To help with construction and other work outside of sealed and breatheable atmospheres of their cities and ships the Solar Empire and Extra-Solar Leauge created what became known as Advanced Movement Shells(AMS). These machines are best described as huge exoskeletons or "mechs", and they aided greatly in getting things done by increasing strength, durability, and the amount of tools able to be used. They also aided in quelling rebellions among extremist groups forming in these new societies. Finally in the year 2050 the Solar Empire having divinated their emperor, and now beliving themselves to be their religions chosen people, the Solar Empire declared a holy war of conquest against all the nations of Earth in order to conquer it under the idea that all humanity was required to bend to their divine emperors rule. The first month of the war whent badly for earth as the divided nations fell one by one due to the Empires superior weaponry among other technologies which made their forces nearly invincible. The AMS were used to great effect due to their almost "magical" level of technological advancement. Some nations able to put up some kind of defense created their own versions of these technological terrors. From there the war became a brutal stalemate and suddenly was won by the forces of earth. Why this is still hasn't come to the light of the common man, but one thing is for certain it took a heroic effort from one, or many people to win it for humanity...
