I checked out my mother, she actually is unhappy, I can not let her simply be like this. “Mother, I do know this bizarre and stuffs, however cannot they simply select one other agent? Do not we’ve kinfolk and cousins on the market? Why not them?” I requested.

Macabulos stood, “I’ll go away you guys for awhile, Valerie, clarify properly to your son all the things and as soon as all the things is cleared up, I’ll transient him for his coaching and likewise, his mission.” He stated, leaving me and my mom within the room.

“I promise Mother. I promise you and I’ll by no means fail you. I’ll prepare laborious, I promise.” I stated.

She hugged me so tight, “Don’t fret, I work in right here too as a spouse of the ex-Datu Puti and likewise the mom of the Datu Puti, I’ll at all times be right here on the head quarters.” She stated.

“Wait, you’re employed right here Mother? However I assumed there have been solely 10 brokers?” I requested.

“Sure, there are solely 10 brokers however after all a company will want workers too proper?” She answered like clearly.

“Oh yeah proper.”

“Come on,” she lead me to the hallway and we walked round, and I used to be like Wow, actually. It is like you’re strolling on an area ship, throughout you was excessive tech issues, hologram screens like Iron Man’s JARVIS, some workers till my Mother lead me to an workplace with an engraved identify of Datu Macabulos within the door.

Mother knocked, “Datu Macabulos is the simplest to befriend amongst all, for he’s the coach of all heroes right here, which suggests, he’s the best and most vital agent right here. He’s just like the Chiron to Hercules, Yoda to Skywalker, Jackie Chan to Jaden Smith in Karate Child…”

My mother opened the door and nodded to Macabulos and she or he checked out me “This may take lengthy my son, be a great child okay?”

“Lengthy?”

My mom smiled and I went in and she or he closed the door.

So Macabulos’s workplace, it is like essentially the most quaint a part of the entire place, his workplace is sort of a Victorian type of classroom with wood bookshelves, wood desk and chairs, recordsdata on the desk and so forth. Simply previous type you recognize.

“Whats up Datu Puti, don’t fret, I do know everybody’s names, like their actual names as a result of I’m like their database and stuffs however after all you’ll by no means know the opposite’s actual names. So hello Datu Puti,” he provided his hand for a shake, I shook it and launched, “I’m Datu Macabulos, I’m principally the chaperone of the entire group, the one who trains, the one who watches over them, the communication specialist. Right here I’m.” He stated in a Normal of the military kind of voice briefing his troopers earlier than plummeting on their deaths.

“I’ll let you know the what, why, when, the place and the way of the Anakdatu. So first, I’ll let you know what on Earth are you doing right here. Properly, you’re the subsequent in line of the bloodline of your Father, and I’m positive your mom defined that. That is the Anakdatu, the oldest, not simply the oldest but in addition the primary espionage group within the Philippines and likewise a freelancer for we’re not and by no means linked with the NBI or the federal government, nobody is aware of about us, we’re hidden.

“Subsequent is why, why does Anakdatu exist?”, now he’s sounding extra probably of an inspirational speaker, “We exist to guard the folks of the Philippines, properly, I am going to additionally reply the when, we began again within the 1500s, the place the very well-known Fernando Magallanes, or extra generally known as Ferdinand Magellan landed with the bunch of Spaniards within the isles of Cebu. The good king Lakan Dula, which is the place held by the present common or chief of this group thought that there is likely to be issues in the event that they tolerated the overseas guys, so there, he collected 9 different nice leaders in his regime to be alert always incase issues worsen. So we’ll go to

“He began looking from the bottom and most vital of ranks, the place you’re holding proper now agent Datu Puti after which Bankaya, Sikatuna, Sumakwel and my place, Macabulos, as what your mom advised you earlier, then we’ll proceed. After which there comes Manooc, or Datu Manooc, properly, Datus are principally for formalities so let’s name them by identify solely.

After which there comes Dailisan, the Main, and the deadliest sniper too within the Philippines, additionally, he by no means misses a headshot, 647,854 headshots and counting, he’s very superior.”

I jawdropped, “He’s certainly superior, why cannot I be the Dailisan? He’s just like the awesomest of the bunch” I requested.

He smirked, “Everyone needs that place too Datu Puti, however it’s at all times on the blood, he’s the present predecessor of Dailisan so yeah.” He stated.

“What? So there aren’t any promotions on this group? That’s kinda unhappy, anyhow, proceed to the opposite three positions.” I stated, sort of disillusioned, I assumed I could be like that Dailisan man.

“Sadly sure, so shifting on, after Dailisan is Pagbuaya, we name him the tank, the beserker, the Rambo,” he stifled amusing, “He’s simply so robust that one time he recieved 105 bullet hits of excessive caliber weapons throughout his physique and shrapnel too from Claymores and grenades and he ain’t simply quittin’, he’s the weapon specialist of the group however likes the mini-gun fairly the perfect. And the best warrior of all of them, Lapu lapu, he’s just like the Metallic Gear Strong’s Snake, he can deal with a pistol like it’s a sniper, a sword, a sniper, a machine gun, a bazooka, any weapon and he can deal with and it’s also a requirement for a Lapu-lapu agent to be a black belter in Krav Maga, Jiu Jitsu, Muay Thai, MMA, Boxing and CQC for it will be significant. He can infiltrate a 500 man hideout alone, similar to what he did to retrieve your dad. And lastly, the Lakan Dula, in case you thought he’s some sort of man who solely sits and watches his Datus do their jobs, properly, you bought that unsuitable, this man, is all the different 9 mixed, he’s most definitely a trump card, the final selection when issues go very unsuitable however when his expertise usually are not wanted, he serves as the overall of the entire group, the mastermind, the spider in the midst of the net and so forth. And likewise, we’re situated underground of the Quezon Metropolis Memorial Circle monument, 6 kilometers underground. And likewise, across the Philippines, each area has a sanctuary for all of the Datus, like a house-base to allow them to keep there every time they’ve any missions on that space. And lastly, we name our bases “The Hut”, no, not Jabba sort of the Hutt, however it’s simply to honor the primary Datus who made our group. Do you perceive all the things I’ve blurted out right here soldier? Reply” he stated, in a Drill Sergeant manner once more.

“Sure sir”, I answered “However why does was this group by no means caught the attention of the federal government or the general public? Like 1500s was like 518 years in the past proper? Why?”

“That’s the why query, properly, we’re identified very a lot from the general public, and our first public look is the KKK motion the place Emilio Aguinaldo is our Lakan Dula and Andres Bonifacio as our Lapu lapu. We hid our identify because the KKK motion as a result of we can not act secretly at these occasions for it’s warfare, stealth and espionage is just not the reply at these occasions in order that they deliberate a full out blast, however altering the identify to KKK to cover our true id. Anymore questions?” He requested.

“Ohh, proper, I did not considered that, superior historical past by the best way.” I stated.

Wow, I used to be similar to wow, I do know these are the feedback that got here out from my mouth from that historical past however actually, it’s wow for me. Like who would imagine, some spy guys working underground, defending the sanity of the Philippines for over 500 years and counting and nobody ever notices them, simply superior certainly. However wait,

“However I’m not prepared but.” I blurted out.

“Properly, duh, after all you are not. Take a look at your lanky scrawny physique, how will you final within the battlefield with that? After all you’ll endure coaching that the Anakdatu formulized to make the perfect troopers. You’ve got obtained data already on linguistics soldier, out of your dad after all and likewise atleast a blue belt on a number of kinds of martial arts, additionally from the courtesy of your father so certainly, you’re nearly prepared however you want power, endurance, and much extra. No worries, 5 months and You’re able to go but-” He faltered

Somebody touched my shoulder from the again, I shuddered and let loose a stunned horrified scream and checked out my again and there may be this Snake Eyes man like from G.I. Joe,”What the hell?!” I stated and I nearly peed my pants.

“Sikatuna, the grasp of stealth and reconnaissance, welcome. It’s best to get used to Sikatuna, Datu Puti, for he’s at all times like that.” Macabulos stated jokingly.

“Properly rattling, heck I might dwell with this, I nearly peed my pants!” I stated.

“Sorry,” Sikatuna stated sheepishly, “Properly, we obtained information for you Macabulos and Puti, uh the previous Datu Puti is again.” He stated as he goes out the door once more, he simply went in to unfold the information.

“Oh properly,” Macabulos shrugged, “The reality is you possibly can’t exit but, as your mother advised you too that this may take lengthy..” He checked out me with a glint of mischief in his eyes, “Dying Lure”.

I regarded dumbfounded, “Uh what?”, he disappeared like a cloud of smoke. “Hey!” I advised him.
