Book One: Alpha World

Eps. 14 Legendary Swords

“Nak.”The word came out very slowly and gently. My grandmother took me to the hospital garden that afternoon, after my grandfather passed from me and went to see my mother's surgery.

Grandpa and grandma came that afternoon with dad, a little while after me and Rais were silent in front of the patient room. A moment of grandfather directly pulled me to the end of the hallway, scolding me. Amidst my deep sadness while mom was still fainting, grandfather came and added to the pain in my heart. I'm not sure why, I believe her revenge on me is still very deep.Maybe she will really throw me out if no grandmother comes to hold her.

“Nak, are you okay?” Grandma said a little louder and broke my daydream with her clap on my shoulder.I shook my head as I continued wiping away my rushing tears.

“What....what grandfather will always be mad at me?” I asked with my hoarse voice. My sorrow is now multiplied.

“Ten easy Lian, relax!” Grandma clutched tightly onto my shoulder. My hands are clenching strong.

“ Why...why can't grandfather forget that incident? Why am I always accused?....Why Nek?...Why?” I hit my calf many times, my annoyance, worry and sadness peaked, my tears now flowed slowly. Grandma stared at me. He took a deep breath and looked up at the afternoon sky.

“Your grandfather included a great man, Lian. No one understands how he got to be a famous person on Alpha. Sixty years later he was at PT Alpha as Commander of Wood District

The gold. After sixty years it was also that he finally had an invincible ability.” I listened to my grandmother's story while wiping away the rest of my cries. Grandma looked at me again.

“Five years ago, your grandfather, Noca's grandfather, the fighter and scientist, chose to continue his knowledge and abilities. You know, if an Alpha member reaches a certain level he can pass his power on to the heir he wants, and your grandfather five years ago reached that level and you know who he chose?”

I'm shaking. Grandma really intrigued me.

“He chose to bequeath to your cousin, Sin. Then you know what happened three years ago. Back then, your cousin was killed at grandfather's house while staying over for the midterm holiday with a knife stuck in his neck.At that time, only you were in the room.”

I looked at grandma not accepting.

“I didn't know anything back then Grandma, that big knife passed over my head from the open window of the room. I'm innocent grandma!” My voice's hoarse.

“Then what about the fingerprints on the blade attached to the handle of the knife?”Grandma glanced at me.

“I...I don't know anything grandma, I'm accused grandma, believe me!” I looked at grandma.

Grandma sighed again, her gaze pointing forward. His hand patted my calf.

“Grandma trust you Lian..grandma trust.” The grandmother now opened the old watch in her hand, opened the hologram screen with both hands, showing an image of an old wooden box with a carved long sword.

“You know Lian, this is a box drawing of ‘sword Mirabilis’, legendary grandfather sword made by your grandfather's best friend used to be in Lower Hand district.”

I looked at the weird grandma, I stopped

my tears.

“Then what does that sword have to do with my problem with grandfather?”

Grandma closed the hologram screen.

“That legendary sword never

it was in Grandpa's hands. Grandfather had the sword hidden shortly after being forged because the power of the sword was said to exceed the ability of grandfather himself, even the ability of Rankers though.”

My eyes are rounded.

“Then grandma..last.?”

“The sword was taken away to the place

I wiped away my dried tears. Gained the trust of grandfather, my inner self.A moment later I stood straight staring at the sky.

“But it's very dangerous Lian, let alone you're alone without any natural power.” Grandma said worriedly.

I smile.

“But Nek..” I stared at the terrace of the hospital which is now quite crowded. Grandma is looking at me curious.

“I have friends.”Show me to the hospital terrace. There Rais, Kapi, Gina, Ella, Asuza, plus some of the Alpha Bet guys I knew came to see me in time. I smiled, Grandma smiled at my words.

Grandma smiled meaningfully,“ You're right Lian, as long as you have friends there's nothing you need to fear anymore.” He waved his hand, inviting my friends to join.

Professor Lan stopped long staring

his desk. He approached slowly, afraid something might happen. His eyes were rounded as he looked at a piece of wood with two emblems engraved side by side on his skin, The red-eye army with the emblem of two bloody eyes on a shield plus a large black sword covered in blood and another unknown organization with the emblem of two hands that shake hands tightly, I don't know what that sign means.

Professor Lan's gaze changed in fear, he looked in various directions. Who managed to send him to my desk? his inner. Professor Lan gazed back at the piece of wood, now turning to look at the small writing under the two emblems she had just seen.

Hi Professor,

Thank you for reading this letter in your last moments, and thank you for accepting one of my members to be your assistant so that we can steal some Alpha technology and information. Wait for our moments of awakening after finding the Mirabilis Sword, a sword that can subdue all Alpha members, including rankers. Wait in your death.

Ttd, Head

Rebel Union

Professor Lan closed her mouth, surprised by everything that happened. He fell down when all the technology around him died suddenly.He could only hear the footsteps of someone behind him. He tried to open the panel screen on his watch in a tremble. The person immediately pulled Professor Lan's hand and stomped it to a paled and made Professor Lan in great pain.

That person smiled a long time at Professor Lan.

“Hai Professor!” Said gently.

“You..you, what....what do you want huh?” Professor Lan barked with her trembling body. The man stomped on Professor Lan's feet even harder until he shouted loudly. But now the room they stepped on had both been sealed, the door and the window. Professor Lan's voice only echoed in the room. Everything was planned very carefully.

A moment only heard a scream of pain, until suddenly Professor Lan laughed.

“You, you why old man? You're crazy?”The man shouted furiously and took out a black pill from his pocket.

  “Hehe...hehe..hahh...you will still lose, son, still lose...hehehe, kindness always wins!.huk...huk.....will..there will always be someone to help Alpha nak, there..”

That person immediately put the black pill he carried into Professor Lan's mouth, forcing him to swallow the poison pill.

“You're wrong, old man, we're sure to win, I've researched all the information on Alpha and surface worlds, there's no Cetus organization, there's no Beta or Gamma, it's just your shit, old geezer, to get everyone on Alpha to follow your will! Huh! You heard that!” The person shouted at Professor Lan by pulling her ear, then dropped her hard.

“You don't believe huk...huk...wait...wait!” Professor Lan said weakly with a growing cough.

The person immediately smothered Professor Lan's mouth, making her immediately out of breath, and slowly her eyes moved shut.

“You lied grandfather, I know that, I know!Hahaha.” The person laughed loudly right before the danger alarm buzzed loudly. He left Professor Lan's body stiffened.
