[Final Arc - #3]
...----------------...
"Hey you!" shouted someone while running towards two men not far in front of him. They both looked at him.
"How's it going at headquarters?" rain asked Fatih who had just returned from the headquarters to retrieve the forgotten item.
"At headquarters it's safe. It turned out that not all passive members were evacuated, some of them stayed behind to help the injured active members." Fatih. "And I managed to get our heirloom weapon. Apparently it's been unlocked."
Fatih showed me the 'heirloom weapon' which was in the shape of a two-handed—ganda sword. The color is grayish black with a motif shaped like a white fire. The weapon has not been used for years. Previously, it was kept in a secret storage room. It was rumored that the heirloom was locked, but it was not.
"What's? Not locked? It's so sloppy." Rain responded while folding his hands. The ones in charge of securing these weapons were the higher-ups of the Elemental organization. They are often assigned to matters concerning 'honor'.
"Who's the gun for?" zaaryan chirped suddenly, while the two adults were upset because of the careless actions of their higher-ups who were not careful in storing this weapon.
"Ehm, I don't know. One chosen person, who will be able to use this special weapon. If really chosen, then this weapon can come to that person by itself." Fatih explained about the legend. Well, the legend of the Elemental Heirloom Sword was made from pure iron. Although it was made of iron, the sword never rusted despite being oxidized. Rumor is, the great power in it that makes the sword can not rust.
Of course it's just a legend, some believe it and some don't.
"Have you found a way to get in there?" raising his chin, Fatih asked the two people. Not far from where they stood, the dimensional barrier gate was waiting to be passed. The gate that can take you to the dark Darkness dimension is gripping.
"Yes, we will first slaughter the Darkness Swordman to obtain the darkness element. With that element, we can just get in there." Zaaryan replied enthusiastically.
"Why should you wear the dark element? Didn't Arga get in there without using the Darkness element?"
The statement as well as the question from Fatih does have a point. Two generations ago, Arga went in there with the original element, without any element of darkness.
Over time, the dimensional gate also underwent modifications. This time, so there is a sensor that requires someone who enters it must have darkness elements to be able to enter the Darkness dimension.
"That's not the dimensional gate that used to be. Now we—" said Rain was cut off after suddenly the double sword that Fatih was holding floated by itself. Floating and without going back down again, this is against the law of gravity.
"Eh?"
The sword was still floating after ten seconds had passed. Not long after, the tip of the blade pointed towards the dimensional gate. Then, the sword moved swiftly in the opposite direction. A speed that could not be seen by the eyes of an ordinary person. Besides being fast, the sword also started to glow.
...----------------...
WUSH OFF!
"That's right, the Heirloom Sword!" said Eve was surprised to see their heirloom sword which was now in Araya's grasp, without anyone giving.
"How come? He's the chosen one." Theo chimed in, he was as surprised as his secondary squadmate.
Araya was still silent, her face expressionless. For ordinary people who see it, might think that he is tired and sleepless—though that is a fact. It can be known from his eye bags that look slightly blackened.
After using the Rigel and Darkness elements simultaneously, his life which was now only one seemed almost separated from his body. Jolted.
"Park Hana? What are you doing? You hear me no?" Theo asked while shaking his shoulder. Hopefully Araya will soon wake up and get back on his feet.
However, the girl was still silent with her blank look. As Theo waved his palm right in front of Araya's face, he still did not react.
"Hey, what's the matter with him? He scares me a little." Theo surrendered after several failed attempts to resuscitate Araya. He stood up and faced Eve.
"I don't know. As if something was strange." shrugged his shoulders, Eve muttered. His brain was busy thinking that the cause of Araya could be like that.
"Do we have to contact the others?"
"No, we can't bother them. They must still be busy handling that damn Darkness Swordman."
If previously sat like a breathing statue, now Araya stood still with her expression and flat gaze. Staring straight ahead—toward the dimensional barrier gate.
"Park Hana, what will ... do you do?" Eve lowered her voice after her gaze turned to Araya. He was a little creepy at that time, as if Araya considered him a mortal enemy and would attack him at any time.
"Park Hana needs an adjustment to the new element" Ther— said his system Eve—after he had just received information from Zack about what happened to Araya. Zack deliberately did so so that they would not fear and not consider him an enemy.
"So so? The dangerous element. Will Park Hana be okay later?"
CLAP UP!
Araya just disappeared. Although without armor, he could still teleport with the newly-owned combined elements. Teleportation was extremely fast, as fast as a lightning strike.
"Huh? What's he gonna do?" Theo widened his eyes. So far, he has never seen anyone teleport as fast as lightning except in the movies. It was even a bit difficult to do so even though it was already the fourth stage.
"Eitherway. I felt that a great and terrible event was about to happen." Eve replied as she looked up at the sky at night. Black clouds had also gathered above their dimensions earlier. However, the rain did not fall. The black cloud was like an umbrella blocking the sunlight.
...----------------...
"Rilsey!" Lucas yells, giving Dae-Vin a cue so he gives a cover attack.
"Yes!"
WUSH OFF! A JDUAR!
This is the umpteenth time since the dimensional gate opened. Dae-Vin attacks with his water element to eliminate the Darkness Robot that attacked them from the air.
"Good job." Lucas patted his right shoulder.
"You too."
"Emm, I feel like you should go somewhere else." Lucas' tone changed. Apparently, his facial expression changed as well.
"Whatchu mean? Didn't I get assigned here?" Dae-Vin doesn't understand what Lucas' words mean. The young man initially refused.
"Now the plan has changed. I just received a report that Steve can't fight anymore. Just now, he was suddenly able to be in the Darkness dimension together with Park Hana."
"Park Hana? How could? What did Darkzero do to them?"
"He tortured them."
"What …?" Dae-Vin gaped in disbelief. Hearing the news that his loved ones were tortured, of course he was angry and did not accept. Both of his hands were tightly clenched. Lucas who saw it certainly understood the emotions he felt.
"Tell me, where are they?" Dae-Vin looks at Lucas with a piercing look. His aura was different from the one before.
"Last time I knew, they were at the base."
The information Lucas got was too late. It wasn't 'they' who were at the headquarters, but Steve who was currently lying helplessly on top of the gurney.
Without waiting for long, Dae-Vin turns around and then uses his teleportation to be able to quickly get to their headquarters.
To be continued …
