Elemental Gen - Z

Chapter 38's

[Mars Mission Arc - #1]

...----------------...

A week has passed. This is the last day Araya and Kim Dae-Vin undergo 'punishment'.

Right now, it's about five in the afternoon. They were resting for a while before going to clean up. They sat next to each other, although there was still some distance. Silence, no one started the topic of conversation. Till..

"Araya," call Dae-Vin while slightly turning his face towards Araya.

"Yes?"

"Why do you think the four of us are being asked to enter the ninth generation of this organization?" dae-vin asked as he stared at the ceiling of the fitness room, his hands supporting his weight.

"don't know. That day, my mother told me I had to get into this organization. From morning until late afternoon I thought about my decision. Until I was forced to quit school because of this." Araya replied to tell a brief story of her experience before officially becoming a member of the Elemental Organization of Asia.

"Our fate is not much different, Araya.." muttered Dae-Vin, but Araya could still hear it clearly. Araya slightly frowned when she heard 'not much different'.

"Why is that?"

"Well, you know, my father was a deputy commander of this organization. His nature is also somewhat stubborn. He always encourages me to do my best, and sometimes without thinking about my feelings." Dae-Vin said as he looked straight with a flat gaze, but to Araya, that look was sad.

According to him, Dae-Vin's life is so restrained. Rules should not be eliminated, but must still pay attention to the circumstances set, right? However, Dae-Vin is not a rebellious person, he tends to keep his own problems. He's a person with an introvert personality.

"I thought your life was harder than mine. You do have everything, but you are too constrained." said Araya carefully, do not let his words hurt the feelings of his interlocutor.

"Who said I have everything? There's still something I can't have. Yes, your opinion is correct, my life is too regulated. But I think this base is better. No loneliness, no saturation, no need to go to school.." still haven't changed his sitting position, Dae-Vin said.

Araya was a bit confused, someone as smart as Dae-Vin likes it if not going to school? In short, prefer holidays.

"Why do you like it when you don't go to school? I want to go to school."

"You haven't felt it, Araya. Life in High School is not always fun. In addition to the increasingly difficult subject matter, the association also affects. Honestly, I started to finish school. But, I forced myself not to ditch" Dae-Vin said as he stood, looking down to look at the still-sitting Araya. He smiled thinly.

"You managed to remind me of one thing, Araya.."

"All right, I'm first." said Dae-Vin as he began to walk out the door.

"I-iya." she answered briefly as she looked at Dae-Vin's sturdy back that was getting further away, and then disappeared.

...----------------...

Finished cleaning herself up, Araya sat down on her study desk chair. It looked at the computer screen and displayed a message from the captain. Araya was silent for a moment to think about the meaning of the message.

"*Good afternoon members. We inform you that tomorrow you will get a mission to find the third stage element stone.

His mission may be somewhat beyond reason. Because, you will do a mission outside planet Earth, precisely on the planet Mars.

Based on the surveillance camera footage on the plane that Team B used during the exam a week ago, it can be concluded that Darkness Swordman will not wait for the right time to invade this dimension.

After a long negotiation, we all decided to start your second mission. Tomorrow morning, you must prepare to go to Mars.

We know that this Mars mission will not be easy, but we and you must keep trying. We will prepare everything before your departure tomorrow at eight in the morning. You have to prepare your mental and physical. Make sure you are in a really healthy condition. Also make sure your transformation tool is still good and does not error.

So much and thank you. Good night's rest*."

Araya leaned her body on the soft seat back. Nothing yet, he was nervous. It was like the day before the national exam. He thought about what might happen to them. That's it really.

"What a sudden mission? Is it because of the fear of Darkness Swordman's attack?" inner Araya. The estimate is correct.

If someday there will be an attack from Darkness Swordman level one, and if they have not reached the strongest stage, it could be another story.

"Oh yeah, there's no Darkness Swordman, right?" Araya held her sitting position. Move the chair closer to the table, and then start typing something through the computer keyboard.

"Captain, I'd like to ask. On Mars, is there a Darkness Swordman?" Araya asked by making a reply to the message.

After being sent, he fell silent again. Waiting for an answer, he thought. I don't know what is more important to make Araya keep thinking about it.

Not long after, there was a pop up on the homepage of the computer, which meant there was already a reply from captain Akira. Immediately, Araya checked it.

"Most likely, Darkness Swordman will not appear on Mars. If he's going to show up, the chances aren't two percent either."

After he finished reading the reply, Araya still had a feeling of worry. Not up to two percent as well, but the possibility of emergence also remains.

...----------------...

This morning, at eight. The four members of the ninth generation Elemental had already gathered in the main room. Stand up as before they take the test.

"So, it's obvious, aren't you given seven days to get that element stone?" professor F asked after they finished programming the hologram screen to display the rock-element hologram they had to search for on Mars.

"Obviously, professor!"

"good. During those seven days, you don't have to worry about food supplies. On the plane was more than enough. Almost everything is on the plane, it's just.. You know, there's no gravity in space? Well that's the limitation." professor F responded, while lowering his right hand which holds a sophisticated tablet that is not produced on the market.

"Ooh, that clearly means. We're going there on a plane." Araya. Not even he could smoothly land the plane, they already had to be able to bring their plane into space.

"It's the first time you're going to space, so if you have anything to ask, call the base. We are always ready if anything happens." said brother Aria chimed in the words of the professor. Their four juniors nodded with certainty.

"Alright, you guys please head to the hangar."

After obtaining the approval from the captain, the ninth generation Elemental members walked towards the hangar not far from there. But before that, don't forget they saluted first.

The four of them walked next to each other. On the way there, their feelings were mixed. Between nervousness, fear, and also impatience as they were about to go into space. But, their fear had been overcome by their strong determination like steel.

Upon their arrival there, in the hangar room, the largest room in the base. There are a lot of people. They are passive members who are in charge of preparing everything.

The aircraft engine is turned on. The aircraft's fuel is fully loaded. Backup batteries are also in place and can be installed at any time. The aircraft is ready to use.

Door opens. Displaying a room in the plane that is ready for a long trip.
