Elemental Gen - Z

Chapter 40's

[Mars Mission Arc - #3]

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

Currently, the four members had already walked for four kilometers, and had not rested a single minute. Because, they do not feel tired because their armor has a part that serves to store energy, thus minimizing the fatigue of the wearer.

Still faithfully running for some time to come, Araya has begun to saturate. Because from that moment it was quiet. No one starts the conversation. Until, Araya stopped his steps for a moment and looked towards the expanse of the surface of the planet Mars.

"What's up, Araya?" stopping his steps, Zaaryan turned around and asked.

"Ehm, it's okay." Araya replied with a smile, even though her face was invisible. After that, he started walking again.

Not even Araya had walked ten steps since he stopped, all of a sudden..

SLABS!

A black shadow flashed past in front of Araya and Zaaryan, instantly the scene in front of them changed completely.

Here, there was a cracked expanse of land, and on the sidelines was a reddish orange liquid that seemed to glow, the liquid was lava!

In addition, around them there are also many volcanoes that all emit lava from the crater, hot clouds billowing over the crater. The temperature here is really high. The sky was also dark like a starless night sky, visible several times flashes of lightning light.

"Z-Zaaryan, where are we? How are we supposed to be here?" asked Araya while looking at her unusual surroundings. Last time he saw her, it wasn't like this, was it?

"I don't know either, Araya. We're still on Mars, right? We're not being abducted by aliens?" zaaryan said. His mind had already begun to imagine and predict the actual events that happened. Imagine the face of an alien who is green and his head is oval, as well as the eyes are plain black.

"Or are we already in hell?" araya asked as she turned to look at Zaaryan. His gaze was full of worry. What if the assumption is right?

"It doesn't seem like it, Araya. We're not even dead yet. And our bodies are still free, not chained, right?" Zaaryan gave a statement in the form of a question, while showing both of his wrists were still free and covered in red armor.

"Hmm you're right. I've been thinking too far." Araya muttered, herself again observing the surroundings. Trying to find out where their current location with the scanner feature contained in his armor.

'Location not found'

His hologram screen showed the three words. Araya was getting confused, how could his location not be found?

While Araya tries to find out their location, Zaaryan is trying to contact the headquarters as well as Dae-Vin and Hanny.

"Araya, like.. We're isolated here. Can you find the name of the location?" asked Zaaryan, he heard a sigh that indicated that he was about to give up. Try to stay calm while making sure the sensing stays active.

"can't. You're right, it looks like we're isolated. So, what are we supposed to do? Contacting others can't ya?"

"can't. I think we're in another dimension right now."

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

"Dae-Vin, stop!" hanny says holding Dae-Vin's right shoulder to stop Dae-Vin walking.

"What?" turning his head slightly back, Dae-Vin asked in a lazy tone.

"Araya and Zaaryan are missing!"

"Huh? How come?" turning her back, Dae-Vin looks back at no one but Hanny. He immediately activated the tracking feature that can find out the location of other members.

"Where are they? They didn't decide to split up, did they? They're not mad that I'm silencing them, are they?" dae-vin asks while standing face to face with Hanny, she puts on a worried look and hopes for Hanny's answer to be spoken soon.

However, another of the allegations. Hanny simply responded by shrugging both of her shoulders a sign she didn't understand. Kim Dae-Vin turns around, running to find his two friends while trying to contact them, not caring about Hanny's screams and running after him.

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

"How do we get out of here?" while showing an anxious and confused expression, Araya spoke while walking around the place.

Araya stopped his steps when he was already at the 'end' of the land. He shuddered at the burning sea of hot lava. It seems that the expanse of lava is getting higher and has the potential to be able to drown the land where it stands.

Not long after, the land where he stood shook. Not an earthquake, but an imbalance of burden on the island. Unable to be seen with their eyes, it turns out there is a large stone that is smaller than the land that becomes a buffer.

"Aray! In here!" zaaryan shouted while hinting for Araya to immediately move towards him. Zaaryan was already in the middle of the island, while Araya was still on the edge.

Realizing what happened, Araya immediately ran to the middle so that the island was balanced again.

"Huh. huh.. I thought it was a flat land." said Araya after reaching Zaaryan's place. He tried to normalize his breathing while bowing his body.

Maybe because the temperature was too high in the area could make their armor batteries become wasteful. So that it has an impact on its use, becoming inefficient and not as comfortable as before.

"Yes, I think so too. After I tried a few times, this armor feature is not very good, especially those that rely on signals" said Zaaryan.

Previously, he had tried several times to use the features contained in the armor he was wearing. But, only the cooling feature still works well.

"Then, what is our fate now? Are we gonna end up here?" asked Araya in a desperate tone. He sat himself on the ground feeling warm, but not felt by him because he activated the coolant from inside the armor.

"No. We have to try to get out of this dimension. We can't just give up. There must be a way out."

Turning around, Zaaryan turned on zoom mode to be able to see objects around them more clearly. But, most likely no strange objects were found that had a great chance to be able to bring them back. He walked cautiously in the opposite direction to Araya.

At that moment, Araya felt something strange, right under her. He brought his face to the ground. He heard strange noises from deep in the ground and felt a small vibration.

Araya activates the invisibility mode to be able to see what is inside the land.

"Huh?! ZAYYAN! Quick lariiii!" Araya immediately stood up, and then ran towards Zaaryan while shouting loudly, because their communication features could not function properly.

Regardless of the increasingly uncomfortable condition of the armor, Araya is still trying to save himself. Although it seems like there is little chance of surviving.

Hearing Araya's cry, Zaaryan turned around, yet he had time to ask what had happened, his body had been hit by Araya. Because he turned around suddenly and Araya who could not stop his fast-moving footsteps, in the end their bodies collided.

BUUMM!

Outside the hot lava bursts and also the steam from the middle of the land, causing a hole about ten meters in diameter.

To be continued..
