[Darkness Invasion Arc - #2]
...----------------...
"Go, Araya." Again, Aria's sister forced her to leave.
Araya's body trembled. He rubbed his face rough. "But, Brother Aria … "
"I'll be fine!"
"Well-narkah?"
Brother Aria nodded definitely, while time continued to go on. Within five minutes, the bomb would explode and potentially destroy their headquarters.
"Please promise me, brother. Aria's sister should be fine when I get back. All right, I'll go." Araya stood up, walked a few steps back, then she ran after arriving at the doorway.
Araya arrived in the main room. There's no one. Araya circulated the gaze to look for someone.
Suddenly, the floor he was on was wide open and managed to make it to another room spontaneously.
A room unknown to its existence by ordinary members. Quite broad and bright. There, all the members gathered.
"Where have you been, huh?" Steve asked Araya who was still somewhat surprised by the incident a few seconds before.
"I .. I met Aria for a moment" said Araya honestly. Araya rubbed his neck. For some reason, all the members there were looking at him with looks hoping—except someone whose body was bound. Araya is confused because of it.
Araya was agitated after Lucas pulled his right hand away. He was speechless, let alone refusing. He was only released after he hoped directly with the person who bound it.
"Park Hana, you have to recover it" said Kenneth, one of the secondary squad members.
"Huh? Me?" Araya widened her eyes while pointing at herself. Even what really happened, he didn't know. How can he solve this problem?
"Yes, you're our hope." Chris says. Araya remained silent.
"What ... should I do?" araya asked in the end, though she was not sure if she could. Araya lowered her head, as she was a little uncomfortable with the gazes of the people there.
"Hey, you like Ryusei, don't you?" chirped Kak Hyun-Jae suddenly who was now standing near the corner of the room.
Araya lifted her gaze, "Huh? I'm .. I'm not-"
"We already know that, Park Hana. I'm sure you two have feelings that we don't. So, please. Just this time. This may violate organizational rules. But, this is for the good of everyone." Henry said without giving Araya a chance to return his words.
"How?" in a soft voice Araya asked again. Feelings of doubt increased after Henry said 'breaking the rules'.
"Give him a very sincere feeling, so that he can return to being human. You can do it any way."
After hearing the narration from one of the seniors of the other continent's Elemental organization, Araya finally solidified her intentions. He looked at Ryusei aka Kim Dae-Vin who was unconscious, with a glance that was difficult to interpret.
The girl bit her lower lip. Try to catch your breath so you are not too nervous. Then he began to execute what he had in mind. Doing whatever it takes to make him human again.
...----------------...
"Park Hannah … "
Araya immediately stepped back and stood upright right after Dae-Vin's hoarse voice sounded. Well, the way it works. But, there was still a Darkness effect left within that man.
"Sorry .. I'm really sorry." bowing his head while closing his eyes, Araya really felt guilty about it.
Everyone was confused by the sudden narration of Araya. But the way it worked, why did he even apologize?
"It's okay. Thank you." a soft clap landed on his left shoulder. Dae-Vin smiles at Araya. While the girl was still unable to return her smile because her dominant feeling was guilt.
"Don't thank me. You should be mad at me, "Araya can't put words together. He was afraid to tell the truth.
After all Dae-Vin must have known what really happened, he thought.
Dae-Vin breathes softly, "Yes, I'm mad at you. Now we're an empty one. I'll get you back, Park Hana."
Araya took a few steps back to keep her distance. He had just remembered that the other friends were fighting in another area. Araya intends to go there and donate his energy to help them.
The explosion happened three minutes ago. If he gets out of that place, he will be caught between the flames.
"Hey, where are you going?" calls from other colleagues he ignored. Araya escapes using teleportation to make it faster.
"Huh, he left too soon. In fact, I don't think he prepared any plans. A little stubborn like his father used to be. Well, I think it's time for us to jump directly into the field" said Captain Akira while confirming the position of the establishment.
"Captain, do you have a plan?" Henry asked. The atmosphere returned serious and silent. They put up the best possible hearing to listen to the plans that have been made.
"Yes, and the plan is … "
...----------------...
"Sunny!"
"Eh, Ara-I mean Park Hana. You're home yet?" Hanny is somewhat surprised by Araya's sudden arrival. At one point, Araya had just left on a mission about thirty hours ago.
"Yes. I came home not long ago. Why hands?" Araya was wide-eyed and worried to see Hanny, whose left hand was wrapped in bandages. Not only that, in some other parts there are also blisters. At the time, Hanny was in human mode.
"It's okay, I was just overusing the elements. I was given ten minutes to recuperate." Hanny smiled. "Oh yeah, I heard things at headquarters are messing up, huh?" hanny asked, so that Araya forgot about her condition which was full of wounds.
"Yes, when we arrived earlier, the hangar room was full of paper with ultimatums. They told us to leave without weapons. But, even if we really did, I'm not sure that the explosion could have been prevented."
"explosions?"
Araya nodded, "Yes, the explosion has even set the entire base on fire right now."
"Then, why are you here now?"
"Because my mission there with him is done."
"with him? Who?"
Araya muttered, in her heart she stringed up sentences to explain. "Next time I'll explain."
"Hmm, okay. It's up to you."
"Oh well, apparently there was someone else." as soon as possible, a creature of all black passion appeared between the two of them. Real close.
BUACH!
Not having time to reflex, the Darkness Swordman attacked them to make the two dragged backwards five meters.
"Hmm, your reflexes are so bad, son." folding his hands in front of his chest, the Darkness Swordman said. He was a level three Darkness swordsman.
The Darkness Swordman stared and pointed at Araya. "Now, my target is you, his daughter Arga … "
