Hope Like an Angel

We're gonna fix it

"I killed my brother ... Fal, I ... I accidentally killed Isabella ..." Vibrating, goosebumps, fears, Leo's face brings it all up. She looked crying and very sorry ...

"The full story, Leo. Don't be half." Mordo shouted furiously, threateningly.

Leo looked me in the eye, I was the same.

"Isa ... bella ...?"

"Yes ...your mother, Fal ... Isabella is your mother, also my sister ..."

I glared, confused. "What?! But ... The medium monster that killed Mom-"

"I swore to him, Fal .. as a soldier, I will always protect you, Isabella, your mother, and Liam, your father. I swear with all my heart. But we had a fight, and your relationship was destroyed instantly, so I was negligent in keeping my promise, so your mother could die. At that time my rank was still a commander candidate, so I had time to study with Commander Mordo-"

"Don't use the commander! Just mordo!" Mordo cut again, the sound of his screams echoing deafening my ears.

"No way .. It's impossible! You can't be negligent with the status of your troops, Leo! You can't possibly let Mom just die because of your quarrel, right?! That can't be .. no ..."

...

I was about to finish my sentence, but Leo's eyes revealed everything. He was honest, he was telling the truth. My mother died because she didn't want to protect her, it's only fitting that Logan could appear at the exact time that a medium monster attacked our home eight years ago. Logan and Leonardo have sworn an oath to protect us, but only Logan has come.

I can't believe .. I can't believe Leo can be that stupid!

"Basic fool ... YOU MORON! Leo ... I didn't expect any of this .. stupid ... AN IDIOT! YOU'RE A VERY LOWLY PERSON, LEO! THE RUBBISH! YOU MORON!!!"

Without hesitation, I set foot outside the restaurant, past the dozens of troops present here, past the body of Judah lying on the shattered wooden bed of the table. Getting to the exit, I rushed towards the house, not knowing what to do.

Unbelievable ... Leonardo ... I am very .. not very accepting of this ... LEO!!!

...***...

"standing. We have to attend to that." Mordosstafa, at the restaurant, told Leo to wipe his lips while looking down to stand up.

"What about Raphael? Yudah? And Fal ..-"

"They're trashy slaves, Leo. Forgetit. Come on, the Great General needs us."

Some of the troops who watched them were whispering anxiously. There was a worry about two young soldiers lying weakly on the ground, some were afraid of Mordosstafa's fighting skills. He was extremely powerful, easily defeating Raphael and Yuda, without being touched.

Also Leonardo, who was still sorry for making the mother of his nephew die, Mordosstafa managed to make everyone feel responsible, truly a resolute commander.

But, there are more important things. Mordosstafa and Leonardo-eh-more precisely, the entire Commanding Force had to gather at the crucial base. There was a very sudden meeting, the Meeting of Eight Commanders.

Leisurely the two of them walked out of the restaurant, leaving behind a messy place, and a few soldiers who were still somehow taking care of the two teenagers who had fainted and were seriously injured.

It's bad, it's very bad.

...***...

Geck! Geck! Geck! Geck!

Someone knocked on my door, a woman. "Falisha! Yeekimoo!!!"

I who lay limp on the sofa was too lazy to open it. I can't believe that the person I've respected so much over the years, turned out to be the reason why my mother died. Very stupid ...

But finally, I rushed to open the door. And that came very much beyond my expectations.

"FALISHAAA!!!" Jennifer, with her real face, with no blond hair and that other disguise, was present before my eyes. His face glowed with a smile, hugging me tightly.

"God! Jennifer's?! Ha! Ahaha! This you? How are you?!"

"My news is good, Fal! Very good!"

I was suddenly astonished. "Hey ... How did you get to the West? Commander Yakza said-"

"She asked me to say that on purpose, so that this would be a surprise!" He smiled again, exclaiming cheerfully in front of my house.

"Oh so .. uh! Comein! Holy hooch! I forgot how to be a good guest ..."

"okay!" We're going back in. Jennifer looked through my house very carefully.

"Well, that's neat. I didn't see your house in the past, so it wasn't very clear to me, hahaha ..." He chuckles.

"Well, that's how. So, why are you here? Shouldn't soldiers move between regions unless there's an emergency mission?" I asked as I poured the warm tea into two small glasses.

Jennifer sat down, drinking it slowly. "The commander of the Yakza was busy, and all the soldiers were temporarily released."

"Huh? Seriously?"

I almost choked on tea. "Really?!"

"Gosh, for real, Fal. Why so surprised?"

I took a heavy breath, putting the glass back on the table. The first time in eight years there was a meeting involving all the commanders to attend, it must have been very important ...

"Why is your face so pale, Fal? Am I bothering you?" Jennifer asked, I quickly shook my head.

"Leo ... is no longer my uncle, Jenn ..."

"CHUCK! LEO'S DEAD?!"

"Eh! That's not it!" He could have been wrong ...

"Ooh, thank goodness .. so what do you mean?"

"She .. was the reason my mother died all this time."

"HUH?!"

"No, he didn't kill her. The story is long, the point is he failed to protect us. Which should be, my family's fine if she doesn't make that ridiculous mistake." I explained more carefully, looking at Jennifer wholeheartedly.

"Oooh .. gosh, that's so bad ..." He shut his mouth.

I nodded resignedly, leaving a silence and a slightly damaged television sound. Jennifer saw me concerned, sipping her warm tea for the umpteenth time.

"Commander Yakza .. once told me this Fal." He opened his mouth.

"What?"

"Whatever it is, an accident, a past, a breakup, or the most painful reality that is present in your head now, it does not state who you really are. What makes it absolute, is the rest of the story. What you want to do and who you want to secure, that's what you really are." He spoke softly, his eyes shining brightly like the light above the blue sky.

I looked down, was what Jennifer said right? Is ... The fact that Leo was so careless has no effect as long as I don't think about it?

It may be true ...

...

"Thank you, Jenn, really. I owe you a lot." I smiled, pouring more tea from the teapot into the glass. Jennifer smiled cheerfully. "Together."

"Oh yeah, I hear all those senses in your body are getting stronger? That real?"

I'm nodding. "really. I became stronger physically, if mentally, still the same."

"Wah .. great. Can you show me your prowess?"

I'm nodding. Then make a shield that surrounds up to four houses. The sound and light are very different, more peaceful ...

"Woah .. wow! This is so great!" Jennifer stood up, darting open the door outside the house. I followed him, sure enough, there was a shield five hundred meters high, coiling around many places.

And all of that can come with a slight movement of the right hand. The most up-to-date weapon is truly as the name implies ...

"Jenn, I'm curious. The commander of all the regions is in a meeting, I have the most advanced weapon, then you suddenly come here. The meeting ..."

Jennifer won't face me, I can see her. He pretended that I wasn't thinking negative things.

"The meeting must have been about .. whether I deserved to be executed, or defended. Didn't they?"

Jennifer in front of me breathed heavily. But eventually, he turned his body around. His face was no longer carefree, now anxious, afraid, sad, and some other bad things.

Whoa! Great news again! It's Leo who made my feelings worse, now all the Commanders are desperate to kill me just because I've become so much stronger than them! Really the best day.

...

Shit ...

"Silent. I and Commander Yakza have something planned." Despite her negative expression, Jennifer steeled her resolve. He took some small stuff out of his pocket.

"The Yakza commander trusted the two of us to manipulate everyone in the meeting. It's a super-small listening device as well as a sophisticated microphone. Wear this." I took it, stuck it in the left ear. Jennifer is similar to hers.

"The commander of Yakza already wears it, daritadi ..."

"Yup. As powerful as you are, take it easy, I and Commander Yakza will always be by your side." He smiled broadly. Makes it look more like light.

I laughed, at the end. "That means, this means ..."

"We will play the mind of everyone, including Great General Karlo!"
