Hope Like an Angel

Next Level

I screeched quickly from the school towards the headquarters.The streets this afternoon were very crowded, some horn sounds and citizen screams entered my ears, but I didn't really care about that, I had to apologize to him!

Turning right, I entered a small alley, this is where I was attacked by the Fedora Hats Monster that day. Dirty, narrow alley with a lot of trash on its right and left, the walls are also mossy, sometimes I have to keep vomiting from seeing it...

Out of the alley, back to the crowded streets, a long way from school to headquarters, but what can be done...

***

A few minutes later, I finally arrived, the wall that was three times my height, dark in color, was in a quiet place, with a small box for me to swipe my card.

I took the card out of the bag, then swiped it straight away, TING! The sound that the card was received rang out, the wall was open, I entered the elevator as usual.

Waiting for the lift to come down, I could see the wheelbarrow on the floor.This was no longer the fault of Raphael's former bicycle, it seems like he was really cruel to me to the point of leaving behind the lines of this wheel motif...

The elevator door closes, come on don't be slow! Why did it feel so long this time?!

Finally, I arrived, after the door opened, I went straight out. The scenery was replaced by the busy uniformed troops in a long room, I just took out my clothes, put the bag in a special tube near Leonardo's office, and then the tube sucked the bag, straight to my house.

Two minutes later, I finished changing clothes and knocked on Leonardo's office door.

"Lake in." Answer from within.

Crews! "Leo! Where's..."

"Raphael? Well, you're worried about him, aren't you? Ahhaha..." He cut my sentence, this time he was writing in a small book.

"Please tell me where he is, I want to meet him..." I beg.

"He's on an important mission, I called him at school so he's gonna have to go home first." Leo answered briefly, still writing.

That's why he came home first. It seems I was too focused thinking what the answer to the task was so unconscious...

"Ooh... So I can't meet her?" I want to make sure.

"Yup."

...

It's okay.I can wait, Raphael services more than me, so this is still nothing...

I always forget Leo's office, very neat, spacious like the teacher's office at school, books on the shelf to the left of the door neatly arranged, lights on the big, big top, there were more cabinets and shelves for him to store valuables, gray walls and everything was clean....

"All right, thank you." I nodded, opened the door, I waited for him in the main room chair.

Uh, briefly...

"Hummer Leo..." Door's holding.

"What else?" Leo retaliated.

"Why was Raphael sent on assignment during school hours? It seems very important, huh?"

"..." - ".Leo thought.

"Come in, close the door." He closed the book, ruled.

As ordered, I closed the door. What's the matter? it seems so important...

"Listen to me carefully.Raphael's mission this time, not knowing why, came to the attention of the Great General.It was usually him who told me to inform the troops about their mission, but this time, it was, he came straight here."

Gee whiz... The Great General went to this base? That was? How important is his mission?

"really? What kind of mission was given, Leo?"

"Don't know, he just told me to call Raphael and a few other great people here, then told him to gather in the meeting room. No more, no less." Leo whispered, making his voice as small as possible.

Even Leo was not told specifically what his mission was, yes...

"Why are you whispering? That secret?" I'm rattled.

"No. I just want to feel cooler." He replied, I went out.

***

Two hours later, still at the headquarters, single-handedly waiting in one of the seats, at 16:48 p.m., Raphael's mission squad had not yet returned home...

Long time too, yeah.don't something happen to them...

Uh, that's impossible, seeing Raphael was so great back then.

"Hey! You're not dead, are you?" Said one of the troops near me, greeting his friend.

"It died yesterday, this ghost, will accompany your life forever..." They were happy, laughing...

Hahahaha, maybe when Raphael comes back, I'll use those words, "Not dead, huh?" After apologizing, of course. He must have chuckled...

Three hours later, still not coming home.it was 18:00 more, I began to worry...

I took my light sword from my pants, ZRUNG! Shot it, made my surroundings bright...

I've always wondered why this sword looks like this? When I was a kid, most of the swords in the movies were made of iron, my swords were different...

Oh yes, in the main room of the headquarters.there is a wide door, it is an elevator for the troops if they need a large number at once to go up, to the top, precisely to the back of the high black wall where we swiped it the first card that time. There's no way we're using that little elevator to get off that for a lot of people, it's gonna take a long time...

And also, each area has its own thick walls to shift their cards in order to enter the headquarters.

I decided to come to Leonardo's office, my worries are out of bounds...

Geck! Geck! Geck!

"What?! You serious?!" Leo's voice came from inside, and I opened the door.

"What's wrong?" I'm astonished.

"I'll be there soon!" Leonardo was using his cell phone, yelling at it, then putting it back down.

"Why, Leo? You rarely scream like this!" I'm starting to worry.

"Falisha! Come with me now!" He took out his light sword, patted my shoulder, ran outside the office, I followed him.

"Hey! Explain to me quickly! What's up?!" I thrived him. Some of the troops looked at us confused, walking quickly like rats.

"They're in danger! We have to fight him!" TING! Leo swiped his card into the box for the wide elevator, then opened, we both went in.

"Who is in danger?!" I hit him on the waist, why should he be arrested, anyway?

"Squad them! Including Raphael!" His face was worried, the elevator door was closed.

"What?! Raphael?!" I can't believe he's hurt... With all his abilities...?

"Call for help, Leo! The two of us will not be enough to defeat the person who injured Raphael!"

"I'm doing it!" Leo pressed the button on the right of the elevator, a small yellow light lit up on it.

"Number log." The sound of a robot approaching, under that lamp, the elevator section is spinning, now there are twelve buttons like a landline on a regular. Leo pressed the 112 button. I don't know what for...

"What's this?" Ask wonder.

"These are the numbers of the troops that, when pressed, there are special devices that will make a sound and warn that they are needed. You have it, Fal, your number is 435, that special device you keep." Leo explained, waiting for the elevator to open while riding.

"Device special? I don't have it..." I'm astonished.

"It must have, it's just forgotten where it was stored because it was never used, you're waiting for news of the mission directly at the headquarters. That device is for the people outside." Leo retaliated.

TING! The elevator door opened, it was dark, quiet, and Leo and I moved.

"Who is the enemy there? Why is your face so worried?" I asked while running on the crowded streets, some residents looked at us, then rushed home. They already knew that monsters were stronger at night.

"Fal, you're right, your theory is. Human-bodied monsters attack them all..." Answer Leo flat...
