Hope Like an Angel
Arkane (Part 3)
DUR'S! Lightning struck, all white at a glance, then again dark and terrifying.
"What is this. oh. I see, you are a family. That tall must be his father, the woman with the broken arm was the second child, the blonde was the last child, the, and the boy was the first kid, right?" Arkane laughed, his greatsword propped against his back.
Family...?
"Jackpots! Damn right!" Leo answered, exclaiming. The three of us saw it.
"They are all my precious children. If you, the ugly monster, wanted to kill him, would have failed. Look, they're all seriously injured, but they didn't run away or even give up, why? Since I never told them once in my life to back down, they always went forward to face their own problems!" He continued, smiling widely, saying it with incredible confidence.
"Honestly, I want to go home, so let's get this over with as soon as we can." Raphael said beside me, still wiping his face that was covered in mud.
"Maha." Jennifer's laughter chimed in, preparing with her sword.
Arkane growled, then advanced slowly towards us, and vice versa, still waiting for the "Bakso box" to sound.
Our job now is to protect Leo, he is the key to the victory of this fight.
JRAASH! Arkane threw mud, we all dodged, CRAS! Leo cut off Arkane's left leg, ZUNG! I'm dodging the attack, CRAS! Cutting off her right leg, Raf and Jennifer cut off both hands.
SLASHY! His head was cut off Leo, GRASH! Reappeared. DUM! Leo was hit by a tree. BUKS! Jennifer was kicked away. CRAS! I cut off his right hand, SLASH! Raf beheaded.
THE GRASH! Appearing again, directly forward suffocating me, GREP! Raphael who was about to help was strangled as well, he held us both. BOOM! Then slamming us hard, my head was dizzy.
SLASHY! SLASHY! Leo and Jennifer cut off Arkane's hands, then took us backwards.
"Hey! You guys okay?!" Ask Jennifer.
"Yes..." I replied with all my might, no sound from Raphael.
"Raf!" Leo panicked.
There's no sound... Raphael fainted, the wound on his back opened wider, I looked at him in horror.
BOOM!
"What's that?!" Excitingly while facing forward, Arkane's upper body exploded, this time his regeneration was slower.
"Raphela! He had time grenades attached to her!" Jennifer, genius! In this case, more time is given to us.
The time grenade is one of our weapons that can slow down time at the point around the explosion.
"Fal, protect Raphael's body, you can help us fight a little bit, but the main focus is on protecting Raphael." Leo stood up straight, I nodded, agreeing.
CRASHES! SLASHY! Leo and Jennifer go ahead and cut off Arkane's legs, his upper body not growing yet.
I carried Raphael with all my might with my right arm, carried him away, succeeded! I took him 25 steps from Arkane, hopefully safe...
"I'm fine, BLERGH!" Raphael beside me tried to resist, vomiting blood.
"Don't move, please..." I helped her down, and made her lean into my arm, don't... Raphael please don't fight anymore...
THE GRASH! The grenade of time is up, Arkane's upper body is growing again.
"I'm sick of it!" He jumped towards Leo, about to split his body. Leo dodged to the left, BUM! Hit the ground, CRAS! GREPS! Leo managed to cut off both of his legs, but his head was clasped hard by Arkane.
SLASHY! SLASHY! Jennifer cut off both arms, Leo's out, BUMM! Arkane hit Jennifer hard on the head down, her head hit the ground, she fainted.
I rushed to Jennifer, GREP! Bringing his body away to where it was.
"BAKSO BOX!" Leo exclaimed, his voice must have reached the base, very loud.
"!" I was surprised, bringing Jennifer's body faster, BUK! God, I tripped!
"Fale..." Jennifer's voice is weakening.
"Jenn! Hold it!" I called out to him, taking him again with my right arm.
"No, Fal. look..." His head was raised to Leo and Arkane, telling me to look at them...
"It looks like it's gonna be interesting..." Raphael wiped his bloody lips, standing beside my left who was holding Jennifer.
"Goodbye, monster..." Leo was angry.
BWURFS! A blue-colored flame appeared, burning Arkane's entire body...
"AAAAH! AAGGHH!" He exclaimed in pain, Leo smiled towards him.
Where did the fire come from?.Whoah? In the midst of such heavy rain, a fire suddenly appeared smoldering.
A BWUSH! Arkane's entire body became dust, lost with his blue fire, did not appear again.
"We won..." He nodded, gave his thumbs up to the three of us, then walked over...
The rain was still on our bodies, our uniforms were completely drenched, like wearing them for swimming. We won...
"Fal..thank you, yes.I'm better now, you can put me down..." Jennifer followed, I hesitated to lower her body, she stood to my right.
"Fal..thank you, yes, this fight is over now, you can take me home..." Raphael said, Jennifer chuckled...
"Good work, I'm proud of you." Leo grinned, straddling in front of us.
"No..." I said, making a silence, just a puddle of water making a sound now, everyone is looking at me...
"Huh?" Raphael.
"I failed, not for five minutes, my arm was broken. It wasn't until seven minutes, my stab wound opened again. I'm just pacing around and around, it's unclear, even the reason I came here is because of my own carelessness to scold Raphael." I lowered my head, raised my left arm slightly, letting the rain fall.
"Gee..." Leo chuckles.
"What's? Why are you smiling?" Leonardo's face confused me.
"Falisha. Without you, Arkane would know that I'm alive, and she would kill me. Without you, I would have died without fighting more, just now it was so exciting. And lastly, if you don't come here, I can't hear you apologizing ten times." Raphael laughed as he coughed a little, relaxed, then sat in a puddle of rain.
"Really, I'm so grateful you guys came, Fal... Leo..." He smiled widely, exhaling.
"And, hey, look, Jennifer's part of the squad." Leonardo stuck his hand out toward Jennifer.
"Sorry. I'll explain everything later, but now, you guys have to..."
"Jenn, say the same words to me when you first wanted to be a soldier." Leo cut Jennifer's sentence.
"What...? But, right..."
"Just do it, as payment that he saved you." Once again Jennifer's sentence was cut, she looked embarrassed.
"S.. actually, the reason I became a soldier is. because I am a fan... Fal. until now..." Jennifer was shaking violently, goosebumps were severe, covering her face.
"HUH?! AHHAHAHAHA." Raphael let out a great laugh, although hindered by the cough and the pain, his voice filled the entire place.
Jennifer's? The Chairman of OSIS who is known for one school and his achievements beyond anything? Which all the teachers were even afraid of his abilities that were so beyond reason? My fan?
"Wait a few days ago you just met me, right?" I'm worried.
"Yes, because I don't want to be found out that I followed you. To be safe, I'll introduce myself as if we've just met." Jennifer answered nervously.
"Here you go, Raphael, don't laugh, your wounds will open again..." Leo helped Raphael up, he propped him up.
"Okay... ouch, it's your fans' fault, Jenn..." Raphael tried to endure the pain, still a little happy.
"No. Three years ago, I saw Falisha save me that time without fear and killed a huge monster alone, from that point on, I always followed her, I always followed her, wherever he went when he went home from school. Then I found an elevator hidden in the dark high wall, I realized I couldn't get in, and gave up.
"Tell me everything to Leo who I happened to meet on the road in his uniform, it turns out that he is the Chief of the Western Regions Forces, in short the story I showed my talent, was accepted, and trained with all my might. I've never been on a mission with you guys because I had to take care of things related to OSIS. So, night is my free time for any mission. Hopefully we can establish a good cooperation, yes..." Jennifer made things clear, trying not to shake.
Gosh.... Even the Primadona School has followed me? Funny as well when imagined...
My broken arm suddenly reacted, exposed to rainwater...
"Oh yes... regarding the fire... You want to explain something, Leo?" Raphael asked the person supporting his body...
"That blue fire, yeah..." Leo nodded slowly, about to say something...
