Hope Like an Angel
Second Nest
"Why, Fal?" Raphael.
"Ava." I called him, he's looking at me now. That gaze full of evil and ugliness entered my soul.
"Logan. Have you heard that name?" Just go ahead, I ask you my question. For days I tried to solve this mystery, who Logan was, where he came from, who his family was, and so on.
Suddenly, Ava's eyes bulged.
"Logan.. loooga... LOOOGAAAAN! I'LL KILL YOU LOTAAN!!! YOU FOOL!!! IF YOU'RE NOT AROUND, OUR PLAN WILL GO SMOOTHLY!!! HOWAAANNNN!!!!" BUKS! Ava suddenly shouted furiously, indistinctly, her voice deafening. Raphael hit his head hard, knocking him unconscious.
...
Silence, we are still shocked. He suddenly got angry with her. Who is this Logan? Why is Ava so mad at him?
"I'm sorry, but he won't answer." Raphael put on a stale face, looking at me.
"Yes, yeah, it's okay..." I tried to catch my breath, it was so scary that the screams were...
"CLARK!" The hand that covered Jennifer's mouth finally came off, the blood that gathered inside came out a lot. God, he's holding this much blood?
"JENN!" I cried out worriedly, still holding her body.
Everyone ran closer. Leo checked, opened his mouth.
"I'm.. It's okay...!" He tried to defend himself.
"The sky of your mouth is torn, wide open, your front teeth are all cracked, your chin feels vulnerable. This is obviously very bad, Jenn..." Leo said worriedly, still checking his mouth.
"I told you, I'm fine..." Puk! He rubbed his mouth, keeping Leo's hand away.
Jennifer...
"Jenn"
"I'M FINE!" Jennifer screamed, cutting out Raphael's sentence. We all fell silent. Rarely, rarely is Jennifer like this, she is always carefree and laughs at school...
"I. I have my own goals..." He stood up straight, rubbing his uniform.
"My life is garbage, I don't want to die as trash." Jennifer made it clear, her face was about to cry.
Trashy? Wait a minute, trash? The Primadona School is calling itself trash?
"Sorry. I'm sorry... Before you knew me, blonde hair, pretty face, OSIS chairman, famous, before all that, I was really nothing... I'm just..." He continued his words, but for a long time his body was very weak. His legs are shaking violently, Buk. I caught her body, she fainted.
I looked at him pityingly, checking his pulse. Thank goodness he is alive...
"I've been trying to dig into his past, of course I should know. I must understand all my subordinates feelings. But Jennifer, she's always been successful and it's smart not to open it." Leo got up from his seat, looking at me who was holding Jennifer.
"It's all my fault... You can punish me all you want"
"No one will be punished. Jennifer decided to protect you, she's done her duty as a soldier. You should understand, Yuda." Leo cut, Yuda gave a silent look, looking at Jennifer.
"Commander Leonardo!" A soldier called from outside, we all changed our eyes to him.
"We. we succeeded! All the medium monsters here are finished!" He exclaimed merrily, the other soldiers who looked happy as well. Smiling without limits, put down his sword of light.
"Good job." Leo praised.
"What about Jennifer?"
"The Maid team will take him also to the headquarters, we've hired a doctor with extra special protection for them. He'll be fine." He answered my question briefly, preparing for the next battle. At the second base.
Two omni and we don't find an answer. Hopefully after this, there's an omni who wants to talk...
...***...
We gathered in front of the Kindergarten building, already destroyed by Ava's attack. Still do not know the answer why the place can be a nest of monsters. And it turns out, the headquarters didn't notice it because the Kindergarten was said to be closed, and it looked like an ordinary building a few days ago.
Well then, this sticky black liquid that meets 70% of Kindergarten just appeared yesterday. Lest the omni and other monsters know of our arrival, so they gather and then the black liquid just appeared.
The Auxiliary Team has arrived, with one of their vehicles carrying Jennifer. And one more they brought the two fainted omni.
"Alright, ten minutes of rest." Leo exhaled, checked all his troops, left us.
ZRUUUUNNG... In a short time, both cars left. Leave all the troops alive and well. Everything went perfectly. The first monster's nest is over.
"Falisha..." Raphael.
"Yes?" I faced him, he was standing next to me.
"You think... Is there anything weird about Jennifer? I mean, he was daydreaming and didn't want to explain it to us." He asked, his eyes down.
I'm thinking simultaneously.
"I think everyone has their own past. Me included. I like to daydream, right? And you called me 'King Galau' continuously and I never explained anything. It's the same with Jennifer. The difference is, I got you, Raf. Always ready to help me, so we have to prove that we can be trusted. For Jennifer." I answered confidently, clenching my hand.
A moment, Raphael looked at me.
"Hahaha, okay." He waves.
"B... How did you meet him?" Yudah asked, join in.
"Meet?"
"Where did Jennifer get to know you?" He clarified the question.
"Gdh..." Raphael held back a laugh.
"Raf, no." I'm about to hit.
"Juda... Jennifer knows Fal because of the" WUP. I shut his mouth.
"Jennifer knows me because she's the head of OSIS, so there's a day I meet her." I'm not gonna let Raphael say Jennifer's my fan. That's good, but I lost to him, so I'll be ashamed of myself.
"Ooh..." Yuda. I let go of my hand from Raphael's mouth, he took a breath.
"If it was me, Jennifer needed some idea donations, so I was gonna help her. That's all." Raphael's turn answered, he looked at me.
"Good! Break done!" Leo's voice was heard by everyone. We all looked at him.
"Alright, let's run towards the second nest. It's only three hundred meters from here." Leo rules.
"Wait, why don't we just use teleportation?" I asked in wonder.
"The technology is new. Just being able to move the people gathered in the stone circle of the Elia District, was a bit complicated to explain, but that was the point." He answers.
After some explanations and questions. We continue on our way, towards the second nest. A small one-story place that we have to divide the total troops into two, attackers and guards. Fortunately during the meeting earlier, I was assigned to attack, so it doesn't seem like this is too bad.
Twelve minutes, we're here. A small place on a deserted street. Orange rectangular building patterned in white with wooden doors. The guard section took a position surrounding him, the attacking section preparing to enter.
Ugh... This was even more terrifying, almost all of them were covered in a sticky black liquid, and this place was already almost broken. Half the roof is destroyed.
Leo took a breath, about to open the door.
BUKS! The door was kicked hard, open. He entered followed by the whole army who cried out.
"Wait!" Leo raised his hand, everything that was already inside suddenly stopped.
Thank goodness I got in. What's the matter?
Wait, that's it...
"Fale..." Raphael called out, he knows what I'm thinking.
The Fedora Hats Monster stood in the middle of the building, more precisely lying down. His body was severely injured, his clothes were torn, blood came out of his mouth. His whole body was blue. He took a deep breath, raising his hand upwards.
Is he going to die? So... I'm not the one who cut off his head? He's just gonna die? No. gabe. I won't let him die, I'll have to cut off his head! I'm the one who has to kill him!
SWOOSH! I bolted forward, past the ranks of the army and Leo. To cut the monster's neck.
"FUCK!" Leo exclaimed. I won't listen to him, keep running, ZRUNG! I took out my light sword.
