Hope Like an Angel

Northern Region

We were walking towards the Elia District, Leo said we could use that teleportation technology to go to the Northern Region.

It was already early in the afternoon, the sun was scattering the hot rays hitting our faces. It was always different because everyone was evacuated.

"I've never been on a mission with a leader other than Leo, if I'm not mistaken, there are eight in total?" I'm curious.

"Yup, they're great. I've seen one." Yudah answered.

"Really?"

"Yes, Commander Kiara. He is the Commander of the Southern Area Army. At that time the case was Brother Azriel-"

...

Yuda was suddenly silent. It seems that mentioning that name is still not pleasant...

Raphael and I looked at him for pity. Raphael patted his shoulder slowly...

Yuda smiled a little.

"At that time the case was that Big Brother was appointed to be one of the best soldiers in the headquarters. But there must be a certain challenge, against one of the Commanders. The result should last for five minutes, or a draw. If he wins, he will be the next commander. Well, Big Brother can be Commander Kiara as his opponent, and according to rumors, a duel between the two of them that defeats any fight inside the headquarters." Yuda gave a wide grin, he looked like a big fan of that battle.

Azriel's sister.it seems like she's very good, being one of the best soldiers in the base...

Wait, Commander Kiara is female? Whoa, not what I saw that day? Like a teenager?

Eh, can't he be a teenage Commander?!

...***...

Arriving in Elia District, this cool and futuristic city is even quiet, very sorry...

We were in a place surrounded by big stones. Since there were only three people here, this place felt much bigger. The place Leo used to give instructions to all Western troops on the Day of the Massacre...

"Umm... How does it work?" Raphael's head was facing in all directions, me and Judah were similar.

"Maybe.we must-" I'm about to follow.

SIIIEVING!

Eh?

The bright white light was blinding, I couldn't see!

SIIIIIIIIIEVING!

I closed my eyes completely. Jesus, what's that light? Why so bright?

But... Why do my legs feel so much smoother now? The atmosphere also changed, even though I could not see anything. And also the heat is more on than ever before.

"Gee..." There was Raphael's voice that sounded amazed, I still closed my eyes.

"What's up, Raf? What's up there?"

"You've got to see for yourself, Fal. It's so beautiful..." His voice was getting smaller, he seemed to be stepping forward slowly...

"Yuda? What say?" I asked again.

"Raphael is right. This is good to look at..." Equally, Yuda sounded amazed.

All right, I'll open my eyes...

I was in a light green valley with a mountain in between. A few sounds I could not understand greeted my ears gently. The air is also cool and soothing...

Uh, is this the North? The valley?

"Ah, you've arrived!" The voice of the woman behind me approached. The three of us turned our bodies around.

"Jennifer!" I exclaimed. She walked cheerfully and smiled widely, her beautiful blonde hair was tied neatly, she was very fragrant, what a beauty today!

"The Yakza commander needed help earlier, looking for a location. But it's done, he's waiting for us near there! Come on!" He answered, waved his hand and walked behind him.

The three of us stared at each other, but ended up following Jennifer behind him. The short grasses below look very satisfying.

I stared at the two mountains on my right and left, can I go up there one day? Ah, it feels impossible. But maybe...?

Oh yeah, I haven't told Leo about my powers. Raphael, Yuda and Jennifer have not. Maybe someday.

"Let's eat, come on, well, spend yaaa..." An old, heavy and dashing voice sounded not far from me.

Uh, there's someone who's.. What is it? The grains? He threw the grain at the flying red sandals. He landed and ate it.

Long hair tied up, tall and gallant body, his thin beard.it's Commander Yakza! I remember his face!

Wait a minute, there's a bag attached next to his uniform? No rope, just a bag.

"Commander!" Jennifer waved at her, then she turned her head, facing us all.

"Ah, welcome." His voice sounded clear, slightly hoarse and heavier. We all approached each other, I didn't dare to talk.he looked scary, but.

"Commander, here they are! Falisha, Raphael and Yuda!" Jennifer is pleased to introduce us. Subdued.

"I've heard a lot about you guys. And thank you for your time. It's an honor to meet an exemplary soldier like you." He looked down. Oh, my God, we should have said that. He is very humble, yes.

The red glower flew over to Commander Yakza, circling around him.

"Hahaha, it's the same." Reply, while staring at the bird away from us.

"Well, before you start this mission, any questions?" She said. Whahuh? Questions?

We looked at each other. Baffled.

"I, Commander." Yuda raised his hand.

"Please, Judah."

"Do... does all of the Northern Region cover the plateau? Is it urban or for example...mall, here?" He made his words clear, his face very curious.

"Haha. No, Son. In the Northern Region, there was no such thing as a mall, an urban one, or anything like that. Residents here tend to enjoy simplicity and hard work. So the only ones using cutting-edge technology are the Peacekeeping Forces. The rest is ordinary, moving according to his livelihood." Commander Yakza chuckled, answering as subtly as possible.

Oh, my God, so that's it. They prefer simplicity. It's only fitting that I don't see a luxury building in the slightest, this is very different from the Western Regions...

"Commander, I have a question." It was Raphael's turn who raised his hand.

"Please."

"What serum do you want to make? Sorry, I forgot."

"good. In short, the serum was an omni healer, and was only finished being produced, so this mission is happening now. It can turn omni back into a human. Later when it is taken, it will be duplicated for others. So when they recover, the final task of the army is to find out who is behind all the monsters. I see." Commander Yakza answered the question. His tall body stood up more upright, we nodded slowly.

"Why take us, Commander? I'm sorry, I don't mean to object or offend, but I'm sure the Commander has been really great, doesn't need us." I ask now, still astonished.

"That's a request from my scientist. He specifically said your names to follow this mission." After saying, Commander Yakza took a small tube from his pocket, then threw it on the grass.

Whatisthis? Nothing happened

"Contact, contact, please wait. Call, call, please wait." Eh?! The tube makes a sound! Like the device that called me!

At first glance, a light blue light came out from there, saying "Loading.." which winked nonstop.

"Sorry, it's a bit long. Instead, you will see someone you already know. This science is so good." Commander Yakza chimed in, waiting for the device.

"Connections work." ZRUNG! Having said that, there was a human-shaped hologram coming out from there, its height was comparable to real life, neither smaller nor larger.

Wait a minute... Brother Liona?!
