Hope Like an Angel

The wood?

Then, the five of us raised our feet towards the "Tube Building" that Brother Liona said, through this light green valley. Every now and then I'll sweat on my forehead, it's so hot this afternoon, uh-I mean this afternoon.

The sky is also starting to fall, soon at night.

In front of me, Commander Yakza and Jennifer were chatting, even though I didn't know what they were talking about. Raphael and Judah were joking. I just stared at this cool sight on my right and left. While saying some souvenirs that pass over the head.

Commander Yakza, yes, the first time I saw him, he felt scary and creepy. But it turned out to be quite nice and gentle. Not like the creepy Leo...

... What is the power of the sword of Commander Yakza? A magnet? Wow, that's so cool. But it doesn't seem...

Maybe brainwashing? Well then anyway, the Peacekeeping Force will more easily win against the omni...

Sreth!

Commander Yakza raised his hand, a voice sounded on the left, all movement stopped.

...

Silence, no one spoke at all. We're all wary of what's hiding there.

"What is it, Commander?" Jennifer whispered softly, The commander examined her, advancing slowly.

At first glance, we all follow him. Simultaneously advance with great caution...

Getting closer, there's still nothing in there

BUKS!

"RAPHAEL!" Yuda's cry sounded from behind, we all saw it.

What'sthat?! The omni! Dress black! A figure of omni hit Raphael's head with... wood?!

Seps! Seps! Seps! Yuda brought Raphael's body closer, we all gathered at one point.

Raphael was limp, not faint, but he looked tired...

"Oh.. that damn omni did a surprise attack..." He was groaning in pain, stroking his head.

Why is there an omni here?! Isn't the Northern Region over?!

THE SET! Commander Yakza shot forward, his speed was impressive!

CRAT! He cut off omni's arm, BRUK! Kick his leg to fall. Then stab the drooping omni in the chest.

"Why are you here? All omni in the North is gone." Commander Yakza bowed, his head approached and asked presumptuously.

"Hehehe... Yakza Yakza Yakza. you..." The omni laughed off, despite coughing up blood in black...

"You. your son must be very disappointed with you..." The commander is insulted again, his intonation starts to suck. Jennifer in front of me clenched her hands, about to help.

"Don't, Jenn..." Raphael had already sat down, wiping a hint of blood on his head.

"But..."

"Don't. Look, Commander Yakza can already defeat him by himself and quickly. He doesn't need our help..."

Hearing that, we all looked at him worriedly. But sure enough, he won. It was not until ten seconds that the omni was stabbed could not move.

KRK!

"DOLL?!" I was surprised, his entire body turned into wood!

He is an omni who can turn himself into wood!

"!" Quickly, the Commander moved away, pulling out his sword thrust.

KRKC... A BWUSH!

"HE'S ABOUT TO RUN AWAY!" I could see the piece of wood breaking into many, with a shitty coincidence, the strong wind was hitting nature. The little woods flew away from, very high and began to disappear...

Commander Yakza ran over while putting his sword back. His face was anxious to see Raphael rubbing his head.

"We have to go after him!"

"No, Raphael. Your wounds are more important-"

"The omni's escaped! Go after him Commander!"

"Raphela."

...

His words were subtly cut, but Raphael could feel them, I could feel them. The commander did not care about the omni, his full attention gathered on our safety...

"Now, let me see the wound." He was vigilantly examining Raphael's head. Look at it with calculation and certainty.

He was putting emphasis on his injuries, sometimes Raphael cleared his throat, in pain.

"Don't be noisy." I'm kidding.

"Hgm." Replied with a sigh, we chuckled at him.

After a few minutes, Raphael's head was bandaged by her. It turned out that the bag attached next to Commander Yakza's uniform saved some things for this mission.

We regrouped, alert to the situation.

"All the omni in the Northern Region is up. I guarantee that." Commander reiterated.

"But how? Why is he here?" I'm confused.

"If true, this is bad. Just my theory, you already know that, in other areas, not all commanders managed to slaughter monsters. Some of them escaped, and these blurs must have darted rapidly towards the Northern Region. That's why he can show up." He answered my question, rubbed his chin.

...

Loincloth...

Well then, the omni are really dangerous.

"What's the guarantee he won't come back, Commander?"

"Seeing from his attack, which locked Raphael away, it was certain that he was a coward. Hit a subject whose uniform is just like yours. Usually omni attacks me directly, a commander, but this one doesn't. He won't come back until I'm dead." Commander Yakza smiled making us fearless. I breathed a sigh of relief, right, unlike Dharr, Ava, Arkane, this one attacked the subordinates...

"Raphael, are you sure you can continue on the mission?" Then he asked. Raphael stood up slowly, though still pitting, dizzy.

"Well, I'll try, Commander." He answered sure. I patted her on the shoulder "Good."

Yuda and Jennifer smiled, it's legal, we'll all continue the mission.

...***...

Eleven minutes of walking, still in the light green valley, the five of us stood on empty ground.

"Where is the building, Commander?" Ask Jennifer. We have since been staring in all directions looking for its place, the tube-shaped building.

Commander Yakza chuckled. "Just wait."

Suddenly, it felt a really great vibe. The shock was not so terrible, yet it sounded like it was stirring up something.

Then, in front of us, the ground of the valley made a very wide hole. The Tube Building, as the name implies, was like a large gray barrel, emerging from the hole. Slowly go up and greet us. The size is giant and suitable to be used as a small resting house. There were many challenges made by Kak Liona waiting inside.

I exhaled slowly. Hopefully not as difficult as I thought. After all, Brother Liona must be the calculation when making all this...

Krek! A quarter of Building Tubes, the bottom, split large.

"The building's ruined?!"

"No, Fal. This must be the entrance." Raphael laughed, patting my shoulder.

Thank goodness omni attacked this place...

"Don't stay up! Bleee!" Doddle out! He sneered while pulling the bottom of his left eye! Fuck up!

"All right, come on." Commander Yakza led the way, we all followed him. Enter into which there is nothing. Just nil, and dark. But the air here feels fresh.

Brek! The part that was split apart, closed slowly. Now we can't see anything. The black color occupied my sight, it made no difference when closing my eyes.

"Hoaam..."

"Haha..." Yuda laughed at Jennifer's jokes. It's a pity that I can't see both...

A BWUSH! A fire lit up at the front end, lighting up around us. The full darkness disappeared little by little.

"Fire?" I tilt my head.

Well, I didn't realize it. This room is the first floor. There was a painting stuck in the middle, a shelf arranged with books following the shape of the building, and the fire was in its fireplace, under the painting.

Suddenly, there was a vibration that could be felt throughout my body. Like a small earthquake.

Finally, at the left end, there was a brick rising from the tile. Followed by the brick in front of him which is higher, followed again by higher, again, again, and again. Because this building is tube-shaped, so the collection of stones is circular, making a ladder for us to climb on the second floor.

Commander Yakza leads the way again, we all follow him from behind slowly.

"Fale..." Raphael behind me whispered, as we climbed up the stairs.

"What?"

"After Logan's attack yesterday, I felt you were hiding something from me..."
