Hope Like an Angel

Farewell

Fifteen seconds later, Commander Yakza had already opened his eyes. His lying body was immediately lifted by him slowly, gradually growling in pain.

Jennifer was so proud to hold her. I have never felt happiness this well. Commander Yakza survived, he didn't die. He won't leave us.

"COMMANDANT!!!" The woman was sobbing nonstop. Still hugging the tall figure in front of him whose face was confused.

"Jennifer's? What... what happened?"

"You don't have to worry about that. Omni has lost."

"Losing? When?"

In order to give a satisfactory answer, Jennifer rubbed her eyes and nose. He tried to hold back the tears in order to speak better.

"When you fought the omni earlier, your attitude was very different. You're creepy, scary and not a person I know at all. You are the one who gave me hope, Commander. You are my true role model. The figure of the father as well as an honorable fighter. I can't go anywhere without you. I didn't want to see you like that, filled with anger. So I destroyed the barrier ground with the sword of light. Until your attention is distracted, and omni stabs you in the back. Long story short, he lost. Falisha's got the serum. And I managed to cure you." He explained while helping the Commander stand up carefully.

I smiled, nodding. I lift up the small tube filled with the burning green liquid high up.

"You guys..." The commander looked in amazement at us. Using a face of disbelief and pure hope. He's very happy. I handed the serum to him.

Then, he took a deep breath.

"thank you. Really am. From the first time I saw you guys fighting Arkane, the first omni to be found, I could see the face of constancy from Falisha. Courage Judah. And Raphael's sincerity."

He looked at Jennifer. They both saw each other.

"And your independence, Jennifer. You told me so many times, your mom and dad used to be monsters. But I think they're good, two. The first is to give birth to you, and the last is, although this is not intentional, they have made you a strong woman. Independent woman, great woman. Who knows, with this real face of yours, not blondes, not everyone's dreams, you managed to keep us all safe. Healing us many times in the middle of a mission, it was amazing.

"You, Falisha. Leonardo told me once. You always feel vengeful, dissatisfied and reckless. But look now, fate makes a loyal friend for you, and this conflict will end, that's for sure.

"Raphael, your heavy struggle that makes you the strongest young army in the base will not be in vain. The great war will come when we meet the mastermind of this nightmare, so you will be a very important role. You will feel the gift for yourself.

"Last, Yuda. You don't have to worry about Azriel. I can see it. He's my army, in the North. Azriel chose to move a few months ago, but every second I see her eyes, she still loves you. After all, an Elder Brother once loved his Sister, and once that affection was created, there would be no power in this universe that could destroy her."

...

Hearing those words, the four of us hugged her very tightly, not going to let go. I admired him so much, his heart was very manly and firm. He is very talented in being a soldier.

I want to be like him...

Zzt... Zzt...

"Eh? What'sthat?" Raphael asked.

The bag that Commander Yakza was carrying shook by itself. Quickly, he fumbled into it, then took out the same tool as before.

SING!!!

The device was dropped, giving off a bright light for a while. Then, Kak Liona's body as a hologram was again seen. She clapped her hands cheerfully, she is present before us now, not a recording.

"Great! I know you guys can definitely-EH?! WHAT'S WITH YOUR FACES?!" Hologram Liona was about to praise, suddenly surprised after seeing our dusty and dirty faces.

"God! Holy hooch! Is the challenge too difficult? Pardon me! I'm really sorry, Commander! The kids! I didn't think the challenge would be hard..."

"It's okay, Liona. The challenge is pretty easy. The kids managed to solve everything. Unfortunately we are attacked by omni from other areas, that's what makes it complicated. Even some of them awakened his power." Commander Yakza chuckled, covering his mouth with his hands.

"Power? Whoa, terrific! Congratulations, yes!" Hologram Liona laughed happily.

"Except Yuda, Sister..." Jennifer said pity. Bending down the sad helpless.

Yuda was silent, he accepted destiny as it is. "It's okay. I don't need strength to hold on, as long as I have you." Then Yuda smiled, clenching his hands. Kubalas squeezed a finger, gave him more vigor.

"Sorry, Yuda. but one day it will be active! I'm sure!" The Liona hologram supports her.

"So, Brother. What should we do with the serum?" Raphael asked.

"Take to headquarters, tell the greatest scientist there is. He was able to duplicate everything as the hunt progressed."

"A jealous?" I'm astonished.

"So, that means..."

"Yes, Fal. Headquarters will work hard, harder than ever." Hearing his words, I remembered the incident earlier. The omni exploded when asked by Raphael about how they got up. Very quaint...

"Ten." Suddenly a computer voice appeared, it was a countdown again like before.

"Any! I have to slow down the duration! All right, I'm so proud of you guys. I'm like a mother who sees her children succeed, so proud! Very!" Hologram Liona smiled widely, saying cheerfully.

"This ain't gonna work without you, brother. Thank you." Thank you." I said again while looking down. I was very lucky to be surrounded by such humble geniuses.

"Either. Alright, carefully head for the Elia District. And Jennifer, it looks like today is the time, doesn't it?" Eh? Her time? Time for what?

"Yes, Brother. Today is the last." Jennifer nodded. Whatdoes thatmean? What does he mean?

ZZEP! The Liona hologram died, leaving silence in the laboratory and a strong wind. I breathed a tired and relieved breath. This mission is over.

But... What did that mean?

"Jennifer's? What does that mean...?" Yuda asked, his voice trembling and anxious.

...

Jennifer doesn't talk, quiet.

"An honor. You can fight beside you." Jennifer bent down, her head down.

"Hey... What do you mean?" Yudah asked again.

For a moment, Jennifer looked at the Commander. Should I tell them?

Commander Yakza nodded briefly. Yep. They have a right to know.

Then, he took a heavy breath, exhaling it slowly.

"When I was accepted into the army, Great General Karlo saw that I was more suitable and useful while under the guidance or becoming the army of Commander Yakza. And because of my home in the Western Regions, the General said he gave me two years until I was transferred to the Northern Regions forever with the Commander. And today is my last day, so I can't go on a mission with you anymore." He explains it carefully. His face was about to hold sedu.

"Wait..wait a minute! Wait a minute, Jennifer! You mean... You mean you're leaving us? You're just gonna leave? B... What about the house?! The house in the Northern Region will be different from the West!" Yuda did not accept, he shook Jennifer's shoulder with a glare. He did not accept this fact, neither did I. Why did he have to leave...? Why...?

"House in the Northern Region will be the same as the Western Region, because the headquarters are prepared. Sorry, Yuda. But I'm sure you'll be a very great warrior, even above the Commanders. You'll have peace with your brother. It's all possible without my presence-"

"But what is the guarantee of all that?! You're one of the people who came to save me from Arkane, you sacrificed your jaws on Massacre Day, you became the great Chairman of OSIS at school! That...it's all thanks to you being so talented! It's all because of you!"

"No, Yuda. All thanks to yourself. I see goodness in your heart, unlike me who lives in falsehood. That's why I'm protecting you." Jennifer's smile widened, the more I didn't want to hear more from her.

Yuda's breathing sounded heavy, my breathing was desperately holding. Once I breathe I will cry. Jennifer is a carefree, smart, passionate child and always laughs. No one knows that he held back his past and gave happiness to others for years without accepting it for himself, until making a new body, a new face and different hair. And when I just understood her feelings, she left instead. In fact, they may never see each other again...

"That means... Will you stop being Chairman of OSIS? Who...who will replace you later?! Nothing in this school is as smart as you are in the lead! We.. we will not function properly without you! Teachers, principals, even Mr. Rudi, security guards for seven years praised all your example!" Raphael exclaimed in disbelief, starting to sob, his eyes glazed over. I closed my eyes with my left palm.

Jennifer refers to Raphael.

"You, Raf."

"A...I...?"

"If there's a rival or a second version of myself, it's Raphael. We're becoming an iconic duo at school, right? You're no different than me, Raf. It's just that you're more humorous than me. Haha." He laughed back, rubbing a part of his left eye.

"But...but...! Argh!!! Falishah! Say something! Stop him from moving!" Raphael didn't accept it, I still closed my eyes.

Silent. I knew everyone was staring at me, waiting for the words to come out of my mouth.

I'm resigned. Release my hand. Let them see my reddened face, filled with tears and ugly. I hugged Jennifer tightly.

"It's okay, at least you deserve pure happiness. You don't have to disguise yourself as a 'Perfect Blonde Woman' anymore. After all, we can still talk through the application on the phone. Jennifer, I'm proud of you." He deserves to be happy, rest and live without falsehoods. It is hard to imagine all of his struggles.

Hurry up, Jennifer hugged me back. "Thank you, Falisha. I'm proud of you too. As a fan, I'll never forget you, I won't."

Short of time, we all approached, hugging. Say thank you and farewell. He joked with laughter and exclaimed cheerfully. Had gone through a foolish and clever period together, Jennifer would move area in a moment ...
