Hope Like an Angel

Gorillas

We both ran as fast as we could, trying to leave behind dozens of gorillas of my size that darted agilely about to attack.

"Where did they come from?!" Firza leaned back, shouting. I shook my head.

The bigger problem is that we part with Yuda, so getting through this labyrinth will become even more difficult.

"AA! THE AA! AAA!" The Gorilla leader exclaimed as he pointed at my face, what are they planning?

Some of them took a lot of torches stuck on the wall, throwing them at us.

I raised my right hand back while running forward, my transparent shield bouncing everything.

"Good!" Firza gave a thumbs up, I focused again running forward.

The gorillas sounded angry. Even their running speed was greater this time.

"Argh! How do I get away from them?!" I'm upset.

Firza seemed to think. "Falisha, I have an idea!"

"What?" I waited for an idea from him, while bringing up the shield again so that the torch would not burn us alive.

Firza raised her hand also backwards, growling for something to come out of her.

"Agh!!! How do I get the explosives out of being an omni?!" He patted her on the forehead, I was still concentrating on my shield.

It seemed like Firza really did not know how to take out the explosives, if only it could, it would be a very great resistance.

"Easy! Just free! Run, Falisha!" He gave up, tidied up his shirt and pants.

However, the Gorilla Leader at the very front managed to grab my leg.

"Aah?!" I was surprised, the way he held was really strong! It's so hard to get away from him!

"AA! THE AA! THE AA! AAA!" Automatically, my body is held up high. Damnit damnit! I'm getting further and further with Firza!

"Falisha!!!" He screamed in panic.

"Leave me, run!" I don't know why I say that, but obviously my life can be lost at any time.

Hey, my eyes are glaring perfectly. Firza ran to the side, through the wall, curled up and she carried my body, I got off the grip of Leader Gorilla, what an athletic talent she has.

"Thank you." I exhaled while holding back so that my body would not fall. Firza nodded as she carried me running forward.

The herd of gorillas sounded even more furious than before.

Firza turned right. This labyrinth has a lot of holes that go in the opposite direction, we are very confused in determining which direction to go.

"Falisha! You got any ideas?!" He was facing in all directions, I shook my head.

"AA! THE AA! THE AA! THE AA! AAA!!!" BUKS! The Gorilla leader was about to hit, miss, his hard punch made the wall crack with considerable damage.

"They are so strong!" I exclaimed in surprise.

For a moment, I investigated how the group of gorillas were chasing us. They move constantly, their speed and acceleration look so smooth and consistent. As if they were ...

"Firza! I have an idea!"

"Huh?"

"When I give you the signal, jump!" I said with confidence, it'll work!

"You sure?!"

I'm nodding.

"YYESYOO!!!" BRUK!!! The Gorilla leader hovered while jumping, missing again. Now that his companions advanced even faster, Firza's agility was almost incomparable.

"Is it time?!"

"Not yet!" I answered. This time the timing should be right!

Some of them threw torches again. Firza turned in any direction to avoid the flames.

"Now?!"

Any minute. The herd had a certain time, a pause, a special pause that could be my ammo. If the pause was not used properly or at the wrong time, then it was exhausted my plan, failed.

Bwush! The last torch was thrown, Firza dodged everything, not exposed to fire. Silent, the gorillas looked for more torches, but none. It's time.

"HOME, FIRZA!"

Woosh! He moves perfectly. At that moment, I spread my hands forward, making a circular transparent shield that protected the two of us. And thanks to the training using the ship earlier, I was able to move it at will. With the ball rolling, we can leave that herd of fucking gorillas.

But damn it, me and Firza had to collide with each other, many times inside the transparent sphere.

"Aw! Ow hell! Oi! It hurts!" We complain for the umpteenth time. If only there were a way less painful than this ...

BRUCK!!! My shield is quickly destroyed. We hit the wall because my concentration was falling apart.

Firza beside me fumbled her head. "You okay?"

I nodded, helped by him standing up. In front of us, further away this time, a bunch of gorillas were furiously running, about to kill us both.

"It seems like it's my turn now." Firza stretched her palms together, like warming up. I gulped, I hope he actually managed to get his explosives out.

"AA! THE AA! AAAA!!!" The whole creature cried out, hurting the ears.

Firza closed her eyes, forcing herself a little.

"Sorry, but you have to be quick! The gorilla's getting closer!" I'm panicking.

Plop! Three small tubes came out from his palm.

"Huh?! HA! HAHAAHA! IT WORKED! I DID IT, FALISHA!" He was happy, then immediately threw everything at them.

BOOM!!! BOOM!!! BOOM!!! A huge and brutal explosion occurred, making blood spread everywhere and a thick smoke. I closed my eyes, coughed a little while protecting my mouth. Firza is too.

Slowly, the smoke began to dissipate, leaving behind a splash of blood and a hint of fur from those gorillas, we won ...

I automatically sat down, sighing in relief. "Phew... It only took three explosions, cool ..."

He wiped the sweat off his neck. "Hahaha .. Your ball-shield is also a good idea, giving us the perfect time ...

I chuckled, stretching my legs on the hard surface of the labyrinth. We must set foot after this, meet Commander Kiara, Judah and Azriel. Or if you're lucky, it's me and Firza who will see the fourth heirloom first. About what it looks like .. hopefully as beautiful as the two heirlooms we have now ...

...***...

Twelve minutes have passed.

Firza and I are focused on finding a way out. We have used various methods, such as splitting, using sound frequencies, blowing up walls with the ability of Firza, and others. But still, we get lost again, again and again.

I'm yawning. "It looks like we're dead-end. Too bad Yuda is not here .. his strength is so cool, he can feel everything that is nearby ..."

"Falisha, what are your friends like? Can you tell them to me?" Firza smiled, asking gently.

"Well, Yuda is a very good person, apart from the conflict with her brother who is now finished, she is also very talented and calm. Don't forget, it was Judah who saved you from the sea."

"Hahaha, yes-yes."

"And Azriel, I don't really know him. But he's the youngest force in my life. Azriel is exemplary and agile, as well as powerful and precise. It takes a man of the Commander's level who can match his talents."

Firza was amazed, while walking slowly so that we do not separate.

I wanted to ask you about Commander Kiara, but it seemed irrelevant, I wanted to ask you something else.

"Hey."

"Yes?"

"Zed said .. You taught Commander Kiara to fight, defend her, and the others right? What inspired you to master all of this? Your martial arts seem to be very broad." I asked enthusiastically, balancing the pace.

Firza took a very long breath, then exhaled.

"You know the case? The case that brought all Yuvia's detectives, officers, and police together just to find a solution to her problem?" He asked, his voice like a frightened person.

I shook my head. "What case?"

"People call him 'The Curse of Mankind', really, it's more terrible than anything ..." This time he spoke while sweating, also holding both of his shoulders. Oh, my God, what grim case could be called "The Curse of Mankind"?
