Hope Like an Angel

New Mystery

Mr. Zed's funeral, not far from the base.

All the troops gathered, from all the regions. I, Yuda, and Raphael stood side by side, and the other western warriors saw Mr. Zed's body being put into a white chest.

The bright light along with the blue sky shone on everyone. I sobbed while holding her back, Yuda patted my shoulder gently.

"Sir Zed, yes ..." Raphael said subtly. It seems like he has known her for a long time.

"The old man, ha. Every time I have free time, I'll play chess with him, sometimes until midnight." He continued, facing both of us.

"really? Chess?" Yudah asked.

"Yes. And until now I never won. He's very talented." Raphael chuckles. I faced him briefly.

Leonardo, along with seven other commanders, marched at the very front, using his sword of light to cast a bright beam upwards. The Great General Karlo was right in front of the white chest about to speak.

"Not a single word from my mouth would compare to Zed's many years of sacrifice as a team. With a total of 323 more missions, a dozen additional disciples, and other services that were out of bounds, I was very embarrassed to have to deal with someone as great as this." His words were firm, and authoritative. Although his voice was a little harsh, I knew that Great General Karlo was grieving in his heart.

"Zed Aloandra Drefia, we swear! Yuvia will be safe in our hands. Zed Aloandra Drefia, we swear! All mysteries will be solved. Zed Aloandra Drefia, we all swear!"

"We swear!" Everyone followed the two words General.

"Will make your sacrifice not in vain."

BOOM!!! The eight Commanders launched an attack upwards from his sword. Leo's fire, Commander Yakza's crack in the ground, Commander Kiara's ice, and the rest are not very clear what his abilities are. They launched it up so Zed could understand, we could reach the top, the top, and the equivalent of Zed's strength. We'll fight together and it looks like, until the last breath.

The final session, Commander Kiara and Firza who lowered the coffin into the ground. A few days ago, the mission towards the Southern Region was already completed, but it was hard for many to accept the half-omni Firza, even some attacks occurred at the headquarters. But with the help of Leo, Commander Kiara and others, there are already many pro parties about Firza's presence as a free man. He's not a threat to us.

Azriel was still unconscious, her fourth heart and body had drooped on the mattress of the medical room of the headquarters, her face was very limp and in pain, what a pity ...

And lastly, myself.

I was examined by the highest professors and scientists of the headquarters. Thanks to the needles that made all my body stronger, they said I had the potential to survive a nuclear attack. But yeah .. I still have to get used to myself in this new condition. Being the 'strongest person' was harder and weirder than I thought.

Anyway, this power will not be in vain. Mr. Zed, thank you. I will protect everyone with my new abilities!

...***...

During the day, at Leonardo's Reservation. The place is as usual, crowded with teams. Now the rule is that this restaurant can only be opened for two hours per day, from eleven to one noon.

Leo treated the three of us a second time, there are two reasons why he did that. One, so that I, Yuda and Raphael can rest in a relaxed manner after a heavy mission. Second, he wanted to tell me something.

"Hows it? Yummy, right?" Leo said along biting the long hotdog.

I daydreamed, staring at the glass filled with cold lychees that had been served. The food I ordered was the same, bruschetta, little buns with meat on top.

"Eh, King Galau, answer me!" Raphael patted my shoulder.

"Eh, what the hell?!"

"Good food? Listen carefully, that's why!" He's insisting.

"Ish, it's delicious!" I answered Leo's question, even though I called out to Raphael.

"That's so dong!"

"Sst, this is a restaurant ...! Not office! Don't be noisy!" Leo slightly exclaimed, while shrinking his voice. Yuda laughed a little at us.

...

"Jennifer can't come, can she?" Yuda asked briefly.

"Unfortunately no. I've asked Yakza for his presence, but the timing is not right. Jennifer's on a very important mission."

"What mission?"

"Don't know. It has to do with the origin of omni, as it usually does. So let's just pray she's okay." Leo replied calmly, continuing the hotdog he ate from.

"Dearly enough. I miss him so much." I complained. I have plenty of food, but I feel full.

Raphael nodded. "me too. She's not talking in a group on her phone anymore, it looks like Jennifer's really busy."

"Well, it's natural. With that disciplined and perfect attitude he must be much needed, not to mention his suitable posture as a troop and his well-crafted words spoken every time he spoke. Jennifer is like a light in the darkness, hope, and peace of all the world. I'd really like to see him again. Had there been a world of only two people, Jennifer and whoever the lucky man was, he would have felt enough with just his presence. Jennifer ..." Yuda casually said so, his head held on me by the right palm. Me, Raphael and Leonardo froze to see it just now.

Not long after, Raphael instantly coughed. "Good, Yuda! Just now, what was the romance?!"

"Eh?" His face was so innocent, Yuda was confused.

"Gr." I held back a laugh, Leonardo just smiled.

"Eh! What did I say? Superficial huh? Fal, don't laugh so dong! Fuckin' fal! What was I talking about?" Judah shook my body, I finally laughed. It was rare for people to say that, because they were talking about people they liked.

Uh. .. so remember when Firza said on the yacht, that .. there's a chance Raphael loves me ...

...

Raphael was still laughing loosely, Leo tried to calm down. Yuda keeps trying to make me stop.

"Yes-yes, sorry, hehehe ..." I scratched my head, Yuda's face half-sniffened.

"Oh, Judah ... gosh ..." Fourteen seconds of his duration laughed, well that's how Raphael was.

But finally, everyone silently looked at the face of Leo who was about to say something. It seems like there will be some important news from him.

"When the two of you were on a mission in the Southern Region with Commander Kiara, me and Raphael found something quite interesting." His intonation was serious, his eyes locked onto our eyes perfectly.

"We investigated the area at the end of the Elijah District, near the very tall grey building, the building for the council meeting about a dozen years ago. There, underground, we heard screams. A lot of human screams, asking for help, pain, everything else."

Our movement stopped. Judah and I were so distrustful.

"The screams underground?!" I'm worried.

"true."

I faced Raphael for a moment, he nodded while closing his eyes.

"Leo's right, Fal. His shout sounded very very very very very frightening ..."

"Then?! Has it opened?! Who're they?!"

"That's her weirdo. The voice was only out for a duration of three minutes, then, it suddenly disappeared just like that. Our state-of-the-art detectors also no longer state the presence of creatures present in the same underground. They disappeared completely, plop, exhausted instantly in less than a second. It's like teleportation." Leo drank the glass filled with wine elegantly, while saying that shocking fact ...

There was a scream sound underground, but it suddenly disappeared along with the source. What the fuck?!
