Presage Flower: Sapphire'S Sorrow

Pughacev's Cobra

Sky and his sister walked out towards the hangar where their plane was prepared, he didn't need to know what plane was going to take them, where it was going to take off, or anything else of the sort, he said, he only needed to see if one of the special team members was gathering with the others.

And of course he found them being gathered near a medium-sized military cargo plane Rayet 980.

"Archer, is it over?" Ask Panda.

"It should be, let's go." Answer the sky while getting on the plane.

"All right, let's go inside."

The Sky-bound Rayet plane with her team members had already taken off, flying straight towards Kyuto for further investigation. After the Sky-ridden Rayet plane disappeared over the horizon line, Elish closed the roof of the fighter plane with her inside using the equipment for battle.

"Krrsscht-here the control center, allowing the Norden squad to take off, good luck."

The sound from the radio attached to Elish's helmet stopped.

"Here the captain of the Norden squad, begins the eviction operation."

Four Rattlesnake aircraft took off towards the critical sea area, the Indiana Sea border.

The Indiana Sea border is becoming a conflict-prone area as the Eastern European Union is trying to claim that the Indian Sea is theirs in line with its historical track record, but the Republic of Asia United did not give it away because they won this sea in the third world war.

"Here Elish, separating from the squad, begins the procedure of stage 1."

"Here Ferret, you're allowed to start stage 1, good luck."

Elish is not a squad leader, he is just an air force soldier who started his career 2 years ago, and has a special track record. He successfully completed patrol missions, intercepted aircraft of other countries' air forces entering Republican territory without permission, and others.

His training was completed in just 1 year, and he was a genius like the Sky.

"Confirmed a fleet of fishing vessels with the flag of Eastern Europe." Elish said on the radio.

"It is permissible to destroy them."

"accepted."

Elish swooped down from 3,400 feet above the sea, firing a high-explosive 50-millimeter machine gun that meant it would explode once it hit the target, it is suitable for melting metal plates of ships and making them sink with minimal casualties.

Not enough with one dive, Elish returned to the sky and swooped, shot and sunk all illegal fishing boats in accordance with the rules of law set by the government.

"Here Elish, the extermination of the illegal fishing boat is complete."

"Accepted Elish. Igris, make contact with the frog squad to secure them."

"Here Igris, understand."

Elish raises his plane on par with the rest of his squad, 3400 feet is the standard altitude for an air force soldier.

'Hm? What'sis this?' Elish asked inwardly as he saw something approaching at high speed towards his squad via the 3-dimensional Doppler radar.

"Confirmed 6 unidentified aircraft via Doppler radar, speed of 1720 miles per hour."

"The control center, here Norden's squad, detected 6 unidentified aircraft"

The Ferret aircraft that became the leader of the squad this time was shot down by an opposing plane that had just been seen on radar.

"Ferrat!" Elish yelled on the radio.

Elish saw with his own eyes the plane that Ferret was flying into the ocean after his engine exploded. The unidentified warplanes raised the ketinggan and disappeared above the clouds.

"Here the control center, to Ferret, please repeat."

"Here the control center, Ferret retry."

"Ferret, answer."

"Here Iron, Ferret is shot down, asking permission to fight back." Said a squad member named Iron who survived.

"Accepted, Iron, please hold them for 920 seconds until reinforcements arrive."

'Damn it, 920 seconds is enough to go to the supermarket, buy instant noodles, then go back home.' Elish thought as he maneuvered to follow Iron and Phoenix heading for the territory of the United States Asian Republic.

"Here Phoenix, is there a way to defeat them?"

"There should be, I saw Ferret falling with a non-missile projectile, they should only have a machine gun." Answer Elish.

"Raise the heights, we will fight on the clouds." Iron's orders to the others.

"Ready."

"Understand."

Elish and the others raised the altitude to penetrate the clouds, he did not see any other aircraft on the Doppler radar, but they should be visible to the naked eye.

Suddenly the indicator on the radar goes off, identifying a foreign body in the sky.

"Found foreign aircraft in the 60 southeast, preparing for battle." Iron command, "Strategy 6, on cue."

"Understand."

"Understand."

Elish separated from the squad by raising the altitude to 6340 feet above the sea, he planned to be invisible at altitude and stab them in the back.

While Iron and Phoenix are fighting against 4 other aircraft.

'Wait, 4 planes? Where are the other two?' Think Elish.

Suddenly, the Elish indicator detects an incoming missile, when the plane is about to fire a missile, it must need a target that must be locked, and when it is locked, the missile will follow the heat released by the engine until the aircraft is hit and destroyed.

'Shit! Two of them are after me.'

Elish maneuvered to evade the 4 missiles that were chasing him, and as he swooped around, the missile lost its way to follow and hit another missile, leaving only two missiles chasing after him. But unlucky for Elish because the missile indicator sounds again, and this time there are 6 missiles chasing him.

'You think this is funny?'

Elish was flying at high speed, the missile that was chasing him followed along with the two planes that were chasing him.

After Elish launched the countermeasure, it was a device that emitted tremendous heat, hotter than an engine, suitable for distracting the missiles.

Cteks.

Countermeasure is launched starting from hatch 1 to 4, each hatch releases a countermeasure that will split into two.

Duar duar duar boom duar.

All the missiles were diverted and he is now safe, except from the machine guns of two approaching aircraft.

'Now!'

Elish stepped on the brake pedal, pulling the steering wheel until the muzzle of his plane rose drastically from 120˚ to 90˚, making his plane position vertical and letting the other two planes advance past Elish, after that he stepped on the acceleration pedal and lowered the muzzle of the plane to return to a horizontal position to chase two opposing aircraft.

Braking in the sky, moving from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock, from being chased to chasing.

Pugachev's Cobra, or cobra maneuver, is one of Elish DeCapel's skills.

'The rest just need to shoot them with machine guns.' Elish thought as he pressed the button to fire the machine gun.

The bullet destroyed the engine of the opponent's aircraft, some of the missiles launched also hit the opponent well, it might be too difficult for them to dodge Elish's attack in shock after seeing the cobra's maneuvering.

"The two who were chasing me fell." Elish said on the radio.

"We beat them, but Iron fell." Phoenix answered by radio.

"I'm sorry for taking too long."

"What's wrong, they're SU-780, the latest series from Eastern Europe, it's only natural that we lose two people." He replied at length, "We're back at the hangar."

"Understand."

At night, the military members sleep in a room that is enough for 8 people with mattresses. In the morning, when the examination is complete, there is a possibility that the roommate who wet the bed and hit his friend below, or who snore the loudest, will not return from the mission.

This is natural, and Elish is used to seeing his friends killed on missions.

On the other hand, the Sky that was already inside the demon church investigated the altar that was in the middle of the church, next to the secret elevator that he had used a long time ago.

"It's strange, if this is indeed the Solonnell Altar, and they are Baetruneya's people, shouldn't there be a clue?" Princess Said.

"I'm looking for that lead, Prinses." Answer the Sky while standing and touching the small goat statue with a stick in his left hand, "Please be a little."

{[Oh, come on, you just need to read the spell correctly, man.]}

Sky opened his book again, he brought the same book that he had last brought to this church, but he did not have the intention to do anything to the book because he did not have a premonition for it.

"Have you met, Archer?" Tanya Panda who just came through the elevator that had been opened earlier by the Sky.

"Not yet, it's dead end."

Panda glanced at the Princess, who glimpsed just shrugged the sign of not knowing anything.

'If this is really the Solonnell Altar they mean, then they are the Baetruneya people, there should be a note, or a painting.' Think of the sky while reading the empty verses.

'Wait, painting?'

The ceiling stands and directs the lights to the ceiling of the church, there are a lot of unusual paintings for a church.

The sky smiled, "Yet."

"What did you find, Archer?" Harpy asked curiously, he's not too smart about this.

"Ranger, get me my bag. Prinses, turn on the camera immediately and point it at me. And Panda, brighten the ceiling." The command of Heaven as it walked up to the altar.

"Understand." Answer Princess.

"okay." Panda and Ocean answered at the same time.

{[Hm, hm, realize something? What are you trying, man?]}

The sky opened his book, he flipped through his book from the front page, then back, back to front again, as if looking for something that does not exist.

"That's Keratos." Sky said as he pointed to an angel in the painting, "And he was being cut off his wings for not prostrating for the ground."

"Then he fell into the middle world, made a group from small to large, and settled down in the underworld."

The ceiling pointed at the row of angels with a ball of white light in the painting on the ceiling.

"And he was slain by the angels, his body was rotting in the prison of heaven, and his spirit was left only splinters."

"What do you mean, Sky?"

"Satan needs victims from his followers, and the victims I mean, the kidnapped virgins."

All were silent, they were silent because they were so shocked by the absurd words just now, but if the one who spoke was Heaven, they tried their best to believe.

"You're recording this, Prinses?" Ask Sky while taking something from the bag that was taken by his sister.

"I'm recording this."

"Harpy, Dragon, put a chair here." The command of Heaven, both of them nodded and placed a chair in the middle of the altar.

"Cuff my hands and feet."

"Huh?"

"Archer, you-you"

"Just do it." The word Sky cut the words Panda and Princess, after which they handcuffed both hands and feet respectively so as not to move in all directions.

"Ranger, get the knife out of my bag."

"knife? This is?" The ocean showed an ordinary knife to the sky.

"Yes, then the book, hold that page for me." Sky Words.

Samudra held onto the book and held the page at her brother's command, she also held a knife in the other hand.

"Archer, what are you doing?" Ask Panda.

"Give your guns to my head."

"Well?!" Everyone gasped almost simultaneously, they were startled as Sky asked them to point the rifle at his head.

"But, why?"

"Shut up and do my bidding!" Commanding the Heavens with a loud voice, his face was extremely frightening, at least for others other than the Ocean.

"All right, let's point it at his head." The Princess said as she gestured to raise the gun, the others complied and aimed the rifle at the head of the Sky.

Everything was silent, nothing moved in the slightest, cold sweat came out from their foreheads and soaked the entire body, The ocean that saw her brother was frightened, must have been worried about her brother, she said, he held the knife and the book with trembling hands.

"Samudra, prick my hand."

"Well?!"

"DO IT!"

The ocean closed her eyes while thrusting a knife into her brother's cubit, the blood splashed onto her face so deeply felt, let alone the scream of her brother who was so deafening to her ears.

The clanking sound of the chains of handcuffs was so loud, that his wrists were flushed red, all his neck veins came out because he was shouting so loudly, the chair he was sitting on was also swaying around.

"Huuuhh-huuhh, huff, huff." The sky tried to calm itself.

"Forte diun inshct, ung iz mein aiz, show me the truth, o guide, corplei ung aistruch iz ain."

The body of Heaven was silent, not moving in the slightest, there was no sound of him moving, nor breathing.

"Sister?"

"Archer, he, he's why?"

The sky suddenly woke up with widened eyes, his saliva coming out very much.

"AAAAAAAAARRHHHHH! AAAAHHHH! AAAAHH! AHHHHH!"

'What is this, a temple?'

In his shadow, Heaven did not feel any pain at all, he was standing behind a building that was like a certain temple of teachings, he saw a van coming and from the door of the van, he said, several robed men came out along with a girl whose head was covered in a black pouch.

In reality, Heaven screamed so loudly, his skin was flushed red, his eyes blackened and bled out, his mouth was foamy, and his nose was nosebleed so much.

'Who is that girl? Why was he slaughtered?' He asked inwardly as soon as he saw the girl slaughtered with a dagger, her blood was contained in a bucket and her heart was taken away.

"HAAAHH! OHHAAHH! HAAAHS! HUEH! HUUAEAAH!"

The body of Heaven was like possessed, his skin that had been flushed red was now emitting steam as his blood coming out from his mouth, nose, and eyes were all boiling and mongering just like that.

"Sir! Brother!" The ocean touched her brother's face, "Oh!"

"Rangers! Back off!"

The ocean retreated backwards and held onto her hand that was holding her brother's face, her palm now blistered.

'Meet you guys fucking.' Thought the Heavens as soon as one of them took out a book with a picture of the star of david with exactly the same symbols that Videl drew, also with the cross upside down on the other side.

In reality, the Sky neck veins are popping, the foam in his mouth is more and more, but mongering and creating steam out of his mouth, the blood that comes out is also more and more, and more, making his sister cry without being able to do anything behind the still recording Princess.

"Alert! He just let out steam!" Princess's Order.

"His skin is like fire! We'll shoot him!" Shouting Dragon.

"Stay in place, damn it! Don't shoot before me!" Shouting Princess.

The steam coming out of the mouth of the sky grew more and more, its teeth colliding with each other and creating a very loud rumbling sound.

"In ert duest ein verne! Kuratos bier et minekamf ein inst! Hahguls! Hahguls! Hahgul mano et virsetat verne!"

"Huaaaahhahahahah."

The sky returned to its original shape, his face and his entire body were now pale white as chalk, his eye lenses were reddish yellow, and he was in a very, very bad condition with dry blood all over his body.

"What is this really about?" Asked the Princess who still could not believe what she had just seen.

{[Hehehe, you can finally do it, son of adam. Now, it will be easier to reach you someday.]}

"Panda! Call medical reinforcements, hurry!" The Princess' orders as soon as she regains consciousness.

"Ready!"

"Harpy, Dragon, Ela, Judas, help Heaven and evacuate him immediately!"

"Ready!" Reply all at once and then run towards the sky and help him on his back.

"Belyn, Miru, help deal with Ranger's wounds." Princess's Order.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Ready."

'The hand is so bad, is it that hot? At least this wound goes into a 2nd degree burn.' Thought Belyn was once treating soldiers who had been burned in the field.

"Lad." Ocean groaning.

"I'm sorry, I'll give you first aid right away." Belyn said as she opened her bag of equipment, there were a lot of medicines she was carrying there, although she did not expect any burns, at least she was carrying special burn gauze.

"It's a little sick, please hold on." Belyn said while injecting dope on the palm of the Ocean at some point.

"Engghh, hngg." The ocean groaned, she tightly hugged Miru's hand beside her.

'Actually what was that?' Thought the Princess while glancing at the Panda who was checking the signs of life on the body of the Sky.

Panda just shrugged his shoulders at the sign of not knowing anything.

The princess lowered her head.

***

A few days after the incident at the devil's church in Kyuto, Sky woke up in a room with an infusion injection in his hand, a distinctive antiseptic smell making him sure he was in the hospital, I don't know which hospital.

His body was painful, very sick, the wound in his hand was healed, he got 6 stitches in the cubits of his hand, and he couldn't move at all.

"Errh, ghg!" The sky was trying to groan, who knew that someone had heard and approached him.

"Corn? The sky you're aware of?" Asked someone with an obscure face in the eyes of Heaven, it was because his gaze was blurred, probably because it was spitting out too much blood.

Some other people came to Sky's bed, it seemed like the doctor, judging by the size of the white suit she was wearing, I don't know, maybe just a male nurse, Sky didn't know.

"Be-era-pa, la, hah, la-ma-"

"Langit, you've been sleeping for almost 3 days, it's okay, go back to sleep, don't force yourself."

The voice sounded foreign in the ears of Heaven, he did not recognize the voice of the woman.

"Sister! Is he conscious?" The Ocean comes with Vianji and the Princess, they enter the Sky room after getting word that the Sky is conscious.

"Uh, DeCapel? What are you doing here?" Samudra asked the woman who turned out to be Elish DeCapel.

"Oh, I went to see him, it just so happened that when I saw him he was conscious." Elish explained his situation.

"Doctor, how's he doing?" Asked the Princess while approaching the doctor who was waiting for the results of the examination from the nurse next to him.

"Wait a minute." He replied while receiving an examination report from the nurse next to him, "His vitals are good, there are no symptoms of concussion, but, there is a chance that he has blindness."

Everything was silent, the Ocean and the Princess who knew best what had happened to the Sky did not give the reality, that the Sky was spitting too much blood out of her eyes.

"At least he won't be able to get out of here until the next week."

Surprised ocean.

"But he's got a test next weekend." Vianji said as he held back a cry, "He can't pass."

"And unfortunately, he could die if he suddenly took the graduation exam." The doctor replied as he walked towards the Ocean and patted him on the shoulder, "It's hard, but don't force your brother."

Ocean could not reply, he could only regret his decision of stabbing his brother's hand and letting him recite the incantation from the cursed book.

"Huuu huu, huuu." The ocean cried while holding its voice so as not to be too loud.

The princess sympathized with the Ocean and tried to calm him down by holding his hands and shoulders.

"That's okay, Ranger, it's okay, he's your brother, he's amazing, he can definitely come back." The princess tried to calm him down.

Elish who saw the Ocean crying while standing there felt pity, he could not bear it and went out of the Sky room, but before he turned the door knob, Ocean threw a knife and stuck it in the door, almost about Elish's hand.

"Ocean?"

The ocean whose face was still wet, with puffy eyes, approached him and struck Elish in the face with a trembling fist.

His punch landed again in the stomach of Elish who did not fight, the Princess just silently watched the Ocean beat Elish like a samsak.

"That's enough?" Elish asked with her face bruised and blood coming out of her nose.

"Ka~u ber, ber~utang menje~lasan, to, sister." Said Samudra in a voice that shook stingingly, she was still sad and still wanted to cry, but she was trying hard and strong.

Elish took out her handkerchief, she wiped her face from the blood, after which she sat on a chair, drinking the water that was in the cup.

"I was in the car with my mom and dad. We actually wanted to move to Temeria in Harphia, so we took the toll road. Then when we were on mile 32, the explosion happened. I saw for myself with my eyes a fire that was burning like that. Your mom and dad's car became the first to explode, and my car stopped because it hit your dad's car."

Elish drank the mineral water again.

"There was a roadside victim, she was a passenger in a cargo car carrying vegetables, she was sitting on vegetables she was carrying, while her friend was driving. I saw him hit by a pile of vegetables from his overturned car, I got out of my car to save him. Just then, the cargo car that his friend was driving pulled gasoline from the hose that was damaged by the impact, I ran to save him but I failed."

"You're late?" Ask Princess.

"The car exploded faster." Elish answered while taking off her clothes and showing her her whole body.

"Gosh my god." Vianji said as he closed his mouth.

The ocean was silent, while the Princess closed her eyes unable to see.

Elish's stomach was full of scars, and most of the burns were permanent, after which he opened the skin of his arm, and it turned out that he was using an artificial arm.

"The car's glass hit my right arm, so bad it had to be amputated. I got this cyber-culoskeletal arm after I spent my father's savings." He said he explained, after that he showed his back which was also full of burns and stab wounds.

Vianji closed his eyes like a Princess, he could not see, while Samudra was feeling pity.

"At that time, as I ran back to my father's car, it exploded, I reflexively turned my back, but the shards of glass and metal plates were piercing my back."

Elish put on the leather back that covered his artificial arm, then put his clothes back on.

"Therefore I am alive."

"I saw you in the paper, said your body was found."

"I fainted back then, people thought I died because my heartbeat stopped due to severe shock, the nurse saved me using a defibrillator, my heart came back and I was in a coma for 2 months."

The ocean threw herself into Elish's arms, "Why don't you call us?"

Elish smiled, Samudra is still a child like before, he misses this duplicate figure of Heaven, "I enlisted as an air force soldier, because I am an orphan, he said, I got a certification a little long ago from the others."

"Therefore we meet at the hangar."

"Yes, Ocean, therefore we meet in the hangar."

"Hiks, hysterics." The ocean wept in Elish's arms, she longed for a woman who, like her brother, treated her, not Vianji Basa, or Sri Sudarsih Kusumaning Putri, not Senimorangkir Januri, even though she was a man.

She needs a mother, and the ideal mother in her eyes is Elish DeCapel.

"Oh yeah." The ocean let go of her smile, "This is Sri Sudarsih Kusumaning Putri, Prinses code."

"My name is Elish DeCapel, code Pugachev, but please call me Elish, I don't really like the name of my code." Elish said while shaking the Princess' hand.

"Sister Elish, this is Vianji Basa, our teacher, and my sister's fiancee."

"Oh my goodness, fiancee?" Elish was surprised.

"Include me, I'm their teacher at school, Vianji Basa."

After shaking Vianji's hand, Elish patted Ocean's head, "Finally you have a mother again."

"Hm!" Smiling ocean.

"Oh yeah, I've got to go. My clearance time is up." Elish said while wearing a jacket and using her sling bag, "Give this to your sister when she wakes up, huh?"

"Alright, be careful on the road, brother." Samudra said as she grabbed Elish's cheek and kissed her cheek, "See you."

Elish smiled, he peeked at the forehead of the Ocean, then let go of his hand and walked towards the door, before he disappeared behind the door, he paused for a moment and turned to the Sky.

"See you."
