Pride of Indonesia's

POI 53 - No Big Sacrifice

"We won't survive!"

"Retreat! Back off!"

The entire Indonesian army began to keep their distance, trying to escape as the Dutch troops continued to grow in number. Aditya continues to use the gun to shoot dead some Dutch he sees until the bullet from the gun is exhausted, his main goal is to survive and recover the wounded Satria.

"Aaggggh....!" Satria screamed in pain.

"Stay with me, mate..." Aditya said, he managed to bring Satria to a place that is more of a big tree.

Fortunately other Indonesian forces advanced to hold all the Dutch to avoid approaching the village where there were some residents who were sheltering and frightened, the Dutch troops would never surrender until they managed to clear all the Indonesians they saw.

"Satria...!"

Aditya looked around and he saw some Indonesian troops who were sheltering because the Dutch troops had more deadly and sophisticated weapons even the shelter would not be able to last long, they had no choice but to flee and seek a safer place with all the innocent citizens.

"Satria...!"

"Adity... Hear... Listen to me. You have to take the whole army, especially the villagers to a safer place... quite ready..." Satria said that because he knew he would not be able to survive, soon he would run out of blood because no one would want to bandage the wound.

"No. We can still survive, Satria! Comeon!"

"You have to. You have to back off...!"

"No, I won't back down until you're safe." Aditya tries his best to recover Satria's wounds by covering up the gunshot wounds using the leaves he collected.

"Just be free, Raden Aditya! If...you do not retreat then the struggle you will do will end, you can still continue...! The tea mane can!!!" Satria exclaimed, seeing her who continued to force Aditya to retreat made herself have no other choice because it was her own choice.

"Go...! Geowat! I'll be fine, Raden..." 

"Remember this homeland..all the struggles.all the plans we have devised since then.all the lessons and exercises I have given you..."

"There is no great sacrifice. Now you go. You fight for this country.. See you later.. Take care of yourself, Raden Aditya Loka!" Hearing Satria say Raden made Aditya's heart touched, this was the first time he could feel the meaning of the grief so Satria began to ask the entire army to retreat.

Some people begin to pull Aditya back and take himself away, Aditya still cannot accept because he does not want to retreat until Satria recovers and wants to come with him but it is too late.

"You cannot do this...! He can still survive...!"

"This is an order, Raden! Raden Satria is trying to contain all those enemies so we can escape!"

"No! No...!!!"

Satria saw the entire Indonesian army retreat, just saw it make himself smile proudly that Indonesia still has hope to gain independence. Satria quickly picked up the rifle and came out from behind the tree to kill all the Dutch troops he saw, despite not having a chance to win.

Satria was only able to hold out for one minute because a Dutch soldier managed to guess his right arm, making Satria no longer able to hold the rifle and another Dutch soldier began to approach and shot Satria in the chest until he fell on the ground with his life gone.

"No!"

***

"Huh...!!! Huh...!!! Huh...!!!" Aditya had just woken up from such a long dream, the content of the dream was his life in the original world, he said, before he entered into a world filled with something that felt fantastic because it contained Mana now.

Seeing Aditya who woke up scared like that, filled with sweat made Daisy and Henzie who slept next to him also wake up because Aditya's movements are quite rough.

"Aditya... Are you okay?" Daisy grabs her right hand, trying to calm herself down until Aditya calms back down when she sees Daisy and Henzie, who are both in the middle of the night, all the dreams he saw were real even he did not want to feel anymore the meaning of the war that felt like hell.

"I'm fine.just a nightmare..."

"You trained too hard last night, so your mind gave you a bad dream." Henzie said, carrying a glass filled with water, he gave it to Aditya and he drank it straight away, only the calmness he could feel inside him when drinking the water.

"Thank you. I'm sorry to worry you." Aditya starts giving them a kiss on the cheek until it makes them blush, Daisy then invites Aditya with Henzie to go back to sleep because it is still three o'clock in the night.

A few minutes later, Aditya was unable to close his eyes due to one thought that continued to disturb him: disbelief, if he was able to see the nightmare it means he was actually given a chance to live in the same world but only one that distinguishes Mana.

Many things had happened since he came back alive, he could not express them with words even all the memories in the original world he could still remember, he could not express them, he and Satria could not see Indonesian independence that occurred in the real world but this world but knowing even saw it was good enough.

"Where.... yeah...? The wars between nations are all really difficult.it is harder than fighting the invaders." Aditya said as he stared at the two sites filled with light blue lines.

"It's been a month since the fight that's been going on since I fought a masked gang called Ajax, two things that upset me. Mysterious shootings and gangs running around, all of that keeps growing because of the strange symptoms that occur."

"That strange symptom comes from the rain that keeps coming, it releases some light blue particles that enter the human body, giving them different Mana abilities... the rain was arguably different because a scientist once told Andrian..."

"...the rain is a rain of Mana energy that will occur for one week in each month, with the number of Humans who managed to get Mana then the threat will definitely increase more troublesome. I can only hope that this era of mysterious shootings can end as soon as possible..."

"Mana is a source of energy that cannot be underestimated because Mana itself provides a variety of different strengths based on the characteristics and attitudes of the person, the abilities obtained are different and can be said to be mysterious." 

Aditya continued to say that in his heart, trying not to think about it as he was sure that some of the Indonesian residents who were exposed to the Mana rain would definitely be fine with the Mana ability they got, he said, he could only hope that General Wahyudi did nothing to them.

Aditya has been informed that Wahyudi kidnapped several men who possessed the Mana ability to create a large military force, the mysterious shooting he did can also make him feel happy because he could see all the abilities of the greatest warrior he had just obtained.

"General Wahyudi... General like himself must be exterminated quickly before it's too late, I don't know what he's thinking but..."

"...i should be able to stop him as soon as possible."

***

"Bos, nih, the results of the palm earlier, a lot of money that I got loh." A man who had a tattoo bearing a flame began to approach a terrifying bald man, a bunch of thugs were already everywhere because the Mana ability they had could help them to extort the citizens' money by threatening him.

"A meal, with all the money we get from the citizens.we can have a nice drink!" 

Geck! Geck! Geck!

"Bakso! Meatballs! Mas, want the meatballs, mas?" It was seen that a merchant carrying a meatball cart began to approach the small headquarters of the thugs, seeing a sword that knew the headquarters upset the boss of the thugs.

"Nights like this are still selling meatballs, who's buying them, huh!? Money, money, money!" The thug boss tried to blackmail the merchant.

"Don't, mas... This money for the mas family, later I eat the same what dong?"

"Bodo very! The money! The money! The money! Where's money!?" The thug pulled out a knife that flowed Mana, quickly the merchant began to panic and then took out all the money he had.

"Here, mas.just this much I have."

"That's the reason!" The thug began to take all the money owned by the merchant, all the money saved by the merchant was successfully taken by the thug and he immediately showed it to all his friends.

"Look! We get a lot more money, can the message drink ba--" the thug widened his eyes when he saw all his subordinates were tainted with their own blood, one of their limbs disappeared even he could see his close friend had no head.

All the bodies were in the darkness and at first he could not see it clearly, he realized when he saw the puddles that were visible due to the light from the street lights.

"W-What...!? P-Killer...! There's killers!!!" the thug exclaimed loudly, he began to flee to safety and the merchant could only remain silent and followed behind him.

The thug got into a safer place, a very safe base and was only used for emergencies. The room was so dark, he tried to turn on the lights but both of his arms were gone without him noticing.

"A-Aaahhhhhh!? Arm...!!! The arm-" of the two thugs' legs also disappeared, making himself fall and be startled with all the blood coming out of his entire limbs that just disappeared.

"Sakitt....!!!! Sick....!!! Ahhhhh...!!!" 

"Maxon mas~" The merchant who approached the thug with a candle he held to illuminate the room, the thug started to get scared when he saw the merchant because he realized that a mysterious shooting operation lately was carried out by releasing street vendors.

"Don't... You're not an ordinary merchant...!? Someone who had the operation, right!? What did you do to me...!? You also have powers like this black magic...!? These blue stripes...!?"

"Only ordinary traders sell meatballs really..."

"Don't...!!! The mastermind of her murder is-" Half the thug's body just disappeared.

"Well, no one wants to order meatballs like that..."

"...It's so bad."
