The Core of Evil
The panic of the Venia
{{{ Next Day }}}
{{{ Arcadia main headquarters, Venia meeting room }}}
*TAM!!*
"HE WHAT???!!"
"Bab, Joan Venia. And stop hitting the table until it makes that nasty noise"
10 People. They are the strongest group of personnel in the Arcadia Fleet.10 people who lead the fate of all life in the universe towards the light they crave. A light that looks impossible for everyone to reach
10 People who have 10 different minds, but act under one of their leaders sitting among them
And all eyes were on the man, even though they were arguing with each other, especially with Amitha who could not keep the O-2507 test subjects from their grasp
"He is the Maledict of Corruption!! You hear that Amitha??! Maledicts. Of. The corruption!!" Venia, who was named as Joan, said that the hologram of her looks began to fall apart
"Listen, I know that he's dangerous and so on and so forth. And you got the answer to my first sentence, didn't you?" Amitha retorted, making Joan back in a fit of annoyance
"But, simply letting go of the creature was a mistake, Amitha, Vanir" a man commented
He arranged the round sunglasses to show his red eyes to everyone, especially Amitha. His black hair that began to fall down even he had to rearrange so as not to stab his eyes
"Nobody wants to hear your opinion, Beryl. Go back to your cheap shop and hang yourself there" Someone else replied to the person who had just spoken
Someone who looks very upset because of everything that has just happened, so his head feels like he wants to split in two because of his student who disappeared suddenly
"Jun~! Friends~! Your words are still rude as usual hm~?" The man named Beryl returned
"You called the boy a worthless creature and now you hope I'll be friendly??!" Jun turned the sentence over to Beryl in an instant
"I don't expect anything from you. And that child is indeed just a dangerous creature that I have advised to eliminate for a long time" Beryl said again
"Your morals are so disgusting...!"
"Ohoho~! Look who's talking about morals here~! Isn't your friend the one who was the main cause of the fucking Maledict??"
*TAM!*
"AMITHA AT LEAST TRIED TO HELP HER LIFE BE GOOD, UNLIKE YOU WHO ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT KILLING INNOCENT CHILDREN!!" Jun shouted loudly
"The result of the canister so-called events should not be alive, and you all know it...!" Beryl who was getting upset also said
"Jun was right, but Beryl wasn't wrong either. Our failure to escape O-2507 is due to the lack of influence that we emphasize on the child" a woman who spoke this time
With a very dashing form and short brown hair in disarray, the middle-aged woman who had a mole on her chin gave an opinion
"seen? Not even Lumia's vice-chairman refused my words?" Beryl arrogantly said to Jun
"I'm not saying I agree with what you said. I just assumed, if a situation like this happens, we should {kill him} by erasing the child's memory, not killing him directly" Venia Lumia said
Beryl clicked her tongue in annoyance, while on the other side of the room, Amitha began to sigh
"I tried to do that vice-chairman. Unfortunately, Venia personnel who managed to arrive first to area 25 are the weakest 2" Amitha explained
"I understand that. We all know very well the power and limits of the Maledict of Corruption thanks to the destruction of the universe civilization as much as 2 times in the past" Lumia replied with a huffed face
"And that's why we can't let the third one happen..."
The two people also looked glum while trying to find a solution between the silence of all those people
"There is no other way than to catch the O-2507 directly"
The opinion also attracted the two people who initially looked worried, so that the eyes of both of them pointed right to the person who suggested it
"I agree with my teacher. He was never wrong in giving an opinion" Someone who sounded younger came along
"Venia Locke. Justin Venia. You really think that messing up O-2507's liver further would bring us the results we want?" Amitha asked
Venia Loctis starts tidying up the tie. The burly man with a face shaped like a box began to re-express his opinion
"Then tell me if there's any other way than that?" He said, making Amitha silent without a fight
They know that getting me aggressive is the wrong decision, but they have no other way. Sentences will not penetrate my head or my heart at this time
"Venia Loctis is right. O-2507 must be caught immediately before his Maledict power begins to destroy the universe" The very stern-sounding person began to speak, turning all his eyes to him
The man who sat among them all, yet had such a powerful presence that whenever all eyes were on him, others would no longer be important
The leader of the Venias who always hid his face. The leader of the victorious lascars for the Astraus universe
"Chairman Gunther..." Jun muttered
He wanted to feel annoyed at the sentence of his chairman, but did not know how to fight
If there were 2 people he could not fight in verbal fights, Jun could name their chairman and Amitha. One captain was a very manipulative soldier but always gave good results, and one scientist who cared nothing more than to give results that led them to victory
...
"O-2507 is the most valuable asset in the Fleet. So, I hope that we can take it without making the Malict of Corruption loose from the child's body" Amitha said again
"Ah~! Because {That kid} isn't it, Amitha?" Beryl commented again
But, somehow, that sentence invited an annoyed face from Amitha. An annoyed face as if he was cursing Beryl to the bottom of his heart
Amitha also tried to relieve her stress by clicking and taking a breath, before looking back at Beryl
"Yes. All this I do is for {The boy}. And after I finish with the O-2507, we can get them to fight together to become the strongest OPS in history" Amitha said
"It's impossible, Amitha. I'm sure Lloyd and Hector have been-ever"
"I always make the impossible work. You know my signature line isn't it, 'friend'?" Amitha cut Jun who had not finished speaking
...
"... You even stay here despite disagreeing with me, because you also have hope that it can happen right?" Amitha attacked again, making Jun even more silent and lowered his head
"Amitha. That's enough..."
"Ariel's. Get out of the way and shut up like a good boy, or I'll have to attack you too" Amitha threatened
"But you have to understand Jun's feelings, Amitha. Also, the discussion of all of us now is not over" Ariel replied, while showing all of Venia who became silent due to the conflict between the 2 childhood friends
Amitha was silent after regaining consciousness, before letting out a sigh of fatigue
He had nothing more to say, allowing Venia Gunther to talk back
"Thus, we've all agreed to forcibly capture O-2507, haven't we?" Their leader offered their only option to everyone
"I agree" Venia Lumia said
"Me too" Venia Beryl also said
"Me and the teacher agreed" Venia Justin followed, plus a nod to Venia Loctis
"We have no other choice" Amitha agreed
"Hmph! It's up to you" Venia Joan curiously spoke
"I also have to agree..." Venia Vanir who had been silent since then began to speak
Meanwhile, only 2 people were left there who were still discussing with each other to say what
And when the decision was made, Ariel raised her hand to attract Gunther
"Me and Jun had already agreed as well. However, we hope that only we and Venia Lumia will be sent to this mission" he said
"You lunatics! If you want to eliminate that kid, I'd better go with you!"
"Venia Joan, stay where you are" Gunther cut, until Joan trembled in fear and sat down
He turned back to Ariel and asked her to explain
"Venia Lumia was the wisest and most experienced person besides the chairman himself, and we were both the 2 people who understood the most about what Azure-was thinking"
"his name. Nope. Azure" Amitha cut in, patting the table before her and staring at Ariel harshly afterwards
"All right, whatever
And for that reason, chairman Gunther, we both think that Venia Lumia, Jun and I are the most appropriate people to handle the O-2507 to bring back"
Hearing Ariel's opinion, everyone began to mutter again except for 3 people, where one of them was Gunther, who then patted his hands on the table so that the atmosphere was quiet again
"You sure you can?" Gunther said
"Yes. And also...
I want to try not to hurt my underclassman as much as we can..."
Ariel then lowered her head in anger. He remembers the faces of his two underclassmen, Jay and I
He understood what Jay would feel when he heard this news. Even Jun who was very close to his disciple was already looking stifled and fragile
He doesn't want Jay to be ruined either. And because of that, he had to bring me back safely, before Jay realized I had ever run away
"... All right" Gunther rounded up all of their voices
"This mission we're going to do today. Prepare yourself for the three of you because I have managed to track down the O-2507, based on the data created and sent by this Amitha" Gunther said again, while sharing the digital information made by Amitha with others to see
"I'm very grateful, Chairman Gunther. I will definitely pay for your kindness someday" Jun said, in a grateful tone
"Then return safe. That's all I want from you all"
Jun only scratched his head from feeling bad, before faintly nodding
Everyone was ready to go to take care of their own affairs, and in that way, a sentence from Gunther was uttered to officially close the meeting
"2018 Terra Empyrea, June 27. This emergency meeting ended with the decision, that the mission to capture and bring back the O-2507 will be implemented
And that way, this meeting will also be officially closed. May luck be on our side"
*beep!*
{{{ On other side }}}
"!!!"
"Captain? Getting something interesting from spying on the Venia?"
...
"That's it, Mind. Very interesting, actually"
Mind smiled at the captain's words, and began to sit in front of a control monitor as he began to type
"Give us orders, captain" Mind said, making their captain sound very happy
"Gather 4 people who will go to take O-2507 now. Tell them they must be ready to carry out their mission" their chairman said
A small siren in Fuyuki's room could also be heard, a sign that they were getting a call from their captain
The four people who had initially just sat down to play the card were on standby, as a message entered their respective phones
{ Portal will open soon. When the Venia arrive at the O-2507 area, I'll send you there }
The message was received by Noah who began to smile
"Good! We'll have a chance!" Noah exclaimed
"We need only deprive the child of the hand of injustice..." Ulysses said, as he began to act as if he were praying
"Mission will be held within 8 hours with 6 hours departure. The Venia seems to be very fast" Fuyuki commented
"I just wish Jun wasn't there..." Hector said limply, unwilling to face his old friend
Both sides are ready. And in the conflict between the two, they had only one purpose for themselves: To take myself for their own
