The Destruction of Batana

A TRAITOR? 2

I opened my eyes that felt heavy. I just fell asleep. As a result of my meeting with Zenzen, I became a lot of drain. My hands are no longer cuffed. However, I will not be able to escape from this room. This place was clearly completely different from the room of the roof in Keios City. In this room are stored various tools. Like a trunk that every few hours checks on me. If I can get out of this place, I will only be caught by hundreds of soldiers out there. Especially Zenzen is holding my friends. They could have been hurt by my stupid actions.

I put my head against the wall of the room. I don't know how long I've been locked up in this room. I don't know how my friends are either. Are they okay? Every time I ask that question, I am always overwhelmed with guilt. If only I hadn't asked them to come with me, this story wouldn't have ended like this. No, if I had never been interested in this mission, it was possible that everyone around me would not have been hurt.

The door of the room opens. Four soldiers dressed in light brown entered the room. They all wear helmets and carry weapons.

“We ordered Zenzen to take you.”

I just stared at them. Then move from my seat. Follow where they're taking me.

They brought me into the room with an arena the size of a volleyball court in the middle. The four soldiers who had taken me away left me alone in this room. Just like in the room, this place also has a surveillance camera.

I looked at one of the cameras. I know that Zenzen was watching me there. “What are you planning?” I asked in a tinge.

Sure enough, Zenzen answered my question.

“It looks like you already know your position, huh? You didn't fight when you were taken by my soldiers.” Said Zenzen with a smoothed tone.

“Quite bases! Quickly say what you mean!”

“Alright, you are truly an impatient child. I intend to test you in this room. I can't guarantee you'll follow all my orders properly. So, I'll do some small tests for you.”

“Not by torturing my friend is enough for you to control me?”

“Hei! I told you it wasn't a guarantee. It could be that the tools inside your body are not working properly. What if the device is damaged or no longer works. Of course I have to do a test for you.”

I sighed for a moment. I had no choice but to follow all her will. Right now I have to make a plan and find the right momentum to save my friends. Oi! Wait a minute, isn't it in the footage that Zenzen showed me there's no Jora? Where the hell's he going? Did he really betray? Or Mayor Keios made a deal with Zenzen to exchange me and Jora. On condition that Zenzen does not disturb Keios City. Argha! All this confused me.

“Let's start your first test, son!” Zenzen.

Inside the room appeared various proboscis with muzzles like razor blades.

“Hei, Zenzen! Explain the intent of this test!” I looked at the camera. At first I thought that the test he gave me was just opening the gate.

Zenzen laughed cunningly. “Of course I didn't tell you just to open the gate, son. You must also be able to survive attacks or other dangerous situations. Because there is a chance that everyone will try to kill you once knowing that tool can open various gates. Take it easy, those trunks I'm only assigned to hurt you. But the pain of the cauldron of the trunks was twice that of a regular blade. So try not to get hit. Your job is not just to avoid these attacks. You should be able to arrive at the next door.”

I can only grumble in my heart. This is so shitty!

Zenzen no longer spoke. The trunks in front of me began to rustle. Sizzling like a beast. They're moving fast. Trying to stop me from approaching the door that was plastered a few meters in front of me. I started running. One of the proboscis hit me. Even in the trunk it has an additional form of wind thrower. My body was blown to its original point. Zenzen was right, the pain from the trunk was no play. I even snuggled up for a moment. Holding my shoulder that felt like it was burning.

“Oi, Zenzen! You didn't tell me these tools let out windshoots!” I looked at the camera. Silent.

I again ran through the randomly moving proboscis. Once or twice I can avoid it. But the next step I got back hit. Throwing a few meters. This time my horses are better. No longer falling down like before. One thing that bothered me was the pain that was inflicted from the sabetage. I had to wait a few minutes for the pain to disappear while avoiding the next attack.

A few minutes later I got used to the speed of the trunk. I began to be able to dodge eight to ten of their attacks. After that my body was hit again. I don't know how many scratches were on my body. From this experience I learned one thing, I would most not like it if my feet were hit by a stroke. Because it slowed my movement. The more scratches, the more pain.

Sweat began to wash over my body. Fifteen minutes have I survived the lunge of the trunks. At least I'm a little closer to the door. If my concentration were to scatter even a little, I would be hit by an attack. I need to stay focused. Until I got to the door. As soon as I touch that door, this test will be over.

I'm swerving. That door won't open. A trunk quickly hit my body. Stripped my body backwards. I could not prepare my horses. Body slumped. For the umpteenth time I growl in pain. No matter how many times I was hit, I still couldn't get used to the pain.

What the hell is going on? Why won't the door open? Is Zenzen tricking me?

“Oi! What the fuck? you can't open the door?” Zenzen's voice was heard again. “Then this could be your friend in danger, Nak.”

“DIAMOND YOU, ZENZEN! YOU'RE JUST INTERFERING WITH MY CONCENTRATION!”

“Then I need proof, son. Not a piece of shit you threw.”

Damnit damnit! I was really upset by all of his words. I must recall how I opened the door when I was locked inside the room of Keios City.

At that time I wanted to get out of the room because I wanted to meet Liana. Does the determination that triggered the tools inside my body work? Then what is my determination at this time? Ah, I have to save my friends.

I ran back while avoiding the trunks. And quickly touched the door.

“I will definitely save my friends!” I screamed in my heart.

A bluish glow shimmered across the wall. And the door was open. I rushed to the door. But I was struck by an anesthetic stuck right in my back. I fell bedebam. Within seconds, my consciousness was gone.

I'mawakened. I was in the room. The surprise attack really pissed me off. My head hit me really hard when I fell down earlier, leaving a bruise on my forehead. I stared at the surveillance camera while holding my head. Rubbing my bruised forehead.

“Hahahaha! You must be surprised, right?” The annoying Zenzen voice came back to fill the room. “Not that I told you you should be ready to face any conditions? What if you get the same surprise?” Zenzen laughed again.

I clenched both my hands. Actually, I've been holding back my emotions.

“Well, can I say you passed the test earlier. But not perfect. You better get ready to go to the next test. So for now I'll let you rest while eating the food I've prepared.”

Floor of the room is open. A loaf of bread and drinking water were presented right in front of me. I complained. How can I eat in such a shitty condition.

“Hei! Don't put on a sour face like that, son!” Zenzen commented.

I looked at the surveillance camera. “Zenzen! Make sure my friends get the same food as me!”

“Look! Now you dare to rule me? You really grew up to be a disrespectful kid. But don't worry. I know you wouldn't touch your food if I didn't show your friends the condition, right?”

In a few seconds, three holographic projections appeared before me. There was clearly the condition of the three of them. Marko was curled up in the corner of the room with a loaf of bread and water sitting next to him. Vero was staring at the surveillance camera, it seemed like he was thinking about something. He casually ate the bread that was served for him. The middle of the room stared at the door. His face looked solemn, around him was a scattering of bells. He just broke the glass.

I exhaled. Even if they get food guarantees, of course I prefer to release them.

The screen in front of me disappeared. One thing that weighed on my mind. Where is Jora? I didn't dare ask Zenzen that. A reason? I was afraid to hear Jora betray us. He's already I consider part of the team. Well, it's too late to admit it.

In the end I ate the bread that was in front of me. I knew Zenzen would never let me die. He could've done something to the others if I hadn't chewed the bread. I eat it very slowly. Remember the times when I was a temporary prisoner.

　

　

The next test begins again.

I was in the same room as when I avoided the various razor blades. I don't know, I don't know his exact name. I just wanted to give you a name. This time I did not feel any emotion. I just watch around me. Check the situation and look for the slightest gap. Because my risk of escape is very thin. Wrong act a little, the lives of my friends are at stake.

“Welcome to the next test! Before that I want to say good morning. Even if you don't know what time it is, but I just want to tell you that it's morning.” Zenzen.

I just kept quiet. Heedless of Zenzen's ridiculous voice.

“It looks like the two of us will indeed not be able to get along. I'll explain the test this time.it's good that you listen carefully. So that yesterday's events do not repeat.”

Again I just kept quiet. I was looking at the door across the room.

The floor of the room suddenly shook. Some of its tiles moved dynamically. I who initially focused on staring at the door across the room stared at the amazement of the moving tiles. I forgot my original purpose.

A robot with the height of an adult stood before me. The robot is metallic gray with eye color like RP-2. His body was as big as wearing a battle armor. Both hands clenched. I soon found out that robots are dangerous.

“This is your next test and your last test. You just need to beat my toys that you're dealing with. I call it Big Boss. You don't have to open the door, because this will just be a test of strength. I want to measure how much you are capable of. You could say I'll make you my personal bodyguard.”

You crazy psychopath! I can only hide in my heart.

“Again, I have no intention of killing you, son. So, do your best.” Zenzen said one last time.

The robot in front of me started moving. The pace is slow, unlike the RP-2 movement. I was silent for a moment. Not waiting for an attack from the robot, but I felt like I had seen the moving object somewhere.

Big Boss started to smash his fists. I quickly dodged, the robot punched the air. I quickly seized this opportunity to attack. I let go of the kick because the fist will not work on the iron-plated object. The moment my kick started hitting it, the robot suddenly reacted very quickly. He's clutching my leg. Threw me against the wall of the room.

I'm holding my chest. It felt so tight after my body hit the wall. I coughed, trying to reset my breath. Big Boss didn't let me rest. The thing hit back. I quickly rolled over and dodged the attack.

It's cheating! How could a man like me destroy this thing with my bare hands. If my opponent is a muscular human like Bundara, I still have the possibility of defeating him. But look! How do I defeat that iron thing?

I again tried to throw a kick right at his foot. My kick had no effect at all. Big Boss shook his head, just getting louder and louder to attack me. This time I got hit. My body was slammed a few meters. I held my stomach. Snuggling up with pain. This is more terrifying than the previous tests. My body refused to move.

Am I scared?

I stood back up. My body is shaking violently. I try to take a deep breath. Trying to calm down. As soon as I was ready, I quickly ran towards the robot. Maybe by running I will get more power to destroy the robot.

My efforts again ended in vain. Big Boss seemed to be able to read my every move. The robot is evading. My fist is about empty air. I turned around and took a kick to his head. Big Boss tried to catch my leg. But I first changed the movement. My hands are looking for the stomach. I screamed as loud as possible. I wish my punch had an impact on the robot.

The robot kicked me fast. My body hit the wall again. My head hit me very hard. I lay helpless on the floor of the room. My ears were ringing and my eyes were twitching. The robot is not moving. It seems that he was ordered not to attack me when I was in a weak state.

“Stand!” Zenzen's orders.

I bite my lips. It's like torture. Then Zenzen said he wouldn't kill me. But if this continues...

“I said stand!” Zenzen shouted louder.

My hands and feet are shaking. Fear has taken me. I feel like I've met the robot armour somewhere. I don't know, but my body seems to recognize it.

“I have no choice, Son!” Zenzen displayed three holographic screens in the room.

I know if that screen shows my three friends. The three of them returned cuffed. In front of them was a trunk covered with electricity. My eyes feel spicy. While my whole body was in pain.

I got back up. I'm really very scared. Sweat drenched down my forehead. My hands and feet are cold. Zenzen kept yelling at me. I clenched my jaw. All this suffering won't end if I don't kill Zenzen.

My body feels heavy. It was painful when I was faced with a situation where the lives of those closest to me were threatened. If I were to die, maybe everyone would live happily.

“Lian, this is Mom's last message. Only you can save the world. Keep that in mind! ”

“All of us will never be free from this if RP-2 is not immediately destroyed.”

At times like this I remember the words of Mom and Jora. Without realizing it, my tears were already dripping down my cheeks. If only, if only I really had the strength to save the world, why would I be this weak?

“Next function as power. I heard about this, Lian. Where you hit one of the soldiers and made him bounce off a few meters. I was even made to laugh with his bruised face. This tool manipulates your muscles. Makes it tens of times stronger than ordinary humans. The result is that you have powers beyond human reason. Makes you a super hero.”

As soon as I remembered Ruzdora's words, my strength returned. That power feels so great. Flowing through every body. I wiped my tears. Jora and Mom are right! Only I can save mankind from misery. None of this will end if all the robots are wiped off the face of the earth. And I will definitely kill Zenzen with my own hands.

I put up my horses. Concentrate fully. I close my eyes and catch my breath. Rounding off my resolve and controlling the immense power I felt at this moment. The wind was heard all around me. I opened my eyes. Quickly aimed a fist at Big Boss.

I feel like I'm moving faster than ever. Even at this speed I seemed to watch the robot move very slowly. Like looking at a slow-motion recording. I concentrated all the power right in my right hand. And hit my punch on Big Boss. All of this happened very quickly, in just a few seconds.

THE DUAR!

The robot was destroyed instantly. His body scattered and let out a small explosion.My body jolted and crashed a few meters away. I quickly solidified my footing.

I was still staring in disbelief at the lump of iron lying around me. This really doesn't make any sense! How could my fist destroy him? And what power did I feel just now? Right now I would love to meet with Ruzdora and tell her about this incident.

Zenzen clapped. “I already know if you can do it, Son.”

I'm sitting. My body felt limp after expelling the great power earlier. I have no interest in refuting or ignoring Zenzen's words. I'd love to rest.
