The Destruction of Batana

FORGOTTEN 5

　

　

I've come out of my escape hole. The hole leads to a field near my house. The place was already filled with the rubble of the building. The sky was filled with small – planes passing by. Robots are attacking people. Kill them without mercy. One of the planes tried to evacuate the survivors. I was about to approach the plane

I crawled through the rubble of the building. Liana was still crying. But his voice was disguised by the screams and the booming noises that occurred. A group of armed men began to arrive. Raw blows and screams of the residents continue to spin in the middle of the atmosphere of tension. I coughed. There is a lot of dust around me. The nuances of the reddish-colored terrain make the atmosphere feel very gripping.

“Please us!” I approached the nearest soldier.

The soldier grabbed my hand and held Liana. Take me closer to the plane. Followed by some other residents.

Dear thousand dear. One of the robots is targeting the plane. The soldier who was about to take me into the plane stopped immediately and fired a bullet at the robot. Inevitably, the robot moves very fast. He damaged the plane easily. And the plane exploded. Luckily Liana and I were some distance away from the blast site.

The soldier decided to take us to another plane that had landed. The place was not touched by robots. I rushed in and the soldier handed Liana over to my lap. After accommodating twenty or more people, the plane finally took off. I can still see the citizens asking to be transported anyway. They cry in fear. But this plane is just an emergency plane that can not receive a lot of payload.

I hugged Liana who was crying loudly. His face was dirty and his hair was a mess. In some parts of his body there were scratches and bruises. My condition is much worse. On my hands and knees were enormous wounds from being toppled over while protecting Liana. Right now I'm so scared.  I had just lost Tia, I had just witnessed dozens of citizens being slaughtered before my eyes, and I had just come face to face with a robot that had a pair of bright red eyes. A robot I know very well, a robot that Mom once showed me. Border Guard Robot or can be called as RP-2. Of course, all of that is traumatizing me. And I was faced with a greater fear, I was afraid of losing both my parents.

After half an hour passed quickly, we arrived at a refugee camp. A giant half-ball-shaped building with steel walls surrounding it. Various sirens and loudspeakers were heard loud interlinking. The plane landed in a large field. The atmosphere of the refuge looks bleak. However, this place is illuminated with bright lights. We rushed down. Liana no longer whined.

We were all directed to the evacuation building. We were ordered to march to check our identities. This serves to know all the information about the family that is related to us. This will help the soldiers find a list of missing victims.

For those who need emergency treatment due to fatal injuries from the attack of the robots, will get special care. Those with minor injuries will only get first aid. I can see a lot of medics back and forth. Bringing the dying victims. I hugged Liana tightly. Horrified looking at the bloodied victims.

It was my turn and Liana's turn for identity checks. A soldier pointed a box-shaped device with a greenish-colored screen towards my face. The screen then turns into a holographic projection. It shows who my parents are and my relatives are. The soldier exclaimed in surprise.

“Gosh! You're the son of Batrice Clue?” The soldier asked half in disbelief.

I nodded softly. The soldier took us out of line. Take us inside the shelter. I shuddered in horror at the people sitting on the floor of the room with cuts and bruises on their faces. The others leaned against the wall of the room while cowering in fear. Not infrequently there are sobbing crying. At least they all do not need to wear masks in this room, because this room is equipped with air recycling tools.

The soldier took me upstairs looking more awake. There are several children and adults on this floor. It's just that they all look like important people. The soldier then led me to one of the white rooms with a padded mattress hanging on the wall.

“Please wait here, I'll contact your parents soon.”

“Are my parents here?” I asked lirih.

The soldier brushed my hair. “Just calm down, we will bring him here safely. In the meantime you should receive treatment.”

The soldier shuffled and left us both. Shortly after, a nurse entered the room.

After treatment, we received food. I'm so not feeling good right now. After experiencing such an event, who has an appetite. Right now I just want to cry. But if I cry, Liana will be disturbed. She was sleeping because of the side effects of the medication. Actually the nurse also gave me medicine, but it did not make me sleepy at all. That horrible memory is stronger than the effect of the drug.

After waiting for about an hour, the door of the room finally opened. I'm looking. I wonder who is in the room. Holy hooch! They are Mom and Dad! The two of them rushed to hug me and carried the sleeping Liana. The four of us hugged each other in tears.

“Lian, forgive Mom. Forgive me for leaving you in the middle of this situation.” Mom sobbed and hugged us very tightly. To the point of making Liana wake up.

“We promise never to leave you two.” Father added in his tears.

I cried out in a loud voice. Spilling all the feelings I've been through.

“Mother, Tia, Tia..” I'm choked.

Mother gently rubbed my hair. “It's okay, Lian. You don't have to tell it.”

Now Mom is holding my shoulder. “Lian, I have something to tell you. We must hurry away from this place.”

“Where are we going?” I wiped the end of my eyes.

“We will go very far from this place.”

“Then what about the others? Will the other refugees also go very far like us?”

Mom smiled gently. “Currently the most important thing for Mom is to take you two to the safest place.”

“Does Mother make the robots rise?”

Mom fell silent. The look on his face changed. The room was silent for a moment, leaving sirens out there. Mom then told Dad to leave us both.

“Lian, I know you're very scared right now. But..”

“If Mom denies it, that means everything I say is true, right? Mother who resurrected the Border Guard Robot.”

“You're right. But Mom did it by force.”

“If Mom can resurrect her, why don't you try to turn them back on?” My tears are back.

Mom lowered. “Im sorry Mom, Lian.”

She started to stand up and put her hand towards me. Mom's face immediately turned serious. I took a few steps back. Mom's face looks cold. At first glance Mother exuded an ominous aura.

“Mother, Mother why?” I sobbed.
