The Last Era's

Act 57 [Unexpected Meeting]

DAR DAR DAR

"Arghh!", complained Okta.

"How?", asked Yuki.

"What is how? The fire just keeps exploding, ugh sucks".

Fourth day since that incident. Okta, Yuki, and Arina live in a wooden house that has been reot belonging to an unknown human. The location is on a habitable planet that has never been reached by anyone. The house is located on the edge of the beach behind which there is a wilderness.

There are rocks as big as a large hill that sticking up into the sky like a ship's chimney. There are also two moons, one of which will appear during the day and look like a second sun.

The man who owned the house, characterized by a thick beard and mustache, height, a fat body and a little bent, and looks moustache. I don't know why a man built a house so far away from the stars.

Every day Okta continued to practice to control the fire. The element just kept on exploding and making wounds on his body. While Yuki takes care of Arina who is still recovering.

"Here you go, it's a drink" Yuki said as she offered Okta a cold drink.

"Thank you".

At the same time the male owner of the house came out to look for herbs in the forest. He walked without regard to the two of them who were glued to see him.

Plus, he would be angry if someone followed him. He also spoke less and locked himself in his room more often. After he had gone far enough, Okta quietly followed him from behind.

"Hey, where are you going?"

"Stay here and don't follow me!"

"You want to be scolded again?", Yuki gave a warning.

"Shht, quiet".

The man walked through the forest. Although there were hunted animals around, the man did not even touch the rifle on his back. He kept walking straight while occasionally looking back. His strange behavior continued to be followed by Okta until he stopped in the middle of the forest.

The person then approached one of the trees pressing down on its trunk nekan like a button. Clapping his hands was like calling a bird and hugging the tree.

"Is this person still healthy?", muttered Okta with a flat face.

Unexpectedly Okta the tree trunk suddenly opened and revealed a machine inside. Next, the ground beside him sank to the ground and formed a ladder to the underground. Looked at his surroundings and then he entered the ground.

Before the land returned, Okta jumped inside and followed him from a safe distance. The stairs led to a pit like a hole in a Japanese army. Inside there is only a lamp every four meters, plus only a few are lit.

The temperature there is hot and stuffy. The deeper they walk, the hotter the temperature. The man's journey stopped in front of an iron door. He entered the door, while Octa watched it from the glass.

In it neatly arranged dozens of reactant tubes and their contents. The place was like a dark laboratory with a lot of plaque on its walls. The papers are stamped where, containing complicated writing with foreign language. Some of the contents of the paper contained images of constellations, planets, and human anatomy.

The condition of the room made Okta shudder in horror. The man took an injection containing a light green liquid. Inside was a glowing green crystal familiar to Okta, the mutant crystal.

The man then took off his shirt, looking as if his left hand was full of greenish puffiness. The hand was also the one who then injected the compound earlier. At that moment Okta realized something. He let out a small wind that fended off the injection from the person's hand.

The injection was then thrown and smashed into the wall. Suddenly a chain of flames emerged from the wall and tied Okta's hands together. Next the man walked towards Okta with his heavy steps. Okta made a strong wind to break the chain and then ran away.

The man opened the iron door and threw a fireball at Okta. The fireball exploded and Okta fell to the ground. Okta turned her body around then exerted a strong wind that pushed the person away.

The wind did not blow it away, but only made it slow down. The iron chain of fire wrapped around Okta, then pulled her towards the person.

"Do you want to come here?", he asked.

"Explain first, what place is that?"

The chain of fire was growing more and more. Okta groaned in pain, even so she kept repeating the same question.

"If you don't answer, I'll make you ashes!", he snapped with a sharp look.

Okta rolled the air until it created a wind vibe throughout the hallway. The chains of fire broke like glass. Okta flapped her hand to the chest of the person. The attack exerted tremendous wind pressure that left the person's back directly smashed with the iron door.

Okta suddenly ran towards the ladder machine while holding down the tangin due to injuries on her body. The red button on the wall pressed down. Build a ladder to surface from underground. Okta immediately ran out and flew to the sky.

Suddenly the man flew and was able to keep up with Okta's speed. His body was filled with a burning yellow flame and his mouth let out a white smoke. That guy looked more like a monster.

He then snared Okta's hands and feet. Okta's body was then tied up completely and then slammed into a tree like a cocoon. After doing that, the person changed form back to his origin. He took the needle out of his pocket and injected it into Okta. A moment later his vision became blurred and unconscious.

......\=......

"Wake up..."

"Wake up!"

Okta opened her eyes that felt heavy. Wrapped in thick cloth, Okta stared at the stars in the night sky. On the right was a small river, while on the left was the man who bent his mouth while giving him a grilled meat.

Okta sat down and tried to run. The man swiftly pulled Okta's hand and calmed her down.

"Calm down, son, you're safe here" he said casually.

Okta looked confused.

"Here, eaten!"

Okta's right hand just brushed it off violently. Pour the meat over the river rocks. It seems Okta is still angry because of the incident.

"What do you want?", he asked.

"Look at your plate" said the man.

Okta glanced at the plate. He was shocked because it was an orange fire.

"What is..."

Okta looked at his hand, realizing that his hand was also burning fire. He immediately flapped his hand at the rocks before soaking them in the water. Instead of being extinguished, the fire was getting bigger.

The fire accidentally touched his clothes which made his clothes go along with the fire. He panicked and took off his clothes. The man smiled, then held onto Okta's shoulder.

"Relax.", "Look at your hand well!",

"Imagine the fire shrinks like a match, then disappears" the person said.

Okta nodded, she reset her breathing and followed what the person said.

"Quiet.." he said continuously.

The fire shrank for a few seconds before returning to its size. This made Okta panic.

"Why?! Why?!"

"Relax" said the man, tapping his wand on Okta's head gently.

Okta's shoulders slowly came back down, followed by the fire and shrunk. Okta looked at the light in her very small hand. He tried to imagine the fire growing again. At that moment the fire became big again. Okta then again shrink it like a match.

He kept doing it until he laughed to himself. Turn it off by clenching his hands. It was clearly on his face a happy face and awe that made the person happy.

Okta looked back at her previously injured hand. His bruised and charred skin disappeared. He was also astonished to be able to control the fire without injuring his body. At that moment also the memory of the injection was passing through his head.

"What did you do to me?", asked Okta.

"Give you a protective serum".

"What serum is that?", asked Okta while taking a sitting position.

"Makes me immune to explosions".

"Not an explosion, making your body match your abilities".

The man sat beside Okta.

"Your body is very dominant to your mother's, while your fire power is decreased from your father's".

"Wait, do you know my parents?"

"Yes your mother was very kind, she was a brave and happy person to help me".

"Your fire power don't don't, ka-"

"No, I'm just your father's right hand, my firepower is just a gift from him".

"Oh.", "If I may ask...how was my father?"

"He, he's a hard and ambitious man", "He's so weird, sometimes he I find him hanging his neck on a rope".

"Why is he?" asked Okta.

"Hmm.he feels guilty for what happened to him first".

"What happened to her first?", Okta grew curious.

The person took a deep breath, then looked at Okta deeply.

"I'm sorry, Shina...",

"First, when he and your mother and other human elements included lava, the former name was Donny still together",

"He lost his best friend Afton",

"Afton sacrificed himself to protect his friends, when he was still weak, he was unable to save Afton and still continues to blame him for his death",

"Then in his teens, he quarreled with Donny who then made Donny change course",

"He is now rising up and becoming an evil monster who is our mortal enemy".

"I didn't know that my dad was messing up all this time, I'm sorry".

"It's okay, besides your father has a psychiatric disorder, he has two personalities".

"Two personalities?"

"The name is schizophrenia, a psychiatric illness that arises from deep trauma",

"The person usually has two or more personalities that have their own names and traits, the other name of this other personality is the alter ego".

"That's it.", Okta looked down embarrassed.

"Then? What about the child who possesses the power of water and lightning?"

"He. he died, his name is Sami, a cheerful boy who feels like my own sister" Okta said, wiping her tears.

"At that time the light speed of the refugee plane stopped because of the asteroid barrier",

"The plane then returns to manual mode and the mukai manoeuvres avoiding the floating space rocks",

"Unfortunately we don't expect any natives of the nearest planet to be there",

"They then attacked us for entering their territory without permission",

"Short story because of our opposing language, you got into a fight with them".

"Did you not attack them?"

"We did, but because their equipment was very sophisticated and kept calling for reinforcements",

"We were overwhelmed by the unbalanced enemy, as a result one-by-one aircraft were killed".

"The remaining aircrafts were running away from one central plane to escape through the available portal",

"Shortly my plane was hollowed out by the explosion of a missile, everything inside was drawn out including me".

"At that moment Yuki came and brought me into the portal",

"Next we moved Sami's plane, the same incident repeated to Sami, but unfortunately he was interested in space",

"If I had clutched his legs even stronger, the three of us would have escaped",

"Before he left, Sami shook his head while saying, 'why, brother?' to me",

"If only I could restore time" Okta said as she sobbed sobbing.

That guy lowered his head. He feels guilty for not seeing Sami thrown into space.

"Calm down, let's go home" said the man to appease Okta.

"Hm", Okta nodded her head.

Okta walked through the forest wiping her tears. His mind went back empty and locked his mouth during the trip.

Arriving at home they are greeted by Yuki from inside the room. He then went back to chatting with his mother who had just regained consciousness. Hearing Arina's voice, Okta immediately ran into the room.

"Auntie, is aunt okay" asked Okta.

"Yes".", he said, nodding his head.

"Thank God you are conscious, Arina" said the man as he walked towards them.

Then when the man entered the room. Arina immediately sat down and was shocked to death upon seeing that person's face.

"For a long time no see, Arina", he said seriously.

"No way.. Shina!?"

"Thank God you remember my name, do you still hate me?"

Okta suddenly gasped at their conversation. As if he could not believe it, he said,

"Wait a minute, which means you're.."

"You are..."

"My dad?!"

"I'm sorry I was forced to hide my identity, Okta".
