Wanara Project

Chaptre 61. Punakawan VS Wanara (Part 1) - Dirga and Rindra

Project Dasamuka won the first match due to the disqualification given to Project Brahma. All members of Project Brahma were seriously injured and had to be taken to a medical room for intensive care. Among the other members, Judis suffered the worst. His life was almost beyond help and he now lies helplessly in a coma.

However, the competition must continue. The next match was a battle between Project Anantareja and Dewabrata. The top two projects after Project Dasamuka.

Project Anantareja consists of Firza, Sela, Bima, Okta and Yoga with Sukma and Asmita in charge. Project Dewabrata has members Bayu, Candra, Fino, Dipta and Ganesh with Varen and Dayana in charge of the Project.

All members of the Anantaraja and Dewabrata project along with their in charge also went up to the match arena to get brief directions like before. Although they have known the technicalities of the execution of the match, the directives are still carried out as a form of formality.

But something unexpected happened. Bima, Okta and Yoga from Project Anantareja as well as Dipta and Ganesh from Project Dewabrata refused to enter the competition. The reason for the rejection they expressed turned out to be the same. They do not want to spend energy to continue the competition, because they assume that victory can be ensured in the hands of Project Dasamuka. Moreover, they do not want to face Dasamuka and end up like Brahma.

A dispute between each of the project members ensued. Firza, Sela, Bayu, Candra and Fino are disappointed with the decision taken by their partner. Sukma, Asmita, Varen and Dayana as the person in charge also ride apoplexy to members who refuse to compete. But Bima, Okta, Yoga, Dipta and Ganesh remain on his decision not to compete. Although they are afraid of the anger of the person in charge of their respective projects, but they are more afraid of being killed by Project Dasamuka as well as Brahma. Because anyone who will win in this match, must face Project Dasamuka.

Quarrels are inevitable. Each camp threw attacks each other so that the condition of the arena of the match seemed so chaotic. Indra, Lisa and Caraka smiled broadly at the mess. Grace tried to stop them.

“Stop...!” Shouted Gracefully.

“Project Anantareja and Dewabrata are disqualified for breaking the rules. You guys are so disappointing. Pandawa who became your sponsor must be very embarrassed to see this incident.” Cold bridge.

All members of Project Anantareja and Dewabrata bowed languidly. They came down from the arena with a shy face, especially Sukma, Asmita, Varen and Dayana who served as project managers. Sad, upset, embarrassed and disappointed mixed into one. At first glance they saw the disappointed gazes of Project Punakawan and Wanara. But the gaze that Caraka saw as the person in charge of Project Dasamuka was not disappointed, but rather a look that gave a look of disdain with a big smile on her face.

They saw Caraka saying something, but because of the distance and the slow sound. They could not hear what Caraka said. But they can read his lips.

“Junk.”

At once the anger of Sukma, Asmita, Varen and Dayana was turbulent and attacked Caraka together.

Caraka looks very calm. He beckoned them to look to the right side. Their eyes widened when they saw Bima and Ganesh kneeling before Indra and Lisa. They understand the situation very well. If Indra attacked Bima and Ganesh like when he attacked Judis, then the situation would become even more chaotic.

Sukma, Asmita, Varen and Dayana are cornered and cannot do much more than stop their attacks.

“Nona Anggun, Project Dasamuka conducted an attack outside the arena of the match. They should also be disqualified.” Rama.

Rama's words surprised many people, as well as giving hope to Sukma, Asmita, Varen and Dayana to be able to reply to Caraka and Project Dasamuka.

It's just that the answer Anggun gave broke their hopes, “I didn't see a single attack. Bima and Ganesh kneel by themselves.”

“Are you blind?! Obviously they kneel in fear.”

“It is different with assault.”

“Sial..!” Shouted Rama.

“Already Rama. Despite our anger, we can't do much. Gracefully look at this competition only by its rules and common sense, not by heart and feeling. Free to face such a person.” Yuna's words calmed Rama down.

“Caraka, Indra and Lisa. I'll finish them off.” Rama lirih.

“Lisa is my part.” Welcome Yuna.

“And you don't have to worry about Caraka.” Julia Sahut.

“But before that, we have to beat Punakawan.” Said Darma followed by a nod to the head of all members of the Project Wanara team.

With the disqualifications given to Project Brahma, Anantareja and Dewabrata, there are three remaining projects in the competition. Dasamuka has secured a place in the final stage due to the disqualification of Anantareja and Dewabrata. In the final match, Dasamuka will face the winner between Punakawan and Wanara.

Punakawan and Wanara had prepared for the fight. Farraz and Devi, in charge of Project Punakawan, put Rindra in the first fight followed by Saras, Bela, Wulan and Tasya. While Project Wanara will lower Dirga followed by Ayu, Yuna, Galih and Rama.

Rindra and Dirga had stood on top of the match arena.

“Take out your best ability.” Rindra.

“Of course. I won't budge just for fighting a woman.” Answer Driga.

“Are you guys ready?” Tanya Anggun followed by a nod of the heads of Rindra and Dirga.

“Start..!”

Dirga planned to make a surprise attack when the match started. This time it was him who was surprised. Rindra suddenly disappeared from view and appeared behind Dirga with such a violent punch.

Dirga crashed until almost out of the arena match. But the blow didn't hurt him. Dirga had been trained enough to deal with such an attack.

“Great.” Praise Dirga while smiling and standing up.

“Thank you for your praise.” Said Rindra who again appeared behind Dirga and sent a much harder punch. But Dirga managed to brush off the blow and moved backwards to take some distance.

“The capabilities of Rindra and Dirga are similar, but very different. Dirga relied on very high speed to give the impression of disappearing, while Rindra completely disappeared.” Julia Clearly.

“What does Rindra mean is a very great woman?” Ask Galih.

“True. She's a great woman. Rindra also has the ability type of an assassin as well as Dirga.”

“It looks like Dirga got a difficult opponent.” Galih.

“Not really. For others maybe fighting against Rindra was a mistake. But for Dirga, this match will not be too difficult. Dirga is superior in many aspects. Good thing we put the right people.”

Rindra still continues to attack from various sides. He disappeared and then appeared at Dirga's blind spot. It's just that Dirga managed to pull over and repel all attacks easily. That made Rindra a little frustrated. So far he looks superior, but he feels he cannot beat Dirga because he cannot see the gap at all to deliver a deadly, crushing attack. He felt like he was fighting someone who could look in all directions at the same time.

“Dirga advantage is in the ability of the eyes, speed and instinct. Even he can fight with his eyes closed without getting the slightest injury.” Julia.

“Currently the new Dirga shows how great the instincts he has, but Rindra already looks difficult in carrying out attacks. What do you think would happen if Dirga fought in earnest?” Reciprocity.

“I understand.” Galih. Rama smiled proudly at Julia's explanation and saw the greatness displayed by Dirga.

Rindra's attack began to weaken and not powered. Rindra who had been fending for his power began to relax the attack. On the other hand, Dirga did not look tired at all. His face still looks fresh. The physical training that he had been doing had paid off. Dirga now has incredible stamina and endurance.

“A tired already? Want to rest first?” Ask Dirga.

“Do not joke.” Reply Rindra who then disappeared and reappeared behind Dirga to then carry out the attack.

When Rindra attacked Dirga, she was so shocked when she saw Dirga who also suddenly disappeared from view then appeared behind Rindra and patted her shoulder.

“Who are you looking for?” Ask Dirga while smiling.

Rindra who was shocked again carried out the attack and again Dirga disappeared from his sight.

“It looks like this incident is not foreign.” Thought Galih who remembered his training with Dirga.

“I used to fight with a very strong woman. I fought desperately just because of my pride. But after that I thought that there was no point in doing such a fight, even more so with a woman who was not my enemy at all.” Said Dirga who reappeared behind Rindra. But Rindra did not listen to Dirga's words and instead tried to attack him relentlessly. It's just that what Rindra did was in vain. Dirga disappeared from view.

“M Surrender. You are not my enemy. I don't want to hurt you.” Said Dirga when he appeared on the left side of Rindra. Again Rindra attacked Dirga and again Dirga disappeared from Rinda's sight.

Rindra exerted all her abilities and now she who disappeared, vanished without a trace.

“Where is he? I don't feel the air of its existence at all.” Thought Dirga was confused.

Dirga was surprised when Rindra suddenly appeared before him by holding a small dagger that was unsheathed right into his eyes.

“Why stop? You can beat me with this technique. It turns out that you haven't shown all your abilities.” Dirga.

“This is a reply to your actions. Also thank you for not attacking me. Though you have a lot of chances to win this match.” Sahut Rindra's.

“But I warned you not to play me. I'm not a weak woman.” Connect Rindra.

“I never thought you were weak. I'm amazed by the ability you have.” Dirga's voice suddenly disappeared and pulled out his kerambit right on Rindra's neck from behind with a fleeting position that looks like he was embracing.

Rindra was so shocked that she was unable to move at all. But for some reason, Dirga's words made her face red.

“Basic crocodile…! You could have teased that woman while fighting.” Shouted Rama.

“If he's a crocodile, then what are you? Two great women fighting over you, right?” The words of Galih made Rama, Yuna and Julia bow down in shame.

“You've run out of energy. Next time, train your physique and stamina even harder. It's a pity if that great ability was defeated just because it ran out of stamina.” Said Dirga who then hit the nape of Rindra and made him unconscious.

The first battle of Project Punakawan and Wanara ended with the victory of Dirga from Project Wanara.

Dirga also came down from the arena while holding Rindra who was unconscious. Outside the arena, other members of Project Punakawan and medics were waiting for Rindra to be aware with misgivings.

“You don't have to worry. My punch just now won't hurt him. The main reason he lost consciousness was running out of stamina. I didn't want to hit Rindra, it's just that if I didn't, she would continue to push herself and it would have a bad impact on her own body.” Dirga.

“Thank you Dirga. You're a good man.” Devi.

Rindra who was still in Dirga's arms woke up with a shy face and shouted while unsheathing her energy dagger, “Down me. How dare you touch me.”
