Warrior Terminator

Reunions

“Ke direction here.”

Sendi instruct them. He took his friends running through the trees in the darkness of the night. The place he was referring to turned out to be an underground cavern. The cave was behind a large rock so it was quite hidden. If not observant, it is difficult to find it.

“Log in here,” say Sendi.

“Is it safe?” Alpha looks hesitant. He glanced into the dark cave.

“This place is not dangerous. I have used it before to hide the people who have strayed into this region. Inside there is much better because the smell from the Darkotry region does not get there. Trust.”

“Alright, then.”

Since the mouth of the cave was not large, they were only able to enter alternately. The stones in the mouth of the cave are sharp and slippery, one step only then it will slip. However, as soon as they stepped further into the room it got wider and ramps. The stone floor is fairly flat, not slippery, or sharp rocky.

Joa forms a ball of light to illuminate them. No one said anything after that. They all sat down while calming down. The night was late, their bodies were tired, and they were too sleepy to talk lightly. It was only through their eyes that they agreed that whatever they had to explain could be done tomorrow morning, that the main thing to do right then and there was to sleep and reassemble their energy.

Since the cave was an underground cavern then only a few sounds reached it. The atmosphere is very calm. They can also rest their bodies in peace. Sleep them soundly. Although they cannot say they have beautiful dreams, but this is the first time they sleep without worrying after a long time.

Morning came and they were not awake. The sun slowly rose, its rays that did not enter the cave made the young men in it not immediately open their eyes. Even the sound of the footprints approaching into the cave was not heard by them so desperately asleep. The five were looked at with annoyance.

“Oi! Wake up all of you!”

The scream was loud and echoing. And of course the sound managed to wake them up in an instant. They immediately stood up with the horses ready, but when they saw who had harassed them even cringed.

“Youis!”

“Sega!”

Youis smiled very widely. “Yo! Long time no see!”

“How are you guys?” ask Sega.

“We finished fighting last night,” replied Gage.

“We know. When we entered this region we saw soldiers who were busy, we stole their talk and knew that you were in this region,”. The young man glanced at Alpha and Ursa. He was glad that both of them looked healthy from the outside. “There's something I want to ask you.”

“Eh?”

“Really too! I always think about one thing,” said Gage.

“Ah, definitely about it..” Send mumbled.

“Hm?” Joa tilted her head in a sign of not understanding.

Youis blurted out rudely, “Hoi, you two, you're the ones—”

Brukh! Sraaac!

The loud noise from the mouth of the cave made all of them flinch. They stared at the same place. I don't know why their breath stopped for a second.

“Are we caught?” Alpha's anxious.

“Let's see. It seemed like there was only one person. We can win against him,” said Joa.

They were carefully stamped. The ball of light that Joa made last night was still on, but dim, the ball of light was providing minimal illumination for them. Joa did not want to add to his description so that the light did not attract anyone who was at the mouth of the cave.

A slash!

A slash of white light attacked them. Thankfully, they crouched down so their heads were still attached to their bodies. Their breath hunted for a moment.

“Woah! Just barely!”

“That was so surprising!

“Truly unexpected..”.

“Eh?” Shocked their assault. “The voices...” He made a bright ball of light to clarify the situation in the cave. The perpetrator who turned out to be a silvery white-haired youth was flabbergasted in relief. “You!”

“Arta! It was you!” yang Youis relieved. “You surprised us.”

“And just now you really almost killed us,” said Joa fiercely.

Arta raised one hand to the chest, indicating that he was unintentionally and regretfully. His eyes then shifted to the only young man with his eccentric appearance, was Alpha. Arta suddenly stormed Alpha and pulled the young man's shirt.

“Alpha! You're the one who leaked about us?! I saw our face posters in cities!” angry angry.

“Itu—”

“It's also what I want to ask,” cut Sega.

“I also want to know,” said Sendi.

Youis nodded too. “If that were true, I'd hit you in the face.”

Joa was in disbelief. He stared at the Alpha. “I thought you were still loyal to the village!” He doesn't know about posters. All this time he was in the forest or not in the Darkotry region.

“Ya, of course still!” sergeant Alpha quickly with a shout.

“Then... why?” ask Arta sharp.

Ursa clutched Arta's hand. “Let him go first, Arta. We have reason.”

In annoyance Arta pulled his hand. He stepped back to take distance. Alpha is tidying up his shirt.

Ursa berdehem's. “We—more precisely I, have no other choice but to tell you your characteristics. They stole our talk about you. Of course I'm not willing to say it, but Alpha was the bet back then.”

Alpha shows the seal mark that encircles his neck. “This is a seal. Just by thinking about it my captain can activate it and do as he pleases with this. He activated it while interrogating us. Ursa had to tell about you guys so I wouldn't be in pain.”

“Do it hurt?” Send an anxious face asking.

“Sick once. Not only was it like being strangled, it also felt like it was burning, as if it was smeared with deadly poison, inside my neck felt like it was being pierced by needles.”

“Ouh!” Youis held her neck with a pity expression.

“But the seal only applies within a hundred meters, right? Shouldn't be a problem. You can run away anytime,” said Joa.

“So, who else is this Sir Puppis?” ask Youis.

“Tallest military commander in Earth Country,” replied Joa. “You deal with him? Damn it.”

“Indeed,” Alpha nods, “he is the one who directs the hunt for the people of Mayall.”

“That's how... we have no other choice but to divulge about you guys,” concluded Ursa.

“What do they know besides about us?” Arta's frustration had disappeared completely, he asked without anger.

“New about secret tunnels in the village, Guardian, Luxco, and also Enceladus,” Alpha replied.

“Luxco?” Sega. “How can they know about Luxco?”

“When we went to the village we accidentally met with Luxco.” Replace Ursa who answers.

“Support if only that. You guys can really hide information, huh?”

In response to the words of Joa, Ursa and Alpha, he shook his head. Both explained that it was not because of their intelligence, but because they could not clearly remember the incident of the attack on that day. They also tell about the darkness and the dazzling white light that both of them see. In addition, Ursa also told that on that day he was saved by a ramplite.

“But Joa said there was no such incident. It confused me. Even after we went to the village there was not much we could remember. And again, regarding the ramplite that saved me, I still can't remember clearly about it.” Ursa said it with half frustration.

“That time we left you because Ursa insisted on helping Alpha who slipped on the cliff. On the way we met Miss Vela, right? Miss Vela said she wanted to see you,” Youis told me.

“My book meet us?”

“Yes. I was anxious and worried, so I went back there, just then I saw the two of you and Miss Vela fighting against the ramplite. You guys are fine, so I decided to go back to the village. Did the white and black scenery you saw happen after that?”

Neither Alpha nor Ursa answered him. They were busy digging their memories, down to the deepest. Alpha even hit his head so hot. Their faces looked irritated.

“Come! Remember something!”

“What yes? Hm... I almost seem to remember something..”.

Joa grunting. “They know what we don't know, but they just forget it, totally unreliable.”

“And again they are prisoners! They are Guardians! Very funny!”

“Do not do so, Youis. That's not the position they want,” reprimand Sendi.

“Ah!”

“Oh! I remember now!” exclaims Alpha with a brilliant face. “That time mom stretched out her hand to me to get out of the abyss. After that I pulled Ursa. Suddenly ramplite strikes—”

“And the three of us fought together,” Ursa continued. “That was the first time I saw Miss Vela fighting using her power of light. Turns out he's very strong.”

“Yes. When I saw her Miss Vela did indeed seem strong when fighting, like someone experienced.”

“Of course! She is my mother!” alpha is proud. He patted his chest, but he did not get the praise. “The fight was finished quickly right, huh?”

Ursa nodded in confirming.

“After that mom talked to us, right, Ursa. Although I don't remember what he said.”

“I don't remember it either. After that my memory was cut—”

“So is with me.” Alpha said Ursa hadn't finished talking. He apologized to his best friend who glared at him irritatedly. “Sorry. Please proceed.”

“Somehow we forgot anything got there. What I remember next is that we fainted and woke up to the sound of a fight. There was a ramplite who had attained perfection against other ramplites. We do not understand and do not take a headache because we have to fight also.”

“At that time our opponents were a dozen second-tier one-ranked roplites. They're very strong. We're cornered. I remember we had to work hard against them, and at that time we were not carrying weapons, I mending because I could use the power of light, but Ursa trouble.”

“Not only trouble, I was cornered and almost defeated. When I thought I was going to die the ramplite that just now suddenly saved me. He continued to fight all the ramplites that attacked me. However, he let down, the two ramplites managed to corner me again. Not having the time to help me the ramplite pushed me down the abyss, Alpha trying to pull me away from falling into the abyss. We climbed the ravine after waking up and that's when we were discovered by the soldiers who were patrolling.”

“So...” muttered Arta, “it can be concluded that the black and white scenery you see is the moment where your memory is cut off.”

“True, Arta. After Youis told me about mom just now, I could remember, but while trying to figure out what really happened where my memory was cut off I could only remember the dazzling bright white color,” Alpha replied.

“You did too, Ursa? It's just that in your case it's a deep darkness you're witnessing.”

Ursa nodded towards Sega.

“This is weird,” muttered the teary-eyed youth. “Maybe it could be an important clue to know the attack on our village.”

“You how else. After all, that way the military also does not know anything about it, so the score is still balanced,” said Kirimi.

Joa frowned. He just thought of something. “Maybe Miss Vela knows something.”

“Oh! Right too!”

“Then we just have to ask my mom!” sergeant Alpha.

“That's your job, because you guys are experiencing it,” Arta said. “We've bothered with saving residents.”

“Also chased by soldiers because our faces have been plastered everywhere,” added Youis.

“Iya.. yes... I understand! Me and Ursa who will find out the mystery of the scenery itself,” reply Alpha Congkol.

Sendi stared at Alpha and Ursa. “Then... Alpha... Ursas. You want to run away from them and help find our villagers,” the door is soft.

“What are you saying, Send!? Of course we want.”

“We are also the Guardian. We will do our job.” Ursa. “So, tell us, what is the enemy seeking from our village?”

They're shaken.

“Even you guys still don't know?!” jolt Alpha.

“I just might know,” said Gage suddenly. It made them look at the young man from the ordinary people. Gage then took out his magic crystal necklace. “The possibility they want is this crystal.”
