Zombie Resistance: The Eagle Team
New Mission, New Member 17-2
“HAH?!” everyone in the room responds simultaneously.
“Wait a minute what does the Captain mean by coming?” ask Mei.
“Starting today I will be a member of Team Eagle” replied Captain Rin casually “You don't mind right? Revelation?”
Revelation thought for a moment before replying to Captain Rin casually.
“Sure, I have no reason to reject it” replied Revelation.
“What do you mean by that huh?!” Mei yells and holds the collar of Revelation “Are you not aware of what happens if the Captain comes with you?!” Mei is upset, confused, and angered by Captain Rin's and Revelation's carefree speech.
“Quite May, release her” tell Captain Rin. Unable to refute Captain Rin's orders, Mei releases Revelation.
“Wait a minute Rin, are you sure you will come with us?” ask Dani to make sure.
“I'm sure” replied Captain Rin “Can I not?”
“Not allowed but” Dani couldn't finish his sentence because he couldn't think of an answer to Captain Rin's question.
“After all, we just got married, I still want to spend time with you” Captain Rin told Dani. Seeing the seriousness of Captain Rin, Dani as his partner could not resist his wishes.
“OK quite” said Wahyu while clapping his hands once and making a loud noise and attracting the attention of everyone who was there.
“The words of Captain Rin must make everyone confused, so why don't we calm the head for a moment, after that we just talk again okay” said Wahyu proposed his idea. Although Revelation also makes the situation more confusing, but the proposal was immediately accepted by all. After that everyone in Captain Rin's room began to sit down and process things calmly.
“Wahyu” call May. Listening to someone calling out to him, the Revelation immediately turned towards May.
“What's up?” ask Revelation.
“Follow me” pinta May with a slightly pushy tone.
Apocalypse and May then exit the room and go to Mei's room which is located close to Captain Rin's room.
“So what's up?” ask Revelation.
“This is all your plan, right?” mei said accusing Revelation of planning everything.
“You mean?” ask the confused Revelation.
“Do not pretend not to know!” answer Mei annoyed “That match, the fight against Butcher, the feelings of the Captain to Dani, and their marriage, all that you have planned right?!” May cornered Revelation to the wall and looked at Revelation with a face full of emotion. Looking at the unstable Mei, Revelation could only sigh.
“You want me to answer what?” ask Revelation casually.
“What do you mean?!” reply May.
“What answer do you want to calm you down?” ask Revelation now with a serious face.
“A-I just want to know what really happened” replied May.
“Is that all?” ask Revelation again. Seeing the Apocalypse looking at her with a serious face made Mei a little afraid. Seeing Mei becoming increasingly unstable, Revelation holds the Shoal of May.
“You are not this kind of person, calm yourself” said Revelation who gradually pressed May's shoulders down until she finally sat on the floor. After sitting down, Mei began to realize what she had just done.
“I can answer all your questions, but you should know which one you want to know the most, said Revelation sitting in front of May.
“I just want to know” said May limp “Everything is too sudden, why no one told me first” Mei started to let go of all her thoughts “Captain Rin used to be a firm, logical person, and cool, but after the fight against Butcher, the Captain looks changed”
Revelation listened to Mei seriously.
“She looks more relaxed and considerate to her subordinates” Mei goes on to pour out her thoughts “Not that I don't like, but, but inside me I felt that Captain Rin was starting to stay away” Mei paused for a moment “I and Captain have become inseparable ever since Captain received his post, he said, but I always felt that I could only see his back, without being able to feel proud to walk by his side and now when I hear he wants to leave, I don't want to accept it”
“Isn't that great” said Wahyu.
“What do you mean?” ask Mei annoyed.
“That means you start to realize your position” replied Revelation.
“So you think I can't be on par with Captain?” Mei was getting upset again.
“So you also think I'm weak?!” shouted Mei angry.
Revelation did not answer and simply stared at May.
“Why do you see me like that?” ask Mei limp.
“You already know the answer, but if you want me to answer it” Revelation stops the sentence waiting for a response from May, but because there is no response, Revelation considers it as the answer yes.
“You are not fit to be under Captain Rin”, Wahyu said. Hearing that made Mei flinch. Memories of the times that Mei, Ryu, and Captain Rin were together seemed like a waste to Mei, negative thoughts began to fill May's head, but a jolt that Mei felt on her shoulder made Mei come to her senses and look towards Revelation again.
“Then, where should I be?” ask Mei limp.
“It is not appropriate that you are under Captain Rin” said Revelations again “Because of your current ability is enough to surpass Captain Rin”
Hearing the revelation made Mei once again confused.
“Looks like you didn't realize it, let me explain” Revelation started talking “Do you never realize why Captain Rin always calls you to accompany him and not Ryu or anyone else?” ask Revelation. May began to recall and only realized the revelation was true.
“Captain Rin did that because he realized your potential” Revelation began to explain “Di when you locked Dani, when you decided to give victory to me, he said, when you saved me from the Butcher attack without orders from Captain Rin, and also your willingness helped your Captain to understand the new feelings he was feeling, she said, all of that makes you grow into a much better leader than Captain Rin”
Hearing all the revelations made May recall what had happened a few weeks ago and begin to calm herself down.
“And also every time we do a mission together, I myself also understand your potential” said Wahyu once again holding the shoulder of May “May, your place is not in the shadow of Captain Rin, but in front of him, Captain Rin must have realized it too and already planned to make you his successor, but due to the traditions of this country, he can't just make you Captain”
The words that Revelation spoke immediately made Mei realize that lately Captain Rin often discussed if he wanted to give up his position and look for a suitable replacement, he said, Mei always answers with the answer that Captain Rin is a Captain that is not replaced by others, but finally Mei realized that Captain Rin wants to make Mei as his successor.
“So all this time I didn't realize it?” said May “No, instead of me not realizing it, I just don't want to be separated from Captain Rin”
Seeing Mei already realize the answer to her own question makes Revelation a relief.
“Then I will answer your first question earlier” Revelation stands from its seat “Captain Rin decides to follow Team Eagle to Japan, is that clear?”
Mei took a breath and stood up from her seat.
“Yes, if the Captain does want it, I will support him” Mei replied with a smile.
“Good then” said Revelation relieved “Then let's go back, everything may have been waiting for us”
“Iya” replied May “But you know, you don't have to be that cruel to help me know”
“Ma’af, I am not an expert to calm the feelings of women” replied Revelation.
“One more question” pinta May.
“Ask any” reply Revelation.
“You realized it, didn't you?” ask May “My feelings for you?”
The Revelation fell silent and did not answer May's question. Seeing the reaction of Revelation is enough to answer May's question.
“Already expected, meaning you also know about Blue also” said Mei insinuated Revelation. May walks ahead of Revelation to see her face.
“You must have your own reasons, as well as my problems, you also have your own problems” Mei said as she looked into the eyes of Revelation with a smile “Don't worry, unlike the Captain, he said, I won't force you to answer or anything, but I want to say if you need people to listen to your problems, I'll help you and keep it a secret for you”
“Thank you” said Wahyu.
“But!” said Mei loudly “I still won't give up You know, you probably have a lot of things to finish and you don't have time for things like this, so I'll be waiting for you, until the time comes, I want you not to die first okay” said Mei while giving a smile to Revelation “And also” Mei took something from her room table and approached Revelation “Jaga this for me, let's just say this is a symbol of our agreement” May pairing an eagle-shaped pin that has wings with bullet-shaped feathers.
“What agreement?” ask Revelation while looking at the pin that Mei just put on the right chest of her shirt.
“Treaty about you not to die before answering my feelings and for me who must fulfill my duty to keep this country and also the survivor of your country safe until you return to this country again” reply May.
Revelation smiles “Your request sounds very forcing”, Wahyu quipped.
“It was a punishment for people who like to make women misunderstand” replied Mei with a small laugh “Come, I was ready to take my next task” said Mei who then left her room.
“Why do I always engage with people who like themselves” said Wahyu complaining, but a smile appeared on his face “Already, there is more important thing to do” Revelation then follow Mei and return to Captain Rin's room.
