Inside the fortress of Camp Cramo, everyone’s busy with their own businesses “General! We received a report that bees are attacking citizens in New Jersey! Please send some troops…”
“Infected were seen at the vicinity of China! The media is already reaching out, they want some information regarding the monsters”
“General! 4 countries are under attack, Queen of Thraias was seen in the clouds of Ireland. We concluded that she’s the center of the aggressive actions of the monsters-”
The general is overwhelmed by the situation. The old man pondered for a moment while his background was in great chaos “Contact Smith’s team, they can handle the queen”
Suddenly, the explosion was heard and everyone knows where it came from- the sound came from their defensive unit, from the inside of the camp’s fortress “WHAT’S HAPPENING?!”
Hurriedly rushing through the person in charge, one of the soldiers announced “An unknown beast was charging through our defense! General, our platoon is now preparing for your command to attack”
“WHAT?!” the general can’t believe that this is all happening at the same time
The general is still thinking when another soldier runs through him and salutes before speaking “GENERAL! SIR! Most of Smith’s members are currently out of reach. The captain of the team is also missing but there’s no record of him leaving the camp…”
Although they are all still in order and full of respect while declaring their reports, the general can't help but feel hopeless about his situation ‘of all the times these troubles happen! It happened when Major Richardson is gone! He specialized for this kind of situation!’
Taking a step towards the fortress’ barricade, he grabs the binoculars from the soldier near him and looks at the unknown beast that they’re saying
Having a clear look at the beast, he smack the binocular at the man’s head “WHO SAID THAT WE ARE UNDER ATTACK?!” hitting one of the soldiers again, he pointed at the white-furred beast “That’s sergeant Lina Richardson’s beast! Can’t you tell?!”
Shocked, the soldiers can't believe it “but sir! Sergeant Richardson has an ice ability! She doesn’t have a… beast!” they pointed out which made the general hit them more
“Apparently, the monster Richardson also has more monsters in her wings. Calm yourselves and focus on the more urgent matter”
They are all ready to go back inside but another explosion was heard and this time, a mortar was fired
In range, the general grabs the walkie-talkie and commands the others “CEASE FIRE!”
He looked at his binoculars to assess the victim’s situation “blood… that’s strange, heavenly beasts don’t bleed”
Asserting the situation more, his eyes grow big “FUCK! A PERSON! SOMEONE’S RIDING THE BEAST! YOU JUST SHOOT A PERSON!” he then orders to send a med person
“If this issue goes out, it’s not my fault. Find the one who shoots that bullet and bring him to me. For now, if those people arrive- heal them… if it can’t be healed, you know what to do”
On the Houl’s company, another place field of chaotic people and stressful problems “ALPHA!” Alfonso calls their leader as if it’s his last thread in life. Shaking his head, Igneel knows that another problem will be reported
“The last chopper that we deployed were destroyed…” he stop when he realized that his leader isn’t listening “Dionelle Martin, Christian, and her sister is in that chopper… sir”
Igneel heard the sarcasm in his subordinate’s tone, with irritating eyes, he look at him and said “They’re with the demons. The psychotic one won’t let his entertaining pawns die, also, the demon who ate the core is there… they are still alive”
Looking for a specific document, Igneel proves how busy he is with all the piles of paper in his office “We need to secure this country first… you saw the children’s live video right? I don’t know what gotten on their mind but if this situation grows more- everyone will blame us”
Another person rushes into the room with a phone in his hand “Sir! Captain Smith is on the other line, he’s asking for our current situation”
Confused, Igneel snatch the phone and listen to the other line “We sent Sherry’s divine beast. You can command it to help or anything but we need you and your whole company to shut your mouth. We will not extend our hands if…” without further more greetings, Smith jump to the main topic
Igneel fell in great confusion, he looked at Alfonso and muttered “Is there any divine beast? What divine beast?” Alfonso blinked twice before shrugging his shoulders
Looking outside, Igneel waits for the arrival of the beast while Smith is still talking from the other line “Our negotiation will end once you… WHAT?!” the other line was filled with strange noise and shouting
Igneel doesn’t care, he still watched the entrance and command the other employees to watch over the other doors of the building… a moment has passed and there’s still no one
A cough was heard on the other line and Igneel realized that he didn’t end the call “uh… there’s changes in circumstances”
The CEO is still watching the outside vicinity of the company’s building. He’s itching to ask what kind of divine beast he’s saying about or if he can give a description what the beast looks likes
“The beast is here, we are currently tending the injured one. Be at ease, they’re under our care for now…”
Igneel heard the other line it felt like a prick in his heart was gone now
He abruptly put the communicating device down and run through Jeniel and Ren’s room “They are safe! Your master is safe, your friends are safe!” merry news was heard
But to their expectation, they are far from being safe
“AAGGHHH!!!”
From the moment she woke up, Lina was already shouting “ABwaaa aghh… AHH!” sweats run down her face and all of them doesn’t know what to do
A knock was heard from the room’s door and no one wants to entertain it right now
“Sis… what’s wrong? Some, something hurt? Where?”
Christian left his sister to find some water and a towel, his sister is burning!
But when he came back, he saw a gruesome scene “What are you doing?! Please…” his tears fall down like a waterfall seeing Lina lose her mind- gripping Nathan’s throat
“Mister… please don’t hurt her” the little child begged, he saw the new soldiers restraining Lina’s movements
But Christian noticed something weird they were doing “Where… where are you taking my sister?! Put her down! Put her down!”
The soldiers didn’t move an inch toward the bawling child, they need to follow the Major’s command before anything else “Mister! They’re separating sister from us! Do something!”
He looked at the ragged man to only see the indifference in his face
“Won’t… won’t you do something?”
Nathan shrug and Christian's hopes are shattered. The child jumped at the large man resulting in them to fell hard to the ground, his tears fell on Nathan’s face and what made him disgusted is the fluid from the boy’s nose is also falling
Nathan gulp
“They know what to do. Your uncle is already here, he’ll help her”
Like what Nathan said, Captain Smith is already on the stand- waiting for their time to be questioned for disobeying higher ups’ orders
“Sir… are they alright?” Sherry, who is more nervous than anyone else in the whole room, asked while petting the small divine beast bunny in her hands “I didn’t know that the divine beast would come here”
Smith pats her back and consoles the gloomy girl “you’re unconscious the whole time, we did not expect it all”
Sighing, Sherry look at the bunny “If only I was stronger, I’ll withstand them being far from me”
She’s talking about the divine beasts, they can't be far from her- it will get a great toll on her health if she does that again. Worrying, the rabbit can't afford to lose her master despite the specific command- the beast choose her master even though she’ll face a great consequence for disobeying her master
And now, the rabbit shrunk to a little, cute and fluffy white bunny!
They stand straight when they saw a higher rank walking towards them, with chin held high- they salute
The soldier passed through them and that’s when they breath peacefully “damn, I thought he’s the one who’ll educate us” Sherry giggled when she heard the Captain’s murmurs
Not long after, Sherry was taken aback when she saw her body- being carried by her comrades, she doesn’t know what to react
Smith also saw the body’s face “Seems familiar” he whispered and when she saw the girl beside him, holding back her tears… Smith already know who it is
But they can’t do anything
If they do more unnecessary things… no one knows what will happen
They bring the resisting Lina to one of the rooms- not far from where they’re standing
“That’s… me?”
Sherry can't help but wonder. Her face changed so much! Her face was filled with bruises and cuts
“No… that’s not me” she tells herself when she remembers the scary and bloody eyes from the familiar face “yeah, it’s not me”
