Monster Apocalypse

Chapter 24 : Story of the past

  Siege was feel relieved because he had been given special authority to foster and deploy all members of the Holy grail, whether under the leadership of George or Roschi. Since their leader is no longer alive, Siege now has taken rule over them, so things are even better for him. And as a business owner too, of course Siege always casn create the best strategy for the sake of his big profits. Even to be able to kill Kevin and Oliver, He had planned something bad and would hurt a lot of people.

 But Edgar himself seemed okay with that, as he already knew Siege very well, and he knew that Siege could not immediately agree with his orders. Siege is the type of person who is not easy to obey, he always gives arguments and opinions about anything, and because Siege is the only holy grail general left, this time Edgar will support Siege's plan, as long as the problems they face can be resolved quickly and smoothly. Edgar want his order to be immediately fulfilled, namely the desire to see Kevin and Oliver die.

 Meanwhile, move on to Dr. Rengga's base. Currently Dr. Rengga is checking on Kevin's bullets, and the iron armor of the monster Gorilla he brought home with. The doctor examined all the objects carefully, and he felt amazed at all of them especially this time he is seeing the iron armor of the very rare Gorilla monster.

 Then, Kevin, who was compressing a head with an ice, asked Doctor Rengga. "So, are you able to modified that iron armor so it can suitable for use by normal human size?"

 "Hmm, I guess I can ... Even though this armor can't be melted by ordinary fire, but because we have Redbud, I can use the special fire from Redbud to process this armor."

 "Wow, what a great idea." Said Kevin.

 Then Oliver said. "Sorry for asking help to you, Doctor."

 "It's okay. I feel very excited to help in preparing your weapons and equipment. At least this is what I can do with my expertise." Said Doctor Rengga with a smile.

 But suddenly Christa, who was sitting on the chair, said. "I still can't believe it, how can you beat George? … It took about 2 years for me to search for information about the Holy Grail group, until I could get the names of the three Generals. Even defeating Roschi took a long time for me ... But you suddenly appear and say that you have killed one of the Holy Grail Generals. "

 "That's because, I have Oliver with me." Kevin replied briefly.

 "Hmm, yes, i understand that reason ... But before it, I didn't expect that there was a Gargoyles who dare to fight their own race." Said Christa.

 "Never mind, don't argue anymore ... I told you that Oliver is different. He just wants a normal life, but his life is disturbed by George so that he must be involved with the Holy Grail group. Then by chance he met and collaborated with Kevin, so they could beat George. That's all." Said Dr. Rengga.

 Then Christa continued the conversation. “Hmm, but now what I'm most curious about is Kevin's figure ... He claims to be Alan Icardi's son, and he does have the power and weapons to destroy monsters. But didn't dad ever say, that Alan Icardi's son was living a normal life as an ordinary office employee, so you didn't want to get him into this monster problem ... But why now, suddenly Alan Icardi's son appeared and started to act, what exactly the reason behind this late hero's actions? ” Christa asked her father.

 Then Kevin was silent for a moment, he thought something in his mind, (“So that's how it is… The reason why Dr. Rengga didn't come to my house or try to meet me, it was because he didn't want to get me into this problem… He wanted me to live a normal life like everyone else. Whereas Christa has chosen her own path of life, as a monster hunter. Therefore, when the monster apocalypse happened, I was still in my office and knew nothing about all kinds of things related to monsters. ”)

 "Hey, don't just daydream. Answer my question!" Said Christa to Kevin.

 “O- oh, yeah sorry… I will tell you the reason why I'm acting now. But beforehand I warn you that you will definitely not believe the things that will tell you. " Said Kevin.

 "Just say it fast!" Said Christa again.

 Then Kevin took a deep breath, and he said. “Hmm… Actually, I came from the future that was destroyed by a monster apocalypse disaster. When I die, I return to my 25 year old body. So after that I immediately took the weapon that was inherited from my father, then i started all this action ... In the future, I had a chance to meet Christa, who said the mastermind behind this monster apocalypse disaster is a man named Rudolf. "

 After listening to Kevin's words, Dr. Rengga, Christa and Oliver, just stared at Kevin while open their mouths. They don't believe what Kevin just said, but on the other hand they are also very surprised after knowing that Kevin comes from the future, and if what Kevin said is true, that means the problems they have to face are very serious. Even more serious than before.

 “WHAAAAAAT ??? !!!" Said Dr. Rengga, Christa, and Oliver simultaneously.

 “Y- you from the future? Impossible." Said Dr. Rengga.

 "I don't believe you!" Said Christa.

 "Kevin, why are you just telling me about this now ??" Asked Oliver.

 "Hmm ... I told you, you won't believe it."

 Then Dr. Rengga spoke, “But it looks like what you said is might be can happen ... With the many phenomena of the dimensional rift that getting out of control and also Rudolf's involvement. So Then catastrophic disasters can indeed occur ... To be honest I have been trying to do an investigation and search for Rudolf, but he can always avoid my observation, his figure is really difficult to find, even though we have met several times by accidentally. "

 "Doctor, if I may know, who is Rudolf?" Asked Kevin.

 Then Christa answered Kevin's question. “He is an old friend of my father and your father. In the past, your father, my father and Rudolf, were 3 scientists who worked at the NeoGen's company. "

 “Oke, then there is one more thing I want to know, which is about the power within my body? Where does this power actually come from? " Asked Kevin curiously.

 "Hmm, looks like I have to start telling it from the very beginning, which is a story about the past ... Maybe my story can answer some of your questions Kevin." Said Dr. Rengga.

 Then Kevin and Oliver sat down immediately, and they put on serious faces to hear Dr. Rengga in focus. Kevin is very enthusiastic and impatient, because soon he will know the truth behind the power he has in his body, while Christa looks indifferent because she has often heard about this story from her father. So a few moments later, Dr. Rengga started telling the stories.

 “In 25 years ago, or rather around 1995, people were shocked by the phenomenon of the strange monsters appearance. The monster was in the form of a giant frog about the size of an adult cow, and had green glowing horn on its head. Because its existence was considered as threatening, so the monster was killed by local residents, then the video about the frog monster became widespread, causing people to be in an uproar and panic. In addition, it turns out that the appearance of strange monsters has also occurred in various other places. Even monsters that were previously considered as myths were recorded hiding in forest areas, and finally everyone and the news media in this country talked about this phenomenon. "

 "in the past, the media could move more freely, huh."

 "Hmm, yes. Then to find out the truth about those phenomenon, the Government began to take action by sending 3 scientists to go investigate and research all matters related to the phenomenon of these monster figures appearences. "

 "Owh, who are they?"

 “The 3 scientists are me, Alan Icardi, and Rudolf. Alan and I specialize in chemistry and mechanical equipment, while Rudolf is a specialist in biology. And at first the three of us didn't know each other.”

 "Wow ... My father made his debut from 1995." Said Kevin.

 "Yes, in carrying out the expeditionary mission, we were escorted by the military. We went to explore places that had experienced the phenomenon of monsters appearance, and we gathered a lot of information from various sources ... The expedition's activities lasted for several years. Then All the events and difficulties that we experienced along the way made our relationship closer so that we could become best friends ... Then on this expedition, we finally found a very surprising fact, namely about the source of the monsters appearance. In a southern forest area, we found a dimensional rift in the size of the door house, and it appeared only briefly, but before the portal disappeared, there were several insects like fireflies coming out of it. Then when we caught one of them, apparently that type of firefly is very different from the kind of type in our world. "

 "I think I know that insect." Said Oliver.

 "Of course, because you are come from there." Kevin replied.

 Then Dr. Rengga continued his story. “After we investigated further, it seems that all this time the dimensional rift have always appeared in various locations randomly. And their appearance is always brief, so not many people know that these unique monsters actually come from another dimension, and they can enter our world by passing through those dimensional portal that are being opened. "

 "Oowh."

 "After the expedition team had managed to find out about this fact, we began to make calculations to be able to predict where the next dimensional rift would appear. Apart from that we are also trying to create a support device that can make the dimensions portal to open for a long time ... Then long story short, we managed to find and hold an dimensional portal that appeared in the western mountainous region. So after locking the existence of this portal, the expedition team immediately installed parimeters and were on standby with all the weapons we had, to anticipate any things that might come out from there. "

 "Owh, I guess it was the first monster hunting attempt huh."

 “Yes, you could say that… And after waiting so long, then its happen. Suddenly we were surprised by the presence of a large monster that came out from dimensions portal. The monster was in the form of a giant snake that was very big and long, with skin as hard as rock and sharp fangs that were ready to tear its prey ... The snake moved so fast, then it twisted and ate one of our guard soldiers, so all of us who were there started to attack and shot at the giant snake, then the atmosphere there immediately turned chaotic and tense as a result of the battle that occurred ... The giant snake rampaged and destroyed various objects around it, while the Soldiers didn't stop shooting and keep attacking it. Then because the snake's body was constantly being hit by bullets, the snake finally fell and died with green blood flowing profusely from every gunshot wound on its body. "

 "Waahh, that's great."

 “After that, the snake's body suddenly melted and disappeared by itself, leaving only its horns. After the battle was over, then we could identify several important things, namely regarding the green horn that was owned by the snake, the horn was the same as those of other monsters had in various places. That means most of the monsters types that came out of the dimensional rift, had green horns that served as the energy source of their power, because each type of monster had its own unique characteristics and powers ... As for the cause of the dimensional portal appearance that can come suddenly in various places, it is still unknown. But there is a theory that says our dimension and the dimensions of the monsters are currently crossing each other, so the phenomenon of the dimensional rift can occurs in our world, and who knows when that phenomenon will end. It’s still can be solved."

 "Then what happened next?"

 "After we got the horn from the giant snake, we started to research the rare energy contained in it, and it turns out that this energy can be applied to various electronic items as an energy source ... Therefore, finally, the company NeoGen started merging with the government, then They took over the monster research project and the dimensional portal, so our original goal that was to search for the truth, then turned to only gain profit.”

 “Owh.”

 "The NeoGen company deployed many subordinates to search and lock the existence of others dimensional rifts, so that many dimensional portal were open for a very long time, and when monsters emerged from each of the staying portals, the NeoGen troops would immediately catch them and then take their horns ... Then the company NeoGen starts to extract the horns into energy, so they can create various human needs items that don't need electrical energy to turn them on ... So immediately, the Government and the NeoGen company change the appearance of the monsters to becomes a business field. Meanwhile, any media that spreads news related to the monster phenomenon will be immediately covered by the government, so that NeoGen's exploitation of monsters can be continued until now. "
