Chapter 25

Third person' pov:

Matapos pasabugin nila Ivan ang rest house ni Secretary. Joymar ay agad silang sumakay ng motor nila, tuwang-tuwa naman si Edrian dahil unang beses n'ya sumabak sa misyon na may kasama.

"Grabe ang galing natin," natutuwang sabi ni Edrian habang nag-mamaneho.

Ivan nod at Edrian. "Yeah, we did great."

"Road trip or ibalita agad natin kay Amo?" tanong ni Arjhay.

"Road trip!" Sigaw na sabay ni Edrian at Ivan.

Ivan don't really show his emotions but when it comes to his mom or his subordinates it's different, they all stopped infront of a food truck.

"Anong order n'yo?" tanong ng lalake?

"Pwede beng ekew ne leng keye?" pabebeng tanong ni Edrian.

Dahil dito ay binatukan s'ya ng pinsan nyang si Arjhay.

"Don't mind him, we'll just take 3 orders of beef shawarma and 3 cans of beer." Arjhay pulled out his wallet and give a card to the cashier.

"Thank you, please wait for 5 minutes."

"Shuta ang gwapo," kinikilig na sabi ni Edrian.

"Umayos ka nga." Batok ni Arjhay kay Edrian.

"Aray! Ivan oh si insan," sumbong ni Edrian kay Ivan.

Napa-iling naman si Ivan at hinawakan sa kamay si Arjhay.

"Hayaan mo na kasi, baka love life na 'yan ni Edrian." Sandal ni Ivan ng ulo n'ya sa braso ni Arjhay.

Huminga naman ng malalim si Arjhay bago tumango, sakto rin naman na dumating ang pag-kain nila na agad kinain. Hindi naman nila alam na nakasubaybay na ang mahigit 30 na Russian soldiers ang nag-hihintay ng tamang oras para umatake, matapos kumain ay agad sumakay si Edrian at Ivan sa motor habang si Arjhay at tinapon ang basura nila.

"Tara na!" Sigaw ni Edrian sa kanyang pinsan.

"Eto na." Umiiling na sagot ni Arjhay.

Lalapit na sana si Arjhay nang tila may mapansin s'yang bagay na tila tatama sa kanila.

"Ilag!" Malakas na sigaw ni Arjhay.

Pero huli na at tumama ito sa lupa, tumalsik naman si Arjhay sa food truck habang si Edrian at Ivan ay parehong nawalan ng malay. Nahihirapan man ay mabilis tumayo si Arjhay at nakita ang mga Russians na binubuhat si Ivan na walang malay, agad sumugod si Arjhay sa mga Russian kahit nanghihina pa ito. Nabalutan muli ng lighting armor si Arjhay at sumugod, mabilis pinatumba ni Arjhay ang limang lalake pero bigla siyang tumalsik matapos atakihin ng babaeng may Armory. The women who attacked Arjhay as an armory na parang isa itong dragon fly, tumingin si Arjhay at inilabas ang kanyang lightning blade habang ang babae ay ang kanyang fire staff.

"Get out of the way or I'll kill you," Arjhay said with a warning tone.

"You can't beat me at your state," the woman responded.

Mabilis sumugod dito si Arjhay na agad hinarang nga babae, both of their attacks create a little explosion of fire and lighting. The woman wearing the fire armor is the 5th of the strongest armory made by the empire, while Arjhay's lighting armor is 2nd.

"I'll kill you," Arjhay said before attacking but he was taken down by the girl and knocked him down.

"Take him on the Van so we could transport him in Russia," the woman ordered.

"Yes General. Marvy," the soldier said.

"What about them?" the other soldier asked.

"Don't mind them," General. Marvy said.

Tumango naman sila at iniwan si Edrian at Arjhay na parehong walang malay, si Ivan naman ay walang malay pa rin habang sakay-sakay ng suv papuntang paliparan.

Edrian's pov:

Unti-unti kong dinilat ang mata ko at pinilit bumangon kahit sobrang sakit ng katawan ko.

"Ivan," I weakly said while trying to regain some strength.

Tumingin ako sa paligid at na kita ko agad si Arjhay na walang malay, hawak ko ngayon ang balikat ko at dahan-dahan nag-lakad papunta kay Arjhay kahit pakiramdam ko na ang daming bali ng katawan ko.

" Arjhay wakeup," I said to Arjhay.

Unti-unti namang bumukas ang mata ni Arjhay at tumingin.

"Where's Ivan?" I asked.

"Fvck they took him," Arjhay said while slowly standing.

"The Russian?" I asked once again.

"Oo," sagot ni Arjhay.

"Kailangan natin bumalik sa kampo para humingi ng tulong kay Amo para mabilis natin mahanap si Ivan," saad ko at ininda ang sakit ng braso ko.

Lumapit naman si Arjhay sa Motor ko dahil hindi ito masyadong na sira kagaya ng kay Ivan.

"Ako na ang mag dadrive, we must hurry back to the camp as soon as possible so we could heal your wounds and broken bones also to find Ivan even faster." Arjhay said.

Umangkas naman ko rito at mabilis nag-maneho si Arjhay, ang apat na oras na byahe ay naging dalawang oras at kalahati. Nagulat naman sila Johnrey sa itsura namin pero mabilis ang kilos nila at dinala kami sa clinic ng kampo namin, they lay us down to a machine that was invented in the hospital and I felt a warm sensation on my body. I slowly felt like my broken bones are slowly healing and my wounds are drying, tumingin naman ako kay Arjhay at pareho kaming gumagaling. Lumipas ang sampung minuto ay wala na ang mga sugat namin pero nanghihina pa rin ako dahil sa pag-sabog, tumingin naman ako kay Arjhay na mabilis bumangon at pumunta sa monitor n'ya, inalalayan naman ako ni Louiza at Clarrise papunta sa upuan.

"Wala na sila sa Pilipinas bwiset," galit na sila ni Arjhay.

"Ano ba kasing nangyari?" tanong ni Johnrey sa'min ni Arjhay.

"Pabalik na kami rito sa kampo matapos ang misyon namin nila Ivan, kumain lang kami sa isang kainanan pero hindi namin inaasahan na may aatake sa'min." Baba ko sa Arachne ko.

"So it means that Ivan has been taken by the Russians?" Jaiceph asked.

"Oo, at wala na sila sa Pilipinas," sagot ni Arjhay.

Pare-pareho kaming tila nawalan ng pag-asa dahil sa sagot ni Arjhay sa tanong ni Jaiceph .

"Louiza, I want you to try to contact Amo. Clarrise, Jaiceph and Jerico , I want the three of you to spy on the outside of the empire. Johnrey help me track Ivan and try hacking the security of the Russia," Arjhay said.

Tumango naman sila at ginawa ang utos ni Arjhay, ako naman ay pinili bumangon at tumingin Kay Arjhay.

"How can I help?" I asked.

"Mag-pahinga kana lang, nanghihina kapa," sagot ni Arjhay.

"Hindi insan, hindi ko kayang mag-pahinga kung kasama ako bago mawala si boss." Nag-lalakad kong sagot rito.

"Regain some strength Edrian and after that I'll be the one resting, I want you to handle this while I take a rest." Arjhay said before tapping my shoulder which made me realize that he got into a fight before he passed out.

Lumipas ang apat na oras ay tuluyan na ngang bumalik ang lakas ko kaya naman si Arjhay na ang nag-pahinga, lumapit naman ako kay Johnrey at naka-tingin lang din ito sa screen.

"Any news?" I asked.

"We found Ivan on the 3rd largest prison in the world which is in Russia," Johnrey answered while he looks at the monitor.

"Si tita Rea?" tanong ko.

Tumingin naman sa'kin si Johnrey bago huminga ng malalim at sumandal, hinilot naman nito ang ilong nito bago tumingin muli sa'kin.

"Tita Rea was so calm and collective like she already expected that this would happen, sabi ni tita Rea na malakas ang pakiramdam n'ya na si Ivan ang matitira at babalik sa'tin," sagot ni Johnrey.

Lumipas ang dalawang oras ay bumangon na rin si Arjhay kasabay nito ang pag-balik ni Louiza habang kasama si Amo.

"Are you both Ok?" Amo asked.

"We both are, but we still don't know the condition of Ivan," I answered.

Arjhay quickly saluted at Amo after he saw her.

"Any information?" she asked to Arjhay.

"Nasa 3rd largest prison in the world si Ivan, hindi rin namin ma hack ang cctv nila." Umupong sagot ni Arjhay.

Lumapit naman si Amo sa monitor at may tinype, lumipas ang sampung minuto ay bumungad sa'min si Ivan na kaharap ang isang babae.

"I can only hack one camera without getting trace by the authority of Russia," Amo explained.

Nakita namin ngayon kung paano makipag-sukatan ng tingin ni Ivan sa babae.

"Siya ang na kalaban ko bago ako mawalan ng malay," biglang saad ni Arjhay.

"That's General. Marvy of Russia, her empire armory is Dragonest. Her armor has a slight feature of a dragon fly and the weapon of her armor is a staff that can generate flames," Amo explained.

"So she's the general," Arjhay said while looking at Ivan who's now in a bed.

"How can we save him?" Louiza asked.

"We can't do anything for now, specially Ivan is in Russia. Hindi tayo basta-basta pwede umatake," sagot ni Amo.

Lumipas din ang ilang minuto ay dumating sila Jaiceph at sumaludo kay Amo.

"Anong balita sa loob ng empire?" tanong ni Arjhay.

"According to a vendor, General. Jannelliza with 3 of her elite soldiers went to Russia 3 days ago for an event, mukang ang event na 'yun is tungkol dito," sagot ni Jaiceph.

"Tama ka," sagot ni Amo.

"Is there any possibilities that we could hack the Russian security system?" Johnrey asked.

"Meron isang drive sa opisina ni Dra. Ylreveb, it's a small red chip that can connect you to all of the satellites on our 8 planets on our star system. That chip is hidden inside of a safe on Dra. Ylreveb office, oras na makuha natin 'yun ay madali natin mahahack ang security system ng Russia," sagot ni Amo sa tanong ni Johnrey.

Tumayo naman bigla si Arjhay kaya kami napa-tingin kami rito.

"We'll start planning tomorrow and find it so we could immediately hack the security system of Russia," Arjhay said.

"So babalik tayo sa loob ng empire?" tanong ni Jerico.

"Oo," maikli kong sagot.

"Amo, pwede mo ba kaming tulungan maka-pasok sa loob ng empire?" tanong ni Arjhay kay Amo.

"There's a hidden tunnel outside of the empire which is connected to the main building of the empire," Amo said. "I'll get the blueprint tomorrow and I want you all to study it so we won't get caught," Amo added.

"So everything is ready now," Johnrey said.

"We just need to execute it properly so we won't get any problem and not get caught in a dangerous situation," Arjhay said before standing up.

So this means that we need to be ready once again, a very challenging situation on getting inside the empire and getting out safely. I just do hope that we can execute this properly with facing any elite soldier, because if we do, it only means that we have to fight them to take them down and escape.
