Air Hero

Kalina X Alexandra III

The moment Alexandra entered the church, she immediately asses her surrounding. In times where there is no CCTV in the area where the support can give information, it will depend on the hero’s ability to scout out the situation.

In the abandoned church, no electricity is running, and no device can be hacked, so it will depend purely on Alexandra's judgment. However, that was the case if she was alone. Right now, she has a partner Kalina which has the versatile ability, including reconnaissance.

“Careful, I’m detecting fifteen people in the basement. Wait, it isn’t possible. Their number is dwindling down quickly. Nine people left, six people, Alexandra, you need to move now.”

Noticing that the presence of the people detected by her plants is reducing, Kalina knows that something must have been happening in the basement. Hearing that, Alexandra raised her hands towards the sky then gathered her power.

Three seconds later, Alexandra unleashed the power that she charged up and punched the ground. At that moment, the ground seemed to split open into two separate sides. Just like Moses split open the red sea, the church alongside the earth is divided into two.

At that moment, Alexandra can see what is happening in the basement and why the presence of people reduced swiftly. She can see that the enemy is walking into a blue-colored portal.

“Darn it! Now I understand why it seemed to be weird when they are gathering in an abandoned church like this that doesn’t have any backdoor to escape. I got my suspicion but to think that they have a portal set up.”

Portal, among unique abilities, is the rarest of the rarest. There is only a record of three people throughout history. One works with the United Heroes association, but her existence is of utmost secret. The second one was said to have gone missing a few years ago, and the last one actually belonged to the evil mastermind.

On the day the person has his ability appraised at the united heroes headquarters, the evil mastermind’s spy that worked as ability appraisal immediately blown his cover and escape after k********g the boy. It can be shown how important this ability is.

Like now, sending the member of evil masterminds from dangerous locations back to their hideout has a tremendous usage in a hit-and-run tactic. The saving grace is that this power came with strict requirements and needed a lot of energy to activate.

“A portal? Can we still stop it?”

“I can try, but there’s no guarantee. I believe it is better if you’re the one taking care of it.”

Through their intercom communication, Kalina and Alexandra traded thoughts. There is a sense of urgency in her tone as there’s someone that she needed to catch no matter what. She doesn’t even know whether he still remains behind or not.

Kalina also ordered the plants within her power to attack the portal. The plant that she summoned this time looked like a sunflower. This is also the one that she once showed when Max is training. The petal of the sunflower glowed in golden lights, and in the next moment, a dazzling beam is launched towards the portal.

Although there is still some distance away between her and the portal, the power of the light beam didn’t reduce at all. Once the light beam hit the portal, the portal wavered a bit before it exploded.

Immediately, the evil mastermind member that is going to enter the portal is thrown around because of the explosion. However, they soon recovered and going to fights against the two intruders.

At this moment, Kalina realized that the person that she is chasing after isn’t present.

“Darn it. He already escaped!”

The moment she realized that, her fighting spirit immediately died down. Because of that, she is planning to let Alexandra handle the rest of the fight.

The member of the evil mastermind isn’t your usual villain, but in front of Alexandra, all kind of resistance is futile. With a few swings of her hand, the member of the evil mastermind’s body has suffered from fractures and broken bones, and Kalina used her ability to tie them up together despite her low fighting spirit.

“What happened to you? In the beginning, you seemed to be on fire.”

“The person that I’m looking for isn’t here.”

“Oh, you’re looking for someone? Is it the one who fights your little brother in the competition?”

Hearing that, Kalina is surprised since Alexandra knows about Max. After all, she doesn’t find a reason for Alexandra to investigate her current situation. She doesn’t really remember if Max told her about meeting with Alexandra or not.

“How do you know about my little brother?”

“I happened to meet him in a mission before.”

“Oh. Anyway, the person I’m looking for isn’t the one intruding on the competition.”

“It isn’t?”

“Yeah, it’s the person related to my father’s death.”

Hearing Kalina said that, Alexandra's expression also turned serious. After all, she knows the incident that had fallen to Kalina’s father isn’t something simple.

“Are you sure?”

“Selly confirmed it, so I’m sure.”

“Then, we should go and investigate.”

Alexandra then realized that it is nearly impossible since the target they are looking for already entered the portal earlier. Tracking where the portal leads to is near impossible since it was already destroyed. With a heavy heart, Kalina can only accept that she missed the opportunity for her revenge once again.

However, she didn’t get mad or flew into a fit of rage. After all, it wasn’t her first time failing to catch the target. After letting out a big sigh while looking at the clear blue sky, she made up her mind.

“Alexandra, let’s go back.”

“Eh, you give up this easily?”

“What do you expect me to do? After all, this is not the first time I failed to catch him. After all, we still have a lot of things to do. Firstly, we need to bring the people that we capture here to the association. I might be getting some more information out of their mouth later. Secondly, there are still civilians that need to be treated.”

Even though she is set on her revenge, Kalina didn’t forget her duty as a hero. hearing her saying that, Alexandra broke out a smile.

“Once a hero, always a hero.”

Hearing that, Kalina nods while she gives a bitter smile. After all, that saying is something that her father always said to her.
