chapter 9

All of the 4 specialists, including Eelin, are in the office of the general (while they're wrapped up by bandages to cover their injuries from their last battle). And they brought the gems to Garu.

Garu: *Looks at the gems that he's holding.* Hmmm... I have to say, I'm impressed from your efforts of retrieving the gem on your own. Especially on bringing the other one, but it's shaped of a tornado.

Lumi: yeah. Hakai was using them as a weapon to grant element powers. Like he summons a storm clouds that strike lightning from the thunderbolt gem.

Felisa: even using tornado gem that create a blast of the wind.

Garu: I see. You did a great job on retrieving those gems from the wrong hands

Jericho: well, I never thought how dangerous that the mission would be.

Lumi: but we managed to overcome everything if we all work together. And we made a new friend who helped us out as well.

Eelin: you can thank them for freeing me from Hakai. Especially Jericho. Back then, Hakai always threatened to kill anyone if I don't do any favors for him... But now that I'm free, I decided to join and become specialist. Because I wanted to prevent people from death.

Garu: hmmm... How old are you, Eelin?

Eelin: I'm 15.

Garu: well, if you want to join us, you must participate an entrance exam first So you'll be accepted. Then you'll be studying in the academy for 3 years in your age before becoming a specialist. Although the academy has already started in this year, we can allow it to have you attending on this organization. Unless you ace perfectly on your entrance exam like Jericho, Then you'll be studying for one year and become specialist.

Jericho: of course she will. Eelin is a genius and her powers are incredible. Like she used it to save us from Kela.

Much to shock the wolf general greatly.

Garu: wait, what?! You met Kela?! The Hero Hunter?!

Sukar: not only her. Kela also brought her subordinates as well. We weren't able to win against them.

Felisa: not even our armors.

Lumi: and she's the one who defeated Hakai.

Garu: I can't believe it... You're lucky that you all managed to escape from them or you'll wind up dead. Since no one would ever defeat those monsters. As you shouldn't underestimate their abilities.

Jericho: that's true. They almost finished us off.

Eelin: yeah. That's why there are things I should learn since I was locked in.

Garu: But more importantly, I'm just so glad you're all safe from your mission. It is my responsibilities for all of you as your general, and your principal.

Jericho: well, I have something else to tell you.

Garu: then what is it?

Jericho: remember about the things I told you about the thunderbolt gem? I became familiar with a tornado gem as well.

Garu: really?

Jericho: it's like I have some connections with them. But also, when Hakai uses them, I think I've seen this before like he's using an element technique.

Sukar: let's not forget that you have sense something while I don't. As your head tells that something's calling you.

Jericho: I told you, I have no idea why. I'm confused as well because I have amnesia.

This surprises Sukar, Felisa, and Eelin from learning from the truth. While Lumi already knows since he has told her.

Which the human boy sadly looks down.

The wolf general then insist the five to return to their dorms since they need them to rest from their mission. And informing them about the headquarters are fully repair from the damage, including the academy so they could resume their classes. While assuring about Jericho's missing memories would have to wait until he'll become a great specialist, since he decided to.

Then reminded them about the upcoming exam that they need to prepare for two weeks. But if they passed the test perfectly, they shall participate a tournament.

While Eelin will have to prepare as well for her entrance exam on the next week.

Once he dismissed them, Garu still has to think about repairing the gate that needs to be something to prevent enemies from attacking like it happens from before. Which Eelin volunteers to help on repairing the gate since she's expert on machineries.

.

.

The 2 boys has returned to their room where Sukar lay down on his bed while Jericho goes to the cage to pick up his pet space mouse, Coco.

As he tries to relax, he looks at the human boy where he recalls from their last journey together. Complementing his actions and bravery.

"You were great out there."

"*Starts to look at him* Hmm?"

"You were brave back there. For a normal human being."

"Oh that? I just want to make up with my mistakes. I just want to get it back from Hakai."

"But I was impressed from what you did. Like you have a lot of guts on removing the slave collar off from Eelin, even though that tries to electrocute you, but you managed to survive."

"Yeah. I did this because I hate what they did to her. But still... It kinda reminds me something from the past. I may have amnesia, but I do felt something that was familiar. Like someone had done something terrible and has wronged me. It makes me feel mad."

"So you don't remembering. Like you don't know who you are, where you come from, or... You don't know what you're family or friends are...?"

"*Starts to sit on his bed, while holding Coco.* Yeah... I don't remember anything from the past... I don't why I ended up being in this planet. However... I felt some deja Vu when we first face the Transylvaniacs."

"Deja Vu?"

"Like when a woman with bandages slammed me all over the area... Even I was attacked from nowhere by an invisible person... It's like I've been there before... Also when I first encounter Hakai during the terrorist attack, he wounded my left arm. It like I felt this pain before..."

"... Does that mean your memories are coming back to you?"

"Not really... My head is still all blank."

"I see. But aren't you worried about it?"

"Well I do. But... I have motivation on why I decided to join the operators. So I can become stronger... Because... I have a feeling that I experience something horrible that made me anxious. That's why I can be very cautious and hostile... Because... Someone has wronged me... Which makes me feel less faithful to someone and I feel like I want to... Beat someone up... Or, getting revenge on them..."

"... That explains why you never bother socializing with our classmates or anyone else, even after they immediately treated you like an outcast because you're a human. But during our first mission, you started to help us, even though you never want to associate as you suddenly changed."

"Well, it happens when Garu and Angsa scolded me for beating up the bullies, or they'll threatened to kick me out. While they gave me a space mouse so I could learn to connect with someone... But the truth is... It all happened when I met a dragon."

"A dragon?"

"I didn't tell anyone that I met a dragon as I let it escape. Because I can see that the dragon doesn't mean any harm as it wants to be free. Which I remember the time when Garu and Angsa told me on being judgemental on someone I don't know. So I decided to spare it's life when I first attempt to kill it before I changed my mind. Which it didn't bother attacking me but to run off. This actually reminds me of my missing memories as I felt it. Like someone has told me about expressing my feelings and be truthful to myself... So I'll be supported..."

"Expressing feelings and being truthful..."

"This is also my inspiration on why I suddenly changed. I take that back from doubting someone I don't know, especially you Sukar. After all, You just have a mental problems that's all. Garu has told me about you."

Hearing this causes the guy with tanned skin to stay silent for a moment.

Jericho tries to call out for his roommate if he's okay but couldn't respond. Until he says,

"I have to say... You and me... We're so much a like..."

"Well... You could say that."

"And that reminds me how you feel on how you loath someone because of your horrible experience, is exactly what I did as well."

"What...?"

Jericho is surprised from what he had heard.

So Sukar begins to explain about his terrible childhood.

.

.

.

When he was a child, his mother came home who was completely injured as she was mauled by robbers.

Sukar and his father tried to send her to the hospital, but wasn't able to save her in time, so she died.

This drove his father mad and becomes determined to hunt someone down to avenge his wife.

.

.

.

Sukar spent his time with his abusive father who has become alcoholic thug who spent years hunting down someone to seek revenge on.

Causing to be feared by the society on his home planet for his violent actions.

Also mistreating his son where he gives a harsh combat training on young Sukar where he never went easy and physically beat him. As he wants to become a strong warrior by toughening him up.

Causing Sukar to become more resentful towards his father for the mistreatment. Wishing to kill him himself once he'll get stronger.

.

.

.

When Sukar turned 10 years old,

His father came home late. Though he doesn't to make eye contact with him, he noticed that his appears to be quite exhausted in this state.

Later when his father calls him to come into his room, he sees his father sitting on the window that's wide open.

The moment went silent between the two, until his father slowly smiles at him.

As Sukar becomes disbelief as he never seen him smile for ages, his father is satisfied because he successfully hunted down on someone that he seeks vengeance on.

But now feels completely regretful for what he had treated his own son after realizing about his error.

Once he apologize to Sukar, he tells him to move on so he can have a better life. His father believes in his son that he can take care of himself after his training that he taught.

However, Unable to forgive himself for what he did, he decided to commit a suicide. Believing that his son would be more happier if he's not around.

Despite of Sukar's pleas, he starts to fall down from the window and dies, much to horror his son.

Sukar becomes more distraught over the loss of his parents as he has no one else to be with.

Causing to change the view of his father, even though he has no clue on how his father redeemed himself.

.

.

.

During his time after his father's death, however, he encounter people who voiced their hatred of his father and any offspring he might have, causing him to feel alone and worthless.

Once, this led to him beating some of them to near death for insulting his father.

Which led to be fear by the society of his home town as well, just like his father. Causing them to avoid him.

.

.

.

When time passed...

Sukar spent time being isolated where he stayed in his house that becomes like a haunted house that nobody wants to come in.

Until he met the general of the Alphas operators, Garu. As Sukar is being hostile, he offers him to join the operators so he can become a specialist.

Not only because of his fighting skills, Garu doesn't want a young boy to grow up to become a murderer.

Although Sukar's reluctant, the wolf general assures that he'll meet someone that he can make friends with, so he'll never be alone forever.

.

.

.

Sukar may have found a place to live, where he started started to study and train to become a specialist. While most of the people in planet astropolis seems to be nice and friendly, unlike his home planet.

However, because of his horrible experience from the past, he's unable to socializing with his classmates or anyone else.

But still managed to handle most of the tasks as a student and a trainee independently. Believing he can handle things on his own.

.

.

.

Once Sukar finished explaining about his past, Jericho is left shock from learning about his past, but also felt completely sympathetic about it as well.

Seeing Sukar expressing his anger and frustration about his past.

"I'm sorry to hear this, Sukar."

"Nah. It's just that, when I learned about your background, I just realized that you and me do share in common."

"Yeah... That's right..."

"But now I started to change my mind on something. It's all thanks to you, Jericho."

"What?"

"When your attitude change, you have inspired me to help someone rather than being left alone. And most of all..."

Sukar begins to pick up something from his pocket. Which shows him to have the dragon claw.

"That's the dragon claw that I gave you."

"No one has ever given me a gift for a long time. So I cherish it. But now, I feel like I want to look for a new path that's similar to you, Jericho."

"Like wanting to prove yourself that you're the best?"

"Actually... I wanted to become a strong specialist... So anyone could accepted me by proving that I'm the greatest... And... I'll never be alone again..."

This make Jericho to realize something upon hearing from his roommate.

"Now that you told me... I just realized something because it came from my head.... The real reason why I wanted to join Alphas operators is that... I thought I could become greater so I won't feel worthless..."

"You do?"

"I don't know. It's all in my head that tells me that I might done something wrong. Which I had let someone down from before. Like I'm nothing but a disappointment. Making me believe that I was hated. Which makes me feel sad... And lonely... So I thought I could proves myself better by becoming a top class specialist to become stronger. But I couldn't. All of of my efforts was a complete waste when I tried to face against Hakai... Even Kela and the Transylvaniacs, I never thought how powerful they are. Maybe I'm not good enough."

Jericho doubts himself, while Sukar sighs. And says,

"It's not all about you that you're not good enough. None of us did because we all underestimate their abilities. But there are things we had learned from our journey. If we all stick together, we could overcome anything. Where we managed to retrieve the gem."

"Yeah. We sure did."

"But more importantly. You really had improve yourself. Like we would wind up dead from Kela's attacks if Eelin wouldn't have saved us since you freed her. And your actions gain more respect from others. After you save our lives during the first mission of this year, you started get respect from Felisa and Yuri when they back you up from the bullies."

"Yeah. I guess I have changed a lot, unlike from before."

"You know what? I feel like I want to change as well so I could have a fresh start. So I won't have to spend my time being alone anymore."

"I'm glad to hear it, Sukar."

"For now, I need a favor, Jericho."

"What is it?"

"Since there will be an upcoming exam, and it's not gonna be easy than before. So... I heard that you had easily passed every single test perfectly from last few weeks when you first transfer, including your entrance exam."

"Yeah, so?"

"Will you help me out? So I could ace the test, and I would participate the tournament if I passed."

"Hmmm... Alright. But how about in exchange, you'll give me tips for your fighting moves. I heard that you were an expert fighter from past few years. So I needed a sparring partner so I could be prepared for the tournament if I passed the exam."

"Alright, deal. I take that back for being cold to you, sorry about that."

"Nah it's cool. I'm sorry for doubting you in the first place. I have to say, you and I aren't so different at all. We would've been good friends."

Which Sukar agrees with a smile.

With the two now bonded with each other after sharing their respective stories, they started to form friendship.

So they happily give each other a handshake.
