Kurooba &Ginga: ENJOY
A long, long time ago.
There is two kingdom who has been waging a war for centuries, blows after blows traded for one and the other, innocent people were killed, and the negative emotions that never ends. Thus, resulting in an extraordinary plot.
From below the ground, rise the kingdom of the undead. Feeding on flesh and bones. The panic meter kept on rising as the real monsters has been awoken by the hands of the men. Blood splattered on the wall and guts spilling on the ground, blood-shot eyes looking at no one. Giving the S.O.S. message.
Time went by and the two kingdom decided to (unwillingly) join force to defeat the undead. But all of that are just for naught, common swords can't pierce through one of the undead called the Reaper. As a result, more people got killed in the hands of the undead.But that won't stop the men to continue to pray to their god. Hoping to find their salvation. Year after year passed, and they haven't found their heroes.
Until one day,
Four spirits, born from the nature itself, descended from the heaven. Four heavenly spirits with each different power of fire, water, wind, and earth, rains down their justice upon the undead army. The cry on the battlefield on the men side can be heard once again, for they have heard about the arrival of the spirits.
The human keeps on pushing through the undead's army with the power of the four spirits, resulting in the backing down of the undead kingdom.Joyous laughter and victory cries can be heard aìs the two kingdoms decided to be at peace for their fear of strengthening of the undead kingdom. Their source of power is no other than the negative emotions that kept on pouring while the two kingdoms fighting each other.
And that happiness brought in a miracle. They call it 'magic'. For the newly born babies are able to make a spoon fly without even touching it. These kept happening, until magic itself is a common thing.
"…Until this day,"
Ginga closed the book as he pondered over the story. The story itself has been labeled as a fairy tale for children (skipping the grotesque part) to go to sleep.
Beside Ginga, there is Kyoya who is texting, through his smartphone, with the headquarter. "Say Kyoya," The redhead began. Kyoya stopped and stared at Ginga from the corner of his eyes, telling him to continue. "If the world truly is saved by the four spirits that they said are 'heavenly', why haven't we once saw a glimpse of them? Well, maybe not physically, but at least a statue about them. We have yet to see one." He asked. Still confused with the modern days.
These days, people are always with their smartphone and magic is their secondary helper. Science and magic kept on developing that the term 'spell' and 'rune' has been deemed common. Although the two were on a whole different league. Magic is based on something about myth, while science is something about fact. But it seems like they both get along in this world.
Kyoya then responded to his friend with a mere shrug and continue to busying himself with his phone while he said. "Because no one knows if they actually exist or not, since the four disappeared into nothingness the second the Great War stopped,"
Ginga pondered about that. And confusing questions keeps on popping out of nowhere. "But someone back then could make a statue about them, for formality or not,"
"They probably just get a little too much overjoyed that they forget about their existence,"
"Seriously Kyoya,"
"I'm serious damn it,"
The redhead sighed in defeat, seems like this day off of their job only makes his headache worse. That lasts until two other guys came into their direction, which was a familiar face for both Ginga and Kyoya.
"Are you two fighting or it's just the heat?" Asked a blonde haired guy that just came and took a seat at one of the chairs. The other one with the silver hair seating at the other side of the blonde. Ginga gave them another round of sigh and placing his hand on the table as a support. "Chris, we're inside a café and you're asking about the heat?"
"No, I'm serious" The blonde—called Chris, said. "The outside is so awful. I need to hide under every shadow I passed upon," He continued.
The silver hair—named Ryuuga snorted at Chris' comment. "Heh, you said that because you're element is water so that you're prone to heat,"
"Yeah, and it's not really helping with your fire to kept me burning alive," Chris said as he glared at Ryuuga who's still smirking in victory. Ginga himself didn't really know what happen but he didn't have any urge to ask them. Not like he wants to know either.
"Hey, flash news for you guys," Kyoya suddenly said, making the other turned their attention towards him. "Seems like Yuki just found a new job for us tomorrow." He continued. Earning a sigh, a scowl, and a deadpan thrown at him at the same time. The greenhead raised his eyebrow at them. "What? You thought that we can just laze off after one day off?"
Chris pinched the bridge of his nose, sighing in frustration. "Not that, it's just those news only make my mood worsen,"
"Well, I'm not sorry about that,"
"Whatever,"
Ginga turned his gaze at the outside, staring at the busyness of the town while pondering. The people in town is living in good health and fortune, unlike what the legend has said where the smell of blood and rotten body are very common. Just thinking about that is enough to send shivers down his spine.
Working directly under the Union Nations isn't a simple task and a bonus headache that they are in the military section. Don't get the wrong idea, but they want to protect what they could and save it, even if that means sacrificing themselves.
The organization's name is Halcyon, a name given by the Union Nations themselves. The organization that is made to protect the whole world from any invading undead that for some reason is stubborn enough to continue to walk down the earth's surface. They don't work like the ordinary military, their job isn't just to protect one nation, but the whole world is at their hands. Also, their HQ is at the UK, US, and Russia. Although they're a worldwide organization, they mostly work in the dark.
And at some point, the union said that all generals must take a break for a day. And that what makes them sitting here, just chatting like any old days.
"So, what's the job about?"
Hearing Ryuuga's question, Ginga snapped out of his train of thoughts. "A new old scroll seems to be found somewhere near Stonehenge," Kyoya begin his explanation. "said that this is a work for me and you, Ginga." He said, turning his gaze to the redhead who nodded in return.
"Then, Chris is going to train the students for basic healing spells and runes," The said blonde just rolled his eyes, but it's better for him to be at the building rather than being at the sunny-hell outside. Then Kyoya continued on with his news. "And lastly Ryuuga, there is something the boss wants to talk to you, along with Yuki and Dynamis."
All eyes fall upon the silver-haired general. They supposed it isn't something new, since the only people that have met with the boss were only Ryuuga, Dynamis, and Yuki. Even if the three of them already got the title 'general', it doesn't look like that they will ever meet the boss themselves. It disturb them to know that they were working under someone that they have never seen, but they still believe the organization nonetheless.
Ryuuga nodded his head once, signaling that he's still listening. Ginga turned his attention back to the greenhead, who's still thinking the same thing as Ginga. "So, they already have a field work for us tomorrow?" He asked, just need to check. And Kyoya responded with a nod.
Enough to make the redhead groan in exhaustion.
"…And that's pretty much all I know about it." Yuki finished his sentence with a sigh. The still-young head scientist stared at the two generals, urging them to ask a question or he'll end the explanation. And it seems like the two already used to do this kind of thing, so no question asked.
"Then if you have no question, you're dismissed," Soon after Yuki said that, the two excuse themselves and walked to their own office.
Yuki only watched the door closed as the two left the room, a troubled expression painted on his face. He wasn't sure for how long he could keep this parade going on, he slaps his hands on the desk. Why do things like these always happened to good people?!
"You looked trouble, Anubis." The young scientist raised his head to the source of the sound. There stood a violet-haired man, looking at his direction in a soft gaze. Yuki sighed in relief when he knows that it's Dynamis, one of the nine generals. Although, he's not one of the 'four'.
"Yes, I just can't keep going on like this… They're hurting and what I can do is just sit back and let it happen! And I call myself their 'friend'?!" He let out a frustrated yell at Dynamis. The violet eyes only stared at him in silence, listening to every pain that's slipped within his words. Yuki felt grateful for that though, he just really need to set the steam out of his head or he'll break. And that's the least thing that he wants to do.
Dynamis lowered his head solemnly, knowing fully well how the scientist feels. There are reasons for the boss to only let him, Yuki, and Ryuuga to meet face to face. And one of them is being tight-lipped. Because usually when he summoned the three of them at once, it's not a good news to hear.
"Sorry for bursting out to you like that sir," Yuki said as he sighed in exhaustion, both physically and mentally. He just wants to curl up in his bed and do nothing, or maybe sleeping. Yeah, that sounds good enough.
The violet-haired general shook his head. "I know how it feels, but we all know that it hits Ryuuga the most out of all of us." He said as he turned his back at the scientist and walked out of the office, thinking that the actual reason for him to come in the first place has to be buried in his thoughts for a while until Yuki himself calmed down.
At the entrance of the building, there stood Ginga and Kyoya who were waiting for a certain scientist to give them the tracking device. One thing only that both of them actually like about the modern days is about their advanced technology.
That doesn't mean they're out of the range of failure though.
"Hey, you two!"
The sudden yell made the two snapped out from their train of thoughts. They turned their head simultaneously and saw an orange hair child along with silver-haired man. One scientist, and one B-Ranked soldier.
Sometimes, Ginga caught himself thinking about why they still haven't promoted Tsubasa to become a general, or an A ranked soldier in this case. He have the skills, he has the experiences, heck he even has the look! But then again, this isn't the time to think about that.
"What is it Yu? Tsubasa?" Asked the red-haired general. Yu, the scientist, handed them the device that he was holding all the way to meet them to Ginga. "Here is the delivery, Yuki said he's sorry for not being able to come and give you this himself."
Ginga stared at the device on his hand, it's a new device that they could use to locate the old scroll more easily. Hopefully it didn't blow up like it did the last time he went on to a mission. "Alright, send my thanks to him okay? See ya guys!" The red head waved his hand and walked out the building, followed by Kyoya closely behind.
"Yeah, best of luck to you guys!" Cheered the little scientist, as little by little, the silhouette of the two general disappeared.
At the same time, a silver-haired general watching the scene unfold before him, can't help but to feel sorry for the two who just set out on their mission. The four of them, are all suffering. And yet, amongst the four—only he himself knows what's happening. How much longer until this façade is broken?
How much can they endure when they know it will happen? And that there is no cure for them?
He shrugged his shoulders, closing his eyes so he could calm himself.
I never ever once thought that magic is a blessing anyway.
