Chapter 2. My final heaven.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
While Roseita screamed at her highest peak, Zenith and Sergan covered their ears tightly with their fingers. "Oh, shut up!!" Sergan shouted. "It is only your mobile phone. Just pick it up."
Roseita with tears in her eyes, answered the phone. The others sighed. After the phone, she contested, "It is not the phone made me scream. I saw ghost!!"
Sergan frowned, just began the other scold. Zenith cut him off first. "So, what you saw?"
"You know, in that photo. The girl in yellow skirt flowed across the library entrance!!." They looked at each other. Sounds of steps coming from the lounge. Then, a couple appeared. A girl dressed in a tank top and a dark navy jeans, with a megaphone in one hand. The guy was in a high collar black top, with grey trousers and trainers. He was holding a large TV camera.
"Did we scared you?" The girl gave a sorry look. She approached the gang. "We were news reporters. We bring no harm." At the same time, the guy walked towards Christine and talked in a he-believe-was-sexy tone, "Sure we were not aim to scare such a charming lady. I do give my apologist. I am Marcus Damen………" The girl next to him punched in his stomach. "Please ignores him. Behave yourself, Marcus!!" "I am Secci Telford."
Roseita gave an annoyed face. "You shouldn't pop in and take photo without any permission. This building is property of DDT building company. As the secretary who's in charge, now, I ask you to hand all you got or photos to me."
Secci yelled. "This is not fair!! No way!!"
"Yea. I am going to sue you. Show me your working pass." Roseita demanded.
Woman fight. The other three were bored by this conversation. Yet, Marcus was the one who knocked it out. "Please, shhhh. Ladies. (sighed.) Secci, you remember we had great discovery!! And we came for help?"
"I am Sergan, a seed. What have you found?" Sergan asked.
Secci, "Whooa. Seed?! This is the first time I met a seed. I am sooooo excited!!! So, what rank are you?! Uh…??"
Sergan tried to stay a meter away from this hyper young lady. Her voice is yet too loud. "…. None of your busyness."
Secci yelled. "You are mean!!" Another loud noise.
Zenith now was really annoyed. "Arrrr…. Stop yelling, you bitch! What did you see?"
"You called me bitch?!"
"Shhhhhhhh……. We believe there are monsters in the training center." Marcus said.
___________________________________________________________________________________________
Standing in front of training center. Six of them were in total silence. They could hear some loud scrawl sound behind the ironic heavy guarded door. Roseita was the first one freaked out. "I am not going in!"
"Yea.. you stay here by your own." Secci said in sarcasm. "That's scary."
Roseita ignored her. "You are not going in either, right?" Directed her question to Sergan.
Sergan took out his sword. "Who said that?"
So they all walked in. Plants were everywhere. Looking the green area. Christine commended, "A very humid place. Like a rain forest. Strange. I wonder who looked after the plants."
Secci hold tightly to Marcus. Marcus nervous said, "You think we should bring more armed people in. It really looks like monsters are here."
"Shhhh." Zenith hinted. He looked at the right hand corner neat the bridge. Sergan gave him a nodded.
"Awwwwwwwwww……" They all were shocked. Christine tried her best to keep calm. "This, I believe is a T-rex."
Without another word. They all escaped at their fastest rate. Sergan, of course pulled Roseita away as she reacted far too slow.
"That was close." Marcus said and panted.
Then, peace was not yet settle. As a beastly voice stated. "Humans. Who have the gut to charge me!"
As they turned around. They saw a feary blue dragon. "Awwwwwwww. Dragon." Roseita fainted. "Not this time." Sergan cursed.
Christine. "Not quite…….monster cannot talk. This may be…"
"A GF?" Sergan asked. Christine nodded.
Ran out of patient, Marcus shouted. "Why don't we just run away!"
"Do you think we have a chance?" Zenith indicated him the two red dragons next to their villain.
Looking down at Zenith, Bahamut paused. "I am Bahamut, the strongest GF. What's your name?"
Zenith frowned, pointing himself, "Me?! Do we have to state our name before challenge? Anyway, Zenith Dorthart." Bahamut grinned.
The battle started. As a seed, Sergan barely managed to kill the two red dragons. Yet the GF was still unhurt. "You are a great fighter." Bahamut indicated to Sergan. Then it did a massive attack. Megaflare. All the guys protested the ladies. They were half hurt. Kneeling on the ground, Marcus could not stand up. Even Sergan was heavily burnt. Seeing the death in front of them. Suddenly. "My Final Heaven." As Zenith shouted. He punched Bahamut, and did a lot of damage. However, the GF, did not fall for only one attack. Bahamut gave another grinned. "I shall join you."
It was a surprise. Then it disappeared in Zenith's body. Zenith felt a half- warm, half-cold feeling ran through his body. This feeling let him chill.
With concern, Christine asked. "You ok?" Zenith nodded. Sergan said, "In your report, you did not say you know martial arts." Zenith replied, "I didn't. It just came out of my brain. I did kick boxing in times, but I never involve in battle before. This is strange." Sergan gave a deepest look, "That's strange. My final heaven is a special move in Combat King hand-to-hand battle arts. You said you never learnt it?"
Marcus said, "I am dying. Let's just get the hell out of here first!"
They managed to carry the injured and fainted ones out of the training center. Sitting on the waxed floor. They were all exhausted. Sergan, "Damn, I could not move my left hand."
Zenith then said, "Ammm. Bahamut talked in my head. It said there was a cure drawing point at the entrance. I shall go and draw some." Everyone looked at him, as if he was insane. "Hey, guys. This is serious."
Sergan asked, "So, you junctioned to Bahamut?"
Zenith nodded. Sergan then said, "Alright then, we need energy to get out anyway."
__________________________________________________________________________________________
At the nightfall, they were all attended a formal ball for celebrating the discovery of such a historic building. After promised keeping this afternoon's event in secret, they agreed to have another hunt on the following day.
Sergan did not like this crowdy evens. He was half leaning on the marble wall, trying to get the most comfort as he can. With the Champaign in his hand, he looked around the people he met this afternoon.
Zenith was keeping himself busy with the food. After Secci screamed –Let's hit on the PAAH-TAY. She and Marcus were dancing the whole night. Did not see the sign of Christine though. Then, he saw Roseita walking upon him. She was wearing a silk-satin corset top and a matching skirt, all in white. Makes her look like a white angel.
Roseita smiled, "You had your eyes on me, right?"
Not being a flirt, yet not a freak. Sergan frowned. "You are the one who supposed to seduce me by wearing this, right?" He clearly stated her purpose.
"Indeed, I am. But at least, you have to notice my trick first." Roseita smiled. Despite her annoying scream, Roseita was still a beauty. Sergan cleared his mind. He moved to another topic, said. "You remember the scanned photo?"
"Can we not talk about that now?"Roseita sighed.
"I think they were those heroes who saved the world." Sergan said.
Then Roseita, looked deepen into Sergan's eyes. "So, do you think our heroes fall in love at situation like this?" Playfully words, however gave Sergan a chilled.
[Flashscene:
A young lady in white.
"You're the best looking guy here."
"Dan with me?"
The guy in uniform looked away.
"Let me guess…….
"You'll only dance with someone you like."
"OK then."
"Look in my eyes."
"You're-going-to-like-me.
You're-going-to-like-me."
"Did it work?"
The guy laughed. "I can't dance."
"You'll be fine. Come on."
"I am looking for someone. I can't be danced on the floor alone."]
Sergan shivered.
"Sergan?" Roseita asked. Sergan did not want to think about this anymore, he quickly picked Roseita's hand, "Let's dance."
