Other world, other me
They still keep on fighting, none of them willing to give up! As the battle getting heat up, a helicopter pass by them. It stop in the middle of their battle and The HURT start to gather below the helicopter, ready to leave.
Zhao Yun: Heh, it's about time you come, boldy! (he look up at the helicopter while still keep guard up)
Zhou Yu: So, have you got 'him'? (he sneer)
Dian Wei: (he open the door and standing there) Then why do you expect me to come here in the first place? (he said coolly, showing off his newly caught prisoner's head. It was Lu Xun, who laying there unconscious)
Gan Ning: Hey, wasn't that…! (he was surprise, he never thought Lu Xun would get caught)
Jiang Wei: Lu Xun!
Zhou Yu: Oh? Lu Xun? That's his name? What a pity… even monster like him had a name… (he use his claw hand to cover his face, laughing)
Cao Ren: Lu Xun? So that's the kid that the ladies been talking about…
Jiang Wei: So the 'him' you mention was… (his face started showing anger, he never thought this could happen at the same time)
Zhou Yu: You know, for starter, you really are slow…
Sun Ce: Then why do you think we came here for? (both he and Zhou Yu laugh, mocking them)
Gan Ning: That's does it! (he thought. He really wanted to teach them a two, but was stop by Huang Gai's sudden yell)
Huang Gai: Run! Run now! We still have 4 minutes left! (he run towards them, shoving them to run for their life!)
Ma Chao: It's not a joke! Run! (then, they start to run leaving the HURT and Lu Xun behind)
Zhou Yu: Yes, run for your life! There's nothing you could do here! Ha! Ha! Ha! (then, The HURT get ready themselves to jump on the helicopter.)
As they wanted to run, Jiang Wei somehow did not run. He clutches his fist tightly, he don't want to run! Not without Lu Xun!
Ma Chao: Jiang Wei, what are you doing! Hey! (he saw Jiang Wei run towards the helicopter, charging the member of HURT, alone!)
Jiang Wei: You think you could get away with this? Think again! (his face now showing full anger! He was really serious and he is definitely not in a good mood!)
He runs toward with full force, holding his spear tightly, fight against the odd! The HURT quickly form a formation, letting Zhao Yun fight with him as he would be their first gear. Zhao Yun charge forward, he knew there's no turning back! Once they accept this job, they have to accomplish it, or else… As he charged fort, he use his special strike attack (which looks like DW6), using both of his weight and force to turn the spear around, and jumps up the air to hit the ground. As he thought he had done it, unexpectedly, he saw Jiang Wei jumps over him! Instead of using his own spear, Jiang Wei use the opportunity to grab Zhao Yun's spear and throw it to Dian Wei's direction (who still on the helicopter). Although Dian Wei tries to dodge, but it was too fast for him to evade and this cause his sleeve was stuck with the spear. He tried to get it out, but fail.
Jiang Wei gives them a smirk. As he land properly, he took out his weapon and continue to charge forward. Of course Zhou Yu and Sun Ce could not let this happen. Zhou Yu tried to use his strings to capture him but was dodged by him. As Zhou Yu try one more time, he manage to lock his weapon but Jiang Wei foresee that and use his strength to pull him aside which causing Zhou Yu flying towards Sun Ce who tried to use his Tonfa to strike Jiang Wei.
Since there was no one at the front line, Jiang Wei quickly keeps his weapon behind him and jumps towards the helicopter. At the same time, Lu Xun regain his consciousness. As he open his eyes, he thought he saw a familiar figure that he knew long time ago, but as he look clearly, it was Jiang Wei who now flying towards him, stretching his hand, hoping to get him out of there. He too wanted to stretch out his hand, hoping he could caught Jiang Wei's hand but for some reason his body won't listen to him. He feels so weak due to the previous 'battle'. "Move, body, move!" he thought to himself. Since he could not move at all, instead of letting them risk their life, he yell at Jiang Wei, "Don't worry about me! Just go! Go!"
When Jiang Wei heard what he just say, he carelessly let down his guard. As he thought of why, suddenly, he could feel that his leg was capture by something, and it was pulling him backward by force, sending him towards Sun Ce who now prepare to hit his head with his Tonfa. Just as Sun Ce wanted to do it, Huang Gai shoots at him, making Sun Ce could not focus at Jiang Wei but dodge the shoots. Since Sun Ce fail to do it, Zhou Yu just throw Jiang Wei's body towards Huang Gai and the others (which they successfully grab Jiang Wei on time!).
As Jiang Wei stands up, he wanted to charged forward again but was halt by his friends and as they need to run for their life! The HURT too started to retreats, since they had accomplish their mission, they decided to head back to their headquarter, brought their 'target' along with them. Just before they leave, Zhao Yun looks back at the Area, wondering if he could meet that young kid again as he had a feelings that he knew him long time ago.
Few seconds later, the bomb could be heard and its trembling around that area! Now, everything was destroy. There was nothing else left except some junks with some burning on it, scattering around. Huang Gai and the others manage to leaves the place, but since it was a huge one, most of them were sending flying away few miles from that area and unconscious.
Cao's Company, HURT Headquarter…
Once the helicopter arrive, it landed gracefully. Zhao Yun open the door, letting Zhou Yu and Sun Ce grab Lu Xun's arm (who are unconscious due to the shot from Zhou Yu), took him out from the helicopter and ready to take him in the headquarter. Just before they reach the entries, a man with a white long hair, wearing laboratories' outfit, appeared in front of them. He examines the boy and gives himself a weird laugh, "Oh, you got him, perfect. He he he… Take him in, and make sure he maintains that way…". Both Zhou Yu and Sun Ce just nod their head and take the boy in. As they went in, Zhao Yun and Dian Wei walk towards the man, "Professor Zhang Jiao, is there anything we could do?", Zhao Yun ask. Somehow Zhang Jiao just ignore them, leaving them behind and proceed to the Headquarters. Both Zhao Yun and Dain Wei just look at each other and shrug. They knew his style, whenever he got something new in his hand, he'll just ignore everything and play his part.
"Well done, you've done your job!" another man approach them who wears a weird French Helmet. "Sir Pang De! You should see how I done!" Zhao Yun said cockily but was interrupt by Dian Wei, "Yeah, yeah, that's easy for you to say, you almost outdone by that kid!". "Heh, heh, he's on my list now and we gonna meet each other again, someday…" Zhao Yun reply, his face really do tell them that he was looking forward to it. Both Dian Wei and Pang De just shook their head, they knew that he'll never changed as long as there was challenge out there. "Well, if you have finish your day dream, then go in, we got jobs to do!" Pang De turn away, giggle to himself and walk towards the headquarter, which later on follow by Zhao Yun and Dian Wei.
Back to Area 4...
When they regain their conscious, Ma Chao and the others notice that they were in a room, a nice and comfy one. As they try to stand, they notice that they were healed and they saw the ladies are here.
Gan Ning: Where are we? What happen? (he hold on his head as he felt a bit dizzy)
Xiao: Don't worry, this is our house! You know, you guys are the luckiest one. If we haven't reach there in time, you guys might died!
Ling Tong: Well, I guess we do appreciate with that… Thanks…(he looks at the others, they too appreciate their help) Anyway, where's Jiang Wei and…? (they heard some noises coming from lower floor)
They were curious, so they decided to went down and see what's going on.
Jiang Wei: (he stood up, he did not say anything but look at the huge tower which was right above their Area)
Da: No! That's definitely cannot! That's too dangerous!
Jiang Wei: We gotta go! We need to save him!
Da: But, what would you do then? They're too dangerous and further more, they're way stronger than you guys…
Ma Chao: So, what's going on here? (somehow, they did not reply and keep quiet)
Cao Ren: (Since the situation looks tense, he decided to explain the whole situation that they might face later) These guys wanted to go to Cao's Company.
Gan Ning: If that's the case, then let's go…
Cao Ren: (he just stand there, coolly)… that's easy to say, you see, Huang Gai wanted to go there because he wanted to had a revenge for his comrade, while Jiang Wei wanted to go there because he wanted to save that boy, but Da on the other hand…
Gan Ning: (he just remember Lu Xun) Oh right! Lu Xun! We gotta go and save him!
Da: No, No, No! You guys can't go! No one should go!
Huang Gai: Why not?!
All: Yeah, why not?! (all of them look at Da, which kinda freak her out)
Da: Well, because…
Lei: Uh…Excuse me, (now they look at her. She feel unease, but she need to told them) Sorry, I know I shouldn't interrupt but… there's something I need to tell you!
Da: Lei! Don't!
Lei: But mum! We need to tell them! At this state, he won't make it! (now they really curious, they need to know of why Da keeps stop them and what had happen during their previous fight)
Da: Lei, I won't allow you to say a word about this! We talk about that before!
Lei: (she knows how stubborn her mother was. Instead of pleading her, she ask Xiao for help) Aunt Xiao… please…
Xiao: (she looks at her sister, she knew how she feels too, but in the end, she decided to tell them) Sis, I think we should tell them. (she hold her sister's hand and comfort her)
Da: Xiao… (she looks at the others, they're hoping that she could told them what had happen. As she thinks through, she decided told everything she knew during their battle with HURT) You see, he came to our aid. He came to the shop and ask us to leave that Area. At first I'm don't believe him, but somehow, he seems very serious and we decided to follow him what he say. But…
Xiao: …we're being ambush! Just before we came in this Area, a group of soldiers in front of us and guess what!? Their leader was that boldy we meet at that old building!
Da: We thought we could fight them back, but they took Lei and Ying as hostage, and if we do something funny, then, they'll…
Gan Ning: Then, what happen? Tell us! (which he receive a slap on his head by Ling Tong)
Xiao: Hey! Just let us finish it first! Then, he stands out and ask for exchange, for our lives!
Xu Huang: Exchange? Why did he do that for?
Da: That one I don't know. He says something about they've been after him for so long and this time he'll surrender himself, and make a deal with them, which they need to let us go safely. Although they did do as he say, but the minutes we run for our lives, they shoot him something like sleeping shoot and took him away. We are so scare that time! We don't know what to do… (somehow they just kept quiet, they don't know what to do either)
Jiang Wei: …Did he say something before you left?
Lei: Yes, he did told us not to told you guys about it and he says that he could handle it by himself!
Ma Chao: And you really think that would work? (the girls just kept silent, they don't know what to do)
Lei: Anyway, please save him! He can't handle that just by himself!
Jiang Wei: (now he clutch his fist! He was angry to himself for not foresee that) Damn! Why?!
Ling Tong: I guess we can't just sit here right?
Gan Ning: Yeah, we definitely need to go there!
Cao Ren: But do you know where they'll keep him? And do you know where's the place? (they kept silence again. They never thought of this questions either. Just as they still wondering where should they head to, Jiang Wei gave them his idea)
Jiang Wei: I bet they'll keep him in that tower. (he show them the tower which he keeps look at it) That's their headquarter and I think they'll be there.
Xu Huang: That tower? But it's up there! How do we go there?
Jiang Wei: Don't worry, I got some plan in my head. If you guys really think you had prepare for this, then, we'll move out as soon as possible. But I need to warn you, once we went in there, there'll be no way out and this might be another hot battle as we might fight those guys again! So, are you guys prepare for this?
Ling Tong: So, you ready Gan Ning?
Gan Ning: Never better!
Ma Chao: Me too! The last fight might not gives us some advantage, but this time, we'll win for sure! Right Wei Yan?
Wei Yan: Yeahh…
Cao Ren: Hm… I'm in obviously… (Xu Huang just nod his head, he had prepare for this)
Huang Gai: I've been waiting for this moment! Besides, I need to revenge for my comrade too!
Jiang Wei: Ok, since we all are ready, then let's go!
They went out the house with full of pride. They've been waiting for this! Just before Jiang Wei went out, he told the girls to rest assure as they'll save Lu Xun out without any problem. As they pass through Area 3, they saw the whole situation. It was a disaster! Not only it was a mess, but it was gone! None of houses or building were maintain. But things happened and they need to let it go, no matter how.
Now, they had arrive Area 1, Jiang Wei lead them to a secret place which looks like a drain and it was a place that anyone could pass by.
Jiang Wei: Here we are! (they look at the place, it was nothing but only a ladder which lead it through to the upper town)
Ma Chao: Ok, I see only drain and ladder, but why are we here again? (not only he was the one who confuse, the others too are confuse)
Jiang Wei: It's simple. If we need to get ourselves up there, we need to climb this ladder…
Gan Ning: Oh no, Oh no no no! Not that again?! We climb this thing before and… it's tiring…! (of course he's not the only one who thinks this is fun due to the past experience)
Cao Ren: (he too doesn't want to climb) Is this the only way…?
Jiang Wei: Yes, unfortunately… Since Train Station was unavailable, this is the only way could get us up there…
Huang Gai: Ok, if that's the only way… then let's go! Up, up, up! (he start to shove them to climb the ladder)
While they're climbing up on the half way through, they had some questions in their mind and wondering that this could kill the time of boredom.
Xu Huang: Say, Jiang Wei, I've been wondering… what is HURT? You guys did talking about them for quite time… but I have no single clue about it…
Ma Chao: Yeah, I've been wanted to know that, what were they anyway? They don't look normal to me… or for us…(they really wanted to know, ever since they came to this world, they could feel that they still got lots of thing to learn from this earth)
Jiang Wei: (to him, he did not expect this question would come. He tried to finds a way to describe them) Well, HURT is an organization. They usually do lots of dirty thing behind the scene and they do lots of mean things like, killing, assassinate, cheat and so on. For them, they're Cao Cao's chest play. Whenever he ask for, they'll do it for him. But for what I know, they usually do thing secretly, but for some reason, they did not and they usually don't reveal themselves. Anyway, the reasons you think they don't look normal probably because the training they've been through. They had their own system of training and they always had a high expectation about it…
Ma Chao: Whoa, Jiang Wei, you seems to know it in details, didn't you?
Xu Huang: Yeah, it's like you've been walk through this situation before!
Jiang Wei: Well, I uh… (he don't know what to say. If he told them that he once was one of them, then, what kind of reaction they'll have? As he tries to find a way to cover it up, he was glad that Huang Gai help him out)
Huang Gai: Nah, who cares! You could Cao Ren too! He's been soldier before, so I bet he knew a thing or two about that!
Cao Ren: Actually, I'm not quite sure either… Although I did work with them once, well you know… they're not a person that are worthy to be your friend. So, you can count me out!
Gan Ning: Gee, that's a pain! I was hoping you could tell us more about them!
Jiang Wei: Don't worry, everything will be clear once we went in…
Ling Tong: Did you just say something?
Jiang Wei: Uh, nothing!
Huang Gai: (he talk softly so that none of them could hear what they say) Jiang Wei, are you sure about this? They might know…
Jiang Wei: No, it's alright! I know someday this day would come, and I've prepare for that! Don't worry… (he tried to keep his worried face, but Huang Gai knew that he had to confront it someday)
Gan Ning: By the way, why those guy wanted Lu Xun so bad? Did he done something to them?
Ma Chao: I bet he was one them, that's why he say he'll surrender to them…
Ling Tong: But that doesn't mean they had to shoot him down? They could just arrest him long time ago…
Xu Huang: Or, he was a prisoner once? He manage to escape from the cell and they recapture him again!
Ling Tong: You making him sounds like he was a dangerous man!
Xu Huang: Nah, just a hunch…
While they're talking about what's the reason that Lu Xun being caught, Jiang Wei just kept silent along the way, he knew the exact answer of why he's being arrested and he knew that someday these truths would reveal literally.
Alright! That's all for this chapter!
On next chapter, will they successfully rescue Lu Xun? And the truths shall reveal, but what was it? Once these truths reveal, what kind of fate will it lead to? Besides, is this the truth that they think they could accept?
Watch out for more! Stay tune!
