Chapter 4 - Puppet with no strings

[Syah, Dynamite, and Calio investigated who's David Mills are... From the investigation, they found out that David Mills, work under someone name Rysand. In a mission "codename is Ice-ray", They still don't know what's the meaning of the code, but it must have something to do with David Mills elements power]

[They also, found the one that controls David is someone name Jestring. He's the host of the traveling carnival they don't know what did he do, but whatever he does he's up to no good. Jestring also one of the members of Tenenox. No one knows anything about Tenenox, only Syah knows the meaning of the name, but still, he only knows the name,]

{Tenenox is a combination of Tenebris (Darkness) and Nox (Night) give the meaning Darkness of the night}

Calio: So... What should we do...

Syah: We have to go to the Carnival before he arrives next months

Dynamite: Are you crazy?!

Syah: What's the matter?

Dynamite: Well, I don't know. Maybe the last guy that goes there when missing (Passive-aggressive)

Calio: Yea, It's a bad idea... We might end up like him

Syah: Well, to be honest, whoever David is, he did the right thing if he doesn't go early something else might happen

Dynamite: But in the end, he sacrifices himself.

Calio: I don't know If I want to sacrifices myself for some random guy...

Dynamite: Yea

[Syah slam the table]

Syah: Fine, I'll do it myself...

[Syah walk to the door and throw his coat at the sofa]

Calio: ...

Dynamite: ...

Calio: We might have upset him

Dynamite: Something, is not right...

[Calio walk to the sofa and pick up Syah's coat suddenly something fell out it pocket, an amulet]

[The amulet has 4 different colors. Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow, the color Red and Green shine bright but the color Yellow doesn't shine... The weird thing is the color Blue flicker]

[Calio... Just stood there, look at the amulet until Dynamite goes to him]

Dynamite: Cal, what you got there...

Calio: This... Amulet, it looks like it has something to do with Syah

Dynamite: Let me check

[Dynamite touches the amulet while Calio still holding it. The color Red and Green shine even brighter]

Dynamite: What the-

[Meanwhile, Syah walks alone to the carnival... He doesn't have licenses for driving yet, and he can't use his power to fly there because he's in the public]

Syah: (Damn... I know I should get driving licenses, but I have too many works... It's a good thing that the enemy didn't know me yet so I can stay incognito)

[He walks deep and deeper until there's no one around him...]

Syah: (Why I feel like I'm walking through a forest... This street is too empty)

[Silent surround the place]

Syah: (Something is wrong here it felt like it's night right now)

[Syah realize what has happened... The moment he thought of night]

Syah: (Night... Nox... Darkness... Tenebris) Tenenox!

[The crows scatter from the tress]

[Out of the blue, Syah heard the sound from the bushes nearby. Someone is following him]

[Since there's no one around him he can use his power]

Syah: "Incendium"

[Syah swing his arm a slice of flame come out and hit the bushes burn it in the process]

[Nothing come out of the bushes]

Syah: That's weird

???: Hehehehe~

[A laugh of a child can be heard through the area]

Syah: Yep, Something is wrong

[Suddenly a child comes out from behind biting Syah's shoulder. He throws the child away, the child speaks in a different voice it deeper than a normal child, it sounds like a man talking through it]

The child: Who might you be... One of the Rysand commander. If so, he sure does the work fast,

Syah: ...

The child: Not the type guy that loves to chat, huh. Well, who cares you trespassing this area... Now you have to die

[Syah jumps back, and swings his arm again trying to hit the string around it but]

Syah: (What's this... He doesn't have strings around him...)

The child: You miss... Or you intentionally miss

Syah: (This is not good he might be the guy who controlled David)

The Child: You have, strong mental... Tell what's your name

Syah: ...

The Child: It's rude to not introduce yourself... Oh well

[The child lunge toward Syah and try to bite him]

Syah: "Aqua- Imbbulla"

[A giant bubble burst around Syah push anyone near him]

The Child: Hmmm... Fire and Water... What a weird combination and yet you can use both powers

Syah: (Shit, I used too much of my powers)

[The bubble slowly getting small]

The Child: Look like you can only use some of your power. I can help you with that

[The Child destroys the bubble and bite Syah by his neck. Syah scream while a black aura consuming his body]

[The Child suddenly started to scream and run away. The voice from before never to hear again, lights begin to shine just like the sun just about to rise]

Syah: What... Just happen... My head hurt... I have to contact Cal and the other... I... Can't walk anymore...

[Syah falls to the floor after he calls Calio]

[In the phone]

Calio: Syah! Perfect timing, the amulet!

[Syah didn't reply]

Calio: Syah? Syah? Dyna, start the car!

[Beep]

[2 hours pass, they arrive at Syah location... They were shocked to found Syah lying on the floor, no wasting anytime they drag Syah inside the car and drive back to the labs]

[Meters, away from the labs, Dynamite sees a silhouette of a man right in front of the door... For the first look, he thought it was Ben, Dynamite hit break when he saw who it was... It's David waiting for them to come back]

[Because of Syah still out of consciousness, Calio went out left Dynamite to take care of Syah. Calio walk toward David slowly, he saw Calio and smile so widely]

David: Welcome back

Calio: What you want...

David: C'mon now, I been waiting here for a long time at least show me some respect

Calio: People like you shouldn't get any respect...

David: Woah, scary (mockingly). Listen, you punch me last time we met... It hurt till this day, you think I gonna ignore that?

Calio: If I can punch you once I can do again...

David: Try me

[In anger... Calio throws a punch toward David. He jus smiling there like he's accepting the punch, suddenly Syah appear out of nowhere blocking the punch]

Calio: Syah?!

David: Took you long enough

Syah: Shut the hell up

Calio: Syah... Is that you?

Syah: He... He... Hahaha. Me? Syah? Hahaha!

Calio: No... What happens to you?

[Syah grab Calio by his head]

Syah: Look here buddy, I'm not your friend neither this guy right here...

Calio: Then... Who are you...

Syah: Call me, Rellik... Rellikhays

David: Heh, you lucky my body is not here or I would beat the shit out of you...

Calio: What happened to... Frog... I thought you were with him...

Syah: Oh, him? Look behind you

[Calio turn around and sees the car already in pieces]

Calio: Frog!!

[Calio run toward the car]

Rellik: Man, I'm getting hang of this body

David: Hehehe... I guess we'll be seeing each other again... Calio... Hehe... What a nice name

[David and Rellik disappear in the dark mist]

Calio: Frog!! Frog!! Can you hear me?!

Dynamite: I'm right behind you...

[A tree behind Calio turn into Dynamite]

Calio: *phew* You're safe

Dynamite: Of course... I'm. I saw everything...

Calio: ...

Dynamite: Syah is not himself... This time not by a string...

Calio: Did he... Say anything before he transforms into that...

Dynamite: His final word was "Don't search for me, forget about me, focus on the task in hand"

Calio: He knows... This going to happen... Something must have happened before he was knocked up

Dynamite: Let's get inside, we need to get ready for the next months before the carnival arrives...

Calio: If only I followed him...

Dynamite: It's already in the past... We can't do anything... Right now, to safe Syah, we need to figure out how to use the amulet
