Chapter 5 - IV. Lau Spring II.

03:52 AM

Methedeces was lying on the ground at the gate of Cratter Spring as he suddenly wakes after the phenomena inside Lau Spring.

"I-I haven't got back to the camp".

"Everyone looks tired..and few more than earlier".

; Methedeces looking around the Cratter Spring.

//Setting from Lean's squad.

"Hey, have you heard the news? Lau Spring was suddenly attacked".

;Ises looking worried with Lean, Maxx, Axis, and Sierinn.

"Did you?"

;Lean suddenly asked.

"Well, I do. I was about to leave a minute earlier but a euzanian approached me saying, there's an attack from Lau Spring, some looks terrified".

;Ises speaks as he was looking around the euzanians around them.

"Lau Spring.."

;With a deep voice, Lean whispered.

"Hey, shouldn't we help who's there? We made this squad to kill those bunch of nitros. Don't tell me we're just going to listen here and do nothing"

;Sierinn.

"I don't think we'll make it, it's already 3 AM, Maxx was now sleeping".

;Ises replied to Sierinn.

"Uhm? then? Are we going to follow that sleeping brat? We could just leave him here if he doesn't want to go, Ises, don't tell me, you're afraid "

; Sierinn said to Ises while glaring at him.

"Of course I'm not!"

;Ises shouted.

"Damn, keep it down".

;Maxx suddenly said.

"We're going to Lau Spring, but not this time, it's probably over now, we could just check it tomorrow".

;Lean said to his companions.

There was a huge smoke that covered Lau Spring. Some of the nitros and soldiers managed to escape, but some soldiers were down, especially division C. The area was still under investigation because of the nitros that came from the north, which is from the Ubactia.

Ubactia was under investigation of Euzanian people of the Warrior Ieuzen for the cause of nitros coming that place. People were evacuated as the investigation begins.

06:12 AM

Lean together with Maxx, Ises, Sierinn, and Axis gathered together going at the Lau Spring

"Woah, do nitros blast off cold steams?"

;Asked Ises, looking above the huge smoke from Lau Spring.

"I don't think so.."

;Lean answered.

While walking towards Lau Spring, a soldier form division B interrupted Lean and his friends.

"Its over.. there. You all should be stopping by now. We don't allow visitors entering that state. It isn't a tourist place".

;Soldier from division B looking exactly at the Lau Spring as he was talking to the five.

"We're trained. We have responsibility for this. How could we fight back nitros without having any clue of what they look like or how massive the catastrophe is".

;Lean replied to the soldier while looking at him.

"Yeah. Euzanndys.. they all turned into dust and ashes, like there's no traces behind it once they're killed".

;The Soldier replied, looking at Lean.

"Dust and ashes??"

; with a surprise, Ises said.

"Correct. So there's no point looking over or checking that place. We aren't sure if there's any nitros left inside Lau Spring when it started to blow some huge smoke, we don't even know where it came from, but we can't look inside because we can't see anything".

; Told the soldier who was looking away.

"Im-possible.."

;Lean said as he was looking directly at Lau Spring's direction.

"Looks like danger, should we head back now?"

;Maxx asked.

"Why do you always force us to go back? the morning when we should help people inside Lau, we didn't even insisted holding back because of you sleeping. Do even have guts to protect your homeland?!"

;Sierinn asked to Maxx feeling regretful of what happened in the morning.

"I-I do have guts. Its just, it isn't right right time to act like superheroes, you, you always wanted to be a hero 'aye Sierinn? but ends up getting late and now blaming me? why don't you risk it yourself, in terms like this, we only have weapons. We aren't immortals."

;Maxx replied to Sierinn while yelling.

"So you're just saying that you're scared. Why don't you yell it now? Are you also scared people here would hear you claiming that you're afraid?!!"

;As Sierinn yelled back to Maxx.

"Are you that narrow minded that couldn't understand my point???"

-Maxx asked Sierinn furiously.

"You brat!!"

; Sierinn, that was about to punch Maxx in his face.

"Hey"

"Hey!!"

"Kids.. don't play here, like you can't hear each other while facing front of your damn faces. who knows nitros might be awaken by you stupid loud noises, we're all tired here. It'll be your duty to wipe off those sh*ts without the help from any of us. If you don't want to happen, shut your mouths up and just go back from where you came from".

;Lt. Col. Viesse said as he was walking towards them

"We're sorry, sir. It's my fault for just watching them shouting at each other. Best of luck, we are heading out, sorry"

;Lean said while bowing to Lt. Col. Viesse.

Lean and his friends were heading out, going back to Nym.

"What the hell you we're both thinking? starting a fight over a finished war? idiots. "

;Lean said to both Maxx and Sierinn behind him, while looking down.

"It isn't my fault thinking for all of your safety. I can't avoid that"

;Maxx said as his voice got lowered.

"I can't keep up hiding and hiding over things like this, I too also have to protect, and in order for that to happen, I shouldn't be sitting my ass down waiting for some news to be spread out.. for me to have answers, I need to stay part of the action"

; Sierinn replied to both Lean and Maxx.

"I understand both of you, but I think there's an appropriate time to be done something. Calm yourselves down. Ises will be the one to cook meal for us today"

;Axis said to Lean and Maxx looking at Ises.

"Yes. I'm the one who's going to cook, and all of you should find ingredients. If, you do want a delicious meal to eat"

;Ises said to his comrades.

"Of course!! I want some energy before I fight and face all of those stupid demons"

;Axis said with joy.

As the squad proceeds, a part from Millwalls, which Methedeces visits after the battle from Lau Spring, as he looks at the doomed places with his naked eye, not far from his sight, he saw a man facing backwards, looking at the tree, Methedeces walked towards the man, and started a conversation.

"I lost someone too you know, it was yesterday. I was just looking exactly at him being eaten and torn apart. How stupid of me not fighting back knowing that I was trained".

; Methedeces spoke as he was also facing the tree beside the man.

"We all lose someone, something, or anything important or unimportant to us. Sometimes we just notice those important for us when they were loosing. And those unimportant to us were just nothing when lost or taken away. It always happen, and what we should do as we are alive.. should keep on battling over a stupid war because we are over something".

;The man replied to Methedeces while still looking at the tree.

"So.. what should we do then? We keep battling over a stupid war because we are over something. How..

how do we prevent this?"

; Methedeces asked the man, now looking at him.

"I don't know. Even though you don't care at all, you will keep on loosing something. Its just, you don't have care at all. So its futile. You also can't stop anything to take everything from you. But you yourself, you'd know if you are loosing who you are. In order for you to take that back, is to let go of anything that chains you."

;The man said to Methedeces while still looking at the tree.

"People were forbid entering this place, specially when you do stand as a harmless person, how'd you get in? and why are you here anyway?" 

;Methedecesasked to the man standing beside him.

"Hah! Do you think I threatened them?".

;The man asked, looks to Methedeces while smiling.

Methedeces was shocked because the man finally turned his face to him.

"U-uhm.. no, you, don't like so terrifying at all".

; Methedeces replied.

"But I did.

..By my cries of course! who would have thought they'd feel shameful of this man who wants to look at this land where his family were back then".

;The man said, and looks back again to the tree.

"I'm.. sorry. I didn't mean to.."

"No. Hahahaha it's not your fault kid, don't be sorry. You don't have to blame yourself.. It's just a matter of fact, that.. things, will do be destroyed".

;As the looks back and walks away.

"Strange".

; Methedeces speaks after a breath out.

Methedeces looks at the tree from bottom to top as he too, walks outside the gate of Lau Spring.

/sigh.

"Do I really need some rest after what happened yesterday? I really think I don't deserve it"

; Methedeces looking at his foot.

"Uhm, yeah, you do"

"Oh, I-uh.. I didn't mean to eves drop buuut.. yeah. After all that battle inside the sh*tty place, you do need a rest"

;Selene leaned beside Methedeces while standing on the rock having her hands at her pocket.

"You startled me. You didn't know everything what happened inside Lau. You..

you won't even think I need some rest".

; Methedeces replied as he was looking so down.

"Really? Damn. Well, if you don't feel like it, then don't rest".

;Selene said as she was heading towards inside Millwalls.

"Argh. I didn't expect that coming"

;He looks back and paused for a while as he called for Selene.

"Hey"

"Yeah?"

"Why are you here? Isn't this place closed?"

; Methedeces asked within distance.

"Why were you also here?"

;Selene replied as she looks half of her body back.

"I-I don't know" /ashamed.

"It doesn't matter"

"I see. Then my answer would also be it doesn't matter".

;Selene replied as she looked back and continue walking.

"Urgh. Annoying"

Methedeces's eyes looked at the left side.

"Actually, I'm here because I wanted to see the damages that the euzanndys left"

as Selene speaks from the distance.

"It does seems like it. Was your family involved?"

;Methedecesasked from a distance.

"Ha! I don't even have one. I just went here to see all of these, that finally

turned face to Methedeces as she was smiling.

"I can enter Millwalls!!!"

"You sound surprised"

/chuckles.

; Methedeces, while looking at Selene.

"Argh. Yes. I've been wondering what's with Millwalls right now and how is it recovering, but I guess it's just the tree here gr---"

;Selene talking as she was interrupted.

"Hey! Out there! You two! you're both not supposed to enter the area under investigation!!"

;A soldier shouted behind, near gate. Calling Methedeces and Selene.

"R-right, sorry"

; Methedeces answered with respect towards the soldier.

"Tch. How many more years will it take to recover this damn land. It's been a year since now, and it was still under investigation? How come the people here were so slow figuring things out".

;Selene said while walking beside Methedeces as she was looking down with the meeting eyebrows.

"Hey, it's not that easy since we are not that civilized land and--"

"Yeah. Exactly. We aren't because of how people were being slow and just waiting for some orders"

;Selene, looks at Methedeces straight up

"Uhm, I know what you are talking about".

/Paused.

"Maybe they're just being obedient. That's all"

; Methedeces looked at Selene and paused walking.

"That's being naive, don't you think?"

;Selene.

"Uh--"

"HEY WHAT'S TAKING SO LONG!!?"

;The soldier shouted with frustration.

Methedeces and Selene proceeded walking until they reach Millwalls gate.

"Right. I see that guards here were down, but people shouldn't be wandering around here and--"

"Yeah. We're sorry, it's just that we are also curious, Euzanian people of the Warrior Iuzen doesn't even give a word, we are here to help fighting too you know"

;Selene /looking down as she said it to the soldier.

"But it doesn't mean that you are curious, you are free to do something you'd like to discover. Especially when there are things important involved in it. Don't you think so?"

;The soldier asked as he was looking at Selene.

"Look--"

"We're heading out. Again we are sorry for not having a consent, this will not happen again"

; Methedeces interrupted Selene.

"Should be"

;Replied the soldier.

While they were walking out Selene was glaring on Methedeces.

"What?"

; Methedeces paused and looked at Selene.

"Huh?"

"You keep on looking at me this whole time and I think you're mad, you really wanted to put up a fight right there with a soldier do you?"

;Asked Selene straight up.

"What?"

;Selene asked with a tired looking face.

"Urgh. And now you act like nothing happened, how can you stand it"

; Methedeces, turns his head at Selene.

"I mean, I don't want that *fight* you were talking about the soldier, of course damn I respect them, but I also wanted to talk to them about that, I don't have any opportunity to do that so--"

;Selene replied while her head down.

"And you just grabbed the opportunity to talked to him like that?"

;Debby asked furiously.

"Argh! what's wrong with you? don't act like you are not concerned about what happened in there 7 years ago and putting up every euzaniars into a battle without telling them exact points!"

;Yelled Selene, turned her head to Methedeces.

"Of course I am!! and what do you mean by exact points?! do you know anything? are you better that anyone?? come on tell me!!"

;/halt. Methedeces screamed in confusion and frustration.

"Shut up. And yeah, of course I don't know what's with that exact points because as far as I remembered, or hey, to be exact,

I. Do. Not. Remember. Anything. Because they told us nothing!! got it???"

; /sigh.Selene turned her whole body facing Methedeces.

"Are you one of us?"

;Asked Methedeces.

"Hell no. Trainee? I am not. I work with my own ways in order to survive living. Things in there sucks".

;Selene replied with her eyes looking at her left side.

"Well stop talking if don't know about anything, it'll turn out that your dumb"

; Methedeces replied as he continues to walk forward.

"Dumb my ass, I'm correct of what I've said and I will never take it back as long as I live"

;Selene, followed Methedeces.

"I hope we live".

; Methedeces whispered.

"Ha! Duhh! of course we will, how stupid are you to not believe in living? all you have to do is survive"

; Put her arms in Methedeces's shoulder.

"Surviving is sacrificing. Anyone, anything, or whatever"

; Methedeces said with a down voice, looking at the old road with plants growing between paving stones while walking.

"I see, you're afraid. But you can't go on if you're afraid, if you do want to survive, stop being hesitant, got it?? meal is on me, yay!! come on!!"

;she ecstatically replied.

"Sheesh. You're weird".

; Methedeces, as he looked at Selene.

They both went to the market with stalls, selling cheap foods and drinks

"Uhm, so what do you want?"

;/halt. Selene asked.

"Whatever you can buy, I'm not a picky eater anyway"

; Methedeces replied to Selene looking at the cheap selling stalls.

"Let's try that. It looks like small balls I haven't tried that yet, but it looks tasty especially with that delicious sauce"

;Selene. /pointing out the Equibarry stall.

Equibarry- the food's name.

"Alright then"

;replied Methedeces. /Continued walking.

"Okay sooo, how many do you want? I believe this one named Equibarry, as written above this stall"

;Selene. /while looking at the Equibarries.

"That's correct lady"

; /smiled. The old woman who sells.

"I'll have 3. I don't have any appetite"

; Methedeces replied.

"Oh, We'll have 11 then!"

;Selene said to the vendor.

"Coming right up!"

;Old woman Jesse.

"Hey, isn't that too much? you're going to have 8?"

; Methedeces asked to Selene. /as he was surprised from her oders.

"Come on man! I'm hungry, I haven't eaten yet"

;Selene replied to Methedeces.

"Jeez"

"Here you go!! Please enjoy, that will be 22 heros"

;Old woman Jesse. /hands out the orders in a paper bag.

"Thanks"

; Methedeces.

"Heh, enjoy! by the way, you haven't told me your name yet"

;Selene said while her mouth is full.

"Huh? what?"

;Replied Methedeces.

/chomps.

"Argh, I said you haven't spoken your name yet, I don't know you"

;Said Selene.

"Like I also know you?"

; Methedeces said to Selene.

"So what's your name?"

;Selene asked.

"Methedeces. Methedeces Andrawn."

"Methe-who?"

"Methe-deces."

"That's very polite of you to introduce your name, I'm Selene. Just Selene"

;smiled

"Selene? where did you came from? you said you aren't one of us, so do you travel alone? or it just happened that you met me in now where?"

;Asked Methedeces.

"Blue Stjonur. And yes, I do travel alone.. and do met you now where"

;Selene replied. /walking.

"Oh, I see. Don't you worry your family? travelling alone? or you go home before sunset?"

"Hah! I don't have any home.. nor family. No one will be worried if I'm not at my place before sunset, I can sleep wherever I want, it's not that I'm a beggar or what, I make living. I'm just alone".

;Selene said as she took her last bite.

"Oh, uhm.. sorry about that. Glad you tell me. Friends? I'm sure you have friends".

"Ye-yeah.. I do, but.. that was before. I lost them and..

interrupted by the soldiers running away, chasing thief

"Hey! there's a damn thief!!"

;Selene shouted. /ran and followed the soldiers.

"What a good timing to be friends with someone I just met. Hey!! wait up!!"

;Followed Selene.

The known thief was chased by Euzanians people of the Warrior Iuzen together with Selene and Methedeces.

Thief ; jumps through boxes and stalls and continually ran

things got messy. The thief was lost in the eyes of the Euzanians people of the Warrior Iuzen

/halt.

/pants.

"I'll be after him!"

;shouted Selene as the turned back and looked at the soldiers paused.

"I'm with her!"

; Methedeces.

"Meth!"

"Hey! Look straight! he'll be going over those houses!"

"Stop right there you damn thief!!"

"Bastard!!"

/pants.

/the thief paused.

"I-I'm not a thief, you sh*ts"

"Then what do we call you?!"

;Selene

" I bought this!! I don't know why the vendor didn't gave me a damn paper bag that made me look like I stole something!!"

"Then why'd you run?! isn't that too obvious to look suspicious?"

;asked Methedeces.

"You wouldn't understand. I don't even have any evidence to prove my innocence, besides, my only option is to run and not to get caught, I'm sure they wouldn't recognize me. I mean, look at them, they took a break, how they were supposed to catch me like that?!"

"Ah, yeah. You're correct. BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO RUN LIKE THAT BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY EVIDENCE THAT YOU. DIDN'T. STOLE. ANYTHING!!!!!"

;Shouted Selene /pants.

"Geez. Calm down, if you can't understand me either, it's better to leave. I promise, I'm as innocent, as those free 5 years old kids"

"The vendor shall talk then"

; Methedeces /glaring.

"Wha? What??! I don't have time for that! I have kids to feed!! See ya!"

; ran.

"Damn? do you think he's innocent??"

;asked Selene.

"I don't know, I haven't seen his face, what should we do?"

;Asked Methedeces.

"Argh. We let him go away, but yeah. Basically because of the word, ' I have kids to feed' which made me stop to go chase after him"

;Selene /continues panting.

"We should tell them that he didn't stole anything and let the vendor be questioned his innocence"

; Methedeces eplied.

"R-right"

;Selene, stood right back up, turns around and walked straight to the stalls.

"Sh*t do you even know what he bought? or stole?"

; Paused. Selene asked to Methedeces.

"Damn. I didn't saw anything he carried, I was busy catching up to his face that I didn't even saw"

; Methedeces replied, shocked in confusion.

"What are the odds? should we also run?"

;Asked Selene.

"We should wait and tell them he didn't steal anything"

; Methedeces replied.

"Yeah, and how?"

;Asked Selene.

"You can leave that to me.."

; Methedeces.
