Alterin Saga: Biohazard
Episode 19: Ice Naraka

Alexander Rave

The six of us took cover under one of the rubble of a building destroyed by the battles of Nine and Bill. While we were observing the two of them from afar, Sora and Olivia kept fighting.

"Come, Olivia. We need that information. The fate of humanity is in our responsibility," Sora continues to persuade Olivia.

"will not. I told you, Alexander Rave has to use his abilities if you want the tape"

Sora looked at me irritatedly, then he grabbed my collar and slapped my face slowly over and over, "You are this.. Why can you be so careless to the point of an accident? If I had driven back then, you'd be fine"

Sora is driving? What does that mean, we're in the same car?

"Olivia, I'll give you one last chance. Give me the tape, or I'll—" Sora took off my collar.

"What's? You gonna kill me?"

"Or I'll destroy your entire business and I'll make sure you're a bad-ass bum in this town" Sora threatened.

"Please. I'm not responsible for that business anymore. Just look at the cafe," Olivia pointed to one of the buildings that had been destroyed and fused with the rubble of another building.

Sora just fell silent, then joined us and observed Nine and Bill. He looks really upset.

"That guy is really stubborn. Just like her husband," Sora snatched Laura's binoculars and put them on.

"Hey— Shit," Laura was upset. But he grabbed his bag and took another binocular.

"What about Bill?" ask Sora.

"We can't see it. They're covered in dust and buildings" Sam said.

"Then why are you still here?"

The four of us looked at each other. Sora sighed. Then he moved and went closer to the battlefield.

"Wait us!" me, Sam, Miko, and Laura immediately followed Sora. Leaving Olivia behind.

"Is it okay if Olivia's not coming?" ask Miko.

"Well.just let him. I'm sure he'll be safe, even if there's a tsunami going on"

The sound of booms became clearer when we were close to the battlefield. I who did not pay attention to the road, did not realize a crack and stumbled.

"Hey, be careful if walking—" Sora looked at me. He seemed very surprised.

"What's wrong?" my many. I think he saw something terrible.

"We can get that tape now. But we have to help Bill first"

...---...

I heard a bang, but somehow I didn't feel any pain. When I opened my eyes, Nine had already disappeared from before me.

"What's going on?"

"Hey, Bill! You can still move, right?" Sora emerges from behind the crushed concrete mound, then Sam, Miko, and Laura also approach.

"You okay?" ask Miko.

"I'm doing fine. Nine. He's a Project too. Serial number is 09" I said.

"Nine is a Project? Well, this problem might get clearer. He must have been after the Mathanus Laboratory, too" Sora said.

I tried to get up, but my strength weakened. Standing up is too heavy for me.

"Hm... Apparently a Juggernaut can fall? I just found out" Sora mocked me.

"When was I called Juggernaut?"

Laura and Sam took me. Then I asked, "Where is Nine? You seen her?"

"Nil? We didn't see it after Rave fired something" Sora said.

"Rave?" I'm looking for him, "Where is he?"

"Just calm. He's taking care of Nine"

"Nil? He fought against her?! Sora, Nine it—"

"Having Creation ability, right? I-i know. But I'm sure Rave can deal with it. The story has just begun today"

...---...

Alexander Rave

"You're strong, too. What's yourname?" ask Nine in front of me. He still put the horses in position. I think I can defeat this monster.

"Alexander Rave, Project 01" I said.

"intriguing. At least this time, you won't let me down, will you? Not like Bill Clinton"

"Yes. I'll beat you here, Nine"

My hands started to clench. Snow started falling around me. But I don't feel the cold one bit. That's obvious right now. Because I'm Project 01.
