Ares: Never Grow Up
S2-Tabu Town!

"Goddess of the sky, means I can control the weather" Vani replied in a proud tone again. Riot just nodded and said oh.

Well, it's okay, later we also know what our strength means.

POV: Ares

After the painful and mysterious viral mutation, you continue your journey to Tabu City. Along the way we often talked to each other, as usual. Riot is crowded with Vani, and I'm just laughing like Safa, while Ken? The driver gets angry while driving. I don't know how long we've been driving, but for sure, we've been out of Ansorteri City. Now the remaining scenery was the area of the river filled with trash and other pungent smells.

Krittt!

We all stopped talking, and looked at Ken who stopped the car.

"What's wrong?" ask Vani confused.

"Wouldn't Taboo City still be far enough?" safa asked while looking ahead. When I looked ahead, I now understand why Ken stopped the car.

Dead end.

Actually the road is not really deadlocked, it's just that this road is buried by hundreds of building debris that mounts. I opened the car door and got down from there. My eyes stared at the rubble from the top end.

"If it was this big, being blown up would not be able to. Inevitably we have to climb," I said while looking far up. Soon the others came down and looked at me.

"Why climb? Can't I teleport?" ask plain Riot. That instant I realized, right away, Riot can teleport, and I can fly. Why climb?

"But, can you see how thick this debris is? I have to guess how many meters I use to teleport later," Riot told me. I nodded and flew straight up.

Whus!

Hmmm, all right, let's see!

I stared at the rubble intently, until finally my eyes could see an empty highway.

About 400 meters.

Whus!

I went back down and told Riot straight away. "The debris here is about 400 meters thick, it looks like we will be safe if we teleport 500 meters ahead" I told Riot. The boy nodded and started touching the wall of the car.

"Hm? Get in the car, it'll be easier later" Riot said, staring at us in confusion. I who just realized immediately nodded and invited the others to get back into the car.

Brak!

"We are ready!" morale say. From outside Riot nodded his head. In the next instant, the scene I saw suddenly turned unclear, it even felt like my head was dizzy and I also felt nauseous.

Really too .. In hindsight, this was the first time I teleported in a car. Normal teleportation alone is a bit nauseous, now because in the car .. it feels even more nauseous!

Bruk!

"Aw ... tumben landing is not smooth?" I murmured as I felt my lower body sprain. From the outside Riot looked panicked and peered several times from the window.

"Hahaha, maybe because this was also the first time Riot had brought a car for teleportation, so he had not been able to land well. Here I treat first," said Ken while touching my waist.

Blars!

He lit his green fire on a small scale, and began to heal the pain in my waist earlier. I breathed a sigh of relief after the pain finally disappeared.

"Gee! Thanks Ken! It feels better!" I said to Ken. He just smiled then opened the car door beside him, I also immediately opened the car door beside me.

DEG!

"UK! YO!" I tried to close my nose and mouth as soon as I got out of the car. Riot, Vani, and Safa had also covered her nose and mouth.

The smell in this place makes no sense.

Odor ... What kind of disgusting is this?!

I looked left and right, looking for where this bad smell came from.

Deg.

My gaze stopped on a large hole with a rectangular shape. With a hesitant step, I ventured to see what was inside.

The heart beats more and more unsteady when it sees black patches and some other strange objects.

And sure enough ...

The contents of the pit are corpses.

Bruk!

I immediately fell down at that moment, my knee immediately suffocated without energy. My arms were trembling in shock at what I saw.

I know this is a bad city but .. hasn't this gone too far?!

"Whoops!" Vani's approaching voice brought me back to reality. A small, delicate hand began to pull my body away from the hole. When I looked back, it turned out that it was Ken who attracted me.

I started to sigh in relief, probably because I was relieved, so it felt like my head was now a little dizzy.

"Are you okay?" asked Ken without looking at me.

"Woah .. I didn't expect the city to be this bad" Safa said with some flies on her finger.

"You .. collect information?" I asked Safa. The woman nodded and went back to talking to the flies in her hand.

"Wait-so you mean Taboo City is like this?! HUH UH?! WHY ARE WE EVEN HERE?!" Vani started screaming in panic while holding on to the edge of the car. Riot kept quiet and kept his nose closed.

"There is no other way but through this city, because it inevitably means we have to go through here" Ken explained. Vani instantly fell silent, and seemed to think of something.

"Can't Ares make a boat to cross the sea?" ask Vani. Silence instantly swept over the place.

I really don't think.

"Oh! But it can't be done either! Around this City there were two troughs that were deep enough, and created a whirlpool. So if you want to use a boat, inevitably we have to turn later. And it will take more time, even up to 2 weeks," explained Safa suddenly. Vani was instantly silent and pouted, her brows furrowed and her eyes glazed over. Well, I also understand the situation, where there are people who are not depressed if the situation of the city is like today.

Maybe the natives of this town?

"Well ... there's nothing to be sorry about now, we can only go through it to the end!" Ken put his hands together and spoke quite loudly to us. I immediately stood up and started cleaning my dusty pants.

"We leave the car here, pack the important stuff, we have to go to an inconspicuous place" Ken said as he began removing some items from the car and others. Riot and Safa immediately help Ken while Vani and I find a way to get out of here.

"Looks like we can get through here, come on." I pointed at a small alley on the right side of the car.

The cring!

I made a grenade, after Ken and the others finished taking out the important item, I immediately unsealed the grenade and threw it towards the car.

THE DUAR!

BLAR!

"Come on!" take me to everything. The five of us ran straight towards the alley, leaving our car on fire.

POV: Author

Cars are burning with no people, and strange grenade marks are out of nowhere. Calling some weird kid who was busy looking at that car.

"Well, did we just have a guest?" ask a girl with right and left pigtail hair, which is pink.

"seems like? But I've only seen a car like this for the first time. Do any of them have the ability to assemble cars?" asked a boy with round glasses.

"They're interesting kids, but is there a reason they came to this town?" ask a boy who wears a green leather jacket.

"Eitherway? But they can get into this city, even with their cars. Do they have the ability to move things through space and time gaps? What is his name .. ah yes! Teleportation!" said a girl with a wooden stick on her back.

"Maybe they're great kids. Well, even if they can get in easily, it doesn't mean they can get out easily later, too" said another boy, who was just sitting on the ground while looking at that burning car.

POV: Ares

"Huh .. hah .. hah, seems like it's far enough?" asked Vani with a breath of breath.

"Yes ... seems to have it, we can breathe calmly now," said Safa who carried a large bag on her back. Safa started to whistle slowly, before long there were a lot of ants coming.

"Can you tell us the safe way?" safa asked the ants. I turned my face away and now looked at Riot who looked puzzled.

"Why?" I asked Riot. The child with blue hair turned to me, his eyes looking a little confused but also hesitant.

"It feels like it's being watched. Is it just my feelings?" muttered Riot while looking at me. I goosebumps as soon as I hear Riot's words, for a while I shut up and start listening around me.

Dark conditions because it is surrounded by tall buildings, a foul smell due to unkempt places, damp air that appears because it is never exposed to sunlight.

And a lot of crows are perched in wires that are no longer working.

...

A crow? Why are there crows here? Shouldn't the crow be in a place full of dead bodies? Not in a clean place like this?

Then ... don't-don't ...

CRING!

I immediately made a catapult and took the pebble from under my feet.

Kreet!

I pulled the catapult, and prepared to throw the pebble I put on the catapult.

WHUS!

Well then, there should be people with the ability to control crows, like Safa! And I also just realized, why can Safa only summon ants when there are crows here?!

TBC.

Don't forget the likes, guys!
