Ares: Never Grow Up
Vani's disappearance!

"YOU REALLY ARE RIOT?!"

POV: Riot

I am finally free! I don't know how, thankfully Ken came and sat on the bench under the tree where I got stuck.

Now we were lying on an empty park bench, yeah .. I just found out that I was in the park. I thought I was in the middle of a forest or some other lush place.

"Why did you get stuck in there?" ask Ken while lying down. I lie down next to Ken, but in the opposite position.

"You won't believe me, I was just kidnapped by a strange child" I explained, closing my eyes.

"What's? Been kidnapped? How come?" ken asked in surprise while looking at me. I just sniffed my shoulders and stared at the leaves of the trees.

It feels very sleepy. Looks like .. I'm going to sleep.

POV: Ares

Ciap .. ciap.

"Hmm, ouch .. my head." I woke up with a very sick head. And also with the ground stuck all over my body.

Wait, what did I do yesterday? I think I did something yesterday. Who yeah? Blond ... oh! Aye! I drove a blonde kid to find some fruit!

But where is he now? I haven't seen the trunk of his nose since I woke up. After all, she could survive on her own. Ughb ...

...

"OIYA, KEN AND RIOT! OH MY GOD, I'M IN A SLUMBER!" I immediately woke up spontaneously and flew away. The cool air in the morning that hit my skin, gave a strange cold and fresh impression. I continued flying there and here, looking in all directions without a clue.

"Whoops!"

Huh huh? Ken's voice?

I stopped in the air for a moment and looked down. My eyes looked for where Ken's voice came from, so I could finally see two children waving their hands at me.

It must be Ken and Riot. Thank goodness they're okay.

I immediately descended towards them and hugged Ken tightly.

"Where have you been stupid?" I asked in an annoyed tone, but still hugged Ken. He returned my embrace while patting my back.

"The story is long, and I also accidentally met Riot," Ken replied while still holding me. After that suddenly Riot separated our arms. His face looks upset.

"You hugged me but didn't invite me, this is so unfair!" He spoke in an annoyed tone, even to the point of stomping his feet. Finally Ken and I laughed and hugged Riot too.

"By the way, do you know where Vani is? Ares?" ask Riot suddenly. Of course I was immediately shocked, as far as I was .. Before I left Vani, she was still in the hospital.

"Isn't he .. is he in the hospital?" I asked while looking at Riot in surprise. Riot and Ken looked at each other, their eyes slipping a look of doubtful eyes.

"Hospitals are completely gone, said residents who lived around there, the hospital exploded. And there was one person who survived the incident" Riot added, showing several photos of the incident last night. Apparently there are still print media operating in this city, but only one person survived?

"And ... maybe this will surprise you a little bit. .. the hospital we're in, it's been out of service since there's been a red mist." Riot's statement instantly carried a bad premonition in my heart.

"Then, where's Vani?!" I was confused and panicked. I grabbed Ken and Riot's arms, but they also shook their heads, in an ignorant answer to my question.

"Sial ... You have met, even Vani is missing!" I was upset that problems started to turn up. And amidst this atmospheric tension, there was a little girl who was no stranger to us. She came in her petite black suit as well as some document width in her right hand.

He is Civilian.

"What's wrong?" I asked with cold. But Ken instantly silenced my mouth and looked at me sharply, of course I was immediately confused by the reaction of this child, even Riot to the point of only being able to be silent at Ken's strange behavior.

"I've come to find Ken, do you still have any business?" ask her with a flat tone. Ken immediately took his hand out of my mouth and walked quickly to approach Civilian.

"Nothing, by the way, why are you looking for me?" ask Ken in a friendly and warm tone. As soon as Ken spoke to Civilian, I immediately understood one thing. It seems like she's been drunk with love.

Actually, I'm not too concerned about this either, but the situation is still dire. Our members haven't been complete since yesterday, if Ken goes missing again, then it's going to be even harder. Not to mention there were so many bad events coming in a relentless streak.

"Ares, I'll go first with Civilian," said Ken with a bright smile. Of course I was immediately angry after hearing his words.

"Ken! Vani hasn't met yet! Where are you going?!" snapped to him. But Ken just kept quiet and left while waving his hand. I was so upset that I wanted to punch Ken in the face. But Riot immediately held my hand while shaking his head.

"Calm down, it's okay. Let's find Vani both, at least .. We know who Ken went with" Riot said trying to calm me down. I really don't care if the problem is just for him to go on a date or whatever, but this is about Vani .. shouldn't Vani be a person of value to Ken? I really don't understand why he's this stupid.

"You're right, forget the kid. Let's go find Vani" I said as I walked toward the money opposite Ken. Riot immediately followed me from behind, he walked adjusting my footsteps.

"By the way Ares, yesterday .. I just got kidnapped by a strange boy." Riot began to tell me what he had experienced, I immediately stopped walking and looked at him in surprise.

"What?! How are you doing now?!" panicked shouting.

"It's okay, did you forget I could teleport?" ask Riot flatly. I immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"But this is not the core of the story, the kidnapper .. yesterday he told a strange story," Riot said, glancing left and right. I started to notice what Riot was going to say.

"It's about Boni and Safa" Riot explained in a whisper.

"Yes, I already know, too," I said in a soft voice.

"They're enemies, right?"

"They used to be friends, right?"

Riot and I were silent. And this made me realize that maybe .. the version that Riot heard was different from the one I heard.

TBC.
