BACK TO BACK: Into The Dark Destiny
Pastlives

In a dimly lit house, a long-haired man holds a knife covered in blood. The blank eyes were faintly visible behind the long hair covering his face. Beside the man, there was a woman lying on the floor with her whole body covered with wounds and blood. Slowly and with cold eyes, the man walked up to a middle-aged man in front of him. 

“Don't kid, forgive dad!? I regret doing all this. Please forgive dad son!?” Said the middle-aged man sitting limp on the floor frightened at the man holding a knife covered in blood.

With a face full of fear, the beak man sat trembling under the floor. The face of the middle-aged man looked very panicked. Sweat came out profusely soaking all over the body and the clothes he was wearing. While trying to get away from him in a way sucked back, the middle-aged man tried to apologize to the man who turned out to be his own son. Regardless of what he said, the man continued to walk closer to his frightened father.

“Please. Don't do that to your father this son.” Said the middle-aged man who was still trying to persuade his son.

“Listen to me!!! If I can choose, I can't possibly make you a figure named father!!! This is the path of destiny, I just follow the current. Mostly all this is not for me, this is for him.” Said the man while attaching the knife full of blood to his father's face.

“I'll fix everything... I-I will be a good father figure from now on. So please forgive dad.” Said the man with a clear face.

“Honey once, it's too late.” Said the man while pulling the knife he held towards his father's neck.

“Kringgg......Jinggg.......Kringggg!!!” Sound alarm sound.

Shortly after the alarm sounded, Litch was carried and immediately turned off the alarm. The clock shows exactly at 07:00. Sunlight began to enter Litch's room through the cracks of the window. While holding one hand up, Litch still remained lying on her bed. He looked at the right hand he held up with a serious face. After that, Litch began to move out of her bed.

“8 August 2015, it looks like I am still in the past 7 years.” Litch said while looking at the calendar in his room.

“Liiiitch.... Come awake!!! Soon leave school.” Someone who sounds like a woman.

“Mother...” Litch said, looking at the door.

The sun was already starting to rise at the eastern end. This indicates that humans must have begun to carry out their respective activities. And so is Litch. Because today he still has learning activities at his school, Litch began to prepare to go to school.

“Litch, let's have breakfast first. I've prepared breakfast for you.” Said the woman who was the mother of Litch.

“Good bu.” Said Litch who started heading to the dinner table for breakfast.

When Litch wanted to sit down and have breakfast at the dinner table, there was a man who had already sat there first. The man is either the husband of his mother Litch or the father of Litch himself. With a sharp look, Litch watched her father sitting while reading the newspaper in the dining room. Walk slowly towards the dining table. Litch kept watching her father. 

“What's Litch? Is there something wrong with your appearance today?” Said his father Litch who saw his son taking himself seriously.

“Nothing.” Said Litch while sitting on the dining table chair.

“Already, let's have breakfast first! Later loh.” Said Litch's mother telling her husband and son to have breakfast immediately.

Without a word coming out of Litch's mouth, he ate the breakfast menu his mother had made. After finishing his breakfast, Litch immediately rushed to go to school. He left his home without a word coming from his mouth

 “Be careful on the road well nak.” Said Litch's mother, who saw her son go to school. 

A bright sunlight instantly shone on Licth as soon as he walked out of his house. With a neat high school uniform, Litch stepped foot on a residential street that was not too wide. Seen around it there are several children from other schools who are leaving to go to their respective schools. While watching the other schoolgirls, Litch continued to walk on the streets casually. Indeed, the distance between Litch's house and the school is not too far away. The journey can still be reached only by foot, without using public transportation or private vehicles. 

“A bright start to start a stressful event.” Litch said with a smile full of ambition while continuing to walk.

Meanwhile, right next to the roadside trash can that Litch had passed by earlier. There was a mysterious figure watching Litch from a distance. The figure is exactly the same as the figure that appeared when Litch came home from school yesterday. Just like before, the mysterious figure continued to pay attention to Litch while remaining silent beside the trash can on the side of the road. A wide smile full of passion and mysterious ambition was also seen on his face. Shortly after Litch began to move away from the place, the mysterious figure began to slowly disappear. 

On the other hand, a large container truck drove down a fairly quiet and arid highway. While traveling at a moderate speed, the container truck is escorted and guarded by several small vehicles that accompany it. Not long after, the container truck turned and entered the area of a very large building. Shortly after the truck stopped in a special area of large vehicle stops, the container was immediately opened by the workers there. The cold air immediately spread throughout the room shortly after the container door was opened. Shrouded in a smog that felt very cold, a large glass box was seen inside the container. Shortly after the smoke of the cold began to thin, something in the box was slowly beginning to be seen clearly. A large, long-haired man was seen frozen inside the glass box. Bare-chested and wearing only trousers made of animal skin, the big, burly man fell asleep in the cold of the ice. 

“Has it reached the goods???” Said a man in a neat suit who suddenly came.

“Already boss, goods arrive safely without damage or the slightest disturbance.” Said the man from the well-dressed man.

“Good..... All right, let's get transferred directly into the lab.” Said the man.

“Be careful in moving it!!! A little mistake will destroy it.” Said someone dressed in a white lab coat coming from behind.

“Proffessor Dranne!? Finally, after a major discovery in the Iceverst mountains three months ago. Now the ancient man has arrived at ANCIENT.” The man said neatly to see a young professor named Dranne coming to him.

“Iyaa, she is a very rare item in the world. Andrew!!! How lucky we are to find an ancient man well preserved by the cold of the ice. This is the greatest discovery for modern mankind. With this we will print a new history.” Professor Dranne told a well-dressed man named Andrew.

“ANCIENT will print the history of the professor. As his successor, I will continue even beyond what my father has started. Of course with your help, professor Dranne.”  Andrew said while looking at the glass box of ancient humans.

“As the saying goes, study the past for progress in the future. And in ANCIENT this is what will really realize these words.” Professor Dranne said with a cheerful face.

“OK!!! Take him to the research lab carefully.” Andrew told the worker to bring the box containing frozen ancient humans to his lab.

With sophisticated equipment, the glass box was moved from the container to the research lab at ANCIENT. After being transferred to the lab, the ancient man was stored safely in a room filled with super-advanced technological tools. The chunks of ice are placed on a special circular tool that serves to keep the ice condition cool and stable. Without lingering, Professor Dranne began to research and observe the ancient man. Using a highly complex and super-sophisticated computer system, professor Dranne begins scanning the ice chunks containing the ancient man. After the computer is finished scanning, Professor Dranne is made keget with the results of his speech. 

“Must be!!! I guess all this time he was just an ancient human fossil preserved by the ice well. But it turns out, the physical condition and internal organs resemble humans who are still alive in general.” Said Professor Dranne who was surprised to see the results of the ancient human scan.

“Proffessor Dranne, how is the scan result? Is he in good shape?” Andrew, leader of ANCIENT, asked Professor Dranne.

“Much more than the good word itself. After 50 thousand years frozen in the ice, this ancient man still has the possibility to be able to live again.” Professor Dranne told Andrew.

“What did you say!!! Can you come back to life??? How could that happen?” Said Andrew who was shocked to hear the words of proffeseor Dranne.

“Must be!!! Indeed, early humans had a much better physique than modern humans, but this is very absurd. What the fuck is this really him?”Said Andrew who does not believe in the condition of the ancient man.

“Andrew, have you ever heard of a wooden frog that lets itself freeze when winter comes? The frog looked like it had died in the cold of winter. However, he actually allowed himself to freeze to survive that winter. It temporarily deactivates some of its internal organ performance which then when winter ends, the organ re-operates again. And also about a living fish frozen by liquid nitrogen. The fish looked like it was frozen to death. But once put into regular water, the fish can live and swim back.” Professor Dranne explained to Andrew about animals that had been frozen but could come back to life.

“Iya I know about it. But all that happens only in some species of animals that have special advantages, not all types of animals can do this.” Andrew told Professor Dranne.

“What do you say, not all living things can fight or survive extreme cold, but he can. That means, this ancient man has a very extraordinary physical and endurance body. Probably the best among other early humans at that time.” Professor Dranne.

“Hmm.... If what you say is true, it becomes very interesting!!! This discovery far exceeds what we expect, in positive terms of course. I thought it was just an old fossil, but now the conditions are different.” Andrew said with a smile full of ambition.

When professors Dranne and Andrew were talking about ancient creatures or humans, suddenly unexpected events appeared. Computer systems and tools installed to examine ice chunks containing ancient humans also showed unusual reactions.

“Nit....Nit...Nit....Nit.....Nit...” The sound of a computer indicates something unnatural with the ancient man.

“Proffesor, something's wrong with this chunk of ice. Her ice temperature dropped very drastically.” Said one of Dranne's professors who helped research early humans.

“Damn it!!! These devices should be able to keep the ice temperature stable. But why the temperature drops so drastically.” Professor Dranne said while doing something with the computer in the lab.

“What is going on Professor Dranne? Why is the temperature here getting hotter?’ Said Andrew who felt the heat in his lab room.

“Jesus!!! It is not the temperature of the ice that is declining, but the temperature of the ancient man himself that began to increase rapidly. His body became increasingly heated and slowly his ice temperature increased as well. This is critical!!” Professor Dranne said while looking at and operating the computer.

Surprisingly, ancient humans who had frozen in the cold ice suddenly showed an unnatural reaction. The computer detected that the body temperature of the ancient man suddenly began to heat up and continue to increase drastically. This makes the ice that has been freezing him so far began to warm slightly.

Seeing this, Professor Dranne also tried to deal with the problem. He tried to cool or re-freeze the ice. Professor Dranne also tried to spray liquid nitrogen throughout the ice chunks that began to warm up.

“Csshhh The sound of liquid nitrogen being sprayed through a special device.

“How does this manage to lower its temperature?” Said the professor while looking at the iceberg.

“It looks like the temperature has stopped heating proff.” Said one of Dranne's professors.

After the ice was sprayed with liquid nitrogen, the temperature heating of the ancient humans inside was stopped. But just after the ancient man stopped heating up, suddenly the computer again showed something that surprised the people in the lab.

“Wait a minute!!! It's not over yet. Oh lord!!! Proff, the ancient man showed signs of life.” Wrong speech or Dranne proffeseor's men.

“What!!” Professor Dranne said as she headed to the computer to confirm the words of her men.

“Proffesor, the ancient human heart..... Start ticking!!!” Andrew looked at the computer.

Along with that, the ancient man who was shackled in the cold ice suddenly opened his eyes. A sharp eye shot out of his sight. Shortly after the ancient man woke up from his long sleep, the ice that had been enveloping him began to slowly crack. The small cracks that occurred in the end turned into large cracks. Until in the end the cracks that occur also cause the ice chunks are destroyed and broken to pieces. With the destruction of the ice that had locked him away for tens of thousands of years, the ancient man had now risen and was freed from the shackles of ice.

“Aaaaaaaakhhhh!!” The words of the new ancient man were freed from the chunks of ice with a loud cry.

Looking at the incident, Professor Dranne and everyone in the lab were panicked and frightened. The alarm sounds very loud. Andrew the leader of ANCIENT also tried to call the armed special forces to immediately go to the research lab.

“Delta 1, Delta 2, quickly head to the first floor lab!!! Emergency condition, fast!!” Said Andrew who called out the ANCIENT armed forces.

“Aaaaakhhhhh!!!!” Ancient humans screamed because they were disturbed by the sound of a noisy alarm.

Because of the sound of alarm that is very disturbing, the ancient man began to rampage and destroy the equipment in the lab. The members of Professor Dranne who was nearby were also affected by the tantrums of ancient humans. They were beaten and kicked by the ferocity of the ancient man. Not only that, they were also hit and hit by the lab equipment thrown by the ancient man.

“Proffesor let's go from here, this is already very too dangerous.” Said Andrew inviting Professor Dranne to get out of the lab.

Amid the rampage of early humans, professors Dranne and Andrew attempt to sneak out of the lab. Eventually they managed to get out of the place. In addition to the two of them, the surviving members of Professor Dranne also ran out of the lab. Shortly after they left the lab, Delta forces or ANCIENT's armed special forces arrived. Using electric rifles, Delta forces fired on the rampaging ancient humans.

“Aaakhhhhh!!!” Shouts of ancient humans who were hit by gunfire or electric weapons.

After being hit by electric weapons, early humans also increasingly revolted and tried to release electric bullets that stuck in his body. Feeling threatened by consecutive shots from the Delta forces, the ancient man decided to flee the place. Without thinking, he immediately broke through and destroyed the wall of the lab room with his large body. As a result, the wall was successfully destroyed by ancient humans who tried to escape. After that, he immediately ran blindly trying to get out of the building.

“Quick chase him!!!” Andrew told the Delta team to chase after the ancient humans who tried to escape.

“Do not use electric weapons, it will only make him more rebellious. Use an anesthetic weapon to disable it.” Professor Dranne told the Delta force to change the type of weapon.

“You heard that, quickly use an anesthetic weapon and do not let the ancient man escape.” Said Andrew loudly.

Meanwhile, the escaped ancient man continued to run and destroy all the objects before him. He tried to get out of the ANCIENT building. Not allowing that to happen, the Delta force also tried to prevent the ancient man by shooting him from behind. Because the movement of ancient humans was very fast and unguided, all the shots fired by the Delta forces did not hit it. After destroying the goods and some glass walls in front of him, the ancient man finally managed to get out of the building. Using his large body, he destroyed the back wall of the sturdy ANCIENT building. After exiting ANCIENT, he immediately ran away and ran towards the forest behind the building.

On the other hand, the place where Litch is carrying out his learning activities. The wall clock in class 2-B shows exactly at 12:00 p.m. Hit it is time for the students to do a second break, before the 2 hours of the last lesson and finally go home. During the break, Litch was in the classroom sitting quietly in the chair he was sitting in. Classroom conditions tend not to be too many children who gather. Only a few children were still in the classroom, others were going out to rest in the cafeteria or other places.

“ Looks like the interesting incident has already started.” Litch said while looking at the wall clock in front of him with a serious face.

As Litch was sitting and watching the wall clock in front of the classroom, a girl looked at Litch while sitting lying down in her seat. With a mysterious look, the woman continued to pay attention to Litch from the desk in the back right corner of the class.
