Basque : Liberation
Chapter 23; Gambit.

Rengga was still sitting quietly on one of the stairs on the third floor. He played the cards in a different way, having arranged his plans for cooking. He allowed his cards to play according to his ability and initiative.

In silence, he swallowed a medicine derived from plastic clips without a single drop of drinking water.

Hapeya.

[Hansel's call in.]

"Why?"

"There's a bomb warning, they're blowing up in a catering car, the front gate's been breached, they're serious, Reng."

"Yes. Continues to?"

"When can the cave come down?"

"The situation is still under control, Continue Retirement as usual. Keep doing your job, watch that guy"

Momentary silence.

"Your andelin gua made this malem." Rengga said clarifying. "Don't miss it."

Phone's over.

The show host went back up on stage. It is also part of the organization. Started opening the Retirement event again tonight. He said he had combed the stage area, and all was safe, nothing to worry about.

The audience cheered back. Feel the need to enjoy tonight for buying tickets with money.

The floodlight has been lit. The party starts again tonight. Those who have returned to the field once again are unaware of what has happened tonight.

Wijaya's eyes focused on watching every corner of the school through his laptop monitor.

"Other computer systems, La. Gua can't watch out for everything alone."

"Okey, Jay." Sahut Lala while pressing the CPU power button. "We need to get Melody's help!" He said worried

"Cave sail limited. Let's split the screen."

Wijaya inserted the end of the cable in one of the slots behind the CPU from the eavesdropping tool. One of the screens in the lab. Computer showing school CCTV.

"Successfully." Seru Lala is proud. "We can see more screens now. I'll help you find."

After looking more closely. "There's nothing we can andelin, La. All else busy with their own affairs." Wijaya said disappointed.

With his initiative Lala called out. "Alvin!"

"Yes, La?" Alvin snapped from the earbuds mic.

"Please help Melody!"

Wijaya. "Don't! They were just a little bit away until the top. Precisely we plan on that let Baskara same Alvin up first right?"

"You want Melody's decanin to die? He's surrounded by twenty people, Jay!"

In the game of chess, they call it 'Gambit'.one of the openings where players sacrifice one pawn for excellence in the next step. In that case, Wijaya had done it to Melody.

Baskara and Alvin stalled on the steps almost to the third floor, listening to the debate between Vijaya and Lala.

"Where's Melody's location now?" Ask Baskara worriedly.

"In the classroom, second floor, building C." Answer Lala completely.

After much deliberation, Baskara offered himself. "The cave will come down. The cave can't tell Melody that."

Alvin grabbed Baskara's hand that was about to budge. "The Cave will protect Melody. You can go upstairs, the cave will be followed by Melody."

Baskara's eyes stared fixedly.

"Believe the same cave, Bas."

"Over there is a Rengga." Sela Wijaya's. "If you recede the cave.. Alvin can nahan Rengga there, keep you just go up to the roof for the opponent Saga." Another imbibing. "I'd lose if I went upstairs alone now, Bas."

Alvin was silent for a moment waiting for his friend's reaction.

"Gua can win against Rengga, continue to go up to the roof to win Saga position." Firm Baskara straightforward. "Don't worry about the cave, Jay. Just trust me."

Wijaya patted his forehead, sighing bitterly. Because, the labor that He had thought about morning until night would decline.

Plarr!

After taking each other, Baskara and Alvin split up. Change positions.

Tsahs!

Pras avoided a kick from the front. His body dodged to his left side. Capturing the efforts of the umpteenth time Haikal. Kicked the enemy's leg, then slammed it down while locking his captured leg earlier.

GREPS! BRUK!

"Fuckers!" Haikal cursed while elbowing the back of Pras who was hugging him with a lockdown.

BLAM BLAM BLAMM!

Both hands of Pras grabbed firmly with his lockdown.

In between the locks of Haikal's body, he tried to calm down to get an idea.

"Lu's on the wrong side, Kal. Lighten you blush!"

So Haikal's hand infiltrated the inside of Pras' lockdown trying to loosen it. While turning the body, threw Pras towards his body twisted. The blonde guy slammed into the wall.

Haikal gasped for the lockdown that hit him earlier made it difficult to breathe. Now he tries to control it again. Wakes up. Start the fight from the beginning again.

"Wake you up." Haikal said defiantly.

Pras chuckles. Kick towards Haikal's shins while still supine position.

TUBCS!

Their legs clashed, as Haikal countered with a kick to Pras's foot.

Realized his strategy had failed. Pras wakes up taking a position to fight on top.

"Gua inget, when the Chairman ngajak you to join the organization. He said you're a 'potential candidate'."

"Cuihh.. the garbage organization!"

Silent.

"A year abis lu refused the offer, it turns out you're not so anything right? You're just a surfer who benefits from the big waves!"

Now his brown eyes were staring at Pras inside. "We can never catch the waves, Pras. But it could benefit that power to pursue the goal."

Haikal started again. Waving a warm fist into Pras' face. His stomach too many times. Pras was cornered to the side of the wall.

BRACKET!

The bakbakbakbuk!

Pras did not try to dodge, instead grimacing again. "Life, your punch is not that strong. Ahaha.." Disparaged laughter. "Let the cave teach you how to hit the real one."

BLAM!

Haikal attempts to catch Pras' right hand, which turns out to be a hoax. Because Pras' left hand entered quickly was also strong, leading to Haikal's ribs. Making his body feel out of balance, also his breathing choked, because his diaphragm was hit rough.

Agilely Pras made use of that gap again. By elbowing Haikal's neck with his right hand. Making his enemy more limp, also giving kicks with his knees repeatedly while hugging tightly.

THE SAT! BRUK! BRUK! BRUK!

Pras had mastered the fight, so he twisted his body. Plunge Haikal who had almost collapsed towards the wall, plus a kick from the sole of his shoe.

BRACKET!

Haikal leaned against the wall half-standing and began to sit down no longer strong enough to hold himself to stand. This is due to a blow in the heart, a professional fighter will fall if his heart is hit. Feeling excruciating pain, helplessness, then forcing the body to shut down its functions.

"Cuih.." Pras spit it in exchange. "Junk! Bacot lu doang big, but can't fight."

"Crazy! How to fight bigwigs is different." Shoot a spectator who was listening behind the gate.

"His body resistance is incredible."

After removing his obstacle, Pras left the unconscious Haikal sitting on a roadside wall.

"Wait for the cave still"

Alvin's breathing gasps for the class where Melody is. He promised to protect her, for his friend. One by one the classroom doors were opened in the area of building C.

This time it had been the fifth door that Alvin had opened but did not find it. "Where's the class, Jay? How's Melody doing?"

"Come know! There's no CCTV in that class." Reply Wijaya. "But the blueprint cave first."

Alvin was worried about being late. And what he had to say when that happened, a promise that was quite difficult to keep. But He has strengthened his heart to make that promise.

"Rook left!"

Then, Alvin turned to follow Wijaya's orders. Entering the classroom. Making him stunned to see the state of the class directed at him.

An unexpected sight greeted him. A broken wooden table, scattered chairs, some bloodstains on the wall. Makes Alvin think in an unnatural direction. "Where's Melody, Jay?"

"Last that clay cave over there." Wijaya was astonished by Alvin's question, indicating that something was not right there. His eyes were watching every corner of the monitor. "What's going on in Dalem?"

"You're not."

Silent.

"What's up there, Vin?"

"Don't you tell me what Baskara is, Jay?" Something bad happened in that class. The circumstances there have explained everything. "Melody's not here. Class is a mess like I'm afraid someone's fighting."

"Lu don't assume that." Sangkal Wijaya's. "The two will try to find again. The cave will be announced again."

"Stay, Jay. Something's weird." Alvin's gaze looked behind the class. "What the hell is that?" Then he shut his mouth, as if he could not believe what he saw.

"Why, Vin?"

"Members who chased you earlier.." Alvin still had a hard time explaining what he saw, and tried to examine it more closely.

"Huh?"

"They all fainted in the back of the class. The wound was unnatural, the blood on the wall was like theirs."

"What's this, Jay?" Lala's question made the situation even hotter. "We don't know the situation Melody Abis was surrounded earlier. I'm trying to make it too, I can't.."

"Stay, La. We need to calm down!" I try to see good things in this bad situation. "Down that class! abis was trying to go downstairs, find it there, Vin."

"Down to the first floor?"

"Yes." Yeah."

After that, Alvin rushed again to follow Wijaya's direction. Although he was panting and began to sweat, now his desire was stronger than his physical state. He then ran down the stairs to the first floor.

Instead, he made her meet someone she hated.

Keni the cockroach.

***

Taps! Taps! Taps!

Rengga turned his head as the sound of footprints approached from the direction of the stairs beside him, as he was still sitting on the last staircase in the building.

His eyes found an intimidating look just from looking at it. He gave off a different aura. A boy the cause of the war that Saga spoke of, namely; Baskara.

Baskara had reached the third floor, another step towards the 'Last King'. Before that, Now He stood before Rengga, 'The King's bodyguard'.

Rengga smokes his cigarette to enjoy as much as he can, as if it was the last cigarette he would enjoy. Then, back it to the floor of the stairs where he sat, but still half a trunk. He threw it away without hesitation.

"You've lost, Baskara Mahendra." Rengga said starting. "Lu can't fight Saga. Because the cave will never give you that chance."

Baskara knitted her eyebrows as if asking.

"At least the cave will make you feel stupid so far." Rengga added explaining. "Now you're alone. Fragile expectations from fools who don't want to follow the rules of the organization."

"Lu nggk pantes boasting, Reng." His bead of eyes caught the figure before him, as if showing his sincerity in saying it. "Before the cave's hit."

Two officers meet again, ready to clash with a powerful lightning bolt that cuts across the sky dome. Requires Baskara to fight the King's Guard, before reaching his final destination.

"Lu kira's? you feel entitled to every mistake in the world, Bas?"

Will Baskara be able to reach the roof safely after fighting Rengga?
