After the Alpha group enters Base 066. They were greeted with a mentor.
"Welcome. This time I will give you your first lesson.
" Said Azuna. Not long after, a Maze appeared before the Alpha Group.
"The rule of this lesson is to find a way out of this Maze. To be able to fight me in the center of this maze." Azuna said in a loud and firm voice.
"If that's all I can do too." Sasuke said then he tried to advance to the entrance of the Maze.
But before Sasuke enters the Maze, Azuna attacks Sasuke and handcuffs Sasuke with Akiko. The hands of Hanada and Igarashi and the hands of Sakuraba and Zakuro.
"The other "rules are. You have to stay in that position until you can beat me in the center position. And in that position you also have to protect the Emblem and cape you or your friend from falling. If one of the capes or Emblems falls, then all of you must repeat from the entrance. Of course the maze will also change when you enter." Azuna said, Then the stage she started to come down.
Signifies that the battle has already begun.
The three couples immediately entered a different door.
...****************...
Hanada and Igarashi.
Seen from the faces of these two teenagers they feel awkward due to their conversation during the break earlier.
Igarashi honestly could not bear to yell at Hanada like that. But it seemed like his emotions had completely taken hold of him.
While Hanada did not dare to open the conversation out of concern Igarashi was still angry with him.
"Hey." Call Igarashi with a tone that seemed a bit taut made Hanada look at him.
"Prepare yourself. The opponent can attack at any time. And don't linger dissolved in your own mind." Igarashi continued without noticing Hanada.
Hanada's face was slightly flushed. Although it should be like this, he was happy that Igarashi was still paying attention to him.
Not long after that Igarashi stopped his steps. Make Hanada stop.
"What's wrong, Igarashi-Kun?." Ask Hanada.
"Some are approaching us. Be prepared." Before Hanada could reply to Igarashi's words from the front appeared creatures like Hecatoncheires.
Soon Hecatoncheires attacked Igarashi and Hanada.
"Nogard ed cegla." Igarashi used his Magic and came out an Ice dragon wrapped around the Hecatoncheires Body.
But unfortunately it did not take long for Hecatoncheires to be free from Igarashi's attacks.
Hanada then took out his Magic staff to help Igarashi. "leliuferevche." The creeping plant then appeared and tried to tie all the Hecatoncheires hands together and strangled all the Hecatoncheires heads.
However It seemed like the Power of Hecatoncheires was large enough to be controlled by Hanada and Igarashi.
Hecatoncheires then hit the ground making Hanada and Igarashi lose balance.
"UWWWWAAAAAHH." Shouted both.
"losenruot." Shouted Hanada while bringing out the Sunflowers below her. Both Igarashi and Hanada Meringis Pain knowing that Sunflower seeds are Hard and not soft at all.
"Other times look for large petals that are not hard." Said Igarashi while helping Hanada stand up.
Hecatoncheires then charged towards the two of them using a punch that was fortunately avoided by Hanada and Igarashi.
"rum ed Cegla." Igarashi creates an Ice wall between him and Hanada that stretches to protect them from the Hecatoncheires.
Igarashi drained all his Holy Energy to strengthen his Ice wall which was struck blindly by Hecatoncheires.
Seeing Igarashi in this state Hanada became unbearable. He remembered one incident when they were kids.
...****************...
Flashbacks
On a sunny Sunday, Hanada plays into a park on her own without her parents.
Hanada's parents always believed that Hanada would be fine.
In this place Hanada spends his time playing at the fountain in the park. Hanada then saw a lot of lotus flowers.
But as she was about to approach the flower, Hanada heard someone calling her.
"Hey. You ugly purple-eyed girl." Hanada turned his head and looked at the group of children who were approaching him.
"Are you not a child of the Emolias?." One of the children seemed to know something about him.
"Emolian?. Ah that's a race that has strange senses, right?. Their eyes are nocturnal eyes and their ears can hear even small sounds. Let alone look at the nose they can smell like a dog. It's so weird."
"HAHAHAHA!!!!."
Once they were satisfied to insult him now they laughed at him. Hanada doesn't like this. He better stay away from them.
But it turns out they stopped Hanada by pulling her hair. It's making Hanada sick.
"Where are you going?." Said the fat boy who had pulled himself.
"To-please let me go. I beg you." Pinta Hanada is in pain.
"Where is your pride as men. Aren't you ashamed of beating up girls." The boy had purple hair and sapphire eyes.
"Let's fight with me." Challenge the boy.
It didn't take long, the boys fell down and ran away.
The boy approached Hanada and helped her up.
"You okay?." Ask the boy to Hanada. Hanada simply nodded as a thank you.
"Why are you helping me?." Ask Hanada.
"Ras Emolia is still a family with Ras Overhyme. The owner of the above senses is normal." Answer the child relax. Then he left Hanada alone.
"Wait!!"
"I'm Hanada. Whose name?." After stopping the boy, Hanada introduced herself and asked him what his name was.
"Igarashi." Igarashi then left Hanada Alone.
"Thank you, Igarashi-kun." Hanada muttered softly.
Flashback End.
...****************...
The memories made Hanada unable to keep silent. He did not want to hide behind Igarashi's back. He has to do something.
"Noisrot ed al neicar." The root twists emitted by Hanada were able to stop Hecatoncheires' blows for a while.
"Igarashi-kun." Call Hanada to Igarashi who is still focusing on his Ice Wall.
"Please use Eiulp ed seroetem ed cegla. To put an end to all this, rum ed Cegla alone will not be able to stop the Hecatoncheires attack. He's gonna smash the ice wall." Hanada's suggestion so that they can defeat the power of the Hecatoncheires.
And sure enough, Hecatoncheires managed to escape the winding Noisrot ed al neicar belongs to Hanada and now he made a crack in the wall of Ice made by Igarashi. Hecatoncheires launched a blow which then shattered the wall of Ice. Igarash.
"You know I can't use my arrows under these circumstances." Reply Igarashi While avoiding the rampage of Hecatoncheires.
"Then let me be your hand, Igarashi-kun." Hanada's speech made Igarashi Dumbfounded.
"Since I've always troubled you. Whenever I have a problem you always come and save me." Hanada continued with a face bowing after they stopped at a safe distance.
"I beg. Let me help you." Hanada volunteered himself so that he and Igarashi could be free of this problem.
Igarashi who saw Hanada's earnestness smiled.
"alright. Let's get started." Igarashi said with great sincerity.
The two of them then ran towards Hecatoncheires with all their might.
"Neclo ed Cegla." Igarashi made clones of himself and Hanada of Ice for the Hecatoncheires attack.
As expected, Hecatoncheires attacked Igarashi's Ice clone. But at the same time...
"Senicar sesuenip." The thorny roots suddenly emerged from the Igarashi Ice clone and wrapped around the Hecatoncheires so that the Hecatoncheires could no longer twitch.
"Neiarg ed aiselffar." Hanada attacked Hecatoncheires nose to slow down the movement of Hecatoncheires.
"Now Igarashi-kun." Igarashi then took out his hot bow and asked Hanada to point upwards. With his Magic abilities, Igarashi created his Ice dart.
"Eiulp ed seroeid ed cegla." After Igarashi removed his arrows, a portal where Igarashi's arrows disappeared now appeared just above Hecatoncheires as thousands of arrows attacked Hecatoncheires blindly.
The Ice arrows that had touched Hecatoncheires body began to freeze Hecatoncheires body slowly until Hecatoncheires froze to death.
...****************...
Igarashi and Hanada now return to continue their journey delayed by the Hecatoncheires attack earlier.
"Sorry." Igarashi opened the conversation. Hanada turned back to him.
"For what?." Ask Hanada curiously.
"Have yelled at you and made you cry. " Said Igarashi stopping his steps.
"I remember a man can't make a woman cry or I'll regret it forever. So I'm sorry about what happened this afternoon." Igarashi.
With both hands, Hanada now touched Igarashi's handcuffed hands.
"I've forgiven what Igarashi-kun told me. I also apologize for saying that so suddenly." Said Hanada smiling.
"You're too generous, Hanada. But I like your nature." Igarashi replies with a smile on his face.
Then they decided to immediately continue their journey looking for a way out.
...****************...
In the middle of the area. Azuna felt that one of the groups had already completed their challenge. And it seems like they've made up.
"There are two more groups left."
TBC.
