ORION
Covert Purpose

Chameleon's power is weakened by Runo's snow, another unbelievable reality. But it's real! Thanks to that, Chairman Irawan and Gista were able to maximize their attacking power within that wall.

But, why? Just one question in the minds of the two of them. About Chameleon expression.

“Do not hesitate!!” Gista shouted at Chairman Irawan who had hesitated for having seen Chameleon's strange expression.

That smile is. I don't know what it means but, if it's done then it's all over. Just like in the city of Y-Karta at that time. However, a little doubt will make the city shapeless.

***

Then, the man who had been pushed back, was made separate by Chairman Irawan before this.

“His power is really very big. Like he was part of the land itself,” grumbled Iki while shaking his throbbing hand.

“Hei!! Pull me!!” yelled at someone who was out of nowhere.

Then Iki was confused after hearing the voice of someone who seemed to recognize the voice.

“Who?” Iki still wonders who it is and searches for its whereabouts.

“In front of you, woi!” shouted again.

“Ah, is that you?”

It turned out that someone who had been in the mud all this time. Hendrik could not get out of there because part of the hard ground continued to follow him, but now he was finally able to escape thanks to the help of his friend.

“You are very careless,“ Iki quipped on Hendrik.

“What did you say?”

“From that, you saw it, didn't you?” asked Iki with the tail of his eyes that kept moving to and fro, it seemed he was looking for something.

“See what? I don't understand what you mean,” said Hendrik as he patted his dirty shoulders and knees.

“Janu?” hendrik looked at Iki.

“Not, City Hero. It's not strange if the two of us remain pushed back even close to the wall that is somehow made who is this?” said Iki, who thought something was awkward. He touched the wall of frozen snow.

“City Hero, you mean because of him we got here? But it is true, I feel something strange, although I myself was not aware because it was in the mud because of the land of Janu,” he said.

“Once, it turns out that it was him. He's not dead yet, hey!”

“You how else? That night will be very dark, even though it has been made to remember the trauma back, but that does not mean he died,” said Hendrik considers it that easy.

“It's pretty critical.”

“Hey, you two! What are you guys doing anyway? Even babbling!” jinan's screams then appeared with a high jump, then landed right in front of the two of them with Orion on his shoulders.

“Huh, very heavy!” his grunts dropped Orion's body into the street.

“Jinan, what are you doing yourself? Why come here instead of doing that plan?” ask Iki.

“I can't. It is too dangerous to be close to two direct leaders, I could be killed immediately,” he said while shrugging both shoulders.

“Then, this wall I can't get through at all. Who the hell do you have?” Again Jinan grumbled about the large and high wall in front of him.

“Very hard but soft,” said Hendrik explaining the structure of the wall.

“Snow?” Iki thought with open her palm. He finally realized there was a snowflake falling from the sky.

“Now is summer. Where there may be snow.” Hendrik's words were correct, and only one was their answer, which was the power of the enemy.

Meaning, Runo! One of the apprentices brought by Gista et al.

Meanwhile, an ice wall smaller than the wall of frozen snow, mounds of earth and ice cliffs sticking out of it. After a while, the two alleged attacks were Gista and Chairman Irawan suddenly disappeared simultaneously and then a small explosion appeared in the middle of the road.

“Eh, is it over?” Jinan asked while looking from a distance, trying to ascertain whether their Master was finished or not.

“Loh, where is Orion?”

***

Somewhere not near but not far. Deep in darkness, drowned in the murky sea. The figure of the man, Orion who was on the verge of breaking down had now been sleeping in the dark all around.

“Someone, please ..please stop. All! Everything ...in danger!”

Talking in his mind also made Orion fall deeper and deeper. In an instant he was here, whereas before it was still on the mainland and in a state bound to the fishing hook belonging to Jinan.

He knew where this moment was, none other than Chameleon's power stolen from Jhon, the room behind the shadows. Although it was called a room, yet this was only a boundless sea that even the water was not clear. Orion was not breathing at all, even moving about could not, he was on the verge of life and death with blood coming out from both his wrists and neck.

Orion was eager to say what he already knew, but the time was not right because Gista et al had started this attack earlier. Their plan might be ruined in an instant if they bet their lives against Chameleon in haste.

Because, it's too late now. Gista then Chairman Irawan has sprawled on the road with a drenched blood. While Chameleon, even though half of his body was frozen and a spear-like object made of hard earth had ripped his left abdomen, he stood still with a big smile on his face.

A truly horrible man. Even badly wounded could still smile as if it was not his wound.

“I should have used that woman's power, but I did. The most important thing is that I get what I want,”, Chameleon said with a cut of skin and a strand of hair on her palm.

“Thank you all for coming here. I'm happy,” he added while staring at those who were sprawled.

Iki, Hendrik, Sera, Jinan, and Caraka got a message from their Master by telepathy, Chameleon had told them all to regroup after fulfilling their duties.

“Come!!”

Each of Chameleon's subordinates finally regrouped. The ice wall slowly collapsed as Gista was already unconscious. The remaining Mahanta, Ramon and Runo still have their consciousness.

“How? Did you guys take it?” ask Chameleon.

“Ya!” At once they spoke together while pointing at the object they had taken.

It might feel terrible because what they took was part of the bodies of the NED members, the Gista group. Except for Runo who was completely untouched, was taking refuge behind a snowy wall at the moment.

“Good. In this way, I can use the power myself without imitating it. Don't forget, give it to Mirana too,” Chameleon said.

“Good, we understand!”

All the residents were made to fret, they were confused about what they should do other than to remain silent and hide from the living monsters. Each of them was already unable to stand with their two limp feet, fear had defeated them. Moreover, the aura of the monsters gathered in one place, felt so strong.

***

Their original purpose was finally revealed! They were indeed initially herded away from their master, Chameleon. But they also have their own reasons.

“Don't forget to give it to Mirana.”

“Good!”

'Mirana?' On the verge of his consciousness, Gista heard what Chameleon said back then.

There were some things they had brought and it was inconspicuous but terrible, because the objects were part of the bodies of the NED members. Like a nail, skin, a strand of hair and others.

“What's wrong with you, Sera?”

“I'm fine, Mr.”

Sera looks very battered, but the selection is quite fast because this type of Sera has something called regeneration.

“Adi returned with a wet body, did you just take a shower?” sindir Jinan's.

“Shut up! I was troubled because the City Hero had come, you know!”

“What? It turns out that's true of him, isn't it? I didn't think he was really alive,” said Iki.

“Other times I'll kill him right away as soon as I see him!” pekik Jinan was excited.

“Forget the person who had no intention of fighting it. Now, there is one person I want you to capture alive,” Chameleon said as he pointed at the snowy wall across the street.

Runo soon realizes that his life is in danger, and since no one is going to help, he flees.

“Celaka! I don't want to die! I will live! Sorry to leave you guys!”

Putting his life at risk, Runo escaped humiliatingly. Well, but there's no other way. Because Runo would not be able to defeat one of them, let alone all of them.

“Hey, hey! He's running away! You coward!”

“Whatever your response is about me, I want to live longer!!” runo chuckles with tears flowing.

This is Runo, the cowardly man who escaped from the battlefield. That was the word of many people, who chased after him even laughed let alone people who had fought to the point of the final blood.

Runo ran between the multi-storey buildings, looking for gaps to evade those who were still chasing at an unreasonable speed. Right, they chased after him with their respective strength. To make Runo follow faster.

“Ga-gawat! How's this?”

Both of his legs were trembling, his mind felt empty, the pupils staring at Chameleon's subordinates made him shut up instantly.

Then think, “Am I going to die?”

“Death!!” jinan shouted while throwing her fishing hook.

“Hoi! Mr Chameleon said, get him alive!” pekik Hendrik's.

“Ya!” jinan replied excitedly but it seemed that the tip of the thread was really intent on killing. The pressure even felt so strong.

“Jeez what the fuck is that!?”

Runo was surprised, and he accidentally stumbled as a result of running without looking forward. Also because it is too focused on what is behind it.

“Hahaha! Basic sloppy!” maki Jinan, who managed to catch him by tying Runo's body tightly.

“Ba-how?! This it? Hey, release! I have no intention of fighting! Let go of me!” shout Runo.

“Hm? He's lousy. Is it true Mr Chameleon wants this child?” ask Jinan.

“Yes, he really sucks. I didn't think he was this weak, but look? In the sky, snowing.”

“It turns out that's his strength? What is the use of this snow? Making us cold to death?”

Next to them talking to each other, Runo who had no other thoughts but to escape immediately did something on the thread wrapped around him. This thread made him injured, as if he would be exhausted later. When the thread began to swipe his wrist, Runo seemed to get a chance, turning the thread into soft snow, finally he was able to escape.

“Hei! Watch him!!”

Already far away, Chameleon's subordinates realize that Runo is running away again. Jinan clicked annoyed, then darted faster than the others to catch Runo again.

“Jinan!! Watch out!!“ shout Iki.

He gave her a warning, but it was too late. Because of his fast running, he could not stop suddenly, as a result he hit the ice wall that appeared right in front of him.

“Urgh!!”

If an ordinary person would instantly die from a head hit hard enough, but this fight belonged entirely to the NED. Where people will rise again with their supernatural powers. It was obvious their physical strength was more than normal people.

“Cih, whose ice wall is this? Ah, eh?” First he shouted in annoyance, then only realized that the ice wall was what made him injured on the forehead.

“Gista Arutala yes?” thought Jinan for a moment.

“It's definitely not!!”

Sera smashed the ice wall with her huge claws. Then Iki used her strength to pull Runo's body, but somehow her back felt cold, and slowly the cold spread to the neck and then the head.

“I can't move?”

“What?! That boy!!”

Jinan chased him back, but again the ice wall appeared. Not only that, the surroundings of the tall buildings passed by Runo were suddenly enveloped by a stretch of snow. And also the weather around the enemies changed drastically from before.

Starting from a light snowspot, it is now a deadly snowstorm.

“What kind of strength is this? It's just snow!!” jinan shouted faster.

“Wait, stupid!” yelled Hendrik chasing him, but unfortunately he failed to add to the problem. Hendrik slipped due to slippery snow, then hit Jinan until finally the two men fell.

“Ouch! What are you doing?!”

“Shut up! You think maybe, running in the snow ..eh? Snow?”

After careful consideration, behind the snow there is a thin layer of ice. The ice was different from Gista's, then this blizzard also disrupted their vision until it finally lost Runo.

“The weather will always follow us anywhere? I also had trouble wearing my mud,” grumbled Hendrik.

“Once your chat. Where's Runo, Sera?”

Sera is currently tracking him through hearing. The sound of breathing, heartbeat, footsteps, things he will listen well to find Runo's whereabouts.

“She stopped.”

***

Runo finally gets a chance to breathe, he stops under the bridge. The river flow is not quite heavy, and the original weather is currently hot weather. He did not make his own existence obstructed by the blizzard. While he was controlling his strength from afar without his own being aware.

“Yeah, soon I'll be close to the wall I made. How'this? Do I have to let go? But how? I am still not proficient because only 3 months I studied with Chairman Arutala.”

Runo complained. He also thought ahead, what happened to his colleagues, and the failed plan. Now he is alone, in his own confusion and folly.

“It's my fault, I should have protected them because I'm the defense type, but ..I can't! I'm not strong!” his weakness with his hands shook violently.

“Whoever, help me!”
