ORION
The Burning Fire
It's not the first time Orion has had to face someone like them. But what the fuck now? They offered a candy bar to bribe a little boy into obeying them?
Plaque! Orion is wrathful because of his pride as an old grandfather is hurt. He hit the hand of one of the men who had just offered a candy bar so that the candy fell to the ground.
“You think I'd be fooled with milk candy like that, huh?!” shouted Orion.
Seemed they were surprised not kepalang when they saw the look of Orion's face that was angry like a child in general. Initially silent, they all gathered in front of Orion, who was still raging.
“Hey, boy! You don't know anyone older than you, do you?”
“What?! I should have said that! You—”
“Hah, it turns out he's not a plain boy. Quickly tie and take him to the cage.”
It was heard and clearly seen from their cold faces when facing the current Orion. Now they're done with the bad acting and will do it blatantly.
“Don't think you guys can catch me!” orion shouted stubbornly. But there was no plan so he ran away from them from the opposite direction.
“Where are you boy?”
But the so-called steps of small children, barely comparable to adults, especially with such close proximity, Orion will be easily captured by them.
One of them pulled his arm, but Orion was shocked. He looked back and subconsciously his punch flew into the man's face, drowning and stepping back.
“Ukh!” He grimaced in pain.
At a glance, a smoldering fire was clearly visible on Orion's fist. As a result he punched the face of a man to make a blackish hulking there. Some of the teeth he had fell out and his body collapsed. It also draws blood from the mouth.
This scene in an instant brought the situation of silence back. The others looked back at Orion with sharp eyes.
“A-I was by accident!” orion shouted for a moment after gulping. He ran back as fast as he could.
“Hey, come here!”
They were hysterical once, already so on a big road like this it was hard to find another way to hide. Especially in cities like this the most is a big highway. It was difficult to outwit them, Orion pried himself on and on until sweat poured down profusely.
“Hah ..hah ..yeah, geez! They are really not tired ..hah, or maybe because I am weakened ...”
He has been running for a long time now. He was panting with a lot of sweat soaking up his clothes. The fate he went through now was very heavy, especially for the body of this little boy. Even escaping is difficult.
“Uh, I felt nimble for a moment but my stamina sucks enough. Is it because I'm old, huh?” orion thought, clenching his right hand.
Furious at the misfortune that had befallen him. When he thought that this was the inevitable curse. Neither the past nor the present makes any difference.
In the seconds before they reached Orion's current position, he recalled that his punch had just let out a fire. And now, as he clenched his hands tightly, that power appeared again.
It began with a flash of fire and then turned into a fire large enough to cover the fist. The color of the pride is smoldering, the heat feels overwhelming.
“This is great!” orion shouted in amazement at him.
His admiration vanished in an instant when one of them managed to catch up and now strangled Orion's neck. At that time the urban road in housing was quite quiet so that not many people knew of this incident.
“Urgh ..le-let go! Ukh!” Orion thrashed in pain. His muscles stiffened and white foam came out of his mouth. Hands that are still covered by fire are not getting extinguished but are getting bigger.
“Bocah don't know it's lucky. We were kind enough to take you without hurting you. But since you've rebelled, then there's no other way. If you hadn't acted rashly,” she said and tightened Orion's stranglehold.
It feels like Orion's collarbone is about to break. Perhaps he would die this time however, his body was always reacting unnaturally. His instincts move when the brain is unable to think.
Still struggling and moaning in pain, Orion attempted to grab the hand that was strangling his neck at the moment. With that hand wrapped in a burning fire.
“Hey, be careful on the boy!” Another warned him, for he knew and saw the power of Orion coming out.
After Orion touched the man's hand, immediately the fire spread and burned the arm to his body quickly. As if the oil was contained there, Orion was shocked when he watched it directly.
As he let go of his strangulation, Orion fell down and saw the man writhing in pain with his body burned alive.
“Basic monster!” sniff the other guy. Looked in disbelief and disdain at Orion.
“Not all NED Fighters are the same!” sahut Orion with a high voice.
Being annoyed and not knowing what to do now, he ran back to the direction he had left. His body was trembling with fear. He was really afraid that because of this power would make Orion a criminal. Unconsciously his eyes began to glaze over, slowly tears flowed out soaking his face as he bit his lower lip until it was injured and bleeding.
Brak! And subconsciously too, he entered the super-large house again. Slam one of the doors of the room and startle the person inside.
For a moment he was silent, then sat on the floor with his legs limp. Then he coughed in front of them.
None other than Gista and Mahanta in there. They were stunned by Orion's sudden arrival.
“The outside world isn't as beautiful as you once imagined, is it?” chirp Mahanta let out a short breath.
“Welcome back, Orion Sadawira.” Gista greeted as he nodded his head.
With a trembling body, Orion was still unable to answer anything. He just sat down and lowered his head deeply. Not looking at the faces of both of them.
“Why did I get here, anyway?”
Even Orion himself still did not understand the situation. Because instinct made Orion come here, as if this was the right decision for him to take.
Mahanta approaches him and lifts Orion's body and takes him to a short chair. Slowly his breathing returned to order in such a way. Looking at Orion's burning hand, it seemed that he understood the situation outside of him.
“You must have just fought. Given that you cannot control your strength, that person will definitely die,” said Mahanta with a serious face.
Glanced at Gista then looked back at Orion's face and said, “But, calm down. One of us took care of him, and he's safe. So don't feel burdened.”
“From today, you may be involved in more dangerous things as long as you come with me. Are you ready, Orion? The world that is now much different from years ago,” continued Gista explained.
