The Angkara Murka
The Book of Tri Deshi Baba Limapuh Lima
Marsudi fell down in panic. His left shoulder bone which was fractured because it was hit by a mysterious figure called Gatotkaca by the media did not recover as usual. The pain that ran through his nerves screamed, forcing his brain to realize how urgent the situation was right now.
The silhouette of Gatotkaca plunged down to earth two hundred meters in front of Marsudi.
Marsudi did not expect so far his body was thrown to hit the rocks of the hills and make it fall apart. At first he was happy to get a balanced opponent for his new skills. During his life, gaining this kind of strength and devotion was his longing, his dreams and even had become his sole purpose in life. When he managed to have it, of course he already felt like a god. Marsudi did not feel that human life had a price because they were considered to have a much lower level than his status as a god. Thus, only other gods were able to satisfy him.
In fact, the greatness and perfection of his power was not yet a full day old when he was forced to swallow the bitter pin of the reality of life.
Marsudi was about to stand up to fly back to hit the opponent before he realized that his power was lost like dust blown by the wind.
All courage and self-confidence suddenly fell from his soul especially when in a split second he saw the figure of Gatotkaca who now has even shot towards him.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
...Wait for the next novel that specifically tells the story of Gatotkaca as well as the sequel to the novel Babad Angkara Murka entitled 'Sang Tetuka Adiwira'....
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
A resident stabbed one of the policemen in the thigh with a crowbar as the policeman with his long barrel gun hunted down residents hiding in various buildings that were partially destroyed and burned.
The wound on the policeman's thigh did not heal as quickly as it did before, when residents saw Gatotkaca paralyzing them by injuring them. The screams of pain that came from the mouth of the policeman were very bitter.
Seeing this, the citizens burst out of their hiding places because they realized that the science of the police officers who made them recover after a dangerous and even deadly attack had disappeared completely, completely.
Instead, the police officers only began to realize when the hot lead drizzle of their weapons had begun to run out and waves of residents stormed and beat their bodies before they could open fire. Awareness of the loss of their knowledge makes the police stooge Affandi panicked and do not know what they should do. Apparently strength and power really make humans forget themselves and laugh.
Irawan shouted out loudly, "Friends, friends, please hold your emotions! Please don't be in a hurry!"
Irawan's screams were then overpowered by other residents of the Army such as Hamdan and Dul Matin who also shouted to hold other residents who were burning emotions not to dirty their hands with the blood of the criminals.
They observed that a mysterious figure with extraordinary powers, an Adiwira, who they knew was known as Gatotkaca, had repeatedly incapacitated the attackers by inflicting them severe injuries. But unlike the other four high-scientific heroes who also fought supernatural beings and sick people with black knowledge, Gatotkaca seemed to avoid murder. Gatotkaca like having a certain moral code to not eliminate human lives even though they are clearly people of evil character, and even though Gatotkaca itself has a magic that is above average, and even though the, even more than the other four heroes.
Although the screams of Irawan, Hamdan, Dul Matin and several other residents were finally heard, the victims remained unavoidable. Two police officers were killed by the silence of the residents, one of whom was a policeman who was stabbed in the crowbar earlier.
Those who died did not rise again. Those who were seriously injured did not recover. Everything was successfully captured by the citizens.
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
"You think they can clean this up?" wong Ayu asked Soemantri Soekrasana. The four of them stood on the plateau looking from afar at the smoke and fire rising down there.
Soemantri Soekrasana shrugged her shoulders. He was rolling a cigarette. Before burning the cigarette, he offered to Wong Ayu who was then rejected, including to Sarti and Anggalarang who also rejected him.
"We've been making too much trouble these few days. Too many victims from the people. Moreover, Sarti has convinced us that Gatotkaca has managed to paralyze Marsudi and the citizens also managed to silence his minions," replied Soemantri Soekrasana with a cigarette stuck to his lips.
"Doesn't that mean we lose our responsibilities and feel cowardly?" this time it was Anggalarang who spoke.
Soemantri Soekrasana reflected her cigarette smoke. "Do you think we're cowards, Sarti?"
The one asked replied casually, "Who cares? Are we heroes, superheroes, Adiwira? Let people assume that Gatotkaca is the hero, we're just sorting out the problems that need to be resolved."
Suddenly Wong Ayu looked at his comrades one by one. "I'm the source of the problem. I should not have dragged anyone into this matter, both the citizens and the innocent and of course you. I'm the most responsible for this. It's good if I can do more to make up for or at least take responsibility for the mess I've caused."
Anggalarang scratching his chin which does not seem to itch. "I think the female devil will still find a way to get out of her world even without you, Wong Ayu. The maung inside me was called because he heard the word 'Obong' repeated. So, actually Obong village is the main point of appearance of the devil, you are just a tool. Now, we are all tools as well, but as a form of resistance against that demon. Then, what's the point of feeling sinful like that?"
Sarti clasped his hands together in front of his chest.
"I agree, Anggalarang. All my life, people have proven to never be finished with their problems. I have always been involved in political turmoil, war and disputes. Even now I don't really understand why I'm alive."
Sarti aka Ratna Manggali tightened her arms in front of her chest like she was feeling cold. He looked far ahead, not to what moment.
"I've killed a lot of people over the years. Good people, bad people, people who don't understand anything. I walk by the side of kings and despots or under great and honest presidents. I've been through everything, for what? I don't know. I just do my job in life. I'm walking forward. Maybe you should be like that too, Wong Ayu. We humans do not stop sinning. Do what needs to be done. Maybe we, Chess Angkara, are indeed the universal tools for world balance. At least in this life I am not bored because I do not need to do everything myself. There you guys."
Soemantri Soekrasana swore she saw a thin smile on Sarti's lips.
