THE COLD DAD
THE HORRORS THAT APPEAR IN WHICH ZONE! 2

Zaku's head was suddenly cut off! his mouth was torn apart. Sparks of Zaku's blood, spurts on Tama's face, and Saga's. Both are closest to Zaku.

All who had witnessed Zaku's death, were now silenced, and pale helpless. Their entire bodies were trembling in fear. They have not yet made a fight, but.. Their mentality had been damaged in just an instant, because of the incident.

Though Zaku was just challenging, but in a short time, he ended in a terrible way. They were instantly slapped into reality, Whatever they did everything had become futile.

They had to admit, if they were indeed powerless before the Gods. The current bodies of the Spirits, were being shackled by some invisible bond, either to the naked eye, or to the heavenly eye.

And they could do nothing but watch their friend's head roll down onto the ground, with the jaws of the mouth already split.The six Spirits were completely muddled, and were trembling in fear.

'T-no way, a-what happened..? I-this must be just a dream right..! If it is true that this is only a dream, then quickly wake up Rabarus. Until when do you have to see this pathetic thing..!' A few seconds passed.. Before long, Tama's nervous voice sounded, instantly resuscitating Rabarus' daydream.

"Dad.. Th-this.. W-what do we have to do? S-s-my brother. ti-no-no this can't happen right!! Answer me, Father.. Tell me if all this is not true!!! Hix.. Hiks.." insisted Tama, on the Father.

His heart and mind were filled with various emotions, he became extremely unstable. When he saw the corpse of his friend with a head that had been separated and lying on the ground.

Their lips seemed to be locked instantly, after witnessing Zaku's head hovering right before them. After being forced to see a terrible brutality.

Fear at the sight of Zaku's corpse, which they had considered to be his own brother was so heartbreaking.his only friend was the most stubborn, impatient, reckless, easily emotional, and the loudest among the rest. All his ridiculous behavior immediately came to light in the minds of the four Spirits, as well as the speechless Rabarus.

Desperation, and loss instantly broke into their hearts and minds.Tears poured down, drenching the four brothers who were now helpless to witness the tragic death of their brother. Their bodies cannot be moved.. Except for both hands. Because it has been bound by a supernatural bond.

"Dam.. Zakuuu.. Hix.. You little brat, why don't you listen to me motherfucker! If you listen to me, none of this will happen to you, you stupid, stubborn little boy. Hix... Hiks.why don't you have any fear of haah... Get up fucking fast..!!

Before I hit that stupid head of yours... Quick wake...

Why are you just quiet, you stupid boy. Zakuuu... Answer me fucking!!! quickly get up and reply to my words for saying you.hiks.. Don't joke, man, this isn't funny! Hix.. Hix.. Aagggghhhhh!!!Aaaaaauuuwwwww!!! Ahoooooowww!!!"

Tama's howl, sounded very loud and heartbreaking. Making his three brothers even sadder and sicker at the sight of their own brother, had to leave in a miserable way.

Telling, shout after shout, resounded loudly in the sky of the Mana Zone. Wailing, and howls of sadness continued to resound. Making the four Spirits, who had just listened to the swearing of the Fire Fox's fury.. At Zaku, continue to shed tears of sorrow.

And Roya, who has been silent since.. Now also lamenting the departure of his friend. Not only does Tama feel lost. The other three friends also felt the pain.

Moreover, Roya, the three of them are very close compared to the other three Spirits. Who tend to behave more like a brother to the three. While Tama, Roya, and Zaku are more silly and childish than the other three Spirits.

"Basic Zaku.. Why do you have to go this pathetic way, man...! You stubborn boy.. Hix.. Hicks.." Lamentations of Tama and Roya, make anyone who hears it.

Even Rabarus, who asked his son, was silent without saying anything. He was unable and unable to answer the question of his Son. Especially in such heartbreaking conditions.. Because he himself actually felt the most hurt among the other four Spirits.

There was a heavy burden that he had to bear on his own shoulders.. In addition to feeling lost, he also considered Zaku like his own Son. Rabarus lowered his face, and closed both eyes.

There are feelings of regret and guilt.. Which he could hardly reveal to anyone. Is held back her tears, to make them look strong.. But in Rabarus' heart, there was a raging feeling whipping his heart.

'What should I say to the Little Empress, and Your Majesty!? I have failed as a teacher, as well as a parent. Forgive this weak servant, your Majesty.. Servant has failed to carry out the mission of Your Majesty.

O Lord, if Your Majesty hears the voice of the servant..! The servant is willing to be punished whatever, even with his own life. Servant has failed to execute your command.

The servant was unable to face the Little Empress.. It is better that you just rule the law, Servant.' Rabarus's heartfelt groan is heard clearly in His Majesty's ear. The seconds and minutes have passed..

Not a single change occurred, an atmosphere of grief surrounded the five Spirit who were in mourning. With a body that has been shackled.

Likewise, Zaku's body is also shackled with other Spirits. Only his head escaped from the body, while Zaku's body, continued to bleed freshly.

Up to about Saga's body parts, and Tama. Saga seemed to be sculpting, he really could no longer speak. after witnessing the heartbreaking scenery.

Moreover, the blood of Zaku, who was relentlessly dripping fresh blood.The bodies of the headless White Lion, were still bound together with their bodies. Even though the hands of the Spirits were trying to untie the shackles, they were still unable to let go.

Moreover... The enemy they were facing right now, had still not appeared to them. They're getting confused! And don't know, what kind of opponent?

No sound, no form. Only the pressure from the terrifying energy felt continued to distort their bodies. Not only that, even a Rabarus was unable to trace the whereabouts of his opponent.

Only by challenging.. Even one of them has ended horribly. How could they dare to think of attacking!

Until something else startling appeared, it left the Spirits stunned in disbelief, with what they were seeing right now.

...****************...

In the Mansion, Zion who was relaxing suddenly felt an unpleasant premonition. He muttered to Argus, through his mind.

'But, I'll leave the Princess for a moment.'

Argus, who saw Zion's strange appearance, asked. 'Where are you going Senior?'

'You don't need to know.. I left first.' In a flash Zion, disappeared from sight.

'What really happened to Senior? Why does his face look so moody??' thought Argus, while occasionally paying attention to Ravella and Gapi.

Zion's heart, it's really not calm. He returned to his kingdom with a feeling of shock. As always, his presence is welcome. The Spirits bowed Respectfully to him.

Yet this time they did not dare to speak, as they saw the horrifying expression of their King. Which is not as usual. They waited for the King to speak.. However, the King just kept silent not flinching from his throne.

'Looks like this place is fine.. Everything seems safe. Then.. Why is my heart still so agitated? Could something have happened to Master??

Then I have to go back to the kemansion, and call the boy now. Hopefully nothing happens to him!'

After that Zion, left her kingdom, without saying anything to her subordinates. It confused everyone with the change in attitude of his king.

***

Arriving at the Lannox Workspace, Zion contacts the Master, who is now fighting Monter.

"Huh.. What did you call me when Zion wasn't right..? I'm busy right now. I'll call you back na.."

"Wait a little boy, this is important. Answer me, are you in danger now, or not? If it were, I'd be right where you are right now."

"Heah.. Are you underestimating me too much, Old Man! Don't you see, what am I doing right now? Bwusssh buuug." Lannox's voice was against the Monsters.

Seeing Zion's concern, Lannox tried to calm her down so as not to worry.

"Just calm.. I'm okay, Old Man. I'll be back once all the business here is done. I'll let you know later, tut." The connection was cut off.

'Yes, he does look fine. It doesn't even seem like he needs my help at all..! Why is my heart still not calm? What exactly happened??' zion thought, then went to the window.

He stared far away at the wide view from behind the window of Lannox's office. 'Grandpa... Ah right, what might have happened to Grandpa!!?

Hem.. It felt impossible, because Grandpa was currently training with the other Grandpa. Moreover, there was Old Man Fox, with them.

Then, I should just go back, I am not calm leaving the Princess to the Boy.' he thought again.. Immediately dismiss those concerns.

***

Unlike Zion, Ravella is directly connected to her Spirits. I felt a deep sadness and pain. Her tears suddenly spilled due to the pain she felt in her heart at this moment.

Gapi who saw the two eyes of his goddess who had been wet, immediately approached. He butted spoiled on Ravella.

"Goddess.. Why are you crying?" she asked while wiping Ravella's tears, with her Red face.

"Daughter, what really happened? Tell me who's been bothering you? Let me destroy them now."

"Ah, haha. calm down, Gapi, Argus. I'm not okay. It's just.. I suddenly feel sad."

"What kind of sadness do you say, Princess? If I can help you, I will, to make you not cry anymore." said Argus, wiping Ravella's tears, with his finger.

Zion who had just appeared, was immediately angry to see her beloved Princess who she had just left for a while, now even crying.

"What's this about? What happened to the Princess..? What did you eat my daughter until she cried, Argus?" zion asked, starting emotions.

"Relax Cake! This has nothing to do with Argus. It's just.. Suddenly I felt a bad feeling..!" she said while holding her chest, a worried expression appeared on her face.

"What.. So you too?"

"What Does Grandpa Mean? Does Grandpa feel the same way as me??" Ravella asked in surprise, upon hearing Zion's words.

While Argus and Gapi, even confused to see the reaction of the two.

...----------------...

In the Mana Zone.., Suddenly from a distance the eyes are open. Emerging Golden Dragon figure, which was very striking was walking slowly. Approaching the current Spirits, it looked desperate.

The four spirits who were grieving, felt an extremely familiar feeling. As their gaze was diverted, towards the glistening figure from a distance. The happy feelings of sadness mixed into one.. The tears that had continued to drip since earlier instantly stopped, upon seeing the presence of Emperor Zando.

The body is still shackled.. Paying respect to the figure they were so glorified by.

"Our respect, Your Majesty the Emperor." said the five Mana Beasts, simultaneously.

Emperor Zando walked through the air, and stopped right before the Spirits, who currently did not dare to look him in the face.

"Lift your faces" he said as he watched the five Spirits.

After hearing the Emperor's orders.. They raised their faces.However, their gazes still bowed sadly and did not dare to look at the Emperor. Because I feel guilty, and ashamed. With what happened to Zaku, and their messy selves.

"Hmmm.." Emperor Zando stared, The Mana Beast's incompetence is full of meaning.

Rabarus who was frightened by the anger of the Emperor, muttered quickly.

"Baginda.. Don't punish them, all of this happened because of the negligence of the servant who was not able to protect the Spirit Master." he called Ravella, with Kata Master. Because he remembered, if Emperor Zando ever called Princess Ravella, with the title Master. When in the form of a dragon.

"Hem.. We'd better talk at the base." In an instant, they've moved.

The body that had been bound was now free. Feeling the shackles on their bodies had been removed, and their bodies had shrunk again. The fourth Mana beast, quickly kneeled begging for forgiveness.

"We are guilty, Sire.. No matter what you say, we are willing to accept punishment for failing to protect our brother." said Tama, and others at the same time.

Rabarus who did not want to see the four Spirits in the law.. Continue muttering.

"no, my lord, they are not wrong. It's entirely the fault of the servant. Just law servant, who had failed to protect the Second Spirit Master. I beg Your Majesty for consideration, to release these four children" he pleaded with sincerity.

Saw that.. Tama did not remain silent. He did not want to see his father in law. And back to mumbling. However, he had not yet spoken, his words were immediately stopped, The Emperor.

"Heah.. Thats enough. I don't want to hear anything else, from you guys."

"But For..." Tama, get back to talking. But cut it off, Emperor.

"Enough, the five of you wake up, look at me. I'll just go straight to her core." she rang.

The five Spirits exchanged glances, they were astonished by the reaction of the Emperor, who was currently grinning.

"Sir.." Emperor Zando, flicking his finger. And in an instant, the figures of Jura and Zaku, appeared before them, in good health without any injuries. The two now approached the Place of the Emperor, who was sitting on his throne while resting his chin on his fist.

Seemed the grin of the two Spirits, who were greeting sinlessly. To their friend, who currently looked extremely shocked. It was as if they were seeing a ghost.

"Hide... Hii.. Do you miss me!!" chirp Zaku, who had just appeared with a meaningful grin. Then he sat down on the left, Sang Kiasar, grinning at the five Spirits.

"Ekhem.. I'm back." said Jura, looking timid. He sat down at the right hand side, the Emperor.

"You guys....., how can you two!!" gira's Speech, Stop. It was cut by the Emperor.

"The "tragedy you saw was just an illusion. Tik." said the Emperor flicking his finger back.

And instantly Jura's body had frozen, and Zaku's body was headless. It instantly disappeared into dust flakes, which flew through the air. The five Spirits were made dumbfounded, as well as feeling relieved.

"Damn it, so it turns out you're alive, you son of a bitch..!" chirp Tama, who quickly hugged Zaku. Same with Roya.

"You're really brazen a cruel cat. Plaque." said Roya hit Zaku on the head, then continued to hug him. The three Mana Beasts looked happy, having known that his brother was still alive.

"Hey.. Oi.. What's the matter? Stay away from me, you're disgusting." said Zaku, trying to escape the arms of his two friends.

Saga, Gira, Jura, and Rabarus. Seemed relieved to see the three Mana Beasts, had re-united.

"Hehe.it looks like this place is going back to being noisy..!" said Rabarus, who also felt relieved after seeing the three fight again, then laughed again.

Rabarus now began to put on a serious face, and spoke to the smiling Emperor looking at the three Spirits, which belonged to his Empress. While Saga, and Gira, approached the direction of Rabarus, and Jura.

"So, was that your deed, sire..?"

The three Spirits who were currently fighting, fell silent again. And began to seriously listen to the question of Rabarus. Because they were also curious about the enemies that had attacked them, and could enter the Mana Zone.

"You're right, that's what I did!" he grins.

Rabarus and the others gasped, hearing a speech they had never expected at all, now coming out of the mouth of the Emperor.

"A-Have we made a mistake, Sire?" rabarus asked carefully, having experienced the terrible danger earlier.

Emperor Zando was still silent, seeing no reply from the Emperor's mouth. No spirit would dare to speak. Remembering what they just experienced. A sense of despair, a fear that made the whole body tremble in fear.

Other than Rabarus and Jura, the Five Mana Beasts. It had never felt directly, and the feeling of fear they had just experienced earlier, was their first. The atmosphere became tense and silent for a moment. There was no response from the Emperor.

'Hell, why is he just quiet..? may I have made a mistake, asking..!' I think Rabarus is starting to worry.

While the Emperor, who had heard the thoughts of Rabarus, only smirked faintly. Moments later, Emperor Zando again let out his baritone voice.

"Hm.. Since I haven't seen you for a long time, I wanted to play for a while. And see how far you have progressed." said the Emperor, but before long a look of disappointment lay on the face of the Golden Dragon.

Making the seventh Mana Beast bow in embarrassment.. The seven Spirit Beasts, did not dare to speak and stared at the slightest bit on Emperor Zando's face.

"Sir.. Tuk.. Tuk.." In the silence, there was the sound of the Emperor's finger tapping. "For now, stop your training. It's time for you to breathe the outside air.. And for both of you!" The Emperor stared at Jura, Dan Rabarus.

"Meet me, Guard, now. And wait for me there." His orders, with a serious face.

"Okay, your word is a command for us. Then we beg you to resign." said both at the same time, then both disappeared.

After the departure of the two, there were now only four Mana Beasts, who were still waiting for orders from the Emperor. Emperor Zando, fixedly staring at the four Spirits, with a face still bowed in fear.
