The Degree

The Degree
Disarray


Explosion, there are many explosions happening at the same time. The cause is a human being doing a stupid act, a suicide bomb.


Many casualties immediately fell, even the Degree users on Haiyan's side started a mess so that a firefight occurred.


Arthur who was far enough away from the blast site remains affected, he has a fractured rib due to a stone fragment that hit him.


“Sial ... so this is what Indri.” means


He didn't expect such a suicide attack. Arthur started looking for Dong Wok. The man stepped back into the monas casually, without worrying about being hit by a shot.


“Bags ... he brought uncle Ardi.”


Arthur felt the situation was getting desperate. Wh why? Though he was the main character, but the situation seemed to no longer side with him.


“Arrange formation! Don't hesitate anymore and shoot them is the enemy!”


Hearing that the soldier who initially had doubts started the attack. In a short time this place became a bloody battlefield.


It was fortunate that he had ordered the expansion of the danger area. With this at least he could breathe a little relieved.


Arthur then grabs the walkie talkie and gives the order to the other corps.


“War has broken out. You quickly infiltrate the barricade, the priority is to save the prisoner. Air forces, deploy helicopters to monitor the situation. Make sure no enemy escapes.”


Although the situation is worrisome, Arthur has a lot of troops under his hands. Fortunately, Ardianto had introduced him to the army so that there was no conflict through his orders.


“Commander Arthur!” A soldier came to him in a hurry.


“What's up?” ask Arthur a little annoyed, “The situation is urgent so say it clearly!”


“Ready! It's related to the back line. There was a demonstration from ormas!”


“Hah? A demo? About what?” Arthur suddenly could not process his thoughts.


Demos at times like this, and to dangerous places right now. Such a foolish act when the situation is difficult.


“Yes! They say that we are doing something that is endangering the country. They assume that this is a conspiracy we made!”


No matter how many times you think about it, the reasons for the demonstration are absurd. Then, the timing was too fitting and Arthur wondered why the group could move so quickly like this.


Someone must be driving the mess, Arthur is very sure. If you have to guess, of course, Degree users will be the main suspects because only they dare to involve civilians.


“Who leads the demo?”


“She said “emissions Morgan”.”


Among the users of Degree Arthur is sure there is only one figure who has the name Morgan. A bastard who constantly ensnared him into a trap.


Arthur gritted his teeth and hit the ground, strongly shouting.


“RAY MORGAN!”


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


Indri and Ben ran away from the scene of the big explosion. It was fortunate that Indri knew a future where people would explode.


He can no longer change something like that. After all, if you want to change it then it must be done before Ardianto accepts a duel with Dong Wok.


“We should hurry as soon as possible. This is not a battle, but a war.”


From his dream, Indri saw many demonstrations in the back line and it will make civilians enter the Monas region. When that happens, chaos will break.


“It still takes a long time for your Degree to be back active, huh?” ask Ben Indri.


“Half hours, huh? I hope it was.”


Indri prepared the weapons and bulletproof vests he got from the corpses of the soldiers. Although the long barrel gun was quite heavy for him because he was still so exhausted thanks to his dream.


Even so it was the right action because what he got was worth it.


“Remember this, Ben. From this point on the situation will become uncontrollable. Try not to let your guard down and don't let yourself get killed.”


Ben used his finger as if to say "okay", Indri then nodded and led the way.


‘This is all still not how much. From the dream I saw, things were much more chaotic.’


All Indri can say is this battle will involve soldiers, Degree users and even civilians. It is not the same battle as before, but in a completely different scope.


“I wonder if Secret will just shut up while watching this destruction?”


Indri hopes that at least Secret gives something through the task of dampening this mess. Although Indri will usually take advantage through the situation as it is now, but only this time he is unable to do anything.


The options are very limited. For now all Indri thought about was finding two of his comrades before starting to gather the keys.


“It is likely that the demonstration movement was driven by Ray. He's such a man, relying on outside factors.”


In addition, Ray should be very understanding of the condition of the people of this country so that he can confidently do something like this.


Ray is not the one who will play on the surface directly, though now Indri doubts that. If Ray can do a lot just by controlling a few things, what if he's the one who intervenes on the field?


They are afraid that unwanted things will happen. Not just for him, but for everything.


“I hope only up here the mess you made, Ray. It's bad enough.”


Although Indri knows what the situation will be like in the future, but there is still a small chance that it will change. And, he could only hope at that small possibility.


Geck! Geck!


Ben snapped his finger and pointed to the sky. Indri stopped moving and hid under the trees while looking up.


“It ... sure Arthur is very vigilant, yes?” indri gumam.


In this situation only Arthur could order the state military to act given he was given full power by Ardianto.


There were currently three helicopters monitoring the situation by air, even Indri could see there were some soldiers shooting at people.


“If my assumptions are correct, Arthur's orders are to kill anyone who wanders inside the evacuation area. That means we also include target.”


Sounds cruel but it's a very reasonable choice. No fool would be able to roam the territory that had been emptied.


As Indri begins to think about how to move unnoticed, he finds an object flying towards the helicopter.


“Itu-!”


Benda— or rather an attack that glides like fireworks in the new year comes towards the helicopter, hitting it and causing destruction for the helicopter.


“Bazoka?! Where did it come from?”


Indri seeks its origin and it comes not far from its place. Ben then caught his attention and pointed in the other direction.


Again it was shocking, but what shook Indri not because of it but others.


“How is it possible? This ... is not in my dream.”


There was a future he could not see.
