Somewhere in the lab...
Grac!
It looks like a very messy room. There were scattered everywhere on the floor of the room. There was a woman in her white lab coat looking for something.
"Where?! Where they put that thing!"
The woman continued to look for something with a slightly panicked face. He continued to gnaw on every side of the room starting from the table, drawers, cabinets and all the storage in the room.
Taps... Taps... Taps...
There were footsteps from outside the room. There was a man in his army clothes and carrying his firearm. He walked towards the open room while pointing his gun towards the front.
He walked carefully and prepared to ambush any intruders who entered his place. A moment in front of the door of the room, he peeked a little in the gap of the door that opened a little.
Upon seeing what was inside, he was shocked that someone had torn the room apart and saw someone familiar to him.
When he found out who it was, he immediately entered and locked the door of the room from the inside.
"Yeah!!" Instantly the woman was shocked because someone broke through her place violently. "You startled me, why are you?"
"I asked like that, honey. What are you doing here and making the place a mess, plus this is your data collection room. Didn't you say you didn't have access to the data room? Only your superiors can get in here."
The woman was silent and was still busy gnawing at something. But his face showed a clear sadness, so that the man immediately understood what happened to his woman.
"Darling, what really happened? Why do you look so worried?"
The woman was still silent as she was busy looking for something. Since there was not much time left, he explained it more briefly.
"You know the original purpose of our research, right?"
"Yes I know, you guys are doing experiments to create biological weapons using monsters and monster cores (Krimon), right."
"That's true, but it turns out all of it was just a small alibi act to reduce oversight from the association."
"So you mean... There are still other experiments besides this?"
The woman simply nodded and continued her search again. This man who understood the situation helped to find him, even though he did not know what kind of goods to look for.
After a few minutes of searching, this man accidentally shifted one by one the book aligned neatly in alphabetical order.
"Eh? What is this little box?"
He found a small wooden box with gold and each wood carving, there was a kind of strange and ancient writing and a mysterious symbol in the middle.
"Darling, I found a strange box" he said as he thrust the box toward the woman.
The woman saw him and was very surprised and her eyes were teary.
"Thank God, I finally met you. Thank you, my husband."
The woman picked it up and looked at each side of the box, and she thought it was what she had been looking for all along.
"It's like it can't be opened, man" said the man as he pointed the long-aligned firearm towards the box. "Resert, Honey. I'm gonna break this box up a little bit, so it can open."
"Don't!" As the trigger began to pull, the woman held her husband to fire. Looks like this woman knows very well what this box will look like if it is damaged. "We can't just damage it, because the box is covered in protective magic spells. Anyone who tried to open it or forced it open, the protective magic in this box would hurt the person who tried to damage it. The only way to open this box is to break the seal or release the seal through the person who put this seal."
This man was very grateful in his heart, because he was an ordinary person who had nothing magic in him. It only complicates the state of his body later if it is damaged by that magical power.
"So, to whom do you want to break this seal? What's the owner?" Ask the man.
"Of course I know who can break this seal. We have to go now, only he thinks he can open this box."
"You mean... Mr Agus?"
The woman nodded and asked her husband to come with her. Because their safety will no longer survive if caught carrying this valuable object.
The two of them decided to exit this gigantic laboratory through the emergency exit without anyone knowing. And ride their parked car right by the exit.
Brrek...!
They immediately gas-fired and left the location as soon as possible, before the men realized their actions.

At 08:11
A moment on the way...
Looks like a car that is driving fast enough and careful.
"Can I now know what's really going on?" Ask the man while driving.
The woman was just pensively looking at the car's glass window while tightly hugging the box. After a while of this silence, he finally opened his voice :
"As I said before, there were other experiments besides the manufacture of the weapon. The manufacture of magic weapons from monster materials is normal every big company like PT. Hanjee. But... When I was sent and included in the central experiment, I couldn't believe what I saw there...!"
The sound of his wife's voice trembling and the husband could not bear to ask his wife to tell her trauma. But since he was a soldier, it was his duty to hear all that information for the sake of mutual security.
"What experiments are they doing there?"
The woman was still trembling considering the incident, but she had to make up her mind for her life as well.
"Maybe you will get angry when you hear this. That the experiment they were doing in the center of the lab was using humans."
As his wife said, immediately the husband was angry and visible from both hands squeezing tightly the steering wheel of the car.
"Continue!"
Because it was already done, the woman continued that experiments that use humans as the main material turned out to have a purpose. He said that the one who asked for this experiment at the same time who had an idea for this experiment was Gading Himar, a Venandi Rank-S in Indonesia.
"I don't think that jerk did such a despicable thing! He should have used his power to protect mankind!"
Regret begins to peak from the husband if he hears and knows that this pillar of the country has done something like this.
"But while I was doing experiments there. There is still someone else besides Ivory. She is a woman with blonde hair and looks very sexy. I looked with my own eyes and was very surprised, it turned out that the woman was able to absorb the energy of one's life to death. I don't think he's the only one who can do that, maybe their colleagues are still behind him, and this experiment might have a purpose with them."
"Maybe that woman is not human, since the emergence of dungeons, now the impossible is no longer surprising because it can be realized in today's times. And using humans as a source of nutrition, they will be a threat to all mankind, we must immediately tell Mr. Agus."
The wife agreed and the husband asked again about the box he was holding.
"This box is the only one hindering their experiment. Even if it's only temporary."
"What is the content of the city?"
"The contents of this box are a key."
"Key?"
"Yes, there are twelve keys and one of them is on me. Every key has been in every corner of the experimental lab center in the world and in Indonesia one of them. I don't know what this key is for, but I think it's an important item and I've seen the contents once when the blonde lady gave it to the head of the lab."
"If there's such an important item, why would you keep it in such a careless place. Don't you feel weird about it?"
"On that..."
The wife looked a little moody at this carelessness. The husband knows his wife's attitude and he who has a sharp feeling, has felt strange since seeing this box for the first time.
Silence began to occur in the car again and only the sound of the car engine roaring in it. After that silence, tears immediately fell down the cheeks of the wife.
"Darling, can we go home first? I miss the kids so much and I'd love to see their faces and kiss them."
Hearing that heartfelt request and unable to resist it, he realized that the current situation was not good if they had to go home now. But the yearning is peaking and not knowing when they will feel missed again her children.
"Yes, let's go home. I miss them too."
Brreck!
The speed of the car is added a little because their time is not much.
...•••...
At 08.23
A car arrives at a house...
The wife went straight to her house, but she paused for a moment at the door to wipe away the sadness on her face and started knocking on the door.
Geck... Geck... Geck...
"Yes.. just a minute!"
The voice of the angel of her heart came from inside their house, and it made her heart even more sad when she found out about her fate with her husband.
The husband next to her patted her on the shoulder and nodded his head with a smile. Seeing that the wife must be strong in front of her children so that they do not worry.
Crews! Cuckoo...
A young man opened the door and was shocked to find out who was knocking.
"Eh! Mommy, Daddy!"
There were faces of joy from their young people who welcomed his arrival warmly. The two of them immediately entered the palace which became the safest place of their family.
"Where are the Twins?" Ask the father.
"They're still sleeping. Though I told them several times not to go straight to play after breakfast, so they fell asleep immediately after playing."
Hearing that made these two old men smile after learning of the petty actions of their little angel.
"Are you studying, honey?" Ask mom while glancing towards the living room table.
"I'm studying to prepare for the college entrance test later. Next month the test has already begun, so I have to be ready to deal with it."
The two of them were happy if their firstborn was very active in learning, but on the other hand they were very sad because they would not see that happiness again.
"Alright, continue your studies. Mom and Dad should pick something up in the room first" she said.
The young man just nodded and went back to his desk. While his parents had to go upstairs to go to their room, to pick something up there.
"We also have to prove their crimes, because we don't know where we're going to survive."
The cup!
The two round eyes looked at each other for a moment and the soft lips that touched each other gently. After that they hugged to release the momentary sadness.
"You don't worry, we'll definitely come back and be with the kids again."
"Hmm," she replied as she nodded and wiped away her tears.
The wife immediately took all the data documents regarding the experiment and collected them in a folder. The husband who looked at his room with a moment, enough to make himself sad because he thought he would leave a heavy burden for his children.
Not wanting the grief to hurt him, he put his hope in a small drawer in his closet.
"Darling, why did you put your gun in there?"
"I also don't know why I should keep it here. But I feel like one day this thing will save Arkha's every fight."
Hearing that made the wife smile for a moment and immediately left their room again. But before they left this residence, they had to stop in one of their twin nursery rooms.
The mother who opened the door slowly and saw her two cute children had fallen asleep soundly after playing until she was satisfied.
Because of her great longing, the mother approached the two of them slowly and stroked their heads gently to avoid waking up.
Cup... Cup...
"Take care of yourself" murmured.
He gave a soft kiss on the forehead of their twin little angel. The wife, who saw her husband turn away from her, knew that her husband was also unable to leave their children. And prefers to endure this sadness, even though he promises himself that he does not want this sadness to make him hurt. But a father's heart will not have the heart to leave his children who are still innocent and do not know what about this world.
"Sorry to keep you waiting" said the wife, patting her husband on the shoulder.
"It's okay" she replied, wiping away her tears.
After a while, they went back down to the floor carrying the necessary items. The firstborn who saw it was astonished and got up from his seat.
"Dad and Mom want to go again? I thought you guys were home."
"I'm sorry, honey. Mom and Dad just picked up a few things left in the room. Oh yeah, have you eaten? I'll make something."
"I've eaten. But you guys seem to be in such a hurry, did something happen?"
The medenger made the two couples look at each other for a moment and they knew what his eldest son was like, that he was very sensitive to the lies and honesty of their words when talking to him.
"Nothing happened. We're just in a hurry because Mom forgot this important data."
"That's it."
Although it sounded like that, it seemed that his eldest son still did not believe their words to him.
"Son, take this and use it well" said the father, giving him a card and a bankbook.
"Isn't this the savings of Father and Mother, why it was given to me. What will you wear then?"
"You don't worry about that, I still have national savings held by the government. Well.. although the liquid is a bit long anyway, but once liquid money a lot, really."
Their eldest son nodded and remembered the message of his parents.
While his parents were at the door, they turned and saw the rest of their comfortable home. Various feelings and memories were here, his eldest son who saw his parents acting strange instead made him even more suspicious of something happening to them.
Realizing being stared at like that by their son, the father came forward before him and held both shoulders and said :
"Son, no matter what happens to Father and Mother, you must always look after and protect your Sisters. I'm asking you to take care of yourself as best you can when we're not here."
Hearing that made Arkha confused and made himself start to worry about what happened to these two parents.
"Where are Mom and Dad going?"
The father heard the question very hard for him, because he could not leave his children and take his hands off his shoulders. The mother saw that immediately answered her question :
"We're not far away, dear." answered the mother and kissed Arkha on the forehead. "Mom and Dad will be gone for a while, so take good care of your sisters."
Hearing that answer made Arkha's heart calm down a little. He just nodded and his parents left him. They both set their feet in the face of danger.
Brreck!
Arkha who saw his parents leave in a hurry really made himself very worried about them.
"I hope nothing bad happens to Mom and Dad."
...•••...
At 09.08
A car is speeding up on a highway...
Brreck!
It seems that these two couples are very worried about them, but their sense of justice is much greater than their fear. Even though they know they can't escape their clutches anymore.
"Hiks...!" The woman was crying while hugging the box tightly. "I'm sorry! Because of my selfishness, you have to get involved and you have to leave our children."
"What are you talking about. The thing that you did was right, you must not have the heart to see the people you experimented with would have died in vain, right? This time do not waste their hope of justice, and if I am in your position then I will do the same."
Hearing that made this woman's heart very happy and she was very grateful to have been put together with such a great man like her.
Freeeckk!!!
"Yeah!!!"
"Geegh...!!"
Suddenly their car floated up and a few people appeared right in front of their car, with white robes covering its entire body and masks covering its face.
"Me-they're already here!"
"We need to get out of here fast!"
As the pair tried to get out, suddenly their car was thrown into the abyss.
The bomb!!
So that made the car he was driving exploded and so did the two of them who had no survivors.
But nevertheless...
"Huk...! Huk! Darling..."
Seeming the husband still with the rest of his energy, he tried to get out of the burning car and cried to see his beloved woman was not right in front of his eyes.
Hap...
He tried to reach the box with difficulty that had been released from the hands of the wife. But what power, with its horn-tipped condition makes itself very difficult.
"Hiks...! No...! Please... anyone. don't let... they... take it...! I beg... Yes God!"
Not wanting the hope of his beloved wife in vain, he tried hard with his last hope before losing himself completely.
"Huh?"
Before his eyes closed completely, before his last breath blew in his throat. Finally his hope was not in vain, he saw that someone in his last blurred vision had taken the box.
This man felt very relieved that this stranger had taken the box, he felt that this stranger was not part of his enemy. Just as his last breath was ready to be exhaled, this man said two things:
"Protect.. human..."
After saying that, finally the rest of her life in the world had disappeared completely. At the same time the stranger had disappeared from his place after taking the box.
Pips... Pips... Pips...
The drops of the earth's cry have fallen and soaked his children. His cries grew so loud that it made the sky almost collapse.
...•••...
At 09.48
On the other side...
Jeder!!!
Suddenly the loud sound of the roar of the sky had made anyone's ears almost break.
Jeder!!!
"Yahoo!!!"
"Baaahh... Daddy's! Mama!"
The roar of the sky was puffing up and making a shock and fear of the twins who were sleeping soundly.
Taps! Taps! Taps!
Crews! Ngeck!
"What's up?!"
The young man, the twin brother, came in a bit of panic, hearing his younger siblings screaming.
"Sister...!"
"I'm afraid of lightning!"
The twins immediately hugged his brother tightly and the brother tried to calm his sisters.
"It's okay, Brother is here now."
But on the other hand, his heart had become increasingly uncomfortable since this rain had fallen quite profusely. Because he remembered his parents who looked very worried.
"Dad... Mum..."
