THE URBAN Of EMPIRE

First mission : Hunting the ”Rapid Lions”.

First Mission: Hunting The "Rapid Lions".

Mr. Ringga hurried down the stairs to the fifth floor, towards the control center, which was one floor below. Followed by Pandu and Sebastian behind him. His attention was fixed on the computer screen in front of him, with a programmer who served as a field supervisor.

"Okay Rudy, what do you find", mentioned the name of the seventeen-year-old man.

"Looks like I've managed to find some movement of the person we were looking for, sir?"

"Oh, yes? Like what?" Asked Mr. Ringga, his eyes still watching the screen.

You see, Sir, after monitoring for several days, the tool that we synchronize with several monitoring cameras at various angles, Thermal Cameras, and what is significant is the Cellular Identification Hack system that we designed works perfectly.

"Can you immediately know the position of the target?" Asked Mr. Ringga.

Rudy then entered some code and pressed the enter button ....,

"Waalaah ..., please sir!"

Rudy stood up, allowing Mr. Ringga to see in more detail. Sure enough, the data that came out was very significant. Starting from the IP number. Addresses, mobile transaction locations, conversations, to trash bin data, on the device used by the target have been successfully compromised. The real-time location is seen flashing on the monitor screen for a moment while the target is using the device, then.

"Pandu, Sebastian ..., you've seen, the target data will be automatically confirmed on your respective devices."

"Your task is waiting, now carry it out!" Ordered Mr. Ringga then

Sebastian and Pandu opened the notification that had been entered on their device, containing different target data. Sebastian reads some information about the target with the following description:

Name Rangga, "Rapid Lions".

Weight: 60 kg.

Height: 175cm.

Age: 18 years / boy.

Skill: Fighter Weapon.

Level: Unidentified.

Class: Bio Evolution.

Whereas in Pandu the target is a girl.

Name Thania, "Eagles".

Weight: 40 kg.

Height: 168cm.

Age: 16 years / female.

Skill: Fighter Cure Weapon.

Level: Unidentified.

Class: Bio Evolution.

The additional information is that they were always together. Their last detected location was on a reclaimed island. Shopping and entertainment area for “GameFighter”, to be precise, on “G” island.

The atmosphere still looks lonely, maybe it's still too early. The Game Store has not shown any activity because it is still closed, only a few cleaners are seen passing by.

"Sebastian, I think it's best, I will make observations from there!" Pandu announced his plan by pointing at a building tower that was in the middle.

"Okay, I'll go comb the island area starting from the front of the main gate," said Sebastian.

Then they put on earphones to communicate with each other, just about to separate, the two of them had the feeling someone was watching. Sure enough, from a distance, four men with a skater boy looked approaching.

“Looks like someone is far away in the wrong place!” The one who looked like the leader was bluffing.

Sebastian saw that the four men suddenly gave off the same light, red enveloping the body. Immediately, Sebastian puts on a stance but is immediately blocked by Pandu.

"Hold on, Bass! Don't be careless! ”Then they explained that they were not a“ Cluster ”and declared that they would face them.

The four men immediately released long-distance punches which turned out to be compressed winds, which are commonly known as internal power. Pandu did not flinch, the red-colored blows repeatedly did not hit his body. Now it was Pandu's turn to react. With a slight jolt, his body emitted green light, and the light changed shape into a large hand, grabbing the four men.

Unexpectedly, the four of them looked like they were moving, bound together, huddled together. Pandu approached and said, "Looks like you were ordered by someone, who ?!"

Sebastian suddenly felt something in the sky that was brown and like a yellow light. Orange flashed quickly, jumping from tower to tower. Pandu, who is doing the interrogation, gets distracted and understands Sebastian's signal, and the two of them scatter following the light that Sebastian was pointing at.

At a glance, the orange light that was detected was getting farther away but Sebastian accidentally noticed that there were traces left behind.

With confidence, Sebastian traced the residue of light into a basement parking lot, his ears catching up like a growl. Immediately, Sebastian approached, and sure enough ..., in front of him stood a tall man staring irritably at a motorbike with a flat tire. His eyes turned yellow the second he turned and glared at Sebastian as if defiant.

"Heh ... what do you need Lo!" he snapped at Sebastian. Without pausing to pause, he immediately jabs at Sebastian, making him a little startled as he parries it with his hand. The tremors caused by the colliding hands made the attacker suddenly change into a lion and ready to pounce.

Realizing that the opponent has changed his form, Sebastian positions himself to make a shield with his arms ready to attack. The attacker, in the form of a lion, starts swinging his hand. Immediately, orange claws point toward Sebastian's neck.

Sebastian parried with his right hand, a splash occurred ... his hand was stung by the impact. Feeling the adrenaline in his body pumping, his chest felt warm and gave off a silver light. Sebastian accidentally clenched his fist and then launched a forward attack ...., and!?

Blaaar ..... !!!

An explosion echoed out, the opponent held back ... then threw a punch into the air ... White smoke was rising ... Sebastian was completely shocked now, the embodied lion before him roared ... !!

Very hard ..!

The air that was generated pressed his body backward, “What should I do now ?!” Sebastian thought while he was no longer given a chance by the opponent.

Finally, Sebastian moved his arms forward and puffed out his chest, then unconsciously his right palm glowed a dazzling yellow, forming a keris. The opponent took out a silver claw ...

The two of them advanced while lifting, swinging their hands with their respective weapons ...., in a moment there was an impact ... Suddenly ...

Stop....!!!

The second hand that was about to collide seemed to be caught by a thick green light…, “Pandu? Sebastian thought as he turned his head. The two of them immediately lowered their hands to cancel their original intention. Then Pandu heard saying, "We are on the same side".

Pandu walked over and introduced himself ... while shaking hands, "I am Pandu and this is Sebastian" We both intended to convey a message from Prof.Rhinno. But before that ... As a result of the first impact, both of their arms had visible bruises and looked injured.

"Please stretch out your hands!"

Then Pandu put both palms together on top of their arms, a green light like jade shone on the bruise and the light gradually dimmed. Miraculously, the two scars looked as if they had been healed before.

"Already ...!"

Sebastian and Rangga were now in awe of what they had just felt. Then Pandu handed over a necklace with a hanger in the form of tiger nails.

"My name is Rangga, and I indeed am one of Prof.Rhinno's students." Said the man who turned out to be of hereditary blood, seen from the look on his face of Euro Asian descent. Introducing himself, and it looks like the team formed by Prof. Rhinno will soon be realized, he said further. Sebastian just realized that if Pandu was alone, then what about the target he was chasing earlier?

"Pandu wasn't that just about to chase the floating brown lightly," Sebastian asked.

"Looks like it's not the target we mean Bas. Just now it was just a shadow of Camouflage alone," he replied, saying he had aimed at him with a bow and disappeared.

But then Rangga explained that the light was indeed a camouflage from "Thalia" who was always with him because they were cousins.

"Rangga also means knowing where Thalia is now, where?" Asked Sebastian.

It's good we went to the apartment where I live, located not far from here, about Thalia ...., I'll tell you later. They finally rushed to the place intended for Rangga.

Arriving at the apartment, Sebastian began to ask questions related to Thalia, according to Rangga's story, if they were related by blood.

“As I said earlier, Thalia is indeed my cousin. My father and mother are twin brothers even though they are not identical.

My mother and father now live in Germany, while I chose to live here.

"Then, where is Thalia?" asked Sebastian.

“I also don't know its existence. Its nature, which is sometimes arbitrary, is quite troublesome. But he has one advantage, that is, it can leave energy against the people she protects, huh ..., like that. Even though it was gone, Thania already knew what had happened, ”said Rangga later.

**

Sebastian praised the interior design concept of the apartment unit owned by Rangga, a very thick gamers-style concept.

"The unique design concept. I like the arrangement of the Virtual Reality ornaments. What is your design or message?" Asked Sebastian in awe.

"Oh, this is a gift from the sponsor after winning the Virtual Reality Martial Art contest, they designed and endorse it," Rangga replied. One can see special glasses and a large monitor screen against the wall. Maybe this is what is meant by virtual reality games, played online over a network, "that's how Sebastian understands it."

"Want to try?" Rangga offered.

"Maybe next time he, he, he," said Sebastian shyly.
