Monster Apocalypse

Chapter 25 : Story of the Past part 2

 Kevin asked Dr. Rengga regarding the continuation of the past story that has been experienced by Dr. Rengga and his friends (Including Kevin’s father). Kevin is curious about what happened next when the government project of monsters and dimensional rifts was taken over by the NeoGen Corporation in the early 2000s.

 "And after that, what happened to the three of you?" Asked Kevin.

 “In the past, the three of us were still so naive and filled with a thirst for research, so our work was transferred to the NeoGen company, then we continued our research for the NeoGen company ... Me, Alan, and Rudolf were assigned to create various tools that could be used. to hunt monsters. For example, such as pistols, detectors, net shooters, bombs, drugs, and so on ... In fact, we are also developing a holding device to keep the dimensional portal open, so NeoGen can lock the existence of dimensional portal for longer time. Because the device we created before was not that strong, so we have to keep modifying it to make it more sophisticated ... Then as time goes by, the NeoGen company grows bigger and wider, as we all know it today. "

 "Hmm. Then by the way, what about the Gargoyles? ”

 "Oh yeah, Gargoyles are a type of intelligent creature, apart from having greater physical strength than ordinary humans, Gargoyles also have the ability to change form and blend into human life, so their existence is very difficult to detect ... They have been in our world for decades, even when our expedition has not began, so after the dimensional rift phenomenon occur has been further investigated, their existence has also begun to be revealed ... Then because the government considers their existence as a threat to mankind, the government gives special authority to the NeoGen company to hunt down the Gargoyles, who mostly have inhabited urban areas, and the NeoGens are free to do anything to the Gargoyles. So that until now, the hunt for the Gargoyle monsters is still ongoing. "

 "O- oh, so that's how it is."

 "And now I will tell you, the truth about the power inside Kevin's body."

 "Tell me, Doctor." Said Kevin.

 "To be more precise. In 2005, a trials befell us. Initially bad things befell one of my friends, namely Alan Icardi. When all of a sudden his son named Kevin caught a deadly disease, namely meningitis. "

 "Jeez."

 “It made Alan nervous and scared, especially when he saw his wife cry every day. He loved his wife and his children so much that he was willing to do anything to protect them ... Therefore, Alan conducted an experiment without anyone else knowing, except me and Rudolf. He created a serum extracted from the energy of the Gargoyle monster horn, as well as from several other types of monster cells. So that he could make a healing medicine and save his son's life ... After he put the serum into Kevin's body, Kevin immediately recovered from his illness, and it turned out that even more great, now the serum has been united with Kevin's body, so after that event his body could have the strength above normal humans. "

 "I- Wow ... It was my father who did that?" Kevin said with a dumbfounded feeling.

 “Yes, he did that for the sake of saving your life… But there is a consequence behind it. Because it turned out that Rudolf was fascinated by Alan's discovery, so he became very obsessed with being able to create a cure for all kinds of diseases. But because Alan didn't want to help him for some reason, Rudolf thought that Alan was a selfish person, and eventually their relationship became tenuous. "

 "Then what happen?"

 “Rudolf started doing the experiment in secret, but he was too hasty and overdoing. In fact he involved innocent humans in his experiments, and those humans were homeless that he took off the streets. The method used by Rudolf was really inhuman, so when Alan and I found out about it, we tried to stop and convince him, but he didn't want listen to us, but then as the result of his illegal activity even the police wanted to find And catch him, so that Rudolf's experimental site is finally closed and the victims can be secured. But Rudolf instead escaped and his whereabouts are still a mystery until now ... I think he's still trying to do dangerous experiments elsewhere. "

 "Owh, is that so ... Then what happened to my father so that he could disappear and be considered dead?" Asked Kevin.

 “After that incident, we continued activities in the NeoGen lab as normal, and business was still going on. 

 But apparently there is something dangerous that escapes our vision, namely that it turns out that the use of a dimensional portal holding device has a very high risk of balancing between dimensions. Some of the portals that we lock and keep, over time start to become unstable and can pose a very big danger, because as a result of the portals being open for too long, two-dimensional collisions will occur and a lot of portal could pop up on a larger scale ... Maybe thats what tou call as a monster apocalypse disaster, namely the day when two dimensions collide with each other forcibly, so that it creates a huge c***k, then a huge number of dimensional rifts will appear in various places, and the monsters will come out to rampage and spread chaos in this earth. "

 "That's right Doctor ... Then what did you and my father do to prevent that disaster from happening?" Asked Kevin.

 "We both immediately informed the CEO of the NeoGen Company about this, his name was Ivan, but he never took us seriously, and he always seemed indifferent to our opinion, so next we reported this matter to the committee and the government ... Then after our struggle which was quite long, we finally managed to convince the government about the risk of the dimensional portal holding device, so the Government immediately took action by ordering the NeoGen Company to remove every device that holds its dimensional portal, the Government decided it would be safer if we let the entire portal appear and disappear naturally."

 "Waahh."

 "Alan and I were assigned to lead the removal activities. We are working hard to remove and eliminate the portals one by one which are an important asset for the NeoGen Company. Alan and I split up and went to various places. At first we carried out the task smoothly, but an accident occurred in an area where Alan was assigned ... According to information, the dimensional portal that Alan and his team were handling, suddenly reacted unstably and then sucked all the objects around it. .. And what happened next is, your father was sucked into the dimensional portal, so he was declared missing and dead. "

 "Wh- what ?? !!"

 "Yes, that's What really happening ... I'm so sorry Kevin." Said Doctor Rengga, looking down.

 Then all of them who were in the room were silent for a moment, they pondered to lament the gone of Kevin's father, which had happened 15 years ago. Especially Kevin, he felt devastated and shocked by the reality that had happened to his father.

 Dr. Rengga start saying again, "But after that, I kept trying to find the cause behind the accident that had befallen Alan. Because it seems like someone has sabotaged that dimensional portal, so it becomes unstable and then Alan gets sucked into it. " Said Dr. Rengga.

 "Who would have done something like that?" Asked Kevin curiously.

 "My suspicions are on Ivan and Rudolf who carried out a conspiracy in secret ... According to the investigation that I have been doing so far, I got some clues about the relationship between Ivan and Rudolf who was several times seen making contact."

 "What?" 

 “But until now, I still haven't been able to get definite proof about that. Because Ivan always keeps me busy with heavy work in the NeoGen lab. "

 "I understand Doctor ... And I think from now on we can investigate about it more seriously."

 "Yes, of course." Answer Dr. Rengga.

 Then Kevin spoke, "All these years my mother and I thought that my father just disappeared and there was no way he could die ... But after finding out that my father had been sucked into the portal, now I feel even more anxious." Said Kevin.

 "Oh yes, I once came to your house to tell you about the incident that happened to your father ... There I met and chatted with your mother, then I gave a letter to your mother, a letter that was mandated to me, from your father before he disappeared ... But after I gave the letter to your mother, She immediately kicked me out and forbade me to come to her house again. "

 "Is it true?"

 "Yes, Hmm ... I can understand her feelings, shejust feels so lost, so he hates me and all things related to NeoGen."

 "So that's why Doctor Rengga has never looking for me. And after the incident, Doctor Rengga continues life as a scientist at the NeoGen company until now. "

 "Y- yes, that's right." Said Dr. Rengga while looking down.

 "... Then regarding a letter, what do you think written in it?" Asked Kevin.

 "I don't know, I haven't opened it, I guess only your mother has know and read it."

 "Hmm, then I'll ask my mother myself ... Now I'm going to go home." Kevin said as he got up from his chair.

 “You will going? A- are you in good condition now?” Said Dr. Rengga.

 "Yes Kevin, you must recover your body condition first." Oliver added.

 "Hmm, yes. If you go to ask your mother about that letter, you may find something surprising. " Said Christa while turning to Kevin.

 "You want me to accompany you?" Asked Oliver.

 "No, thank you." Kevin replied.

 Then Dr. Rengga spoke again, "All right then, be careful on your way home ... While you're away, me and Oliver here will start working on the iron armor."

 "Yes, I'll go now." Said Kevin who said goodbye as he walked out of that place.
