ALEON

Chapter 2: Old Jecho

It's been a better day today, Nena.

Nena, my wife, had dyed her hair fromwhite to black. Honey, I'm going to our crops. I'm going to harvest it. Nena nodded at him, since she was deaf. That started last year when she was at the age of 52.

When he was on the road, the crow hit his head. Jecho never intended to catch the bird who seemed to be injured so badly, not in his head crashed because something might hit him. He looked up at the sky. A flock of birds is going to another place. He said to himself ''Maybe they migrate''.

The calmness of the mountains breaks its silence when the thunder and lightning are fighting each other's echoes. It will never end, until the wind changes, it cracks the branches of trees and one kilometer ahead, the land swallowed the creatures and made a hole in it. He cannot move his leg. It reached its limit when the crack of soil was almost near to him. His skin makes dimples when air impacts his body. He flew into the air and those leaves and twigs were snapping at his face. The cut trees are racing to him. He screamed for God's help because it showed in his direction. Thanks to the other wave, he threw into another direction but when he landed he fell into a lag and its sharp point cuts his leg.

Another batch of lightning zigzagged in his direction. Jecho is a man that, when he sees blood, he begins to be brave. He steps and steps, then crawls like an animal and his intuition to survive, he never notices that his speed is increasing, and this lightning is also at inches, following him side by side. His eyes became bigger when this light appeared in his front. But with his ability, he paused and turned to the right side. Unluckily, he fell in the wrong direction when the soil caused a landslide. And he screamed again. He fell into the underground, which he estimated to be exactly six feet. His blood flows into his toes. He sharpened his eyes until he saw a herb. He got it and rubbed it till its pulp came. The pain in his leg was cured, and then he raised his head above.

Its dark inside and his ear notices the sound of an animal above. The wolf smells the remaining blood of him in the bushes and soil. The animal growls while Jecho is never panicked. He readily finds a thing that makes his weapon. Now, he sees a stone. He fast digged the soil to uncover it. Dig and dig it with his bare hands, until it became a rock. He whistled and said" Come here doggy, yoohooh''. The wolf looked at him and fiercely growled.

They looked at each other's eyes and threatened to be my prey. The wolf jumped down at the exact location of where he was standing. But Jecho confronts him also by jumping towards the diving wolf, and he hits it exactly on his jaw by using the rock. The face of the wolf was messed up when Jecho filled his anger at it and its blood spilled into his body. Jecho survived the wolf and climbed up but all of a sudden, when his head was almost out of the hole, this dust storm came to bury his entire body.

A loud noise came from in the distance where it was coming near to the damaged area. They circled first, and this one man rolled down the rope and dived from the sky. He signals them to land the aircraft and these white maskmen with their cases walk into the buried Jecho. They digged him and carried him out from the soil. The man wiped out his face because he was covered by mud, and he saw clearly the place had been wiped away. While still numb, these men carried him to their aircraft. He's trying to fight, but this other guy injected him to make him asleep, and he knocks him out.

Pilot: Mayday! Mayday! We're getting lost! Our signal has been jammed1

A smoke in the sky. Their aircraft was like a drunk in the air which is trying to reach their destination. But there is something odd when the missile strikes its tail and loosens control at high noon.

They fall into the Dark Rebel Zone. It is another fraction of the insurgence who will plan to take down the Colossal God Rothal. He is the ruler of the continent, Pareou. Every God Colossal ages a thousand years old. But humans never know their dark secret, except the avenging doctor and his alliance. Its space was surrounded by dessert and its houses are made from ancient architecture.

While heavily breathing, Jecho tries to loosen up the tie from his hands and feet, when he sees that the maskmen are one by one shot. He said to himself,''Am I dreaming, or I'm going to die in these sands?''.

Then a man that was wearing goggles, a scarf on his neck and long pants that had so many holes was walking over near to him, pointing at his chest with a long barrel gun. His asking others if he is part of them. But the other rebel said,''Take him to the doctor''.

Jecho: Who's that doctor? I'm begging you, I'm not one of them! They captured me, and I lived in the mountains!

The rebel said that he needed to shut up or there something would happen to him. So he shut his mouth eventhough he suffered from a fracture of his leg. They go to the center of the houses where they're empty and the rebel with a scarf on his neck, Boka, kicks him to sitdown. He gets to the side of the house where he pushes the green button and a wide screen appears infront of them.

Dr. Dark: Hi there old man! Oh! You don't want to say thanks for saving you from the government. They are puppets of those monsters out there. They're the ones who are responsible for what is happening to you right now. They think that you are born of Weathermen, so they captured you! But I know! We know, like our mindful Dr. White!

While speaking, Jecho sees the bodies which are aligned infront of him, put in containers.

Dr. Dark: Frankly speaking Jecho, we've seen you, of how you reacted to surviving in those mountains and were sorry to tell you that your wife Nena was dragged and died by shockwaves.

Jecho: What! It's not true! You're just writing a story!

Dr. Dark: It's all true old man! And I witnessed our drones, which had surveillance at that time! But don't be sad because we will help you to avenge your wife. All we need is for you to agree!

Then the doctor opened the very thick cemented ground way in front of him. The dark rebels left him unconscious. And he decides to go inside the man-made cave that looks like a mansion underneath. It even has luxury cars and a pool. Dr. Dark loves women, so he made a pool especially for his five wives. They are not forced and seem like they are so happy to live with him. Then the girl who wore a yellow floral two-piece pointed her finger to the door that had a signed''Dark''.

Dr. Dark: Come in, mister Jecho!

Jecho: Why does he know my name?(whispering)

When he entered, Jecho's sight took a long time to blink of those real human inside the containers.

Dr. Dark: Well oldman, let me tell you this. Will you be one of them, or will it be up to you? If you agree, then you will be one of the babies. And if you don't, then we will free you anyway. But you will die in your condition right now. You gained multiple wounds.

When he imagined the place outside, if he walked out he would be dead in the overheating or this doctor would lie to him. He's going to kill him because he knows where the insurgency lives. So he didn't hesitate and he asked the doctor about the outcome.

Dr. Dark: You will lose your memory first when feeling the pain in your bones and nerves. But you will be okey after the success of the operation. Don't worry, you will gain strength that you won't imagine with.

Then the doctor injected him with a dark liquid that made his wounds heal. While hearing those girls enoying splashing the water.

Dr. Dark: It's only for the meantime, oldman. You will be transferred to Dr. White in the Whitehouse. He's the one who will help you to avenge your dearly wife Nena.

And he lost his sight in a second. When he wokes up, he was at the Whitehouse. Like the doctor said, he lost his memory. The doctors injected him again with a luminous liquid to make him calm down. He read the nametag ''Riza'' and it was the last thing on his mind. He woke up again in a city that was devastated by the calamities where his patience had gone.
