FROST AND FLAME (1)

"Ahhh...."
The middle-aged man almost lost his balance, but the next one after him was able to support him.
Everyone was too shocked to move.
All their eyes flowed with the person who willingly fell down to the ground full of beast.
They did not find that figure being ravaged by a beast.
Instead, down there what they found out was a young man with chocolate chest-nut hair laughing out loud.
The young man's voice resounds through the air like someone who has lost their sanity.
The people don't know how they should evaluate the image down below.
Before they could speak, someone shouted to go forward.
While the laughter keeps on going down there overpowering that beast growls.
When almost the people on the ladder finally climbed inside the aircraft, they were either passing time or thinking that someone was down below.
They give another look again.
There is not much to see except the scene of a young man's figure going crazy against a number of beasts attacking him.
This is an obvious image of suicide for everyone that couldn't think any other thoughts that would describe the reason for the figure to be standing down there.
"Damn...isn't that our Nine!" BG Lace lifting up 2LT Royle toward the solder from the other team commented.
"Who the hell are you calling your Nine!?"
Someone from the aircraft pilot seat yelled back and glared through the mirror.
"What? It isn't your crazy guy down there!"
BG Lace retorted as he finally got inside the aircraft.
Nodding to the Captain who met his eyes, Gu Jin did the same with a simple nod back.
"He is really crazy," BG Lace added, before turning to help BG Kinley to go up and the Dr. Royal after the another.
"Crazy as hell." The person on the pilot seat agreed, making BG Lace stunned.
He did not expect the other would just agree to him so easily.
Isn't this their 18091216 (Nine) the person who likes to laugh so hard and a very dangerous one, at least that's what he heard before.
"Don't stay there," Gu Jin reminded,his face was black, and his lips tightened.
BG Lace wanted to ask what's wrong with him, and BG Kinley didn't give him the chance, yanking him toward vacant seats.
Sarpencia just climbed up with a dark expression too.
Seeing both the captains are not in a mood to talk with nonsense, everyone is wise to shut their lips into silence.
Taking back the ladder by one of Gu Jin's subordinates, Yallen Len can't help asking.
"Wait...he is still down there."
Everyone merely gave him a look as if they were staring at an i***t.
"What?"
"Hahahahaha...I thought you already knew it because you came with our Six, and yet you like this."
BG Lace has commented but was smacked down on his head by the person beside him, BG Kinley is already tired from listening to the other talk and talk.
Why can't he just shut up for a while.
That's one reason he did not like someone who came from a wealthy family.
"You don't have to worry. He is not your typical human." BG Kinley explained.
"But he will bleed, right?" Yallen Len just asks that baffled people's thinking.
"Yes?"
"What do you mean, Mr.?"
BG Lace asks, and his eyes are scrutinizing.
"Then he can die, if he bleeds, he can die." Yallen Len sneered.
He doesn't understand why these people are willing to leave that figure who just especially came for them.
Before, while walking on the ground, 18061819 (Six) stopped so suddenly.
Then before they knew it, there was darkness enveloping all of them.
Within seconds they have already at this side.
Even if the figure doesn't speak the reason, just that moment when Yallen Len saw what the situation below was, he understood it.
Yet...these people were ready to live that figure.
He cannot help the rising resentment toward the group around him.
"He would not die so easily, take a look." Sarpencia said, crossing his arms.
Since the aircraft door was opened, they could see what was happening down there at a glance, and then set of eyes have taken the look except the member on the pilot seat who can only cry without tears.
In answer to the uttered words, people really try to look down.
Down there a pair of human figures are dancing along their rhythm.
They're moving side by side, against a larger beast, without a second thought, either there are beasts sneaking up behind both of them, or they can easily eliminate it.
One is holding a scythe resembling the symbol of death, and then the other has kept circling the surrounding with chains slashing the flesh with no mercy.
One can laugh out so loud, one can only look cold and empty.
Both are very different in their own movements, but they surely knew each other's song that they could cope up with their backs together.
18061819 (Six) will s***h the beast to death at 18091216 (Nine)'s back and 18091216 (Nine) will strangle to death the beast in front of 18061819 (Six).
Even if there were no words to signal one another actions, they were both all dancing together to their own blades and songs.
It is a sight to see once in a lifetime for the group in the aircraft.
Only the two down there knew this was the second time they fought alongside each other.
18091216 (Nine) laughter rang cheerily, and his red eyes held a glint of genuine joy.
"You never changed."
18061819 (Six) gave the other a look as he slashed another beast's head.
"You are really the same.."
"You.." 18061819 (Six) has caught the smile of the other enthusiasm.
A sudden flash of memory danced inside his mind, it is sinking deeply to the depths of his mind, remember certain seconds along with this person.
Tracing the lines of the forgotten past, and there is a young man wearing pink clothes as they stand on the line.
Under the light of the stadium he saw the person give him a big smile, whispering and saying a set of words that seemed to hold no meaning.
"Why are you here? Aren't you afraid that you might die if you don't survive their trials?"
"How about you?"
"Hmm.." As if thinking, the young boy turned around to look at the board before their eyes.
There are hundreds of names listed on it before pointing out that are not specifically on the screen.
Then his lips showed a stupid smile, as if the world outside the stadium was not hell.
"I want to eat a lot of food. Ice cream, cakes, and more like chicken joy! You see, they're serving it here, so I listed my name on this mission."
"Oh..."
"Then why are you here?"
He is not sure what to answer, smiling at the other back, his reluctant words just slipped out.
"I guess, to remind me of hope."
"Hope?"
"Yeah."
"There's no hope for this world anymore, you know?" Joking laughter rang next to his ears that moment, and the other just waved his hand as if he said something unimportant before asking, "What's your name anyway?"
"Me? I'm---"
"I just said you didn't change, it doesn't mean for you to get crawled by these beasts."
18052319 (Nine) laughed again, easily killing the beast that was supposed to attack 18061819 (Six) just now.
Even if they were just fragments of the past in the back of his mind, 18061819 (Six) think he was closed to know why this guy who always finds himself with laughter's love is laughing so much.
"I will drag them as I crawl."18061819 (Six) did notice that there is a small enthusiasm hidden deeper in his voice, and he already raised his blade screaming for blood.
18091216 (Nine), closing his eyes, his heart suddenly feels like in water.
However, as soon as he opened her eyes, joyous laughter came out from him, and he said excitedly. "I will help you."
"What do you think? Have you found these performances sightly and worthy of the show?" BG Lace jokingly asked the new people on board.
"It is scary..." Someone whispered, the more younger one in the seniors with Yallen Len.
"Hehehe...yeah. We almost died anyway."
"Can you shut up for a second. Are you happy that someone died on us." BG Kinley was irritated.
On the other hand, Dr. Roya are treating the torn limbs of 2LT Royle along with Gu Jin's Team doctor.
They gave the man a pill that would keep him awake for some time, but it wouldn't last long.
2LT Royle must stay awake until they finally come down to the building in which with complete materials.
That is none other than the central facility of Station 21, and that is their destination next.
It took a while before the two figures below stopped as they killed the last beast in which their queen was.
When the two stand over rotten flesh and corpses, the aircraft moves down to the ground, but it didn't completely go down, just a little height to keep a safe distance.
"We are not going now!" Gu Jin shouted.
18091216 (Nine) waved the hands to the waiting group abruptly at this moment, and Gu Jin's bad expression hardened a bit more as he glared at the person he didn't know whether to hate or dislike.
"Let's go..." 18061819 (Six) uttered, walking toward the aircraft.
"Why? Staying inside that thing is not fun." 18091216 (Nine) eyes turned cold, holding back the resentment toward Gu Jin and the chains behind vanished into the air leaving wisps of smoke, those who saw it for the first time were stunned, quiet as a chicken.
"Wow..mare we leaving in a fantasy world?" BG Lace commented.
"Maybe." BG Kinley can't help but be amazed too.
He had carefully seen the chains circling into the air earlier, going around the target, and they looked very hard, as metal.
"They are not human, aren't they?" The middle-aged man was a senior softly-spoken and was heard by everyone, even those subjects that it was pointed to.
The other members under Gu Jin's team hardened their fists into clench, some even bit their lower lips and sneered from within.
Only those from Sarpencia's team glowered back at the person who spoke 'taboo', and it was BG Lace who's mouth that cannot stop at all reacted violently.
"What did you say bastard!"
