Codename: Alpha Zero

Chapter 36

MINA

Namimilipit si Zedon sa sakit. Hindi niya alam kung anong parte ng katawan ang hahawakan niya.

Ikaw ba naman ang tumalon mula third floor ng isang building tapos ang sumalubong sayo ay isang flying kick, hindi ka ba naman magka-ganiyan?

Maybe he panicked after seeing five of the Decade going for him. Kahit ako ay matatakot din kung sakaling sa akin mangyari iyon. This just proves that Zedon is only brave if the Omega are with him. But alone? I don't think he can handle himself.

"I cut the connection so he don't have any means to contact the Omega. We got him," Ate Mincy reported. She is smiling from ear to ear. There are only three remaining Pentagon and this is their time to decrease them to two.

Unti-unting lumapit si Laire sa namimilipit na Zedon. She kicked him on the chest, making the pain more unbearable. I can see him struggling to get up but the Decade isn't giving him a chance.Humawak si Zedon sa pader para makatayo. Biglang tumakbo si Randy papunta sa kaniya. He jumped and did a dropkick to Zedon's leg. Muling bumagsak si Zedon.

Tuloy-tuloy na binugbog ni Laire at Randy si Zedon. May naramdaman akong slight na awa para sa kaniya. They have done the worst thing. Now they are reaping what they sow. If only he focused in his career as a writer, hindi sana niya sasapitin ang ganitong bagay.

"T-Tama na! Tama na!" sigaw bigla ni Zedon. Randy and Laire stopped hitting him.

Dahan-dahang tumayo si Zedon. Mike, Wally, Norman, Xerah, and Lucy rushed to the scene. "T-Tanggap ko na, o-okay? This is the end for me! But let me tell you one last thing..."

The Decade looked at each other. Kahit si Ate Mincy ay nag-focus din at nakinig ng maigi sa kung ano ang sasabihin ni Zedon.

"W-Wala kaming kinalaman sa pagkalason n-niyo!" he blurted out.

"What do you mean?" mariing tanong ni Mike.

"T-The Pentagon that y-you are chasing..." hindi na makapagsalita ng maayos si Zedon. "...a-are just a repla-"

Hindi natapos ni Zedon ang sasabihin niya nang may balang tumama sa kaniyang ulo. His dead body fell on the ground. The Decade looked around to find the one who shot Zedon. Nakita namin ang isang baril na pinasok sa bintana mula sa unit ng fourth floor ng condominium.

Mabilis nilang sinundan ang assassin. We saw him entering the elevator and going to the parking lot. Ate Mincy informed the Decade. Dumeretso agad sila sa parking lot na iyon. Naabutan nila itong binubuksan ang makina ng sasakyan ni Zedon. I think he is just a normal Omega.

Pinatakbo niya ang kotse at muntik pang mabangga ang Decade. Laire shot the window of the car, making its driver lose control of it. Nagpagewang-gewang ang kotse sa kalsada at halos mabangga na sa gutter ang mga kotseng umiiwas sa dinadaanan nito.

The car is going faster and faster. It is rushing to a large Narra tree at the end of the road. I can still see Laire aiming at the car. Pinaputok niya ang baril at tinamaan ang gulong ng kotse. Mas nawalan ito ng kontrol at tumaob pa. Nagpagulong-gulong ang kotse hanggang sa bumangga sa puno at sumabog. The tree fell down to the car. Nadurog lalo ang sasakyan. Good thing walang ibang nadamay dahil nakalayo na ang ibang sasakyan bago pa ito bumangga sa puno.

"Mission success," Marsh announced. "But I think we followed the wrong path."

"Agree," sabi ni Farrhein. "I also think that Zedon is saying the truth. Mukhang may third party na nangingialam sa laban natin." So I was wrong to assume that that person is an Omega?
