Codename: Alpha Zero

Chapter 50

MINA

I walked alongside Randy and Mike. Al is walking behind us. We are going deeper in the forest but we still can't find anything unusual. Nasaan ba ang base ng Ceidrick Reid na 'yon?

I wonder if Oscar Reid and Ceidrick Reid are related to each other. Narinig ko na may alam si Oscar tungkol sa Alpha Fleet, at may mga miyembro ng Omega na nakakausap niya.

"Do you have any directions to where we are going?" I asked. Napapagod na ako sa paglalakad. Mukhang wala namang patutunguhan 'to.

"It's just up ahead."

I ignored Al and continued to walk. Ilang minuto pa at kasama na namin ang iba sa Decade. They probably finished off the Carson clan.

"Is it okay for us to walk like this?" tanong ni Diez. Napatingin kami sa kaniya. "I mean, magkakasama tayong lahat. Wala man lang formation. Wala ding strategies."

"We don't need it. Si Ceidrick Reid lang ang nando'n. Hindi siya basta-basta kaya kailangan nating magtulungan para labanan siya," Ocho explained. "Bone is a one-man army."

"I agree with that," Tres added.

We continued walking. Hinanda ko na ang dalawang dagger at dalawang pistol ko. This will be a tough fight.

Ilang minuto pa ay natanaw na namin ang isang parang camp house malapit sa isang ilog. It looks normal when I look at it but I'm sure there's something to it than it's calm and peaceful appearance.

"I don't know the Decade will personally pay me a visit," someone behind us said.

Napalingon ako dito. There he is, standing tall.

The person whom they call Bone.

ALPHERO

I looked at Ceidrick. He's smirking while looking at us. Susugod na sana ako pero bigla siyang sumugod sa mga kasama ko.

Mabilis niyang sinipa si Ocho dahilan para tumalsik ito. That was a hard kick. Sunod niyang sinipa si Seis pero nasalag siya nito gamit ang dagger niya. He quickly grabbed Siyete and threw her to a tree.

Sumugod si Tres at akmang susuntukin niya si Ceidrick nang yumuko ito at sinipa siya sa tagiliran. He punched Dos but he barely dodged his attack. Diez jumped and was about to shoot him mid-air when Ceidrick quickly jumped and grabbed her left foot then threw her on the ground.

Kinuha ko ang isa kong dagger at binato kay Ceidrick. I ran to the opposite direction of the dagger and dashed to him. But before I can launch an attack, he already caught the dagger and my face as well. Sa laki ng kamay niya ay nasakop nito ang mukha ko. Humigpit ang kapit niya sa maskara ko hanggang sa madurog ito.

Before I hit the ground, I felt his hard kick on my stomach and I stumbled on the ground.

"If this kids defeated the Pentagon, then those five are too weak to be a challenge to me."

Ceidrick is not the man we used to fight. Hindi siya ang Bone na nakilala namin sa underground fights. Parang may kakaiba. He's like another person now.

Kahit nahihirapan ay nakita kong pinilit ni Ocho na tumayo. His mask is now broken that it now only covers his right eye. "Mukhang naperpekto niyo na ang drugs na ginagawa niyo."

Hindi ko alam ang sinasabi ni Ocho pero nakinig pa rin ako. Ceidrick laughed.

"Alam mo pala 'yon?" he asked in amusement. "That's the secret drug that is famous in the black markets worldwide. Only those who have enough power can have a piece of it."
