Fiction Series 4:Survive

Episod 58: Hidden Scenario

"What...?"

Suara aku menggeletar bila mendengar soalan Shuu tu. Red? Nonsense. I have my eyes' color under control ever since my body reached the age of 18 again before.

Sebelah tangan memegang mata aku. Mungkin ke.....

"Since when?"

"What?"

"Since when my eyes become like this?"

"Since kau pegang Black Crystal tu."

Oh. Wait. I forgot. I'm also apart of an experiment. Tawa kecil terus terlepas dari bibir aku.

"Why. Are you laughing?"

"Okay. First. Calm down. Put down the sword. My eyes become like this... bukannya sebab aku nak attack kau ke apa, but it's because of this Black Crystal. You heard what that guy, Chris, said before. About Mazoku Project."

Shuu masih tak menurunkan pedangnya. Mata pedangnya tu pun masih belum berganjak dari leher aku.

"And that's the more reason I can't put my guard down, Mirai. Listen. Kau. Living by eating the turning-human. And suddenly, we've got news yang kau ni apart of the 8th sin's demon project. Do you know how f*ck up is that?"

Aku terdiam. Can't blame him though. Dengan segala kekacauan yang dah dilaluinya ni, mestilah dia tak percaya sesiapa sangat pun. But weird.....why this country is moving normally? And takde sebarang apocalypse or casuality at that. Ryan pun pernah cakap sebelum ni yang negara ni is in year 2026. Jauh....sangat dari timeline di dunia di mana aku dah putar balik masa sekarang ni.

Hah....Mirai. Stop thinking about your previous timeline. Timeline yang sebenar sekarang is timeline di mana kau sedang menghadapi Scenario ni. Get yourself together! Face the reality! That timeline where you accindentally almost kill Riku Takuya is now never exist anymore. So, just think on how you're gonna face the next Scenario now.

"Mirai."

Right. I'm in the middle of a 'fight' right now.

"I'm not a harm. Believe me for once. I-"

'Get back to the Scenario Area or face the Penalty.'

Sebuah skrin transparent berwarna biru mula muncul di hadapan kami berdua.

F*ck. I forgot about this Scenario Area thing.

"Shuu. This Scenario Area thing, if you never get back to the Area, kau memang akan mati betul-betul kali ni. Apa kata kita sambung gaduh bila dah sampai ke Jepun semula. Hmm?"

Lama Shuu mendiamkan dirinya sebelum dia menurunkan pedangnya lalu dimasukkan ke dalam sarungnya semula.

"Don't do anything stupid."

Yeah, yeah. I'm not a kid.

* * *
"MIRAI!!"

aku tersenyum kecil ke arahnya. My body start to crumble apart into tiny little pieces of patel flower sebelum dibawa pergi oleh angin lalu.

'You Have Died.'

I'm sorry.

I am really a reckless child.

Bila mata dibuka, yang aku nampak hanyalah keadaan sekeliling yang gelap. Dan hanya badan aku sahaja yang aku boleh nampak. Seolah-olah aku berada di dalam never ending dark void.

And there it is. The song. I'm hearing the song again. More like voices actually. Voices yang aku pernah teringat dulu masa nak mainkan piano dekat Subway Scenario sebelum ni. Like voices of people's despair.

Really disturbing actually.

But where it come from pon....aku tak tahulah.

Okay. Anyway. How come semua perkara bertukar 360° dengan cepat sangat ni?

* * *
A few minutes before the incident;

"Now? Aku baru je nak explore country ni."

"Now."

Suara tegas Shuu berjaya membuatkan lelaki di depan kami ni terdiam lalu dia mengeluh perlahan sambio membuka portal di tengah-tengah padang tak berpenghuni ni.

FYI, sejurus sahaja notification tu muncul di hadapan kami semua, Shuu terus menghilangkan dirinya untuk mengambil lelaki yang bertanggungjawab membawa kami ke negara ni di sebuah cafe lalu muncul semula tak sampai 2 minit.

Wow. I'm impress with his physical energy.

Bila portal tu terbuka, tuan punya portal mendahului kami berdua dahulu sebelum aku juga turut melangkah masuk diikuti Shuu di belakang aku.

But what I did not expect is that....Japan country was now having the Main Scenario. People were running everywhere. Runtuhan bangunan juga semakin banyak. F*ck. Why the hell it started early?

And dekat bus stop ni pon aku lansung tak nampak kelibat Yano dan yang lain.

"Shuu. Find the others."

"Don't give me order."

Order. Yeah...let's just use that power for now.

"Find. The others."

Bila badan Shuu mula bergerak without his own will, lelaki tu terus membuat reaksi muka seolah-olah ingin membunuh aku.

"Sorry. Just for now. Kalau kau dah jumpa Yano, Yuuki, semua, the power will wear off."

"Then kau nak pergi mana ni?!!"

Aku hanya tersenyum ke arahnya sambil melambaikan tangan bila tubuh badan Shuu mula bergerak pergi.

Pandangan dialihkan kepada tuan punya badan portal ni.

"And you. I need to ask you to find-"

Aku tak sempat menghabiskan kata-kata bila ada notification muncul lagi.

'You have got back to the Scenario Area.
Main Scenario: Solve the trauma in the castle while avoiding the Savages.
Difficulty: Rank A
Time: 24 Hours'

What? Savages? There are Savages?!!

Dan dengan sekali lagi. There another notification pop in front of me.

'Hidden Scenario: Find a guy with a few white lines in his hair
Difficulty: Rank F
Timer: 30 minutes'

Really? A Hidden Scenario? In the middle of Main Scenario? And 30 minutes at that?!!!
