Destinies: The Origin

Chapter 5: Empat Sekawan

Adzima POV

As the morning light filled the room, I woke up feeling much better than before. After getting ready, I went to look for Falco, who was busy working on some cars. I was mesmerized by his garage—filled with sports cars and rare vehicles. 
Adzima:"Is all of this yours?" 
He didn’t answer my question and instead asked one back. 
Falco:"How did you sleep?" 
Adzima:"I slept well. How about you?" 
Falco:"I didn’t sleep" 
Adzima:"What? You told me to rest, but you didn’t sleep yourself?"

Falco:"You needed it. You feel better after sleeping, don’t you?" 
Adzima:"Yes, but what about you?" 
Falco:"I can’t, at least not for now" 
Even though we didn’t know each other for long, I felt worried for him. 
Falco:"Sorry, but can you wake the others?" 
Adzima:"No problem" 
I went back upstairs to wake the others, starting with Qori since she was the easiest to wake. 
Adzima:"Qori, wake up" 
I shook her gently, and she woke up immediately. 
Qori:"Hm... Good morning, Adzima" 
Adzima:"Good morning"

I then tried to wake Aditya and Fian, but Qori stopped me. 
Qori:"Let me handle it" 
I nodded and returned to the garage, leaving Qori to wake the others. As I was going down the stairs, I suddenly heard Aditya and Fian shouting. Falco looked at me, confused. 
Falco:"What is going on up there?" 
I just shrugged in response. Not long after, Qori, Fian, and Aditya joined us in the garage. I glanced at Qori and asked. 
Adzima:"Qori, what did you do?" 
She just smiled mischievously and said nothing. Falco then started to tell us about the people we would be recruiting next.

Falco:"Since we will be recruiting a lot of people this time, we will need more than one car. So, you can choose and use any car you like" 
Aditya and Fian looked very excited by the news. 
Aditya & Fian:"Really? Any car?" 
Falco nodded. 
Fian:"Then I’ll take the silver Audi" 
Aditya:"I’ll choose the blue BMW" 
Falco tossed them the car keys they picked, then turned to Qori and me. 
Qori:"I’ll go with Aditya" 
Falco:"What about you, Princess?" 
As Falco spoke to me, I saw Fian whispering something to Aditya, but I ignored it, assuming it wasn’t important.

Adzima:"You don’t mind if I am with you, right?" 
Falco:"Not at all, let’s go" 
We all got into our respective cars. Falco and I entered the red Koenigsegg he always used. After Falco connected the car system with the other two vehicles, we took off, speeding down the glass road as usual. As we drove, I noticed from the hologram on the windshield that we had arrived at a city called Quatro.

We soon stopped in front of a tall building with a sign that read "Sekawan Tower." 
Fian:"Sekawan Tower? That’s quite an interesting name" 
As we entered the building, we were suddenly blocked by an invisible wall. I saw Falco as if he were calling someone and asking them to speak. 
Falco:"Hello, we are not enemies, nor are we possessed, so could you kindly let us in?" 
I looked in the direction Falco was speaking but didn’t see anyone there. 
Adzima:"Who are you talking to?" 
Falco didn’t immediately answer, remaining focused on the unseen presence.

The invisible wall in front of us then vanished, revealing Ina, one of my best friends from high school. Qori and I rushed over to her, hugging her tightly. 
Adzima & Qori:"Ina!" 
Ina:"Adzima, Qori, I missed you too girls" 
Ina warmly returned our hug, then greeted Fian and Aditya. 
Ina:"Hello to both of you as well" 
Aditya and Fian nodded in response to Ina’s greeting. After we released the hug, I asked the question that brought me here. 
Adzima:"We are forming a team of people with extraordinary abilities to save the world. Would you like to join us?" 
Ina:"Of course, I want to, and I’m sure the others would want to join too"

Adzima:"Who?" 
Ina:"Come upstairs with me, and you’ll meet them" 
Ina then turned her attention to Falco, curiosity appearing on her face. 
Ina:"But before that, who are you, and how can you see me while I’m using my powers?" 
Adzima:"His name is Falco, and it’s okay, Ina. I assure you we can trust him. He has saved my life twice in Italy" 
Hearing that, Ina took Falco’s hand and expressed her gratitude. 
Ina:"Really? I’m so grateful to you for saving my friend. Thank you" 
Falco:"No need to thank me"
