Siga ng Universe 2: The Cosmic Reaper

Chapter 15. Fired Up

"HAAAAH!"

Tumakbo lang ako ng tumakbo. Hindi ko na iniintindi kung ano man ang humahabol o nakaharang sa dinaraanan ko.

Wala na akong pakialam sa lupon ng mga nagwawalang gagamba, o sa kuyog ng mga kumukutikutitap na alitaptap. Hindi ko na alintana ang mga lubak, talahib, bangkay o ano mang balakid sa daanan. Ipinadyak ko na lang ang aking mga paa at nagpatuloy sa pagharurot.
Ang tanging nararamdaman ko na lang kasi ay kaligayahan.

I'm all fired up!

Ngayon ko lang ulit naramdaman ito ever since ihirang akong Ultimate Siga Lord. I feel like I achieved something monumental. I feel so badass. As if I went through a big boss battle.

Well technically... I DID.

I survived Aranea's deceptive wrath. I escaped her malicious intent and wicked mind tricks. I snapped out of her spell and gave her a piece of Siganess and shoved it down her throat!

Literally.

Pinataob ko ang isang Mythos gamit ang pinakasagradong technique na alam ko, ang Pektus sa Ngala Ngala. Hindi ko inaasahan na tatablan sya nito.

That was an act of desperation. But necessary, nonetheless.

Ayoko sana syang patulan but she won't cooperate. She's just stalling. Ang gusto nya lang ay tumambay ako doon at gawin nyang ka-forever. Or probably dinner for her spiderlings kapag nagsawa na sya sa aking company.

Haaayyyyy. Women.

But in a way, she triggered my emotions by posing as an illusion of my ex girlfriend, Scarlet. Namiss ko tuloy sya. I miss everything about her-

From her sublime facial features that can turn jerks into Casanovas and nice guys go bonkers, to her Hello Kitty tattoo. I miss her sultry porcelain complexion that perfectly accentuates her fiery dyed red hair. Those luscious, kissable red lips that will make you shiver and her dark chocolate eyes that pierces through one's soul.

And don't get me started on her sarcastic yet intoxicating personality. She laughs weird. She talks as if she's the boss and she certainly walks the walk.

She really lives up to her name. She's a charismatic crimson enigma, cooler than the velvet sky, hotter than the burning sun and sweeter than cherry pie.

Kumusta na kaya sya? I hope she's doing fine. I wish there's a way for me to see her again or talk to her at least.

Gusto ko kung tutuusin. But I can't. I can't let myself be emotionally attached again. I can't let my feelings get in the way again. Ayokong magkaroon ng distractions ngayon. My responsibilities and duties are far more important that my love life. The whole Universe's fate uncomfortably rests in my shoulders. And I'm gonna feel it's cumbersome weight sooner or later. Kaya't walang time at karapatang maglandi.

At isa pa, I don't even know where she is. At kung alam ko man kung nasaan sya, I don't want to involve her in any of this. I already learned my lessons the hard way.

Ang dapat ko lang gawin ay ang tuparin ang aking misyon; ang buuin ang Sandata ng Pag-Iral bago pa ito makuha ng Cosmic Reaper.

At sa kalagitnaan ng aking internalization ay-

*CLAP! CLAP! CLAP!*

Sumulpot ang isang pamilyar na nilalang na walang saplot pang itaas, lumulutang salamat sa dambuhala nyang mga pakpak.

"I can't believe it! You actually pulled it off! Hahah!" Nakakalokong pambungad sa akin ni Lagim, na halos mapunit ang mga labi at lumuwa ang mata sa pagngiti.
