Midnight Angels

Chapter 32

'Trinity'

ZIA

It's really him.

He's flying here and there, breathing fire on the Kraken which caused it to back off from the ship. Another blow and Kuya Ash sent the water in fire even though it had no oil and anything on it. I immediately heard the Kraken screeching in pain as it submerged back to the waters.

And just like that, the water went calm.

"I think I'm gonna—" Hindi na natapos ni Audin ang sasabihin niya dahil sumuka na naman siya. Lumapit nalang si Atlas sa kanya at hinagod ang likod niya.

"Ang harot mo pero ang duwag mo pala." Sumbat ni Atlas kay Audin habang hinahagod pa ang likod nito.

"At least ako maharot at duwag. Ikaw, duwag lang!" Inis na sabi ni Audin sa kanya.

The corner of Atlas' lips twitched because of what Audin said. "Gusto mo ihulog kita diyan?" Tanong ni Atlas sa kanya at hindi na sumagot si Audin dahil nasuka na naman siya. Tumingin agad ako kay Kuya Ash na kakalanding lang sa ship na kinaroroonan namin.

I then saw the suit that he was wearing.

The glowing wing symbol on his arm and the smile on his lips.

"Aren't you going to welcome me, Zee?" He asked and I just smiled.

"Welcome to the team, Kuya Ash."

✥✥

We already sent the pirates to that said prison that Sir Grandpa Jez told us to bring them. Sinuli narin namin ang mga ninakaw nila sa isang kingdom dun sa west. We're currently stepping down from the ship which drove itself to a certain shore near the boundaries of UHT.

Tiningnan ko naman si Audin na nahihirapang bumaba kaya tinulungan na siya ni Wilder.

"Oh, dahan-dahan. You're pregnant with twins, right?" Natatawang tanong ni Wilder sa kanya kaya pati si Atlas na nanahimik sa likuran nila ay bahagya naring natawa. Inis lang siyang tiningnan ni Audin dahil dito.

"Oh, bakit? Totoo naman diba? Panay suka ka pa nga dun sa ship." Wilder teased Audin to the point that Audin wanted to drown Wilder because of it. Pinaliwanag ko nalang kay Kuya Ash ang mga nangyari at pinaliwanag niya rin sa akin kung anong nangyari sa kanya.

He said that he was resting after playing soccer on the field when his wing symbol suddenly showed up kaya pumunta siya kaagad kay Sir Grandpa Jez at pinasunod naman siya agad ni Sir Grandpa Jez sa amin.

Naglakad kaming lahat papunta sa UHT habang kinakarga na ni Atlas si Audin na hilong-hilo na. "Pre, baka ikaw paglihian niyan." Pabibiro ni Wilder kaya sinipa kaagad ni Audin ang mukha niya at nagpakarga na naman kay Atlas.

Lumapit nalang si Wilder sa amin at inakbayan si Kuya Ash.

"Oh, Ash naman. Kilalanin mo rin 'yung ibang myembro hindi 'yung si Zia lang 'yung kinakausap mo. Unfair ka, pre!" Reklamo ni Wilder kaya inakbayan kaagad siya ni Kuya Ash. Dumaan naman si Blu sa harap ko at kakausapin ko sana siya pero ngumiti lang siya sa akin at nilagpasan lang ako. Okay?

Sumunod naman ako sa kanila at tsaka na kami bumalik sa headquarters namin at nagbigay ng mission report kay Sir Grandpa Jez.

"Well done, Team Alp—I mean, replacement team. Seriously, name your team please." He said and filed out some reports and immediately dismissed us from our lessons at sinabing pwede na kaming bumalik sa dorm namin.
