'Midnight Angels'

ZIA

"Huh, so it's Shinshi." Sabi ni Kuya Xy habang nakapamulsa siya at nakatingin kay Shinshi na nakatingin narin sa amin at kumakaway pa. Ares then looked at us and narrowed his gaze. Tinapik nalang ni Grandpa Storm ang balikat ko.

"The team's been training non-stop. Any minute now, they'd collapse. And that will happen if you stay here." Bulong niya sa amin at dun na umilaw ang wing symbol namin ni Kuya Xy. Kuya Xy's symbol had a unique glow into it. It was red, unlike ours.

Tumingin lang ako sa kanya at tumingin rin siya sa akin.

"Time to help the team, I guess." He said and dropped his bags down. Napabuga nalang ako ng hangin at sinuot na ang gloves ni Mommy at tsaka na kami pumasok sa transparent shield.

"Baby ko!" Sigaw ni Audin at tumalon para yakapin ako. Natawa nalang ako sa kanya at tsaka siya niyakap pabalik pero hinila agad siya ni Wilder palayo sa akin at tsaka ginulo ang buhok ko. The team slowly approached us, maliban kay Lucas na nakaupo lang dun sa field at naghahabol ng hininga.

I looked at everyone. They're ripped. Their bodies improved so much I almost couldn't believe that it's only been two weeks.

"Zia, may bakery na ako." Nakangiting sabi ni Wilder dahilan para kumunot ang noo ko.

"Bakery?" Tanong ko sa kanya at tinuro niya naman ang tiyan niya. He has a bakery in his stomach? What? Oh, he was referring to his abs. Ahh, okay. Tapos?

"Hey, we need to scratch Mr. Warrior here!" Sigaw ni Lucas sa amin kaya tumingin na kami sa kanya at tsaka na tumingin kay Ares. I then looked at the guy who was standing beside me, smiling with all his glory. "Nice to see you again, my lady." He said as he touched my cheek.

Ngumiti naman ako sa kanya.

"Nice to see you again, Blu." I responded at bigla nalang may humila sa akin at inilayo ako sa kanya. Tiningnan ko nalang si Kuya Xy at lumingo-lingo nalang ako at hinubad na ang jacket ko at tsaka inilabas na ang pakpak ko. Archer also let out his wings at tsaka tumabi sa akin sa ere.

"How's Olympus?" Tanong niya habang nakatingin kami kay Ares na nakatingin lang din sa team.

"Fun. You would've loved it there. Lots of bakeries." I answered at umangat lang ang gilid ng labi ni Archer.

"I like how you to think." Napabuga lang ako ng hangin dahil sa sinabi niya at natawa naman siya sa akin. Tumingin nalang kami sa baba at kumaway lang sina Shinshi sa amin. "Create a game plan. I'll wait." Angat-labing sabi ni Ares sa amin kaya bumaba na muna kami ni Archer at tsaka tumabi sa team. A game plan, huh?

Tiningnan ko lang si Kuya Xy at tumango naman siya sa akin as he huddled up the team.

"Let's attack him from all rears. Zia and Archer, you attack from above. Wilder and I will be attacking him from below. Right side, Blu. Left side, Lucas. Back side will be Atlas and Shinshi. Front attackers will be Ash and Audin. Understood?" Sabi ni Kuya Xy at tumango naman kaming lahat maliban kay Audin na nakanganga lang sa amin.

"Asan nga ako?" Tanong ni Audin at hinila nalang siya ni Kuya Ash at lumipad na kami ni Archer. We just looked at the team that was preparing to attack from all rears. I don't know what'll happen. We're not like Team Alpha. We haven't been with each other for that long and we're not used to each other's abilities.
