The Dragon's Seal: DEATH after LIFE (UNDER REVISION)

Chapter 64

Maxism Ford's View


"Pre?" Naguguluhang lingon ko kay Volt na nasorpresa sa sinabi ni Denise. Seryoso? Kay Volt meron tapos sa amin ni Paris wala?


"Waaaahh!! Panoorin na natin dali!" Atat na sabi ni Minerva at umayos ng upo. Isinalang na ni Denise ang CD tapos bumalik na din siya sa pwesto niya. Nagsimula na ang video.


Bumungad sa amin ang ubo ng ubo na si Bansot. At nasa likod niya...'yung lab. Ang laboratory kung saan namin nakita sina Dearil. She was in there. Why?


She heaved a deep breath.


"I won't tell where am I, because I know sooner or later, one of will find it out. I will now look in the future, starting right now." F-Future?


"And I know time will come and you'll know everything. Starting from the very beginning up to this day. I am sick. The Dragon's Seal's so overpowered that it's power overflows. Sera... Sera sacrificed her life and took the risk and joined them." Her tears welled up. She covered her face and cried.


"Baby Flyme, I'm sorry for taking your mother. LIFE... Raghkeid... I'm sorry for taking Sera. I still don't know if she can contain it and live. But I was hoping. I am hoping she will. It will. I still don't know the extent power of the Dragon's Seal. I've done so many research, experimentations and observations but...I just knew few. So I wrote everything here." She showed us a book named DEATH. Wait...


"N-Nakita ko 'yan!" Lahat sila ay nagulat. Pero ako...nakaramdam ng sobrang kaba, takot at TAKOT!


"Nasaan?" Fuuuuu---!!! Paano ko sasabihin!? What if...hanapin nila sa lab tapos hindi nila nakita? S-Shit! Papatayin ako ni Dearil! >_<


"Max?" Volt. Sinimulan na akong pagpawisan ng malamig. Nag-iwas ako ng tingin.


"Y-You see...mahilig akong magbenta ng mga antique kaya... Hehehehehehe. Kasama siya sa auction! :D" REST IN PEACE, MAXISM FORD POGI >_____________<


"ANO!?"


"Sorry naman kase! Hindi ko naman alam! Patawarin niyo ako!" Natatarantang sabi ko at hindi malaman ang gagawin. Tumayo si Dearil na kulay asul na ang mga mata. WAAAAHHH!! Papatayin na niya ako! >_________<


"What do you think you have done, lowlife?" Waaaaaahhh!!! Help meeeeee!!!


"I-I'm s-s-sorry---"


"I can't remember anything written in that book. Xerene knew many. Her thoughts are endless. You..."


"Stop. Azazel." Nagmulat ako ng isang mata at tumingin kay Van. Hinihila ni Baby Tyrant ang damit niya palayo sa akin. Yes, ganyan nga, Baby! Save me!


"Yada, yada, yada, yada, yada!" Paulit-ulit niyang sabi habang umiiling. She calmed down.


"Okay. Yada already." And she sit down, kinuha niya ang anak niya at nanahimik. She glared at me menacingly. And I know, hanggang ngayon o bukas na lang ang buhay ko.



Inulit namin 'yung part kung saan ipinakita ni Bansot 'yung libro then continue na ulit.


"I don't know but it felt like...someone I knew was still alive. Someone was making things again. I saw many inventions already but nothing was greater than the Dragon's Seal. But I'm thinking, what if, LIFE I was still alive, or J.T Lodge?"


"That will be impossible. They're already dead." Sir Devon. He spoke out our thoughts at tama naman siya. Patay na nga ang dalawa. Bakit naman mabubuhay pa silang ulit?


"If they make The Immortal to longer one's life, did they use it to theirselves if ever?" Nag-tinginan kami.


"Nothing's impossible to someone like J.T Lodge. Everyone thinks Albert Einstein was the genius ever lived but they never met a man like J.T Lodge. Back in 1845, when I'm the only one left, I visited our house. I saved all of my father's blueprints. There are unfinished works and finished, but they were gone." Nakagat ko ang daliri ko sa pagka-tense. Bansot was already feeling uneasy. She's pale, at napapagaya na rin kami.


"I don't know where are the finished works are. As the only child too, my father loves me very much. And I know, if he ever knew what LIFE I did to me, he will kill him for disgracing my face, my mother's face. If I'm not mistaken, there's formula of reviving a body back to life. The imperfect time travel machine. The Immortal, which is now I can say a can't-say-if-it-was-already-a-success. And the one, greater...scarier...than Dragon's Seal." Nagsimulang magsitulo ang mga luha niya.


"I don't know what it can do. But he said it was too powerful that it surpasses the power of the Dragon's Seal. He called it 'Nothingness' and, I think, it was something that once you've been touched, you'll be killed in an instant. Or, you'll be sent to 'nothingness'. I don't know. This 'Nothingness' needs the Dragon's Seal to activate it. That's why...I have a message for Dearil. Please, I hope you'll listen." I bit my lower lip.


"I know, someday, we will be seperated. I already knew someone who can, and his abilities are truly amazing. I want you to shatter my pieces. The thing in my brain, and my heart. I figured out that yes, we are really connected, but if one of my pieces remain alive, you will disfunction. If it's my brain, your head will explode because of my trapped thoughts, memories, and all. And if it was my heart, you will suffer. If ever that happens, if ever one of you see her holding her chest---JUST IF YOU SEE HER SUFFERING! PLEASE! DESTROY MY HEART TOO!"


X-Xerene...


We all looked at Dearil who's pale and frozen.



"Who knows if something magical will happen? Dearil, you're powerful. There are many things you can do. Electricity wasn't just your power. Dragon's Seal turned you to something...wonderful. Yes, it ruined your life before but I assure you, your life now will be wonderful. I want you...if time will let, I want you to meet them. Sera... LIFE... Even though I know you loath them, Dragunovvs. They are wonderful, Dearil. Dragunovvs this generation was wonderful. They are kind. They're not evil. Their heart was pure. There's no taint of darkness in it. They will take care of you. I know. Because they are my friends."


"R-Rin..." nagsitulo ang mga luha ko kahit anong pilit kong pigilan.


She smiled really wide, "I wish you and Baby Flyme will get along really well. He's a bastard and a boob addict. I know he'll fondle your breasts too!" Hahagulgol na sana kami pero napalitan agad 'yon ng tawa. Takte, muntik nang lumabas 'yung sipon ko! >_____<


"Ship ko kayo ni Baby Flyme, Dearil. Hihihihihi. Well, wala pa ring tatalo sa pag-aalaga ni Gerevich sayo. Huwag kang magagalit, ha? Kruxx ko talaga siya. Hihihihihi. Ampogi niya kase tapos ang bait pa. Ihhhh, nakakainis. Edi ikaw na mahaba hair. Iba talaga 'tong ganda mo, ano? Nakakaloka." Mapait kaming tumawa sa kalokohan niya. Loko-loko ka talagang Bansot ka.


"I knew it. You're really a flirt." Naka-ngising sabi ni Dearil. Hindi naman siya mukhang galit o inis, eh.


"I hope Gerevich will remain dead. Because who knows if he will be used against you, the Dragon's Seal?" Lahat kami ay agad na natahimik. Agad naman akong napa-isip.


"Is she saying that one of J.T Lodge or LIFE I was still really alive?" I mumbled. Nagtinginan kaming lahat.


"I'm running out of time. I told you, I already found someone who will seperate us both right? He's Volt. My minion." Fuck, Voltage Xirquit-Hanctary. Nakakairita! Masyadong peymus!


"Volt, I want to tell you that, the moment I looked into your eyes, I can't help but to cry. Because just like you, I've felt neglected and unwanted and unloved. I won't question you for being so cold. But how strong you are. Why? I was so...amused. I know that we will see each other again and I want you to know that as your Tita, charot, as your friend---"


"Friendzoned." Pfft.


"Shut up, motherfuckers." Inis na ismid niya sa amin na tutok na tutok sa screen.


"---I am really proud. Whatever you will become, I will still be proud. Volt, you're smart. You are really strong. They may take you down but your spirit will never crumble. I know you're the only one I can rely on. You're the only person, I TRUSTED VERY MUCH. You're the very first person to know my secrets. I'm sorry if I left you. But I need to. I'm sorry if I lied. But I need to. You're the very first guy...Enebe neheheye eke. Hindi ko na sasabihin. Baka kiligin ka, eh. Alam ko pa namang crush mo ako."


"WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! NGINA KA TALAGANG BANSOT KA!" Tawang-tawa kong sabi at pinaghahampas si Paris na tawang-tawa din. Nakakakatampo dahil favorite niya si Volt. Joke lang. Nakakaselos lang kasi talaga. Sana nakilala niya rin kami ng maaga katulad ni Volt. Masaya talaga akong naging kaibigan ko siya.


"215 years is not bad after all. If I were to die sooner, I will be proud. I hope the future will be better. No crimes. Healthy nature. No wars. No discrimation. No more inventions that could take lives. Dearil, you can stop all the threats. I know that you won't be the same anymore since I've influenced you with my emotions and attitudes and personalities. I want you to know whoever this 'Godfather' is. I can feel that he knew something about the Dragunovvs. This is all I can say. Thank you." And it ended.


No one talked nor moved. We remained in our positions. I can't help but to smile as tears roll down my eyes. No crimes? Healthy nature? No wars? No discrimination and inventions? She's making me laugh. It's impossible to happen. That will never happen. Just a single step outside your estate already has thousand of dangers in different ways. Your wish will never happen, Xerene. 'PEACE' is just a word. JUST A WORD.



*wheezes*


Napa-tingin kaming lahat kay Volt na nakatakip sa mukha. Hindi namin malaman kung tumatawa ba siya o umiiyak na ano dahil nakatakip ang mukha niya. Baka kinikilig siya?


KINIKILIG SI VOLT!?



"B-Bro... Kinikilig ka ba? Dahil sa sinabi ni Xerene sayo?" Nanlalaki ang mga mata kong tanong at gulat na gulat. Natigilan siya.


"Yes." Diretsong sagot niya. Walang pag-aalangan! OO AGAD!


*gasps*


"T-That's...new. First time, bro." Paris. Bakit? Hindi ba siya kinikilig sa asawa niya? Kung sabagay, puro bugbog inaabot niya kay kambal.


"Dada, mama? Badu wada yababa." Alien talk ni Tyrant habang nakaturo sa screen na itim na lang ang makikita. Van smiled at him smally before patting his head.


"She's not Mommy. She's my Luna. Daddy's ex-woman." PFFFFT! SIRAULO BA SIYA!? Sa harap mismo ni Dearil!?


"Nuna?" WAAAAAAHHHH!!! NAGSALITA ANG BULOL! O ________ O


"LU-NA. It's Luna. Huwag kang bobo."


"Bobo."


WAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!! SINABIHAN NIYA NG BOBO ANG DADDY NIYA! (O u O!)


"S-Shhh! Baby, that's bad! It's a bad word, okay? Baby Flyme naman, eh. Be careful of your words." Sumasakit ulo ko sa kanila. Sobra.


"I'm just introducing Luna to him, Mom." Simpleng sabi ni Dragon at itinayo si Tyrant sa lap niya.


"Say 'Daddy'."


"Dado."


"DA-DDY."


"DA---BU! ^O^" Pffft. Asar din 'tong si Tyrant.


"Da,"


"Da?"


"--ddy."


"---ddy."


"Daddy."


"Dado."


"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Tawanan naming lahat. Tyrant laughed with us too habang pumapalakpak. Kulang na lang ay maihagis siya ni Van sa inis. Well, baby pa din naman siya kahit medyo special siya. Matalino 'yan paglaki panigurado.


"It should be Momma Ayuri!" Kinuha siya ng lola niya.


"YUYI! ^O^"


"Waaaaahhh! He's so cute! My grandson is so cute~ ^O^" Panggigigil ni Mistress Ayuri sa bata at pinagdikit ang mga pisngi nila.


"Hindi ako papakabog! Baby, say Momma Serafim Charmeine!" Ang haba!


"Yada (>,  >)."


"Ang haba naman kasi, Honey. Iklian mo lang." Sir LIFE.


"Hmmmmp. Momma Sera na nga lang. Sige na, Baby. Momma Sera! ^O^"


"YERA! ^O^" ANG CUTE *Q*


"Waaaahhh!!! My grandson is so cuteee! ><" At hinayaan na namin silang dalawa na panggigilan ang bata.


"So, what now? What should---Volt, mamaya ka na kiligin, please. Nakaka-distract ka." Diretsahang sabi ni Locke sa kaniya na nagpa-hagikgik sa amin. Tumigil na si Volt at masama siyang tiningnan.


"Wanna die?" Die kaagad? Sadista din 'tong isang 'to. Bagay lang nga sa kaniya na maging kapatid si Dearil. *shooks head*


"We'll still stick to the plan. We will attend their wedding and the auction, and also, the battle. Speaking of auction," nagtinginan silang lahat akin. In this moment, I knew,


I WAS FUCKED UP.


"Would you mind if you'll start withdrawing millions now?"


T^T


"SORRY NA NGA KASEEEE!!!! PERA KO~~ TOT"



Volt's View


"Fuck this kilig. I can't help it." I sternly whispered at nasuntok ang pader. I covered my face once again. My lips were stretched wide, but I don't think they'll tear apart. It makes me gay.


"Hey, wheezing gay." I recomposed myself and turnes just to see the devil.


"What?" Tsk. Epal.


"Get out of the way. You're blocking the refrigerator." She said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes on her and stepped back.


"Hampas ko pa sayo 'yan." Tss. Bilhan ko pa siya ng marami niyan.


"Whatever, Loser Tosser." Her insult won't work on me.


"Hindi ka mahal ni Dragunovv."


"Hindi ka mahal ni Lodge."


"He mistakenly calls you 'Luna'. How painful."


"No one calls you using an 'endearment'."


"Everyone hates you."


"Everyone hates you too, faggot."


"Hindi ka mahal ni Dragunovv." Pag-uulit ko ulit. I won't stop teasing her hanggat hindi siya napipikon.


"Well, Xerene just left you for no reason before and, friendzoned you and now, she's marrying your enemy, Liorei." I sharply looked at her who's now smirking at me playfully.


"Fuck you, bitch."


"Well, fuck you too, brother." And then she left. Nasipa ko ang ref sa inis. Well, at least Xerene gave me a hint that she likes me too. Tss.

"Oh, really? Mama mo hindi ka inaruga." Napa-buga ako ng hangin dahil sa sinabi niya. She started it again. Naiinis na ako sa kaniya.


"Well, Mama mo inaaruga ako." I fired back and I saw how her expression changed. Napa-ngisi ako.


"You're an immature fetus."


"You're an immature bitch." I sipped on my coffee. Another day, another fuck day.


"Neglected."


"Unloved." Oh, c'mon. Stop teasing me, bitch. Bubuhusan na kita ng kape.


"Your mother loves your other more than you. And, she even denied you to the whole world." Is she really testing me?


"Well, kaya ka lang naman nagkaanak kay Van ay dahil parehas kayong lasing. Remember? You're a monster. You carried your son for 10 months. And you're acting greatly and calling yourself the 'Absolute' but you were so depressed. Also, you've been seal for 20 decades. Was it fun?" Sa sobrang inis niya sa akin ay sinuntok niya ako. But I got her hand and twisted it. Ibinaba ko ang kape ko at itinulak siya but she kicked me in my face.


"YOU----!"


"Come at me, asshole!" That's it. I've had enough.


Lumapit ako sa kaniya at hinila siya sa buhok. Nagsabunutan kaming dalawa. Dehado siya dahil sa haba ng buhok niya. Pinanggigilan ko siya ng sobra. Hinuli ko parehas ang mga kamay niya at itinalikod siya sa akin. I grip her both wrists using one hand. I pressed her down the table. She whimpered.


"Let me go, bastard! Let me go!"


"You still lack martial abilities, Sissy. How's the taste of defeat? I'm stronger than you physically. Noob." Mapang-asar kong sabi sa kaniya at mas diniinan ang pagkakasubsob ko sa kaniya sa lamesa. I made sure that she can't lay a finger on me because I know, she'll ground me.


Narinig ko na ang mga ingay ng iba na mukhang gising na. This bitch keep on moving so I gripped her more. Papalakas na nang papalakas ang mga boses at yabag nila sa hagdan. This bitch tried to stomp on my feet so I locked both of her legs between my feet. She gasped.


"Let me go! They're near!"


"So what? Are you afraid to see you restrained?" Puro lang pala siya yabang, eh.


"Are you nuts!? Do you know how awkward our position is!? It looks as if we're doing that 'dog style', motherfucker!" She snorted and it hitted me really hard. She speak again,



"What are you doing, STEPBRO?" She asked in a shocked and sexy way. My eyes widened. Mouth agape. I looked at them, still and frozen in the staircase. Oh, shit.


This is not what I'm supposed to be the end.



I immediately freed her.


"Bitch, what a good acting. You're disgusting as shit." I winced and left them in the middle of awkwardness.


Natampal ko ang noo ko.



I WILL SURELY MAKE HER PAY FOR THAT!
