The Sleeping Dragon

Chapter 7

"this is carol yap again, for the talk, on CNN. We now have general tuba here with us to discuss on matters concerning about jake burns." carol

General tuba then appears on the screen, sitting beside carol.

"General, what are your thoughts on the matter?" carol

"well, where do I start? I mean, there is basically a lot that I can say." tuba

"for starters, lets begin from the very beginning. What can you say about him himself? Regarding the past and towards what he is now." carol

"when I first met him at the malacanang, he was very collected and knows what he is doing, but I feel sorry for him when I heard about his past and what the americans did to him." tuba

"yes, he did mean in his words that the americans has done something to him that he cant forgive." carol

"true. Cause if I were in his shoes, I also wouldnt forgive the americans for what they had done to me. But since to forgive is to forget, knowing him, I don't think that he wont ever forget about the facts." tuba

"he also said about low frequency something, isnt that a form of hypnosis?" carol

"yes. Normally, only animals can hear such frequencies. But due to recent technological advances, it is now possible to have a low frequency signal be transmitted directly towards the brain via the ears. Normally, we can hear about how many decibels, I forgot. But during low frequency sound waves, our brain automatically translates those sound waves." tuba

"i see." carol

"the americans even sent some soldiers to get jake burns, only to fail, due to jake awakening at that moment." tuba

"really? They really sent soldiers to pick up jake?" carol

"yes. As pitiful as his situation was, we are glad that he is what he is right now." tuba

"can we go back a bit? Like, can you tell us more about when the americans came to kidnap him." carol

"i don't really have the exact details, but I heard from him that the americans first came to him directly. And in that instant, the a voice inside him said something to him which gave him his lightning." tuba

"i see. And with that, he just kick their american asses right?" carol

"wrong. As it was the first time he used his powers, someone or something took over him and killed those soldiers, an entity if may be. And you know what he said?" tuba

"no, what?" carol

"he said the god of death was protecting him. Cant you believe it? Death itself?" tuba

"uh-uh.. and you believe all this?" carol said skeptical
"nope, since we basically have no evidence. What we have is just his word for it, all except for all his achievements in the field." tuba

"yes, lets talk about that next. Waht are your thoughts of jake as a superhero?" carol

"first of all, jake isnt a superhero. Hes more of a valuntary military personnel that we call in case of emergencies." tuba
"but everybody is still calling him the hero, the monster hunter or slayer." carol

"let them call him whatever they want. To me and the military, hes a valuable asset." tuba

"i see. Lets skip the part about his adventures, since jake already told us his adventures." carol

"yes, lets skip that. Its also a good thing that he knows about privacy for victim protection." tuba

"he didn't say any other names aside from big names like president tramp anyways." carol
