Was Once Wonderful

Chapter 4

"I need you two to go to the Anonymous to fund out what are those other motifs and their group name. We need more information about them as much as possible." Commander said, looking at my eyes like I was a someone he can't trust. I can only sigh and deflate. "Now I feel like 3 days wasn't enough." Addy laughed at my act and hit me on the back to straighten my posture. "How many days before we return?" Addy asked, Shifting her weight into one leg and crossing her arms. "A week. I need you to gather as much information as possible." The commander said in his deep voice which used to give shivers down my spine on my first 3 weeks here but not anymore.

I'm searching for a certain voice of a certain Someone who I don't know the name of.

"Are we good?"  Commander looked at us with his chin lifted. Me and Addy just Saluted but something caught me. "Uhh, commander?" I slowly put down my salute and looked nervously at the buff guy in front of us. He raised a brow at me as I tried my best to look at something else in this room.

Well the wall seems attractive.

"Can we bring Chewie along?" I winced and expected a no but I only heard a sigh and a chuckle from Addy. "Fine. You can. Take care of her, okay? She's been helpful with removing the trauma from kids and helping with the survivors. And I know you're gonna be depressed when she dies and I don't want one of my best agents down and out everyday." He sent me a warm snile. I smiled back, wider and happier than what I always do. I saluted again as he dismissed us. Addy and I walked down the corridors, laughing at our corny jokes and our terrible dancing. "You and Chewie sure is inseparable." She chuckled at me. I just laughed heartily and put my hands on my pockets. "We sure are. I want to be with her until the future clears itself. She's the only family I have left. Maybe you, commander and Sattang but it's different once I lost her." I said with a sad smile and shaked my head, trying to get those thoughts out of my head.

Addy put a hand on my shoulder and gave me a comforting smile. "You won't. We will protect her. She's like a little sister to the both of us and losing her would be like losing someone important for me too." She said as she put her hands on the back of her head with a wide smile on her lips. "And I'm not gonna let that happen for the second time. Not when I'm capable of protecting the people important to me now." I felt her tense up but quickly regained her posture. "Let's go! So that we can go back here early." Addy walked past me as I let out another laugh and tried to catch up with her.

--Time skip brought to you by: Addy eating a box of doughnut--

"How's you house going?" I asked Addy as she laid on Dooly's back. Dooly is a Hybrid of Shark and lion. It pretty much looks like a lion but he's color blue with a fin and a shark's tail. His teeth are also of a shark and he is capable of breathing both in land and in water. Addy just hummed and looked at the blue sky. "Maybe after this mission, I can go back. Its been pretty much 40% built the last time I checked." She said quickly as we strolled on the wasteland, taking our time by walking around on the back of our hybrids. "I can't believe its just been a month. A lot has changed in a month, what more if this continues for a year or more?" I sighed and looked up to see Chewie looking down at me. I smiled and booped her nose.

"Ignious (the planet we're living in) won't be the same then." Addy sat up and reached down for her bag, taking out an Apple and wiping it with her shirt. She stared at it, trying to find the best spot to bite first and after a few moments, she bit on the fruit. "That's one hell of a crunchy apple." I chuckled. Addy tried her best not to laugh either or else the apple she's munching will fall down on the ground. "I know. I didn't expect it either."

"Fried chicken apple." I joked making Addy choke on the apple and hit her chest multiple times to be able to breath properly. She glared at me and bit on the apple again, turning her gaze back into the empty land in from of us. The buildings were still there but there's no sign of Zombies of SZs around. Not even a sign of life is in here except insects and the animals that originally lived here. Some of the buildings are breaking down and the sun is getting hotter and hotter every second we go out further. The forests are expanding and eating the buildings and covering them in thick vines, Trees are getting taller and taller and the air seems to be cold despite the scorching sun. Nature seems to be thriving here and claiming what was once hers. Sattang stopped and sniffed the ground. I looked at her and she growled, looking ahead of her and growling at Dooly to follow her.
