Mission X

Chapter II

Eight and Zero along with Seventeen, an Intellectual were being summoned again by the Queen before they left their home. Eight and Zero had their small pouches inside their pockets but these small bags are enough to place their equipments inside.

"Eight and Zero, take these in your journey," said the Queen, smiling. "I hope it will help the two of you to find from what both of you are searching for," she added.

Lumapit and dalawa sa reyna at tinanggap ang ibinibigay nito. It was a tiny round igneous rock covered with a fine gold metal. A microchip attached on top of the surface of it. "It will show something you should know about." dagdag pa nito.

They put their palm at their heads and bow as a sign of thank you. "Seventeen," tawag ng reyna sa mala-anghel na boses. "I want you to have this." Iniabot naman ng reyna ang isang maliit na susi. It was made of platinum adorned with small diamonds on its head and it shimmers as the light from the stars reflects on it. "It was the key of Genesis 300," she added.

Tumango ito na tila alam kung para saan iyon. Seventeen also do what Eight and Zero did a while back after receiving the Queen's gift. "I bless your long journeys." The Queen faces her palm in the direction of the two. They were bathed by the blinding light until their unearthly figure changed into unknown.

As the light vanished into small crystalline grains, the two become confuse about their outside semblance.

They were unsure and confused about their appearances right now. Halos hindi nila makilala ang sarili.

"What is this?" tanong ni Eight habang tinitingnan ang sarili sa mala-salaming dingding ng opisina.

He was naked. Wala siyang kasaplot-saplot kahit na ano at katulad niya ay tinititigan din ni Zero ang sarili sa dingding. Their hairs are as black as raven, yet their eyes are as blue as heaven. A well-built and slender body was granted to them, tall and average height, fair and light complexion of skin-a perfect physical attribute how humans define beauty.

"Well, humans, humans, humans..." paulit-ulit na litanya ng reyna habang bumababa sa maliit na hagdan. She playfully walks toward them while her hands are clasped behind. She formed a wide smile. "Humans are our rivals," she whispered between their ears. "They are too stubborn, greedy, self-centered, and cruel." Huminto ang reyna sa pagsasalita nang magsalita si Zero kaya't humarap ito sa kanya.

"But why did you give us mission that benefits our rival? Does it makes sense?" Zero's forehead creased. Tila naguguluhan ito dahil sa lahat kasi ng mga misyon nilang ginagawa, they were all benefited by them all. "Are you serious?!" dagdag nito.

The Queen wears a lopsided smile towards her. "Simply because humans are easily swayed by their emotions," Naglakad ang reyna patungo sa kanilang likod ngunit hindi man lang ito tinapunan ng tingin ng dalawa. "Emotions that will help us to perform our plan completely."

"What plan?" tila naguguluhan pa rin si Zero habang ang isang naroon din sa silid ay mataimtim na nakikinig sa pag-uusap ng kasama at ng reyna.

The Queen's serious face changed into guffaw as she goes back in front of the two. "Nice question Zero. Seems like you are too perplexed about this matter." tinapunan ng reyna ng isang ngiti ang dalaga. "Our plan? Well, you will find out soon but not now."

Tumalikod sa kanila ang reyna. "But before that, you should have embellish yourselves to become more human." She snapped her fingers and a black suit inside a transparent chamber gradually appeared before their eyes.

"It was a special form of suit intellectuals worked on for several years. Those suits enable us to stabilized ourselves in the home of humanity-Earth. Moreover, its fabric is made up of Draco-the most dangerous species here in our kingdom which protects our body in the atmosphere T1480 brings that we didn't used to which could cause us to gradually turn into ashes. However, the two of you should still be careful."

"Be careful from what?" tanong muli ni Zero na ikinalungkot ng reyna.

"Humans as I have said are greedy. A cosmorover was reportedly accused of stealing a suit that we own." Ang luha ng reyna ay nagbabadya nang bumuhos kaya't niyakap ito ni Zero upang patahanin ngunit di nila alam ay kasama ito sa kanyang plano-to convince the two to continue the mission since they didn't know about it. "Inangkin nila iyon na tayo ang may pag-aari. Therefore, they forced a cosmorover to undress that suit until your brother vanished into thin air since we can't last longer in the T1480." Kumalas ang reyna sa yakap ng dalaga. "Most of the time, your kinds haven't been turning back in this world, in our world and we aren't sure if that is the same case happened to them and I want you to turn back safely since I know the both you will successfully accomplish my assignment." Queen held their faces before going back to her seat.

Both of them get the suits inside the chamber before wearing those. Mababakas sa mukha ng dalawa ang pagkasurpresa dahil sa hindi malamang dahilan. Maaaring ito ay galing sa suot nila na nakapagpagaan ng kanilang katawan gayundin ang kanilang pakiramdam.

"Seventeen," tawag nito sa kanina pang nakatayo at nakikinig na Intellectual. "Escort them to Genesis 300." Tumango lamang ito bilang tugon at nagpaalam sa reyna gayundin ang dalawa bago lumabas ng opisina.

"Seventeen, ano ba iyong Genesis 300 na sinasabi ni Queen Ine Zhah?" kaswal na tanong ni Zero rito habang naglalakad patungo sa kung saan sila pinapadala ng reyna.

"GENESIS 300 ang isa sa pinakamalaking spaceship na naisagawang itayo isang bilyong taon na ang nakararaan ngunit nasira ito nang tamaan ito ng isang malaking bulalakaw kung kaya't nahirapan kaming isaayos ang napinsalang parte nito. Umabot sa tatlong daang taon ang paggawa at pagkumpuni namin dito at sa wakas ay nasa mabuting kundisyon na muli ito. It was the spaceship I showed you yesterday," paliwanag ni Seventeen sa dalawa. Tumango na lamang ang dalawa bilang tugon.

"Maari mo rin ba kaming kuwentuhan tungkol sa ibang nilalang na maaari lamang makita sa object Earth upang sa gayon ay may ideya na kami roon?" hinging pabor ni Zero sa kausap.

"Well, humans most sleep at least part of the night and are active in daytime. They eat two or three meals in a day. Working time? Unlike us, they mostly involve a daily schedule, beginning in the morning and others call it profession. Evening is often leisure time. Bathing every day is a custom for many. Beyond these broad similarities, lifestyles vary and different people spend their days differently. Humans had hierarchy in the state of living. Differences in the lives of the rich and the poor, or between factory workers and intellectuals, may go beyond their working hours. Children and adults also vary in what they do each day," mahabang salaysay nito at tahimik na nakikinig lamang ang dalawa.

Hindi nila napansin na nasa harap na sila ng malaking pinto dahil sa kanilang mahabang pag-uusap. Tumayo sila roon hanggang sa magbukas ng kusa ito at pumasok sa malaking kwartong iyon.

A/N:

Dahil wala talaga akong kaalam-alam sa mga Terrestrial creatures ay nag-imbento ako ng akin HAHAHAHA. But since my knowledge is still not enough, nag research din ako about sa kanila pero wala rin akong nakita HAHAHAHA. Btw, the spaceship I mentioned in Chapter I is fully researched and can you take a guess about it? More of spaceships kasi na ginagamit ng mga aliens ay mukhang plato na may one cup of rice sa ibabaw. You know what I mean HAHAHA
