Chapter 13: Volume 1, Chapter 12: Trouble’s Coming

It's been 10 minutes since we've played dominos for around 5 games. And the result is:

Me: 1 win

Axel: 3 win

Christine: 1 win

"My god… Axel, you're too good at this game!" Christine said in a slight frustration while dropping the Dominos into the carpet and laying down in the carpet because she's keeping losing.

"Well, you're not cool enough to defeat me, aren't you?" He said while smirking and raising his left eyebrows.

"Admit it, you're just using your 1% of your power," I asked while pointing out Axel smilingly.

"Humph, don't mess with me when you're against me in the domino international competition," He said in a slightly arrogant tone, smiling.

After that, I looked at my smartphone to check out the time. And the ride doesn't arrive for around 10 minutes. So, I asked Axel.

"By the way, it's been 10 minutes. But the ride doesn't come up yet. There must be a nearby jet sound as the sign of the ride is coming. But it seems like they're still far from arriving at this place. Can you call the ride again?"

"Alright," he answered.

After that, he stood up, picking up his Walkie Talkie and contacting the Osprey pilot.

While he's contacting the Osprey pilot, I talked to Christine.

"By the way, Christine. Did you know about superstition? And did you have your own superstition?"

After that, she answered.

"I had one. I ever though whenever I saw each leaves fallen from the tree, each person dies,"

Suddenly, I saw a dead leaf falling from the outside of this tent.

And then, I pointed at the dead leaves and said to her.

"Oh look, there's a falling leaves, that's mean someone must be dead,"

Hearing my words made Christine chuckle a bit.

And then she answered.

"Hehe, might be. But superstition will always be superstition. And it's up to you if you want to believe it or not.,"

I looked down at Christine's green ring on her left finger, and I asked about her green ring.

"And by the way, Christine. Why are you wearing that green ring on your left finger? Do you have a fiancé?"

"No. This is my mother's ring. She gave me this ring as the sign of her affection. And I used it because I loved it," she answered while showing me her ring.

"Oh… ok…"

When me and Christine are chit-chatting with each other. Suddenly, Axel said something while calling for the ride back home.

"What? Oh… alright. I'll report you later on," Axel said in surprise.

I was curious why Axel was surprised. So, I approached him and asked.

"What's wrong, Axel?"

"This is bad, Tsuyuki, Christine. The ride was in a trouble where their signal's interrupted. And that causes their arrival to be delayed for another minute," He answered worriedly.

Me and Christine were both shocked to hear the ride back home was in massive trouble.

"Could it be our ride, get shot, or some engine failure?" I asked again, curiously.

"I don't know. However, they've reported to us they'll come here sooner than ever besides the problem," He answered.

However, I'm confused about what kind of problem that the ride back home had, so I asked him back.

"What kind of problem? Didn't they told you about the problem they've had?" Suddenly, the ride back home called Axel again.

"Wait, the ride calling us back!" He said when he's picking up his Walkie Talkie.

And then he answered the call and said.

"This is Axel from Black Vulture, report!"

"We're sorry that *bzzzz* we're keeping you *bzzzzz* waiting. Unfortunately, our signal *bzzz* is *bzzzz* interrupted by *bzzzzz* some- *bzzzzz*" said the Osprey pilot while something interrupted their signals.

"Great… a superstition that used to be a laughingstock, now laughing at us back," I said to myself.

"What do you mean by that? Our ride back to home is in trouble, and something interrupting their signal!" he said worriedly.

I tried to find any clue about the problem. Suddenly, my mind reminded me of something that I'd experienced before.

"Could it be?" I asked myself. Suddenly, Christine startled both of us by saying.

"I knew it!" And then Axel asked again.

"What do you know, Christine?" And then, she explained the situation.

"I've heard that the Scorching Virus can interrupt and jam any signal. Considering this virus's categorized as an all invading virus that can invade anything,"

"I knew it! That stupid Radogaan is still out there!" I said to myself after I remembered about the problem.

And yes, Radogaan was still out there and it's probably still alive, although Red Cheetah was still taking care of that monster.

"Wait, isn't Red Cheetah is the one taking care of that monster?" Axel asked curiously about Red Cheetah.

Suddenly, the three of us got an emergency calls from operator Vladimir through our comms channels.

"This is operator Vladimir and Vanessa reporting to Black Vulture,"

"Go ahead!" I answered.

And then, Vanessa explained the situation.

"We've detected a hefty amount of Scorching Virus that interrupting your ride back home signal. It's originated from Radogaan, the infected monster you've fought earlier on before Red Cheetah taking care of it. Apparently, it's spreading through the midair. Despite that, the ground doesn't get infected. Besides that, you still need to be careful, and don't forget to wear your gas masks when fighting against that monster!"

After she explained the situation, I asked her about the Red Cheetah.

"Can you inform us of the Red Cheetah condition?"

"Unfortunately, Scott is wounded heavily where his left waist slashed by Radogaan tail tips. And it looks like the virus is scorching through his body slowly. However, he'll get infected if that virus doesn't get taken care of quickly," Vladimir answered.

It shocked both Axel and Christine after they heard Scott was heavily wounded.

Furthermore, I said to Vladimir and Vanessa.

"See that?! That's why we had to slay that monster earlier, before those Red Cheetah assholes stole our jobs and ended up killing themselves!"

"I know! But how can we defeat that enraged monster where his power was buffed because of his Scorching Virus?!" Axel retorted to prevent me from taking nonchalant action that led me to endanger my life further.

However, I smirked and replied to him,

"Don't worry guys. We're a new-types, we're an Authonoids that have double the immunity, and double the power we've had,"

"But that doesn't guarantee our safety after the mission! Because being an Authonoid is all about life or death!" Axel said to me assertively again.

And then he continued.

"Are you trying to die like an idiot? Don't you realize that you're almost died stabbed by her last day and you're almost died because of Radogaan's tail sweep before?"

It infuriated me to hear him preach about life and death continuously. So, I approached Axel's face and replied to him.

"So what's the deal if I get stabbed by her or get eaten by that monster? I'd rather die standing than live kneeling for your bullshit order of nothing!"

Suddenly, operator Vladimir tried to calm us down and said.

"Guys! I know that you have some quarrel. But please, this is not the perfect time for us to quarrel about something else. Apparently, Commander Katoki gave all of you full authorization to slay that monster. However, we will give you a backup forces whenever you're in a danger,"

And then, Christine asked Vladimir.

"Are you sure you'll back us up? And how did you guys able to contact us if there's an interruption by the Scorching Viruses?"

"Trust us. We'll keep tracking you down by using a signal from the underground antenna. And we'll continue to track you down whenever you're in a danger," Vladimir answered clearly.

Suddenly Vanessa added, panicking.

"Oh no, this is bad! Scott's infection rate is almost reaching to a critical level, and the Red Cheetah team is in a massive danger! Didn't realize the infection went rapidly than we've thought!"

"Guys, you need to rescue them quickly!" She continued in a hurry.

"It's alright, we'll take care of them real quick!" Axel replied.

"We'll help them right now!" Christine replied.

And then, Vladimir asked me.

"And what about you, the leader of Black Vulture?"

I was staying silent because they had restrained me from accomplishing my goal for their own bullshit reasons. Although this time they're allowing me to accomplish this goal, I'll predict they'll suddenly pull me out again from reaching my goal.

"Tsuyuki?" Vladimir asked me worryingly, because he thinks I muted the mic.

"Tsuyuki, can you hear me?" Vanessa asked anxiously.

Therefore, I sighed in frustration and replied to them.

"What's the point of you ordered us to accomplish the goal? If in the end, you guys keep blocking our path,"

"What do you mean by that?" Vladimir asked, confused, while chuckling awkwardly.

"Because you guys always blocked us from accomplishing our goal for your bullshit reasons, I'd rather did everything by myself. And there's nothing you can stop me," I replied while picking up my Nakajima and Kiryu.

"Tsuyuki, what the hell are you talking about?" Vladimir asked me in confusion.

"Don't put your life in danger again, leader of the Black Vulture! Don't you realize you're almost dead because of her stab last days?" Vanessa continued worryingly.

However, I ignored their worries and replied to them.

"If you tolerate everything, you stand up for nothing. And if you no longer take the chance that's existed in front of you, you're no longer deserve to live longer.,"

After that, I disconnected my comms channel from Vladimir and Vanessa.

"Wait, Tsuyuki! Tsuyuki! *Beep*" Said Vladimir after I disconnected my comms channel.

After I prepare myself, I'm stepping in front of the dark forest entrance. I equipped my EarPods again and listened to drum and bass music to reduce my stress during the battle.

"Tsuyuki, don't you realize that you love plunging yourself into the abyss and thinking you could get out alive?" Axel asked worriedly from behind.

I stopped for a second, looking back, and answered while sneering.

"It's alright. I never die," I answered when looking back in a glare.

When the drum and bass beat was dropped into the main beats, my heart was beating fast. And then, I dashed at lightning speed to rescue Red Cheetah and to slay Radogaan.

"TSUYUKI! WAIT!" Axel shouted at my behind.

Afterwards, both Christine and Axel followed my lead as they dashed to back me up.
