Meanwhile, inside a knight border fort base at the Almeda Kingdom border while the Operation Hidden Ark is still ongoing...

Two guards are positioned by the fort's watchtower to guard the premises and vicinity.

Guard 1 : " *yawns* I wonder when the captain will come back. He promised that we're having a toast for his new promotion. "

On his left side, a guard replies.

Guard 2 : " Where did they go? *sits on a chair* "

Guard 1 : " They are going where the five nobles went inside the forest. They haven't been able to contact our fellow knights there. So they went there to investigate. "

Guard 2 : " Ahh. Those five cocky pieces of shit? "

The first guard was surprised about the second guard's response.

Guard 1 : " Shhh. Keep your voice down! What if someone hears you? "

Guard 2 : " Oh come on. It's fine. We're the only ones outside. Others are now sleeping inside. So, about those nobles, what are they even doing here? "

Guard 1 : " I dunno man. The captain said that they will be visiting some "old friend" inside the forest.

Guard 2 : " "Old friend" huh. Inside the forest? What? "

Guard 1 : " Yeah. They even ordered an escort of a few of our knights here. What an absurd. "

Guard 2 : " I bet the captain decided to go on with it. "

Guard 1 : " Yeah. He did. He told me that the nobles paid him a decent amount of money! "

Guard 2 : " REALLY? Wow. "

Guard 1 : " Yes. The money will be used to celebrate his promotion! Of course, we're all invited. We've got nothing else to do here besides preventing wild animals from going inside this gate. "

Guard 2 : " You can count me on that! "

Guard 1 : " Oh yeah. But also, did you hear about the recent news reports? "

Guard 2 : " Hmmmm? What news? "

Guard 1 : " The news that some "strange things" that are flying around the Gargan Forest? "

Guard 2 : " Wait.......what? Flying? "

Guard 1 : " Yeah. According to the reports, they have spotted three flying metallic objects in which two of them have the same appearance."

Guard 2 : " Seriously? Are they live creatures? "

Guard 1 : " I don't know. The reports said that it's mostly made of metal and iron. It also emits some strange banging and drumming sounds. "

Guard 2 : " WHAT?. THERE'S NO WAY A METAL CAN FLY! LET ALONE IRON! "

Guard 1 : " I know. I even still can't believe it. But our captain also said that he also saw those strange flying objects from afar while they were on a patrol. You know our captain is. He's not the type of being a liar"

Guard 2 : " Huh. Our world sure is full of mysteries. "

Guard 1 : " But what's more even strange is that sometime after they saw those flying objects, they heard loud explosions and such. It's like continuous thumps and barrages of cannon fire and drum rolls. "

Guard 2 : " Wha-? Come on man! Enough with the jokes. There's no way a cannon can be used nor transport inside that dense forest. "

Guard 1 : " Yeah well, they said it on the reports. There's still a benefit of the doubt. "

Guard 2 : " Uhhrggh. I can't trust some of the reports right now these days. Some are just plain old stupid, just to slack off. Some are even beyond impossible. Like they're just joking with it. "

Guard 1 : " You said it. "

Then, they heard the faint thumping sound from a distance.

*tugugugugugugugugugugugu*

Guard 1 : " Wait. Do you hear something? "

Guard 2 : " *gets up on chair* Yeah. Keep your weapons ready. "

After a while, the thumping sounds are getting louder.

Guard 2 : " WAIT! ISN'T THIS WHAT YOU CALLED THE LOUD BANGING SOUNDS? "

Guard 1 : " I DUNNO! QUICK! HURRY UP GET A MONOCULAR! "

The second guard then went to grab the monoscopic behind him and used it.

He's shocked that he sees two flying machines from afar. The

Guard 2 : " UHHH! HEY..I THINK YOU MIGHT WANNA SEE THIS! "

The first guard takes the monoscopic and looks through it.

Guard 1 : " FUCK! THIS MIGHT BE IT! THE STRANGE FLYING OBJECTS! OH MY GOD! ARE THOSE REALLY CREATURES? THERE'S SOMETHING ROTATING ON THE TOP PART! "

Guard 1 : " WAIT! IS IT ME, OR ARE THEY GOING WHERE THE CAPTAIN AND THE OTHERS WENT? "

The answer to that question left the guards in shock.

*bratatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatatata*

Guard 2 : " OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK! DID YOU SEE THAT? "

Guard 1 : " ARE THOSE THE CANNONS THEY ALL HAVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT? "

A flying machine left out continuous gunfire beneath its lower portion. The faint echoes of the gunfire resonate around up to the guards.

Guard 2 : " JEEZ MAN! WHAT HAPPENED TO THE KNIGHTS OUT THERE? "

Guard 1 : " FUCK! YOU STAY HERE WHILE I GO WHERE THE CAPTAIN AND THE REST IS. "

Guard 2 : " BE CAREFUL MAN! "

The first guard then hurries up downstairs and runs as fast as he can towards the site.

... ... ... ... ... ... ...

After a couple of minutes, the guard arrived at the site.

He doesn't see the three flying machines. They've flown off as the sounds of them are getting fainter and disappearing.

But, his eyes widened and his mouth clenched.

He sees a destroyed and wiped-out landscape. Leaves and branches of woods scatter around the place. Chunks of dirt rocks are scattered across the place. Leaving the house in the middle, purely intact.

But the most horrible part, he saw countless knight corpses. Some aren't even recognizable as their remains scattered on the ground.

This made the guard pukes.

He then ran back to the base to report on what he had seen on the site where the three flying machines went.

... ... ... ... ... ...

After another couple of minutes.

The first guard returns to the base.

Guard 1 : " *pant* *pant* *pant* *pant* "

Guard 2 : " WHA- WHAT HAPPENED? WHERE ARE THE REST AND THE CAPTAIN? "

The first guard then looks at the second guard with wide eyes and with a face of horror. His face says it all - he kind of saw an accurate depiction of hell.

He didn't utter a reply to the guard, instead, he then scrambled his papers and various things like his belongings and weapons.

Guard 1 : " *pant* I NEED *pant* TO GET OUTTA *pant* HERE! "

The second guard is also very scared and anxious as to what happened.

Guard 2 : " HEY HEY! WHOA WHOA! DUDE WHAT HAPPENED! "

The first guard looks at him with a very scared face.

Guard 1 : " THEY'RE KILLED, MAN! THEY'RE FUCKING KILLED BY THOSE FLYING MACHINES! "

Guard 2 : " STOP IT, MAN! YOU'RE SCARING ME! "

Guard 1 : " I SAW IT! I SAW WITH MY OWN EYES! THEY'RE- "

Remembering the grueling scene he had just witnessed and saw, the first guard pukes on the floor.

Guard 2 : " WHOA WHOA! ARE YOU ALRIGHT? "

Guard 1 : " ARRGHH. DO YOU THINK I'M ALRIGHT? DO YOU THINK WE'RE ALRIGHT? THERE ARE MONSTERS OUT THERE KILLING PEOPLE! "

Guard 1 : " I NEED TO GET OUTTA HERE! TELL SOMEONE THAT I'LL RESIGN AS A GUARD AND DON'T EVER FIND ME! "

The first guard then ran away with his belongings and went through inside the gate.

Guard 2 : " What the fuck happened? "

The scared second guard then also left the post and hurried back home, leaving the base behind.

Meanwhile, H.Q.'s Medic Bay...

When the medical officers left the room left the room, Felicia and Olivia stayed behind and went beside Felicia's mother. They have been mourning her mother ever since they went inside the Medic Bay. At first, Felicia is deeply dejected and downhearted as she sees her mother inside the body bag.

And as time passes by, Felicia is accepting the passing of her mother. She knew from her heart that her mother doesn't want Felicia to cry long over for something that happened.

Besides her, Olivia also condolences with her.

[ Olivia ] : " I'm sorry for your loss Felicia. I, too, lost a mother so I know what it feels like. "

[ Felicia ] : " *sniffs* Thank you, Olivia. Thank you. *sniffs* "

[ Olivia ] : " Don't mention it. If you need anything else, we're here for you alright? "

" Okay. *sniffs* "

Harvey, with the three HOTEL Operators, walks in.

Harvey : " I'm so sorry Felicia. We, we didn't make it. "

He and the HOTEL Operators bow their heads.

[ Felicia ] : " It's okay, Sir Harvey. We've seen what happened. It's not your guy's fault. "

Felicia then makes a resentful face and looks at her mother's body bag while clenching her fists and teeth.

[ Felicia ] : " It's those bastards. I swear to god! I will take my revenge on them! "

Because of this, Harvey suddenly reminded him of Grandpa Alex's story about his participation in the Vietnam War. Granda Alex also wanted to take revenge and vengeance for his fallen friends and comrades.

Harvey, with a serious face, then recommends an opportunity to Felicia.

Harvey : " Felicia, you wanted to take revenge right? "

[ Felicia ] : " Eh? "

Surprised about Harvey's question, Felicia looks at Harvey and agrees with a determined face.

[ Felicia ] : " Ye-yes! I will do anything to wipe all corrupted, evil nobles and thieves! "

"........For your mother right? "

[ Felicia ] : " YES! "

Harvey : " Good. Do you want me to train you on how to get that sweet revenge? "

[ Felicia ] : " YES SIR HARVEY! "

Olivia then suddenly interrupts.

[ Olivia ] : " Bu-but, Sir Harvey! "

Harvey looks at Olivia with a little saddened face.

Harvey : " Olivia, I know what you're thinking. Yes. Revenge isn't a good thing. But so are we. The only thing that forgives these kinds of situations easily are gods and time. We aren't saints and gods who used to forgive sins by praying or letting them have another chance. We aren't good guys. So are them."

Harvey then approaches the body bag on the bed and gazes at it.

Harvey : " But, the difference is that they do evil things for the sake of evil. "

He then looks back at Olivia.

Harvey : " While we do evil things for the sake of good. Heh. One quote from my past says: " We get dirty, and the world stays clean. That's the mission. "

He looks back at the HOTEL Operators.

Harvey : " It's better to be an "evil" with good intentions than a "saint" with evil intentions. "

Olivia doesn't say another word and Harvey looks back again at Felicia.

Harvey : " Felicia, you sure about this? There is no going back. "

[ Felicia ] : " Yes, Sir Harvey! I will not back up from this! "

Harvey : " Good. For starters, call me Captain Harvey and salute me whenever we greet alright? Like this *salutes* "

Felicia stood firmly.

[ Felicia ] : " Uh..uhmm..Yes, Captain Harvey! *salutes* "

Harvey : " Hmm. Olivia, I'm sorry but, we had to do this. "

Olivia makes a short sigh of concern.

[ Olivia ] : " I-it's okay, Sir Harvey. Just, be careful you guys, and don't overwork yourselves. ".

Harvey : " Alright. You girls might wanna rest for the night. It's getting late. Tomorrow, Felicia, we will go to give a proper burial ceremony for your mother okay? "

[ Olivia ] : " Thank you, sir! "

Harvey : " Alright. It's very late now. Come on now you two. Let's go back to the Main House. "

[ H.Q. ] [ C.M.O.-Temp. ] [ HOTEL 01 ] : " I will then go ahead and continue on with the operations around here. There are things to be done. HOTEL 03 and HOTEL 07, escort Sir Harvey and the girls. "

[ HOTEL 03 ] : " Yes, sir! "

[ HOTEL 07 ] : " Roger that. "

The three then head outside the building with the two HOTEL Operators.

...

...

...

After a brief walk, they made it inside the Main House. The two HOTEL Operators walked in with them and went to their respective patrol positions.

[ Olivia ] : " Oh yeah, Sir Harvey. "

Harvey : " Hmm? What is it? "

[ Olivia ] : " About your 'friends'. Is it necessary to them to guard us? Cause it's a bit embarrassing. "

Harvey : " Hmm. Now you've said it, yes. It's a little bit embarrassing and exaggerating. Sorry about that. Then I will give you guys these. "

Harvey then picks two handheld radios inside his Inventory Space System.

Harvey : " Here, you can take this. Here is yours too, Felicia. Use them to communicate with us whenever you are. "

Olivia and Felicia grab the radios and Harvey then proceeds to teach them how to use them.

They are very fascinated by the new objects. This is their first time using these radios. Felicia is seriously studying each part of the radio as they are getting instructions on how to use it by Harvey.

... ... ... ... ... ...

After the brief lesson, the two head out into their respective rooms. Harvey also prepares a room for Felicia and notifies her about her room on the second floor.

Harvey : " Ok so, your room is just two rooms from me on the left, there. *points room* "

[ Felicia ] : " Thank you, captain. "

... ... ... ... ... ...

As Felicia went inside her room, she sits on her bed and looks at the shining moon at the window while holding the radio Harvey gave to her.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

[ Felicia ] : " Don't worry mom. You can take a rest now. I will now handle the rest. "

She then lies down on her bed and sleeps.
