El-Fighter: The Brave New Fighter (Book I)
77. Wondering

“ AHHH ! DAMN ! DAMN ! SIAAAL ! “ Shouted Tazuya who was annoyed at seeing Morsdantaque and his elite soldiers running away leaving them while hitting the ground

“ Tazuya ! Calmly ! It was because our Enemy decided to run ! So it's not our fault ! “ Said Inuya while calming his best friend

“ What about Oxtoroo and his friend ? “ Ask Ryuga

“ We'll talk about it in ! Go ! “ Invite Rigel to return to the meeting room to discuss the incident just now

“ Errr in messy space state ? “ Ask Jubei

“ Don't worry.. I can return it “ Ataru said while removing his Tijdbreker

Rigel, Dullart and V-FIGHTER re-enter the meeting room of MIRA building. Upon entering the room, Ataru immediately used Tijdbreker to improve the atmosphere in the meeting room to be neat as before

“ Okay ! Now do it ! “ Sahut Inuya

“ Alternate : Terug ! BEGIN ! “

(SRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING )

“ WOAH !!! “ everyone was stunned when they saw the Alternate technique from Tijdbreker

“ DECA-I.. I'm sure the kitchen in this building is not damaged because Thetoid it ! Please request with robot workers to prepare snack and drink cans “ Rigel's orders to DECA-I

“ Okeee~ I siaaaaaaaap~ “ Says DECA-I with great vigor

“ This Alternate Technique is really cool huh ! “ Compliment Ryuga

“ Sure! The Alternate technique from Terug can restore the specifications of an object that I showed to the previous time perfectly ! For example in restoring this meeting room to be neat a few minutes ago~ “ explained Ataru

“ Hmmmm! That means... Can you bring the dead back to life ? “ Ask Jubei

“ Can't be ! Death is an absolute thing, so Tijdbreker can't be used in that ! But this can treat people who are injured when their deaths start to approach “ explained Ataru while explaining the spefication of the technique

“ You know.. If we were fast I think you could use that to heal his friend Oxtoroo ! “ Tazuya said while sitting in one of the meeting room chairs

“ It worries me about him “ Sahut Jubei

“ Don't worry.. I can see if Sampson's injuries don't put his life at risk ! Besides it looks like Oxtoroo used a teleportation medal to transfer himself to Superbia-07. I'm sure General Argus already knew the action and was the one who gave them permission “ explained Dullart.

“ General Argus ? Ah is he the person we once faced when we first used Fighter Possession ?! “ Tanya Tazuya who remembered the military general Theta

“ True once ! “ Answer Dullart

“ Hmmmm... What does that mean that the General and also with the woman named Swift Polly... would like to cooperate with us if ? And is it true that Oxtoroo and his friend dared to fight the Prince with the General's permission ? “ Ask Jubei to Dullart

Rigel and the other V-FIGHTER are shocked to hear what Jubei is asking about Argus. Inuya and Ryuga feel it is impossible because Oxtoroo has said that he and Sampson are not on their side even though he is fighting to defend and support Dullart to seize his imperial throne. Ataru and Tazuya had the same thought as the Beta and Gamma

“ Sorry Jubei... I'm not sure if they want to cooperate with us ! You yourself remember what Oxtoroo ‘kan said that he did not side with us even though he helped Dullart-san ? “ Clear Ryuga

“ That's right ! It seems that if they want to help us it does not mean they want to be our friends “ added Inuya

“ Yaa~ maybe he does not know if all this time Dullart-san always sided with us ‘kan ?” Jubei Sahut

“ They are not as naive as we think.after all the reason they want to cooperate with us is just because we have the same goal ! I'm sure the reason why Oxtoroo said that was because he himself knew we wouldn't agree to cooperation with a group of people who had attacked our town ! “ Sahut Tazuya

“ I can hear if what Oxtoroo said is reality and there are no signs if they are lying ! They are willing to help us but that does not guarantee them forever to be our allies ! “ More Ataru

“ That's right ! And know the children. Such a thing is very natural to happen ! I remember when I and others became El-Fighters to fight LA-SOMBRA and some other crime organizations ! Although not all of them can be our friends completely... and only a handful that we can meet even though it is not so often we meet or contact if we need to in the need of the mission ! “ Clearly Rigel while explaining about their former allies

“ Hmmm interesting also sounds~“ Sahut Jubei

“ Know... even one of our allies.. they are the head of the family of the richest family in the city and in Neo-Asia “ Continue Rigel which makes the fifth V-FIGHTER curious.

“ Haaaaaaaah ? “ Fifth V-FIGHTER was shocked by what Rigel said just now

“ Heh ? Who is he ? “ Ask Ataru

“ Hmm... Akashinya ? The byakkoshi ? Kurokame ? Or maybe... AAAAAAH... Mangetsu ?! “ Tanya Jubei while mentioning the four richest families in Shinjitsu and it seems she thinks bah

“ Nggg... Jubei~ To be honest I'm not sure my family has ever been an ally of El-Fighter “ Ryuga said

“ Yes can be ‘kan ? Maybe your family's predecessors have ? “ Jubei

“ Who is the rich family you mean Mr Rigel ? “ Inuya asked Rigel about the rich family

“ One day you will know who “ Rigel explained with a smile and glanced at Ryuga

“ Hooo “ Dullart can see what is meant by Rigel while paying attention to his face mimic

Tazuya asked Rigel how Rigel and the others could get their allies in the fight. Rigel explains that it's not as easy as finding a friend at school and that it takes a long time to get them to believe in the visions of the five of them

“ So how do you and other El-Fighters find your allies of struggle?” Tazuya Tanya

“ Hmmm... To be honest the six of us are not charismatic people in finding friends or allies.... but what you need to know if looking for allies is not as easy as finding friends at school ! “ Rigel replied with his firm tone

“... “

“ In search of allies... Nigulas only offers them to join or not to explain our vision and mission, and of course many doubt it ! Nigulas is also not a person who forces the will. if they do not want to yaaaa how else..he let it and look for others who can be invited to be allies ! That is because we must not force the will of others if we feel that what we do is right and for the salvation of the people... that doesn't mean we should force them to agree to our invitation ! “ Continue Rigel who warns Tazuya and others not to force others to agree and ally with them

“ You guys yourself how do you guys meet each other ? “ Ask Dullart

“ Hmmm~ is just like you.. there is no coercion whatsoever.. I became friends with Inuya because I saved her and encouraged her to beat up the upperclassman who beat her... Jubei and Ryuga later became our friends because Jubei thought we were fun to be friends with... I don't know~ thatpun we are also not smart people in attracting the attention of others~ “ Tazuya explained with a smile explaining how he could meet Inuya and others

“ Yaaa... might be interested because of our reputation that always beat up the damn upperclassman ? “ Celtap Inuya

“ No not it~ therefore I can feel if you guys are unique people ! And I can see you guys have the same vision as me “ Ataru said

“ Hm ? “ Inuya and Tazuya did not understand what Ataru said

“ Okeee~ if you already know not to force the will of people to support your visions it could be a guide to find allies of the struggle ! Indeed not everything can come with a lot, but I am sure one day you will find it “ Mumbled Rigel.

“ So... about earlier ? “ Ryuga Mumbles

“ If they want to fight but do not want to be our friend..it is not a problem ! As long as they are consistent with their goals.it doesn't hurt if we help them to beat Morsdantaque “ Tazuya explained.

“ Yaaa ! You're right, Nak Tazuya ! I'm glad you guys finally caught what I mean “ Praise Rigel

*****

On the Mothership of Theta, the elite Morsdantaque soldiers were talking about the failure of their mission while waiting for the arrival of Morsdantaque and Gretue to talk about what they should do next. It seems that the five elite soldiers who are full of confidence are still not believing in the actions of Oxtoroo and Sampson who are considered to have betrayed their people. While the other soldiers were talking and expressing their frustration, Energateez said nothing and seemed still silent and engrossed in drinking alone

“ Haaaa ! Already we failed to get the Young Master, coupled with the bastard Oxtoroo and Sampson who dared to betray us ! “ Meteoralez growls while drinking his drink

“ Eeeeh~ So it's true that ugly became a traitor ! Cih... There-there is only ! If I had known that time I would have punished him ! “ The grumpy Rough Polly who does not accept seeing her ex-boyfriend become a traitor

“ Ohooo~ Rough-chan.. I know you and Oxtoroo were the most beautiful ex you were in school and broke up in a miserable way ! Judging from your words I can see you still care about Oxtoroo “ Ledek Galaztis

“ Oi oi ! Sudaaah sudaaaah ! Stop talking like a pathetic little schoolboy ! If you have seen the action of Oxtoroo and Sampson is a form of betrayal, then from now on you must not give them forgiveness or a chance to live in their old position ! “ Tegur Glabe with his firm tone

“ That's right ! Later if we meet the two people again we have to break all their bones and drag them back here ! “ Meteoralez said

“ Hey hey ! You may want to punish them both to the satisfaction of it, but remember here we are ordered to take our little prince back home and who we should be fighting now ! “ Sahut Galaztis while reminding their mission

“ Tenaaang~ about it we definitely remember our mission ! “ Said Glabe

“ Heh ! It's also sometimes you always forget because of the fun of fighting with enemies that you consider “interesting” ! “ Chirps Galaztis

“ Ohhh~ looks like you're getting comfortable acting like a team leader yaa~ Galaztis-kun ! It's terrible if I keep going and leaving all my responsibilities to someone like you ! “ Obviously Glabe with his irritated tone

“ Heh ! If you think I'm a bad person to be a substitute while you're about who's a good fit huh ? “ Ask Galaztis

“ Do you think the Captain of the Technician knows the intention of Oxtoro ?! “ Ask Meteoralez

“ Heh ! I'm not sure he knows about her or cares about what Oxto does ! But lucky I managed to bring him here so he could be protected from Oxto and Sampson ! “ Clear Rough Polly while eating a biscuit shaped white leaves

Rough Polly glanced at the Energateez who was drinking Stabeer alone while looking at the entertainment events of Thetoids from her tablet. Curious why the Energateez was not as noisy as usual made Rough Polly a little suspicious of him

“ Oi Ene  ! “ Call Rough Polly while approaching her

“ Oh ! Heeeee~ “ Answered Energateez with usual attitude

“ Tumben really you are not noisy as usual ! “ Say Rough Polly

“ Ayolaaah~ I was watching a show that brought the super model Matrika as the guest star ! You see that ?! “ Obviously Energateez while thrusting the tablet that shows an event where Matrika became the star guest

“ Eeeh~ is not interesting ! I'm prettier than her ! Just ordinary ! “ Grunts Rough Polly

“ If yes why from the first you did not choose a beauty contest rather than join the military if you feel the most beautiful among other girls ! “ Cels Energateez

“ It's none of your business to know about it ! “ Answer the woman in her irritated tone

“ Hmph ! “ Dengus Energateez who is back to watch

After pleasantries with the Energateez, Rough Polly recalled the reaction of the surprised Energateez when he managed to slash Sampson. The woman could see that Energateez did not show her anger at seeing her friend betray or proud that she had punished the traitor

“ You know.. I'm happy because I realized that my actions to bring Swift back were a good decision.. because I could avoid it from the actions of Oxtoroo and Sampson ! “ Clear Rough Polly with her proud tone

“ Hah ? “

“ Yaaa ! I know Swift isn't the type to listen to sloppy people ! But I'm just a little scared if one day he gets affected by their actions ! Heh... There-there are only those two that..I don't think they are also very difficult to predict yaa~ I can see the two of them that is a cowardly person who pretends to be strong and right !“ Rough Polly with a relaxed tone

“ Scarers... ” Murmured Energateez to himself while recalling Sampson's words and expressions as he accidentally slashed at him as well as Jubei's words as he faced him

“ You yourself how ?! Always hide behind the backs of your friends and refuse to know their weaknesses ! I am a coward ! But I try not to be a burden !!! “ Jubei said as he started their fight

“ Just like you.. I do this.. because I dare ! “ Sampson said after he protected Dullart from his attacks

Energateez got out of her chair and said she had peed because she had drunk a lot of alcoholic beverages in a hurry. Seeing the short young man leave the room, Glabe warns Energateez not to long into the bathroom

“ Ah ! Where are you going ? “ Ask the confused Rough Polly

“ Kebelet peed~ I've mostly drank ! “ Said Energateez in a hurry

“ There-There's only you ! “ Galaztis said while patting his forehead

“ Ene Wait ! “ Call Glabe

“ What ?! “ Energateez replied with her irritated tone

“ Don't take long ! Later the two princes come you can be scolded looh~ “ Glabe gave a warning to Energateez

“ Yesaaaaaaaaaaaaa~ “

After coming out of the toilet, Energateez washed her hands and washed her face. Again, he again remembered the words of Jubei and Sampson, which eventually made him question all his actions

“ Why am I suddenly worried about him ? He betrayed us ? Why am I not angry or proud of giving him the punishment for betraying us ? The Fighter girl... Why does she seem to pity me ?! He said it as if he knew that I was actually a coward ! “ Thought Energateez while looking at her reflection from the mirror in the toilet

Energateez then remembered what her mother said when she was a school student. He remembered himself always bullied and insulted by other students because he was considered weak and a coward. That makes him always protected by Sampson, a figure who always supports him to be strong but accepts his own weaknesses. But his mother does not accept his son who always looks weak and wants Energateez to always go forward and do not care about weaknesses or people who care about him

“ You have to keep going, son ! Never care about someone who pityes you ! It will always make you weak and helpless ! “ Shouted His Mother

“ T... “

“ Yes nak ! Admitting weakness is easy, but it is painful ! If you keep going that way you won't be able to grow into a strong man ! Others will keep on stepping on you ! Don't mind those who love you ! Sometimes they just want to take advantage of you and make you suffer even more ! “ Said his mother while hugging Energateez

Remembering his mother's words led Energateez to believe that Jubei and Sampson did not care about him and their pity was merely a trick to make him betray Morsdantaque and the Thetoid people

“ Cih ! No ! I'm a coward ?  No ! It was just a cheap trick so I could give up on them ! I'm not a coward ! They are the timid ones, they feel the truest.but in fact they are none other than the hypocritical weaklings ! “ Said Energateez clean hard if they were actually kindness and their actions were just a trick

“ I was so stupid that I even thought of the words of the enemy and the traitor ! “ Sahut Energateez with her upset expression while coming out of the bathroom

Pearly, one of Gretue's elite soldiers accidentally crosses paths with Energateez. While greeting him he asked about the truth about the betrayal of Oxtorood and Sampson. Energateez only answered “iya” and immediately switched their conversation by saying that he was exhausted and wanted to go to sleep immediately

“ Ene ! “ Call Pearly

“ Oh ?! Pearly ! “

“ I overheard the two princes talk about the imperial advisor Oxtoro being a traitor along with Sampson ! Is that true ? “ Asked Pearly with curiosity

“ It... really ! “ Answer is brief

“ Goshaaa ! I really did not expect the imperial advisor to be a traitor ! What is it-“

“ Sorry Pearl.. later we talk yaa~ I'm tired and want to sleep ! “

“ Okeee~ good night buddy ! “

Rough Polly visits Swift Polly's cell. It was seen that the young sister was sitting in contemplation with a glance at her dinner that she had not eaten and she was very unhappy to see the arrival of her eldest sister

“ Hmph ! It's a great honor to see you here again, my brother ! I didn't expect you to come back to see me and act like a normal sister in general ! “ Grunts Swift Polly

“ I heard something shocking when we came back to face El-Fighter ! That's why I'm here to ask you something that you might know something about and have to admit now ! “ Clear Rough Polly

“ I don't understand what you mean ! “ Swift Polly replied with a growl

“ Oke~ then I directly ask to the point ! If you already know..all you have to do is answer honestly honestly ! “

“... “

“ Did you already know of Oxtoroo's treacherous intentions ?! “ Tanya Rough Polly with her serious and flat tone while looking at her sharply
