The Arkana: The Demon Hunters
Plan

Leaning on a trembesi tree, Manta sat waiting for Hittah and Mayang who were preparing to go home this afternoon.

This afternoon while he was taking care of a visitor who performed acupuncture in the practice room, Manta found two envelopes on the Mahari table. The name on each envelope is Hitta and Mayang. It seemed like Mahari had prepared everything before leaving.

As soon as Mayang and Hitta moved through the door. The handsome man got up from his seat and approached the two girls.

Seeing Manta walking over, Mayang immediately misbehaved and stared at the window glass. He wanted his appearance to not fall apart before the man's eyes.

"Udah beautiful really, taste really Manta anyway," ledek Hitta accompanied by a small oddity.

Mayang nudged Hitta. "Ih, what the hell are you."

"Yang," call Manta to look at Mayang.

"W-what, Yang?" reply Mayang nervous. "Eh, that means, Ta. Sorry, not focused."

Hitta couldn't stand it. His smile broke into a burst of annoying laughter for Mayang. However, in the middle of his laughter, Manta suddenly thrust two envelopes at them so that Hitta's laughter slowly dissipated.

"What is this, Ta?" ask Hitta. He took the envelope and looked at her in confusion.

"Mas Mahari has business out of town. He's been off for a while when Tantra closes first. Here's your pay this month. In a time that can not be determined, we have a holiday first" said Manta.

"Cock suddenly?" ask Hittah again. "Is there a problem?"

Manta shrugged his shoulders in response to Hittas question. The girl could only sigh, but she understood the situation as the girl knew of Tantra's other work.

"OK, later if it's safe to be news, Ta." Hitta continued her steps back.

"OK," answered Manta briefly.

Hittah's steps stopped again. He looks. "Come on, May's home."

On the other hand Mayang looks worried looking towards Manta. Since the events of the demon puppet show that terrorized him, Mayang also became aware of Tantra's side job as a demon hunter.

"It's okay to say yes, Ta" Mayang said.

Darmanta nodded. "okay."

"During the holidays, can we meet?" ask the girl.

Manta nodded. "Can."

Mayang scratched his head with a clumsy face. "Because you're busy, I'm afraid to bother you. Therefore, if you have free time and want to meet—you say yes."

"OK," answered Manta briefly.

Mayang smiled faintly, then turned around and walked after Hitta. Gradually the smile on his face blossomed.

Hittah chuckled while embracing Mayang. "It could be your trick to walk! Modal dikit dong, you who ngajak no times!"

Mayang tried to release the embrace of Hitta with a red face color. "What the hell!"

When the two girls disappear from Manta's sight, it is the man's turn to enter the house.

...****************...

The moon again shows its dominance over the sky. In the dim middle of the day, there was a knock on the door in Tantra.

Quickly the door was opened by Manta and showed a figure of Bowo who looked tired with sweat pouring out in front of the door.

"Mandi lu's. Abis bathed in the living room" said Manta.

"Huh?" bowo responded with a breath of breath, trying to digest Manta's speech.

"Dengerin Manta, Wo," said Yasa who was sitting playing rubik on the sofa. "Lately he's been carrying."

Bowo is arguing. He walked to his room without a response. However, Manta and Yasa were still waiting for him.

Half an hour passed. Bowo came and sat leaning against the wall near the reception desk.

"Why?" ask Bowo.

"Hitta same Mayang will not come here for a while. So, at least we can arrange a plan to survive," said Manta. "Yudha, Karna, Dursasana, and spirit control. One of them is already taking drugs. Not to mention we don't know how big the enemy's fighting force is, how many more people are hiding behind the darkness."

"Every day from the time they got here, the cave always layered Tantra using protection spells and renewing trap spells. Not going to the barin cave they easily enter without a fight anymore" replied Yasa.

The man's left hand looks better considering the damage is not as severe as the right.

"The cave must have been before the bastards came, the right hand of the cave was ready to teach them," said Bowo. "During the recovery, the cave will be more intense to train the power of the same left hand foot cave."

"Lu?" ask Yasa to Manta.

"There's someone who might be able to help the cave develop cave sword techniques." Manta gave me three fingers. "In three days from tomorrow, the cave doesn't live here. If their attack comes sooner than it should, please hold out until the cave returns."

"Amit-amit if the incident happened, but if it really happened, most of the time you turned all over has been sorted out," replied Bowo. "Not going to the cave they call Yasa. We're all he's got. Not really, Cil?"

"Sotoy you're bald!" Yasa smiled. "But thanks."

"Cave connections are the same association has also begun to form. From tomorrow we move each for a common purpose" Bowo said. He extended his left hand. "For Tantra."

Manta and Yasa exchanged glances, then threw a smile and welcomed Bowo's hand forming a pattern of hompimpa alaihim gambreng.

"TANTRA!" bowo exclaimed with excitement.

"Hoi," replied Yasa limp and Manta without saying.

...****************...

The next day, just like Mahari, Manta disappears from Tantric radar without being sniffed. The man only carried one bag of block and a Bengisura sword.

Meanwhile, Yasa began to strengthen Tantric astral defenses by sticking paper-clad pegs inscribed with mantra verses. He also attached the papers to each side and corner of the Tantra, both inside and outside the building.

At the same time, Bowo was running from Tantra to Ratnakusuma. This morning his eyes were so sharp and focused. While running, he occasionally stopped and did combos of boxing composed of jab, cross, and hook using his left hand.

About thirty minutes into the journey, Bowo finally arrived at Ratnakusuma. He immediately cleaned himself up, then faced Captain Bima. It's just ....

"The captain again is not in Jogja," said Anik.

"Oh, okay," Bowo replied. "When to turn right?"

Anik. "The intensity of the disturbance of evil spirits increased rapidly in many areas of Central Java and was forced to make the Ratnakusuma movement spread. The commander and three captains were forced to move to help the area whose disturbance was already extreme like yesterday in Surakarta."

"Who else is there?" ask Bowo again.

"We're the same as Santi. Even the two members of the first division moved in with their Captain."

"Thank you for the infographic." Bowo rushed to find Santi in his room.

Tok .. tok .

"Come in" said Santi from behind the door.

Bowo opened the door, then entered the minimalist room where Santi worked. The small room did not reflect the room of a person with the highest rank in a place as big and as good as Ratnakusuma.

"Now do you know the position of mbak, Wo?"

Bowo only chuckled while scratching his head. "I'm sorry it's been a little disrespectful, ma'am."

Santi smiling. "The usual kayak. I'm young too, not married."

"Oh, okay, mbak."

"Why, Wo?" ask Santi.

Bowo stood before him. "I think the behavior of evil spirits over the past few days is too strange. They tend to be more active and aggressive especially outside of Jogja, mbak."

"So what do you think is normal behavior?" ask Santi.

"Somehow, it feels as if nature is hinting that something is coming. Exactly Tsunami. A moment seemed calm, but suddenly with one move all bulldozed out."

Santi frowned. "Next."

"Their movements seemed to have been governed by a stronger existence. The figure that deliberately spread the Commander and the Captain Ratnakusuma out of Jogja, weakening the inner region" continued Bowo.

"Why do you think so? Any reason?" ask Santi again.

"For what they seek is here." Bowo stared intently at the woman. He brought his face closer. "Yasa Kanigara."
