The End of the World - Story I
Silver Fleet (2)

“Welcome, Hayawan Nation Soldiers,” welcome a young girl who came from the boat bridge.

“Include, my name is Ayasya. I am the temporary captain of this fleet of ships. I came from the same world as Emperor Akbar,” the girl added.

“Really?! Did you come here with him?” arctos asked surprised and happy.

“That's. But he's not here right now. He was doing another job, so he had to leave. That is why I will lead this Silver Fleet as long as he is not here,” Ayasya replied.

“Oh, so apparently,” muttered Arctos a little disappointed.

“But does this mean the forecast has been fulfilled?” ask Arctos back bright.

“Entahlah. I have never met him as long as I am with this Silver Troop,” replied Lupus.

“So, yes. Ah, then where's the Tigris? What about your colleagues in the other Division II? Also Devision VII?” ask Arctos to Lupus.

Hearing the question, Lupus' countenance returned grimly.

“Leader Devision VII, Between the Knight girl is also on this ship. But before that ... come here, there is something you should know,” Lupus told Arctos and the Black Wolf who was with him then took them to one of the cabin rooms of the ship.

In that space, it looks like a ship cabin in general. There is one bed and some other furniture that is common in the ship. But the difference is who is in it.

It was seen a Human girl sitting on the edge of the bed staring at the Tiger girl who was lying peacefully in front of her with her silver feathers that were emitting a glittering light.

“Tigris! Between!” call Arctos when looking into the cabin space it enters.

“Arctos the Bear. How are you doing?” sahut Between.

“I should have asked that. What the fuck is that wound on your stomach? And why is the Tigris lying silent like that? What exactly happened to you?” arctos said in confusion after seeing the situation of the two girls who were before him.

“Calm, Arctos. Sit down and listen to what we are going to tell you. But I hope you're not surprised after hearing it.”

Suddenly Mr. Dirus the Wolf came from behind them, revealing his chaotic condition with his arm missing somewhere.

“Commander Dirus! W-What happened to you?!” the Black Wolf asked, surprised to see the situation of Mr. Dirus who looked terrible with the loss of the right arm. Arctos who saw it also did not escape the shock.

“Many things happened. The battle in the west is very heavy after the arrival of Sodha the Knight Pinandita who carries his powerful weapon,” said Lupus

“Weapons?” ask Arctos.

“Yes. Weapons of time destruction. A giant fireball that if exploded would destroy everything around it. Sodha used it to destroy the cliff forest where Antara's troops are located,” said Mr. Dirus.

“Our team became desperate because of it. Until nightfall, he came to the camp of the remnants of Antara troops and carried out a surprise attack there,” added Lupus.

“I tried to stop him, but I didn't think he would use his magical weapon and hurt me to nothing, ” Antara said. “It was a magic bullet paralyzed knight's blessing. I who was shot did not have the power to hold him.”

“Tigris and I were also shot by the gun. But for us it was just an ordinary bullet, so it didn't have much effect on both of us.” explained Lupus.

“When I fought with Sodha, he re-launched a giant fireball weapon to destroy the remains of our army. And the big explosion again destroyed the field of action. Almost all of our troops died because of it,” said Mr. Dirus with a burning expression of anger.

“Then how can you survive?” ask the Black Wolf.

“Along with the explosion, came a bright silver light energy shining around us. The light emerged from the Tigris which was then covered in silver glitter with its blue eyes that gave off a bright light. The silver light protected us who were near the Tigris. But unfortunately it can not protect all other troops.” clearly Antara.

“And after that explosion, I saw the whole terrain being flattened to the ground. Bodies are everywhere. But I who was still affected by the magical bullet of the knight's blessing could not do anything,” added Antara while shedding tears, considering how terrible what he saw there.

“I who was also still conscious at that time, saw the rise of the terrible silver power of Tigris,” said Lupus while staring at the tiger girl who was being closed in front of him.

“His silver feathers shone brightly, enveloped in scattered grains of silver light. His blue eyes also emitted a dazzling glint. Sodha and all of his troops on the battlefield disappeared instantly after the Tigris glided past them like a flash of light.

Leaving the line of troops in front of him that turned into luminous silver grains and a large crater that gaping the repulsion of his legs,” added Lupus while caressing the silver feathers of his friend.

“So true it's all a result of the silver power of Tigris,” murmured Arctos. “Lantas why Tigris can end up like this?”

“I think it is a result of the side effects of the power he raised,” Ayasya replied. “The age is too young to carry such a deadly force. Especially after issuing an attack that destroyed the terrain and destroyed thousands of troops in one attack. His body tissue was damaged instantly and his brain was traumatized. Her tubes are paralyzed by it.”

“Will he be okay?” ask Arctos worriedly.

“Take it easy. The power of silver not only caused annihilation and destruction, but it also had healing abilities. The Tigris body will naturally make a recovery. He now looks better than when we first found him,” explained Ayasya.

“Thank God then, if Mr. Shimha knew of the state of the Tigris like this, he would definitely kill us,” said Arctos as he glanced at Lupus who also thought the same.

“Indeed how can you find Tigris and others? Then how could the Silver Fleet from the past come back again? And there are many other questions I want to ask about the return of Emperor Akbar,” said Arctos full of question marks.

“You really are a Bear who has a high curiosity. But the stories we should tell when things are better,” Ayasya replied in response to a myriad of questions from Arctos.

“Our fleet can tell the whereabouts of the Tigris and others because the Emperor felt a new resurgence of silver power. He could feel it because Emperor Akbar was the original source of the great power.

After that, the Emperor ordered this Silver Fleet to head towards the source of the new power through the sea lane. We also set out from Songar Island, the territory of King Snob to conduct a mission to observe the silver power.

And that was how we finally reached the western desert of the Greed King region and found the traces of a great battle. That's where we evacuated the Silver Princess and the other survivors.”

“Then where are the other people you evacuated? Is it on another ship?” ask the Black Wolf.

“Nothing. Only the four of us survived the incident,” replied Mr. Dirus with sadness implied in his ferocious look.

“A-what does that mean?” arctos said surprised.

“A-You're kidding aren't you, Commander?” The Black Wolf was no less surprised.

“Indeed that's how it is. Even the enemy is not left. Everything was destroyed into silver details in the former field of action,” said Antara while staring sadly at the Tiger in front of him.

“Lantas how will we report this terrible state on the main Division?” ask the frustrated Black Wolf.

“Tell them that the Silver Fleet will set out for the capital to help them make the assault to the palace,” Ayasya replied.
