2024-10-29 19:42:56The blades whirled, loud mechanical sound almost turned Yvo's ear deaf. His mind was preoccupied as they travel in midair. The words of the Prime were still fresh in his memory. His heart rejoiced upon hearing the order. The long moment of revelation came.
The Chancellor knew about their destination, from a far, the house approaced his sight. It was nearly unseen because of the camouflage but his surveillance glasses spotted the building that he was looking for.
"Sir Yvo, we are here!" The pilot shouted.
The chancellor just nodded. The black matte chopper lowered itself for landing. Yvo's feet were too excited to get down, the news that he was carrying doesn't deserve to be held off.
Finally, the pilot stick the landing, the engine was killed and the trees calmed themselves down. Yvo immediately followed the silence, he opened the door.
The chancellor knew about the plan step by step. With poise yet great grace, he moved on. Both feet were now held steady towards the ground. His eyes met the house that he specially built for Neo Kizer.
Almost no motion could be seen from his surroundings, his steps were silent yet Ace was aware of their arrival, another chopper arrived. From the inside of the house, the young man couldn't hardly move. He was almost paralyzed by the bullet. His heart raced, his instincts assured that Sydon was back with a larger army. At this situation, he was no longer sure if he can defend Neo.
With tensed muscle, Ace crawled down from the soft cushioned sofa bed. His feet does not know how to cooperate in this type of situation. It was hard to move, but his main concern was Neo. The baby doesn't seem to cry like what it did during Sydon's arrival.
As Ace crawl from his believed danger, the artificial intelligence of the house started to operate the system, the whole lights in the ceiling glowed blue for the second time. It made Ace even more furious of getting to Neo. His arms were nearly bruised but he did not mind. The crib of the neonate was about to be reached by his foster dad, but a masculine voice began to order the AI.
From the outside, Yvo spoke. "ID code 119324."
His voice was new to Ace's hearing, but he was still unsettled with the belief of safety. He crawled even more faster, but this time, his strength was all gone. Even if he tried to move, he couldn't. Groans could be heard even from Yvo's position.
"Welcome Chancellor Yvo Reixagon." The house welcomed him formally.
The door opened widely, the AI recognized its builder. From the inside, Yvo's first agenda was to look for Ace. He plays an important role, and the unfortunate man must know the truth.
His eyes searched well, and it did not fail. Drops of blood from Ace's wound led a trail. Yvo knew of where he was. The trail was added by a loud groan of pain. For a second there, he assumed that Ace was not perfectly fit.
Yvo wasted no second, he followed the blood and found Ace, the weak and lying almost paralyzed Ace. Yvo immediately acted up, using his wrist watch, he called for a medical team.
"Injured man inside the vicinity, requesting for a team."
Ace heard Yvo's voice for the second time. He couldn't turn around to face him so from his position, he spoke.
"What do you need? Are you here to kill me like Sydon?"
Yvo sensed anger in his voice, he wasn't aware of Sydon's visit in this place. He thought that he hid the place well and that no one except Ace will find it.
"No, I'm here to help you." Yvo replied in a heroic aura.
But Ace remained unconvinced, to him, no official can help. They abandoned the Hemians to someone who was cruel. He just snorted in discompliance.
"You're just like the others, playing hero but in the end you'll only abandon those who trusted you." Ace's mind was made up, he won't let himself fall from what Yvo can offer him.
As the two converse, a group of medical assessors came in. Despite Ace's strong dislike to Yvo, the team still went to treat him. Everyone moved like a professional, they lifted Ace up on the stretcher. He was too paralyzed to object.
The team carried him directly unto a room, they knew the floor plan well. The doctor quickly prepared the equipments to be used during the surgery. With just a single glance, he diagnosed a tesla gunshot.
"Prepare the anesthesia." He ordered the nurse.
The male nurse followed his order with no questions asked. Everyone in the crew was aware of how important the man in front of them was. They can't let the tesla bullet stay long inside Ace's flesh. Carefully, he plunged the syringe in Ace's leg.
Ace wasn't able to feel anything even before the injection, he was already numb. The doctor immediately acted upon the surgery. Incisors were ready to cut and remove the bullet. The medical team's touch were delicate, the doctor started the incision. The whole wound was already overworked and turning violet.
After cutting through Ace's skin, he took the bullet out using a long nosed surgical scissor. The operation was successful. The bullet's sound echoed as it was thrown to the nearest metal trash bin. Ace was now safe.
During the whole thing, the young man did not bother to move or argue. He knew how much he needed their help this time. Pride almost stopped him, but he chose what's more important.
He just stared at everyone as they move and role out their own jobs. Ace thought that it was already over but it wasn't yet. The doctor did not bother to close his wound, he just moved away, letting another nurse stand by his side.
Ace was still paralyzed, all he could do was just stare at him while filling the syringe full. Everything started to become suspicious, he was still uncertain about trusting random men. There, he refused.
"What's that? Don't you dare inject that to my bloodstream."
The doctor did not heed his warning, instead, he just nodded to let the nurse continue. The blue elixir was ready. Ace couldn't do anything, from the nurse's standing point, he injected the syringe, emptying the whole tube of health formula.
In an instant, Ace's wound healed and he no longer found himself paralyzed. But as his body start to become more lively, Yvo took the course to continue. From the glass door opening, he spoke.
"You're coming with me."

"No," Ace refuted. The facts from Yvo's mouth was of no use. The chancellor yet failed again. A short stare stopped Yvo from replying, he was analyzing the looks of Ace's face, hoping to get just a single hint of what he was feeling. But he found nothing, the man was great with pretense. "Very well then," Yvo said. "I won't force you to believe or trust the Prime." Yvo backed away slowly, his time was running low and the high tower was waiting for him.

Yvo paused for a few seconds, "then meet the Prime's army outside the borderlines." The directions were clear yet a bit vague to Ace's perspective. 'Can't they just pick us up?' He asked himself.Ace do has his point. Reluctance reflected on his expression. Yvo immediately responded to his unspoken query."Matters will be explained fully open your arrival."

"I understand Sir Warren, but remember that we'll see Claire very soon." Neo found the right words to uplift Warren's nearly broken spirit. A faint smile recognized the very same hope Warren held unto before. The Prime's son was indeed wise. Warren patted Neo's head, and replied. "Yes, very soon..." Despite the intriguing scene, Pier and Ace was still unsatisfied with what they heard, they were expecting more than that. The two voyagers almost forgot their tiredness, but their rumbling tummies reminded them. Ace heard the loud grunch of Pier's stomach. His friend hasn't yet eaten for a day, and the doctor experienced the same fate. "There's food inside the kitchen," Ace said. It relieved Pier, and even Warren's senses sharpened. They both stood up to eat, thus leaving Ace with Neo again. The whole living room was empty and silent, and only the beeping sound of the systems confronted Ace. He stayed with a plain stare dragged to the toddler. Neo looked busy on the other hand, his

"Pier, wake up." Ace continued to shake Pier's shoulders. He could no longer bear it, he needs to confirm or just either have someone to talk to. Ace hoped that he was just dreaming or maybe just under the severe influence of drug which Yvo injected him. Finally, Pier got snapped back from his sleep. He slowly opened his eyes from the beaming light flashing against the ceiling. The aflutter face of Ace popped in through his sight. "What's the commotion about?" Pier asked.Before Ace could even answer, Neo ran straight towards their direction, whooshing like an airplane. Pier immediately furrowed his eyebrows. He did not remember leaving Ace with a new kid to take care of. Pier immediately asked to confirm, "Who's that?" They caught each others gazes, none of the two can grasp for the answer. But the same conclusion arose from Pier, his eyes went down to Neo's wrist. "The tag..." Pier whispered beneath his breath but Ace heard it.His eyes did not move away from the toddler. Ever
