1 Chapter 1: The Resident of The Tube

Dim night light flooded Gaeasia especially in an area called Halgera. A city that has been destroyed and only the remains of building debris where the creature named Human used to live. It appears some small mammals began to upset and hide behind the ruins of the building except for four rats.

"Mama, what is that?" Said one little mouse to his mother. The mother wrinkles her forehead and squints at the movement of a distance. The rat mother is shocked and immediately orders her children to hide.

A male fox from the type of red fox ran into the city of Halgera, behind him appeared several Hyenas of the Spotted Hyena type along running. Apparently the fox was being chased by a pack of brown-colored animals huddled behind him. The fox's breath, which was still relatively young, howled with its speed. His instinct suddenly said that he had to look up. Shortly after he turned his head, the fox immediately jumped to the side. A fraction of a second after his jump was made, the ground where he had been on was shattered and made a very loud crash as if a large object had fallen on him. The situation became silent as the fox set its breath and looked towards its side which was now covered in dust and smoke. The Hyenas were speechless, but they grinned and some of them chuckled. A large figure began to appear as dust and smoke began to disappear. The fox growled as he looked at the large figure of the Hyena who has different eye colors. Unlike normal Hyena eye color, this creature has blue eye color on the left and yellow on the right.

"Tch .. H.C (Eitsee)" Muttered the fox.

The unique-eyed hyena grinned and told the fox that it was useless to run. The hyena then lifted one of her front legs and then quickly dropped it to the ground. A loud bang could be heard along with the ground that destroyed by his foot. The strength of the impact is extraordinary and could not be done by ordinary Hyenas. The other Hyenas cheered triumphantly.

"You better give up and come with us calmly, you won't be hurt." Said one of them.

"Just try it!" Challenge the fox with a determined look. Suddenly when he blinked, the large hyena that he called H.C had vanished from his sight. His instincts once more clinked and made him avoid the jaws of his opponent who attacked from above by jumping backwards. A bang resounded and dust soared into the sky. Before the fox had stepped on the ground, a different-colored Hyena shot out from behind dust and smoke, lunging straight at him. The fox's eyes widened in surprise, especially when the Hyena's snout hit his stomach. He bounced and fell dragged to the ground. Pain began to spread to all parts of his body, but the fox did not give up and began to return to his feet.

"It's no use fighting, I won't win." Think the fox. He then took a deep breath and lowered his head. "I surrend ..." he said quietly. But before he could finish his words, the big bodied Hyena grabbed one of his front legs. The fox screamed as his body lifted and hung in the Hyena's mouth. "You ... you promised !!" Cried the fox.

"I never promised. Even if it yes. I changed my mind. You will die here. Heh heh heh heh "The hyena answered slowly and irregularly because his jaw was clenched.

"B ... boss ... don't we have to bring him alive?" Asked one of the hyenas in the back, but the hyena shuddered when he saw the leader of the large and different colored eyes staring at him sharply.

The big hyena growled and said that no one could command him and he followed the stupid mission out of boredom. The fox hanging in his jaw let out a loud scream while raising his own body. As fast as possible the fox immediately bent its body and kicked the hyena's lower jaw. He screamed because his actions automatically made the Hyena's jaws clenched harder and caused one of its front legs to crumble. The big hyena widened her eyes and then moved her head, flung the fox far ahead. The very young fox stood and forced himself to run even with bloody feet.

"WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR, STUPID ???" Screamed the big Hyena, ordering the other Hyenas to chase after the fox. The Hyenas flinched at the capitol and frantically ran after it.

The fox was breathing heavily with a limp front foot, running as fast as possible until he saw an old building. The building looked sturdy even though it had been eaten by time, the door was tightly closed and very high. The walls are mossy and the top of the building looks like a giant dome. Not many buildings in Halgera are still standing intact like that building. The fox entered the open gate fence with various vines that surrounded it. He looked back and saw Hyenas approaching. The fox looked right and left looking for anything that could help him escape, even though he was actually not sure what he was looking for. His gaze stopped at an open door at the end of the yard, the door was on the ground and pointed into the underground.

There was no time to think long, the fox ran and entered through the door. Enter the dark ground and go down the stairs. He arrived in an alley with dim lights from the lights hanging above him. He was pensive because it was the first time he saw a lighted object glow in the dark besides fire and fireflies. The fox turned back to hear footsteps coming down the stairs and began to come closer to him. He ran as hard as possible down the hall, but it was useless because soon the Hyenas caught up with him.

"It's no use for you to run, you fool!" Said one of the Hyenas.

The fox turned and balanced his body. His out of breath, but not with his spirit. A Hyena lunged at him, but his speed was the standard speed of Hyena as well as his leap. The fox lowered his head and when the Hyena was right above him, he pounced on his neck with a strong jaw and slammed it. It is actually impossible for a normal fox to slam a Hyena, but because it uses the speed of the Hyena's lunge itself, the slam can be done. The hyena was shocked and unable to move, her body fell silent on her back and her legs were on top. The other hyenas were daunted by the incident.

"A ... attack him together. If we fail, our lives will all be lost !! " Exclaimed the other Hyenas. They lunged in unison and made the fox desperate. Facing just one is troublesome, let alone several Hyenas at once. One Hyena catches her right front leg with a jaw, another Hyena catches her front left foot. As he tried to escape, the other Hyenas again pounced on his neck. They then dragged the fox while still being bitten. They ran quickly forward and intend to make the fox's body a living shield to hit the wall that might be in front of them later.

The fox screamed and struggled to try to escape, but what he later got was a heavy blow on his back. His eyes widened as blood splattered from his mouth. The hyenas had slammed into a closed door. The impact made the door open and revealed the figure of the room behind it. The Hyenas blinked at what was in the room and without realizing it, the grip of their jaws loosened and released the poor fox. The Hyenas walked past and even stepped on it, they approached a giant tube-shaped foreign object with a hose and large cables stuck in the vicinity.

The fox glanced, the blood flowing in his head shortened and blurred. The Hyenas stared in confusion as something floated inside the giant, water-filled canister. The fox moved his body, trying to run away despite having to drag his legs. A good opportunity when the Hyenas were caught off guard, but the chance vanished when the colored Hyena stood in front of the door. Looked at him with cruel eyes as if he looked at the garbage that must be destroyed immediately. The Hyena's gaze turned to its troubled troops looking at the giant canister.

"I'll take care of you later." He muttered and stepped over the fox towards the direction of his army.

"What are you fussing, you idiot ?!" He exclaimed.

"This is boss, there is a strange animal in here." Said one of the Hyenas.

"Similar like a cub but smaller" he continued, tapping the tube.

"That's a cat."Answered Hyena with different colored eyes. He muttered, saying that cats are very rare animals outside Harvara. "Cats shouldn't be in the water, why could this creature be here. Is he still alive or not? "

"Are we taking it too, boss?" Asked one of the hyenas.

"No, but maybe I need snacks during my trip." Replied the big-bodied hyena who then plunged her front right paw into a glass tube.

A loud boom rang out and make the whole room tremble, but the tube did not break. The Hyenas who were there were stunned by the scene, including a large-bodied Hyena who had a different eye color who was the leader of the Hyena. There had never been an object that was not destroyed by his impact, the incident made him furious and forced him to exert more energy.

"GROAAAAAHHH !!!!!!" He scream and with a single blow, the giant glass jar broke, followed by a loud bang. The water flowed like a waterfall that spilled from a high place. The Hyenas step aside as soon as possible to avoid the brunt of the water. They approached and noticed a standard-sized cat from a domestic cat breed. The cat is a male, white while the long tail has a ring pattern that is grayish brown. Its fur is short and although it is in a tube filled with water, the cat looks dry.

"Hmm, it's been a long time since I ate fresh meat, rare animal meat." Said the leader of Hyena who issued her tongue to lick the side of her mouth that was drooping. Suddenly there was a loud voice, a sound they had never heard. The sound of sirens echoing in the room. When they were all confused, smoke billowed from the sides of the tube, the hoses and cables that were attached began to break away as if it had a life. Smoke and fog began to envelop the room, water sprayed suddenly from several points above the ceiling. Hyenas began to fear except their leader.

"WHAT IS THIS??!!" Scream the Hyena's leader.

"Who are you guys?"

Suddenly a voice came out of nowhere. The Hyena's leader turned to his troops and asked where the sound was coming from. The Hyenas looked at each other and then shook their heads, they did not hear any sound.

"What makes you come and make a ruckus here?"

The voice reappeared and the big hyena realized that the voice came from inside his own head. He looked at the smoke-covered tube and saw a small figure standing there. The figure began to approach and jump down the tube. The figure is none other than a cat who had been there.

The fox who had been trying to escape had been stunned by what had happened. He rubbed his eyes to remove the blood and dirt that was blocking his view. Faint but surely he saw the cat walking while closing its eyes.

The big bodied hyena chuckled at seeing her snacks still breathing and alive. He said that living animals taste more delicious than carcasses. The hyena then grinned and ordered her troops to surround the cat. Realizing how fast cat ability to run, the Hyena did not want to lose its prey.

"What are you going to do?"

Once more a voice was heard in the head of the Hyena, he immediately ordered the Hyenas to pounce on the cat. They collided with each other and hit each other, but what they were trying to catch was not there. It turned out that the cat jumped very high, doing a somersault 360 degrees back and perched back on the tube that had broken glass.

"CURSES!!! Don't joke with me, puny creature !! " Shrieked the leader of the Hyena and immediately charged at high speed. The cat, still with his eyes closed, jumped to avoid the jaw of the Hyena who was suddenly nearby. Because of the quick movements of the Hyena, even before the cat began to fall from its leap, he had already raised his head and was ready to attack again. Like the slow motion for the cat still floating in the air, the hyena's open jaw began to approach its body. Unexpectedly by that big bodied Hyena, the cat moved its front right foot. the cat struck the Hyena's face and knocked it aside and landed hard on the floor. The Hyenas were stunned to see that, the fox was no exception. How is it possible for a cat to throw a Hyena with just one hit, let alone that Hyena is H.C.

"No ... there's no way ... I ... H.C could bounced ..." The hyena mumbled, who got up and then shook her head, trying to shake off the dizziness from the impact earlier. His face seemed to be hit by a very hard stone. "Impossible!!! Unless you are also ... HAH ?? !!! " The hyena was shocked as if she could not believe what she was seeing. The other Hyenas also shudder to see the same thing as what their leader sees.

The cat floated, the cat did not return to the bottom of the tube after jumping earlier. It is as if someone is carrying her or tying a rope to the left and right its front legs. One of the Hyenas considered him a ghost, a spirit that came out of the body of a dead animal and did not go to Argus. Hyenas started to get scared and ran for cover behind their leader, while the floating cat slowly approached them.

"I ... I don't believe in ghosts !!" The Hyena leader yelled as he jumped to pounce on the cat once more. Suddenly his movement stopped, his body was silent and unable to move while his position is still in the air. He also flew and not only him, the other Hyenas are also floated. They are all lifted from where they stand.

"Y ... you ... who are you ?? !!!" Said the leader of the Hyenas stuttering. Sweat flowed from his face, his eyes began to glare as he heard the sound of joint movements in his body. "W ... what's this ??? !!" he shrieked. Then he heard his troops begin to moan in pain. Sounds of cracking and scraping like a rotten wood that is bent and twisted. "He ... stop it ... I beg ... ahk ... stop ... " The Hyena's Leader begging when he felt what was happening was the act of the cat in front of him.

The floating cat began to approach it. The hyena looked at him with eyes of a different color, the typical eye of an H.C. The cat who still closed his eyes placed his right front foot on the nose of the Hyena leader.

"Sorry, but I don't intend to be anyone's food. I never slept, but you guys will wake him up soon. I don't like it when someone bothers him. " The cat spoke and this time it spoke through its mouth. "Because of that, you all must die before you can bother him again" The cat continued.

"Who ... who is he that you mean ?? !! GUAAAAA !!!!!! " Hyena's Leader screaming as he felt a number of bones in his body were broken and crushed. A scream that was not less loud was also heard from his troops. They are truly tormented between life and death. Slowly but surely, the cat began to open its eyes. Showing him two different colored eyes, but not like the leader of the Hyena. Hyena's eye color is different in the two Sclera [1] but not with the iris [2].

The hyena stared intently at the cat's eyes in front of him. The left iris of the cat is light yellow with a thin red membrane surrounding the pupil, while the right iris is blue also with a thin red membrane surrounding the pupil.

"You ... what kind of H.C are you? !! ARGHHH !!!!! " Screamed the Hyena as his body twisted and its joints were all cut off. His neck twisted up to 180 degrees and his body seemed to be squeezed by an invisible giant hand. Likewise with all the Hyenas there. Screams and moans of terrible pain became the last sound coming out of their mouths, before finally a stream of blood flowed from there. Their bodies all fell to the ground, making a small bang like a pile of worthless meat. The cat slowly descended and began to tread the ground. He turned toward the door of the room and realized there were still other animals living there. The colored cat with different eyes walked slowly toward the fox. The fox's body near the door began to lift, floating into the air.

"He ... hey wait, I'm not your enemy ... I'm not the same as them ... I'm not part of them ... argh !!!" The fox cried, which began to feel the joints in its body twitching. He looked at the cat with horror, especially after seeing the torture march with the Hyenas earlier.

"Arghh ... aaaaaaaahhhhhhkkkk ..." He moaned, sweat began to wet his face and his tongue began to stick out. He felt suffocated and all the organs in his body felt like they were about to explode. Suddenly the cat flinched and began to stagger.

"Oh, damn ..." said the cat.

The fox's body fell to the ground and he began to writhe in pain, but slowly he realized that his joints were no longer in collide, his organs began to feel normal and he could breathe normally. He saw the cat walking closer and then placed a front leg on its sweaty head.

"I have no choice but to leave it to you, take good care of him. If you can't take care of him, I will make sure you and the whole world are pay a great dissaster. " After saying the sentence, the cat fell on its back and fell asleep, while the fox, his vision began to blur and he then fainted.

Note :

[1] The part of the eye that covers the iris [2]. If in humans, Sclera is the part of the eye that is white.[2] The part of the eye that covers the pupils. In animals such as cats, the iris looks like fine lines around the pupil.

Argus is the World of the death.
