Chapter 4: Khasalit and the mysterious caped creature

chronoluxia era 446. Sanagrid wall. 2 second Ring of Khasalit.

Scraphunter lookout.

Monitors, cameras watched by hanabaks, it looks like the entire second Ring was watched by those people. There was one or two Hanabak who was walking circules in the building, like a super watch looking at others and keep under many monitors at his watch.

"Hegrid Alatumed, do a daily report"

One Hanabak who is sitting on a large seat. Wearing a military suit, with two medal on it.

He was the captain of the building.

"There was a reactor explosion in the D-3 poor district. It was an ancient coal-nitilium one."

"Isn't that type of reactor is prohibited 50 years ago?"

Asked the captain.

He was suprised, because coal-nitilium is a very highly flammable metal which can't be found anywhere, legally. The factories are stopped making this alloy, by how easily caused explosion both the alloy making and storeing it. When Nitrix generator came in the picture, the making of coal-nilitium and the reactors where stopped.

The nitrix was a crystal mix with Taran'nit. It was much safer when it was it's time.

Nowadays the nitrix reactor and generator which older than 50 years old was as dangerous as fusing a bomb.

It isn't a good sign for Khasalit that the most of their reactors are 75 years old by two days.

"Was there any other thing, Hegrid?"

"The maintance of the powerhouse will be in two days, from now."

"All right, call the rescue and waste hoarder team to the place of the reactor explosion. Heal those who need it."

With this the captain stand up from his chair. Heading toward to the exit of the room.

At one desk where the outside was monitored.

*beep* *beep*

Warning singal can be heard. On the screen, there is a building slowly collapse.

"huh"

The Hanabak zoom in, something cut half the building.

"Outside B-2 Greatlooker Jalimi,

Can you check this for me, I'm at the fourth outlook window."

Sayed the Hanabak at her computer. They call it an outlook window.

The ones whos seemed to walk circles was the greatlooker. When something unusual happen, they are the first one who investigate it.

"What happened, Silukai?"

The greatlooker asked it, it was an unescapable procedure to ask what happened.

"Look Jalimi, it seems someone or something cut in half that building."

"What is unusual with that? "

Jalimi sayed with a bit of annoyment.

"Maybe some scraphunter went too far, or just they need more money."

As Jalimi finished her sentence, another Hanabak came with a freshly printed report.

"What?? Another reactor explosion. Silukai check the coordinate for me"

Silukai check the coordinate of the explosion. The shock was decent, enough to the other saw it.

"What is it Silukai, show me, where was that exploison."

"Jalimi... the explosion is at the building what i showed you."

"Huh? Those scraphunter, what the heck are they doing?!

Silukai investigate what is happening there"

*siren noise*

Jalimi's order was almost interrupted with the outlook warning siren.

"I guess i know what could be happening out there. Silukai keep your eyes on the monitor and report me every little bit. If this really a Hanaless, we need to act. I will go to the captain.

Outside A-1 Greatoutlooker Peritaloppe can you take my place while i report to the captain."

"Sure"

Jalimi after she consult to an another greatoutlooker to take her place to. She goes to the captain's room.

Two corridors after, she was front of the door of the captain's main room.

*knock knock*

"Kralisnev Hensruk Captain, can i come in. I'm Jalimi Greatoutlooker, outside B-2."

"Come in"

Jalimi entered the room. There was the captain, Oni Hanabak Kralisnev Hensruk.

Short hair, in a jetblack color. Two pair of horn on his forehead. One pair is a big and long, the other is small and short, right under the long ones.

"I came to report that we suspect a Hanaless attack on the outside. The area is B-43 F-17. Around 70 km away from the first border of Khasalit, 65 km away from the real borderline of Khasalit.

In the area there are a four membered group of scraphunters.

The type of the Hanaless is yet unknow, When we get new info we will report it.

Captain what is your command?"

The outskirts of Khasalit. Also know the B4 Area.

"Our goal is still on Gallahed, we need to reach the groundfloor as fast as possible"

Hajiki stood up cleaning her cloth from dust.

They are at the floor 48 of the building. The rumbling sound became a common thing in this day of today.

"Can you contact with the others, Gallahed?"

"The tele-communicate is dead, it don't give any input or output. Just a static noise."

"Great. Now we can't contact them, but only with our own voice. But that not very efficient,

especially if they are far away or there is too noisy to be even heard."

The conversation ended with second before the dull sound of an exploison could be heard.

"Hajiki, you heard that?"

"Yeah, i wonder what could explode itself"

The rope what they though was cut by the sliding part of the building, was there.

"Wait, i tough the rope was cut half by the building."

Hajiki grabbed the rope, and look up.

*the sound of the carabiner friction to the rope*

"uggghhwaaa"

*puff*

"Nadilik the rope if safe, you can use it now."

"Okay"

That is a scene. A Llama Hanabak with tiny batwing at his back. Sitting in top of a Scorpion Wolf Hanabak.

They were Reweka and Hajiki.

Reweka stood up, looking around. He find Gallahed. There was a bit strange facial expression on his face.

"What is it, Gallahed?"

Reweka didn't know why his landing was so soft.

Hajiki finally could stand on her feet. She give an angry gaze to Reweka. The familiar sound came again.

*the carabiner friction to the rope*

This time Nadilik comes down the rope.

The victim like last time, was Hajiki. The only difference was, that Nadilik is the one sitting on Hajiki's shoulder.

"Hey, Nadilik can you get off my shoulder?"

"Okay, just don't move so much"

Reweka thought this was an unskipable joke, so he said it.

"Haha, Nadilik you sure would like it, if you were sitting on Gallahed's shoulder. Gallahed would love that to, right Gallahed?."

Both Gallahed and Nadilik was blushed by this comment. The responses aren't that similar to each other.

Gallahed covered his face with his hand. While Nadilik response is.

"Of course i would love that, but this isn't the time for this."

"Na..Na..Nadilik"

Gallahed faint and shy response to his confession. He was all red and only could say Nadilik's name.

The others was a bit suprised too.

Like how Nadilik sayed this isn't the time for little chat. There was someone out of the group who also knowed this, and wanted to remind them what was their goal. To survive him, the Kamaitachi.

It was at the floor 48 just like the group which he count as "his food".

"Guys look, the window."

"Everyone to the floor"

The same horizontal attack from the monster.

In multiple number.

"Don't get up until it's targeting the floor"

Hajiki looked around herself in an arm length for something heavy or edgy to throw.

There was some steel rods.

She grabbed it.

When the Kamaitachi stop the attacks, she immediately stood up and throw the rods.

It hit.

"Gwwwwaaaahhhh"

Right to the eyes. The monster cried in the pain.

"Guys, now. This will occupie it for a while.

We can escape by that time"

The success of the escape wasn't for sure. But Hajiki didn't want to say it. It would hurt the moral of the group.

The Kamaitachi tried to do something about his eyes. This thing is still dangerous. It just losed one eye from the three, it have.

The guys used their last rope to get down 10 more floors down.

They are in the floor 38. Now they are relatively close to their goal. Reach the floor 0.

This floor was more build up. The walls had less hole in them, the stair are finally came back.

"Quickly down to the stairs, as long as the beast isn't coming."

"Wwwhhhhrrryyyyyy"

The monster beastial cry. In the course of his pain. It does a slicing movement with his scythe limbs.

The building was been cut once more.

There was several wind blade, thus there was several little parts of the building which moved independently.

From outside, the rumbling was as loud that it can be heard kilometers away.

But from Nadilik perspective, the was silence.

The time like it stopped itself. The color of the world was lost.

Everything was gray.

There was a quit and cold sound. It came out of blue. It could give shivers to anyone, even if it looked kind and helpful.

"Nadilik, I came here to help you"

"Who are you?"

Nadilik was freaked out. This was unknow territory, she don't know what happening right now or who is that someone who spoked to her.

"Nadilik look around, you and you're friend are in a severe situation. I came here to help you"

Nadilik looked around. She saw that Reweka is laying on the floor, not in a natural pose. A hand sticking around the rumble. Hajiki being cut half by a wind blade.

Nadilik was about to faint by the sheer amount of horror. What this gray freezed time scape show to her.

"What is this?!? ..What?!? ..Why? .....

...

Who are you"

"Someone who can help avoid this horribly future"

"How... how can you do that..?"

A 2m heigh person with all black cloth, and a hood which hide it's face. His hand was only bones, skeletal structures.

"With a contract"
