SApagkakaalala ko, tumalsik kaming lahat dahil sa pagsabog. Ang sakitng katawan ko. Hindi ko 'to maigalaw. Nakahiga ako ngayon samalamig na sahig at pinipilit kong bumangon. Argh!Ican't help it.H-help!F*ck!Hindi ako makagalaw nang maayos. I can't feel my own two legs.!

And then, I gentlyopened my eyes at hindi ako makapaniwala sa nakita ko. "T-tetsuya?!"

I saw Tetsuya rightin front of me like he was covering me from something. Then, a liquidsubstance started to drop on my face all of a sudden- Is this blood?

Just then, Irealized that Tetsuya's bleeding. Half of his face is covered withblood.

"J-just st-staystill. . . Dave." Nanghihina niyang tugon. Before I can reachhis body, sunod sunod na pagsabog at mga serye nang pagputok ng barilang aking narinig mula sa 'di kalayuan.

"W-what'shappening? Nasaan sila Craige?" Nag-aalala kong tanong.He answered me with silence. Tetsuya couldn't answer. I can hearhim gasping, I can sense his presence weaken, it seems that hisremaining strength is fading. No!

Tinulak ko siyaupang mapalayo siya mula sa pwesto namin at walang hirap naman siyangtumumba. I looked around and found myself in shock.

Craige, Ate Crystal,Mr. Seigmundo, Toby, Ryn are holding their respective weapons. Thesame goes with Legion, Shin, PO1 Polocarpio, Leonardo, Margaux. Theyare teaming up against a group of men and women wearing a blackattire. Is this even real?

F*ck! Aren'tthey the Celestial Mafia?

Wait. Sa kabilangside naman ay duguang nakaupo sina Iris at Nzib. Mysterium Clava andLegion are teaming up against the mafia.

"Argh!Ang dami nila!" Sigaw ni Policarpio. He was holding two handguns.

"We need toprevent any serious clash! Distance yourselves!" Malakas nasigaw ni Mr. Seigmundo habang hawak ang isang mahabang shotgun. Sabawat pagkalabit niya dito ay sakto ang diretso sa mga ulo nangkalaban. Bullseye.

Mysterium Clava andThe Legion kept on backing off. Where are they planning to go?

I looked around andtried to deduce it. Tama, ayon sa pagkakaalala ko ay may malapit nagubat dito kaya malamang ay doon nila balak magtago upang lituhin angmga mafia.

I dragged Tetsuyainto a corner in where I believe that he will be safe. I have to goto the forest. I need to outwit them and plan a trap. When, I wasabout to leave I felt Tetsuya's hand gripped me by my arm.

"T-tetsu?"He shook his head as a sign that he is not allowing me to leave. Ican see in his wounded face the pain and agony that he going through.

He is sacrificinghis own life to protect mine. I know that this is risky Tetsuya but,I need to do this for the sake of Mysterium Clava, for the sake ofeveryone. Pilit kong hinila ang braso ko mula sa kanya at mabilis natumakbo papunta sa gubat.

Bago pa ako makalayoay nakarinig ako nang isang malakas na ugong nang makina. Then, Ilooked up in the sky and- F*ck! Arethose some technological aircraft droids? And there were two of it.Bigla na lang ito naglaglag nang isang round, silver object mula sakalangitan. And when it landed the ground, sumabog ito.

The object explodedand it almost pulverized the entire mafia. Its so devastating.Devastating but coool! Of course, those were Nzib and Iris' lil'toys. And I can see the smirk of success on their crazy lips.

Everyone is fightingat their very best to annihilate the mafia at hindi ko dapat sayanginang sakripisyo nila. I immediately ran all the way to the middle ofthe woods.

I will fight themafia in my own way. . .

-

ISTILLcan't feel my legs as I walk in the middle of the forest. But, I needto keep on going.
