"I understand what you feel right now. Who wouldn't be pissed seeing your own sister being put on so much stress that it's breaking her down?"

His eyes all in seriousness and trying to keep all his calm inside of himself. The soft morning breeze flowed through our clothes, as the sky became gloomier than ever.

"..But we are in the military. We are in this mission, and Stella, volunteered herself for this mission. And you as well. You must endure the sacrifices. A mission will always be a mission. If you can't, then go home." I said seriously that made him stood well.

"I just don't want to think Xavierheld is using my sister to regain power—"

*RINGGGG!!*

Tristan's mumbles were interrupted as both of our phones rang for some weird reasons at the same time. I immediately flipped my phone only to find out a simple text message containing a series of coordinates and random dots.

Tristan then looked at me very seriously. Our eyes met and knew what exactly those things were.

"An eerie hacked transmission message from an unknown source."

"It seemed to be sent intentionally for both military parties. EAF and Xavierheld." He presumed.

Our heated argument immediately vanished as I could feel goosebumps starting to crawl over my arm. This is getting weirder each day.

Conference Hall 765

Xavierheld Honolulu Base

Matthew's Point of View

"Everything alright?"

I greeted as I opened the door of the private conference hall where my sight was greeted by Admiral Maris who seriously looked onto me.

Without any hesitations, I immediately gave her salute, trying to cover up my ass that forgotten that she was the Admiral of Xavierheld.

"Come, sit with us." She commanded as I rushed through the group who were forming a circle onto Tristan that was quite busy doing some coding onto a crystal tablet.

From far right, there was Von who obviously was not really paying attention. His eyes looked too tired and drained while looking at Stella who was seated beside Tristan.

For some reason, I felt a strange glancing onto him. As if his eyes were keeping some sort of secret while staring onto Stella.

Weirdo.

The ambiance of the room was so intense as the sound of fast keyboard typing was the only thing heard inside. Dang this feeling.

Then suddenly—

"What is it, Tristan?" Captain Hagalaz asked.

*TACK*

The sound of the last key Tristan pressed onto the keyboard was heard.

Everybody paid attention onto the screen when it suddenly turned black. Nothing was seen.

"What happened?" Maris all curious.

"We wait." Tristan replied all serious. All of the team members were serious. For some reason, I am starting to feel all anxious about this.

Faint screeches suddenly were heard followed by a heavy deep breathing that made everyone in the room felt uncomfortable.

The whole conference room started to feel much colder as the eerie voice started to dictate what it seems like a rhyming poem.

I felt harsh goosebumps all over my body as it started to speak the said poem in a low depressive tone.
