Chapter 2 - Temple of Justice and Injustice

we arrived safely in South Kuta as Sir Mahesa said. I saw around this city only military forces and cops in street, except them they are in inside. Mam Yuko ask a cop where we can see Sir Mahesa. He told Mam Yuko and we drive to his base

"Oh hi darlinggg, honey, and Kain!!"

He hugged us, Kirana was crying and hugged his father

"Now now..you already save Kirana. Father with you.. "

Kirana nodded and try to keep her calm.

"Kian Can you wait in outside with Kirana? I want to talk with Yuko. "

I nodded, go outside, and sat in guest room. I'm curious what Sir Mahesa and Mam Yuko were talking. I try to eavesdrop them what are they talk about

---inside Mahesa's room---

Mahesa : "..., darling it seems we need your help.."

Yuko : " it's okay.., but it already long enough to handle my guns in secret force. .. is it really urgent? "

Mahesa : " Are you know last night earthquake around here? A unknown temple appear in middle of Udayana. it had ancient style and carving of an unknown creatures around it and what you and kids saw was one of them and...we want to make secret expedition force with another country to enter inside of that temple. "

Yuko : "Are you join the expedition? When we go? "

Mahesa : "yes I ll join with you. ., around..2 days, we have time to evacuate kids to outside of this place. how about send kids to your mom?

Yuko : "Yes.., it may be the best for kids, I ll talk to mom. wait I ll try to contact her.. "

I heard Mam Yuko footsteps close to door. immediately I went back to sofa in guest room and think about that temple. I scared to meet that's fish again, but... in other hand I want to know what's inside of that temple.

Mam Yuko saw us and tell us

"Kian Kirana you know it isn't safe in here...how about you all stay in Kirana' s Grandma house in Japan until the condition safe enough and...about your parents Kian I ll let them know where you are and about the condition in here. "

"Mom and father will be with us right? " Kirana said to Mam Yuko with worried.

"No, Honey I m sorry...,

mom and father will stay here. we have job to do and protect people in here..and I ll tell you if it's done. "

Kirana hug her mom and Mam Yuko hug her bag and smile.

"I ll inform grandma Aya and prepare your stuff. and... I m sorry I can't see your departure. Mahesa's subordinate will be accompany you all..."

I saw her face change to sad and she left guest room immediately. I don't hear anything in 2 minutes and then I heard Mam Yuko was talking in phone, but I can't understand what's she talks because she was talking in Japanese.

I want to talk with Kirana about what I heard too, but I think it isn't good for it because she was crying and know maybe she will never face her parents again after it. What I can do..just to accompany her and rub her hair while she was crying.

--- Next Day ----

it's 2.56 a. m. Our departure in Ngurah Rai will be in 4 a. m. and the last airport operating in Bali. As Mam Yuko said we are accompanied by Sir Mahesa's subordinate to go Airport. His name is Sir Adam.

"Sorry Kirana we can't accompanied you. Take care..."

Sir Mahesa and Mam Yuko hug Kirana. I waited them from behind. I hope it isn't last time I saw them too.

"Mom Father take care! Please notified me if you done your work. "

"We will !! take care you two. "

Kirana left them with smile and she watched them from rearview mirror in car. While drive Sir Adam talk to us with smile.

"Don't worry Miss. I knew Sir Mahesa and Mrs. Mahesa will finish it quickly"

"I hope so, they will do their duty quickly.."

She replied with smile and look window, but I knew Kirana can't hide her emotion.

I saw in rearview only us in this road, but.. suddenly car stopped.

"Sir What's.. "

"sssttt... look over there"

we saw four legs creature. come out from sea and move at our way. it height around 13 meters, it likes prehistoric creature, with big claws, it have blue ocean scales around it skin, big red eyes and have sharp jaws. it have gills around it necks.

it moved towards our road and it see us. it looked closer to us I can see it big red eyes in front of me. I try to calm myself and not to move. we were waiting and suddenly... Sir Adam's phone ringing and immediately he shoot it eyes several times. it roaring and step back from car

We immediately left from car and run as far as we can to avoid it. I heard it crush our car several times and I don't dare to look back of it. we hide behind building around it. what I hope it didn't chase us and focus at our car only. We were waiting several minutes until it calms down. We heard it moved far from us. Sir Adam looked his phone, silent it, reload his gun, and typing in his phone, then he told us.

"Guys if you still bring your phone silent it now and sorry..I think your departure will be canceled..now it's 3.40. I already inform your parents and others to quickly save people around it first and rescue you. And..now you stay here and wait for reinforcement. I ll look closer and ensure it already far from us. "

he left us behind. We were waiting and it awkward to us stay silent. So I decided to talk first

"hm.. Kira"

" Ki.. "

"*chuckles* You can start first Kirana."

"No no you can start first."

She ready to hear me to talk.

"I don't expect our homeland become mess like this. "

"Yeah...it feel we still eat together before, btw I still curious about you..why are you always put gloomy face? is it because your parents almost never go home? "

" Ah really? I never notice it..yeah.. maybe you right I miss them in home, but..since your parents invite me to eat and sometimes stay in here and they permit me to use guest room. ., I start to not feel alone."

I look back at Kirana. She smiled

"Then after it end, you must often come to our house and start to put some smile in your face. it looks ugly to see you that gloomy.."

She look at me with serious face.

"pfftt.. "

"what?? what's so funny??!!" she startled and annoyed

"Your face now just like Sir Mahesa when mad at me.. hahaha.. "

"NO WAY!! My face familiar with my mom NOT like my dad.. DAMNT IT!! "

"HAHAHAHA.... "

"STOP IT YOU MORROOONNN... "

I smiled, it long time I never laugh like this with anyone.

"Hahaha... okay okay stop right now..well why are you bring in your big bag? I saw when we want to go airport you always cling on it. "

" Ah..mom said it emergency bag. we can use it. I thought it will be emergency supplies for us. Mind to see? "

I nodded and Kirana open it. These are handguns, ammunition, first aid, mineral waters, snacks.

"About guns it seems one for me and one for you. "

Kirana handed me a gun

"And..it seems how to use it.. "

Kirana fill up ammunition and give it to me.

"How can you do that?? "

" Last night I ask my mom how to use it, since we know what we face, then exercise to shoot. here let me show you again and how to shoot it."

Kirana show me how to you use handgun and how to shoot it. I didn't expect she learned so fast and her aim already good.

it already 2 hour, Sir Adam or reinforcements didn't come to us, then suddenly.. we heard something near us. its like lion growling. We agreed to silent and holding our guns. We saw a large shadow in wall it shape like lion.. it appear beside us and lay down in front of us, but it still not notice us yet..

it body and posture just like lion, with dark blue skin black spotted, around 2 meters, but it didn't have eyes. fur colour it's black. and what we shocked it holding a.. Flesh Human Arm!!? and I notice, it's Sir Adam arm because I looked in his right arm he wear a black digital watch and it eat it !! it make us tremble to look at it and we were walking quietly to avoid and to go road it passing by. I think we success to avoid it until we heard..

"GRRR...."

It growling, It chase us and we start to run as fast as we can.. HOW CAN A BLIND CREATURE KNOW US AND CHASE US WELL!!

"HELPPP!!! "

Kirana shouted

Suddenly a arms drag us to side a building and we turned around. What a relied it's Sir Adam, but he lost his right hand and he wrap his wound with his co op uniform.

"*sigh* what a relief I heard your voice.. it didn't notice us if we stay at behind sunlight, I lost my arm when I tried to run for it.. and I think.. it's my lucky.., back then it front of me but it seems confuse to search me although I just 1 meter in front of it. and.. it back with bring my right arms for snack..."

he looked pale. Kirana offer first aid to him and help him to bandage his wound.

"thank you.., well we need move to out of it first.., I already receive informations.. this city already attacked lion like monster we face before.. and I already tell other about it weakness.. about reinforcement it said they will come around 5 minutes and wait us in near beach. "

we were walking behind sunlight to go near beach and waiting in here. a few minutes later, military cars come to us. Sir Adam tell them what's happen to us, then one of them call to ask some reinforcement to rescue citizens in here.

One of army talked to us

"Okay i ll drive you..come with me. "

we sat at back seat and he drove us back to Udayana. I was looking at sea then..i heard a voice..

"save.. me.., come.. "

I startled and ask everyone...

"Are you hear something?

Army officer : " No. "

Sir Adam : "I just hear sea wave around it. "

Kirana : "no I don't please don't scare me! "

is it only imagination? but.. it more clear than before..

"save me from this.. chaos.."

when I looked back at front. I saw prehistoric monster we face before coming to us with rage. I noticed it because one of it eyes close and blooded. unconsciously army officer panic and he didn't notice he drove us to sea with high speed.

I shouted

"SIRRR STOP!!! STOPP THE CAR!! "

he tried to stop it, but...

"IT CAN'T, I CAN'T STOPP! "

The car drowned at sea, we tried to out from car. We can release but.. I felt I can't move my body and drowned deep more into deep sea. Kirana and others tried to help me, but... suddenly Sir Adam and army officer drag Kirana to surface. Kirana tried to release for them but they force Kirana to go surface. I don't know why they do that I feel I left behind and turn around my head into deep sea why Sir Adam and that army officer look at me with scared and hurriedly drag Kirana. But I surprised too when I saw two big blue eyes stare at me, big shadow, but I can't tell what is it look like, it opened it mouth and I sucked into it mouth..

"hmm..??, I still alive?? "

I opened my eyes.. and shocked

"Where.. am I?? "

I am in a room with greek style and blue light around it.., I stand up and saw an ancient tablet in middle of room. I tried to think what is written in here and what language it use. and.. I think it's upside down alphabet and I read it

"" Find a justice from injustices and you will find your way out from here in the temple of justice and injustice ""

after I read it. that tabled give off a very blinding light and I can't see anything...
