There is a secret
Something, barely anyone in this planet knew
Something, that could completely rewrite the entire human history
Something, that I know
"Choice of drink?" Alan handed me a cup as the three of us sat in his office. "I prefer coffee." I let out a smirk. "Fuck you, have some tea." He poured some green tea out of a teapot and some for Yui. I place the cup aside; this bitch knew I hate tea. While Yui sat beside me, sipping gently on her cup. She had been like this since we return, I needed someone to help me explain all this shit…
"You are, Alan, right?" When I am still thinking my next chess move, Yui opened her mouth and asked. "Mph." Alan nodded, he is still enjoying his cup of tea which is his cup of tea, hell yeah that rhymes badly. "You knew, Zeo before?" She asked out. "She is your girlfriend?" Alan slurp down his tea and asked. "Yes…" I stare at Yui, she literally ignored me. "A bit."
"These are confusing times, girl." Alan poured more tea into his cup as he spoke. "What that I told you may be shocking, and need some time to consume, but it is the truth alright?" He place the tea close to his lips and he gently blew it while staring at Yui. Yui nodded, determine to know the truth, Alan took a sip, before starting a tale. A tale, only some knew.
In the year 2030
Ten years ago
Two beings, crushed into Earth in a midst of a fight
And earth, became their warzone, their arena, their ring of fight and death
One of them is Yang, and another, is Ying.
Two godly beings, fighting over different opinion. One is the protector of life; another is he symbol of death. Two couldn't stand each other, and this war, this war needed to be done. And soon, the world military forces joined the fight. But after ten years shrouding in the battle dust, we are still no match, as Yang, was killed. But his legacy never dies, his body turns into a special type of oar, material, spreading across the entire world. And drifting into the body of chosen ones.
The Oslum Metal
Scientist had theory that normal human beings didn't even use half of what their mind is capable of. Not because of physical problem, because that the bond between the human mind, and its physical form is far too feeble. The Oslum Metal, mends the cracks between spiritual and physical, linking the two into one, creating a perfect being.
The five admiral who were aiding Yang all along the battle were smeared by this material, and with its help, they are able to defeat, and seal Ying in the other side of the world. But when we are about to drew in the final blow and end this monster, with his final effort, he released sealed himself in an impenetrable force field, swearing for revenge, once he recovered.
After the battle, the government forced all of them to undergo inhuman experience, just to create their own batch of super soldiers like them. The constant pain and torture causes him to revolt and fight back, and he almost took down the entire Global Government all on his own, his rampage was only to be stopped by his former friend, Alan. Whom settled down on some terms and agreements to protect the rest. Since the five admirals were split apart, each going into different journeys experiencing life in a different way.
The government then seal the truth behind the disaster of 2030 and claimed it as a meteor strike. They too, tried to cover over existence the Oslum Metal. But it was discovered nevertheless, since that out of no reason, it started to appear out of nowhere around the world, which led to the new age of Adventurers.
"So, Zeo is actually a Hero?" After hearing the simplified version of the story, Yui questioned. "Yes" I nodded. "I was, once. Listen I am really sorry." I grab her by her arm and apologized, trying to be as sincere as possible. "I had no idea how many time I lied and apologized to you, but I had no choice, Yui. I-I just wanted you to be safe, I afraid you will leave me once you know the truth." I stare at the steaming cup of tea as I spoke, avoiding eye contact, I am just a scum, a liar, using her weakness and kindness so that I could keep her by my side. I am selfish, so selfish…
"I am sorry…" I couldn't hold it anymore as I grabbed her and hugged. Three years, for three years we stayed with each other. I shouldn't lie, I shouldn't… "It's alright." She patted me by the back of my head. "I am happy right now." She let out a light chuckle. "I am happy that you let me know the truth, Zeo… I don't care who you are, who you once was. You are Zeo, my Zeo, and you will always be…" She whispered in my ears. Our hugs tighten, I could feel she whimpering as we felt each other's heartbeat. This would've be a perfect moment, if not…
"Erhm" Alan cleared his throat, trying to get our attention before shit went off course. "Zeo, I had something that I needed to inform you." He asked, hinting about something governmental that Yui shouldn't know. "You can hug, kiss and have sex later on. I had a job to do." "Yeah, right." I pushed Yui softly away as the two of us blushed furiously. Almost forgot his existence to be honest. "Sure."
"Start moving these things!" The man with a silly moustache shouted as he stood on top of a box, with a loudspeaker in one hand and a roll of paper in another. "Move those items! The boxes! Get the fuck out of the path! The EXPO is due the day after tomorrow and y'all are still slacking! Move your legs!!" The crowd moved, decorating the stages, setting up the stalls, get ready for the grand big day. The television broadcasted news regarding the incident, but none of them seem interested about it. They are on the clock, there ain't no time for that shit, all of them passed by, but only one of them stop.
The girl stare at the television, her grasp suddenly softens as the items in her hand scattered onto the ground. Slowly, she adjusted her round glasses and approached it until her face was just centimetres away from the screen. She touches it softly as she let out a gasp. "Zeo" She smiled softly, but before she could do anything, the man approached him and slaps her head with the paper in his hand. "Hizuki!" He yelled right at her face and into her ears. "You are dragging the team down! Pick up the items, you want to say goodbye to your salary?"
"I-I am sorry!" She immediately get back to work. But her heart was still tied onto the news. Zeo… He is still alive? Will I ever meet him again? How is he doing? But all these questions were drowned by the yelling of that annoying man, she had no idea but to stop thinking about him right now.
