Chapter 69 - TALK OF THE TOWN

The night air crackled with tension as Zede and Kohaku faced off against the helicopters of the Savior Society. The rhythmic thumping of the helicopter blades created an ominous soundtrack to the unfolding drama.

 

Kohaku, with his sword drawn, leaped into the air, agile like a shadow. With a swift and precise strike, he cut through the air and the helicopter with remarkable finesse. The fiery trails of the downed helicopter contrasted against the dark canvas of the night.

 

Amidst the chaos, Kylan emerged from the helicopter, his expression a mix of concern and frustration. "Zede, this isn't the way. Come back inside, we can sort things out."

 

Zede stood resolute, his gaze fixed on the remnants of the fallen helicopter. Kohaku, however, intervened. "Zede, you have the freedom to choose your path. I won't stand in the way of your decisions. If your heart lies with your friend, then go."

 

The tension in the air lingered as Zede hesitated, torn between loyalties. Eventually, he made his choice, rejoining the Savior Society. Aayam, the authoritative figure in the helicopter, demanded immediate intel from Zede.

 

Kylan, incredulous at the abrupt turn of events, voiced his frustration. "You're asking him for intel now?"

 

Aayam, with a knowing smirk, informed Kylan that the betrayal was all part of the plan. Zede had played his role to perfection. Zede, however, sat with a brooding silence, facing away from the others in the cockpit.

 

Aayam, undeterred by the tense atmosphere, inquired about the intel Zede had gathered. Zede, still fixated on his own questions, questioned Aayam about the reason behind Isamu Kohaku's punishment.

 

Aayam raised an eyebrow, questioning whether Zede was swayed by Kohaku's perspective. Zede clarified that he sought the truth, unclouded by alliances. The cockpit became a stage for conflicting emotions and unanswered questions.

 

Facing away from Aayam, Zede simmered with anger and curiosity. Kylan, equally disgruntled, directed his frustration toward the other side of the cockpit. "What is the meaning of all this, Aayam?"

 

Aayam, with a nonchalant demeanor, exclaimed, "Kids these days," and decided it was time to return to SSHQ.

 

Left alone in the cockpit, Kylan and Zede demanded answers. Aayam reassured Zede that his questions would be addressed in due time. To Kylan, he explained the necessity for swift decisions during the menacer attack, justifying the intricate play that had unfolded.

 

As Aayam departed, leaving the two disgruntled friends in the helicopter, the night air seemed to echo with the unresolved tensions that lingered between loyalty, betrayal, and the pursuit of truth.
