Chapter 10 - THE MISSING HEART

Suri, heiwa's teammate is their team leader, he walks towards the door of the principals office with his spatial key already infused with celestial aura and opens a portal 3 days away from their location, suri uses force field manipulation, he can change the size and shape of his force field into anything he likes.

He stretches forth his hand and created a force field, bending it into the shape of a jet.

"Alright let's step into the jet"

Heiwa and her teammates steps into the jet and are ready for take-off

"Wait" the principal yelled out to them worriedly

"Don't underestimate the enemy no matter what. Make sure you work together. Work in duo's if separated is that understood?". They all nodded in response and took off.

Few hours into the journey

Suri looked at heiwa and noticed the worried expression on her face.

"Don't worry, we'll find Riku, I'm sure he wouldn't just die like that, he's a smart and strong Dude" Suri said to pacify Heiwa.

"You're absolutely right, he's a brave knight from a splendid knight clan" she replied.

Reina, heiwa's teammate who's also a female and is trained to be a knight alongside Riku. Reina and Riku grew up together in the same village and trained under thesame knight.

she didn't really look bothered about Riku being held hostage, she just stood there with her arms crossed.

"Riku won't die"

Heiwa and suri stared at her with a surprised expression on their face. Renzo on the other hand, who is also their teammate disagrees "Don't go jumping into conclusion. Saying he's alive is just underestimating the enemy, which is exactly what the principal said we shouldn't do"

Reina had always known renzo for speaking garbage out of his mouth, so what he said didn't bother her one bit. Heiwa on the other hand is triggered by the bitter words that came out of renzo's mouth she faces him with words "nothing good ever comes out of your mouth renzo, so just keep your rotten words to yourself. I know riku is alive, we just have to save him from whatever torture he's going through, so if you don't feel like saving him, you can jump out of this force field jet and forfeit the mission". Renzo doesn't care about what she said. " I've said what I can say, I'm not suri that'll keep feeding your delusions. Plus I wouldn't be here if I didn't wanna get my grades up" Renzo said nonchalantly.

This statement provokes heiwa, causing her to tighten her fist. Reina looked below at heiwa's tightened fist,

" heiwa, get a hold of yourself" Reina said while loosing heiwa's tightened fist " Don't you ever wonder why nobody ever listens to this jerk?" Reina pacifies Heiwa which made her release her tightened fist "why would renzo utter such bitter words about his own teammate" heiwa asked. Reina turned around, staring at renzo as she replied "Renzo doesn't care what anyone feels or thinks about him, his parents trained him with an iron fist. They showed less love and affection with more discipline. Renzo believes more in hard work than in hope, he doesn't care what happens to him in battle ground and believes that the weak deserved to perish one way or the other. Riku was his best friend. Renzo took the school's entrance exam three times, and on the third which was the last, he met riku. Him and Riku started relating and conversing and from then, riku never Did anything without renzo. When renzo's Down or runs away from home because of his parents brutality, the first place he goes to is Riku's apartment. Riku always welcome's him with open arms and is always there to console him and brighten up his mood. If renzo's heart was being stabbed it would mean riku being stabbed, if renzo's heart was taken away from him it would mean riku was taken away, if renzo's hope is lost it would mean riku is dead. And right now, renzo's heart was taken away, he's cold and even his purple flames can't warm him up. He's alone, nobody ever pays attention to him whether he's making sense or not.

Riku didn't treat him that way, he always listens to renzo. And even if what renzo says doesn't make sense, Riku would correct him with love. If renzo is right, Riku would embrace it". Renzo's story made heiwa feel bad " I..I didn't know he was going through a lot" she said with a guilty tone.

" same, until Riku told me. Sometimes I actually listen to renzo when he's not being stupid or nonchalant. So you just gotta ignore every discouraging word he says on this trip" Reina replied.

Heiwa walked towards renzo and said

"Don't worry, Riku will be back safe and sound, i promise you". Renzo didnt know what to say, the only words that came out of his mouth were "get lost, I don't need your stupid promises, let's just get this mission over with" he said while walking pass heiwa to where Suri stood. Heiwa doesn't seem bothered anymore. "How long untill we arrive at our destination?" Renzo asked suri. " well the principal did say 3 days away but with this jet, we'll make it in the next 18 hours" said

suri. Renzo is impatient but even he doesn't have a faster way of getting there so he just takes his seat and waits.

Reina noticed something, ' how come suri hasnt ran out of celestial aura yet' Reina muttered to herself. She stood up from her seat and walked towards suri and asked "how long can you keep this force field jet ?" Suri said he could keep it up for as long as he wants. Suri had to master aura management and control because of his ability type. He knows how to store more than enough aura in his body for as long as he wants. Flying a jet created by his force field is just a tip of the iceberg of what he can do.

14 hours later…

Night had already fallen and Reina and Renzo are already asleep, heiwa had already slept and is currently awake, she looks forward, towards suri and she is surprised as she asked,

"you're not gonna rest?"

Suri looked at her with the eye bags under his eyes "nope, if I sleep we'll crash, Don't worry about me, I still have a lot of strength to get us to our destination, maybe I'll rest when I get there". Heiwa doesn't object. She walks towards her seat. While walking towards her seat she realized suri hasn't eaten anything. She rushes to her bag and scouts for the chicken katsu sando her sister had packed for her, It was wrapped with aluminum foil. When she found it, she took it to suri "here, atleast eat something to replenish your strength" heiwa said, giving him the chicken katsu sando.

"But it's your food, Don't worry about me, I'm fine" suri refuses

"I insist" heiwa was persistent. Suri took the chicken katsu sando from her and unwrapped the aluminum foil that covered it. He takes his first bite "mmm, this is soo good" he said while enjoying the meal. " I'm glad you like it, I'll go back to my seat. If you need more, just tell me", she heads back to her seat.

Few hours later they had arrived "you guys we've arrived" suri said as he landed the jet, reina stepped out of the jet, she scouted the area and noticed there were just few buildings and people around

" yeah we've arrived at wrong location", said reina. They had all stepped out of the jet and Suri deactivated his force field jet.

" suri check the tracker, see if we're on track" heiwa said.

Suri turned on the tracker and they all followed him on foot. They got to a particular destination where the tracker had pointed the location of Riku, but Riku wasn't there.

"I don't understand, this is where he's supposed to be?" Suri said confusingly.

"Suri we're in the middle of no where" heiwa said. They all started contemplating. While they were contemplating, renzo noticed a device covered in dust on the floor, he picked it up and walked towards his teammates "you guys, we're in the right place" renzo said while showing them the tiny device he found on the floor. Heina quickly recognizes the device

"that's Riku's tracker!!!!"heina quickly notified Them.

" but if that's riku's tracker, then where is Riku!!!" Heiwa said

"Good question, because I can't sense a single aura from here….guys, I don't think Riku is alive" suri said in disbelief.
