A few moments earlier
Fian pov
We were already at the mansion, anxiously waiting for Falco and Adzima. Because I was driving right behind Falco's car, I and my friends in my car witnessed when Falco's car exploded and flung into the valley.
Anjas:"Do you think they survived that fall?"
Fian:"Falco already answered us, I don't know if they are 'fine' but at least they survived"
We then heard the sound of a train arriving, and Falco, who was carrying Adzima on his back, finally returned to the mansion.
We approached them quickly and noticed Adzima unconscious on Falco's back. Her head is bleeding, but it doesn't seem to be severe. Falco then asked us for help and slowly gave Adzima to the girls.
Falco:"Please help her girls. As you can see, her head is bleeding and her legs fractured a little when we fell"
The girls nodded, then they carried Adzima slowly to her room. Meanwhile, we immediately asked about Falco's condition.
Fian:"What about you, captain?"
Falco:"I'm fine, but I need to rest"
We nodded and let Falco go to his room to rest.
Not long after Falco returned to his room, the girls came out, after they finished treating Adzima, to tell us that she is alright. After hearing that, we can finally breathe a sigh of relief. We also decided to take a rest, but Falco came back to the garage not long after. We approached him immediately.
Dwiyan:"I thought you said you needed to rest, captain?"
Falco:"I did, it's enough"
Qori:"What? But it's hardly even an hour"
Falco:"Like I said, it's enough"
Ina:"Adzima will definitely scold you if she is awake"
Falco:"I don't mind, she is pretty cute when she is like that"
We were all surprised after hearing him say that, but then all of us smiled.
Falco then pressed something on the garage's hologram console, and the car that he was driving before it fell into the valley appeared in the garage. The car's condition was highly concerning; the body was dented, and some parts were even wrecked, even the wheels had fallen off and were destroyed.
Aditya:"How did you even survive that?"
Falco:"If I have to say, pure luck"
Falco then repaired his car using small robots in the garage, and even though we didn't really understand, we still tried to help him. Soon after, Adzima, who had regained consciousness, rushed to the garage and immediately hugged Falco's back.
Adzima pov
We used a jet to find the next person. When we reached the sky of a city, we saw the Soul Devourers swarming and attacking someone or something. We also saw green lights knocking away the Soul Devourers. When we came closer to the Soul Devourers, we noticed that they were fighting a man who was dressed in green and wearing a domino mask. A green glow covered that man's body, seeming to help him fly.
We noticed that the green light has the ability to transform into many things that he used to fight the Soul Devourers. The green light was emitted by a ring around the man's finger. Falco then tried to lock the Soul Devourers, but they were too close to the man.
Falco:"This is bad, if I shot those Soul Devourers, that guy would definitely get hit as well"
I then heard the voices of Fian and the others calling Falco from the back.
Fian:"Can you open the back door, captain?"
I then went to the back to see what they were doing. I discovered them standing and getting ready by the back door.
I quickly understood their plan, and I am also preparing myself near them. Falco alerted us as he opened the back door.
Falco:"Be careful, guys"
We all jumped as soon as the door fully opened. Those who can fly directly use their ability to fly, while those of us who can't fly use birds drawn by Aditya, and some use Ina's invisible platform. With our abilities, we all quickly aided the man in green in fighting the Soul Devourers, while Falco shot the Soul Devourers from his jet.
We were so careless after defeating all of the Soul Devourers that we didn't realise there was a single Soul Devourer left. The Soul Devourer then shot at the bird I was riding until it was destroyed, sending me free-falling from the skies. After defeating the last Soul Devourer, the others dive down to chase me. But, despite how fast they dove, I still fell faster than them. Falco then also jumped off the jet, but he dove towards Aditya and Fian instead. They both quickly grabbed Falco, and Falco used them both as boosters to dive faster.
This was an immense success since Falco was finally able to catch me and hug me before I hit the ground. We are embracing each other more tightly since we are getting closer to the ground. Fortunately, we fell into a deep river, so we weren't greatly injured. After swimming to the riverside, we breathe a sigh of relief because we are alive. I then giggled a little.
Adzima:"Why do I always fall like this?"
Falco:"At least you didn't fall alone"
Falco:"Well, the first one is my fault though"
My giggle turned into a laugh, and then I thanked him.
Adzima:"I told you I don't really mind the first one, and thank you for saving me in the second one"
Falco:"You are welcome, princess"
I sneezed since the air around me was quite cold and my clothes were wet from falling into the river. When Falco saw this, he immediately hugged me without saying anything. His body was warm, and I could feel my own body gradually warming up. I returned his hug tightly, leaning my head on his shoulder and shutting my eyes, because I felt so comfortable with him.
Fian:"Thank goodness you both are okay"
After hearing Fian's voice, I opened my eyes and saw the others smirking at me. I also saw the man dressed in green had removed his domino mask, smirking at me, and it turned out he was Septian. Falco and I let go of our hug, and we approached them.
Adzima:"Hi Septian"
Septian:"Hi Adzima, and you too, Falco"
Septian:"The other has already told me, and I will gladly join you"
Falco and I smiled at him, then he shook his hand, welcoming him.
Falco:"Welcome to the team, Septian"
Septian:"Thank you, captain"
Not long after, I saw Falco's jet landing near us. Falco then asked Septian something as we went to the jet.
Falco:"Before we go back to the mansion, Septian, do you know what happened to Hal? He is the guardian of this sector, right?"
Septian:"I also want to know that we lost contact on Hal a few months ago, and when I came here, this planet was already in chaos"
Falco became silent after he heard that, but he kept on walking to the jet and we flew back to the mansion.
