Chapter 52: If only I were Stronger
'WHAT?! HARASA?!' Kartika is shocked by knowing that Alfi finally decided to use Harasa, the holy weapon number 12.
'What is it, Kartika? What is Harasa?' The agitated Varz asked.
'There are 5 holy weapons that hard to use. The holy weapon number 3: Duy-duy, this one requires one's painful sorrow. Alfi can use this one because of his painful past. The holy weapon number 6: Tipit, this one requires one's pure love. Alfi can use this one because of his compassion towards Megumi. The holy weapon number 9: Pelidi, this one requires one's intelligence. Alfi can use this one because he is sharp enough. The holy weapon number 10: Pukan, this one requires one's soul of rebellion. Alfi can use this one because he is an asshole. And...'
'The holy weapon number 12: Harasa,' Herman said.
'These ones require one's hope and despair. Great hope and sorrowful despair.' Koji said.
'It is impossible for anyone to have them at once, as they are contradictive.' Rian added.
'And if he fails to fulfill it, then...'
They are shocked by hearing what will happen to Alfi if he fails using it.
Alfi screams aloud, and a pair of eerie black wings come out from his back. The wings are big and they look like a set of black sharp iron. It whips piercing those Chorobot that they are destroyed.
'AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!' He screams aloud.
His face is turning black and his eye color changes like when he used the full power of Pukan. They emit black irons to Alfi that he now looks like he is wearing dark armor.
'Asa, the wing of void.' Kartika said.
'That wing, did he manage to master it?' Varz asked.
'You can say that, but not perfectly. Harasa is a pair of wings consist of Hara, the wing of salvation, and Asa, the wing of the void. Alfi managed to manifest Asa which means he has the sorrowful despair.' Kartika explained.
'Will he be okay?!' Herman exclaimed.
'I'm not sure. He didn't tell me what would happen to him if he managed to manifest only one of them.' Kartika is getting anxious even more
They spread to the white-cloaked guy, yet he manages to evade them even though his cloak got torn from it.
'Interesting, let's see if you can make a scratch on me, Your Highness.' He provoked Alfi.
'AAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!' He screams aloud.
Alfi has really lost his consciousness. He is not under Pukan control, but he is under his own despair control. Regret, anger, disappointment, hesitation, anything that makes his life so useless. Everything unites taking control of his body. Alfi spreads his wings to the white-cloaked guy. He jumps over it to evade those wings who look like 2 vicious snakes trying to gobble him. Alfi then appears and sends a kick to the guy, yet he manages to dodge it. Those wings are maneuvering to him. He jumps on them and suddenly Alfi appears before his very eye and kicks him directly smashing the sand.
Koji and Rian rush to him for a surprise attack, yet suddenly he appears before their very eyes grabbing their face really strong. White Iru comes out from his hand entering their faces.
'Kill the Alfa!' He exclaimed letting them go.
Their gazes are empty. They turned around getting their weapons ready. Both of them give the trio an empty gaze and rush toward them.
Varz encounter Rian, and Herman encounter Koji. Both of Varz' swords and Rian's blades are clashing to each other, while Herman and Koji shooting fire to each other.
'Rian! Snap out of it already!' Varz exclaimed.
'Koji! Stop it already!' Herman exclaimed.
'Koji! Rian! Please stop!' Kartika exclaimed.
Koji and Rian don't listen to them at all.
'Wreck them all!' The white-cloaked guy exclaimed.
They are under his control.
Alfi advances to him and attacks him with his wings at high speed. He tries to evade them even though his cloaked is getting torn apart.
Rian dismantles Varz's swords and thrusts him with his thunder blades. Varz is getting struck and tumbles unconscious. Koji swings his great sword emitting blazing fire to Herman burning him alive. The duo advances to Kartika. Kartika summons Cakra, and he blocks their blows with his fists. The sting and heat he feels are painful that he lets out his hands. Those blades pierce Kartika's body. Her stunned face in terror remains like that for good. Alfi who sees that goes rampaging and whips Koji and Rian with his wings. He approaches her whose eyes are wide opened. He carries her while just roaring, yet in his heart, the part that is remained untouched by his despair, he screamed hysterically.
"WHAT HAVE I DONE?!!!!" He screamed in his mind.
Alfi who is under his own despair control drops tears from his eyes. His friends' bodies are starting to erode. His despair is getting worse as he sees them eroding.
"What do you want in this world?" Alfi hears a voice.
"I don't know." He answered.
"Do you have hope?"
"I don't know."
"I know you do."
"..."
"It's staying alive with them, right?
"..."
"Do you want to make it come true? I'll help you then."
"Please, help me."
"All right, but just this once. You have to figure it out by yourself next time."
"Understood."
The right wing of his is glowing white and turning into a big white fluffy wing. It envelopes Kartika, Herman, and Varz's bodies. It lets it go, and they seem to be fine. The trio opens their eyes and they are surprised seeing Alfi having a black wing on his left and a white wing on his right.
'The wing of the void, Asa, and the wing of salvation, Hara. Alfi... You did it.' Kartika bursts to tears
Alfi smiles at her and nods.
'Yeah, sorry for worrying you guys.' He said. 'I'm sorry, but leave them to me.' He added.
'But Alfi, I-'
Alfi pats her shoulders and says, 'I appreciate it, but I don't want to see you getting hurt more than this. It's because you are really precious to me.'
'Promise us to stay alive.' Varz said.
'Get him, Alfi.' Herman said.
'Be careful, Alfa.' Kartika smiles at him.
Alfi smiles and advances to three of them.
Alfi spreads Hara and envelopes Koji and Rian. He lets them go, yet nothing happens.
'As I thought.' He said.
'It won't do.' He said. 'You have to kill me if you want the effect wears off.'
'Then.' Alfi spreads Asa to him.
Koji appears blocking it with his blazing greatsword. Rian advances to Alfi with thunder cloaks him in. Alfi envelopes himself with Hara nullifying Rian's power. Asa sends Rian flying and Hara envelopes him. Asa sends Koji flying and Hara envelopes him. The white-cloaked guy advances to Alfi, but Asa gets in his way. He summons his Iru saber and swings it against Asa, yet it doesn't leave a scratch on it. He then jumps and smashes Hara that it lets Koji and Rian go.
Koji and Rian feel a great pain on their heads. They are now in between the consciousness and unconsciousness. The effect is still on their head. Asa soars blocking him to get any closer. The pain on their heads are getting painful even more, and they swiftly stab to each other' bodies with their blades.
'UWAHH!!!!!' They screamed in pain.
'Alfi! Kill us!' Koji exclaimed.
'What?! Don't! Buy me some time. I'll save you guys no matter what!' Alfi exclaimed.
'We beg you! If we stay alive, we'll end up becoming his puppet! We'd rather be killed by you instead of staying alive to kill you!' Rian exclaimed.
'But...' Alfi is getting agitated.
White Iru comes out from their bodies. They pull their blades out, yet they try their best to hold them.
'KILL US, ALFI!' They both exclaimed.
Alfi draws Loplipop from his bracelet and advances to both of them. He plays his MP3 and Loplipop are glowing. Those rings descend from the sky stacking on them. Tears can be seen falling from his eyes.
'TEMAN SELAMANYA! (Forever Friends)' Alfi smashes those rings with the 2 Loplipops destroying both of their bodies.
Alfi doesn't see them anymore. He just killed them. Alfi drops and starts crying. He remembers the memories with them. The time they met for the first time, the time they hung out, and the time they wrote together. It's all just mere memories. Alfi will never be able to see them anymore. The white-cloaked guy approached him.
'How does it feel like? Killing your own friends.' He mocks Alfi.
'Shut the fuck up!' He exclaimed.
The wing of Hara and the Wing of Asa collapse and suddenly black and white Iru are gushing out from his body. He cries aloud with tears rolling from his eyes. Both of the Iru unify into an eerie black and white giant. It whips the white-cloaked guy with his hand sending him flying into the sea. It rampages and destroys everything it sees while roaring. Kartika then rushes to him no matter what would happen to her. It sends her flying, but she gets up quickly and rushes to him. She jumps and swiftly hugs him.
'SNAP OUT OF IT ALFI!!!' She screamed.
It vanishes out of the blue. Kartika finds him crying.
'I... I...' He sobbed.
'It's enough, Alfi! Enough.' She sobbed. 'Enough with you sacrificing yourself for us.'
Alfi hugs her thighly.
'I'm sorry! It's all my fault for being a weakling!' He sobbed. 'I'm sorry, I am supposed to protect all of you, right? But, I... I killed the ones I have to protect!' His tears wet her dress.
Kartika touches his cheeks gently, and says, 'It's not your fault. Please stop blaming yourself already.'
'It is.'
'It isn't.'
'If only I were stronger, I-'
She kisses his lips gently out of the blue. She then lets it go.
'Kartika...' Alfi is surprised.
He sees her blushing with tears rolling to her cheeks.
'I know you are doing this because you are lost, right? When I asked you to protect this world, you said yes without even consider the risk. Will anyone take the offer that may endanger themselves?'
'I...'
'Protecting the world isn't a simple task. That's why we are here for you. And you must have another reason why you want to protect this world, right?'
'I just want to stay alive with you guys. That's why I want to protect this world.'
Varz and Herman appear before his very eye and smile at him.
Kartika hugs him tightly and says, 'I also want to always be with you.'
Alfi drops his tears and hugs her.
'Thank you.'
'You are strong, and we know ir.'
'Thank you.'
Suddenly, something like white saber pierces his body from behind.
'Bad timing, eh?' The white-cloaked guy said.
He pulls it out and strangles Alfi. He throws Alfi to the back, Alfi sees 6 figures in polka dot cloaks in various base colors. All of them are wielding Iru swords corresponding with their colors. They are torturing Alfi by slashing and stabbing his body consecutively.
Meanwhile, a horde of Chorobot ambush Kartika, Herman, and Varz. They are cornered as those Chorobot are getting stronger that they can't even defeat one of them.
When Alfi feels barely breathe and his vision getting blurry, and all of them are going to finish him, suddenly Delu-delu appears shoving all of them with a shock wave. A tiny fang can be seen fly through passing those Chorobot and destroying them as it crosses them.
'Who-'
He knocks Alfi's head with his cane. White Iru circle appear on the ground and they descend to the circle. Kartika and the others are late to save him.
'ALFI!!!' Kartika screamed.
