Team Alpha

Chapter 52

'Hybrid02'

Third Person's Point of View

Xin just stared at Jun and Joshua's lifeless body lying on the ground. The memories of the two struck her mind like a truck. How Joshua treated her as his own beloved sister. How Jun treated her as a Queen every day of her life. How both of them would smile every time she sees them. Their laughs, their jokes and their presence.

How they both protected her since day-one up until today. How they both risked their lives so they could save hers. And how they died, just for her.

"Looks like Hybrid1 wants to join us." Natatawang sabi ng mga studyante sa labas ng shield. Xin just balled her fists when she heard Miu's laugh along with the team. Lumuhod siya sa harap nina Jun at Joshua at tiningnan ang dalawa. "Stop mourning over dead useless souls, Xin." Miu taunted her from outside the shield. Dahan-dahan nang tumayo si Xin at humarap lang si Storm sa kanya tsaka may kinuha sa bulsa nito.

Storm gave her the gloves that she always wears whenever she was on a mission at tiningnan lang ito ni Xin.

"Go, I'll guard their bodies." Mahina nitong sambit habang walang imik na nakatingin si Xin sa kanya habang namumugto pa ang mga mata nito. Storm just wiped her tears and looked at her directly in the eye. The burning fire inside Xin was getting bigger and bigger every second that passes.

"You're not a monster. But tonight, you have to be one." Sabi nito na naging dahilan para pasimpleng suotin ni Xin ang gloves niya at walang imik na lumabas ng shield. Umangat lang ang gilid ng labi ni Storm at naghalukipkip habang tinitingnan si Xin. "I raised her well." Bulong nito habang nakatingin siya kay Xin na palabas na.

Naghiyawan agad ang mga studyante paglabas ni Xin habang nakatingin lang ang team sa kanya.

"Wow! Kailangan pa pala silang mamatay para kumilos ka na?" Natatawang tanong ni Miu sa kanya pero napabuga lang ng hangin si Xin at tinali na ang buhok niya. And when she raised her hand, kitang-kita nilang lahat na nawala na ang wolf symbol sa braso niya.

Her imprint was no longer there at dun na nawala ang ngiti ni Miu. Nagkatinginan lang din ang team nung makita nila ito.

"Dead? Oh, they're not dead. You're dead." Pagkasabing-pagkasabi nun ni Xin ay bigla nalang tumilapon si Miu paitaas dahilan para makuryente siya sa shield. The blast was so powerful that it created lightnings all over the place. Umangat lang ang gilid ng labi ni Xin nung makita niyang bumagsak sa lupa si Miu. "Weak bitch." Walang emosyong sabi ni Xin at pasimpleng naglakad papunta kay Miu.

In Xin's peripheral vision, nakita niyang tumatakbo sina Walter at Duke papunta sa kanya sa magkabilang direksiyon. Napabuga nalang siya ng hangin at pasimpleng umilag dahilan para magbungguan ang dalawa. Napamura nalang si Walter habang hawak-hawak ang ilong niya habang gumugulong naman si Duke. Kitang-kita ni Storm kung paano tumakbo si Matthew palapit kay Xin at napangiwi nalang ito.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." He commented to himself nung makita niyang gumagawa ng light chain si Matthew at pinulupot ito sa beywang ni Xin. Xin just got hold of the chain and pulled Matthew towards her at nung nakalapit na si Matthew kay Xin ay binalibag niya lang si Matthew at sinuntok pa ang sikmura nito causing him to fly directly at Wolfie's location.

Matapos niyang itapon si Matthew ay nag-inat lang siya at tiningnan si Dino na nakatingin lang sa kanya. Xin just made a hand movement at napaluhod na si Dino habang umuubo ng dugo. Walter immediately got up and rushed to Xin pero nahawakan lang ni Xin ang leeg niya at tiningnan siya.
