“It's just... you know...” continued Nervous Dijo, “I've always lived with older people and never... I've never had anyone like that...”
“I can see,” said Evelin teasing the boy, “I don't think I have the head to think about these things at the moment.”
“Oh, yes, of course, it makes sense.”
“But...” Dijo's heart began to accelerate when he heard the word, “after we overthrew God, I think we can go out.”
The young man tried unsuccessfully to hide the smile from his face.
“Oh, of course, great! Well, you're the one who's going to have to decide the place because I don't know much about the city.”
The girl smiled at him and agreed; then Dijo said goodbye and ran down the hall, calling for Willys.
...
The night before the blow, Sorom couldn't sleep, kept struggling in his bed until he heard a knock on his door. He stood up and opened the door revealing a smiling Golbert with a bottle of wine in his hand.
“What do you want?” Asked Sorom, without patience.
Golbert was coming in and with his huge body Sorom had no chance of stopping him.
“I knew you wouldn't be able to sleep, so I brought this to help.”
He opened the bottle and offered it to Sorom.
“Do you think drinking before a mission is wise?” asked Sorom.
“I think it's better than not drinking. Now let's do it.”
Sorom took the bottle and took a sip straight into the neck. The two sat on Sorom's bed, which leaned a little with Golbert's weight.
“Are you nervous?” asked Golbert.
“What do you think? How are you so calm?”
“Oh, I'm not calm.” said Golbert taking a big sip on the wine, “I think I just disguise better than you.”
“We are going after the man who destroyed our childhoods,” Sorom said. “It was horrible for me and I imagine it was much worse for you.”
“You who had to live with him since you were born.”
“Because of him you turned your whole body into a weapon... so you can help me...”
Sorom lifted Golbert's sleeve revealing the scars of the various muscle grafts he made to become the giant he was.
“You have always been very skinny,” Golbert said. “You needed someone to take a weight.”
“You didn't have to do any of that for me...”
“I didn't do it for you, I did it for us. For Norna, Willys and Dijo and all the Chaos Agents.”
Sorom took the bottle from his hand continued drinking, showing a sad countenance.
“Thank you anyway, without your help I would be another bandit from Iguana Street.”
“Do you really think that?” Asked Golbert. “It's what I think I would be without you.”
“Maybe it would be the two of us without Norna.”
They both shared a laugh and then the silence took hold. Sorom took another sip and realized there was nothing left.
“We drank it fast, huh?” Commented Sorom.
Golbert waved and took the bottle from Sorom's hands.
“So, in less than 20 days, will we have the lives we wanted?” Asked Golbert.
“You never told me what you planned for later.”
“My later is to stay by your side, encouraging you.”
Sorom punched the giant in the arm and rested his head on his shoulder.
“He is fine,” Golbert said. “I know he is.”
“I'm not so sure,” Sorom replied, “I don't know if it's good to think about him, I have to focus.”
Golbert got up to leave and gave a slight snare on account of the wine.
“Don't forget I'm here for you,” said the giant.
Sorom stood alone in his room and even spent several minutes sitting reflecting on the next day.
General Sorom
Evelin was with the leaders of the Chaos Agents inside Rinlojm. The mood was tense with the only sound being the moving of Dijo's fingers on the screens of computers.
“I can only fool their radars for a while,” Dijo said. “Their robots seem to have had an upgrade too; it will take me a while to hack them.”
A few more minutes passed and Norna landed the ship.
“This is as far as I can go,” Norna said. “Good luck to you.”
Evelin descended along Sorom, Willys and Golbert, seeing another series of ships landing on a plain. The sun shone brightly in the sky and you could see in the distance a metal construction.
Jamin and Sliger were on a small ground transport, with a cannon pointed upwards.
“Time for chaos!” Said Willys jumping on the transport and pressing a red button.
An explosive was thrown up and the group began to run towards the building. When the projectile completed its parabola, they saw an explosion at the base.
Evelin had her machine gun prepared and Sorom ran by her side with his hair stuck behind him and the sword handle turned into a pistol.
Willys kept shooting and the group ran with adrenaline screams. They heard alarms and soldiers were in a defensive position, but a group of them were hit by Willys' mortar making room for the agents to invade the base.
The place was huge, with several hangars covered, a spacious training camp and the main building with the cannon at the top.
“Into the hangars!” Cried Sorom in the communicators of all. “Quick!”
Sorom entered the first of them and noticed that it was completely empty which caused strangeness at first, but then turned into despair.
“Get out of here! It's a trap!”
He barely had time to say that and the hangar blew up. Luckily, they hadn't entered yet and the casualties were at minimum, with Sorom being thrown a few feet back.
Two more of the hangars blew up, and now he only was seen two in good condition. He was afraid it was more explosions, but they needed a place to protect themselves.
Meanwhile, tanks and heavily armed soldiers approached, and the Chaos Agents exchanged fire.
“What are we going
