THE SAVIOR'S

THE SAVIOR'S
CHAPTER 38 THROWN INTO THE PAST PART 1


Winner’s POV


           “What does first love mean to you?”


           That question I often hear either in the role of a character or in real life. Many of my fans are so curious about my first love that I have always hidden.


           But even though my mouth always makes excuses by saying that my first love has no deep impression and has been around for a long time, my heart says something else. My first love left a deep impression even to this day I cannot forget it.


           My first love happened when I was in college. A girl with fairly long hair always curled her hair over and hid her beautiful black hair.  It looks like camouflage. When in college, he would only wear jeans, a shirt covered with a hoodie and a sneaker. Her beautiful black hair was curled up and left some of her short, slightly messy hair. The glasses that were attached to her face also managed to cover her two beautiful eyes.


           Our first meeting was during a lecture together where she was the only girl who deliberately kept a distance from me and hoped for a quiet lecture, don't want to be bothered by the hysterical screams of the other girls who are crazy about me. The first meeting was not enough to leave an impression on me until the end of college with us, the lecturer who led the lecture gave a group assignment and made me stuck with him - just the two of them.


           Seeing the way she looks and habits are always aloof, I initially thought she was an introverted girl who would do everything herself. But again I was wrong.


           “Win. Winner, your job hasn't been done!”            


           “Win. Winner, what part of you? Don't you need grades for college??”


           That girl really did charge me like a debt collector. He always took the time to intercept me and give me a warning. Not only that, he also bombarded me with many messages. I wondered, how did he find my phone number?


           Inevitably, I ended up doing all my work to make him stop coming to me and charge me like a debt collector.


           Until that incident, I still don't have any impression of her yet and still think of her as an ordinary girl busy pursuing college grades in hopes of getting a good job in the future. But something happened at the second joint lecture where I drew all my initial judgments and impressions on him. The girl. . . suddenly changed her appearance: wearing a white blouse and capucinno color skirt with knee length and wrapped in a black suit with a length equal to her skirt. Her hair that was always curled is now allowed to decompose neatly and the glasses that had always been part of her face are now completely removed, replaced by contact lenses.


           The girl appeared gracefully all of a sudden and made all eyes on her, not least me. That day, it was a deep impression that I could never forget and perhaps it was the first time my heart was beating faster because of her.


           “Sarayu, why did you suddenly change your appearance??” ask me when college hours together end.


           “Oh this.” Sarayu looked at herself and felt a little clumsy. “After this, I have an appointment. Since I didn't have time to return to the boarding house, inevitably I had to wear these clothes. What are you calling me, Winner?”


           “For the next group assignment, you don't mind grouping with me anymore do you?” ask me with a slightly low tone.


           “Of course. Doesn't that have to be? Why then?”?


           “I guess you don't like to group with me.”


           Sarayu gave a small smile and made it look even more shining in my eyes. “Win. Winner, listen to me. What I don't like is that your followers are always following you and always making a fuss. I love calmness and you are someone far from calm. But that doesn't mean I don't like working with you. As long as you work well, I don't mind.”


           That day, that second, that moment, I had fallen in love for the first time in my life. I fell in love with Sarayu who did not see my good looks, who was not crazy about me, and saw me as Winner-his college friend.


                                                                        *


           “You're a woman?”  That shout from Knight One shocked everyone be it Knight One himself, Knight Three, Knight Five, Sixth, Second and Winner.


           But the shock shown by Sixh and Second was different from the shock shown by Knight One, Knight Three and Knight Five. The shock of Sixth and Second is a form of surprise that says that the revelation of the identity of Sarayu should not happen.


           “Saviour!!!” Sixth shouted to Sarayu.


           Sarayu nodded her head as if understanding the intent of Sixth's shout. Sarayu immediately gave the order to her red staff to extend towards Sixth and Second.  “Ruyi!!”


           “Saviour!” Sixth calls Sarayu's name again as she approaches Sarayu's red staff and touches it. Sixth gave a warning to Sarayu to immediately make a transfer to the headquarters of the World Peace Forces.


           “No I'll let you go, Bahram!” shouted Knight One who was trying to reach Sarayu's hand. But Knight One's efforts failed because Sarayu's roller skates moved faster to retreat and get closer to Sixth and Second. Thanks to Second, the Knight One movement that should be able to reach Sarayu now has to swallow the bitter reality to fail.


           “Knight Three! Five Knight! Get that girl!!! Whatever happens, I want the girl arrested right now!” Knight One still did not want to give up on getting Sarayu and now ordered his two comrades to come forward and help her, getting her wish.


           Knight Three who has the ability to copy other abilities, immediately copy the abilities of Second and make Knight One and Knight Five who are near Sarayu and Winner move to catch him.


           “If can't catch the girl, catch Winner!” Knight One gave his cue again to his two comrades. “Winner is the weakness of the girl now!”


           Hearing the cue from Knight One, Knight Five who had the closest distance to Winner immediately summoned her metal and made a long chain with handcuffs on both ends. One of the handcuffs was connected to Knight Five's own hands and another one would be connected to Winner's chassis.


           Sarayu who saw the actions of Knight Five harm Winner who was currently someone she had to protect, he moved closer to Winner by riding his red stick-Ruyi. Moving on a red stick is faster than moving on water because of the density factor of the two different objects. Sarayu quickly gets near Winner and replaces Winner caught by the handcuffs of Knight Five's long chain.


           Hup. Kling. Kling.


           Sarayu's left hand is caught by Knight Five's handcuffs while Sixth begins to move herself along with Sarayu, Second and Winner.


           “Sial! What happened???” as if Sixth saw Sarayu's hand was caught by Knight Five. “I won't be able to move you if you connect with Knight Five, Savior! Switching places now, will bring Knight Five to our headquarters!”


           “Just do it, Sixth!!” shouted Second. “We have nothing to lose catching Knight Five now, than we have to let go of Savior and lose it! Remember the purpose we came here was to save the Saviors from them!”


           “I know it, Second! But bringing in the Metal Five-Controller Knight would jeopardize our base! Everyone in the headquarters will not be able to handle it!”


           “Second!!” shouted Sarayu who seemed to understand the difficulties that were being faced by two colleagues. “Slow all the time around Knight, slower again! After this, I'll take a shot from the third mode and after that Sixth will move us right before the effect happens and if that happens drag down Knight One alone! I'll take on Knight Five!”


           Sixth and Second who understood the code of the third mode, immediately swallowed his saliva when Sarayu's idea was quite dangerous.


           “It looks like we have no other choice, right?” Sixth glanced at Second.


           Second nodded his head in agreement. “Yes, this is the only way to bring us all back to headquarters and save Savior and Winner.”


           Sarayu held the handcuffs in her hands which continued to pull her towards Knight Five, meanwhile, Sarayu's wind protector who was not far from him tried to resist Knight One's movement that had been slowed by Second. The fight intensified as Knight Three attempted to neutralize Second's abilities and drew two of his comrades closer to the Saviors who were now their targets.


           “Knight Three!” Knight One shouted again.


           “I know, Knight One. But this is not an easy thing!!!” lamented Knight Three who was trying hard to support his two comrades.


           Slowly the Savior began to be pulled by the Knight Five as it continued to take cover without attacking. Ruyi, who should be able to help, must now become a bridge for the Saviors to move to resist the pull of Knight Five.


           “Seeond!” Sarayu pulled out one of her pistols and pressed the mode button. “Now!"


           Second unleashed a deceleration of time on Knight Five, while Sarayu who was successfully pulled by Knight Five instantly fired her shot towards the chains belonging to Knight Five.


           Boooms. An explosion of incredible scale occurred. Sixth immediately moved himself along with Second, Winner and Sarayu who were now connected with Sarayu-Ruyi's red baton back to the World Peace Forces headquarters.
