THE SAVIOR'S
CHAPTER 81 SACRIFICE PART 1

            “Fifth heart rate stops beating.” One of the operators working under Forth's orders gave bad news to everyone in the command room who witnessed how Fift stretched his life in the hands of Knight Three and Knight Five.

            “Are you sure Fifth is really dead?” Ethan asks to confirm if what he heard was a mistake.

            “Im sorry, Sir. But Fifth is really dead,” Forth said with a sad face.

            “How about Sixth?” ask Seventh worriedly. “Sixth was also hit by the attack? What about Siixth?”

            Forth shook his face still with a sad face. “From his heart rate, he's dying, Seventh.”

            Ethan clenched his hand seeing that one of his comrades had taken his life while the other was dying. Ethan stares at the screen where Sarayu is trying hard to save the dying Sixth plus the two Knights who are still continuing to attack him because Sarayu has killed their comrade.

            The alarm suddenly sounded. This time two alarm warning signs appeared at the same time.

            “Alarm what is this?” ask Dylan in a panic.

            “At a time like this. .” cried Seventh furious.

            “One alarm came from Mr. Dylan's laboratory and another one came from the sea direction which is located not far from the World Peace Forces Headquarters,” said one of the carriers under Forth.

            “My Laboratory?” dylan asked confusedly. “What happened to my lab? Is there an intruder coming in?”

            “No, Sir. It's just. . We caught the reaction couldn't be from Mr. Dylan's lab.”

            “Seventh. . “ Ethan calls Seventh.

            “Ya, Mr.”

            “Go with some guards and Dylan to check what happened there.”

            “Good, Mr.”

            Seventh along with Dylan then walked out of the command room and immediately rushed with some bodyguards heading to the laboratory room.

            “First. .” Ethan calls First to prepare for their worst.

            “Ya, Mr.”

            “Go with Eight and bring some bodyguards to see what happened with the warning from the beach. I feel a bad feeling from there,” explains Ethan.

            “I understand.”

            “Be careful. Because of the other two Knights, Knight One and Knight Two are still unknown whereabouts.”

            “I understand, Mr.”

            First out of the command room. Together with the Ingmar Alliance's forces, First moved out of the headquarters together with Eighth. Meanwhile. . .  Ethan who is still in the command room along with Third and Forth keeps an eye on his comrades.

            “Forth. .” Ethan calls Forth to set up a plan.

            “Ya, Mr.”

            “Begging Ninth to activate the protector and all the defensive weapons in the base. Then prepare the Ingmar Alliance's flying troops to help First.”

            “I understand, Mr.”

            The alarm went off again and this time came from the lab where Dylan and Seventh were located. This time. .call incoming from the laboratory goes into the command room.

            “Ethan!”

            “What happened there??” Ethan asks Dylan, while Forth in the command room displays all the cameras installed in the lab.

            “Did you see it?? The stones are vibrating, Ethan.”        

            “You mean the meteor rock shards stored there, Dylan?” tanya Ethan tries to look through the CCTV camera display shown by Forth on the monitor in the command room.

            “Yes, Ethan. The stones we have are eleven. From yours to yours Savior. From yours to Saviors', Saviors' stones are the only stones that are the largest in size. Fifth's stone has disappeared from its place, while Savior's stone is now slightly changed in size, larger than before.”

            Soon a bright and dazzling light entered the laboratory room where Dylan was and made the alarm in the laboratory room sound a second time.

            Wushhh. . .

            That bright and dazzling light just entered into the laboratory room and pierced through the thick walls as if they did not exist. The bright and dazzling light then moved towards the fragments of stone belonging to Sarayu and fused with it.

            “That???” ethan shouted in surprise from the command room.

            “Did you see it, Ethan??” Dylan looked at the CCTV camera with a frightened face. “Another rock fragment that had come out of nowhere suddenly came and just walked in. And the shards were joined by Savior's stone. Do you know what I mean, Ethan?”

            Ethan looks silently at the monitor where Dylan's face appears and on the other side Fifth's face has frozen over because of her lost life. The stone. . will return to its original size if its temporary owner loses his life. . .

            Ethan stared at the faces of all his comrades seen on the monitors in the command room. After that. . . Ethan looked at Third's face standing beside him and Forth's face sitting not far from where he was currently standing.  The future that I see now will truly come true. This peace . .the power that protects us and this power that we use, will one day return to its owner. That means. . .we will lose our lives so that the stone is intact again as before. This is the sacrifice we have to make for the peace of this world.

            At the First and Eighth locations.

            Eighth who left with the flying troops, sat in the plane while First guarded the coastal section with ground troops. From inside his plane, Eighth detected strange movements in the sea and found many submarines were in the ocean with the number of 10 pieces. Using proprietary technology made by Forth, Eighth detected that the 10 submarines that came were carrying a lot of nukes inside.

            “First!” Eighth contacted First who was on the beach with the ground troops.

            “Yes, Eighth. What did you find there??”

            “Ten submarines are approaching towards the coast and they are carrying a lot of nukes inside. Radar reads nuclear reactions in very large quantities.”

            Understanding what was about to happen, First directly contacted the headquarters and requested additional troops and requested a massive evacuation around the headquarters.

            “Mr Ethan, evacuate all residents near the beach and headquarters!! Eighth found an enormous amount of nukes inside the submarine that was approaching our base!!”

            First had just closed his call when a loud explosion sounded. Duarrrrrr. . . . . all the flying troops who went along with Eighth suddenly crashed into each other until it was destroyed.

            “Eighthhhhh!!!!!!!” First shouted to see Eighth's plane destroyed without a remnant.

            “There is no point crying over your dead colleague, First.”

            From behind the wind protection Sarayu had put up before she left, First saw Knight One suddenly appear and greet her.
