Wake Up

The next day comes...

Ryoken opened his eyes as the sunlight touches his face, he got up to find something was missing from his sight

"So... it's gone? It didn't comeback for me today?"

He stood up to walk around to find his little buddy that he spent the day with, after about 5 minutes of searching, he heard both footsteps and the sounds of his familiar friend.

"...?"

"Take it back to the car" - said a man.

"What!?" Ryoken suprised.

Seemed like his voice was too loud, the group of people noticed the noise he makes and all of them was facing at where Ryoken was hiding

"What's that noise!? Everybody, be careful!"

"What? I didn't hear anything though? Akira, you should really gets some more rest or you are being delusional." a girl with brown hair whines

"There are a lot of creatures here, plus this is a jungle, it's normal to hear sounds like that. Let's get this over with, we waste too much time here." 

"I supposed you are right, Kengo." the man sighed, "After all, we have been setting traps and get nothing but this."

On the other side, Ryoken is watching them closely, figuring out what they going to do next.

"So they are the one who set the traps? I have to rescue it, got to follow them."

==================

He decided to follow the human group for the entire day. He noticed they called themselves as "Exploration team". They took the little bird away so it made Ryoken thinks how will it going to be treated. But still, he held on the determination of saving it.

Also from their conversation, he figured out the last location the group has to visit is something familiar to him, called Shelter 032. He went ahead thanks to the coordinates they speak off during the conversation and take a closer look. As expected, this is not the Shelter that he looked for, in fact, it is in a completely opposite direction  compare to his destination.

Shelter 032 that he was looking for has collapsed almost entirely, rocks and branches have buried most of the entrance so Ryoken couldn't get in. Looking at this, Ryoken felt uneasy, maybe a little bit anxious. His only option now is wait for the humans to come and clear up the entrance for him.

"Yusaku is in Shelter 08, that's the important piece of memory I can hold on to in so many years. I need to recover some of the other pieces as well, but I right now I need to access the database index of this shelter, so I can grasp my accurate geographic position and the current time."

=============

The next day...

"Hey, you got everything set up?" - Kengo asked

"Are you sure this will blow it open, Akira? I was expecting the bomb would be bigger." - Hayami asked curiously.

"Not really "blow", more like "shake". Since the facility's condition is pretty bad, if we blow the entrance then the whole building might come down along with it. And it's almost ready."

Ryoken stayed behind a bush from about few meters away, observe them carefully, waiting for the chance.

"Hayami, once the entrance is cleared, make sure to stay alert about the surroundings" - Akira commanded

"Understood!"

"By the way, hasn't this Shelter has been discorvered for a long time ago? Why did SOL wait until now to finally ask us to investigate?" - Kengo asked, presumably doubting something.

"The terrain is too rugged, no one dared to come here. In the end, the higher-ups decided to send us here as trailblazers, didn't you read the mission reports?"

"Who has the time for that anyway."

"Whatever, I'm going to activate shockwave shaker now. Kengo, Hayami, stay alert!"

"Activate!"

All the rocks the covered the entrance have fell off, there is nothing stopping them to enter the Shelter.

"Hayami report. Obstacle removal successful."

"Alright, prepare yourself, we will be entering the ruins. Our vehicle will be set aside for now since they will not fit in here. From here on out, we will be exploring on foot. Kengo, you lead the way."

"Okay, okay. Jeez, why do I have to do all of the walking."

Behind the bush, Ryoken slowly rises up.

"This is my chance!" - he whispered.

He quickly plunge himself towards the vehicle, he will save it no matter what, he couldn't stand to see the image of the bird that will get tortured by the humans.

"Don't be scared.. I'm here to save you."

"Chirp!"

"Eh? This is...bandage? The broken bones are set back to their places, you received a well-done treatment.."

"Chirp!"

"They didn't torture you... but saved you instead... is it? Save thinking for later, I need to get you out..."

As he try to open the cage, the people on the exploration team has heard him. They quickly returned to the entrance.

"WHO'S THERE!?" Akira shouted.

"No...!" Ryoken suprised, he's been spotted, there is no time to lose, he has to escape.

"Everyone! We got a problem!"

"You are not escaping from us!" Hayami pulled out a gun and shot at Ryoken direction. The bullet seemed to hit his left arm.

"....Ugh!!" Taking a bullet shot, Ryoken bend down because of the pain. His pain sensors are working just fine, but not in the right place at all.

The shockwave from the gun and the sounds of people panicking seemed to affect the surrounding, the rocks are crumbling and in any seconds will be falling down on their heads

"Hayami!!! Look out!!!"

Luckily for Hayami, Akira pushed her out of the way in time, but he was the one who almost get crushed by the rocks instead.

"Shit... who was that, but nevermind that, we have to take care of Akira first." - Kengo panting, looking at his comrade who is injured.

"Don't move captain... your injuries require you to go back to the base for treatment..."

"I guess we have no other choice, suspend the mission! Stay alert through out our journey back, we will gather our information and report to SOL."

Kengo then look at the direction that Ryoken had fled away to. He has a feeling that this will not be the last time they met.

"Just what the hell was that... That speed... No one can keep up with it.."
