Chapter 44 - Southern base

[ Energy has increased to a certain level, Host can now commence healing ]

[ Host energy is not high enough for full body healing. Critical injuries would be healed first ]

[ Healing has now commenced ]

'How many minutes was I out,' he thought, looking around the area. He could feel himself moving and was quite surprised. Opening his eyes, he found out he was being carried. Dren's purple hair came into view as his vision cleared. 'Where are we going?'

'That system message had come through while I was out. I guess my body is fully healed now. But, this sure feels good!' He said with a smile and did not attempt informing the rest he was up. 'I might as well rest a little.'

Back on Earth, a large conference was held involving all four regions along with the military. Each region had sent representatives, and currently, they were seated waiting for the important figure on earth to commence the meeting.

"Is it true that the vice supreme commander isn't going to be attending the meeting?" One of the representatives from the Eastern region asked.

The generals available were also present in the meeting, and Ritchie, the young uprising general, was seated amongst them.

"Yes, he's overseeing the assessment the latest cadets are going through, and I'm pretty sure he hopes to take some under his wing."

"So, what are we waiting for before the meeting starts?"

'Hold on a sec, don't tell me the supreme commander is coming here."

"No way, old man. The supreme commander has been in seclusion for close to a year now."

"A rumour is being spread that he's sick, but we dont know how true that is," another said in a whisper to the guy sitting next to him.

"So why were we called here?" One of them asked. "Is it relating to the incident that occurred previously?"

The representatives that had come where high ranking members and knew little of the the issue at hand.

"Or the base of the winged organisation has finally been discov-"

A fierce aura enshrouded the hall as a figure walked through the large double doors. His long dark hair was tied in a pony tail, and his cloth hugged his body tightly, showing off his well-defined muscle. Also,adorned on his chest were various medals glittering under the little source of light.

"Greetings to the supreme commander!" Everyone saluted immediately rising from their seats.

He walked towards an empty seat but not before waving them. This was the supreme commander Garan Borwick, the leader of the military and also a strong force over earth.

He sat down on the chair, and immediately, the rest followed after. Ritchie stood up and then handed him a file containing information about the ongoing conflict.

"Hmm," the hall was in silence as he read through the files. 'So, it truly is happening,' he thought with a sigh. Within minutes, he was done and placed the file beside him. 'Just when I'm close to a breakthrough, this is happening.'

Everyone waited with bated breath as they awaited the supreme commander.

"Alright," he said, looking over everyone. "Let the meeting commence!"

The group finally got to their destination after a long walk, appearing before a large gate made from an ability wielder, Dwaine stepped forward and passed a slip of paper towards one of the student standing at the other side of the gate.

Standing for over five minutes the gate was finally swung open. "Only those from the southern region are allowed in," the guy said, standing before them.

"I guess this is it then," Dwaine said to Garrick and his group.

"Huh? Cmon man, you aren't strong enough." Will ignored the comment getting off Dren's back and headed towards Garrick.

"We'll meet at our usual place," he said patting his shoulders. Garrick and his group weren't from the southern region and he haven't the chance to find out.

"Alright," he said and with a nod as he walked out of the area along with his members.

Finally the gate was opened for them to pass through. "Why did this guy bring us here," Will couldn't help but think as he felt an odd feeling after walking through the gate. The gate was shut immediately and they were led by the student towards an open space with a huge chair at the center.

A young man with his hand pressed onto the handle of a weapon standing off the ground sat with his legs crossed over the chair. Standing beside him were two students with fierce look.

"What do we have here," the guy said,his voice giving out an oppressive feeling.

"My body wasn't wrong, what's this guy doing here," Will thought clenching his fist tightly.

Finally they could see his face, his long white hair and deep set of amber eyes. Their eyes fell on the weapon beside him. The handle stretched down to a large bouldering rock with intricate crafting etched across it.

The handle was made with strong leather skin, one made from a high tier beast. They were a few openings along the large handle with a red line running through the boulder head.

'One would need to have a large amount of strength in other to use that properly,' Dren thought with a gulp as he palms began to get sweaty. 'This guy... were have I seen him before?'

Will face was held down as he avoided looking over at his side.

"What do we have here," he said with a jeering smile. "Another set of southerners," he said gently rubbing his hands across his chin.

Dwaine stepped forward and made a report on what had happened before stepping back in silence.

"You guys can go, I'll handle them," he said looking at Dwaine. Dwaine looked over at Will for a moment before walking out of the open space with his entourage.

"Be careful, he's one of the leaders I won't try to offend here." Will had heard him alright and wasn't surprised.

"Come on out brother, no need of hiding yourself," he said with a smile as he looked over the group.

"Brother?" They all had a confused look and were staring at each other.

"That's it! Now I remember!" He thought looking at Will with a worried expression. "He's Kyle Sonoma, one of Will's brother."

"Don't act stubborn or I'll have to send one of them beside me to drag you out."

Finally making a movement, he stepped forward and walked toward the opening his jaw set in a hard savage line.

"He's from the Sonoma?" Dan muttered in shock as he looked over at the two.
