第12話 Glimpse Of The Past Life

'C ranked virtual timeline' is like a planet full of water and under that water, there are large mountains made of ice.


They all teleported there.


"Huh !? Are we underwater ?"

Sereka said confusingly while looking around.


"It looks like we are."

Hoshima responds while looking around in amazement.


"Then, H-How I can be able to breathe underwater !?"

Sotean shouted shockingly while grabbing his neck.


Sereka sigh and said.


"Idiot. Maybe because we're Time Travellers. So, we have special immunity to adapt or resist every type of situation."

She said while looking at Sotean.


"Oh! I see. Heh heh "

Sotean said with a stupid laugh.


Then he asked Sereka again.


"B-But How you know that ?"

Sotean asked confusingly.


Hoshima looks at Sereka for her response.


"Well, Isn't it obvious? Orthonoxmus tell me once."

She said.


"Oh! I see."

Sotean said then smiles.


Hoshima looks at Sotean's smile and thinks.


" That smile...is gentle. I wish he will smile at me too."


"Alright then. Let's go and defeat this time hunter too."

Sotean said then look at Hoshima and said.

"Right ?"

He said then smiles.


Hoshima's heart starts beating faster.

She smiles and said.

"Yes."

Then think to herself.

"Thank You So Much, God."


"But where we find that time hunter ?"

Hoshima then asked Sotean and Sereka.


"Just wait. He'll be soon here. Because Time Hunters never allow intruders to stay in their place."


Sereka said by making a serious face while looking around.


"Intruders !? We !?"

Hoshima said surprisingly.


"Well, we are here to kil- I mean defeat that time hunter. So, it's normal that we are intruders who will come in their place without their invitation."


Sereka said while looking at Hoshima with a smile.


Then she looks at Sotean and thinks while sighing to herself.


"Thank Goodness. I didn't say "kill" or else Sotean went crazy again just like last time..."


Sotean looks at Sereka confusingly.


"... Hoshima is also here. I know, she can't able to see his madness."

Sereka thinks then looks at Sotean and Hoshima and said.


"Well then let's find where is that time hunter and his monsters are hiding."

She said in a confidential voice.


"Yes."

Hoshima said in pride.


"Alright."

Sotean said enthusiastically.


Then suddenly the stable water of the planet starts vibrating.

Then suddenly many bubbles appear and then from that bubbles, Two hands and two legs and a head start forming. There is about 1000 Water Monster that appear like that. Their eyes are red and their whole body is oceanic blue.


Sotean and Sereka stand in a fighting position while tightening the grip of their weapons.

Hoshima looks at them, then she grabbed her spear tightly too.

Then she closes her eyes to focus her full potential on her weapon.

She can able to see the orange flow of energy flowing from the center of her body to her weapon.


She then looks at that monster.

Her eye color changes to green she then closes her eyes to concentrate more potential on her weapon.


On the other side,


Sotean said to Sereka.


"Let's go."


"Yeah."

Sereka respond.


They are about to attack those monsters but they stopped of a sudden.


They feel an enormous amount of energy behind them.


They both look back in shock.


They see Hoshima standing there while holding her spear like she is about to throw it.

Her body is covered with a green aura and she is closing her eyes.


"Is she....?"

Sereka said in amazement.


"No way..."

Sotean said in amazement.


Hoshima opens her eyes, her eye color has already changed to green.


She looks at those monsters and screams by saying.


"Phoenix Fire Of Destruction "


Then she throws her spear towards those monsters.

The speed of her spear is too fast.


When it reaches towards those monsters, a massive explosion occurs and half of the water of the planet vapourised of a sudden. And all the monsters are killed and disintegrate within the water.


Sotean and Sereka look at the area of the explosion in complete shock.


"S-She is really Hoshima, right ?"

Sereka said shockingly while looking at the area of the explosion.


"Y-Yeah."

Sotean said in complete shock.


They all look back at Hoshima in shock.


Hoshima is panting heavily.

She look at them and said.


"W-We...Did...it."

She said then smiles then suddenly collapse.


"Hoshima!"

Sotean said then run towards Hoshima and grabbed her.

He protects her from falling.


"Are you alright ?"

He asked panickily.


"Y-Yeah. I... think...I just use...too much...of my...potential."

Hoshima said while panting.


"Silly. If you transfer too much of your potential in your weapon then you'll die."

Sereka said angrily.


"I'm sorry."

Hoshima said while making a sad look.


Sereka sigh then said.

"It's alright. But keep in mind, that you don't have to transfer too much potential in your weapon. Okay ?"

She said thoughtfully.


"Hum. Okay."

Hoshima said with a smile.

She stopped panting too.


"Now we have to find the Time Hunter."

Sereka said earnestly.


"Hum."

Sotean responds seriously.


Hoshima look confused and asked them.


"Um...Er...So who were those monsters? Aren't they Time Hunters ?"

She asked confusingly.


"No...They are just soldiers of the time hunter. Time hunter is not here yet. He is their boss. And by the way, Every Timeline has only one-time hunter and others are his soldiers."

Sereka explains to Hoshima.


"Oh ?"

Hoshima becomes speechless.


Then she shouted in shock.

"WHAAAAAAAT !? I JUST WASTED ALL MY POTENTIAL ON HIS SOLDIERS? THE REAL ONE IS STILL NOT HERE ?... Oh my."

Hoshima shouted then she collapse in shock.


"Hoshima !"

Sotean said then she hold her in his hands.


"Hey! Are you okay ?"

Sotean asked her.


"I wasted my all potential."

Hoshima said while crying dramatically.


"Um..."

Sotean said confusingly by seeing her drama.


"Don't worry, Sotean. She is just a drama queen."

Sereka said while sighing.


"I'm not. I wasted my potential in his soldiers. I want to defeat the real one."

Hoshima said while crying and pushing Sereka backward like a cry baby.


"Okay Okay. Stop pushing me back."

Sereka said in irritation.


"It's alright Hoshima. Your potential will be recovered soon. Don't worry, okay ?"

Sotean said gently with a smile.


Hoshima look at Sotean with tears in her eyes then she jumped towards Sotean.


"Sotean."

She said while crying.


She hugs Sotean while crying.


"Sereka calls me a Drama queen. But I'm not. You believe me, right ?"

Hoshima said while crying like a baby.


Sotean smiles and said.

"Yeah... Of course, I believe you."

He said in a gentle voice.


On the other side, Sereka look at Sotean in anger and said.


"Hey, Sotean !"

Her voice is terrific.


"Huh ?"

Sotean responds frightenedly.


"Who is your girlfriend? Me or She ?"

Sereka said in a terrible voice full of anger.


"Y-Y-Y-Y-You....O-Of course."

Sotean responds frightenedly.


Hoshima cries more by saying.


"Now, Sereka is threatened Sotean to be on her side."

She said while crying like a baby.


"HEY! DON'T CRY LIKE A BABY !"

Sereka said angrily.


Hoshima is still crying.


Sereka slaps her own face by saying.

"Why did I become best friend with a cry baby ?"


Sotean smiles then pat Hoshima's head.


"Sotean ?"

Hoshima said in confusion.

She also stops crying.


"There There. It's alright. Everything is fine. Okay ?"

Sotean said with a gentle voice and a smile on his face.


Hoshima smiles and said.

"Hum. Okay."


Sereka smiles and said to Hoshima.


"At least you stop crying. That's good."

She said to tease her.


"Sereka."

Hoshima said while pouting her face.


Sotean smiles but suddenly he realizes something.


"Ah !"

He said surprisingly.


"Sotean ?"

Hoshima said in confusement.


"What's the matter ?"

Sereka asked.


He remembers something.

He sees a glimpse.


*Glimpse *

Young Sotean was crying in the park.

He was 7 years old.

He was crying because he was lost.


Then a boy comes near him.

"Big brother !?"

Sereka asked surprisingly.


"Ah!"

Sotean said while coming back to his senses.


"W-Why are you crying ?"

Hoshima asked Sotean worriedly.


Sotean touches his cheek. He finds tears on his cheek.


He muttered to himself.


"W-Why I am crying ?"


Sereka and Hoshima look at Sotean worriedly.


Before they can deal with his problem.

A new problem arrives.

"It can't be."

Sereka responds in shock.
