16. Aluqi, The Commander of the Enemy

It was something Alexa had never expected. The girl thought she could join the battlefield and get all the information so she could find a way to stop the war, and Alexa's real goal was just for the girl to return to her world as soon as possible.

Alexa knew that no one could access anything about her dori, and analyze everything about her, no matter what got in her way, but Alexa thought it was an advantage for her.

"Aluqi Marplo, a commander of the enemy forces who is known to be cruel. With just one wave of his hand, everything will be destroyed. He is like a god, just by using his power, everyone will die, without exception," said Harlan who was also monitoring the system screen behind Alexa's helmet.

At first, Alexa was surprised but then the girl realized that only Harlan could enter Alexa's system room. There was a lot of enemy information displayed on the screen.

"What are you looking for, Alexa?" asked Harlan.

"Weaknesses and opportunities," Alexa answered briefly.

The data did not only display Aluqi, the enemy commander. What Alexa was looking for was the entire enemy. The girl also looked for facts about the start of the war. Who would have thought that the war happened because of the selfishness of the two leaders.

Morgan and Mathew are two robots created by Azlan decades ago by programming them as perfectly as possible. However, like self-eating weapons, Morgan and Mathew never had the same thoughts. One has a dark aura that only wants to rule the world for himself. The other has a bright aura that hopes for the welfare of the robots.

The conflict began, and they became increasingly fierce in fighting for power. At that time Azlan was still there but was unable to stop the two of them who continued to feud. Light and darkness can never be united, they always take turns appearing or facing each other, never being able to unite.

Morgan with his dark aura and desire to rule the robot world started something without anyone knowing. Morgan secretly created another robot to fight Mathew who was believed to have powers that would not be comparable to his. Unfortunately, Mathew finds out about Morgan's plan to destroy the robot world and build it with Morgan's dark version.

Mathew did not want to lose, creating a combat robot with his version to take revenge on Morgan at any time. They both worked secretly behind the peaceful robot citizens living in Star until finally Morgan secretly gathered his followers and made plans to rebel. War broke out after Azlan died. They did not start a rebellion because Azlan was more capable of killing them both before starting his plan. However, who would have thought that Azlan would make a prophecy?

"Enough, Alexa," said Harlan who was still watching Alexa through the screen on the girl's system.

"That's still nothing," said Alexa, there was still curiosity in the girl to dig deeper.

"You can read it yourself here later. Remember, you are now on the battlefield," Harlan reminded Alexa and the girl came to her senses. But still reluctant to turn off the system that contained information related to the war.

"I want to access it. I thought this could only be accessed while here," said Alexa.

Harlan's complaint was heard behind their communication but Alexa ignored it.

"If you are an arm, it is not impossible that something will happen," said Harlan reminding.

Having just said that as a warning from Harlan, Alexa's eyes widened perfectly when she found a stranger right in front of her. The flat and cold expression was more piercing than Dean's, making Alexa immediately freeze in place.

His aura felt so thick with a black aura that made Alexa feel tightly gripped. The figure was wearing a robe that covered his dark green robot uniform. Alexa was silent, her mouth gaping wide, even Harlan's connection was silent.

Before Alexa could say anything, her wrist was gripped tightly by a figure who suddenly appeared in front of her. He was Aluqi, the enemy commander who suddenly appeared right in front of Alexa who didn't realize where he came from.

"Hey!" Alexa shouted as Aluqi held her hand tightly and with one jerk the girl's body floated in the air with one hand held by Aluqi and took her away from there.

Alexa was not afraid of heights but now she was afraid of Aluqi's grip on Alexa's hand who was forcibly carrying the girl.

A shot hit Aluqi making Alexa roll her eyes because the robot figure easily let go of Alexa's hand to block the attack that appeared. Alexa glided freely in the air while screaming before finally the tiny body felt another sensation and opened her eyes to make sure that she was still safe.

Dean stared at Alexa with an angry look, the man's eyes were black and shining while Alexa regulated her rapid breathing. Before Alexa could calm down, an attack was directed at them and Dean easily blocked it and then countered the attack launched by Aluqi towards them.

The battle between the two commanders became each other's attention while the war was still going on down there. However, when Dean and Aluqi faced each other, their auras were so tense and seemed to collide. Alexa just realized that Dean's white aura was brighter than Aluqi's pitch-black aura in front of them.

Between the two of them, neither of them wanted to lose, attacking each other with their respective strengths, and the weapons they had. Alexa was still hiding behind Dean because the man didn't let her go or let Alexa go to a safer place.

"Do something!" Harlan spoke again on Alexa's system screen. "That's because you're careless," Harlan said.

Alexa ignored Harlan but thought about what she should do to get away from Aluqi. The fight between Dean and Aluqi was getting fiercer and more dangerous, even Dean was hit several times by Aluqi's attacks.

"So the prophecy is true?" Aluqi's voice was heard mockingly from the front, and Alexa peeked. "That girl isn't that strong," Aluqi said while continuing to launch attacks with his weapons and powers.

Dean himself cried and returned similar attacks while protecting Alexa.

"Dean, you know it's useless, right?" Aluqi said again without any intention of stopping and attacking more fiercely.

There was no reply from Dean other than continuing to return Aluqi's attacks, his opponent that Dean could never defeat.

"You don't know anything," Dean replied. "A coward like you won't know what hope is," Dean replied.

Aluqi squeaked from his place hearing Dean's answer.

"Hope? There is only destruction," Aluqi replied coldly.

Dean didn't want to retaliate because one attack had hit Dean's right arm, surprising Alexa.

Aluqi laughed in satisfaction when Dean was hit by his attack.

"I won't give up until you're all destroyed!" Aluqi said confidently.

Alexa knew that the girl shouldn't have escaped Azura's supervision, but because she ignored Harlan's orders and her agreement with Dean, they were now cornered because Aluqi's attacks continued without stopping after Dean was injured, causing them to start descending to the battlefield from the air.

While racking her brains to find a way to stop Aluqi's attacks. Alexa with determination launched an attack that came from her power. The first attack shot past Aluqi. The blue light that came out of Alexa made Aluqi's suspicions clearer.

"So you're the one predicted," Aluqi said while directing his sharp gaze towards Alexa.

With one injured hand, Dean launched an attack but it didn't hit Aluqi who stared at Alexa angrily.

"What if I'm the one predicted?" Alexa replied challengingly while buying time to launch the next attack. "You must be scared, right?" Alexa attacked with words, mocking Aluqi.

The figure laughed out loud, belittling Alexa's words.

"Scared? Why would I be afraid of a small creature like you?" Aluqi replied.

Dean's condition immediately complied, Alexa realized that but the girl still tried to get Aluqi's attention.

"Because I exist, I am real, I will stop the war," Alexa said confidently which made Aluqi laugh even harder.

"You will stop the war?" he said belittlingly. Alexa did not respond, still looking for an opening. "Are you sure?"

"You are not sure, Coward," Alexa insulted boldly.

Alexa's words seemed to have successfully ignited Aluqi's emotions, making him showered with attacks from the figure. Alexa was overwhelmed but could not avoid it while Dean was no longer able to move because the attack directed by Aluqi hit Dean.

"You think you're great just because you're the one who was predicted?" said Aluqi.

"Yes. I'm great because I'm in a world that I didn't even think existed," replied Alexa. "And I don't believe in the existence of a cowardly robot like you who only moves in the air, gives orders, and makes everyone suffer," said Alexa again attacking Aluqi with more words and launching attacks from the weapon she was holding.

Aluqi was getting angrier. Not accepting Alexa's words.

"What do you know, human?" Aluqi glared at Alexa who was trying to find a safe place to land. But unfortunately, Aluqi launched a big attack, injuring Alexa.

Aluqi looked satisfied while Alexa was in pain and shocked by the attack.

Alexa's eyes opened wide as a drop of her blood appeared and dripped quickly down without being able to be stopped.

"Even on the first day I met you, I could easily eliminate you. You talk too much," Aluqi said.

Alexa's gaze was directed at Aluqi who seemed to have the upper hand. Alexa moved silently and launched an attack from her power unexpectedly when Aluqi was off guard.

"Let's see, who will disappear first," Alexa said before leaving there bravely with Dean's weak body.

The attack that Alexa launched hit Aluqi right on the head, but he managed to ward it off another attack from Alexa hit the back of Aluqi's figure and the man was injured. Anger was getting higher but Aluqi didn't have time to reply to Alexa because his system informed him of his emergency.
