Rock's POV:

I open my eyes and I found myself being tied. It was not the worst case scenario I have thought ever since we agreed to do this mission. Well, it's not like we have other choice than to agree.

I close my eyes when I felt my head breaking. It hurts. What happen? I felt so dizzy all of a sudden.

Just when I was about to get used to the pain of my head I turned my head and find out that the rest of us are tied. I don't know what's wrong but I feel so uneasy. Like something is missing.

Few seconds later, I'm all okay and my head doesn't hurt any more. And this binding technique is so strong that I felt like it's tightening Everytime I move.

Base on it's strength, if the one who've done this is a ghoul then they're what we called Elite Noble.

The others were sleeping peacefully and it sounded like we're not on a grave danger. When I was thinking a way on how to get this thing around me my eyes widened when I realized who's missing.

Sebriel!

"Guys! Guys!! Wake up!" I shouted as felt anger and worry enveloped my emotions.

"GUYS! I SAID F*CKING WAKE UP!" I couldn't help myself but shout. The headmaster and the King entrusted Sebriel to us and we couldn't just leave it like that! We're professional!

"W-what's wrong?"

"Ugh, fudge.. that hurts."

"Ahh.. ugh."

"Guys! Sebriel's missing! We need to find her!" I shouted at them as I tried myself to look at their direction but the more I move the more the bind tighten.

"One thing, do not move! Don't struggle!" I said as I felt sweat running down my jaw. This is bad. I almost can't breathe.

"Oh sh*t. Rock! Calm down! We're going to get out of this!" Alron said as I calmed myself. I stared at who's beside me and I could see the North Phoenix, unconscious facing the east. His head feels like it's going to come off. His head is facing North.

"Everybody, let your inner weapon out and put on a sheild. I'm going to break everybody's bind. Okay?" Alron said as he closed his eyes and focus. Kahit na ayaw kong ilabas ang inner weapon ko linabas ko pa din. My inner weapon can exhaust me in a snap of short time when it's defending. Base kasi sa pagattack ko yung inner weapon. Mas masama if magback fire.

Considering na napakalakas ng inner weapon ni Alron. So far, siya ang pinakamalakas sa buong academy. Bihasa na kasi siya sa paggamit ng inner weapon niya. He's been with many mission than me.

Pinalabas ko iyong inner weapon ko at tinago yung katawan ko maliban sa part na nandoon ang bind.

Sh*t, this bind is getting tighter. And it feels like it sucking all my energy. This is harder than I ever thought.

"G-guys, ready." Rinig kong sabi ni Alron at tsaka hinanda iyong sarili ko sa susunod na mangyayari. Sana di kami masaktan sa pagalis ng bind nato.

Few seconds of waiting I felt Alron's presence get even intense. I hope na di siya mawawalan ng control. In this situation, that would be the worse case scenario. Walang makakapigil sakanya if mangyayari yun.

Ramdam kong hindi na mahigpit ang malapit sa tiyan ko kaya agad kong inalis yung inner weapon ko at napangiti.

Tanggal na yung bind ko.

Hinihingal akong tumayo at tsaka nilapitan iyong mga kasama ko.

"Guys, ayus lang ba kayo?" Nag-alala kong tanong habang hinihingal na tinignan sila. My inner weapon just exhausted me. Ugh, kailangan ko ng pahinga pero sa kasong to, impossible.

"Oo, ayos lang kami." Sagot naman ni Teixy at hinawakan iyong bahagi nang kamay niya na nasali sa pagbind.

"Ahh, mabuti Naman." Sabi ko habang bumuntong hininga. Sobrang nag-alala ako.

"Rock, ano iyong sinabi mo kanina?" Tanong sa akin ni Nico at lumapit sa akin.

"Oh sh*t."

"What?"

"Si Sebriel! Wala dito! Di niyo napansin? Wala siya dito!" Sigaw ko. This is bad. We don't even know kung nasaan si Sebriel ngayon. Lalo na iyong dalawang taong inambush kami. Di man lang kami nakacounterattack.

"Noo~ si, si.. si Seb? Sinong kumuha sakanya?" Sabi ni Magne habang naiiyak.

"Yan ang problema natin. We don't know who kidnapped her and we don't even know where they are. Then, we still have to get the map of Hades." Sabi ko at tsaka bumuntong hininga. This may actually the first time this kind of situation happen.

All of our mission was done well. It would always end up as one of the most cleanly done mission at the history of our school but that might end right here right now.

Knowing that our North Phoenix is unconscious we cannot even locate the map.

"Ugh, how are we suppose to locate her?" Tanong ni Alron kaya sabay kaming tumingin sa gawi niya.

"We don't know." Sagot naman ni Mexy at tsaka yumuko.

"We should call the headmaster." Suggest ni Nico kaya napatingin ako sakanya. What he just said made sense.

"We should do that. This may make our reputation worse, but Sebriel's safety comes first, right?" Sabi ni Nico habang tinignan kami isa-isa. Yumuko ako at nag-isip. Yes, telling the headmaster would be the greatest idea but considering that we still don't have the map this may actually 'really' worsen our reputation.

But..

Who ghaddanged care?

None.

"Let's do that. Is someone against the idea? If there is, I'll kill you." Pagtethreaten na sabi ni Magne kaya agad kaming napalingo. Damn, girls are scary.

After all of us agreed to the idea we immediately used the dimensional teleportation capsule to go back to our world.

Dimensional Teleportation Capsule is a medicine-looking capsule. If digested, you will be immediately transported to another dimension or you will be back to the world you belong to. Though, our elders and Kings don't suggest on using this since this may actually go wrong. Some ghouls have experienced being transported to the ghoul prison that consist of deadly looking murderer, which are actually deadly.

It also suck most of your inner weapon's energy. So as long as you're strong mentally and physically you can use this. Though, NOT PRESCRIBED.

After digesting the capsule I immediately prepared myself. The ride wasn't long but it is exhausting.

"Is everybody here?" Tanong ko habang hinanap yung mga kasama ko and gladly, silang lahat nakarating dito ng maayos. I don't know what will I do if one of them is not present. I have enough worry in me I don't need more.

Sabay-sabay kaming tumungo sa office ni headmaster, while we were walking tension and worry started to corrupt me and I could feel the others to. Alron may look like he's calm right now but I know for sure he's actually more worried than me.

He's the leader and it is his responsibility to look after his members and act tough in times of crisis but right now the serious look on his face is starting to crack and his worried face is now visible.

This time around, he must have realized the big mistake he have done and me, as the acting second leader, this problem also trouble me. This is the first time that this happen.

Nakarating kami sa harap ng office ni headmaster at agad namang kumatok si Alron. The place is so quite since it's already morning. We sometimes don't sleep at night.

"Come in" rinig kong sabi ni headmaster na nanggaling sa loob ng office niya. His voice is serious.

Pumasok kami isa-isa at humarap sa headmaster.

"Ohh.. you're already here! Good job! You already have your hands to the map? Hmm?" Nakangiting tanong ni headmaster. Hinarap Ni Alron si headmaster at tsaka umiling. Syempre, naguguluhan na tinaas Ni headmaster ang kanyang kilay.

"What do you mean, Alron?" Tanong ni headmaster. ".. and where's Sebriel?" Dugtong niya.

"That's the problem headmaster. I have failed to put my members to safety and on top of that one of them was kidnapped. We couldn't locate the map and we don't have any choice but to go back here and ask for your help. I'm sorry, headmaster." Sabi ni Alron at sabay kaming yumuko. I felt so effin bad.

"T-that's.. a serious.. problem." Sabi ni headmaster. Napabuntong hininga ako. Pati si headmaster sinabing seryoso Ang problemang ito kami pa kaya?

"Anyways, I'm glad you went back here to report that problem. We'll immediately look for her and get her back. You're now dismissed." Sabi ni headmaster.

"No! Headmaster! Please, let me help. I neglect my duty as a leader and in order for me to pay that back is to help finding her. I was not paying attention. Please, let me help." Sabi ni Alron habang nilapitan pa lalo si headmaster.

"No, Alron. Stop acting so selfish."

"What?"

"You have us in your back."

"Stop talking nonsense"

"Like you're some sort of a big shot."

"You're a strong ghoul, we know that but there are times where you have to stay low and let us help you."

"Join us, as well, headmaster."

Lahat natahimik. This is the first time na eager kaming tulungan isang ghoul dahil usually, dati gusto naming tulungan ang isang ghoul kasi alam naming kaya namin but this time eager kaming tulungan si Sebriel at gusto namin siyang tulungan sa kamay ng mga demons and this time, we're acting on impulse. On top of than, without knowing if we'll succeed or not.

"Ahh, the eagerness in your eyes is making it so hard to refuse. Okay, fine. But on one condition." Sabi niya at tsaka niya kami tinignan isa-isa at alam kong mas seryoso pa talaga siya.

"What condition?" Tanong ko.

"You will only take part on looking for her. You don't need to defend or to fight. In short, you are the mind. You make plans. Am I understood?" Tanong niya kaya sabay kaming napangiti.

"Yes, headmaster!" Sabay na sabi namin at tsaka sabay na lumabas sa office niya.

Headmaster's Side

"Uhh, this is getting hard. I should hire them to look for the map and ask those two to for help. Uhh.."
