Chapter 52 - Unexpected Meeting

"You know it?" Wilson asked to make sure Lucas did remember, and the man now nodded his head and then said,

"We were sent down to earth because we were given a task by something I don't know who it is!" Lucas explained to the two, which made Aidan now frown and ask again,

"Who??" Aidan asked and Lucas shook his head in ignorance,

"I didn't see anyone other than me and the eleven others in that place!" Lucas replied to Aidan and Wilson who were now looking at each other in confusion and looked back at Lucas.

"What did 'his' assign you? Um… I mean, to us." Wilson said to Lucas after he corrected his words, Lucas again exhaled and then said,

"We are assigned to destroy this Earth." And the answer that Lucas gave, of course, surprised both of them.

"Destroying the Earth??" Wilson asked Lucas who now nodded his head and said again,

"At least that's what I heard in my mind and my memory!" Lucas explained to the two, which then made Wilson chuckle now, while Aidan now shook his head,

"No… I don't want to do it if it's our job, I don't want to do it!" That's what Aidan said to Lucas and Wilson. Hearing Aidan says that Wilson immediately turned to look at him sharply and then said,

"You think you're the only one who doesn't want to do it? I don't even want to destroy the Earth!" Wilson's words made Aidan turn to look at him and nod his head and so did Lucas.

"I don't want to do that either!" Lucas said adding to their words.

"Then what should we do, Lucas?!" The question asked by Aidan made Lucas answer,

"There's no other way than we have to gather another star as quickly as possible and talk about this task. We have to wake them up and convince them if we can't carry out the tasks that are given to us, we have to convince them that we have to protect the earth, not destroy it." Lucas said telling them the goal they had to do now, which of course was agreed by Wilson and Aidan.

"Yeah… you're right, we have to find them as soon as possible!" Wilson said to Lucas who now nodded his head in response to Wilson's words.

…

Kletrek … Trak … Ketrek … brusshhh …

Krieett…. Brakk!!!

The roar of the fire that at that time burned the forest and the sound of lightning that appeared to uproot some of the trees that were burned at that time, gave a terrible effect to anyone who tried to extinguish it at that time.

"Sir! The fire is getting bigger and the helicopters can't approach because of the bad weather right now, the wind is blowing southwards, so the helicopters can't get through the smoke!" the words that were uttered by one of the firefighter's staff to the chief of the firefighter who is now kneeling in front of the staff.

"Then… what should we do? waiting for the rain to come, huh?! it will take a long time! no one is silent, we must immediately put out the fire before it spreads! Come on, let's just try our best!" that's the words that were uttered by the head of the fire department who was deployed directly and is now not far from the point where the fire appeared in the forest at that time.

"Well!!" said the firefighters at that time to the leader, who then they moved back to put out the fire in the forest that was burning at that time.

…

Shutt!!

At the same time, at a different place from where the firefighters were, Lucas, Aidan, and also Wilson appeared. Aidan's gaze was currently wandering around the scorched forest, but the remnants of the heat still stung and stung his skin at this time.

"Are you sure, if that person is here Lucas?" a question asked by Wilson also made Lucas now exhale and then nod his head, feeling sure that the water bender must be here,

"I'm not sure, because I see here only wood and trees that have been burned, rather than wet with water." the words that Aidan said at that time, made Lucas now grimaced and turned to look at the two as he said,

"We'll see, what we find in this forest… we're also here to find out, aren't we? just one more time the water bender comes to put out this fire." Lucas said to Wilson and also Aidan which was why Wilson nodded in approval of Lucas' words at that time and walked around the area.

"This is the point where the fire is gone, are you sure he will come to this point??" a question that was asked by Wilson again made Lucas squeak in annoyance and walked over to himself who was walking hand in hand with Aidan which then made Lucas extend his hand towards the two and then say,

"Come on! Then we go to the point where the fire is raging right now!" Lucas' words at that time surprised Aidan and Wilson who quickly turned their gazes to Lucas who now looked annoyed by it,

"A… haha, no need… it will be very dangerous, we better stay here!" Aidan said to Lucas, but unexpectedly Wilson grabbed Lucas' outstretched arm and nodded his head in response to Lucas's invitation, which made Lucas now grab Aidan's hand and they disappeared from the point where the fire was extinguished.

Wosh!!!

Shuutt!!

"Cough!! cough!"

Arriving at the three of them in the middle of the burning fire, Aidan coughed because the smoke that billowed around him was inhaled by himself at that time. Lucas's eyes are now squinting trying to look around, the heat of the place made sweat dripping from the temples of Lucas who was walking to find the whereabouts of the water bender at that time.

"Lucas!! are you sure the water bender will come here?" The question that was asked by Wilson at that time, made Lucas turn his gaze again at Wilson whose face was very red,

"I'm not sure if we should wait for him here, Lucas! We will be roasted to death!" The words that Aidan now added made Lucas just breathe and walked back to the two of them and then took them to a place where the fire had not yet spread to the forest.

Whoosh!!

Shut!!!

"We'll just wait here! If that water bender comes, he must be trying to extinguish it at this point so it doesn't spread to the others!" The words that were said by Lucas at that time were also given a nod of an agreement by the two who looked very hot due to the heat in the burning forest earlier.

Their current gazes turned to look directly at the intersection between the burning forest and the forest that had not been hit by the flames at that time, which of course made the three of them feel sad because they couldn't help much at this time.

"What should we do now, Lucas?" A word said by Aidan, made Lucas turn his gaze towards Aidan and then shook his head in response to the question,

"There's nothing we can do, just pray that the water bender will come soon!" Lucas said to Aidan, and at the same time, Wilson's gaze now found a man walking out of the fire that was on their right, which of course surprised Wilson at that time.

"Hey!!" called Wilson at that time, which of course made Lucas and Aidan look at the tall man, wearing all black clothes and a black hat that almost covered his eyes at that time. Feeling that he was caught, the man ran quickly in the opposite direction, which made Wilson immediately run and say,

"Chase him!!" Wilson's words at that moment made Lucas disappear and immediately appear in front of the running man, who now because of Lucas' sudden appearance surprised him so that he dropped himself spontaneously because of it.

"Who are you?!" Lucas asked the man who was now smiling at Lucas and the man glanced slightly to the right which made Lucas turn his head to look at another man who was running towards them and the man who was running swung his hand at Lucas and the man in the black hat.

Ctarr!!!

A lightning bolt flashed quickly around the place where Lucas and the man were standing, which of course surprised Lucas who was shocked by it and even Lucas' body was hit by a fallen tree trunk, making it difficult for him to move at this time. Unlike Lucas, the man in black is now running quickly to escape Lucas.

"He is no ordinary person!" shouted Aidan who was running at the same time as Wilson, which made Wilson chase after the man in the black hat who was now approaching the lightning man.

"Don't let them get away!" Lucas said to Wilson who now nodded his head and immediately kicked the ground to finally restrain the body of the Lightning man who now looked surprised by it. Seeing that his friend was being restrained, making the man in the black hat not stay still, he looked at Wilson sharply and immediately waved his hand at Wilson which was surprisingly the fire that spread was very large. And Wilson couldn't move because he locked the movement of the lightning man at that time, which made him only able to close his eyes at that time.
