Crossing the World
XXIII - Earth (Ravindra)

When the hijacking of the Alpine Star Ship was confirmed, an elite platoon that had indeed been set up specifically to tackle piracy was immediately dispatched. Unmitigated, all members are elite soldiers who are members of the Frog Force Commando unit.

The commander this time was Lieutenant Colonel Ravindra Megawe, a leader who had previously been successful in dealing with piracy at home. He knows how to act. Unfortunately, because the sea area where the operation this time is not domestic territory, his troops can not do the mission freely.

About three snipers stationed on the bridge of the warship, which is now the mission's control center, were already preparing to fire when they were ordered. Meanwhile, several lifeboats have been lowered into the waters and are trying to approach the yacht while carrying iron stairs that they will attach to the deck fence.

They had been preparing to ambush since one day ago, but the operating permission of the higher-ups had still not been granted. This was compounded by the presence of other nations' navies stationed to observe his troops. Realizing that he could not take a step freely made Lieutenant Colonel Ravindra ignited emotions.

"It can't be delayed anymore, sir. There were already three fatalities among the hostages."

He was in long-distance communication with the central command. If they continue to be caught up in negotiations to seek operating permission, the pirates will again kill the hostages.

As he fell further into anger over an unsatisfactory answer, one of his subordinates came to face him.

"Interruption, Commander!"

Lieutenant Colonel Ravindra invited him to speak.

"The pirates are threatening to kill one more hostage if we still don't meet the demands!"

The demand in question is a ransom of 20 million dollars.

The domestic government was unwilling to meet the demands demanded and chose to send anti-piracy special forces to resolve the issue. Meanwhile, the country where the piracy took place banned all military activity from the armies of other countries. This is what makes Lieutenant Colonel Ravindra isolated until now. He can't save the hostages because of the egos of both countries.

As Lieutenant Colonel Ravindra prepared to re-contact the central command, another soldier entered his room in a hurry. He gave the report without asking permission first.

"Commander, the sound of gunfire has been confirmed! The pirates on the bridge started to show strange movements!"

There was no time to contact the central command. In order to save the hostages, he decided to make a tough decision. Lt Col Ravindra intends to violate the ban issued by this country.

"Show the situation inside the bridge! All snipers prepare to fire and command Team A and Team B to board the ship in thirty seconds!"

"Ready, Commander!"

After the two subordinates left the room, an LCD screen in front of him started to light up, displaying the state of the bridge recorded through a special drone camera that floated about 20 meters from the bridge. There were about five pirates who took two officers hostage. All five look like they are wary of the door that connects the bridge with the lobby hallway.

When Lieutenant Colonel Ravindra noticed the situation inside the bridge for a while, a voice suddenly sounded from the wireless communicator attached to his ear.

"Alpha, green."

"Charlie, green."

"Beta, green. Ready to shoot."

All three sounds came from the three snipers who were on the bridge of the ship. They have locked three of the five pirates inside the bridge.

Lieutenant Colonel Ravindra could have ordered them to open fire immediately. However, the two remaining pirates have the potential to shoot hostages. Not to mention the other pirates who may be inside the hull and ready to attack the hostages right after realizing that they are under attack.

Considering this, Lieutenant Colonel Ravindra did not immediately give orders. He waited for Team A to climb onto the deck and make them attack simultaneously. However, before he could give an official order, the five pirates suddenly shot at the door they had been wary of.

When the five stopped firing and replaced the gun magazine with a new one, Lieutenant Colonel Ravindra saw a little girl running into the bridge. His small hand clasped an AK-47 rifle and started shooting as the muzzle pointed at the pirates.

The bridge room had now turned into a sea of blood when they had a gunfight.

Other countries' naval forces began to react when their military activities were confirmed. They ordered Lieutenant Colonel Ravindra to stop his troops, but he did not care. He just focused on staring at what the LCD screen showed in front of him without being able to say anything.

Three pirates were shot down in less than five seconds. However, unfortunately two other pirates managed to shoot the girl right in the head. The silence that followed made Lieutenant Colonel Ravindra freeze in place.

He immediately woke up the next second. Unwilling to miss this opportunity, Lieutenant Colonel Ravindra immediately gave the order.

"b-h ... Alpha, Beta, fire!"

"Beta, the target is eliminated."

"Alpha, the target's been eliminated."

"good job. Team A, Team B, set up an ambush!"

The ambush only lasted about two minutes. All the pirates were confirmed to have died even before the ambush team boarded the ship. According to the testimony of the hostages, the death of the pirates was caused by a little girl. Unfortunately, none of them knew about the identity or knew the girl deeply.

Lieutenant Colonel Ravindra sat leaning back in his chair while sighing as if he could not believe what he was going through.

That brave little girl was probably killed on the spot. But his name will always be remembered by the people as a savior. His services will never be forgotten.

The body of the little girl who was supposed to be inside the bridge room has disappeared. The captain of the ship said that his body just vanished right in front of him.

***

Inside a certain shopping mall restaurant located on a certain island, a girl who might still be around fifteen years old was sitting on one of the chairs. Her brown curly hair was tied in a ponytail style. Her face and skin color do not indicate that she is Asian, but she seems to be quite fluent in using local formal language.

"So the government decided to tell me?"

The girl spoke quite eloquently while chewing a plate of fresh vegetables in front of her. His brown eyeballs looked towards a black-haired Asian teenage girl sitting opposite him. He may be about twenty years old.

"I've guessed, you knew about this news even before the government reported it."

The Asian girl replied with a much more polite and formal language. Though, the brunette girl was clearly much younger than herself, but the impression of respect shown through her attitude could be clearly seen.

"Not everything. I'm only aware of an anomaly in certain ip addresses. Since there was no harm yet, I did nothing." his right hand took out a glass of water and gulped it down several times. "What are they reporting?"

"Foreign robot, railgun, and an inscription. Also, the sighting of a little girl who suddenly emerged from nothingness and vanished a few seconds later in front of some credible eyewitnesses."

The black haired girl handed him a piece of paper that read something. The content of the writing is a confession about the person from the future and the possibility of a third world war.

After reading it a glance, the brown-haired girl threw away the paper while sneering.

"Stupid. If he were from the future, this world would collapse. If you want to make a joke, at least use a little of your intelligence. I guess he's just a brainless guy who brags about nonsensical things."

Hearing such an insulting answer, the black-haired girl sighed before asking again.

"If it's not from the future, is it possible for visitors or even pirates?"

"Not really. Visitors would not dare to come without my permission. All the pirates should know that we are gathering here, they will not dare to come. Besides, my subordinates didn't detect anyone coming here."

"Then, what should we do? Do we have to send people to investigate?"

In response to the question, the brown-haired girl revealed a faint smile on her lips.

"Nothing to worry about. I'll go myself. If it doesn't do any harm, let's step back and let the government handle it. Our enemies are many, I don't want to add any more enemies because it will be very troublesome."

"Understand, Commander Tyraell."

Along with her sentence, the black-haired girl stood up and left the restaurant.

Note :

Karen: Tumben on Sunday?

Thor: Your debut Tyraell has finally appeared!

Karen: Who's Tyraell? New chara?

Thor: Yes! This Abis you can no longer carelessly do mein this on our beloved earth!

A little profile about the brunette :

Name: Cinderella Marquella Tyraell

Nicknames: Festival Ambassador; Perfect Imitation; Doppleganger.

The features of his face were more like a Canadian bule but had absolutely no European or American blood. He is a strategist in the simulation of war, so many people who respect him and often asked for advice in implementing a strategy. Even so, this nature is rather barbaric like the Karen. Even though he was only 8 years old, he was typical of geniuses who could learn in his school, but pendiem and gapunya temen. One thing that is unique about him, this guy is a vegetarian.

Funfact: Tyraell is one of the oldest original characters ever. I even meant to make a story where he was the MC. This Chara I first made in 2014 when I used to play the game Galaxy Online II and dapet one of the good legendary commanders named Singhri. Tyraell's stats, likes, and abilities were almost exactly the same as Singhri's.

For those who don't know Singhri, here's his background and ability in the game :

Yes, Singhri is a copycat.
