1 The Young Rider

Since ancient time, there's no place on Earth that is so mysterious except The Bermuda Triangle. Ships and airplanes that passing here was disappear and no traced. The Bermuda Triangle is a line of imagination, a line drawn from The Florida region of United States, Bermuda Island, and the country of Porto Rico. When ship arrived in the water of Bermuda Triangle, the sailors thought is was near the mainland because it encountered many algea, but in fact they still very far from the mainland. Colombus, the inventor of the American continent, named the Bermuda Triangle as "Sargasso", which means seaweed. The compass needle dies while in this area. In this region there is no wind, so the sailboat can not move, and sailors die of starvation. Strangely, the powerful and majestic ship, which sailed in fine weather, also vanished without trace. For 57 years, there have been 125 aircraft accidents in this area, and all are not found. Some argue, there is a burst of methane gas, which can drown the object nearby, but research does not show there is a burst of methane in the Bermuda Triangle.

What is the really happened with the Bermuda Triangle? Here's the answer! The Deadly Triangle is the seat of UWe (UnderWorld) government. UWe is the Land of Ghosts led by Emperor Lucifer, and his other names is UWe-1 and Triple Six. The emperor is assisted by some kings who are based on the work area. Uniquely, the working area is divided as human area, so there are UWe of Indonesia, UWe of Japan, UWe of Indian, UWe of United States, and other UWe branches. The kings under Lucifer presided over the UWe branch of the country, and were directly responsible to Emperor Lucifer in the Bermuda Triangle. The kings in every UWe country is UWe-2 and assisted by: UWe-3 (prime minister), UWe-4 (governor), UWe-5 (mayor), UWe-6 (sub-district), etc. The system of UWe government's is ​​cheating of human-style government idea. It's just that leaders in the Land of Ghosts are appointed by superiors, not by democracies. Appointment based on work performance, so UWe people vying to do evil. Each position has its own facilities, and this is what often leads to betrayal among them, because they want to get special facilities. But their motto is one: "To Mislead Human".

The sate of UWe took and raised the bodies of the dead humans to be people and soldiers. Not surprisingly, if a young man die, because his body is considered still good, the UWe are scrambling to get it and that is solved by a fight. Since Adam and Eve descended from Heaven, Lucifer began to work hard, to mislead their grandchildren. Lucifer's first victim was Qabil, who killed Abel. Usually, the villages or city of UWe is underground, located five kilometers below the tomb.

The activities of UWe people is like humans, but they multiply by dividing. To breed is not easy, there must be special achievements and by a permission of the Emperor. UWe people able to sick, human bodies which they use can be destroyed, but they can not die. Actually, not only the human body that infiltrated, but also the bodies of animals and plants. But the human corpse is the best. The spirit world is not bound by natural law, if UWe not using human body then can go anywhere, as they will. No sea or mountain can block. In fact, if they want, they can freely take a walk to the Sun, Moon, and Stars.

Like a spider web that has a central point, the UWe center point is UWe-1, and the Bermuda Triangle as its qibla. As a qibla of darkness, UWe-1 is not acceptable to humans who disturb the existence of the Bermuda Triangle. The emperor hated the noise, so all the activities that were in the throne's location should be eliminated. The Awesomeness of Bermuda Triangle is a signal to humans, that there is "something very dangerous" behind the glitter of world life. UWe, the Land of Darkness, ready to drown man at the darkest point, Hell.

One day, Lucifer gathered the kings of darkness from all over the world. There is something very important to say. "The forecast of thousands years ago, now, is almost a reality. I sniffing, that the girl who was whirling around with a smoky iron, already in sight, "exclaimed Lucifer at the UWe International Conference. "If the UWe does not take her body, then she will be a very strong enemy. Search! Kill her and take here her body!" The announcement of the Supreme Emperor became an absolute command. Since the conference, every king of darkness ordered his ranks and people to find the girl in the prophecy.

On one day, there was a pair of UWe that was hovering over the area of ​​Yogyakarta. They were class officers (UWe-6) and urban village heads (UWe-7), who had recently attended the lunar village (UWe-7) delegation at Parangtritis Beach. In the deliberation of the figure of darkness that is the main discussion is Lucifer's prophecy. In addition, it is also discussed about the fewer casualties drowned in the southern coast of Java. "Uh, there's nothing, we're told to find a girl who spinning with smoky iron," grumbled the lazy UWe.

"UWe-4 is not satisfied with the tsunami disaster victims in Aceh, and the earthquake of this city. Arn't these two disasters we've got hundreds of thousands of human corpse?" said UWe-5.

"He said, the number is still less. He is afraid of a lot of UWe Indonesian branch soldiers who do not get human bodies, so, able to be civil war," said UWe-7.

"Hundreds of thousands of human corpse, if only from Indonesia, we have not counted from other countries!" said UWe-5, "it is also new from the victims of the tsunami and earthquake, not from the traffic accident victims, dengue fever, malaria, heart disease, and others."

"You said it, not yet calculated the victims of the dead for fear of ghosts, he-he," said UWe-6, laughing.

Suddenly, UWe-5 sees interesting object on a street. UWe-5 shouted to his friend, "Look at that street, there's a new corpse candidate!" Yes, there's a girls who speeding with a mini-motor. "Come on, please more faster and hit a power pole!" The two UWe exclaimed and very excited. But, the girl who is expected to have an accident is very agile, there is no sign of an accident. "Outrageous, our hope is hopeless!" UWe-6 said, disappointed.

UWe-5 said, "You enter to her body. Get her to hit something, influence hes mind so she can't concentrate!"

UWe-6 immediately dashed toward the girl who was riding the motorcycle. But it was not long before he returned to his boss and reported that he could't stand the smell that coming out of the girl. "The smells very strange, as the smell of chicken feses. I'm not willing to get close to her," said UWe-6.

"We'll follow that girl. If she die, her corpse will different from the corpse kids of her age. If she die and I use her corpse, then I become a respected UWe!" said UWe-5. Secretly, Uwe-7 clenched his fists, because he also targeted the girl's corpse in order to be promoted. They followed the run of the motorcycle.

Who's followed by the two demons? She was Ze and her motorcycle which named Blop. Ze was having a headache, but not because of flu, either the common cold, bird flu, especially swine flu. Since her handphone crowed out an SMS signal from Mok-Mok, the lead of her class, she was dizzy. It's because she has been rash, unbeknownst by the Class Representative Council, she used the class money to repair Blop, her mini motorcycle. Indeed, since elementary school Ze was often believed to be the treasurer of the class, because she looks innocent, so considered fit to become finance minister. Now, the trust will fade, if she did not immediately get the money replacement. To be honest with her friends, she did not have a braveness, to be exact, to have no courage. One of her own, she did not have the heart to see Blop broken for half a month, so it could't be used to race at Jalan Gejayan. Blop at a machine shop, got off the machine at Om Yo's workshop, and paid by the class money.

Ze was in second grader of junior high school. She was only a student in the school who have a habit of speeding with a small motor. His parents, Haji Bod and Hajjah Bod were skipper chickens and a wealthy families that supplying chicken to catering companies and other food stalls in Yogyakarta. In fact, the palace was not satisfied if the chicken obtained not from Haji Bod chicken. By his parents, Ze was given the task of delivering chickens to some stalls. She did the job during the day, after school. Her parents and employees got up early, slaughtering chickens and pull out the feathers. Thus, Ze's house was very feared by all chickens. The rooster who claims to be a very shuddering hero, when hearing Ze's home is called, will be very fear. The naughty chicks often frightened by their mother that they will be brought to Ze's house. For all chickens, Ze's home is considered haunted because there's many chicken ghosts.

Ze mini motor was the legacy of Momo, her older brother, but it by a black and white agreement, that Ze should replace Momo's duties to deliver chicken to clients. Her beloved brother retired from duty because of boarding school in East Java. After all, the mini motor was better maintained in her hands than by her brother. Actually, Momo named the 50 cc motor the Cat. But Ze did't like the name, so with a small fiesta in the cafeteria, she askede her friends for blessing. The name of Blop was chosen because there was an impression of robot. The motor was also changed its color, was repainted to resemble the color of the garden frog. Dark brown, she said so as not to get caught if dirty after delivering chicken.

Only one shortage of Blop, the typical chicken smell, so that people will close the nose when Ze passes. A typical smell, a blend of chicken dung and chicken sweat. Ze also wonder, although Blop was bathed seven times a day, it's also still smelly. But Ze able to accept Blop as it is, like she accept Wewex, her best friend who very likes to take dirt of nose.

Ze's body tends to be thin and tall. Often mocked able to fall if hit by wind. After all, when it's over the Blop saddle, everyone will be amazed and at the same time horrified to see her action. Very lively, and when it's relapse speeding, everyone will stroke the chest and shake their head. Her uniforms after school was jean pants and t-shirts, plus a leather jacket if she taked out the Blop from the garage. One of her jeans had been torn, had been targeted by the museum, but still worn. When protested by his mother or father, she answered that it was a talisman which gift by her teacher. The physics teacher, means! Only on women's day event that Ze looks elegant, for being forced to join fashion contest. Yes, she also a beauty girl as a model.

Ze, have you practiced corruption? That is not so, because her personal cash was empty, then the idle money was used first. Later, when receiving a salary will be replaced. But, the plan was chaotic because Concom's mother was hospitalized, because of dengue fever. It;s a solidarity of friendship, they are dues for Concom's mother, even though the donation was like a droplet of sweat in a puddle of basin. Because the Concom family was a rich. Yes, it's only a solidarity. Then, Ze confused when Mok-Mok ordered to set up funds.

Asking money to parents was not the best way, she knows his parents' temperament. Especially if she asked for salary in front, will be scolded. She was trained in financial discipline, but since there was a Blop, she often broke the rules that had been applied. Especially in financial terms. Ze wasteful in the make-up of a favorite motorcycle. Blop's accessories are strange, and now she's very confused. "The payday is still fifteen days later. Now I can't buy snack and can't treat my friends. Okay, that's okay because it's just a private matter. But what about the cash class? "In the confusion she directed Blop to the Field Gejayan, not far from IKIP Yogyakarta, which now become the State University of Yogyakarta. On the square, there was almost a week of fair.

In some bend, she curved like in the racetrack, until the hole in the pants knee is more wide open and there will be patches again. Ze will meet a person who met a few days ago on the road. He was a crew of the death well stand. He was an old man who helped her to fix the Blop chain. He knew the old man was the death well crew. Because some time ago, when she's treated by Wewex to watch the crazy motor show, when the show yet not started, she saw the old man at the bottom of the stage the death well. He was busy with the motors which will be used attractions. Ze thought that the old man was the rider, but he was not. The rider was the other man.

UWe-5 and UWe-6 are shocked when knew that Ze went to a stage. Yes, the stage of the death well which made of wooden planks, which formed as a tube with the bottom slightly narrowed. The diameter of the stage was about five meters and ten meters high. The audience looked at from the top, circling in a circle around the pit of the stage. The bound of the death well's game is the end of tube. When the players passes the bound, they can be thrown out, and it's became a big disaster for the players and the audience. But the action was not up to the edge of the stage bound, but if there was an audience who brandish a pack of cigarettes or sheets of money, then swiftly grabbed. The audience was very tense.

Since the fairs was held, Ze had seen the death well for many times and not bored. Perhaps, her soul to race wanted to dothe same. Could she be with Blop challenged to try the narrow speeding arena? "Horrible!" Ze whispered, imagined the deadly motorist, must be very dizzy, as it spun quickly across the tube wall. But her conscience wanted to try the challenging game, but how? Apparently, the intention will be accomplished, because yesterday, when Ze asked to buy flour by his mother, the bike broke down. The chain was loose. It was during her difficulty when the old man who at the bottom of the death well stage helped her.

"The old man, are you one of the death well crew?" Ze greeted at the time.

"Yes," the man replied. "You, it seems, are delighted with your mini-motor. Do you like motor racing? "

"Several times, but wild races, street class and always chased by the police," Ze replied, proud.

The man nodded. "Are you attracted to the death well action? I think that you're very brave girl."

"Oh, but that's very terrible! Excuse me, what is your name? "

"Call me Tong-tong Sot!" The old man answered, laughing.

"But how about I call you so easy? MR TTS!" Ze continued. The man laughed. "Mr TTS, are you a rider of the death well?"

"I've been playing as the rider for fifty years! But I've been retired for five years, a veteran class, a little elite! I'm eighty-five years old now, so from the age of twenty-five I became a rider."

"Ever fallen?"

"Ha-ha-ha, you're pushing me so you able refuse my offer! Is not it?" Mr TTS exclaimed.

Ze laughed. "Yes, but it's horrible to ride a motorcycle circling on a big wooden tube."

"Once done then you will be addicted."

"But I have not promised," Ze snapped.

Now, Ze was already in the fairs, beside the stand of the death well. The main motive was to find money, practically, when she receives the challenge, she will be honored. But Mr TTS had not been seen yet. Ze began to fidget until there was a voice addressed to her, "I'm here, sweet girl! Did you ask your parents' permission?" Exclaimed Mr TTS, cheerful. Ze nodded. "Good!"

"But I have not asked permission to be a rider of death wellm," Ze said. Mr TTS laughed and then invited Ze to the park next to the fairs, and they sat on a bench.

"When I first played the death well attraction I was using a bicycle. I'm frightened too, but eventually I enjoy it."

"You ride a bicycle? Is it right?"

"Yes, but the pedaling must be strong, because the key to the death well game is the speed of the vehicle used. If it is slowly, roll over! The death well players is a circus performer, so they must be healthy."

Ze nodded. "Then, if I be a death well player, will I earn money?"

"Of course! You are the main artist in the stand. Of course the owner will pay the artist!" Said Mr TTS. "Who knows, you'll on televison and become a celebrity!" The answer, slightly, parses the difficulty of classroom funding. "Ze, you remind me of my dead daughter. She was only my child. The cholera outbreak has taken her away, when she was pass away is about your age. When you fix your motorcycle chain, yesterday after tomorrow, I like seeing my daughter, she's done the same thing. So, I offer you to play the death well. Incidentally, the vanguard player was not available. Suddenly he had to go back to Klaten because his wife was sick.

"Mr TTS, did your daughter ever ride on the death well?"

"That's all we can use for life. She played a rider of death well for almost three years," Mr TTS lingered for a moment, his eyes was red and wet.

There's a stronger desire of Ze to play the death well action. She need instant money. But, would her parents allow? "I want to do it. But how, I'm very scared!" Ze said. But, the need to replace classroom cash was getting stronger.

"First, I invite you into a vicious cask tube. Practice for a while as an introductions. I'm sure you have no problem."

"Can I ride my own motorcycle?"

"Of course you can."

"But wait a minute, I show you something," said Mr TTS. The old man returned to the fairs arena, and not long afterwards, returned with a marble and a bamboo tubes. "Look, I put a marble in the bamboo tube. Slowly, I turned the tube. The marble begin to move in rotation, first at the bottom of the tube. But the sooner the marble spin the up on the bamboo wall, " said Mr TTS. "The riders of death well are just like that. The faster of gas is the faster the bike, and the motor speeding down the wall of the vicious stage. But if the speed is reduced, then the motor will go down."

"Must be very dizzy!"

"No! Trust me! Believe it or not, I'm getting better after the action. "Mr TTS then murmured something half whispered:" Time is me, space is me .... " Mr TTS handed his bamboo tube to Ze. "Please, rotate!" Ze turned the bamboo tube, the marbles spun, and climbed the bamboo tube wall very quickly.

That's when Ze decided, "I dare! But please keep an eye on me!"

"Of course," Mr TTS said pleasedly, "One more, you have to be confident!"

"Now I can try?"

"Come on!" Mr TTS said, and they headed for the fairs. Uwe-5 and Uwe-6 looked at each other, not knowing what the girl were going to do. When Arrived at the stage of the death well, Mr TTS told someone to open a wooden door, which was worn out into the motor and players into the large wooden tube. Ze guided Blop in, the wooden door closed again and locked. Mr TTS, Ze, and Blop are at the bottom of the stage. Ze looked up, very tall! "It's like in a dry well!" Ze exclaimed.

"The stage is designed in such a way that the death well players can comfortably ride a motorcycle. You should wear a helmet?" said Mr TTS. Ze nodded. Mr TTS handed over a very old helmet. Ze watched it for a while and used it. "The ancient helmet, which I have kept for years, may be Japanese."

"Mr TTS going out?" Ze asked.

"No, I stay here. I will not crash your motors, believe me! "Ze first hesitated. The Blop sparked, when Blop was already growling and stable, Ze stepped on the presnel, and slowly the clutch was released slowly. Blop sped, spinning slowly. "Add the speed!" Mr TTS exclaimed. Ze moves to second gear, then three with gas. Blop run faster and went up on the stage wall. Ze and Blop drove flat. The stage wall was the way. Ze's eyes had a momentary engagement, but after that normal again. Rengg ..... Renggg! The sound of Blop's voice was so boisterous that it was reflected against the wall of death well.

Uwe-5 and Uwe-6 stunned to see the death attraction, they were reminded by the prophecy of the leader of the girl circling with smoky iron. The two ghosts were hoping for an accident that took Ze's life. Because eagerly awaited nothing happened to Ze, UWe-5 can not stand so he decided to infiltrate into Ze's body. But Ze was in full awareness, the spirit of darkness can not enter her body, can not affect her mind. "Crazy, this girl is very tough! Emperor Lucifer will be very proud if we find this girl! "Exclaimed UWe-5. UWe-6 said, "Let's keep this girl as a secret! Otherwise, UWe in the whole world will be after her, and we lose ourselves! Look at, her bike is getting weaker, she's safe!"

Ze reduced the motor speed, Blop drops, then weakens and stops at the bottom of the stage. Mr TTS was very happy. "Extraordinary! Only a once a try, you able to do it! That's because you have a high confidence!"

Ze took off her helmet. For a moment she was astonished at her courage. "What if I get thrown out of the arena?"

"No, as long as there is a keeper! Have you never seen a death player with blindfolded? Those who blindfolded are never get a problem" said Mr TTS.

"The handler? Weird as well!" Ze exclaimed. "So, are you the keeper?"

"Ha-ha-ha, I'm only kidding! How, fun drove in a limited place?"

"I am short for a while, but after that it is fun, even though I do not see any scenery, besides the walls of the death well," Ze replied.

"How, are you willing to be a death well player?" asked Mr TTS. Ze nods, would do for the classroom cash. For them, Mr TTS picked up two bottles soft drink. "Tomorrow, at four o'clock, you play the death well action," said Mr TTS, smiled. After that Ze came home with ease, because Blop was not forced to run fast. And, it made two ghosts eyeing her body furious, not speeding was the means that Ze not got accident. They failed to get Ze's corpse. (*)
