BY VIRTUE OF OUR DEEDS, HUMAN FLESH IS WHAT FEEDS OUR STRENGTH, IT CARRIES SPIRITUAL PERSONS, THE LEGEND IS TRUE! WHEN WE FEED ON THE FLESH THAT CARRIES THE HUMAN WEIGHT, OUR STRENGTH ALONG WITH THAT OF THE DEAD HUMAN ADDS UP, I, MALIK! I HAVE EATEN MORE THAN 1000 HUMAN MEATS, THERE IS NO WEAKNESS IN ME, MY PAINS, ARE ABSOLUTELY FLEETING, MY PAIN IS UNDONE BECAUSE THE HUMAN FLESH BUILDS ME UP.

?: A! HUMAN STRENGTH!

? 02: A! HUMAN STRENGTH!

? 03: A! HUMAN STRENGTH!!!

? 04: A! HUMAN FORCE!

Everyone started shouting the same phrase over and over again.

Yuki: LUAN WON'T STAND ALONE!

Luan: WRAAAGGHHHHH!!! YOU SOMETHING!!!

PLUCK" "PLUCK" "PLUCK" "PLUCK" "PLUCK" "PLUCK" "PLUCK" "PLUCK" "PLUCK"

[Running]

...

Luan: UUHHHHHHHGGGGG!!! (But-but what strength is that now!?)

Yuki: There's something going on with Luan, but I can't quite see it...

Malik: Can you see... as I am on a higher level than all beings, it's a spiritual summation, the more of the human in me, the less human I am, do you understand that? THE CLOSER TO GOD I GET!

Luan: Psuchh! [spitting blood] YOU ARE A BITCH, YOU SAY YOU'RE CLOSER TO GOD, YOU'RE IN A FUCKING SHIT, YOUR FACE IS UGLESS THAN THE SHIT I DO IN THE BATHROOM!!!

Malik: ...

...

Come on!

Luan: (I CAN'T GIVE UP!!!!) WAGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!! I'M GOING TO FINISH YOU OFF!!!

TOMAA!!!

"BOAAAAMMMMMMMM"

Luan: AGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! (DENOVO THIS ATTACK!?)

DENOVOOOOO, WRAGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

"BOOOOOOAAAMMM"

Luan: UGHHGGGGGGGG!!!

ONE MORE TIME!!!

WRAAAGGHHHHHHHGHHHH!!!

While Luan was getting beaten, Jeager slowly got up and walked towards Luan.

Jeager: Lu-Luan, stop being a pussy... And fight like a man against him....

Where's your, "STRENGTH OF WILL" FUCK!!!

Jeager again fell to the ground worn out from his two fights.

Malik: Jeager "The Loser" over here... What good meat...

Luan: (Malik... is not stronger... is only more confident... it is his faith in something combined with doing that is producing this strength in him... I HAVE FAITH THAT I CAN DEFEAT MALIK IN THIS SHIT!)

MALIK! YOU BASTARD!!!

I ran out in front of Malik, kicked the sewer water on him...

But he didn't even react...

FUCK INTELLIGENCE IN THE FIGHT!!!

I ran back towards him and started exchanging punches.

Malik was hurting me badly but I promised him I wouldn't go down.

"POWWWWWWWWWWW"

"BEAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM"

"BAAAAAMMMMMMMMM"

"BEAAAAMMMMMMMMMMM"

Yuki: Those two, they don't give up... how is Luan putting up with all that!!!?

Malik: UGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Luan: UUHHHHHHHHGGGGG!!!

It was a simultaneous punch, both of them hitting each other at the same time.

"BEAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMM"

"POWWWWWWWWWWWWWW"

Again they both hit each other simultaneously

And again and again and again. Malik was bleeding but showed no weakness. As for Luan, you could see his strength draining away.

Yuki: NO MORE! NO MORE! LUAN... IS STANDING UP BECAUSE OF HIS WILLPOWER! HE DOESN'T EVEN LISTEN TO ME ANYMORE.

Luan: I... have to put an end to this face.

I started repeating these words over and over, I couldn't see so much anymore, but one thing I could see perfectly was the image of Malik all fucked up on this shitty floor, that was all that was in my mind.

Yuki came running towards me, leaving Jeager in the middle of the darkness.

Yuki: LUAN LOOK AT ME!!! I'M GOING TO FIGHT TOO I CAN'T STAND TO SEE YOU GET BEATEN ANYMORE, YOU DID YOUR BEST------

Luan: AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

I went crazy for good....

I shot toward Malik.

"POWWWW" "POWWWWWW" "POWWWWWW" "POWWWWWW"

"POWWWW" "POWWWW" "POWWWW" "POWWWW"

Malik: "TSUACHRRR" [CUSPING BLOOD]

...

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

The two begin to fight intensely, the strength of their punches were abnormal, you could hear the snapping of bones breaking with each punch that was thrown from one to the other, one wanted to finish the other no matter what, their subordinates just watched the fight, they didn't get into anything.

Luan: MALIKKKKKKKK!!!!

Malik: WAGGGGHHHHHH!!!!

"POWWWW" "POWWWW" "POWWWW" "POWWWW"

Again a huge exchange of punches....

A song starts playing.... Requiem Of Silence...

Yuki: Luan... stop... We only have you who completes the team...

Luan: And what do you want me to do? There's NO OTHER OPTION, IF WE RUN, ONE TIME THEY WILL FIND US! [Tears] NO-NO! To run, I wasn't taught that, [Crying] I've run from too many things and only got screwed, everything I didn't face, came back worse later, I-I can never give up... this pain... will pass, but what I stop doing won't!

So...

I have to fight... for everyone... I saw my whole life my father controlling my brother, my sister and my mother, with the money, everyone needed him, he is evil, he did terrible things, I don't want those people to go through that... ever again, that's why I carry this giant weight, it's not just my peace but everyone's peace!!!

All I want is strength and courage to fight, that's why you see me so connected to God, he helps me overcome challenges, he rekindles my hopes....

I WILL WIN THIS FIGHT!!!

BECAUSE IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT ME!!! BUT YES! ABOUT EVERYONE WHO WALKS WITH ME!!!

I DECIDE ON MY OWN! TO CARRY THIS WEIGHT, AND I CARRY IT WITH FAITH AND STRENGTH TO FIGHT!!!

After that speech Luan and Yuki's hopes rose, while Malik stood still without speaking a word.

Luan changed his fighting pose:

"Vale Tudo"

Vale Tudo is within his understanding of fighting, all the martial arts known to its bearer in one pose.

Malik began to laugh extremely loudly:

Malik: HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!!!

I advanced towards Malik and stopped in front of him.

...

Yuki: Luan won't attack!

Malik Attacked.

Voushhh [deflection]

...

"Vuuu" "Vuuu" "Vuuuuu" "Vuuu" [Consecutive Punches]

"Voushhhhh" "Voushhh" "Voushhh" "Voushhh" [Deflections]

Malik threw several consecutive punches at me but I dodged them all.

"VUUUUUUUUUUUU" "VUUUUUUUUUUUU" "VUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU" [Consecutive Punches]

Malik began to use all his strength to attack Luan!

"Voushhhhh" "Voushhh" "Voushhh" "Voushhh"

[Deflections]

Again I dodged them all.

Malik: WRAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!

"VUUUUUUUUUUUUU" "VUUUUUUUUUUUUU" "VUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"

[Consecutive Punches]

"Voushhh" "Voushhh" "Voushhh" "Voushhh"

[Detours]

In the midst of the crossfire, I held one of his arms, just as he went to try to attack me with the other, I held him as well.

Malik: HAMM!?

I pulled both his arms back and grabbed him.

Malik: WHAT IS THAT!? WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!!?

I looked him right in the eye and screamed!

Luan: THIS IS HOW YOU EAT YOURSELVES!?

I bit his nose so hard I pulled a piece out.

Malik: AGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Malik started kicking me desperately but I wouldn't let go for anything.

Luan: WRAAAGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!

"PLUCKKKK"

We fell to the ground, I bit his nose much harder, tearing off another piece.

Malik: STOP!!! AGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! PLEASE!!! STOP!!!

Luan: YOU SOMETHING!!!

"POWWWW" BEAAMMMMMM"

"POWWWW" "POWWWWWW" "POWWWWWW" "POWWWWWW"

"POWWWW" "POWWWW" "POWWWW" "POWWWW"

Luan: TOMAAAAA THIS YOUR SON OF A BITCH!!!!!

"BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM"

Malik: Agh... aaaaagh... agghhh...

...

Luan: ... I ... I defeated... That... Fi-Daughter of.

"PLUCK"

I fell... I was broken bones, bleeding and all screwed up....

His subordinates looked extremely amazed, as if they had never seen their boss lose a fight in their lives.

They stood there looking at each other not accepting what had just happened.

Yuki ran out, grabbed me by my arm, and we dragged each other away.

Malik's subordinates didn't even pay attention to us leaving, they just stayed in the same place and went to take care of their boss right there.

Yuki: LUAN! LUAN! Damn he won't wake up, JEAGER! JEAGER!!!

Jeager: ... Hi Yuki are you alright?

Yuki: Luan! Jeager! We need to take care of him!

Jeager: ...I know, but... what do you want me to do? Do you want me to get naked so I can tie my underwear on his wounds?

Yuki: Jeager, you really don't change, do you? Even wounded like this you can still make jokes about things.

Jeager: The truth is it hurts like hell... My whole body... I just make jokes to forget this pain, if only for a few seconds. Jeager: [Weakening]

This way Luan will end up dying... we must do something, we must do something JEAGER!

Jeager: What can we do? There's nothing we can do...

...

Yuki: Damn it JEAGER! YOU NEVER FIND A SOLUTION FOR ANYTHING! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO PRACTICALLY PUT US HERE, DO SOMETHING!

Jeager: (I've never seen Yuki like this... she's desperate about Luan, but damn it!)

Meanwhile in a totally unknown place:

?: Chief Jeager's team is in critical condition you asked me to let you know when this happens...

Chief Unknown: Perfect... Hmmm...

?: Not only that, their newest member, Luan Bani is in critical condition, he will die if he is not taken care of.

Yukata Maeno: I DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS SHRIMP, I WANT TO KILL JEAGER WITH MY OWN HANDS!!!

*Tuk*

[Someone approaching]

?: That's- that's the- that's the- the Asylum Tigers Commander... CASPER COOPER!

Casper: I think you better calm down Yukata... You are important for our research, you stayed alive after ingesting so many drugs at the same time, and you really have an impressive overdose defense...

Yukata: Thanks Casper, now let me do the talking! I want to kill Jeager Manafu myself, I want to ask you to bring him back, and arrange a fight in the last tower, me against him only, and if possible with all the prisoners watching.

Casper: I want Jeager alive whether you are involved or not, but to be honest what interests me the most is the boy.

Yukata: WHAT! ARE YOU REFERRING TO THE NEW MEMBER OF "SOULSFIRE" LUAN BANI!?

Casper: That's the one...

Yukata: What do you mean!? This guy is just a kid, he is lucky to have found Jeager, otherwise, he surely wouldn't last even a day.

Casper: I understand you think that way... but did you know that this boy defeated one of my best security guards, if not the best, Trevor Burner... and moreover he defeated Hannibal Malik just now in the Underground...

Yukata: WHAT! BUT HE DIDN'T EVEN LOOK THAT STRONG WHEN I FOUGHT HIM, HOW CAN THIS BE HAPPENING?

Casper: He doesn't look strong at all! Or is it just you who didn't notice!?

Didn't you realize that he defeated Ikega in a matter of a few minutes, he wanted to help Jeager because he knew you were stronger than him.

Also, this kid is a little more involved than usual but I can't reveal that to you.

Fx Guards: So this is the boy who defeated Hannibal Malik.

02 Fx Guards: I once saw Malik literally eat a guard while we were trying to control him.

03 Fx Guards: Once he almost escaped from the dungeon but said he was afraid to stop eating people, stone crazy guy!

Yukata: I see, now I understand, are you telling me not to kill him or Jeager!?

Casper: No, not at all, I don't want you to take it easy on anyone, this boy's willpower will determine whether he stays alive or not, but since you and I have an interest in Jeager, I want you to go down there and rescue them.

It's extremely dangerous down there, Malik has practically set up a sect of cannibals, if they see you they will definitely have to fight, you go with 6 Guards, I will give you the key to open the gate to the Underground, one of the guards will also have a key in case he finds any deviation in the objective, I want you to bring only Jeager, Luan and Yuki are not of my hidden interests...

Yukata: You just said that Luan has potential-----

Casper: Yukata... Just do as I say. Just this, and I will guarantee you your fight at the last Rank, with the best fighters watching....

Yukata: (Well... If he's already screwed why not finish him off right there, I never looked forward to a fair fight, just to finish his race with my own hands... HAHAHAHAHA... HAHAHAHAHAHA, I WILL KILL YOU JEAGER, YOU CAN BET ON IT... THEN I WILL BE THE BEST OF THE 2 RANKS, AND THEN I WILL GAIN RESPECT FROM THE NEXT LEADER... ZAFARI NAOKO! THERE WILL BE NOTHING TO STOP MY PLANS, THE ONLY THING STOPPING ME NOW IS...

...

YOU!

JEAGER MANAFU!!! YOU WILL BE KILLED BY ME TONIGHT IN THE DUNGEON OF DARKNESS!)

Casper: Everybody understood!?

Guards: UNDERSTAND COMMANDER CASPER!!!

Casper: Understood Yukata!? Yukata?

Yukata: Hello! Understood Commander Casper!!!

Calm down! I want to ask you one more thing...

Casper: Go ahead.

Yukata: Allow me to take my team members Ikega and Sachi.

Casper: hmmmmm...

...

Just Ikega, I'd like to see how he would react when he sees his opponent who defeated him in an all finished state.

Yukata: (Well, at least Ikega will be able to come with me, I won't ask or say anything else, otherwise he might be suspicious of my plan, it will be one less and... Ikega, is the weakest member of my team... IT DOESN'T MATTER!!! I WILL FINISH JEAGER OFF WITH OR WITHOUT HELP, REGARDLESS OF WHAT HAPPENS!!!).

LET'S GO!!!

At that same Instant Yukata and the guards immediately went to the Underground.

"Tuk" "Tuk" "Tuk" "Tuk" "Tuk" "Tuk" "Tuk"

[Walking]

Yukata: (I'M HOLDING HIMSELF NOT TO RUN OUT OF HERE, MY BLOOD.... TA FERFENDO! HOW FIREY!!! This insatiable thirst to break up with Jeager, and as if everything bad that has happened to me is his fault....

And if it is his...).

Guard 01: Yukata can you hear me?

Yukata: O-O-I-I am, yes you can.

Guard 01: Yukata, Casper told us to introduce ourselves, he said we could work together more often, it's not like I want to work with a detainee like you, but I am just obeying orders.

Starting with me my name is: Jeff Bronks

Guard 02: [Step forward] Manuel Gomes Da Silva aka "Muralha

Guard 03: [Step forward] Mark Black Known as "Bombadinho

Guard 04: [Step forward] Adam Smith

Guard 05: [Step forward] David Martinez

Guard 06: [Marching onward] Musashi Miyamoto

Jeff: Okay, that's everyone's name.

Yukata: I get it, let's go rescue this jerk Jeager.

Wall: Why are you in such a hurry Yukata?

Yukata: I want to at least punch that bastard in the face!

Adam: Let's go, I need to finish my manga.

Wall: Wait a minute, you never told me you made a manga.
