Yukata: My flashlight is in trouble!

Ikega: Boss, if you want you can trade with me...

Voushh [Picking up the flashlight]

Yukata: HMMmmmm!

Wall: Chief, I can see some people in the back of the room...

Jeff: Easy wall, we're 8 here.

Musashi: And you don't think they're in great numbers too?

Let's walk the corners of the walls, this place is very open, I also learned talking to one of the teams that were killed down here, there is a certain guy whose no one knows his name or his face, they say he was one of the first prisoners here in the prison, he killed 20 guards at Rank 3 and ended up down here, they say that every group that comes here always ends up staying.

Wall: Shit! IS THIS REALLY TRUE?

Adam: Don't scream, dammit!

Musashi: I don't know, it's just a rumor, but I suggest we stay tuned to anything, any unidentified enemy movement could compromise the entire mission objective.

David: ...

Yukata, Ikega and the guards all took the path from the corner to the left of the Wall. To explain better, the dungeon is practically a square, the door is always to the north, Jeager's team was to the south, and there were also infrared cameras there, in this case, whoever looked through the cameras could identify everything that was happening there.

Wall: Hey listen to me! Remember I told you I saw some guys out there, they... just... disappeared...

Jeff: Hamm?

Wall: That's what I said! They were right there! But-but when we went to the corner of the wall they were gone...

Musashi: Hmmm... (They must be setting some kind of trap for us, with me here that won't happen, I also have to keep an eye on that story, since I've been a guard here, there was always someone left in the dungeon, my duty is to protect the team, I won't allow any casualties in this mission, THE OBJECTIVE MUST BE COMPLETED PERFECTLY!)

Hey, all of you, listen up! I'm going to talk fast so there's no time for the enemy to catch us off guard, so LISTEN CAREFULLY!

Yukata, and Jeff, you will take the lead of the squadron!

Musashi Miyamoto and Wall will take the middle of the squad!

Adam Smith, Ikega, David Martinez, and Pumpkin you will take the back of the squad!

Everyone clear!

All but one: Yes!

Yukata: And since when are you the boss!?

Musashi: Tell me something Yukata, I just gave you the place of honor to punch Jeager in the face, do you have any objections!?

Yukata: hmmmmm..... None.

Everyone... IN FORMATION!

The entire Team took the position, everyone was watching for any movement as they walked, there was only 180° to keep an eye on, and the rest was covered by the wall.

7 minutes passed...

*Pluck* *Pluck* *Pluck*

*Pluck* *Pluck* *Pluck* *Pluck* *Pluck*

[Running]

Ikega: CHIEF! SOMEONE'S COMING!

At that moment all the squadron members turned, but Musashi did not.

Musashi: (Maybe it's now, their attack since everyone has turned, if I turn too, they can attack us from the front, I'M SURE! THIS IS A TRAP!!!)

Ikega: HE'S GETTING CLOSER!!!

Wall: THIS guy is not going to get past me!!!

Musashi: !!!

DRUG! THERE'S MORE COMING!

*Finch: [Drawing out Katana]

Musashi: (There are 3, exactly three, unarmed and naked, to my right there is no one.).

Fx: *Slash* *SLASHHHH* SLASHHHHHHH*

Yukata: What was that that just happened!?

Yukata had turned to see what Musashi had done.

Musashi: HAMM!? THERE'S MORE!?

This time there were seven heading toward the squadron, they were split up occupying the full 90° angle.

Musashi: Not that one! If nobody helps me! They'll end up on our team! The idiot wall went to the back, I'll have to rely on Jeff!

JEFF, TAKE THE RIGHT! I TAKE THE FRONT!

Jeff: UNDERSTAND!

"Trunkk" [Drawing Gun]

*SLASHHHH*

*POW POW POW

*SLASHHHHHH* *SLASHHHHHH*

Jeff: Whoa...

Ikega: THIS guy's got a knife!

Ikega rushed to Musashi's side.

Musashi: WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!? YOU SHOULD TAKE CARE OF OUR-----

Wall: WHAT! THIS GUY WALKED RIGHT PAST ME! HOW!

Ikega: DREAM! I THINK HE'S GOING TO ATTACK ADAM!!!

Just as the stranger was about to stab Adam....

Yukata: TOMAAAAA ESSAAA!!!!!

Damn it!!! There's still more of them coming!

Ikega: CHIEF! I'M COMING WITH YOU! DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE!

Jeff: YUKATA! COME BACK HERE------ DAMN IT!!! THESE CANNIBALS KEEP COMING, WHO WAS THE CRAZY MAN WHO INVENTED THIS DUNGEON!?

Wall: Damn!!! Now it's two more of them gone, THESE CLOWNS, EI! LET THEM GO, WE'LL TAKE CARE OF THESE CANNIBALS!

Yukata: *Huun* *huuun* This sullen Musashi IS GOING TO STROKE MY PLAN!!!

Ikega: Yukata! Where are you!

Yukata: Ikega! I'm here, can you see me?

Ikega: No, I can't see, it's darker than before, this area is much darker for some reason.

Yukata: You're right, it is a lot darker, I'll try to turn on this flashlight, they gave me the one that is failing.

*Shuck* *Shuck* *Shuck* [Shaking the flashlight]

Wait a minute...

Did they give us both a failing flashlight?

Ikega: Yukata mine's not failing anymore...

*Voushh* [Picking up the flashlight]

Yukata: Hmmm!

Ikega: ... All right

But tell me where are we going?

Yukata: Listen here Ikega the plan was never to help these clowns out, I just want to kill Jeager with my own hands, if I arrived with them, I couldn't do that.

Ikega: But didn't the Chief promise you the fight last Ran-----

Yukata: FUCK that last rank, have you forgotten what this Jeager shit put us through? we spent a whole day without eating, I had to talk to the commanders to be able to get to Casper, if not, we would go back to the same, we would only eat once a day.

Ikega: ...

Yukata: We have to beat them to Jeager, wipe out his race, and then tell them that he tried to react and we have no other choice.

Ikega: Easy, but what about the cameras, what are you going to do about the cameras?

Yukata: hmmmm... (Ikega is right, if I get into a fight with Jeager and the cameras catch me, Casper will probably execute me, is it worth sacrificing myself to take Jeager Manafu's life?

?: You're not going anywhere...

Ikega: WHAT! WHO SAID THAT!?

Yukata: WHERE! FUCK YOU!!! [Looking at the flashlight from side to side]

?: If you follow me you'll have a better chance of getting out alive

chance of getting out of here alive, but if you refuse, I can't guarantee you'll have the slightest possibility of getting out of here...

Yukata: FUCK YOU! WHY SHOULD I TRUST YOU AT ALL?

?: Humn... humn... because our interests are very similar, you want Jeager and I want his partner, Luan Bani.

Ikega: CHIEF CO-HOW DOES HE KNOW YOU WANT JEAGER!?

Yukata: How do you know I want to finish Jeager off!? And another thing show your face!

*Pluck*

*Pluck*

*Pluck* [getting closer]

?: Hello Yukata...

Yukata: (What a strange guy, I don't know if I should trust him, but also if I don't trust him... maybe he will kill me, I have a bad feeling, I'm pretty sure we are surrounded by cannibals and our last hope is to trust a crazy guy like that...).

Okay, we'll follow you, but this better not be a trap, I'm much stronger than you think.

?: Hmmm... Easy Yukata Maeno everything in its own time...

Yukata: (HOW DOES THIS guy KNOW MY NAME!?)

How do you know my name?

?: I know many things... many things...

Yukata: HGGGGNNNN! [STRESSED]

Yukata wasn't even aware of the trouble he was getting into, cannibals aren't the least bit trustworthy, that's a fact!

*Pluck*

*Pluck*

*Pluck*

?: He he he he... HAAAAAAHAAAAAA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! [LAUGHING LOUDLY]

HOW DO YOU LIKE OUR HUMBLE ABODE?

Yukata: Holy crap... THIS... (THIS IS THE PICTURE FROM HELL...

HOW CAN THIS EXIST, WHO IS THE CRAZY MAN BEHIND ALL THIS, HOW CAN SOMEONE LIKE THIS EXIST...)

Ikega: CHIEF CHIEF! I-I-I WANT TO LEAVE!

WHAT IS THIS!? NO-IT'S NOT POSSIBLE, HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE DIED HERE? THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY, WE WILL BE NEXT! THERE IS NO ESCAPE, WHY DID YOU BRING ME ON THIS SUICIDE MISSION, WHAT DID YOU WANT?

Yukata: CALM IKEGA! I'm feeling the same way, we have to keep an open mind, okay? Do you think I'm not having the same questions as you? I've never seen anything like this before and I've been in this prison for three years, I'm sure that if I hadn't made that deal with Casper... Maybe... Aff... Forget it!

IKEGA STANDS FIRM!

Ikega: Right, Chief!

Yukata: Hey! You! What are you doing with us!?

?: Easy, easy... Take your time Yukata, have you ever heard that "Haste is the enemy of perfection!?" So have a little patience--------

Yukata: WHO SAID I'M UP FOR WAITING! JUST SAY WHAT-------

Ikega: CHIEF CALM! Look around... There are over 100 CANIBAIANS around us... Yukata, you better do what he's asking, I don't want to die here and I'm sure you don't.

Yukata: Ikega... [Astonished] (Wow I've never seen Ikega like this... he's right we can't be crazy here, I'll obey him... for now.)

I'm sorry, I'll follow you.

?: [Opening Smile] Very well Yukata, come, I'll show you the place and our plans.

"Pluck

"Pluck"

"Pluck

?: Well as we walk to our Barracks let me clarify our Goal, this place is called...

"UTOPIA"

We believe that if there is a junction, Polymerization, or Unification between all the bodies, one finds the Divine being, who becomes it to whoever claims possession of such, we strongly believe that every kind of Unification creates forces, that is, spiritual, mental, physical if we can join all the bodies into a single body... we would be....

THE HAND OF GOD!!!

If you think you have never seen something like this, and why you have never met the one who is in search of Mental and Spiritual Unification, he believes that if he controls people's mental, he can control their faith, this is very true if I could control someone's mind I could control their faith...

Have you ever stopped to think about when this is going to happen? What would you do? would you be the ones watching? Or the ones who have already lost before the fight even starts?

Ikega: (What's he talking about!? Crazier talk Unification of bodies, faith, mentality, this guy IS crazy and WE MUST GET OUT OF HERE ASAP!)

Yukata: (Haven't I heard this madness somewhere before? Where was it, will you remember...

...

It was when I was at the third rank in my hero journey...

I was in my best phase, they let me enter the guard's room quietly, which had a TV, Fan and even a gym, well ... was a good time I remember that there was a staircase there, but none of them could access, there was a division on each floor, 4 guards rooms to be exact, one of them gave access to another rank, without having to access the main door of passage.

So, out of curiosity, I joined a guard and we explored all divisions, when we decided to go back we saw Casper and Naoko going to their rooms, Casper was very stressed with something, Naoko was serious, I was dying of curiosity, for some reason this desire to know what was going on off stage was fulminating inside me!

The guard was afraid to go, he just went to the door, opened it, and locked me in, he said that if he needed to leave he just had to knock on the door 4 times and the last time had to be a strong knock, I was there in his room well hidden, Casper was screaming:

Casper: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING!? "UTOPIA"!? THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH "UTOPIA", IT HAS TO DO WITH THE BIRTH OF A NEW ERA, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO HAVE YOUR "UTOPIA" IN A GROUP.

Naoko: Calm down Casper... you are like a child, fighting because you gave a name to our ambition, understand that this name is for everyone to know what is to come, the new force in Union, Unification, and Polymerization of all Minds into one...

Casper: I apologize a thousand times for my childish way, contact our Superior leader, and tell him that... For my part there will be no more waiting, I will start the preparations today.

Naoko: Very well... I understand you are impatient with the plan, let's get to work TODAY!

"Tuk"

"Wreeeenk" [Door Opening]

"Tummmn" [Door Closing]

That day they left their room earlier than they normally do, and there was a pronouncement for the prisoners who were at the Last Rank.

I was still on the 3rd Rank but I couldn't hear it and for some reason, the guards couldn't either, apparently, it was just Casper and Naoko, but I'm pretty sure that some prisoner would attack them, it's impossible that they went alone...

[Back to Jeager]

Jeager: That's why I want to go to the last Rank at once.

Yuki: But didn't the prisoners leave!?

Jeager: Not all, there's exactly ONE who stayed... And for me it's a total mystery, Yuki you weren't here before, but there was a pronouncement from the leaders, one of them was called Casper, and the other one, I don't know who it was, it's not known for sure what they said or not, but, all the prisoners of the last rank just disappeared!

We didn't hear any screams or anything, they just weren't there.

In my research to find out about this... I had to contact the person I wanted least.

Yukata Maeno!

[Back to Yukata]

In a conversation with Casper he let it slip:

Casper: Yukata I want you to do small jobs for us, you don't mind tarnishing your image in here, don't you!?

Yukata: Not at all Casper.

Casper: I see... there is a certain young man who is very involved in our plans, he is a Rank 8 prisoner, I want you to execute him tonight, but it has to be a fight, fight him for a while and then stake him,

I need you to get everyone's attention, the guards are already warned that you will kill him.

Yukata: Okay, but why do you want us to ------

Casper: No questions, if you want to give up just say so.

Yukata: I will execute the mission!

Casper: As expected...

Yukata: And that's exactly what I did, but I took advantage of the situation to also do something else...

[Night Of 2022 - December 31]

It was the new year, exactly on that new year I was given this mission, there wasn't much cheer in the asylum, but everyone was acting as if it was a special day.
