Chapter 72 - Ultimate Test!! Who Will Take The Dragon Part??
Narrator- Elite Soldiers- 1 External
Ginto & Raiden- 5 Externals & 1 Internal
Noren- 1 External & 1 Internal
(Library, 2nd Floor, Abyss Prison, 10:38 a.m, Day 21) (One Day to go for the 8th External Dragon Part)
Zenji- Do not shout at me ever!! I don't like that!! Meeeee and my friends over here are going to commit self- mutilation!!
Livon(with a confused face)- .......
Narrator- Zenji had two other prisoners with him. All of them stood in a straight line, facing forward. One of the prisoners took out a knife. Zenji then sat on his knees and opened his arms wide.
Zenji- This is Justice!!
Narrator- The prisoner slashed the knife into Zenji's chest. With him on the ground, the other two prisoners began walking towards Livon.
Male Prisoner 1(to livon)- Why did you do this to him??
Male Prisoner 2(to livon)- He was our friend!! Our dear friend!! Then why did you assaulted him all of a sudden??
Itsumi(with a stunned face)- What the hell?!
Livon(to itsumi)- Step back itsumi!! These guys are psychos!!
Narrator- Male Prisoner 1, who was with the knife, then slashed Prisoner 2 on his right arm.
Male Prisoner 2(to livon)- Aaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!! Why are you doing this to us?? What did we even do to you??
Male Prisoner 1(to livon)- You are a monster!! Please don't hurt me now too!!
Livon(with a confused face)- Cut this nonsense!! Otherwise, I'm going to hurt you for real now!!
Male Prisoner 1(to livon)- Ohhhhh!! I am scared!! Please don't say something like this again!! I may even shit my pants!!
Narrator- Both the prisoners went close to Livon and started tangling with him on purpose. Livon at first avoided it, but then they became persistent.
Male Prisoner 1(with a nervous face)- Ohhhhh!! Please!! Please!! Noooo!! Don't do this!!
Narrator- Male Prisoner 1 deliberately brought the knife to Livon's face. Livon quickly twisted the knife on the other side. The moment he did, Prisoner 1 got himself stabbed in the chest.
Male Prisoner 1(to livon)- You..... stabbed me?! You really stabbed me!! You tried to kill me!! Call the guards buddy!! This man wants to annihilate us!!
Narrator- Male Prisoner 2 then began shouting for the guards. But before there arrival, Noren arrived.
Noren was shocked to the scene. He looked at her sister, but she looked as confused as him. He then saw the bloody knife on the ground and picked it up.
Male Prisoner 2(in his mind)- Shhhhhhiiiittt!! Why did he hold the knife?!
Narrator- The prison guard, Alice, now arrived on the scene with a few other guards.
Alice(with a stunned face)- What in the world happened here?!
Male Prisoner 2(in his mind)- What should I say?? What should I say now?!
Zenji(while coughing blood)- These elite soldiers assaulted us for no reason and tried to kill us.
Alice(while looking at zenji)- He is still alive?!
Male Prisoner 2(to alice)- Yeah!! You can see my arm, it is filled with blood!!
Prison Guard 1(to alice)- He is right, ma'am. These three prisoners have indeed been genuinely assaulted.
Prison Guard 2(to alice)- Itsumi doesn't have any blood on her, but Livon has a lot. And the one holding the knife right now is Noren.
Alice- In that case, Noren is definently under our suspicion.....
Noren(with a surprised face)- What?! But I didn't do anything!! I arrived here just before all of you!!
Alice- Shut up!! No one will utter a word!! Especially not you three elite soldiers!! What was I saying.....?? Yeah!! Noren is definitely under our suspicion and Livon as well!! If both of you are ready to accept your crimes then we can give these pure soul justice.
Livon(to alice)- Pure.... soul?? Hmph, they are the conspirators!! Give me one evidence, that proves that I was the one that assaulted them!! Just having blood on me doesn't make me the criminal!!
Alice(to livon)- Then I should assume that zenji is lying?? The person that is lying on the ground, with a slash on his chest, covered totally with blood, is lying?!
Livon(to alice)- Assume whatever you want to, but I am not the criminal here!!
Noren(to alice)- Me neither!!
Zenji(while coughing blood)- Don't lie!!
Itsumi- Agghhh?! This son of a bitch!! He will go to any lengths!!
Alice- Fine!! If none of you accept your crimes, then we will have to conduct a proper investigation!! Something that could have been solved within minutes will now be solved within days. Not to mention, you won't be permitted to leave your cells for days.
Narrator- Livon and Noren became shocked after hearing that they wouldn't be permitted to move out of there cells because they knew if they couldn't move out, they wouldn't be able to find the Dragon Part.
Itsumi(to alice)- Livon................. Livon is the one who assaulted them.
Livon(with a stunned face)- Itsumi.................?!
Zenji(with a grin)- Even lady luck is on my side!!
Alice- I knew it!! Elite Soldiers are junk to the society!! Handcuff livon immediately and take him out!!
Itsumi(to livon)- I am sorry livon. But I have made my final choice. I can't be against my brother. He is everything to me.
Livon(with a depressed face)- .......... (then is taken away)
Noren(to itsumi)- Welcome home, big sis.
(Counseling Room, 12:12 p.m)
Therapist(to ginto)- Hello, Ginto. I am Elina. Please make yourself comfortable. I am here to help you through whatever you're going through. This is a safe space, and everything we discuss will remain confidential.
Narrator- Ginto becomes overly comfortable as he opens his legs wider with his arms behind his neck.
Ginto(to elina)- Carry on, I am listening.
Elina(with a confused face)- Umm.... okay. So, ginto, why don't we start by you telling me a bit about yourself??
Ginto(to elina)- I am a so-called "terrorist". Even though I don't think I am. And I belong to a group known as "Dushyanta". I have killed many people in the past. The last was an elite soldier turned dentist.
Elina(to ginto)- Was there any specific reason behind your last kill??
Ginto(to elina)- Yes, there was.
Elina(to ginto)- In that case, if a person kills another person for a specific motive, they are called a terrorist.
Ginto(to elina)- What if that motive is for a "greater cause"?? A cause, if it becomes successful, then it will help mankind in the longer run.
Elina(to ginto)- Hmmmm........... Interesting. Could you explain this "greater cause" in detail??
Ginto(to elina)- No, I can't.
Elina(to ginto)- But why can't you?? I would love to hear about it.
Ginto(to elina)- I only discuss my inner feelings with people who I think are close to me. Till now, there have been very few of those. And unfortunately, you aren't one of them.
Elina(to ginto)- I see..... I completely understand.
Ginto(to elina)- Anything more??
Elina(to ginto)- Not for now. You can leave. (ginto stands and starts to leave) You know, I would love to be one of those close people. Only, if you would want me to be.
Ginto(to elina)- Nah, I don't want.
Elina(with a smile)- Now, I will try my best to be one.
(Men's Block, 12:50 p.m)
Narrator- Archer brings back Livon, who looks normal barring a few bruises. He unlocks the handcuffs and locks Livon inside his cell again.
Archer was going back when Zenji stopped him to ask something.
Zenji(to archer)- Why is he brought back?? I thought he would be locked inside the confinement for the actions he took!!
Archer(to zenji)- Usually I do not answer prisoners stupid questions, but this matter concerns you, so I am going to answer. He refused to accept the misdemeanour. Even after a beating, he still said nothing. He isn't putting the blame on anyone else either, so we have no choice but to let him go until we find some solid evidence against him.
Zenji(while shouting)- But this isn't justice!! What about all the beating we got?! Was that all meaningless!!
Archer(to zenji)- Don't overreact!! Keep your voice lower in front of me!!
Zenji(with a disappointed look)- Damn you, green haired boy!! Damn you!! Why did you had to interfere?!
(Warden's Room, 2:23 p.m)
Narrator- The prisoners had completed their lunch and were enjoying themselves on the yard. This is the time when Noren and Itsumi visited the warden's room.
Foster(to noren)- Why are you here??
Noren(to foster)- I want some help from you.
Foster(with an angry face)- What....... what kind of help??
Noren(to foster)- Firstly, tell me, from which spot did your men retrieve ginto??
Foster(with an angry face)- From the pipes which are near the female prison guard room.
Noren(to foster)- Okay, then send a search party there and look for a bone. A bone of a dragon.
Foster(with a stunned face)- Search party?! Is coming into this prison and getting a cell of your choice not enough for you!! Now you also want to use my own men for your ridiculous task!! I won't be giving you any of my men!!
Noren(with a smirk smile)- As your wish. But then, don't expect me to keep my end of the bargain, if you can't keep yours. Don't forget, its the lives of your wife and dear little daughter on stakes!!
Itsumi(while looking at noren with a shocked face)- How..... far.... have you fallen in order to gain self respect, brother?? (in her mind)
Foster(to noren)- I will........ send the men!! Kindly, don't do anything to my family.
Noren(with a grin)- Nice!! Very nice!! I am sure your family will be happy to see what you are doing for them.
Foster(with an angry face)- .........
Noren(to foster)- One more thing, tell your men to conceal themselves. I wouldn't want my competitors to know what we are up to.
Narrator- Foster then calls out a few of his prisoners, explains to them what they need to do, and sends them off to the pipes.
Meanwhile, twenty minutes ago, in the prison yard, Raiden noticed a drain cover. Once no one was paying attention, he opened the cover and infiltrated the pipes. As he looked for the Dragon Part, he quickly realised how complex the structure was.
After about twenty minutes of searching, he finally found the Dragon Part lying under one of the pipe lines. He bent down and extended his hands to get it, but it was out of his reach. As he was trying, he heard the sounds of footsteps approaching towards him. He got agitated, but thankfully for him, at the last second, he got the Dragon Part, and then he quickly hid himself.
Raiden- Phewww!! Hahahaha!! The dragon part is ours!!
Narrator- This Dragon Part was a spinal cord, not a complete one, but a small portion of it. Raiden tied it like a belt around his waist and then started looking for the same drain cover he entered from.
After locating the cover, he carefully exited the pipes. He then blends himself with the crowd of prisoners to avoid any attention. But.... Livon who was standing at some distance noticed him.
(Warden's Room, 2:55 p.m)
Foster(to noren)- I have some news for you. My men didn't find any bone in the pipes.
Noren(with a stunned face)- What........?! How...... could that be possible?! Did your men even checked properly?!
Foster(to noren)- I trust my men throughly!! They aren't careless!! They take there work very seriously!!
Noren- Then...... where... where is it?! Did someone else took it before us?!
Itsumi(to noren)- The break time is over brother!! Lets return back to our cells before anyone suspects us. We can think about the dragon part later.
Noren- Where is it, damn it?!
(Visitation Area, 6:07 p.m)
Narrator- Twice a week, visitors are allowed to visit the prisoners for a maximum of twenty minutes. Only a single visitor is allowed in one visit, and the timings are always fixed for 6 p.m.
Today was visitation day and Tegan had come here to have a chat with Livon.
Tegan(to livon)- How is it going?? Are you enjoying??
Livon(to noren)- Itsumi has left us or should I say, she has left me and joined forces with her brother, noren.
Tegan(to livon)- Hmmmm. So that's why Itsumi refused to meet me. I did expect noren to make an impact once he arrived here, but this has happened much quicker. Itsumi's coming into this prison was always going to be a risky move, so nothing can be done now. Focus your attention on the dragon part; that is where our ultimate goal lies.
Livon(with a depressed face)- A childhood friend who betrayed me, a comrade who left me, a thief who is out there to make my life a misery. This is too much for me to handle anymore. I am sorry, but I am tired now.
Tegan- Don't apologize. You promised all of us that you would bring the dragon part home, then don't back down now!! We all are waiting!!
Livon(with a stunned face)- .........
Tegan(to livon)- I do have a lot of questions to ask you, but guess, I accomplished what I came here for. All the best then!! (then leaves)
Livon- Easy for him to say that.
Narrator- Elite Soldiers- 1 External
Ginto & Raiden- 6 Externals & 1 Internal
Noren & Itsumi- 1 External & 1 Internal
(Livon's Cell, Men's Block, Abyss Prison, 3:13 a.m, Day 22- The Day of the 8th External Dragon Part)
Narrator- The time was 3:13 in the morning; usually ordinary people, be they prisoners, sleep at this time, but this wasn't the case for Livon. While laying on the bunk bed on the top one, he kept on slamming his legs onto the bed, with his eyes wide open and his mind looking for answers that it couldn't find.
Eclipse, his cellmate, finally gets fed up with his slamming and decides to question him.
Eclipse(to livon)- Is everything alright??
Livon(to eclipse)- Hmmm....?! Yeah. Why do you ask??
Eclipse(to livon)- Because you have been slamming your legs onto this bed for the last two hours!!
Livon(with a surprised face)- Ohh?? I didn't notice that!! I am sorry to disturb your sleep. It won't happen again, you can sleep well now.
Eclipse(in his mind)- His voice......?! Its so similar to his father!!
(to livon)- So, why are you so disturbed??
Livon(with a surprised face)- Huh??
Eclipse(to livon)- I mean, there has to be a reason for all this spamming, right?? So, what is it??
Livon(to eclipse)- Nothing you should be worried about. You should sleep.
Eclipse(to livon)- Expressing your thoughts to others is a good way to ease tension, you know??
Livon(to eclipse)- Even if I tell, I doubt you could do anything. So what's the point in telling then??
Eclipse(to livon)- Don't judge before you try. Let me guess, its something about the Dragon Part, huh??
Livon(with a stunned face)- Huhhhhh?? How did you know??
Eclipse(with a smile)- Its written all over your face.
Livon(to eclipse)- How do you even know about the dragon parts??
Eclipse(to livon)- That's not important. Tell me what's the problem!!
Livon(to eclipse)- How can I trust a guy out of nowhere?? Give me some background info about yourself, then I may consider.
Eclipse(to livon)- Fine, fine. My name is "Eclipse". I am, or I should say, I was an Elite Soldier for the Aquatic Country. Most people recognised me as a semifinalist for the 3rd World Tournament. Here you go; that's my background information.
Livon(in his mind)- I did hear the rumors of him being a bigshot or something. But I was not expecting this!!
(to eclipse)- Aghh.... you don't seem too shady I suppose, so I will tell you.
Narrator- Livon then explains everything to Eclipse in detail.
Eclipse(to Livon)- Hmm, you really are in a very big mess. Have you thought anything about your next move? How would you look for the dragon part?
Livon(to eclipse)- No, I haven't. I have zero clues. I am getting all confused, especially due to the matter with raiden. I don't know what has happened to him. He is my childhood best friend, yet I don't even know how to approach him anymore.
Eclipse(to livon)- Best friends, especially childhood best friends, these things aren't broken so easily. Try to have a nice little peaceful chat with him, I am sure that will help your case. Anyways, for the dragon part, I think this thing will be help you.
Narrator- Eclipse stands up, comes near the toilet, tightly holds it and then plucks it out. There was a secret passageway.
Livon(with a stunned face)- A ......... secret passageway......?!
Eclipse(to livon)- Yep!! After carefully monitoring the prison for months, I was finally able to design this secret passageway a week ago.
Livon(with a stunned face)- ........
Eclipse(to livon)- Now, come on, go in and search for the dragon part in the pipes. Didn't you say that you saw raiden coming out of the drain cover in the break time?? Then there must be something there. While you go, I will supervise from here and let you know if something happens.
Livon(to eclipse)- Sorry, but all this isn't worth it. We have all been running around here and there looking for the dragon part until now, but it seems so pointless now. Like, what's the point in finding something that you are not even sure will be there?? On previous occasions, neither we, elite soldiers, nor ginto tried finding any dragon part before the hour of finding. Then why take such an effort now?! I will just simply wait until 7 p.m. today when the hour of finding begins.
Eclipse(to livon)- Don't be naive!! Do you really think it will be as simple as you said?? Where will you exactly find the dragon part at 7 p.m.?? Do you even know the layout of this complex prison?? It will take you months or even years to figure it out. And you think you will easily find the dragon part in one hour?? In one fricking hour!! Don't consider this dragon part to be similar to the previous ones! This is the Abyss Prison!! Hardly anyone or anything ever comes out of this prison. This prison is practically a kingdom!! It has everything you need! Be it the food that grows on the farm or the money that comes from the rich heritage of the warden's family!! Don't expect the dragon part to pop up out of thin air like on previous occasions!! I am one hundred percent sure that the dragon part is already in this prison!!
Livon(to eclipse)- Okay, okay!! Geez... you practically gave me an entire speech about this prison. If you are this sure of the dragon part being here then I will go and search for it.
Eclipse(with a smile)- Good!! That's the right way!! Here, take this too!! It can be helpful.
Narrator- Eclipse hands over a very sharp shank to Livon.
As he was leaving, a few extra sounds were made, which woke up Zenji, who was sleeping in the next cell.
Zenji(with a surprised face)- What the hell?! What was that sound I just heard?? (puts his ear to wall and heard eclipse giving some instructions to livon) Ohhhhh??!!! These bastards are now working together!! I won't let them succeed!! PRISON GUARD!! PRISON GUARD!! PRISON GUARD!! PRISON GUARD!!
Eclipse(with a stunned face)- That zenji!!
Livon(with a frustrated face)- Why does he keep on interfering, damn it!!
Narrator- Zenji began shouting loudly for the prison guards. This caused quite a commotion as everyone else also started waking up.
Arher and a few other prison guards ran to the scene.
Archer(to zenji)- What the shit is your problem?! Why are you barking like a street dog in the middle of the night?!
Zenji(to archer)- Sir, check livon's cell!! I heard some unusual sounds coming out of it just now!! They are surely upto something!! (archer had a look at the livon cell and saw everything normal)
Archer(with an angry face)- Everything is normal!!
Zenji(with a surprised face)- Check it properly!! Go inside!!
Archer(to zenji)- Shutt up!! I have started to think that you have some personal vendetta against livon!! If you make another baseless assumption like this again, then I will make sure that you don't get food for 2 days!! (all the guards then left)
Zenji(with a disappointed face)- Sheesh...........
Livon(with a relived face)- Aahhhh!! That was close!! Good thing we closed off the toilet in time!!
Eclipse(to livon)- Yeah!! But now we should try it again in the morning or so.
Livon(to eclipse)- Why are you helping me this much anyway?? We just hardly met each other and there is nothing for you to gain either, then why??
Eclipse(to livon)- I was a huge fan of Mr. Henry, your father. He was my inspiration for becoming an elite soldier. You might not remember it now, but I did meet you a few times when I was actively working as a soldier when your father was still around. So, helping you get the dragon part is like helping Mr. Henry again.
Livon(with an awkward face)- Yeah, whatever!! Just don't cause any trouble for me!!
Eclipse(with a smile)- Your voice may be similar to your father but your behavior is just like your mother jane.
(9:15, Breakfast Hour)
Livon(to eclipse)- I will go through the passageway after the breakfast.
Eclipse(to livon)- Okay. Tell me, where is this raiden guy of yours??
Livon(while pointing at the raiden)- There, the one eating his breakfast in the corner.
Eclipse(to livon)- Aah, I see. Go and talk to him!!
Livon(with a confused face)- Huh?? I can't do that!!
Eclipse(to livon)- Ofcourse you can. Don't you want to regain your friendship with him??
Livon(to eclipse)- Yes.... but......
Eclipse(to livon)- But you don't have the courage?! Listen to me now, approach him the same way you usually used to do.
Livon(to elipse)- Well..... usually I used to ignore him because more than half the time he spouted nonsense. So.... I don't really know how I am supposed to approach him.
Eclipse(with a confused face)- Ehhhh?! What kind of one sided friendship you used to have?? Nonetheless, just go!! Whatever comes to your mind first, just say that. It has to be natural!! Don't make the conversation forced!! You got that??
Livon(with a confused face)- Probably... (then went to raiden)
(Somewhere in the Hall)
Noren(to archer)- I am telling you again, I want to talk to foster!!
Archer(with an angry face)- Who the hell you think you are?! Why would I ever call our warden on request of a random prisoner?!
Noren(with a frustrated face)- I am not requesting, I am ordering!!
Archer(with an angry face)- You are dead!! (takes out his gun)
(Foster enters the scene)
Foster(to archer)- Stop it archer!!
Archer(with a surprised face)- Sir, you?!
Foster(to archer)- Were you planning on shooting him?! Did you forgot what I told you?!
Archer(to foster)- Sir..... but.....
Foster(to archer)- No explanation!! Just move back!! (archer then moves back)
(to noren)- What do you need to talk to me about??
Noren(with a foster)- I need your men to go to raiden's cell, take the dragon part from there, and then keep it with themselves until I tell you to give it back. I have a very strong hunch that it was raiden is the one who took the dragon part from the pipes.
Foster(to noren)- Why don't you go there yourself??
Noren(to foster)- Because he won't allow me too!! Do the bidding for me and your family will be safe!! I promise you that. (foster leaves)
Foster(to archer)- Go to raiden's cell and quietly take the dragon part without letting anyone know!!
Archer(with a frustrated face)- You are telling me to help a prisoner?! I won't do that!! Not at all!!
Foster(with an angry face)- From when did you started saying no to my orders?! Do as you are told!! I am your boss!!
Archer(with a frustrated face)- You have changed. You are not the boss I used to know.
Foster(to archer)- Circumstances change individual. You will learn this when you move up.
(Corner of the Hall)
Raiden(with an irritated face)- Didn't I told you not to come near me?!
Livon(with an awkward face)- Nice weather..... huh??
Raiden(with a confused face)- ......
Eclipse(while looking at them from a distance)- What kind of weather is he seeing inside a building?!
Raiden(with a serious look)- Yeah. Indeed, quite nice weather.
Eclipse(with a stunned face)- He answered too!! Don't tell me, he didn't want Livon to be in such an awkward position, so he answered to maintain his pride!!
Livon(to raiden)- So, why did you betrayed us??
Raiden(to livon)- Again that?! Don't you get bored asking the same question over and over again?? Move on!! I have left all you elite soldiers and started my new life as a member of dushyanta. I am at a much happier place now!!
Livon(with an angry face)- Don't lie to me!! I know when you are happy and when you are not!! Just Come back to me!!
Raiden(to livon)- ...............
Narrator- Meanwhile, Archer and other guards successfully found the Dragon Part inside Raiden's bed mattress. The moment Raiden noticed them, he quickly rushed over there.
Raiden(while looking at the dragon part)- .......
Archer(to raiden)- Hmph, be happy that I wasn't ordered to punish you.
Raiden(with a dejected look)- ........
Noren(with a smirk smile)- Nice work.
Eclipse(to livon)- You saw that, didn't you??
Livon(to eclipse)- Guess we will need some changes in plans.
Eclipse(to livon)- Guess we will.
Narrator- With this, Raiden lost the Dragon Part he collected and Noren added one more to his number. Archer kept the Dragon Part inside his drawer, then proceeded to continue his regular work.
Elite Soldiers- 1 External
Ginto & Raiden- 5 Externals & 1 Internal
Noren & Itsumi- 2 Externals & 1 Internal
(Livon's Cell, Men's Block, 5:15 p.m)
Eclipse(to livon)- Are you finally ready to go or not?? Time is running out, you know. Zenji will be returning from the infirmary in an hour.
Livon(to eclipse)- Yeah, ready!! Just pray that I will be able to find the way to the guard room quickly. By the way, I have been wondering this for a long time, why is this prison's layout so complicated??
Eclipse(to livon)- Because it wasn't built by our modern architects, it was built by the architects that existed centuries ago!!
Livon(with a confused face)- Centuries ago.....?? Isn't the year we are living in 107, then how is that possible??
Eclipse(with a smirk smile)- Which stream did you selected after 10th standard??
Livon(to eclipse)- Commerce with mathematics.
Eclipse(to livon)- Figures. And what was your average social science marks??
Livon(to eclipse)- Hmmm...... above 80% if I am remember correctly. But why are you asking me these questions??
Eclipse(with a confused face)- Ehhhh?! Even after scoring above 80%, you don't even know about your world's basic history?! Utterly shameful!! How did you score that good percentage to begin with??
Livon(to eclipse)- I did rote learning a day before my exam. My learning ability is real strong.
Eclipse(to livon)- Let me enlighten you a little about our world, then. The year we are living in is Year 107 AS; here "AS" denotes "After Shakti". This period began when our lands broke apart from each other, thus forming four different countries, and in between every country there existed some space such as forest, ocean, desert, and an island. Our countries were then named after the first shakti elements discovered there. This is a period when shakti became a prominent part of our society as a whole. The years before AS are referred to as "BS", which denotes "Before Shakti". This doesn't necessarily mean that shakti never existed then; it probably did. We even have some evidence of it being there, but it is named before shakti just to make our current period feel like a new beginning. Now, coming back to your question about this prison's complicated layout, Centuries ago, when our landmasses were all together and there were nothing but forests everywhere, there was a civilization named "Luminae" lying in the Willburn Desert, often considered the very first civilization that existed. They were the ones responsible for building this Abyss Prison. Not only this, but they also laid the foundation for the urbanisation we are seeing right now!! The one that ruled this civilization was and is still popularly known as "THE KING OF THE WORLD, DELOS!!
Livon(with a stunned face)- .........
Eclipse(to livon)- The civilization may have become ruins now, but it is still a popular tourist site where people from all over the world come and visit the monument.
Livon(with a stunned face)- Damn...our history is so vast, I was never even aware of it.
Eclipse(to livon)- That it sure is.
Livon(to eclipse)- How come you have so much detailed knowledge??
Eclipse(to livon)- I have a keen interest in history. I would have probably become a historical archaeologist if I wasn't an elite soldier.
Livon(to eclipse)- Well..... now that your history class has ended I think it is the best time to leave.
Eclipse(to livon)- Good luck!!
Narrator- With that, Livon left and began finding his way to the guard room through the pipes.
Livon- I will go with my instincts. If I am meant to find my way to the guard room then I eventually will.
Narrator- After 15 minutes, Livon found the roof tile belonging to the guard room. He slightly moves the tile to look out at the condition of the room. He sees Archer sitting on his chair and reading the newspaper.
Livon(in his mind)- Hmph!! He really had to be here?! Why doesn't he read his newspaper in the toilet or something!!
Narrator- Suddenly, a voice came from outside the guard room, calling out for Archer. Archer stood up and left the room.
Livon waited for 3-4 minutes to see whether Archer would be returning instantly or not. When he didn't, Livon thought it was the right time for him to go to the room and take the Dragon Part.
Livon opens up the room tile, jumps into the room, and begins searching for the Dragon Part. Once he saw it inside one of the drawers, he became happy and then decided to leave with it. He took a chair for support, so he could stand on it and leave. But as he was leaving, Archer entered the room. Livon had his back turned against the front door, so he couldn't see Archer.
But surprisingly, Archer, rather than making a fuss, simply turned his back and started walking outside.
Archer(in his mind)- Now support noren!! Anyone can have the dragon part, but him!!
Narrator- After 15 more minutes, Livon returned back to his cell.
Eclipse(to livon)- Did you get it??
Livon(while showing the dragon part)- I did!! (eclipse then hugs livon in happiness)
Narrator- Elite Soldiers- 2 Externals
Ginto & Raiden- 5 Externals & 1 Internal
Noren & Itsumi- 1 External & 1 Internal
(Livon's Cell, 7:15 a.m, Day 23) (Two Days to go for the 9th External Dragon Part)
Livon(while coming out of the passageway)- Huff!! Huff!! Successfully dug up a tunnel leading outside!!
Eclipse(with a delighted face)- Great work!!
(9:22 a.m, Breakfast Hour)
Narrator- Every prisoner was busy having their breakfast when Ginto's cellmate, who got beat up into a pulp by Ginto two days ago, suddenly stood up and began running towards the second floor.
Prison Guards also began shouting at him, asking him to stop, but he didn't listen and kept on running mindlessly. When he was going out of their reach, one of the guards shot him in the legs, hoping that he would now stop, but he didn't; it looked like he was possessed by something. Guards then also ran to catch him.
As everyone's attention was focused on this, Raiden quietly descended from the stairs in order to go to the basement. When he arrived there, Elina was unlocking Ginto from his solitary confinement.
Ginto(with a smirk smile)- You were useful. I can call you a friend now, at least.
Elina(with a proud face)- Thank you!! One day, I will surely be your close friend too!!
Raiden(to ginto)- Lets leave, while the cellmate is a making a distraction for us!!
Elina- The powered hang gliders are already kept in the yard!!
Narrator- Elina shows Ginto and Raiden a way to avoid any guards and reach the yard. When they reached it, they kicked off the engine and left together.
Prison Guard(while patrolling from a tower)- EMERGENCY!! EMERGENCY!! EMERGENCY!! TWO PRISONERS ARE ESCAPING VIA A HANG GLIDER!!
Narrator- Guards began firing bullets at the hand glider, but Ginto, who was piloting, flew the glider in a zig-zag way, thus avoiding any bullets.
Once they had crossed the borders of the Abyss Prison, they unbuckled themselves from the glider, and then Ginto created his bone wings, held Raiden with his hands, increased his speed, and flew away.
Raiden(while flying)- Who was that lady helping us??
Ginto(with a smirk smile)- A pawn!! Hahahahaha!! I mean, my therapist!! Foster had her arrange for me because he thought I had mental problems. So, I decided to use her in my plan. She had fallen for me, you know!!
Raiden(to ginto)- What would you had done to escape if you hadn't met her??
Ginto(to raiden)- Aah, I would have then used my cellmate until his expiry!!
Raiden(to ginto)- I couldn't get the dragon part. Somebody else, Livon, I think, already took it from the guard room before me.
Ginto(with a serious look)- So.... we..... lost. Yet......... again
Raiden(while looking at ginto)- ..........
(Warden's Room, 2:10 p.m)
Noren(to foster)- You telling me that the dragon part is stolen from the guard room?!
Foster(to noren)- Well.... yeah. This is what archer reported to me.
Noren(to foster)- That stupid offi.... (foster glares at him) Pretty sure ginto and raiden who just escaped are the ones that took it!! Aaahhh, damn it!! My winning streak is broken now!!
Itsumi(to noren)- Can't livon be the one who actually took it?? We can send some officers to his cell to confirm that.
Noren(with a frustrated face)- Nah, it can't be!! Hmph, he is too weak to be doing that alone!!
Itsumi(in his mind)- You have become the person you hated. It's all come full circle now.
(Prison Yard)
Narrator- Meanwhile, at the same time, Livon and Eclipse were standing on top of the drain cover, just about to leave.
Livon(to eclipse)- Its time!! Lets depart!!
Eclipse(to livon)- No. You will be the only one to depart.
Livon(with a confused face)- Huh?? I thought it was both of us together!! If you never wanted to leave this prison then why did created a passageway out of the toilet in the first place??
Eclipse(to livon)- I did wanted to leave the prison for a particular task that I thought I should be the one to do, but after meeting you, I have realised that isn't the case anymore. Go without me. My punishment is still not over.
Livon(with a confused face)- Punishment?? Yeah, I never asked, What was your crime in getting this prison anyway?? You don't seem like a bad person at all; it's the opposite of it.
Eclipse(to livon)- My crime, you ask?? My crime was that I made a mockery out of myself in front of the entire world as I failed to capture the "Reincarnation of Devil".
Livon(with a desperate look)- I know you aren't a bad guy, I know it!! There is no need for you to get locked inside this prison!! Come outside with me, I will make sure of your safety!!
Eclipse(with a smile)- Nice of you to say, but no.
Livon(with a desperate look)- Please!! You know, when I talked to you for the very first time, I instantly realised that there was some kind of special connection between us. And this is very, very rare of me!! So, please, please, come with me!!
Eclipse(with a smile)- Don't worry, I am sure we will meet again someday. Now go!!
(Zenji enters the scene)
Zenji- If he doesn't want to come with you, don't bother him!! I will be the one to come with you!! After all, when I met you, I also felt a special connection between us!! Jahahahahahahaha!!
Livon(with an angry face)- You bastard!! Why do you keep on interfering with my business everytime?!
Zenji(to livon)- Ohh, I didn't knew there was a business meeting going on here.
Narrator- One of the guards noticed them arguing with each other. He asked them loudly, "What is happening??", as he began to approach them.
The three of them agitated, Eclipse pushed Livon to the pipes, and then, as he was closing the drainage cover, Zenji also slipped by.
Livon(to zenji)- Why the hell are you here???!!!
Zenji(with a smirk smile)- Huh, just keep walking. Or else, you wouldn't be able to go out of this prison either.
Livon(with a frustrated face)- Sheeshh....!! (began walking towards the exit)
Prison Guard(to eclipse)- Where did those two guys go who were with you just now??
Eclipse(to prison gaurd)- Hmmm, they went to the washroom.
Narrator- That Prison Guard might not have noticed them leaving, but Archer, who stood at a distance, noticed them but still didn't do anything.
(Warden's Room)
Noren(with a frustrated face)- Fine big sis!! If you really think that the dragon part could be in livon's cell. Then foster, send your men to check there!!
Narrator- Foster moves out of this room, call of Archer and explains him what he needed to do.
Archer(to foster)- I refuse!! I won't to do anything what that noren says!! I am not his bitch, you are, sir!!
Foster(with a frustrated look)- Understand archer!! My dear wife and little daughter have been kidnapped by him!! So please!! Do as he is telling you. I know you don't like it, but still!!
Archer(with a surprised face)- You should have told me this sooner!! Then they wouldn't have been able to escape!!
Foster(with a surprised face)- Escape, who??
Archer(to foster)- Livon and Zenji!!
Narrator- Archer then ran as quickly as he could towards the ground that lies just outside the prison yard.
Meanwhile, Livon had already made his way to the outside world, and Zenji, who was just behind him, was also an inch closer to stepping on the ground from the underground tunnel, but before he could, Archer caught him. By this time, Livon had already run away.
Zenji- NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! DDDDDAAAAMMMM IIITTTTTTTT!! SCREW YOU BRAT!! SCREW YOUUUU!!
(Warden's Room)
Foster(to noren)- It looks like livon has also escaped from the prison. Its our fault this time, we should have been much more diligent.
Noren(to foster)- I suppose, nothing can happen now. We are also leaving the prison!! The dragon part is gone, so we are gone too!! Goodbye!!
Foster(to noren)- What about my wife and daughter?? Would you release them now??
Itsumi(while looking at noren)- ......
Noren(to foster)- Release?? They were never kidnapped in the first place. Both of them are staying over at your neighbor's house.
Foster(with a stunned face)- .......
Noren(to foster)- When I told them about my condition and how I wanted to enter the prison, they both agreed to help me and pretend that they were kidnapped by me. Apparently, their reason for helping me was that you weren't paying them attention as you were always busy with your work, so they wanted to teach you a lesson on not ignoring your family!!
Foster(with a stunned face)- .........
Itsumi(while looking at noren with a smile)- ........ (then they both left the prison)
(After few hours, At a Park)
Narrator- All the Elite Soldiers had gathered at a park to see whether Livon was successful in bringing the Dragon Part or not.
Mizumi(with an anxious face)- Don't tell me that we failed again?!
Hinaka(to mizumi)- Hopefully its the opposite this time!!
Livon(with a smile)- Yeah, yeah, I have brought it, relax!!
Narrator- Livon provides the Dragon Part with his shakti and then it tranforms into a Palladium Night Stick.
Livon(with a smile)- How befitting!!
