The City of Above

48:23

Yet now, we are witnessing a small part of a schedule of the M soldiers in the City of Above. The M soldiers are patrolling around the city, trying to find more C borns in random buildings. Some soldiers are waiting outside for the others to come. Over five exit a building, carrying with them two kids, and then calling for their other colleagues to help them.

[MSoldier1]-We found two more here!

[MSoldier2]-Damn, these brats do know how to hide from us... It's hard to get them even if we are more at numbers.

[MSoldier3]-Officer DU5TIN, we are waiting for your orders!

[DU5TIN]-...You already know what to do, no need to wait for my words. Take them to the General and come back to me immediately.

[MSoldier3+MSoldier1]-Yes, Officer!

With that command, the soldiers take the kids away, who were crying from the fear that they were facing. Both of them were looking at the one who gave the orders, begging for mercy. The Officer noticed it, as he was looking at them too. He wasn't really happy seeing them, yet none can say if the unhappiness was from hating them, tiredness, or feeling bad for them. As for how he looks like, he seems young, pretty injured as well, as he doesn't seem to have an eye, which he either tries to hide with an eyepatch or with his own hair.

[MSoldier4]-Officer, I cannot help but notice that you are a bit down. Is it something that I can help you with?

[DU5TIN]-It's nothing, soldier. I am just a bit tired from all the patrolling we've been doing in the past few days.

[MSoldier4]-If you wish, I brought some drinks before we came here from a friend of mine. I can give you one so you can feel better.

[DU5TIN]-Thank you, but I must refuse. I do not need anything. I will be fine.

While the soldiers are doing their work, some which remained with the Officer start to talk about a subject.

[MSoldier5]-...Why do you think they stopped providing us with money in the first place anyway?

[MSoldier6]-Eh, who knows. The crevaators are parasites to the city no matter the situation. I'm glad that the General has decided to eliminate them in a few days.

[MSoldier7]-But what if they still have some supplies of money with them which we aren't aware of? Eliminating them won't be a problem to us?

[MSoldier6]-Even so... They still refuse to give us anything, so they've lost their use to the city. Why should we keep them? If they want to survive, they should give us what we need as a trade.

[MSoldier5]-I still think something isn't right about this whole situation. Doesn't seem even a little off to you? First we find a brand new currency which they gave us, and now all of a sudden they stop paying us anything. What do you think it's the deal here? Do they hide something from us?

[MSoldier6]-If they do, then most likely we will find out once we get rid of them and investigate their area.

[MSoldier7]-If you say so...

As they are talking though, the Officer looks far away to a building. There, it seems to be someone watching them all this time, but he doesn't seem to mind that, he simply looks at that person with disgrace. Then, the figure leaves without anybody knowing where He went.

The Crevaators' Area

49:01

It seems that the Great Leader is coming to "visit" the crevaators for a reason, and they do notice Him coming. There is nothing to explain more. The leader is coming closer, making sure it's Him and searches for the payment for a bit, before starting to talk.

[ESTVA4NH7SE]-So? What is it this time?

[CHE5TER]-Hmph... Not even a greeting? So be it.

[ESTVA4NH7SE]-I know shit like this doesn't matter to you anyway, so I'm getting straight to the point. What do you want to know this time?

[CHE5TER]-I came more to offer you a trade, Mr. ESTVA4NH7SE. I give you an information that might benefit you in the future and you give me the most expensive answer that I've been asking you all these years.

[ESTVA4NH7SE]-Hahahah... I don't think you can pay for that type of demand no matter what information this is. You know the price of it after all. We want your body, I do not care what you want me to know. The body of a true ruler is the most precious thing you can ever give me, CHE5TER. Nothing compares to that.

[CHE5TER]-Then I guess I can leave and let you have fun in your last moments if that's what you wish.

CHE5TER tends to leave, but the leader stops Him from doing that, as He isn't so sure what He means by what He said.

[ESTVA4NH7SE]-...Hold on there, buddy. What do you mean by "last moments"?

[CHE5TER]-If you wish to know that, then you might as well accept my offering, right? So? What is your final decision?

[ESTVA4NH7SE]-...

The leader looks a bit at Him. He isn't joking, He isn't messing with him, He is dead serious about what He is saying, rather, even horrifying how serious this man can be.

[ESTVA4NH7SE]-Alright... We have a deal, Great Leader.

[CHE5TER]-Heh... A wise choice...

[ESTVA4NH7SE]-Now, don't leave me in the dark, give me your part of the deal!

[CHE5TER]-How impatient... I don't remember you being this way, Mr. ESTVA4NH7SE.

[ESTVA4NH7SE]-Stop playing with me, CHE5TER! I can devour you at any second knowing damn well that you are still affected till this very day from your incident! My people are always ready, you know!?

[CHE5TER]-And you still forget that I'm more powerful than any of your people, even you. Doesn't matter in what condition I am, I can still kill you all in a blink of an eye.

[ESTVA4NH7SE]-...

[CHE5TER]-But, since we have a deal now, I will tell you everything I know.

The leader looks directly in His dead eyes, as He never gave him any kind of information. Everything that He is doing now is unusual, but He desires for an answer that the crevaators' leader has.

[CHE5TER]-...The M soldiers want to execute all of your people from the above, as they think you are all useless to them since you've stopped offering them money. They plan to do this in the next days, when you all aren't prepared. You either trust this word of mine now and find a solution, or your people might as well just die.

[ESTVA4NH7SE]-But this was all your idea, it was your decision that put us in danger!

[CHE5TER]-And you think I didn't know that? Of course, the crevaators from the above will need to hide as well from now on, suggesting that you might hide under their city in the first place.

[ESTVA4NH7SE]-We barely have space for the people from the underground here since you do not let us have access to the city anymore! How are we suppose to live all together in this small space, smartass!?

[CHE5TER]-Mm... That is not my problem. This is your group to lead, not mine. You have to find a solution to the problem on your own. I only gave you the information that you needed and a small advice. Now... I will like to get my answer.

Mad, the crevaators' leader seems to be whispering to himself, in his own language this time.

[ESTVA4NH7SE]-...Zistzvertse laiszuv il na Heell'vorahvai, CHEE5TER. (TR: Hope you burn in the flames of Hell, CHE5TER.)

[CHE5TER]-Hm? What did you say?

[ESTVA4NH7SE]-...Nothing.

Even so, the leader seems annoyed by this man for the first time in his life. He knew the Great Leader used drastic methods in the past that annoyed most of the people that worked for Him, but he didn't understand why everyone thinks of His ideas to be so strange until now.

[ESTVA4NH7SE]-Just... What do you want from me?

[CHE5TER]-...Oh, you know what I want very well, Mr. ESTVA4NH7SE.

The Great Leader looks at Him deadly so He understands that He wants no lies. A simple mistake made by this leader and He could kill Him in two seconds. The leader looks at Him back in disgust for a last time, before His words are finally spoken.

"...I want you to tell me everything you know about General C4E5AR."
