Chapter 89 - Chapter 89: Night Falls

*Prison alarms sound*

Guard: Emergency, emergency! The cell doors have been unlocked, the prisoners escape

Eden: *Think* The time has come

*A pitched battle is shown in the dining rooms*

*Eden runs out of his cell, but Orze intercepts him*

Eden: Shit

*Orze squeezes Eden's wrist*

Eden: Let go of me, you bastard.

*Orze stares at Eden*

Eden: What? You already caught me, what more do you want?

Orze: It's not a bad plan, good luck

*Orze lets go of Eden and leaves the place*

Eden: What the hell was that? No, I don't have time to waste, I have to do my part

*Eden begins to notice each of the people he has to rescue*

Eden: Amine!

Amine: Yes!

*Amine grabs Eden's shoulder and sends information to others*

Eden: Thank you

Amine: Do you see? Isn't I great?

Eden: Yes, yes, whatever you say

Eden: *Think* I was lucky he wasn't useless, his ability didn't come in handy to create an escape zone for the rest

*All guards begin to flee with their families*

Takemi: Escape route b has been a success. Now it's time for us to march

*A prisoner crashes and dies*

Eden: Looks like we'll have to take care of that monster first

Takemi: Yes, that's right

Eden: Can I order it for you?

Takemi: Huh? Yes, I will be able to hold him, but I doubt I can kill him, those bastards were created from experiments and are too resistant

Eden: Those? There's more?

Takemi: Yes, but the vast majority are in the high-security zone

Eden: *Think* I'm very unlucky

Eden: Amine, Takemi, wait for me here, I still have a debt to pay

Takemi: Okay

Amine: Leave this to us

*Eden moves at high speed towards the high security zone*

Eden: *Think* I don't think I can fight properly, the best thing will be to get in fast and go out with that guy

*Eden begins to run at high speed escaping the attacks of the guard monsters*

Eden: *Think* I'm close, there's very little left

*Fear begins to run through Eden's entire body*

Eden: *Think* What the hell? Why? Why am I afraid?

*It is shown that from the prisoner's cell one comes out a terrifying aura*

Eden: *Think* What is this power?

*Applause is heard from the cell*

*Overwhelming power and terror invade the entire body of Eden*

Eden: *Think* Move! Move damn it!

*The body of the very disfigured prisoner 1 falls at the feet of Eden*

*Eden is shocked by what he is witnessing*

Eden: What the hell is going on?

Guayas: We have to give this man an award, I never thought that a guy of his ilk could keep secrets like that

Eden: Guayas...

Guayas: I thought this rat would spit out information at the first minute, but who knew? He is the first person I know who endures two days of torture without saying anything at all. It's impressive

Eden: You... Why?

Guayas: In recognition of your courage, I'll have to promote you from rat to premium rat. Don't you think that's honorable?

Eden: You wretch, what have you done to him?

Guayas: I had hired that guy to kill you or at least to get information out of you, but the very fool let himself be carried away by his paternal feelings. You knew it, didn't you? He has a daughter outside the kingdom and wanted to see her, but for some strange reason he decided to protect you, rather than give me the information and see his daughter

Eden: You, why? Why didn't you tell me?

*The prisoner spits out a gigantic amount of blood*

Prisoner 1: There are things brats shouldn't know... Besides, my daughter wouldn't be proud of me. I abandoned her to prevent those who were after me from going after her... I don't think he'll forgive me, I'm a horrible father

Eden: Damn it! Why did you do this? Idiot! You shouldn't protect me! You should have gone see your daughter! Why do you suppose he won't forgive you? Idiot, you protected her, you're not a bad father

Prisoner 1: *Smile* Brat, you're loud. You're just like her...

Guayas: *Lets out a laugh* How beautiful is paternal love, don't you think?

Eden: You wretch, I will kill you!

Prisoner 1: Brat, go away. If you let this idiot kill you, I'll come and kill you again

Eden: But...

Prisoner 1: Go now!

Eden: *He is very frustrated* I'm sorry... I didn't keep my promise

Prisoner 1: Thank you...

*The prisoner loses his life*

*Eden prepares to run*

Amine: What a beautiful scene, don't you think Eden?

Eden: Amine... What the?

*Amine throws Takemi's body badly injured*

Eden: Takemi!

Amine: Hey you, I've done my part, you'd better pay me

Eden: Amine? What are you doing?

Guayas: *Smiles* I thought I was smarter, but it seems that I was wrong, don't you see? Who do you think gave me all the information? Right now I'll have my guards catching those who betrayed me and they'll kill their families

Eden: Amine Why?!

Amine: Shut up. Just like you, I have my own interests, I just need a little gold *Smile*

Guayas: Do you see? Every rat has a price, that's why they're the best tools

Eden: Cursed

*Guayas throws a bag full of gold coins at him*

Amine: yes, yes, this is going to free all my

*A spear pierces Amine's head and he falls to the ground lifeless*

*Takemi and Eden are surprised by what they have just seen*

Guayas: *Sighs* Rats are still rats. You can always change them when you need to

Eden: *Think* We're finished, my plan has failed, Takemi is very close to death, there's nothing I can do... am...

Takemi: *With a very weak voice* Don't tell me that now you're going to back down?

Eden: What?

Takemi: I thought you were braver

Eden: But, there's nothing I can do anymore. I... I was wrong

Takemi: So? What's bad?

Eden: *Surprised* What are you talking about?

Takemi: That just shows that you're human. I actually thought you had a plan to leave us behind, but you didn't even leave him who was a murderer, you're really a good person Eden

Eden: Takemi...

Takemi: *Closing your eyes* Please take care of this for me

*Takemi hands him a golden item*

Takemi: Thank you...

*Takemi loses his life at the hands of Eden*

Eden: Takemi? Takemi? Hey, stop kidding! Hey!

*Eden breaks down and begins to cry*

Guayas: I'm tired of waiting, die!

*Guayas' attack is cut in half by an unknown person*

*A guy with white hair and pink eyes is shown*

Stranger: Hey, hey, don't you see that they are in a delicate moment?

Guayas: Hey, who the hell are you?

Guayas: *Think* How is it possible that a guy like him is here? When do I enter?

Unknown: *Scratching his head* Sorry, I don't like interrogations

Guayas: *Think* Right now I don't think I can beat him, I'm going to need that

*Guayas runs away*

Unknown: What?! Has it run away?

*The stranger sighs*

Unknown: That guy can't get enough of giving me a job

*Eden is shown shattered*

Unknown: Hey, you

Eden: What do you want?

Unknown: I don't know if this will help you, but your plan wasn't a complete failure, the guards and their families are alive

Eden: W-What did you say?

Unknown: It wasn't a bad plan. However, you need to be a little suspicious of the rest

Eden: But, that's impossible. They knew everything. How could they escape?

Unknown: It's a long story, but let's just say I gave you a hand

*The lifeless bodies of the soldiers that Guayas had sent are shown*

Eden: Who are you?

Unknown: The questions for later. Now I have a mission to fulfill. Do you want to come?

Eden: I...

*Eden sees the lifeless bodies of his companions*

Eden: I'll Go

Unknown: *Lets out a little smile* Let's go for him, but first...

*The stranger hands his weapons to Eden*

Eden: This is...

Unknown: You'll need them. I don't think that guy has run just because, he must plan something. Something big

Eden: *Think* I'll avenge them, both of them, at any cost

*The bodies of prisoner 1 and Takemi are shown*

Eden: *Think* I swear!
