Chapter 6 - Chapter 6: Past to Future

(The dimly lit room casts long shadows against the walls as Hellesa glances around uneasily. There's something off about the place—the air feels too still, the silence too heavy.)

Hellesa (whispering): This place doesn't feel right… something's wrong.

Kazen (glancing around): Yeah, it looks nice and all, but I also have this weird feeling. I don't want to stay here any longer. Let's go, guys.

Izaki (firmly): Agreed. We leave now.

(They exchange tense looks before quietly grabbing their bags. Just as they're about to step toward the door, the scene abruptly cuts to the council chamber, where shadowed figures sit in a dimly lit room, discussing their next move.)

(Scene: The Secret Council Meeting – Unfolding Plans)

(Council members sit around a long, black marble table. Their faces are partially hidden in the darkness, only illuminated by the glow of holographic screens displaying surveillance footage of Izaki and his group.)

Council Member 1 (coldly): You think the threat is still in our control, but it has already slipped from our grasp.

Kazen (narrowing his eyes): What? What are you talking about?

Council Member 1 (smirking): She is strong. Too strong. If she discovers our plans, we won't be able to stop her. But we can kill her before she gets that far.

(A voice echoes from the shadows—calm yet deadly.)

???: I knew you would say something like this.

(Another figure steps forward, their identity hidden beneath a cloak.)

???: I gave this mission to you, but I think we've been too lenient. Why send just one pawn when we have thousands at our disposal?

(The room falls silent for a moment before another council member nods in agreement.)

Council Member 2 (grinning): Now that's what I wanted to hear. Prepare the army—we only have one day to execute this mission.

(The camera cuts back to Hellesa and the group, who are still unaware of the impending danger.)

(Scene: Back at Kamesa's House – The Trap is Set)

(Kazen rushes into the room, his expression tense.)

Kazen (urgently): Pack your bags—we need to get out of here. Now.

Hellesa (frowning): What happened?

Kazen (glancing at Izaki): He doesn't feel safe here… and honestly, neither do I.

(Izaki remains silent, his eyes scanning the room. Something is off—he can feel it in his bones.)

Kamesa (scoffing): You want to leave just because of a "feeling"? That's not a valid reason.

(Before anyone can react, Kamesa smirks and pulls a small device from his pocket. He presses a button on the remote, and the sound of mechanical locks clicking into place echoes through the house. The doors and windows seal shut, trapping them inside.)

Hellesa (eyes widening): What are you doing?!

Kazen (gritting his teeth): You were never on our side, were you?

(Kamesa chuckles, his demeanor shifting from friendly to menacing.)

Kamesa: Oh, don't look so surprised. Did you really think I was just some helpful old friend? I was sent here for a reason.

(Izaki clenches his fists, his body tensing.)

Izaki: So you were working for the council all along.

Kamesa (grinning): Bingo. And now, I have orders to keep you here until the real execution squad arrives.

(Hellesa's breathing quickens as she glances around the room, searching for a way out. The air feels heavy, suffocating. The realization sets in—they've walked straight into a trap.)

(Scene: A Fight for Survival)

(The tension is thick. Kamesa tilts his head, as if daring them to try something.)

Kamesa (mockingly): You could always try to fight me, but I wouldn't recommend it. I've upgraded quite a bit since our last encounter.

(Hellesa exchanges a glance with Kazen and Izaki. Their choices are limited, but one thing is clear—they can't stay here and wait for reinforcements to arrive. They have to act now.)

(Kazen subtly reaches for his weapon, his fingers tightening around the hilt. Hellesa shifts her stance, preparing for a fight. Izaki cracks his knuckles, his eyes cold and calculating.)

Izaki (quietly): We're getting out of here. One way or another.

(A smirk plays on Kamesa's lips as he steps back, unlocking a hidden compartment on the wall. A row of deadly weapons lines the inside—guns, knives, and explosives.)

Kamesa (chuckling): If that's how you want to play… let's see if you're really as strong as they say.

(The screen fades to black as the battle is about to begin.)
