"Quickly! We need a Transporter to get us to Tara's place!!" Axel exclaimed in panic as he looks at Fulario before dashing forward.
Fulario puts his hand into his back pocket before taking out a phone and dialing a number. The other end picked up the call as a voice can be heard asking, "This is Transport Corporation, what can we help you?"
"We need a Transporter at Dos Office in District 7 now. Our destination is District 6. There's only two of us so we need a Transporter as soon as possible," Fulario said to the phone as the voice on the other end replied moments later saying, "Understood. Sending out a Transporter at District 7 within 30 seconds. Please enjoy our service," the voice said before hanging up the call.
At this point, both Axel and Fulario are bolting through the City streets which seem to be in ruins as many buildings are destroyed and the towers had fallen and crush some of its armies underneath it.
Not too long after that, they arrived back at Dos Office where they can see a woman standing Infront of the small stairs, her hair was straight, long, black colored hair. On her left hand is a watch while on her right hand is some sort of an old ornament. She's dressed in a dark blue suit with purple stripes that has multiple diamond patterns on top of each other on the backside of the suit. Just like the one that the previous Transporter that they hired wore.
"Hey! Quickly! We need to go to District 6!" Axel shouted in a hurry as he runs as fast as he can towards the woman in a suit. When he reached her, Fulario was not far behind and manages to catch up.
The woman nodes and puts her hand together, while saying the same word, "Movere," before all three of them are now engulfed in a series of blinding light as they immediately arrived at Tara's place.
Moments later, the blinding light disappeared as they are now in front of Tara's place. The situation was abysmal. Bodies and limbs are scattered all around the floor of the front yard where the playground used to be. The windows are all shattered, and the doors had been busted down. Axel's face was filled with terror as he runs straight into the building that is now in an unusable state.
Fularios looks back at the Transporter woman before bowing down a little while saying, "Thank you for the service. You can put the service bills on to Fulario from Dos Office at District 7,"
"Understood," the woman replied as she puts her hand together once again and saying, "Movere," before disappearing into the blinding light.
Fulario then quickly follows Axel inside but he sees that Axel is standing still at the entrance looking inside the building. When he reached the broken door, he sees a long hallway filled with machines that have the shape of a Scavenger but without the gas mask, the tube behind them, and the hose connecting the two. The machines are seemingly dead as they have cut marks all over their body. He then notices that at the end of the hallway there's a reception table with blood on it.
Axel runs forward as he looks behind the table to see the body of a dead young boy. His eyes are both gouged out of its eye sockets and his tongue, as well as his teeth, are all gone. Feeling sick of the sight, he looks around the table to see that the hallway splits into two. The right hallway has more machine parts while on the left hallway, the machines seemed to have been burnt to a crisp and sticking to the walls and floors.
Axel nodded at Fulario and then they split to check both hallways. Axel went to the right hallway while Fulario went to the left. Axel runs down the hallway as he checks at each destroyed door with corpses of kids laying around with missing limbs and body parts. Some of them lost both legs, some of them lost both arms, and some of them lost all of the above. Innards are dragged out, brains are splattered, faces are smashed so hard that they can't be recognized.
Axel arrived at the end of the hallways to check the last and final door which is opened but has a few scratches. Preparing to fight, Axel draws his sword as he mustered up the courage to slowly open the door. There, he sees yet another terrifying sign. On the floor, leaning towards the wall was Tara with half of his lower body ripped apart and scattered across the whole room. The stench of blood filled the room when upon closer look, he notices that there are around 14 machine heads that seemed to have been killed by Tara.
When he focuses on Tara, he notices that his left eye is hanging out of his eye socket and his left eye is stabbed by a metal piece. His innards are scattered on the floor. His legs are torn apart as parts of it are scattered all around the room. On his right hand, is a dagger with blue highlights on its blade, and on his left hand, he is grasping on something that has a rope attached to it. Axel slowly walks closer with his sword still ready before he tries to take whatever is in Tara's left hand.
Just after he touched Tara's hand, it twitched a little. Surprised, Axel puts his sword up and points it at Tara. Tara, who doesn't seem to know what's pointing at him, nonchalantly asked in a low tone and slow pace, "W...ho... is there...?"
"It's me, Axel. Tara, I need to know where Sophie is. Where is she?" Axel asked in an equally low tone and slow pace to match up with Tara.
"Take... this key... and save them... I beg... of you..." he then slowly opens his left hand, revealing an old key covered in his blood.
"I understand. Sorry, I can't arrive here sooner to help you," Axel said as he took the key from Tara's hand.
"From... the entrance... take the left... hallway..." he said as his voice became more low and lifeless.
"Don't worry... also... take this... with you..." he then opens his right hand, offering his dagger before coughing up more blood.
"I see, thank you, Tara," Axel also took Tara's dagger as he then stares at his innards that is still gushing out blood.
"Forgive me... and please... save them..." he said as his body became lifeless and his hands become cold. At this point and time, Tara is confirmed dead.
"I cannot thank you enough for what you did, Tara. I shall do your final wish," Axel then bolts quickly out of the room, running towards the left hallway that Fulario took.
