Year 1929

Location: Unknown

The Great World War.

[Room FOV]

A lifeless body of a woman is seen with a slit throat that's leaking blood. Two helpless children lay beside the body as though they're waiting for the woman to wake up from slumber.

"Mama, please wake up it's time for dinner."

The girl mutters in a quavering voice, with tears in her eyes. She faces Ilama expecting his help, but soon collapses on the worn-out floor because of severe starvation.

"Sorry Sasha, there is nothing i can do."

Heartless, Ilama holds her sister in his lap, trying to comfort her from the torment. Slowly, he plummets into a state of immense fatigue and falls unconscious.

3 Days Later...

Rain is showering over a sombre village, blanketed with haze and dark clouds. Crumpled dead bodies are surround the area. The cocktail-blue shade of water slowly transforms into brick-red blood.

Two investigators stumble across this hell-hole.

"Commander this is hell."

Lubbock shouts in a petrified tone

The Commander and his subordinate, walk on the main pathway leading towards the village, witnessing dead bodies left and right in utter disbelief. The expression on their faces was seemingly representing their screams in anguish, moments before their designated deaths...

"It could be an attack from the opposing force. Check the surrounding areas. Scatter!"

"Yes Sir!"

The Commander and his Subordinate split up in a search for clues explaining this strange yet diabolical occurrence. Soon, the commander stumbles upon the village hall...

"No signs of enemies..."

"Jesus Christ Lubbo, all of the elders have hung themselves. What the hell is going on?"

The commander is shocked at what he's seeing, he starts walking toward the other units inside the hall. The Commander picks up a shabby, bloodstained picture of a family and notices that it's the same family that hung itself in the main hall. Grief and incredulity stunned him after realizing it. It actualized the surreal, sinister reality of the tragedy at hand, as the bodies that the housed these souls were dead like livestock. It almost made him vomit.

"Fu*k, This is unreal. What drove these people to do this to themselves..."

The wide-eyed commander stated in disdain. He then stands up and walks out of the hall to inspect the other houses...

***

After close inspection for more clues, Lubbock and the Commander give up on the possibility of finding someone alive in this village.

***

Lubbock starts walking down a trail to a house that's isolated to the corner of the village. He sees a silhouette of a girl covered in blood pointing towards the house he was walking to.

"Huh, are my eyes playing tricks?"

Lubbock thinks to himself, completely shocked. He recollects himself. He walks to the house and opens the door... there he sees Ilama laying on the floor emotionless... He shouts to his Commander.

"THE KIDS STILL BREATHING COMMANDER!"

The commander responds to Lubbocks call. He leaves the house he was inside and runs towards Lubbock. While running, he collapses and sees the body of a girl. The same girl that showed Lubbock the way. Unable to make out of what is happening he gets back up and continues rushing to the destination.

[Commander & Lubbock's POV]

"Finally some answers."

A kids sitting in corner of the house. His eyes showing his empathetical nature.

The Commander walks towards the kid ignoring the things in his way. The kid laying on the ground crawled up still doesnt care about their presence. The Commander makes the kid sit straight. He sees the kid's affectionate look and asks him.

"What's your name kid?"

"Ilama."

The kid murmurs to the commander.

"Full Name."

The Commander asks in a low pitched voice

The rain and thunder pours faster and louder.

"Ilama...Ro."

(Whispers)

Listening to the kids words the Commander and Lubbocks expressions change into a state of shock. The Commander curious about what happened and asks the kid.

"Ilama can u tell us what happened here"

Ilama whispers in an agonising voice. Tells the Commander and Lubbock about what happened.

"Everyone...They, they..."

*Bzzzt...bzzt

The Commander recieves a radio signal. He reaches for his is radio and picks it up. Lubbock looking at the Commander in a surprised expression.

"Commander the enemy has taken over, nothing is left(Cries). May God be with you all in the future(Cries). If possible commander please avenge us(Screams)..."

The conveyer from the radio team narrates to the Commander and is then killed.

"What happened commamder"

Lubbocks questions him, seeing as his mental state weakens.

"Evil has taken over the world."

Commander says.

Now that the world had little unity left and no law exists, he thinks of revenge.

"Now that the world is in chaos, we shall liberate it in our own ways... Lubbock grab the kid, and lets leave."

Lubbock senseless as to what happened...

"LUBBOCK! Come to your senses for God's sake, this is not the time to be day dreaming."

"Commander but..."

"Lubbock, i know it gonna be hard with little due to us having no official support...But we shall make a world where peace and law exists again..."

Lubbock fastens himself, he grabs Ilama on his shoulders with care and starts following the Commander out of the house into the mist..

"Leave me alone im nothing better than trash that couldn't do anything."

Ilama shouts as he thinks of his worthess life.

"Kid listen the trash you speak of can always be refined into something better."

Lubbock calm and recollected tells Ilama his life's worth. Ilama acknowledging Lubbock's words he rethinks his decision to live...

Ilama slowly passes out of exhaustion...

"G Man please go buy me some lollipops?"

G Man angered at Ilama's sudden request replies at him in a calm manner.

"Ilama you've already finished a box of them which i bought yesterday."

Ilama With a cat like expression starts to plead twards G Man

"Come on, just this once please."

"CONNER, U PERV"

Petrona exclaims in a angry manner. Petrona faces the rest of the team.

"Yoooo, is everyone ready to go."

"Do you think we are going on a vacation?"

"Well do u have a problem with me wearing a Yukata?"

"you! Well frik, never mind."

Conner dozing of on his desk... He stops his nose bleed. He recieves a call on the line right next to him and picks it up. Hearing that it's Lubbock's voice he starts taunting him.

"Yo Lubbock how is your wife?"

Lubbock sitting in the boss's room get frustrated and shouts on Conner through the line. While the boss in the background has a poker face...

"STFU, Your ride to the train station is here! inform it to everyone."

"Okaaay dude chill I will... Say hi to you wife for me"

Conner cuts the line amidst Lubbocks phrase.

Lubbock has an inflamed expression, steam coming out of his ears...

"I swear im going to kill that D*ck one day."

***

"Who was it Conner?"

"Hehe, it was Lubbock G Man"

"Shall we go then, the hell train awaits. Everyone."
