Kerado was running up some stairs of the shelter. When he reached level 50, he went to the elevator and pressed the button '92'. The door slides closed and Kerado takes a second to catch his breath.
He was breathing continuingly and sweat was sliding it's way down his face; engulfing his face wet.
After awhile the elevator a few minutes the door to the elevator opens and Kerado dashes out of the confinement using all his agility.
Finally he reached his destination; the minister's office.
He knocks on the metal door agile and unstop. The door soon slides open and he rushes inside.
Inside was all his crew mates. Syria and Zen were standing infront of the minister's desk while the others were standing by the wall. All their eyes were fixed on the exhausted pre adult.
After catching his breath once again, he starts to walk towards the minister's desk. He pushes Syria and Zen out of the way with small amount of his strength.
He stands face to face with the minister and ask while breathing in his face, "..I don't want to wear that stupid ass outfit!".
The room went silent at Kerado's request. A chuckle interrupted the silence which was from Alisha.
"Hehe.", She laughed.
Samirah, who was beside hit her with her elbow on her sisters shoulder. Alisha let out a small cry of hurt, "Awo.".
It was their second gathering mission. Everyone was called to the minister's office right away. The reason way Kerado was late was because he didn't want to come until he remembered that he wanted to make a request, which to him was more of a demand.
The minister's face darkened at Kerado's rude intertion of his conversation with his two captions. He got up of his chair and places and hand on Kerado's shoulder.
With the minister's action, Ken, Cyan, Samirah, Alisha, Dauntae and Syria all taught that Kerado was getting punished, while everyone else was by any mind to what was going on.
Kerado on the e other hand didn't really think this through. His eyes following the minister's face as he got up and stared right at him with dark eyes.
The entire atmosphere of the room was hot and unbearable to breath in.
The minister finally said, "That can be arranged.", saying so made his face enlighten.
The rest of the crew who thought Kerado would be punished was in awe and disbelief.
Kerado how finally heard what he wanted said, "Alright old man, thanks.". After saying such, he turned his back to the minister's and walked to the door.
Before he could exit and hand was placed on his shoulder once again. This time it was Zen who was holding him.
"Where do you think you're going? We need you and the others to fill out a few requirements.", The minister said, still standing. Veins were visible on his face making him seem anger but was hold it back with his closed eyes.
"Huh?", Kerado said in awe.
Zen answered for him,"You need to stay.".
Kerado agreed with Zen,"Ok..".
Zen pointed at the wall where everyone else was starting and Kerado walked towards it.
Kerado whispered to himself while rubbing his shoulder, "*Whisper* Damn, how strong is that guy?".
The rest went smoothly without Kerado or anyone else making a scene. The requirements were something that they aren't going to expect.
After the minister called someone on the phone on the desk, saying, "They're ready.", Two women came into the room five minutes after.
"Follow us", They told the crew.
The entire crew and the two ladies leaved the room leaving the minister alone. He turned his over his chair slightly leaning his back and head comfortable on the chair.
He sighed to himself and said, "*Sigh* I hope this goes smoothly.".
"..."

[Level 88.]
The crew was brought to a room which seemed like a clinic. Everyone was sitting on a black chair.
The place had air conditioner which made the place extremely cold.
The crew didn't speak a word to each other making the only source of noise was the footsteps of the ladies and the the air conditioner blowing out cold air.
"My ass is freezing.", Ken whispered to himself.
Looking around he saw a curtain surrounded and enclosing a area of the room were the ladies had entered.
He rubbed his hands and legs trying to warm up himself. In a long while he had never felt this cold before.
After a few minutes, one of lady called the name of one the members, "Ummm.. Alisha Holo-", before could finish, Alisha answered.
"..Yes?", She asked rudely.
The lady signal her to come with her hands.
Alisha got of the cold chair and entered the room.
It went on like that for hours. It took more than half on hour for them to finish filling out the requirements that the minister need.
Ken was unaware of what they had to do to fill out the requirements since the person who had entered the enclosed area of the room was told to leave. The only thing he was aware of though was that they were calling names in alphabetical order.
"..Ken Lincoln?!", One of the ladies called.
"Yeah?", Ken answered.
It was now Ken's turn.
Ken walked towards the area of the room where the lady was. He entered through the curtains and saw a bed.
"Take a sit.", One of them said.
Ken took a sit on the cold bed.
"*Whisper* Even the sheets are fucking cold?", He whispered to himself.
"Open your eyes wide.", One of the ladies told Ken.
"Huh?", He inquired.
She repeated, "Open your eyes wide.".
"Oh..", Ken cooperate.
Ken opened his eyes wide. One of ladies with jet black hair took out an eye contacts out of a box. She lay down the eye contact gently on his eye.
"*Whisper* Why do I need an eye contact?", Ken asked.
"Make sure to never take it out, understood?", The lady asked.
Ken replied, "Sure..".
Ken blinked his eyes two times and slowly got out the feeling of the contacts in his eyes.
"Ok, now shallow these pills.", The black haired lady said. He handed him two white pills and cup of water.
Ken took the objects from the ladies hand and preformed what was needed.
He opened his mouth and put the two pills in at once and drop drunk some water and shallowed the pills.
Immediately, the effects of the pills hit Ken but it was something that he didn't except. His eyes started to get heavy and his brained started to be relaxed. Was he given sleeping pills?
Ken fell down flatly on the cold bed. With his slowly closing eyes, he was the two ladies watch him as he falls asleep.
"..."

"The surgery is completed.", A faint feminine voiced said.
Ken eyes were slowly opening. His heart was beating rapidly.
"What the hell?", Ken cussed. This alerted the awaken of Ken to the ladies.
The blond haired lady came to his side and asked, "Are you alright?".
Ken answered sleepily, "*Yawn* I guess so.".
"Can you walk?", She asked.
Ken got of the bed immediately and said,"Yeah.".
"Ok. I advise you to go to your room and get some rest.", The lady said.
"Sure.", Ken said while rubbing his eyes.
"*Whisper* What the heck happened?", He asked himself.
While this was happening, something was else was beginning.
[Level 100.]
Level 100; the final level of the shelter. It was smalls level of all the others. It was more like a house instead of a community.
Crowds of people were filled this area. The place was luxurious with crimson red and gold paint bringing a theme to the level. Rich dark brown colored chairs and round tables was placed down in the level. Entirely the place looked like a casino.
The people who came in were wearing paper eye mask of all different types of animals. They all took a sit and the level went quite.
The orange filtered lights than were replaced with black, leaving the level entirely dark. A circle of white light then appears on the stage infront of all the furniture and people.
On the stage was a man. Through the lion theme mask was blue sparkling eyes. He began to speak to the audience.
With enlightenment, he said, "Welcome everyone to today's event.".
The crowd cheered, roared and clapped, bring great attention and power towards this man.
Above the head of the man are three flat screens. The man takes a remote of his pocket and presses a button. The screen is turned and shows a bunch person point of view, walking.
"Today and onwards, these low class citizens will be bringing us entertainment. These are the father's that supply the shelter. These chosen teams will be forcefully trapper outside the shelter.", The man said.
The cacophony of mumbles of people creates a echo of noises.
"Now, I know what you're thinking. Who will supply the shelter and isn't this a bit cruel. Well these are the teams that have been chosen; teams 0077 to 0087. In total these are ten teams; and those ten teams have an reason to be chosen." The man continued.
The crowd begins to listen cleanly at the man's words.
"All of these teams have soon bad results. Some with their overall behavior and some because of their skills. To be honest, all these low class kids have soon how useless they are to the shelter; and we don't need useless people putting our home in jeopardy.".
"So they'll do someone useful. Given us, their superiors entertainment by putting their lives on the line.".
The crowd of people began to cheer once again.
"Now I want all of you to place your bets on any individual, who you think will survive outside for a year without the protection of shelter. The maximum amount of individuals you get to pick is ten, so pick wisely!".
This was the event that the man had made. Gambling on the people who risk their lives for the shelter and make ends meat are now label rats to the rich. These are the requirements.
The man on stage whispered to himself, "*Whisper* I guess that book 'Worlds Addiction' was right.".
