As the trio stood amidst the volcanic landscape, Mal's sarcastic tone cut through the tension, his words dripping with sardonic humor.
"What's the plan, fearless leader?" Mal quipped, his smirk evident even in the dim light of the molten terrain. "Are we going to trap Adam's team and the rest of the stragglers, or are we diving headfirst into the fray like true heroes?"
Jun Ho's stoic expression remained unchanged as he considered Mal's question, his gaze fixed on the horizon with an intensity that bordered on obsession. "This is the final stage," he replied, his voice devoid of emotion. "Failing to plan is planning to fail. We must proceed with caution if we are to emerge victorious."
