And when the silence filled the room again, there was no Mara, and there was no happy Axels, a face that could not be painted.
When he heard no one there, as Mara walked slowly away and then some until their footsteps disappeared, he began to rise.
He turned to walk towards his cell, and then remembered:Oh yes, I need to talk to Uncle." He made a left towards the cell of his uncle, and upon reaching the cell, his uncle would be waiting for him.
"So you came, huh?" His uncle looked into his face, sorrowful as his own, and Axel said, "I need to know the truth about this place." He quickly shifted from the face full of sadness to the one full of determination and serious looks.
As Uncle Jackson searched under his bed, Axel got curious about what Uncle Jackson pulled out; something that resembled a book held together with ropes, and a square body with lenses protruding up and down, and his mind raced with thoughts of what the hell that could be.
Axel looks at this thing with his eyes but it makes him question what it is about. When he reads what's inside the book, he can see what it says. The book reads like a journal; there are many odd beings that Axel is unfamiliar with. "What is this?" There is a measure of curiosity on his face. "I don't know either, Axel. Your father gave me that before his last day," his uncle says.
And it was as if Axel's eyes were pointed to the square thing. "What's this thing?" And right away his uncle said, "They call it a camera. I don't know what the where that thing came from, but I can tell you how to make it work."
Axel was fascinated as his uncle slowly showed him how to use the old camera, but what followed was something no one could have prepared him for: The camera's screen whirred to life, playing a pixelated video of a man who looked eerily like him— his father.
Then his father said a word, I'm… Liam Sage. I can tell that you are wondering what this is. I was out in an area that a lot of you don't know." Axel is seemingly floored by the scene, and the clip goes on, "All information about the prison and the outside is here in this book. I know, Axel, that you know the time that has come for you to do whatever it takes because you will be so curious to know the truth. I will explain how this prison works… Axel and"" his uncle learned their somewhat serious watching of the video. "This prison was designed to create soldiers, super soldiers — day by day we are being farmed, and only those who can endure the test will survive, but some of those people who undergo the test will lose their memory. That is what happens to your mother, Axel. She says that she can't bear the pain of the pain of it, by extracting the memory of a person, the work becomes easier, they will become loyal to it's mission, they will be ready to die, there is no life in their face. And their enemies are not humans, it's beyond for your imagination, creatures that didn't supposed to be in this world, but also some of them survived,they have special abilities that they use it on battlefield." and suddenly silence field the room, "Axel if you don't want to loose something important, become a super soldier, and find me outside, and when you find me.. please.. kill me. That is my final wish for my son."
And there was no more video; Axel was filled with curiosity and the room was silent again. "That Mara will become a soldier … she's just a normal girl … why should it be her? "We roam freely in this place, and now we are only harvested, Hahaha — " Axel could be heard Yelling. A mammoth laugh rumbled out of him. He asked his uncle, How to" " become a soldier? His uncle, sweating, answered, I don't know, but… they say that in the tournament hosted by the higher-ups, a tournament for their and the peoples entertainment, they say that after winning that they will grant a wish." Axel smile only made his uncle more concerned with what he would do.
This is what Uncle, I am going to go into this tournament, help me, on a very broad smile face seems like he enjoyed.
"Listen up, Axel," his uncle said, his tone suddenly serious. "I understand that you think you're tournament-ready, but let me inform you that the tournament is not for the faint of heart. That tournament is savage. Every individual who walks into that arena is playing for their life. "To survive, you'll have to confront your deepest fears and test your boundaries." And Axel made a face as if to say, "Big deal. And according to them, he said the things he meant, his uncle is shocked; after realizing the truth, it seems the former finds purpose in his life.
"You must get allies, Axel; you need a team to participate in the tournament and besides you don't have time; the tournament will take place in 3 days. His uncle appears concerned for him. "I'll be the one that's going to have a problem with it," Axel replied.
He began asking every prisoner if they wanted to form an alliance with him, but all they replied was, "You're so weak, kid.". He continues to find allies.
Introducing Axel who upon encountering a pack of grizzled warriors, whose faces boasted of accumulated scars and whose eyes glinted with hardened ferocity, asked if he was worthy to join their ranks, only to be met with a derisive howl of laughter from the pack's leader, "Oh, child? He thinks he can win the tournament? HA HA-HA HA, you'd be lucky to survive a second, you'd do better scrubbing toilets, son!" Now the man got up from his spot and walked over to Axel he had a smug expression and gestured for him to come over, making the boy's back straightened and resting an over-sized fist in front of him.
"Come here, kid; you've got the fortitude to go into the tournament.". And Axel tells a mysterious man, "If you're only here to mock me, I don't have time; I need to find allies." The man appears to be fascinated with him. "No, we're not going to laugh at you. But we need a member and just one member. Axel stares at the man and replies, So? and the man says– We want you to become a member and become the frontliner. (A sinister smile creeps across the man's face as he says this, but Axel has learned their gameplay, and he takes their deal.) He looks in their cell, and there are already four in there—two were both on the bed and one was sitting at the table and he is the last man they need" "" "".
The crew introduces themselves. "Who I am is Kaid Rylan; I am the leader of this group. "Yo, I'm Elijah Thompson; call me Eli; nice to meet you, kid." And Kaid speaks, "Those two girls are Ava Morales and that girl is Lila Everett. "Good to meet you, kiddo; you look like you have a strong body." He stares at her with a grotesque grin. "Nice to meet you; I hope we'll be able to work together." This one Lila she received on his words with a shy look on his face.
"So what's your purpose? The tournament Do you wish to join in? What's your wish?, Kaid asked him with a furrowed brow, to which Axel replied, "I want to become a soldier. The room fell silent, and Eli asked him, "What, a soldier?, what for?" Axel pulled the book from his coat and handed it over to Eli. And Eli looked at the book and he got quiet and told Kaid to lock the door. " So you want to go outside? I'm right? "It appears so serious that it leaves Axel with a feeling of fatigue. Kaid waited for a word: "We all have an idea behind what is going on, inside and outside; also, we wanted to know what's going on, but we are a bunch of idiots in this prison."
"I know we are just cowards, but when I am a soldier, everything is going to be well," said Axel. "Are you crazy? You are aware of it; when you test, you will forget all," observed Eli. Axel fired back, " Yeah, I know, but when did they say we have to take the test if all we're going to do is want to become soldiers? It left them speechless, their response. "I'll go with you, honey." Ava looked at him with lust. "I want to go with you. "I don't want to be closed up in this prison," Lila said. "Looks like we are led by the nose, we will be on your plan, kid, but once it doesn't go by your plan, you will pay. Eli gave him a serious look. Axel nodded.
Now Axel finds allies. What is he going to do now? The tournament is held in 3 days. Will they win, or will they lose?
