Milan's Mom: (Smiling) Ok, seems like everything is here...Good job--

Milan's Dad: Hold on...Where is the bread?

Milan: (Shocked) Uh...

Milan's Mom: (Shocked) Oh yeah I forgot about that...I don't see it anywhere

They both started spotting Milan's expression

MIlan: (Shocked) Uh...(Smiling)

While they were eating dinner, they were talking about what Milan did with the bread

Milan's Dad: (Smiling) You really did that son? Way to go

Milan: (Smiling) MmHm

He spotted two guys stabbing a corpse, he quickly hid behind a wall

Milan: (Freightened) Who...Who are they? I should probably go get Mom and Dad

Milan turned around and spotted his Parent's room opened completely

Milan: (Frieghtened) Hold on...What are they stabbing?

Milan slowly looked back at the two men stabbing the corpes. Milan spotted the faces of the corpes. It was his Mom and Dad

Milan: (Freightened, Tearing up and Thinking) M-Mom...D-Dad...No, th-this is a crazy nightmare right? Right?

Person 1D: (Smiling seriously) Man these were some easy kills, great idea sneaking into Zeroes

One guy started walking towards Milan

Person 1E: (Shocked) Wait, what are you--

Suddenly, the guy started aiming his gun at Milan

Milan: (Frieghtening and Gasped)...

Person 1E: (Shocked) Wait what the hell are you doing? We can't kill a kid--

Person 1D: (Serious) Don't you get it!? If we let him live he'll just tell everyone he know, give everyone a description of us and then The 1,000 will be on our ass

Person 1E: (Sad) I mean, true but--

Person 1D: (Serious) This is the only way...This...Is the only way

Milan: (Frieghtening)...No...Please no...

Milan started freaking out, having many thoughts in his head

Milan: (Thinking and Frieghtening) I'm gonna die! Am I gonna die?! Why are they here?! Is this how I die?! Why?! Why?! Why!?

Suddenly, his eyes started turning orange and orange lightning started surrounding him

Person 1D: (Shocked)...

Milan: (Frieghtened) Ah! Ah! AAAHHH!!!

The whole house exploded, Milan jumped high out of the house to someplace far away from the house. On top of a tree, a person spotted Milan land

Ryan: (Smiling) Hm...So it's him

The next morning-

Milan woke up not knowing what happened

Milan: (Shocked) Huh? Mom...Dad...

All he knew was that he was somewhere far from his house, he only go to places close but never this far

Milan: (Shocked) Where...Where am I--

Ryan: (Smiling) Hello!!!

Milan: (Shocked) Huh?

He turned around and spotted someone standing on top of a wall

Milan: (Shocked)...Why are you up there?

Ryan: (Smiling and Thinking) That's what he's going to ask? (Talking and Smiling) Are you the person who jumped high up last night!?

Milan: (Shocked) Huh? No I don't think--

Ryan: (Smiling) That was a test...Then you don't remember

Milan: (Shocked)...Wait...What do you--

Then, Milan looked under him and saw a giant hole

Milan: (Scared) I...I don't...I--

Ryan: (Smiling) Whoa whoa it's alright kid

Ryan jumped down

Ryan: (Smiling) Why don't you just follow me? Then we'll discuss what you remember...Ok?

Milan: (Shocked)....

Later-

They were walking through a farmers market while talking

Ryan: So, what exactly do you remember?

Ryan quickly snatched a apple from a table with Milan noticing him do it

Milan: (Shocked) I...(Sad) I don't know...the last I remember is dozing off to sleep. Look I appreciate you trying to help but I need to head to my house

Ryan: Ok, well I know the way, although you'll be disappointed what you'll see

Milan:...Hm? What do you--(Shocked)

Milan suddenly spotted the number shown on Ryan's hand. 57. Milan started backing away

Ryan: (Shocked) Hm, hey what's...

Ryan realized his hand was showing 

Ryan: (Shocked) Shit! Could've sworn I bandaged that--

He spotted Milan running away from him

Ryan: (Irritated)...Shit...

Milan ran into a alley and hid behind a box

Milan: (Scared and Thinking) A 57? Why is one here in Zeroes?

He checked to make sure Ryan wasn't there

Milan: (Scared) Ok...Ok I think I'm fine

Ryan: (Smiling) Hey, don't know why you're overreacting like that

Milan: (Shocked and Gasped)...

Milan slowly turned around and spotted him

Ryan: (Smiling) I mean I get I'm a 50 and all but not all 50's are bad...Actually never mind

Milan quickly spotted a pipe and started swinging it towards Ryan. Ryan quickly grabbed it

Ryan: (Smiling) Ok bad joke, I know

Milan: (Angry) You're one of those 50's that be coming to the Zeroes for easy kill aren't you?

Ryan: (Shocked) Huh? No I'm not one of those--

Milan: (Angry) It doesn't matter! The fact that you have a number means you're trespassing in the Zerolands

Ryan:...Then...That make's the two of us

Milan: (Shocked) Wait, what do you mean?

Milan looked at his right hand. It said 2. Milan suddenly dropped to the floor

Milan: (Freaking out)...What? But I don't...I don't

Ryan walked towards him and touched his shoulder

Ryan: Just follow me kid

Milan: (Freaking out)....

Later-

They made it to the house, but there was nothing much left

Milan: (Shocked) What? What happened? We--We must be somewhere else, this is a giant place after all

Ryan: Look, there's the playground, there's the small market, this is the place

Milan: (Shocked)...Wait where's Mom? And Dad?

Milan ran to the little remains of the house and started moving stuff out of the way to find his parents

Milan: (Freaking out) Where are they?

Ryan: Kid

Milan: (Freaking out) Where are they?!

Ryan: (Angry) Kid!!!

Milan: (Freaking out) Where are they?!

Ryan: (Angry) Milan they're--

Milan: (Shocked and Gasped).....

He saw his parents...Dead

Milan: (Shocked)...(Crying) Did I...Did I kill them?

Ryan: No it wasn't, your parents only show stab wounds...As for those over there

Ryan pointed at the two guys who were in pieces

Ryan: Those are the two you killed

Milan: (Shocked)...What happened? How did I kill them?

Milan spotted his mother's cross and grabbed it

Milan: (Sad) What...Do I do now?

Ryan: Well...Since you killed 2 people, you have to now leave this city, any minute now the guards are going to track your hand and find you

Milan: (Shocked) W-Wait

Milan ran back to Ryan

Milan: (Shocked) It was only an accident though

Ryan: But do you think they'll believe that? Look when you kill your first person, you're living the rest of your life killing in order to survive

Milan: (Shocked) But, I can explain--

Ryan: (Irritated) Look even if you do convince them how do you think you'll live the rest of your life here? Everyone is going to be afraid of you

Milan: (Shocked) Uh...

Ryan:...And just about time

Milan was looking at him for some time but then spotted a guard with a tracker

Milan: (Shocked) Wait, is that a--

Ryan: (Smiling) See ya!!!

Ryan jumped on top of a building

Milan: (Shocked) Wait, what are you doing?!

Ryan: (Smiling) You think a 50 like me should be spotted by a guard here? Look, I'll just see you later ok? Ok!!!

Ryan jumped from one building to the next away from Milan

Milan: (Shocked) Wait...Come back...Please--

Soldier 1A: (Serious) Freeze kid!!!

Milan: (Shocked) Huh?

He looked behind and saw five guards with guns surrounded him

Milan: (Scared)...

Ryan-

Ryan jumped on top of a building but then stopped

Ryan:...(Smiling) Milan is something else...

He looked up at the giant border between Zeroes and Mako city(Where 20-50's reside)

Ryan: (Smiling) Welp, guess I gotta started climbing, before Milan starts his trial...Just know that kid's going to pussy out

Milan-

Milan was taken into a base with a bunch of other people with numbers. He spotted some with a 1, one with a 5, even one with a 10. There was 20 people inside the room

Milan: (Scared and Thinking) Please...Please tell me this is a nightmare...(Crying and Thinking) Please

General: (Serious) So you all chose the life of killing huh?!

Milan spotted a guy standing before them

General: (Serious) Well you know the rules. Once you kill your first person there's no going back, and in order to make it to Mako city, you have to kill each other...until you have more than 10 kills. That's the rule! Do I make myself clear!?

Milan stood up

Milan: Um sir

General: (Serious) Hm? The hell you stand up for kid?

Milan: I-I just wanna say...I...I'm not supposed to be here! Look I have no idea how I got this number but I swear it was a accident--

General: (Serious) Hey lad, what's your name?

He started walking towards Milan

Milan: (Shocked) My--My name is Milan sir--

The General pushed him down to the floor

General: (Serious) I don't give a damn what you did or how it happened. As long as you have a number other then 0, the rest of your life is nothing but two choices...Kill, or be killed...Got it?

Milan: (Scared).....

General: (Serious)...The Trial will start soon

The General walked away

Milan: (Scared)...

Thomas: Hey, hey kid

Milan: (Shocked) Huh?

Thomas: (Smiling) Hey, need a hand up?

Milan: (Shocked)...Y-Yeah

Milan grabbed his hand and stood up

Milan: (Smiling slightly) Thanks

Thomas: No problem, hey, sorry about what happened

Milan: (Sad)...It's fine, (Smiling) I'm just glad there's still people in here that still act like...People

Thomas: (Shocked)...(Smiling) Look, what's your name?

Milan: (Smiling) Milan, what's you're--

Thomas: (Smiling) Look Milan, you see my hand?

Milan: (Shocked).....

Thomas's number showed a 23

Milan: (Scared)...Wait...You...

Thomas: (Smiling) And if you're wondering, yes it was on purpose

Milan: (Scared) 20 people? Here? In Zeroes?

Thomas: (Smiling) Yep...You see, I heard many rumors of what's outside of these walls...Mako city, the city of 10's through 50's...Do you know that colony has houses on top of other houses? Out here it's all broken up and disgusting, but that's not all. There's even guns, gadgets, even these little balls that explode

Milan: (Scared).....

Thomas: (Smiling menacingly) Then there's even Locontan city, the colony of 50's through 99's, the entire place is like a giant city; giant buildings, better weapons, the food way better than the shit we have to eat here

Milan: (Sad)...(Crying)

Thomas: (Smiling menacingly) Then Manium, which is where 100's through 998's live. I heard it's practically the future there with the flying cars and very powerful weapons...But do you know the one place I want to go to right now?! The Gods, the land where The 1,000 lives, where we can find paradise, where heaven is...That's all I want...Just a life like that

Narrator: For those who are still confused, once you kill your first person, you are ordered to take the trial to get more than 10 kills in order to go to Mako city.  Mako city has apartment complex's, weaponry, and food that's way better than the things they ate in Zeroes. Although, the better your life get, the worst it'll take for you to survive. Living in any place other then Zeroes, you always got to watch your back, cause it can happen any minute, any second. As your number goes up your life get's better but your chances of survival get lower until you make it to The Gods. There at The Gods the 1,000(The leader of the entire world they live in) give the person who's 999 a choice. Either live in The Gods in peace, or fight em for their name. Though no one has ever won that title before

Milan: (Crying) Let me ask you something, the people you killed...Who were they to you?

Thomas: (Shocked) Hm? Well...(Smiling) That's a pretty dumb question. Do you think my family would've let me walk willingly in here--

Milan punched him

Milan: (Angry and Crying) You killed your family?! What the hell is wrong with you?! All so you can live a better life?! You are a sick bastard...You disgust me

Thomas: (Shocked)...(Mad) You know what kid? Milan...I want you to be my first kill

Milan: (Shocked)...What? But--But you're number...You can't--

Thomas: (Serious) I can, that General said kill more than 10 people...He doesn't give a damn what number we had before we came here...(Smiling)

Milan: (Scared)...Wait--

General: (Serious) Alright! Everyone!!!

Milan: (Shocked and Gasped)...

Milan saw the General standing next to a dark room

General: (Serious) We're ready

Milan: (Shocked).....

Thomas: (Smiling)...See you out there...Milan

Thomas started walking to the room

Milan: (Freaking out)...No...No...I'm not supposed be here! I don't belong here! I belong with my Mom and Dad! I'm supposed to be with my best friend--

General: (Serious) You again kid!?

Milan: (Shocked)....

Milan realized that he was the only person in the room

General: (Mad)...Get your ass in here!!!

Milan: (Scared).....

Milan slowly walked towards the room

General: (Serious)...In here

Milan looked in there and saw six tubes

Milan: (Shocked)...What are...

General: (Serious) Choose a tube, whatever one you go to, it'll transport you somewhere none of the other people went to. Once you get to the location you'll find a case on the right side of you with a pistol and a knife

Milan:...Right...

Milan walked up to the closest tube to him

Milan: (Sad).....

Milan jumped inside there. The tube making him go extremely fast, made him jump high out of it once he made it to where the trial is held

Milan:...Ow...

Milan looked around and saw himself in a cave

Milan: (Sad)...I'm here

He spotted the case on the right of him. He started crawling over there to see what he had. As what the General said. A gun and a knife

Milan: (Sad)...I...I can't do this

Announcer: Everyone taking the trial are now inside...The trial shall commence in 3...2...1--

After he said 1, a gun shot already came, then another

Milan: (Scared) I can't do this...I can't do this...I can't--

Ryan: (Smiling) Called it

Milan: (Screaming)

Ryan: Ow! (Irritated) Do you want people to know you're here?

Milan: (Shocked) Uh...Ryan?!

Ryan: (Smiling) Hey

Milan: (Shocked)...I don't...How are you here?

Ryan: (Smiling) Easy...I climbed the wall

Milan: (Irritated) You climbed the wall? Well that's a lie

Ryan: Hm? But it's true

Milan: Well...Why are you here?

Ryan: (Smiling)...Well, I know people like you...

Milan: (Shocked) Like...Me?

Ryan: Yep...Afraid, scared of almost everything--

Milan: (Irritated) You meant that

Ryan:...Yeah, look here's the thing. Everyone else here was prepared for this life...Except for you. You're not a killer Milan, I'm the only one who knows that...So it's only fair I help you out

Milan: (Shocked) Really? Thanks--

Ryan: (Serious) But, I can't help you forever...So you need to learn how to be a killer, it pains me to even say that to a person such as yourself but...(Smiling) We can talk about this later...Till then, stay in here, under a rock or something

Milan: (Shocked) Wait, I don't get it...

Ryan: Hm? What now?

Milan: (Shocked) H-How is you killing them any help for me? Shouldn't it show on my hand how many I've killed?

Ryan: Yep...(Smiling menacingly) that's why Imma kill every last one

Milan: (Shocked)...What--

Ryan: (Smiling) Bye!!!

Ryan jumped on to a tree then jumped to the next

Milan: (Shocked)...(Sad)

Ryan-

Ryan jumped on a another tree but then stopped and hid once he spotted someone below him

A woman with a pistol stopped running below him to rest

Woman 1A: (Panting) That was hella close...(Hurting) Shit!!!

She got shot in the shoulder

Woman 1A: (Panting) Dammit, the worst part about this...Is that I have to keep this bullet inside of me until I can get enough kills to--

A knife suddenly came from below stabbing her and killing her in a instant. Ryan landed on the floor

Ryan: May you Rest In Peace...(Smiling) Besides I did you a favor, you would've bled out with that wound

Ryan saw that ladies gun on the floor and grabbed it

Ryan: Hm...Only two bullets...And her number is 1...She's a bad shooter

Ryan started to aim at nothing but the dark forest in front of him

Ryan: And...

He pulled the trigger and killed someone from very far away

Ryan: (Smiling) Good

He checked his hand showing a 59

Ryan: (Smiling) Welp...17 to go

Thomas-

Once the battle started, Thomas has been only grabbing people and sticking them to trees and rock with their knives. Thomas's now sticking someone to a tree

Thomas: (Serious) Stay here, I'll come to kill you later

He started walking away

Man 1A: (Shocked) Hold on...Why aren't you killing me now?!

Thomas turned around looking menacing

Man 1A: (Scared) Not that I want you to or--

Thomas: (Serious) I don't want to kill you yet...Because you're not the person I want to kill first

Man 1A: (Shocked and Gasped)...

Thomas: (Serious) Is that all?

Man 1A: (Shocked).....

Thomas: (Serious) Good...

Thomas started walking away

Man 1A: (Shocked and Thinking) His first kill? Who is that?

Ryan-

Ryan has killed 5 more people already. Now he's been jumping from tree to tree trying to find the next person

Ryan: (Serious and Thinking) I don't get it...Where the hell are the other...(Shocked)

He stopped on a tree when he spotted many people stuck to trees, the ground, rocks

Ryan: (Shocked) Who the hell?

He landed on the floor

Ryan: (Serious) Hmmmm....

Man 1B: (Shocked) Excuse me?

Ryan: (Shocked) Hm? Oh, you're alive...Assumed whoever stuck y'all to the trees and floor gave you some type of poison

Ryan crouched down to the person laying on the ground

Ryan: (Shocked) Who did this to you?

Woman 1B: It was a guy saying we're not his first priority

Ryan looked behind him

Ryan: (Shocked) You're alive too?

Everyone: (Angry) We're all alive idiot!!!

Ryan: (Shocked)...Why did the guy say that you all aren't his first priority?

Man 1C: H-He said that he's looking for someone else

Man 1D: Yeah and he asked all of us if we knew him...Gave us a whole description of him and all of that

Ryan stood up to look at a person stuck far up on a tree

Ryan: (Shocked) Well what's the description?

Man 1D: Mmm...A nervous looking kid--

Ryan: (Shocked) Shit, Milan...(Serious) Why would he be after him?

Woman 1B: Hello? (Fake smiling) You think you can get us off?

Woman 1C: (Fake smiling) We're very uncomfortable

Ryan: (Serious) But since I'm already here, and these people are practically vulnerable...(Smiling)

Milan-

Milan was hiding behind a rock while holding the gun he got from his case

Milan: (Thinking) It's been a while since he left...I wonder...(Smiling and Thinking) Naw, the fact he climbed a wall that big must mean he has some experience...Also because of his very high number--

Milan heard footsteps getting closer and closer

Milan: (Shocked) Hm? Wonder if Ryan--(Shocked)

Thomas: (Smiling) Milan...Where are you?

Milan: (Scared and Thinking) He...He found me? But how?

Thomas: (Smiling) I was looking everywhere for you you know...Looked in the forest, in every cave but I still couldn't find you...(Smiling menacingly) But this was the last place I haven't checked yet

Thomas showed his knife

Thomas: (Smiling menacingly) So you are definitely here...All I gotta do is play a little hide and seek

Milan: (Scared)....

Ryan-

Ryan was running fast back to the cave

Ryan: (Serious) I'm coming Milan

Behind him was a trail of dead bodies

Milan-

Thomas started kicking rocks and boulders trying to find Milan

Thomas: (Smiling menacingly) Well? Where are you Milan?! Come out come out!!!

Milan: (Scared and Thinking) No! No! No! No! No! I gotta find a way out, but how? How?! Wait a minute

Milan took a peek at Thomas smashing some rocks

Milan: (Shocked and Thinking) He doesn't have his gun...So, maybe I have a chance to kill--But can I?

Thomas: (Smiling menacingly) Where are you?! I know you're in here!!!

Milan: (Serious) I'm here

Thomas: (Shocked) Oh, there you are...Finally...Hm?

Milan was pointing a gun at Thomas

Thomas: (Smiling)...What do you have there kid? I know for a fact you don't know how to shoot it, just give it to me--

Milan: (Angry) Put the knife down!!!

Thomas: (Shocked)...Seriously...(Smiling) Well I can't do that kid, sorry but--

Milan: (Angry) I won't say it again!!!

Thomas: (Smiling)...Shoot, you won't

Milan: (Serious)...

Milan's hand started shaking while holding the gun

Milan: (Serious and Thinking) Shit! I just knew I could do this, now I'm shaking like crazy...This isn't working

Thomas: (Smiling) You know, instead of me dropping my knife...(Smiling menacingly) Why don't you drop your gun?

Milan: (Serious)...

Thomas started walking closer and closer towards him

Milan: (Angry)...Stop!!!

Thomas: (Smiling)...I won't...

Milan: (Nervous and Serious)...Fine

Milan pulled the trigger, unfortunately it missed him

Milan: (Shocked and Gasped).....

Thomas: (Shocked) Whoa, you actually did it, didn't hit me but you still did it...(Smiling) I'm impressed...And for that, I'll give you a easy fast death...Is that good to you?

Thomas started running fast towards him

Milan: (Scared and Thinking) Shit!!!

Milan started shooting at Thomas, all of them missing him

Milan: (Scared and Thinking) Come on! Come on! Come on!!!

Thomas: (Smiling) Say hey to my parents for me--

Pow!!!

Milan opened his eyes

Milan: (Shocked).....

Milan shot Thomas in his shoulder at the last second

Thomas: (Shocked)...Man...Hurt like hell

Milan: (Shocked and Thinking) I shot him in the shoulder? That's it?

Thomas: (Smiling) Milan, you're alright with me man...You just keep on surprising me...

Milan: (Scared).....

Thomas: (Smiling) Thomas, that's my name...Just thought you should know that...Welp--

Ryan: (Serious) Stop right there!!!

Milan: (Gasped)

Thomas: (Serious) Hm? Who the hell are you?

Milan: (Shocked) Ryan...

Ryan: (Serious)...(Smiling) So you are trying to get Milan, tell me; what did he do?

Thomas paid his attention to Ryan

Thomas: (Smiling) Well this piece of shit punched me...Only trying to get him back

Ryan: (Smiling) Seriously!? Haha, I would do the same if I was you!!!

Milan: (Mad and Thinking) What the hell is he doing?!

Thomas: (Laughing)

Ryan: (Laughing) Yeah...(Smiling) But I can't let you do that buddy

Thomas: (Smiling) Had a feeling you'll say that...

Thomas turned to Milan

Thomas: (Smiling) What's your connection with him?

Ryan got out his knife

Ryan: (Smiling seriously) Nothing really, just a friend trying to help him out

Milan: (Shocked)....

Thomas: (Smiling) I see...Alright then, guess this is gonna be a knife battle

Ryan and Thomas: (Smiling) Hey Milan, just stay there, I'll finish him off and be over there soon!!!

Milan: (Shocked) W-Wait a minute--

Both Ryan and Thomas started running at each other. They both dodged each other's knife attacks. Ryan quickly kicked Thomas to the rocky wall and threw his knife at him. Thomas quickly dodged the knife and started running towards him since he was vulnerable. Ryan quickly dodged Thomas's attack and punched him in the stomach. Ryan kicked him to the ground making him drop his knife

Ryan: (Smiling).....

Thomas: (Serious).....

Thomas quickly stood back up and punched Ryan in the face twice. Ryan ducked down, grabbed Thomas's arm, and threw him to the floor. Thomas slid to the ground next to Ryan's knife, he grabbed it and stood up

Thomas: (Mad)....

Ryan turned to Thomas's knife and grabbed it. They started running towards each other again and were in a series of attacks from each other until Ryan grabbed Thomas's arm holding the knife and Thomas doing the same with Ryan's arm. Ryan quickly grabbed his knife back and Thomas doing the same and were continuing the series of attacks from each other. Thomas, finally attacking Ryan in the face with his knife, kicked him to the rocky wall. Ryan's cheek started letting out a little blood

Thomas: (Smiling menacingly) You're done!!!

Milan: (Shocked) No!!!

As soon as Thomas came with an attack he stopped

Thomas: (Shocked)...Uh...

Thomas's stomach was slit open. He fell to the floor bleeding out

Milan: (Shocked)...How...Did...

He turned to Ryan and spotted him with a sword

Ryan: (Sighing)...(Smiling) Well that was struggle

Milan ran towards Ryan

Milan: (Shocked) Where did you get that sword from?

Ryan: (Smiling)...Look...

He pressed a button on his sword automatically turning it into a knife

Ryan: (Smiling) It's a knife that turns into a sword...Pretty cool right? Got it from the Locontan city, the only place that makes them

Milan: (Shocked)...Huh...

Thomas: (Hurting) You...Damn...

Ryan: (Smiling) I know...

He crouched down

Ryan: (Smiling) I tricked you...Well that's who I am...A trickster

Thomas: (Hurting)...(Hurting and Smiling) Good one...

Milan: (Sad)....

Milan walked towards Thomas

Thomas: (Smiling) Hey...Didn't think this would be the outcome huh...

Milan: (Sad)...It's funny...You who's about to die is smiling...While I'm the one who's feeling sad

Thomas: (Smiling).....

Milan: (Sad)...Why? Why did have to be like this? We could've worked together...You could've survived with me

Thomas: (Smiling)...Yeah...It could've been like that...But it would've never happened...All my life of sleeping in the cold and eating only the little things around...I was tired of it...I just wanted...A better life...You didn't want that too?

Milan: (Sad)...Of course not...My life here was amazing...There hasn't been not one day I didn't smile...Until today...(Crying) And...I hate it...I hate this life I have to be in now. I don't want to kill just to have a better life

Thomas: (Smiling)...Milan...We are so different...

Milan: (Tearing up)....

Thomas: (Smiling) But at the same time...We are so very alike...I kill in order to change my life forever...And soon, you'll do the same...You'll see...

Thomas closed his eyes

Ryan: (Serious).....

Milan wiped his face

Milan: (Sad) Goodbye...Thomas

Announcer: It's officially been 1 hour...Whoever is still alive please come to the outside border of Mako city

Ryan: (Sad)...Look...Milan--

Milan: (Serious) How do you even know my name?

Ryan: (Shocked) Huh?

Milan: (Serious)...I never told you my name

Ryan:...Look...I can hear footsteps...Someone will be here any minute to get you...Best I should be going

Ryan started walking away and jumped up to a tree

Milan: (Serious and thinking) But what I don't get...Is that I know his name as well...How?

Ryan-

Ryan climbed up the border between Mako city and Zeroes. He turned his knife into a sword and stabbed it to the wall while he was sliding down safely to the ground on the Mako city bridge. Ryan checked his right hand. 59 to 76

Ryan: (Serious)...

Milan-

Milan was walking with a guard to the Mako city border, he spotted the General over there

General: (Shocked) Hm?

The General walked towards the guard

General: (Serious) Where's the rest of them?

Soldier 1B: This was the only one sir

General: (Shocked)...You're kidding...This kid killed all of them!?

General spotted Milan's right hand still saying 2

General: (Shocked) Then why the hell does it still say 2?!

Soldier 1B: Sir, it's probably a malfunction with the Number Nomand ( A device in multiple areas in the world that shows the kills a person have on the palm of their hand)

General: (Serious)...Possibly...

General was staring at Milan; Milan was doing the same

General: (Serious)...Didn't think you had it in you kid...I'm impressed

Milan: (Sad)....

Later-

The General was calling the person who works inside the Number Nomand

General: (Serious)...Ok...Thank you

He hung up

General: (Serious) Alright, any second now your number will change

Milan spotted his number shifting. 2 to 21

Milan: (Shocked)...

General: (Serious) Ok...Since we're done with that, Imma inform them that we're ready for your transfer to the next colony

General spotted Milan staring at his number

General: (Serious) Hey!!!

Milan: (Shocked and Gasped)...Yeah?

General: (Serious)...You ok?

Milan: (Shocked)....Yeah

While the border's giant door was slowly going up, the General went to his computer typing up Milan's name(As the only person who passed the trial). His name was automatically sent to The 1,000

The Gods-

The 1,000, in her room, saw the name of the only person who passed the trial

The 1,000: (Gasped)...(Smiling) Well this is good news...Hear this Rome, it says the only person who passed the trial...Was Milan...My dear son finally passed the trial

Romalia: (Serious)...

The 1,000: (Smiling)...Then that must mean your brother already found him...Hey Rome, do me a favor and get him for me...And you know what to do if your brother interferes

Romalia: (Serious)...Kill him...

The 1,000: (Smiling)...Very good...If he's with Milan now, that means his one priority is finding a way to get the feminite out of him

Romalia: (Serious)...Yes mam, I'll start my pursuit down to Mako city

Romalia spotted a prisoner

Romalia: (Serious) And what about the prisoner miss?

The 1,000: (Smiling) Hm? Don't worry about her for now...She can't do anything in there

Tana: (Serious)....

Romalia: (Serious)...Yes mam

Romalia walked out of the room

The 1,000 turned to look at Tana

The 1,000: (Smiling)...Did you listen to that Tana? In no time...My son will come back to me

Tana: (Serious)...

Mako city

Ryan-

Ryan was still waiting for the border's door to open. While he was waiting, he started thinking about what happened the night Milan jumped high in the air. Once Ryan made it to where Milan landed, he spotted him asleep in the giant hole.

Ryan: (Serious)...(Smiling) That's him...That spark of lightning is definitely the Feminite's power possessing him...In order to get it...I guess I'll have to protect him just for a little bit

Ryan suddenly came back to reality once he spotted Milan walking towards him

Ryan: (Smiling and Thinking) I'll do whatever means necessary...To get that life back from me...(Smiling and Talking) Hey! Looks like you finally made it! About time!!!

Milan:...Yeah

Milan looked in the distance of Mako city

Ryan: (Smiling) Isn't it beautiful? Well not really but way better than Zeroes

Milan:...Ryan...Can I trust you?

Ryan:...(Smiling) Yeah...Of course

Milan:...(Smiling) Ok...

Ryan: (Smiling) So...What do you want to do now? You can live here if you want...And I'll show you how to survive here by yourself, shouldn't be really hard to--

Milan: No!!!

Ryan: (Shocked) Hm?

Milan:...(Serious) I'm not staying here...I'm...I'm going to The Gods...I want to change this world...I'm tired of this violence...I don't want to spend the rest of my life being afraid...If I kill The 1,000, I can change all of that

Ryan: (Shocked)...(Smiling) I see

Milan: Ryan...Will you help me do this?

Ryan: (Smiling)...Hey, someone has to help you make it up there in The Gods

Milan: (Smiling)...Thanks...

Ryan walked right next to him, staring at Mako city in the distance

Ryan: (Smiling) This will be one hell of an adventure...Well...Let's begin
