Chapter 8 - The touch game will begin

The touch game will begin.

The scene begins in the heart of a forest with the former armored soldier speaking through a headset in his helmet.

Armored Man: From Battalion 0-13 to Command Center. Over.

Command Center: Command Center responds. Dr. Mark is with you. Over.

Armored Man: I have two pieces of bad news and one piece of good news. Which one do you want to start with, Dr. Mark? Over.

Command Center: Start with the good. Over.

Armored Man: It's highly likely that the owner of the salamander's blood survived. This is the good news. Over.

Command Center: And the bad? Over.

Armored Man: It's possible that he died and his body was retrieved, or he survived and escaped. In either case, he's not here in the current area, and going deeper will increase our chances of being detected by the monsters. So, do you have any ideas? Over.

Command Center: Nonsense. I don't care if I died there or even if I was the monsters' dinner tonight. Return with his body, even if he's dead. Remember, "Vitsko" , you're a soldier who only obeys orders, and they might replace you! End

Armored Soldier Vitsko :...

Command Center: Am I clear? Soldier, answer or I'll report you for disobeying orders NOW!!

Armored Soldier Vitsko : Know and execute, Professor Mark

The scene cuts to Saka in the forest, walking wearily along a river bank.

The Purple Giant's reflection on the river's surface from above accompanies Saka as they talk.

Purple Giant: Saka, you have to move faster. There are people chasing you!!

Saka: No, no, you can't. I'm tired. I want to rest!! *Saka falls to half a knee on the ground*

Hey, Giant, I can't move. I'm tired.

Purple Giant: Damn it. I didn't think a normal fight like this would be enough to tire you out. Now move. If you don't want to fight anymore today, you have to move!! Now walk!!!! *Saka returns to a walking position and drags his legs wearily*

Saka: Damn it, don't scream. I hate loud noises.

*Saka starts walking towards more pain*
