Sam wondered down the steps towards the Jail Cells. He walked past a fellow soldier, whose duty was to watch over the prisoners, and dismissed him. The soldier saluted him and left. Wondering through the dark corridor, Sam glimpsed into the bars conceiving the insane criminals inside. Some were sitting in a corner rockin themselves to sleep. Some sat in a straight jacket, some sat speaking to themselves. Some say crying. Some slept. Some stood and did all these things. And some just say their, thinking to themselves. Disgusting insane thoughts filling their empty minds. Then, there was a cell at the end. The last occupied cell. Inside was a man, slumped in the corner, his legs stretched along the cold, concrete floor. His right arm cradling his chest, holding it as if he were in pain. His hair covered his face but his legs have away who he was. "John," Sam whispered, John looked up and smiled; "Sam. You came! Quick, help me out." Sam nodded and took the cell keys from his belt and unlocked the cell door. All generals had a set of cell keys, just in case. John got up and walked out of the cell, he started to pick up the pace and go forward, towards the steps; "John, the Pure, they attacked earlier. We stopped 'em. Jackel isn't gonna attack 'till Sabre is resurrected. Jackel is..." John hushed him as they crept up the stairs, toward Sarah's office. "Sam, you need to go into my office first, if she asks what do you want ask her about the situation and I'll surprise attack her. Got it?" Sam nodded and walked into the office. He knocked on the door and walked in. Sarah was observing the footage from the fight again and looked up and looked back down. She sighed and asked; "Yes general?" Sam swallowed and asked away; "Do you know the location of the last Beast Weapon?" She tapped on her keyboard and closed the window for the surveillance and opened up a map application/software. She observed it; "Yes, it's at co-ordinates; -373,86. That okay?" John nodded and she got up an went to grab something from her cupboard. John rushed in and into the cupboard. From inside could be heard; Sarah gasp and scream, a thud, then John laughing. Sarah crawled out of the cupboard, her nose bleeding and John followed, a massive grin on his face. "So Sarah," he started; "Missed me? Haha. So, I hear Jackel was the first Anarchy, right? He's only gonna attack once Sabre is resurrected? Yeah? Ringing any bells?" He slapped her across the face and laughed. He stood up and looked at Sam; "Get the final Beast Weapon. Then we will attack Sabre. Jackel won't be far away from Sabre's resurrection spot. I don't know why but he will be. Go!" Sam rushed out of the room ordering his men to meet him at the Castle gates via walkie talkie. "Oh John," Sarah said; "You really are an arse!" He smiled and replied; "I know dearest but so are you. Now it's time for the show. We have the Beast Weapons, we will be victorious." She laughed and shook her head and he punched her in the face. Then he whispered in her ear; "I never liked you." He dragged her to the window, his hand gripping her arm, then he threw her out of the window. She screemed and screemed until finally, she collided with the foggy, wet ground, shattering her bones.
