Back to us, Chris was a sixteen year old boy, as were all his classmates, with wavy brown hair, hazel eyes, a square shaped face, and wore square glasses. He dressed in a white sweatshirt, black jeans, and sneakers.

Chris: "Hey, Loris! I've been waiting for you! What's up man?" he greeted amicably.

Loris: "Hi, Chris!!! Thank you and Andrea, you have made our day lighter with this assembly. You know, tomorrow night I will have to guard the Carlo Anti to check if anyone or anything tries to sneak in here, the Principal must have good reasons to recruit some students. Also we get school credits for the Maturity, I only accepted for that." he said stressed about what he will have to do next as they entered the courtroom.

Chris: "Tell me, do you think the I.M.P. can visit you? Besides, do you know you will be in the dark with a fucking flashlight? If I'm not mistaken, Professor Stefano will help you with handling cameras, walkie talkie communication, and all those security related things! Our professor..." narrated sarcastically as he closed the classroom door so that a tinfoil ball hit Chris's head.

Chris: "HEY! Who the fuck was that?!" he shouted, touching his head as he looked at his classmates angrily and kicked the tinfoil ball away.

Most remained silent except for one, the second representative: Andrea. Andrea was a tall boy with curly brown hair, hazel eyes, and wore round glasses. He was wearing an orange sweatshirt, blue jeans, and white sneakers. At that moment he was sitting at his counter with his feet propped up on a chair as he finished eating a sandwich leisurely.

Andrea: "Dude, we have a meeting to have, let me say my piece first." he said getting up cheerfully and lightheartedly reaching for Chris and Loris forcefully wrapping two arms one around their necks as they tried to free themselves.

Andrea: "Guys! Listen to me, everyone!" said to the rest of the class, drawing everyone's attention.

Chris: "For fuck's sake! Set us free!!!" he muttered annoyed as he tried to free himself, which Loris also did.

Andrea: "Calm down you two!" he said sarcastically with amusement.

Andrea: "In the meantime, good morning! My name is Andrea, from 3AII, and as a representative I decided to use these two hours to tell you something very important and currently under discussion at this time." he said wryly, leading the students to giggle.

Andrea: "You are not only the representative!!! We have decided..." he interrupted him angrily.

Andrea: "Yes, yes, whatever! I will now state my thoughts about it."

After a few seconds of silence he let out a very powerful belch making even the walls shake, sort of like a Tyrannosaurus Rex. After he concluded, the comrades burst out laughing like crazy while Chris and Loris managed to free themselves from Andrea who died of laughter.

Chris: "You suck!!! Do you realize that you are even representative!!!? And this is how you show your class your maturity!?!!" he exclaimed annoyed.

Loris: "There is no denying it, but he is right!" he said with a smile.

Andrea: "All right, all right, all right, people!!! Let Chris have the floor then!" he said chuckling as he sat down on the desk.

Loris stepped back to give the representative a little more space and thus approaching his friends.

Chris: "With this assembly we wanted to tell you about what is happening today! Those killer demons have been spotted many times on our territory, for example last night a woman noticed two yellow eyes staring at them in the dark and luckily she was able to escape in time. To Eye Of Earth, these demons are a very serious threat to the world, but I think differently. Have you noticed that they kill more evil people than innocent people? What if they came to Earth to help us in a way?" he said thoughtfully with conviction.

Mattia: "Then how do you explain that fire caused by these bastards burning innocent families alive?" he asked in curiosity with a mixture of disapproval at what Mirko had said.

Chris: "Uhm... Uhm... I hadn't thought of that... Anyway, Eye Of Earth is not a heroic league for good, saving people, etc. etc... Maybe some good it does, but not excessively so. Do you want to know what I found out?" he said nervously.

Andrea: "Enlighten us, smartass." said sarcastically as he stepped down from his desk.

Chris: "Ethan Hawkins is losing success and is spending all his money on publicity to regain fame, also, according to two infiltrated spies, it would seem he is faking in capturing them to be maintained by the United Nations, but these are only suppositions. So, both Carlo Anti and Ettore Bolisani, are organizing a peaceful rebellion to bring down Eye Of Earth, thus exploiting this economic weakening. If we spread the word that Ethan is avoiding catching the Immediate Murder Professionals because of greed, we could return to normalcy without thereby restricting our freedom of expression. Do you know how many human rights they have stolen by exploiting this!? Thought, speech, education, demonstration... We are the only area where, thanking the Mayor, Eye Of Earth has not been able to change by spreading their bullshit idea and propaganda, because the youth must decide for themselves what to think, what to be. They can't force us to have a thought that is not valid for us!" said proudly to all his comrades, who stood and pondered all the while.

Chris's speech brought an awkward silence, but the second representative said:

Andrea: "If we want to rebel, we will need sufficient evidence that those demons do not kill for fun and also that Ethan is a greedy selfish person. I was thinking that one of us could do some research on this, look up as much information as we can, put it all together and come up with a good theory. Who would like to apply?" he asked.

Of course no one answered, it was a bit too much what he had asked for. Puzzled looks, messy thoughts, 3AII was undecided but someone offered, and that someone was our protagonist.

Loris: "If it is not a problem for you, I will take care of it! I already have half a theory to formulate a proof that this makes no sense! If one day Ethan comes to the brink of bankruptcy and madly decides to invade our domain, he will have to go over our bodies! I get tired of seeing those fucking propaganda signs every day telling us that we are your heroes, we will save you from these creatures, you always have someone by your side to protect you and blah, blah, blah. All for the money! If you had more humility, those demons would have been dead long ago!!!"

Chris: "Thank you, Loris! Where would you like to attach to start the research?" he asked with a smile.

Loris: "At the fire that occurred thirteen years ago in Villafranca, that building where all the members of the Immediate Murder Professionals were spotted perfectly! I know for a fact that there's more to discover, they haven't told everything for me. And maybe there's some backstory that we don't know and that Eye Of Earth has hidden." he said thoughtfully.

Andrea: "Okay, we in the meantime will think about how to form a plan to rebel or if you want we can find you some information in case. Could you take this paper to the lecture hall? Our professor should be there." he said optimistically, taking from the desk a completed sheet for the class assembly.

Loris: "Roger, I'll be right back" he said with a smile.

Chris: "What if Eye Of Earth hides a dark truth?" he murmured thoughtfully.

Meanwhile, Loris exited his classroom, slowly closing the door as the hallway was silent except for a few shouts of professors in the distance scolding their students.

Loris: "Hopefully, one day all this will not lead to total chaos." he muttered worried about what might happen in the event of a mass rebellion.

But our scene shifted unexpectedly thanks to an underground transition, taking us all to a world of panic, pain and chaos: Hell.
