Current Day, 3rd POV

----------------------------------------

Days had passed since the group first arrived at their new home. Despite some difficulties, they've adjusted quickly. 

Now known as Joel, Y/N has made a few "friends" while being in the hands of The Reapers. He hasn't seen the rest of his people, but they've managed just like him.

As each day passed, Y/N made progress towards escaping. With the assistance of Andrea, Kal, and a few new faces, Y/N has learned a lot about the place he is staying at, and The Reapers.

Their plan to escape was simple. The guards rotate each night, so the start of the plan would begin when Shane wasn't in the rotation. According to Andrea, Shane only does day shifts. When it is nighttime, he rests. This means that the other guards have to pick up after him, and those guards aren't as talented as him.

The next step would involve them getting through the gate. The gate requires a button to be pressed, which is in a nearby watch tower near the gate. When the button is pressed, the gate opens. 

As for weapons, Andrea also has that covered. She's 'close' with a guard who has access to the armory.

The plan was simple, but it also felt too easy. Y/N knew it wouldn't go smoothly. Nothing ever goes smoothly. The only thing left to do was to find Y/N's people.

Today was a new day and Y/N left his cell, being followed by Shane. "Today, you don't have a job,"

Over the past few days, Y/N has fit perfectly into his new role. He no longer responds unless prompted to, and properly responds to Joel. All of this is part of the plan. His plan.

"Lucifier wants you," Shane said. Shane walked in front of Y/N and led him back to the interrogation room. Walking in, Lucifer was waiting for him. 

"There's my favorite prisoner," Lucifier smirked. Dismissing Shane, he took a seat.

Shane left the room as Y/N took a seat. Sitting directly from Lucifier, he looked at him blankly.

"Alright, Y/N," Lucifier said. "Today, you will participate in a competition. We do this with a ton of our new rookies,"

Rookies were the term Lucifier used to describe his prisoners. These 'rookies', over time, would be molded into his new guards. That's only if they are promising, and Y/N is.

"What type of competition?" Y/N asked.

"We have a small arena nearby," Lucifier said. "It's not a colosseum or anything. It's just a small arena made with debris we have found over time. People will get to watch you as you prove your worth, fighting whatever comes at you,"

"Walkers?" He asked.

"And more," Lucifier smirked. "While I have followed you and your people around, I haven't seen you in combat. Especially with nothing but your hands and surroundings," Standing up, Lucifier walked to the door. "We're burnin' daylight. Let's head over there,"

The arena was far worse than Y/N imagined. While it consisted of debris, it also had spikes in it. It was a small debris arena consisting of smashed cars and other shit you find from a junkyard. Surrounding it were metal fences that had people watching. Y/N looked around for his people but they weren't there.
