"K? You found my K-FlumMox? Where is it? Did they destroy it?" Char asked eagerly.
"Oh please tell me you don't know about the Shield?" Gray chuckled humorlessly.
"The Shield? Oh, now I remember. Den had told me. K was his before he was eliminated. He had built the Shield on his own. It was indestructible and indomitable. That was why he was saved. That means K is still out there. Its it Gray?" Char asked.
"Yes. But I could not trace its location. But it had signal transmission. It will not obey me generally." Gray said generally.
"Get me something so that I can connect to K." Char said.
"It will take some time. We will leave you to sleep because you have to save energy to get out of here. We need to get you some supplies. Tonight you are leaving the Dungeon. Do not think anything just sleep." Force reassured before leaving the cell.
"Take care." Gray chanted and disappeared.
"I am not in a rush. I will stay further." Dulcet said.
"You can go after I sleep." Char said. Dulcet sat on the floor with Char and let her lay rest her head on his shoulder. He put his hand around her shoulder and squeezed her gently.
"I am scared." Char whispered before closing her eyes.
"I know." Dulcet replied. He left after she was asleep.

"Shouldn't we wake her?" Gray whispered to Force. They were in Char's cell.
"Yes. But she looks so peaceful. Is it ready?" Force sighed.
"Yes. Dulcet promised to activate it soon." Gray informed. He was staring into Force's blue eyes. It was like the sea that he saw in the room where Den had led them. He did not notice that he was staring until Force waved hand before his face.
"Char, wake up. Rise and shine darling." Force chanted while shaking Char gently.
"You guys here?" Char sounded confused.
"Yes. You need to get up. We promised that we will bring in some supplies, don't yopu remember?" Force asked her.
"Yes I remem-." Char was interrupted by Dulcet.
"Ready?" he asked through the signal connection.
"Yes." Char said and placed her hand on the metal wall.
"Please maintain contact for 10 second." The electric current passed through Char's body making her shiver. Sharp pain made her close her eyes tight, the heat from he wall burned her hand while she tried to keep the contact. Her head was spinning and bursting with ache. Her body seemed to be loosing energy and finally she gave up before ten seconds were completed, collapsing on the floor struggling to breath. She felt like she was dying.
"Dulcet, something is wrong!" Force cried out.
