Mission

Moon watches as Cani and Yuma help Boombox climb up the steep cliffs. Moon turns around and sits down in a chair on deck. Ika walks over.

"Now what?" Moon sips some tea and exhales.

"Now… we wait for the chaos"

Yuma walks slowly through the hallway. Glaring around the enclosed hall. Cani rushed over.

"Yuma! What did I tell you about walking quietly??" Yuma sighs, putting his hands in his pockets.

"I could care less if we get caught or not-" Cani jumps at him.

"And I do- Guard!" Cani drags Yuma behind a corner, Boombox quickly following after. Cani covers Yuma' mouth as the guard walks passed, whistling. Eventually walking away, Cani let go of Yuma's mouth.

"What was that for!?" Cani exhales. Boombox pointing up.

"If they find us here, then Demon Lord Achlys will be right on our tail… and we struggled against the Admirals… And the Demon Lords are supposedly even stronger!" Yuma grunts and walks down the hallway. Boombox releases a silent hum. Stopping in the hallway.

"Hey guys… secret tunnel…" Cani and Yuma turn around. Boombox felt the wall, gently pushing a secret door open. Cani's eyes widen, engulfing her hand in a calm flame. They walk down the hall slowly, attempting to not make any noise.

The room was massive. Stretching 3 stories high, taking up a massive indoor space almost the entirety of a small island could fit. The room was filled with conveyor belts, machines, and mechanical arms. Pipes moving chemicals across the room, through a massive pipe out top of the room. Yuma, Cani, and Boombox watch in shock as hundreds of young kids work as factory slaves, manufacturing the chemical for the Demon Lords Curse. Yuma's eyes go dark as Cani sighs.

"It's probably best if we lay low and try to take out essential services to keep the factory working, help these kids escape and return at a later date to take down the factory" Boombox nods.

"Got it"

Boombox hides behind the wall. Fidgeting slightly with his mask. He takes a deep breath and peaks around the corner. In the Maintenance room was a relatively plump man wearing a black jacket, pants, with a red star on the left shoulder. Fidgeting with the mop in the corner. Boombox inhales and releases a high pitched screech under his breath. The guy notices and sits up. Boombox jumps forward and chops the man's neck, laying him gently on the ground.

"Done… Easy" Boombox removes the sound of his footsteps and gently closes the door. Reaching towards the powerbox. Using a high pitch screech to disrupt the electrical keypad, automatically unlocking the electrical panel for the whole facility.

"Now, to shut it all off…starting with the backup generators…" Boombox flicks off all the levers one by one.

The machines violently stutter in the main factory hall and shut down, the air conditioner goes cold and the lights flicker and turn off.

-----

"Our product distribution is going slower this month than usual, Matt's in charge of product distribution" Matt shouts.

"You're in charge of the product in general! Why has production costs suddenly increased, huh!?" The commanders sit in a room, 5 commanders in all. The lights dim as they all debate back and forth over this month's production rates. The lights suddenly fizzle and go out, quickly followed by the room going cold.

"The Lights!? Why'd they go out?" Another commander sighs.

"It'll be fine, the electrical backup generators should kick back on any second now" There was an awkward silence followed by the backup generators not kicking back on.

"Let's see who did this!" another shouts, followed by everyone standing and running out of the room.

"I'll wait here, in case something happens" the 4 commanders leave, one staying behind.

-----

Boombox fidgets with the switches and breakers, sticking his tongue out.

"HEY! He turned the breakers off! Get him!" Boombox quickly turns around, elbowing one commander in the face. He quickly spun and kicked another to the ground, sliding on his feet to stop. Glaring at the other two, his eyes glowing ominously. The first commander stands up and Boombox grabs his head. Spinning around and throwing him at the 3rd guy.

"Matt-" The final commander looks up, getting Boombox's knee to his face and hitting the ground, unconscious. Boombox rising to his feet.

"Done"
