## June 2nd, 5100 A.W.E.
M: **"Are you serious?"**
S: **"I absolutely am."**
M: **"Computer, is the project...?"**
S: **"More precisely, the heart of the project: the system."**
S: **"Now, down to business. A and Code are on their mission to hunt the Monarch. The project is in India, and Red, you will retrieve the project from India."**
Red: **"Why me?"**
S: **"Because you're the only one experienced here who has actually been to India."**
Red: **"Fine."**
Light: **"But now, let's go meet the Ancients."**
### A Hidden Bunker Near a Mountain in North America
Two people are playing chess.
R: **"There are people approaching."**
L: **"They are probably hiking."**
L: **"I win! The score is L: 5 quadrillion and 1 win, and 5 quadrillion losses."**
In the next round:
R: **"I win! 5 quadrillion and 1 win, and 5 quadrillion losses."**
R: **"This is boring. I wish something interesting would happen."**
An explosion occurs in the bunker.
L: **"You and your big mouth!"**
R: **"Seems like my wish came true."**
L sends out all the soldiers. The intruder is S, who slices all the soldiers into pieces.
R: **"Time to have some fun."**
R leaves the room.
Red is in the hallway when he encounters R.
Red: **"What the fuck?"**
R: **"When did we get such a beautiful mirror? I didn't realize I was this handsome."**
Red: **"I agree."**
Red and R both summon their red swords and attack one another.
L: **"How the fuck did they find us? Whatever, time to go."**
L gets off his chair and is about to leave but suddenly hears a sound from behind. S is sitting in his chair with his feet on the table.
S: **"Where are you going? We just came here. Aren't you going to greet us?"**
L: **"Oh, fuck."**
Light, A, Blue, and Red, with his sword on R's neck, enter the room.
R: **"Hey, you piece of fuck! The sword you made broke!"**
L: **"Don't blame me! It was you and your real self who broke it!"**
R: **"Well, you were the one who made it!"**

Red: **"Wait, what? Your real self? What the fuck does that mean?"**
R: **"That means I am you, or more precisely, a clone of you with your original memories."**
A: **"Who are you?"**
L: **"Well, we are you."**
Light: **"What are you talking about? Explain it."**
L: **"I know you at least have already figured it out, but still, I'll properly explain it."**
L sits in the chair.
S: **"So, what should we call you? Light or Red?"**
L: **"Just call me Lit."**
R: **"Well, my name is Red, but just call me R."**
L: **"I have a question for you. Do you know about a time before the war? A time of peace?"**
S: **"No, I don't know of such a time, if it ever existed."**
Lit: **"It existed, alright. We were born at a time when humanity was reaching its peak, achieving higher and higher technology and advancements."**
R: **"But we knew there was something coming, something terrifying: a war. The war broke out; it was beyond our imagination."**
Lit: **"So we came together: Red, the King of the Underworld and the ruler of Asia, the neutral faction in the war."**
Red: **"Light, the smartest and most influential person in the world, who had Europe under his thumb."**
Lit: **"And the one who brought us together: you, Blue."**
S stares at Blue.
Blue: **"What are you talking about?"**
Lit: **"Interesting. Seems like you don't remember anything. Let me ask you a question: Do you know where you were born, where you come from, who you were, or what you were? Do you remember anything apart from your name? I suppose not. You were the one who brought us together, Blue."**
R: **"Moving on, we wanted to save everyone. We wanted to stop the war."**
A: **"You wanted to create the project."**
Lit: **"We thought about the idea of the project, but we didn't have a foundation or resources."**
R: **"So we decided to create the foundation of the project."**
A: **"The nanites."**
Lit: **"We created the nanites, expanding human life from centuries to millennia, millions of years, and possibly eternity, giving them potential above all of existence."**
R: **"But it completely backfired, making the war much worse and turning it into hell."**
Lit: **"We saw a never-ending war—a war that we created. Blue left and wiped out his memories, starting a new life."**
R: **"We knew the moment we saw you that you were Blue."**
Lit: **"Soon after, we decided to leave as well. We rejuvenated our bodies to babies, cloned ourselves, and put our original consciousness and memories into those bodies and started over."**
R: **"The world's richest and smartest man."**
Lit: **"And the world's strongest man. Haven't you wondered how you became the strongest and King of the Red Night? In other words, we are you."**
R: **"But what we didn't expect was that we would involuntarily create a monster from the ashes of war."**
Light: **"We have a question: Do you know someone named Rebecca?"**
Red: **"Do you know someone named Claire?"**
Lit: **"That fucking bitch."**
R: **"That fucking bitch."**
Light: **"While we share your thoughts from our hearts..."**
Red: **"What we want to know is: what are they to you?"**
Lit: **"Rebecca was my wife, but I killed her."**
R: **"Claire was my wife, and I killed her. What are they to you?"**
Light: **"Well, sorry to inform you that you weren't able to kill them."**
Red: **"Because they are absolute fucking bitches and our so-called mothers that we slaughtered properly."**
Lit: **"I told you we should have killed them properly by cutting their heads off. How the fuck did they survive?"**
R: **"Don't blame me! You were the one who said they were dead!"**
S: **"Enough of that. Let's get to business."**
M brings in the dead bodies.
S: **"Can you explain this?"**
Lit: **"Prototypes."**
M: **"What the fuck are prototypes?"**
R: **"We tried to create prototypes that could handle the project, but all of them failed. Although they were extremely strong, they had limited lifespans."**
Lit: **"I thought I told you to get rid of all of them!"**
R: **"I did! These are not our prototypes."**
Lit: **"Where did you find this?"**
S: **"Someone stole the project and sent them after M."**
Lit: **"Someone is trying to imitate the project."**
A: **"Imitate?"**
R: **"It's impossible to access the heart of the project, the system. So they arrive trying to replicate it. If they succeed, they will have infinite power beyond our imaginations."**
S: **"One last question: Do you know this woman?"** S shows them a picture.
R: **"Yes, that's Prototype 0001."**
S: **"She is my wife. So you guys, more specifically Blue, are responsible for me and White, our misery and suffering, and the death of my wife."**
Lit: **"More specifically, Blue."**
R: **"It's Blue's fault, not ours! We made her; he killed her."**
S stares at Blue with anger.
S: **"I would have killed you if I hadn't already taken my revenge. My hate is unmeasurable."**
Blue: **"I share the same feeling."**
