In the north outskirts of Silvize city, far away, lies a domain which consists of only sand and dirt. A large black, rectangular building stood firmly in the middle of this plain outskirt. Since dark colours do not reflect light, prison-breakers from the outside will find it hard to locate the Procantus Maximum Prison in the middle of a desert.
The Procantus Maximum Prison is a detention centre where the most dangerous criminals in Fonte Maximus are jailed up. Sometimes even high danger level Bandakoys are sent to this prison to keep it away from causing death. The Procantus Maximum Prison consists of 37floors above surface, and 100 floors below surface. The floors below the surface indicate the increasing danger level and the higher level of security.
The 37 floors above surface are guarded by Cryptors, lizard-like assassins in tight white suit and a snout helm; the Cryptors usually stay invisible during their stroll, with the scythe they wield, they could easily chop of the intruder that manage to enter the building without any permission. The first 25 floors below surface are guarded by Wargons, huge green dragons that stand on their hind legs; they wear heavy chain mails and hold two scimitars. These creatures have been known as the most intelligent dragon among their species, intelligent and strong enough to obliterate enemies with just a swipe of their scimitars. The next 74 levels are guarded by Crusagons, quite similar to Wargons, they are the intelligent dragons that wear huge white plates on their body and legs, and they have a huge white helm to shield their scaly dragon-like head; they wield a long pole with a battle axe attached to its end. The only difference Crusagons had with the Wargons is the blue colour scale they have and the fact that they are twice the size of Wargons.
At the last level lies the most dangerous criminal at all time, Lucifer the Doombringer. As pictured as a great red beast that commands an army of skeleton warriors better known as the Doom Marchers, he was defeated and thrown down to the maximum level of the prison, where Commander Cryptors guard. They are not much difference from the Crptors, except for the red and blue stripe they have on their suit and the variety of weapons they acquire. For 17,562 years, Lucifer has never been out of its prison and no one attempted to set him free as well, until now….
Scythenesis stood far from the Procantus Maximum Prison, admiring the view of the black building standing firmly on the life-less land. Debris and sand brushed against the lower part of its robes, it stretched a smile across its burning skull and stepped forward, towards the direction of the prison. As it walked towards the building, the colour of Scythenesis’ robes slowly fade and soon became transparent as the same outcome to its skull and its skeletal body. Scythenesis waited for the Cryptors guarding the entrance to take shift as it slipped into with them. It darted across the marble floor as all the Cryptors turned to his direction, as if they sensed something invisible in motion. Satisfied that the Cryptors did not spot it, Scythenesis found a flight of wide stairway as he went down to the underground prison.
The same results were shown by the Wargons and the Crusagons, they looked at his direction but did not react. Scythenesis darted from floors to floors, going deeper and deeper into the earth. The heat soon came to a critical temperature that Scythenesis started to feel rather uneasy, it walked so fast it seemed as if it practically glided across the floor smoothly.
At last, Scythenesis reached the 100th floor, the last floor in the prison. The level has a larger space than the 99 floors above it; it was far larger than those above it. At the end of the giant room is a cave, long steel bars sealed the entrance of the cave, four white figures stood along the path towards the cave, they had red and blue stripes on their suit and they were each wielding different weapons such as the knunchucks, wrist claws, kantana and a war-hammer. Scythenesis walked towards the cave, one of the commanders actually followed Scythenesis as they sensed the presence of an unknown force. Carefully, Scythenesis slipped through the space between the steel bars and looked into the darkness of the cave: A bald and skinny man, bounded in chains, kneeling with his head looking down on the rubble floor. He was naked except for the brown leather shorts he wore, he had a piece of paper tapped onto his forehead and soft mutters came from the slowly moving mouth of his, the man raised his head, as if he felt someone coming through the entrance, a pair of cold blue eyes locked at the unknown presence. Scythenesis walked towards him, it stretched its skeletal hand out of its sleeve, and jabbed into the man’s for head. There was a flash of light and space and time warped in an instance.
Scythenesis was standing in a void, bright colours rained down the emptiness where it stood. For a second, a huge red image blurred in front of Scythenesis, it formed into a massive form of a red demon, large devil-like wings spread across the empty void, an burning club in one hand and a ring pierced through the hog-like nose it has on its face. A thundering voice boomed in the space, “Who are you? How dare you enter my subconscious?” Scythenesis looked directly into the demon’s face and asked, “You are Lucifer, correct?” “Answer my question!” the voice boomed again, even louder this time. “I am Scythenesis, one of the four notorious Condarynus and I am here to seek your assistance, Lucifer the Doombringer.” Explained Scythenesis, “Condarynus, eh? Why do’ you need my help? The Condarynus I remember work within their own members, they don’t go out asking help from weaklings.” Taunted the Doombringer, “Things have changed over time. My siblings have been banished from this world, so is my master. That is why I need your help now, I need your help to help my find the location of my brother and kill the chosen child, William Rosewood.” Said Scythensis, with a hint of humbleness in its tone, “This all sounds like a dirty plan set up by your ‘master’, why must I help you? And can you not see that I’m imprisoned?” asked Lucifer, “Well, you like destruction, don’t you? If you help me with this, I guarantee you that many lives will be lost due to your wrath. This prison is nothing, as long as you assist me in this, I will get you out of here.” Offered Scythenesis, there was a moment of consideration before Lucifer spoke again, “Many lives will be lost, under my wrath?” Scythenesis nodded, “Alright then, I will help you just this once, now get me out of this wretched jail.” Said Lucifer as there was another flash of light and space and time turned back to normal again.
Scythenesis slowly turned visible again, the commanders outside the cave twitched an inch of surprise and got their weapons ready. The paper that Scythenesis jabbed its finger on burnt as Lucifer gave a great roar, the cave shattered as the entire floor shook. Scythenesis turned around to face the commanders, it raised its left hand towards them and its right hand to the ceiling. A deafening explosion shook the grounds of the desert as the prison burst into flames, Scythenesis and Lucifer walked out of the burning building, unharmed by the fire of the guards that were patrolling inside, which are probably burnt to death by now. The man was dragging a Cryptor out of the building, he took the suit out of the Cryptor and wore it, satisfied, he walked alongside with Scythenesis and left the burning building to collapse by itself…
