As the doors open, the people flood in and stop to see Ken, Wasa and Niles. An air of silences envelops the room. Hear me, people! Niles raises his voice as a few start streaming what is happening inside the room. There is no council! There is no justice to be found here! If you wanted justice, you should’ve looked for it ten years ago, not today! Today is too late to find out what happened ten years ago! Niles continued. Everyone looks baffled at the situation as they look around with no idea what to do. You’ve ruled yourselves how you saw fit for thousands of years. The choices you’ve made became law of the land and sea. Your behavior became the bed you slept upon and that you will be sleeping from now on! We are a united nation on this one planet and we choose our destiny! We choose how we respond to those that try to separate us! It is our duty as individuals to choose what we want and to act accordingly! If you want justice for what happened ten years ago, start looking today for the wrongdoings that are happening now! Correct that which you can! Because once it is past you, you can never go back and fix what’s been broken! Niles declares as the room echoes with his words. Slowly the people start leaving the building and the streets peacefully yet shocked at what they discovered.

Whose are the keys of death? How did you find out about them? Kei asks X and Yellow. Cooperate and you might get a lighter sentence, Pincer tells the two. X looks at Yellow and he nods. By complete coincidence. We were looking for answers to what happened ten years ago and there are a lot of conspiracy theories. We’ve found some friends that were very like minded and we tried to go after those claims to either prove them or disprove them. We called ourselves Task Force M, for myth busting, says X. Wait, those guys are you? asks Kei. You know about us? asks Yellow. Yeah, I’ve seen your work, thought it was interesting. But you guys fell from the face of the planet at some point, says Kei. Because we found this theory about they keys of death. It was saying that there had to be these devices that can kill anyone, but what happened ten years ago was a misfire. And that there had to be those that died holding the device, so there must be these devices spread all over the place. So we started looking and after a while we started hearing these rumors that the police here might have on such device. And then we saw you and your friends going to a mortician that worked on the case ten years ago. So we wanted to come ask you a few questions, but you ran. And then your apartment exploded in flames, so we hurried to follow you, says X. Wait, you guys didn’t blow up my apartment? asks Kei. No, we were just following you and we wanted to ask you something regarding the case, says X.

But that doesn’t make any sense, says Kei. What about your plans? he asked. We didn’t lie to you. Anyone would feel safe and powerful with the keys to death in their hands. And we do want to make them pay. Those that didn’t learn anything after a billion died, those that killed that billion, explains X. Okay, but then who blew up my apartment? asks Kei. And how did you get your hands on this key of death? asks Pincer. I don’t know who blew up your apartment. And to how we got that key of death is a whole other story, says X. Get with it, fast, says Pincer as Kei starts pacing around the precinct. We got it sent to us in a package without anything written on it. There was only a not inside saying this is a key of death, use it wisely and your wishes might come true, says X. You morons! Kei explodes with anger. What? asks Yellow. How didn’t any of you catch on this? You seemed quite intelligent until a few seconds ago. What the fuck? asks Kei. What? asks Pincer. They were used! They’re a distraction! Even the protest at UN is a distraction! exclaims Kei as he turns towards X and Yellow. Let me ask you this. You guys didn’t start kidnapping criminals this month, now did you? asks Kei. No, what? asks Yellow. Why would we do that? asks X. Exactly. Fuck! exclaims Kei. What is happening? asks Yellow. Don’t you see? You were used as a distraction. Someone sent you this and planted that rumor to distract us from what’s about to happen! exclaims Kei. Are you okay? Hey! Hey! Ram asks N as he drops to the floor. Oh no… It’s starting, says Kei. What is? asks Pincer. The Eclipse…
