Rizal and Ucok plummeted into darkness. They didn't know how deep the hole was, but it felt like falling forever.THUMP!Rizal landed first, his body hitting the concrete floor hard. For a moment, the world spun before he could refocus.Ucok landed right next to him, groaning and wriggling. "Dude... I think my tailbone just moved addresses."Rizal grunted, trying to get up despite his body feeling crushed. He looked around. They were now in a dark room, lit only by dim, flickering red lights.Ucok rubbed his face, then looked up. "Looks like we can't climb back up."Rizal snorted. "Yeah, I can see that too."Ucok stared at him. "Why do we always fall into trouble?"Before Rizal could answer, the sound of a moving mechanism echoed.Click. Click. Click.Ucok turned quickly. "Dude... what's that sound?"Suddenly, from the darkness, a large iron door opened. Cold air rushed in, followed by the sound of heavy footsteps dragging something behind it.Rizal and Ucok immediately went on alert.

Ucok froze in place. His mouth gaped open, but no words came out.Maya frowned, trying to make sure her eyes weren't deceiving her. "No way..."In front of them, in the middle of a room filled with flickering monitors, someone sat casually. A small smile played on his lips, his gaze calm—too calm for someone who shouldn't have been there.Raka.Rizal felt his heart drop. Raka was supposed to be… dead.Satria took a step back. "This doesn't make sense. I saw it myself… he—""—died?" Raka finished the sentence with a laid-back tone, then chuckled. "I thought so too."Ucok, usually the chatterbox, could only stare in fear. "Dude… this isn't the Raka we know, right?"Rizal tightened his grip on the iron pipe in his hand. "What happened to you?"Raka stood up slowly, raising his hands as if to calm them. "A lot has happened since we last met, Zal. And I have to say… I'm really enjoying this game."Maya stepped forward. "Game? This isn't a game, Raka! We almost died multiple times!"Raka sm

The night air was thick and humid, smelling of damp earth and crushed leaves under their shoes. Ren's hideout was far from any sign of civilization, surrounded by a forest lit only by the pale moonlight. The trees loomed like giant figures keeping watch, their shadows dancing across the ground as a gentle breeze stirred.Inside the house, the atmosphere was completely different. The glow from the computer screens cast dim reflections on their faces, highlighting the tension hanging in the air. Maya was still focused on the digital map displayed on the large screen, her fingers tracing the lines connecting the red dots."Each of these dots is one of their small bases," Ren said, his voice low and measured. "They've got underground bunkers, weapon stockpiles, and a communication network that's almost impossible to break."Ucok leaned back in his chair, rubbing his face with both hands. "We're not exactly secret agents, you know. We're just… people who happened to be in the wrong place a

The silence hung in the air, heavier than ever before. Their breaths were faint in the darkness, as if the narrow walls of the corridor greedily absorbed every sound. Click... click... The old light on the ceiling flickered weakly, creating shadows that seemed to move on their own.Rizal's eyes remained locked on the man before them. There was something in the way the man stood – calm, confident, as if he had known them for a long time. There was no smile on his face, only a flat expression that made the surrounding air feel even more oppressive.Thump... thump... The man's boots creaked on the damp concrete floor, creating a slow rhythm that made time seem to crawl."You've entered a place you shouldn't have," he finally said, his voice deep and vibrating like thunder held back in a cloudy sky.Ucok chuckled, though it was clear there was tension behind it. "Well, we do tend to do that."The man stopped, his eyes narrowing. "And usually, people like you don't leave here alive."Rizal

The night air felt heavy, like each breath they took was laced with an unseen threat. The dim streetlights cast an eerie glow on the glistening, wet asphalt, reflecting their running shadows.Tap! Tap! Tap!Their footsteps echoed loudly in the damp, narrow alley, filled with the sharp scent of rusting iron. Ren nearly slipped on a dark puddle, but Rizal caught her arm, yanking her back."You want to fall into the arms of death?!" Rizal hissed, his breath ragged, eyes wide with fear.Ucok, still trying to grasp the situation, gave a nervous chuckle. "At least it'd be a dramatic death, right?"Rizal glared, his eyes burning in the darkness. "This isn't a joke, you idiot!"Behind them, another set of footsteps echoed down the alley, dragging and uneven.Tak! Tak! Tak!Something was following them, something unseen.Ren fumbled with the radio, her fingers trembling. "Damn it! Who was that talking?" she muttered, frustrated.The raspy voice crackled from the radio, cold and threatening. "Y
