Rev notices he can not see the floor below him. It must mean it's not made of source metal. He lies on the floor and begins to carve into the ground using the source metal bullet. He puts it in the groove of his chipped tooth to get a better grip on it. He begins to slowly carve into the ground. As the days pass by, Rev chips away little by little. Making sure to bring too much attention to himself. Rev's days consist of eating and carving away. The guard had heard sounds, but after the wardens' warning, they have kept their distance. The food Rev is given is not exactly brimming with source. Rev's inner source is very low after the fight with Loka. Barely enough to keep him alive. In this state Rev can not even hope to cast hell scape. Along with the source metal chains that trap him. He is in no position to store up much source. Rev is also not allowed out of his cell. Rev can not tell whether it is night or day. He can only go off of the meals he revived and the guards outside his cell. There are three groups of guards paired in twos. With every meal, a new set of guard takes over. Rev can tell the difference by the amount of source the guards have in them. Rev had mapped out the room he's in, in his head. The stone slab that he assumes must be his bed. There is a hole in the ground that has a cover. When Rev lifted the cover, a grotesque smell emerged. Rev quickly closed the lid and took a seat on the stone slab. He still holds the bullet in his mouth. "Even if i get out of this cell, I won't make it very fair with this little source." Rev thinks. This plan will be one that will take many weeks or months depending on what Rev is fed.
-2 weeks later.
As Rev sleeps, he overhears a conversation with a guard and who he believes to be the warden.
"He will be set for transform in 1 week's time. We must be prepared for any situation. Under no circumstance will he be conscious during the transform." The warden tells the guard.
Rev lay there, his breath slow and steady. Not letting the warden's guard cause any reaction off of him. "conscious? will they try to knock me out?" Rev asks himself. Rev readied himself in the coming week for any sign of an attack. As the coming week approached, Rev was served a soup that night. "Soup? that's new." Rev thinks. It smells good and is much more rich is source than any of the other foods he has eaten. Rev happily finishes the bowl. After wards laying on the stone slab as he chips away some more, sharping the bullet to a fine point. The source metal strength is reliant on how much source it has. Sense the bullet is such a small piece of source metal. Once Rev fist took the bullet, he absorbed as much source as he needed to make the bullet moldable. Once it's to his liking, he can return source to it. With in an hour Rev's body begins to feel much more relaxed than usual. "I feel...light" Rev thinks. And with in the minute Rev is fast asleep. The guard open up his cell and pick him up. They unchain him and wrap him in a fireproof cloth. Then put him in a source metal box. They caring him out of the cell. Five armed guards on each side escort him out. They load him up into one of the motor vehicles and drive off. As Rev lay there in the dark box, a smirk appeared on his face. Rev had to admit whatever they put in that soup had him out for a good minute or two, but was not nearly strong enough. Rev's body was far more different from any normal elf or human or cyclops. Rev for the time being was a one of a kind of dark elf.
Note: Dark elves are not all the same in abilities. Some dark elves are more powerful than others. Some seem to be similar, but in what seems to be a different "stage". The creation of dark elves varies too much to fully pin point why some come to be and why others don't. An elf that lives the same life as an elf that had to turn into a dark elf is not guaranteed to turn into a dark elf themselves. There seems to be one coherent factor in all that has turned into dark elves. Two different blood types found in their bodies either working together or against each other. They also share similar once they turn into a dark elf that seems to be the same in all of them. Their eyes changing color. Their skin changing to a darker shade. And the loss of any reproductive organs. Changes due to age is still not clear.- Loka.
Rev poured his source into the sharpened bullet in his mouth, turning it a dark crimson. Rev spat the bullet out, wiggling it underneath the cloth to reach his right hand. Rev begins to cut the cloth and free himself. Once free, Rev cuts a small piece of the cloth off. Rev then begins to carve into the floor of the box. The source metal bullet is stronger than the box he is in. It seems that Carter has plenty of source metal to go around, but not enough source to properly reinforce it. Rev begins to carve a swap art, art into the base of the box. Rev then cuts his thumb and pours blood into the carved out art. Rev then uses his blood to stamp the art onto the small piece of cloth along with the large piece of cloth. Rev creates a small fuse on both pieces and links him and the large piece together. Rev then slides the small piece of cloth out of a small air opening in the box. Once the fuse goes out, Rev swaps the place with it and is now outside the box. Rev quickly ducks and looks around. He is in a forest and it is night. "I seem to be on one of those strange vehicles," Rev thinks. He looks for the person controlling it. Rev has not forgetting what they have taken from him. It seems that they have not gone very far from the prison. Rev scans the car and sees the outline source coming from the driver. "I can see through things now. So much clearer than before." Rev thinks. The charges us a wind blast and places the bullets in the middle of it. He lunches it through the vehicle and straight through the man next to the driver.
"Hey...HEY!!" a man yells.
The vehicle comes to an abrupt stop. Soon a vehicle behind them catches up to them. Shining their light straight on Rev.
"HE'S OUT!" the driver screams.
Rev dashes into the trees and sends a fire blast at the car behind them. The car unexpectedly explodes. Rev is taken back "I didn't put that much power into that did I?" Rev questions himself. No time for that as more guards show up. Rev dashes into the front of the original vehicle. The driver frozen in place. Rev scans around for the bullet.
"HEY! get back in the b-"
Rev finds it and sends it straight through the drives skull. "I really with I had a easier way to bring that think back to me. I need my dagger." Rev thinks. The guards surround him. Rev with no choice, fire blast the vehicle with him still inside. a strong smell fills Rev's lungs and before he knows it.
BOOM!
Rev receives some damage from the blast but nothing to worry about. Rev composes himself and scans around. "7 guards, i can do this." Rev thinks. He hides in the trees for the meanwhile, stocking the guards belows as they split up and look for him. Rev takes them out one by one. Absorbing their source, as he does. Rev heals himself of any bullet wounds he receives in battle. He makes quick work of 6 of the guards. In a one on one they stand no chance. Rev is left with one guard. He sends out a wave of source and pin points him in seconds. Rev rushes over, taking the guard by surprise. He wraps the fire proof cloth around his neck, choking him out. He then rips his mask off and uses the hard metal to knock him out. Rev then puts on the close of the guards. Sorting through them to meet his size.

"Hey you awake yet?" Rev asks.
The guard's eyes begin to open.
"What's...going on... am I...died?" He asks.
"No, you, but you will be if you don't listen to me. I need you to take me back to where I was trapped and tell me where they are keeping my stuff." Rev explains.
The guard gives a confused look as he looks at Rev. "What? Where is the prisoners?"
"Am the prisoners." Rev takes off the mask.
Panic and shock take hold of the guard's face. "WAIT!..that means...no it can't be." the man begins to spiral into panic as he looks around at the corpse of his fellow guards.
"What did you do? How did you even escape?" He asks.
"Don't worry about it. You do what I say and I won't light you on fire, ok?" Rev tells the man.
The man's breath turns rapid. "Hey it's all going to be ok. Just take me back and show me where my stuff is, and no one has to know what happened. And if they do, then you can just tell them i forced you to do it." Rev says.
He man takes a good look into Rev's crimson eyes. He expands his hand. "I deal with the devil. Nothing I haven't done before." The man sighs.
Rev takes his hand and lifts him up. "put on the armor and let's get going."Rev says.
They get back on the road and start to walk back to the prison Rev, keeping his palm firmly pressed on the back of the man's head as he leads the way. "Deal with the devil. am I the devil?" Rev thinks.
"Hey what you said before? What did you mean by a deal with the devil? Who is the devil? is that some kind of nickname they are calling me?" Rev asks.
The man shrugs. "Well...it the devil is an evil incarnate. Loka claims that at least. He says that the devil is the king of the elves and that he is the true god that will bring us into the new world. What ever that means. Deal with the devil is just a saying that I heard," the man tells Rev.
Rev thinks for a moment. "Your farms and mines. They are run by elf guards and human slaves. Does that not bother you? sense you claim the elf king is all evil. It doesn't seem like you any better." Rev says.
The man sighs. "That's what i meant when i said i had done this before. This city is built off of human slaves. The elf king had forced them to work, but then Loka showed up and took over the city. He said he would protect all that stay with in its walls...So those outside of those walls...well. There were still some elves left over when Loka took control. He said the source inside them would be useful. Us humans are not blessed with such a thing. If you don't wont to become a slave then you must prove your more useful in other things than farming and mining. That proved hard for many, as for most humans at the time only knew how to do those two things. You see us officer of the city mostly come from slaves. Our parents give us up to the city and if we pass certain test, then we can become citizens. If you don't pass, then you're sent to be a slave. To be honest, I don't even know what my mother or father look like. I probably will never see them again. Ive killed a lot of people and I don't really know how to feel. This life it's all I've ever known." The man tells Rev.
Rev grip on the man's head to stay firm. "How much longer until we are at the prison?"
"Well, it took us about 10 mins to get out here in a car so the walk back will be quite a bit, but it shouldn't be nothing more than a half an hour." The guard responds.
-10min later
The man hears a vehicle approaching. He feels the grip on his head and decides what to do.
"Hey there's a car coming. We should get into the forest. It wouldn't be good if they spotted us." The man tells Rev.
Rev looking at the road ahead. "ok"
He takes the man into the forest and lets the car pass by. "Car, is that what those large moving vehicles are called?" Rev asks.
The man gives a confused look. "Yes, hey can I ask where you're from?"
"No," Rev plainly responds.
Rev looks aback. "There's going to find the burned cars on the road." Rev thinks. He then looks at the man, holding his head still.
"What's...wrong?" the man asks.
Rev sighs "You let the car pass us, knowing they'd find the others dead. I think ill be able to find my way to the prison from here." Rev whispers in his ear.
sweat starts to pour down the man's face. "No, you got it all wrong. I just didn't want them to see us. They would of pulled over and questioned us. I had forgotten that about the burned cars on the road. Am sorry, it wasn't my intention to deceive you." The man tries to explain.
Rev grabs the man tightly by the hand and beings to run at full speed. The man holds onto Rev as he closes his eyes open them with all the wind in his face. With in 5 mins they arrive at the front of the prison. The man gasp for air.
"Get up and get us inside." Rev demands.
The man opens the into the front desk.
"The prisoners escaped from us and took out most are men. Me and him are the only ones that survived. We tried to look for him in the forest, but he was too fast. He started to take us out one by one. We came back thinking the smartest thing to do was ask for reinvestments." The man explains.
The officer at the desk calls up the warden, and soon he appears.
"So the prisoner escaped, did he? We sent out another car, but it seems you came here with just the two of you," the warden says.
"Another car? Well, we were running through the forest, sir. We didn't see any car sent out." The man explains.
The warden takes a good look at him. Seeing his suit covered in mud and leaves. "Ok, you will resume duties here as we esses the situation further. Loka won't be very happy to hear this, i assume," the warden sighs.
The man walks forward, and Rev follows behind him. The warden gives a glance at Rev, not being able to see through his mask.
"What is your badge number?" the warden asks.
Rev without hesitation says "534 sir" Rev looks up at the warden as he speaks to him.
"And where is your mask" The warden asks.
"A am sorry to inform you that i had taken it off as the prisoners had lit the car on fire. The smoke coming off of it was suffocating me while i whore the mask. I am sorry." The man says.
"You know the punishment for losing your mask. You will have to earn your back." The warden explains.
"yes sir," the man responds.
After a brief pause, the warden dismiss the both of them. Rev had heard the officers outside of his cell address each other with their badge numbers many times before as they would take over guarding his cell. Rev had also recognized their voices. Rev had known the dead man mask he was wearing was one of the guards that was assigned to his cell. The badge number was engraved on the side of the mask. The man lets out a heavy breath.
"That was too close. Just follow me and we can part ways." The man tells Rev.
"Lead the way." Rev responds.
They make it there way down into the basement where prisoners' belongings are kept. The man unlocks the door, letting Rev in. Rev scans the room.
"Theres a lot of stuff in here i might take a-"
Rev's dagger emerges from the pile flying past the man and into Rev's hands.
"Or not. If that's all, we should really be getting out of here." The man says with worry on his face.
"Not done yet." Rev says. He looks scans the room again looking for his red band. He reaches down into a box and pulls it out. He dust it off and wraps it around his neck. He takes off the mask and, using the varieties of items, creates a cloak out of the fireproof cloth. He keeps the body armor on. Stripping pieces of it to reduce weight and for better mobility.
"Seriously," the man says.
Rev point the dagger at him. "Keep your mouth shut." Rev tells the man.
"sorry..." the man responds.
Rev starts to walk out of the room.
"Hey you can't walk around looking like th-"
"What did I just say?" Rev says.
"but.." the man muttered.
Rev walks up the steps and into the main prison. He walks the halls. "Most of the guards are probably out looking for me right now. Which means this shouldn't be so hard. Just sit back and watch and if you try anything ill, make sure you suffer more than anyone else," Rev says.
"What are you going to do..." the man says. Voice starting to tremble.
Rev turns around glaring down on him. He takes a step forward and whispers in his ear, "Am going to burn this place to the ground."
