    Holding the front door with my right hand and a smoke grenade in my left as Vincent, Noel, and Allen are starting to climb the vents.

    When I heard them started crawling, Chylle took a glance at me and smiled.

"This is exciting, " he said.

"Not when your life is in the line, " I replied opening the door and pulling the pin as I threw the grenade outside.

    Smoke started to fill the room,  unOrdinary fading with my sight as Chylle took the lead and ran carelessly. I followed behind him, gripping my gun in my right and another in my left. I lost sight of Chylle and bumped into some unOrdinary. I came to a halt when an unOrdinary stood right in front of me and when I look at it closely, it doesn't have half of its head, without its eyes and brain, it tries to sniff me. Then another one came. They looked like they were communicating so I took my chance and moved forward.

"Abort missionーthere is aー" then they began to scream that I heard in my transmitter. I don't have a clue who it was and I soon noticed that everything seems wrong.

    I hear the loud banging in the vents as all the unOrdinary on this floor follow it while bumping into me and I see Chylle's silhouette arriving closer.

"What's going on?" he whispered.

    I just shook my head and took cover on some table as I heard gunshots in the vents. Soon after, an unOrdinary fell from it, followed by Allen who shoots nonstop in this clouded surrounding, trying to hit his target but kept missing. Proceeding to shoot, he shot the fire sprinkler that led the smoke to fade.

    Chylle grabbed my arm and heaved me to an open classroom and closed it right beside us just before they could notice us.

"Noel reporting, what you heard earlier was a warning from the unit three people that were in the cafeteria's kitchen who we passed by earlier. It seems like it was too late before they warned us that an unOrdinary crawled its way up to the vents and followed our scents. Proceeding to plan B, " I hear him say struggling to climb as fast as they could.

I'm sure Chylle heard the whole thing too, considering his expression.

"Don't worry about me and just get going! I'll catch up later, " shouts Allen breathless, running while shooting and trying to lure as many of them away from this floor as possible.

"Plan B?" I whispered.

    He nodded and readied his weapons. If I remember correctly, Plan B is all about the bait so Vincent and Noel can escape safely. Allen already made himself a bait and lured some unOrdinary away from here as possible.

"As much as I don't want to be a bait, we have no other options. Besides, I might have a few tricks of my sleeve" as he took a peek outside and wickedly smiled back at me.

[Vincent]

    A buffed unOrdinary are difficult to deal with. They excel in one specific and unique ability that can be complicated.

    And I'm not even sure if a buffed unOrdinary can even die. Sure, I did hear a rumor about a speaking type. But I know that it didn't die. Instead, it just ran to the darkness back to the forest. And I know that for sure because...I was the one she begged to help her.
