As Yuta turned around, he was face to face with an alien, who immediately aimed its gun at him. Yuta quickly rolled away from the ray beam and ran for cover, diving into the bushes before continuing through the park. He could hear the alien right behind him as he jumped past a bench and ran towards the lake.
Without hesitation, he dived right into the water and held his breath underwater. He saw the alien stop inches away from him in his blurred vision but didn't follow him into the water. Yuta, shut his eyes, accepting his fate was slowly losing his breath as the alien waited for him to submerge from the water.
Suddenly, Yuta heard a familiar voice.
"Hey alien, over here!"
Johnny had appeared and was jumping and waving to grab the alien's attention. The alien immediately turned in his direction and aimed its gun at Johnny. Johnny dived away from the shot and continued to get its attention.
Jisung, who had reawakened, ran towards the lake, and frantically searched for Yuta.
"Yuta hyung!"
Jisung desperately walked deeper into the pond. However, he couldn't swim, so he couldn't go too deep. Eventually, he noticed Yuta and reached for him.
"Come on Park Jisung, you can do it."
Jisung managed to grab Yuta's hands and pull him to the surface. He immediately tried to perform CPR, pumping on Yuta's chest until he spits water out and gasped for air.
"Yuta hyung!"
A loud boom interrupted their moment of relief as they turned and saw Johnny on the ground. His left foot was bleeding, having been shot by the alien. The alien seemed to be trying to recharge his gun. Without hesitation, Yuta immediately got up and ran towards the alien. Jisung on the other hand froze in horror, frightened that they could die.
Johnny, noticing Yuta charging at the alien from behind tried to distract it, yelling insults at it. The alien finally recharged the gun, aimed his gun at Johnny.
Yuta managed to make it in time, jumped, and smacked the alien in the head with a rock he grabbed earlier. Johnny lunged at the gun that the alien dropped during the assault and aimed at him. However, the gun didn't react despite Johnny pulling the trigger. The alien charged at Johnny but Yuta managed to kick him out of the way, getting on top of it and beating it up.
"Yuta!"
Johnny threw the ray gun at Yuta to use as an assault weapon. Yuta, with no hesitation, aimed the gun and pulled the trigger.
"Wait, it doesn't wor-"
Before Johnny could continue, a ray of light came out of the gun. Yuta was flung backward from the impact and hit a tree. Johnny covered his head and when he looked up, the alien's lifeless corpse was burning. Jisung who was watching from the distance was in horror at what he just witnessed.

"Yuta!"
Yuta woke up to Johnny calling his name. He was dazed for a moment but immediately got up and looked around the area, hoping that he was dreaming the whole time. When he saw the alien he killed burning, he sighed in disbelief.
"Are you ok? You were out for several minutes," Johnny asked.
"I'm fine. How's your leg?"
"It hurts but hey, we beat our first alien."
"But hyung, how were you able to get the gun working?" Jisung was holding the gun, examining the technology.
"Yeah... Both Jisung and I weren't able to activate it at all," Johnny added.
Yuta looked at the gun and proceeded to touch it, the gun reacted immediately by glowing. They all looked at the gun in awe.
"Woah, now that's cool," Johnny commented.
"Johnny hyung, don't ever try to pull that stunt again," Yuta said as he hit Johnny's head.
"Hey, I saved you though. You gotta give me credit for that."

Johnny, Yuta, and Jisung slowly helped each other back to the 127 dorms. When they got there, they were in the horror of the sight. The building had collapsed and was burning in the aftermath.
"Oh no... this is terrible. The other hyungs weren't at home though right?" Jisung asked.
"No... Taeil hyung, Jaehyun, and Jungwoo were there," Johnny answered quietly.
Jisung started shaking as Yuta walked to examine the debris. He saw a picture frame burning and reached for it. It was a picture of the 127 members.
"I'm sure they are okay. We are OT23 remember?"
Johnny nodded, "Yeah, I'm sure they found a way out somehow. We should go check on Dream's apartment to regroup with them. I'm sure Taeyong would've been heading there if they were already here."

The three of them managed to make it to Dream's apartment building in no time. The building luckily was still intact but there were no lights in the building. Yuta, Johnny, and Jisung made their way up to the Dream's floor, walking by many residents who were trying to patch up their doors or helping the injured. People were crying, shaking, or emotionless.
Eventually, they made it to Dream's apartment. Jisung banged on the door, "Hyung! It's Jisung! Please open the door!"
There was silence for a few minutes, making the trio lose hope. However, suddenly, voices can be heard from the other side. Jisung knocked again.
"Jisung? Is that you?"
The three looked at each other with delight, it was Jeno's voice that answered.
"Yes! Please open the door!"
There were noises as if the door was barricaded. Moments later, Jeno opened the door.
"Johnny hyung, Yuta hyung! What happened to you guys?"
"Long story, let's go inside first."
After settling down and drinking some water, they told Jeno and Jaemin about their encounter with the alien. Jaemin and Jeno were in disbelief as they looked at the gun Yuta was holding.
"So you guys fought with an alien and Yuta hyung actually managed to use their gun to kill them back?" Jaemin asked.
"Yep. We have no idea how it happened but it did," Johnny replied.
"That scares me. What if Yuta is infected by some alien virus by being exposed to that gun like that?" Jisung commented.
"Well, I should be long dead by now since I was shot by the gun. The wound doesn't look unordinary at the moment."
"Anyways, what do you think we should do right now?" Jeno asked.
"It seems safe here at the moment. Let's stay for a bit so Johnny's leg can heal and see if the other members make their way here as well." Yuta suggested.
"I'm so scared right now..." Jisung commented in fear.
Jaemin hugged Jisung, "We all are, but this is reality. That's why we need to put up a fight and stay alive."
Johnny nodded, "Yeah, we will stay alive to the very end. We'll think of this as a video game."
Suddenly, a knock can be heard at the door. They looked at each other cautiously.
"Should we answer that?" Jaemin asked.
"I don't want to risk it being aliens who are sneaking up on us," Yuta replied.
"Help!"
The knocks on the door became more desperate, Yuta immediately recognized the voice and ran for the door.
"It's Shotaro!"
