"We've go to go. Now." Carson was a bit forceful with his statement as he waved them over, wiping the threatening tears.
Yugo opened his mouth to argue, but Melissa quickly elbowed him harshly. "Let's go, we can't waste time arguing here." she agreed with Carson.
"But we can't just all leave! We need somebody to slow them down!" Yugo seethed.
"I know that, but you," she shoved him, "Need to go." Yugo fell over, which honestly hurt more than he thought.
"But-"
"Your 'Affinity' won't be of much use here." she retorted, and she looked down into his brown orbs.
Yugo offered her no argument, and he nodded reluctantly. The knocking resumed, slightly louder.
"Good, now go." she ordered, pointing off in the opposite direction.
"Promise me this: You come with."
"What? Now is not the time-"
"You don't know how to use it! Besides, fatigue."
Melissa thought for a moment. "You're forgetting something- I'm the Angel of Violence," Yugo gave Melissa a stern glare, "I don't need my 'Affinity' to-"
"I wasn't speaking as to that skill." Yugo crossed his arms.
"I've got that covered don't worry! Just go!" Carson broke off their argument, "You too Melissa!"
She frowned, "Just... Be safe okay?" she said, and Carson just gave her a shy smile.
"I'll have Zach and Chris, I'll be fine," the two kids in mention came over to Carson's side, "But I'll warn yo-" There was a loud bang, and Carson glanced over his shoulder, "They're going to flank all sides, so go!"
Melissa reluctantly walked off, and she found herself rushing out the back door, Yugo right behind her, hoping that the trio that they all left behind would stay safe.

Zach cracked his knuckles loudly, and Chris just stared at him in disappointment. "What?" Zach asked.
"Nothing." came the blonde's reply. Chris looked over to Carson, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"I'm pretty sure," Carson then looked down the hallway Yugo and Melissa went through, "Besides, we need to buy them time, and hop that they'll all be fine." He walked towards a room that was in the same hallway.
"Hey, wait up!" Zach called after him and dashed off, and Chris decided to follow suit.
"We gotta hurry! If they see us when we use them, then there's absolutely no way we can dissuade them."
The trio went into the farthest room on the left, where they quickly dressed up so that all distinguishable features of the trio were well hidden. They then heard a crash. They had breached the door.
"Do you think that the ot-"
"Yes, there is a reason why I had the others go on." Carson interrupted Zach's question.
"How do you know?" came Chris's muffled reply.
"Because we know that the others are somewhat familiar with their 'Affinities' and the extent of their powers!" Carson then turned around, "Besides, they have the Angel of Violence with them, they'll be fine even if they're ina pinch."
