The next day...
Shark: "Initiate Protocol Delta."
The Second Page has taken position outside of the entrance to Sky Industries, armed with as many firearms as possible.
Shark: "Begin."
They storm the lobby, firing their weapons at anything that moves while going up each and every flight of stairs.
Shark: "Now how will he handle the situation?"
Meanwhile...
Makoh: "Wh-Who are these people?!"
Makoh is watching the chaotic security footage from his desk.
Makoh: "They can't know..."
Makoh gets onto his feet and pulls out some metal edges for his fins from inside his desk.
Makoh: "I never thought I'd h-have to use these again."
He puts them on.
Makoh: "(in head) But can I really do this alone?"
Meanwhile...
Ariyae: "(snoring) Pancakes..."
An explosion causes Ariyae to jump out of bed while the others jolt up.
Rox: "What the hell?!"
Cale: "G-Gunshots?!"
They look outside their window to see people fleeing Sky Industries.
Rox: "Makoh!"
They all get to their feet and book it out of the door.
Ariyae: "Of course they'd do that!"
They weave through the crowd and into the ruined lobby.
Cale: "D-Dear god..."
A few enemies stand guard at the base of the stairs, a couple Dwarves.
Rox: "You honestly think that you'll stop us?"
Cale ensnares the enemies and tosses them into the wall.
Ariyae: "Let's go!"
They hurry up the staircases.
Twenty minutes later...
Makoh: "C-Cale?! R-Rox?!"
Makoh sees the heroines booking up the staircase via more security cameras.
Makoh: "Who's th-that girl?"
The door to his office is on the verge of breaking open.
Makoh: "Why are they here?"
The enemy breaks through, with the shark at the front.
Shark: "Give yourself up Trust."
Makoh: "H-How do you know about that?"
She menacingly walks towards Makoh.
Shark: "The Second Page knows everything about you and your friends.
A dark blue aura surrounds him.
Makoh: "Guess I've got no choice."
Shark: "What kind of choice?"
Makoh does a back flip and assumes a diving form.
Makoh: "Getting the hell out of here."
Makoh phases through the floor like a ghost.
Shark: "H-Huh?!"
The enemies begin planting bombs all over the room.
Shark: "Looks like we've got to deal with all of them anyways."
