'BANG!'

'BANG!'

"Aspira! Let's run on this side and be careful of flying bullets!" Rhea shouted and runs quickly, avoiding bullets and leans into the wall.

'Okay, just like any action movie...' I look at Ms. Rhea, preparing to do my awesome run and dodge bullets action.

'RUN! ASPIRA!' I shouted in my mind, feeling my adrenaline pump as I quickly run and sliding into Ms. Rhea side. "Great job, Aspira! And we should go now!" After praising me with a smirk, she then led us into another hallway, a much quieter one...

"Stop." She whispered and wave her hand at my face, making my movement stop.

"Cover my back, while I check if the other side is safe." Rhea softly said, slowly walking into the other side while griping her rifle... don't even ask why she has that.

As I was alone, standing in the middle of the hall. I heard a whistle and noticed Ms. Rhea call 'sign'.

'I guess... The other side is safe.' I thought and quickly went into her side, then leans into the wall. "Where are we going again?" I ask quietly behind her back and she replied, "To the control room."

"Why there?" I asked again.

"To see the intruders and to find Blanc's location."

"I see," I said, not asking more questions, as I continued following her from behind while listening to any incoming footsteps.

As we walk through this maze halls, we finally found the control room and entered not before Ms. Rhea scan her ID in the door.

"Ah~ at last! We found this no good place for 10 minutes, I think?" Rhea jokes around and placed her rifle on top of the keyboards, while I stand behind her and saw 50 monitors, and 7 of them are broken.

"Can we just hurry this and get out?" I said impatiently, feeling frightened that my plans will go to waste.

"Sure! Give me time to find Blanc."

I sigh and cross my arms, 'We should leave this place, before the great threat...'

"Ah! I found him!" My thoughts were cut off as Ms. Rhea shouts in joy and points her finger, showing Sir. Blanc and others are in the garage.

After looking at the monitor, Ms. Rhea grabs her rifle and tilts her head at me, signing that we should move now.

As we quietly walk our way into the right hallway, Ms. Rhea suddenly stops. I look at her back, confused and peaks at her side, and saw dozen armed men pointing their big guns at us.

My body went stiff and frozen, then frantically looks around left and right. I may saw ways for us to escape, but how can we escape bullets? And this is not an action movie scene...

'Oh chips, were doom!' I scream, feeling hopeless in this situation. 'The army guys got us first, before those things...'

As I was crying inside, Ms. Rhea then looks at me and mouthed.

"R.U.N."

She then quickly throws something in front of them, then rolls into the left hall, while I dodge the bullets and went into the right side of the hall.

Smokes quickly spread into the ground, fogging my sight and heard shouts and gunshots.

"Aspira! Run left and straight ahead to find the office for radio calls, we will wait for you in the garage!" Ms. Rhea voice echoed, as I dash away from the fog, then runs left and straight direction, till I saw a closed door which I presumed that this is the office room.

I look at the door and madly rush, and kicks it open which the door magically broke down. 'How the heavens name did I do that?' I walk inside and flinch at the numb pain of my right leg.

'Okay, that already explains the sacrifice I had to do, to kick this door open.' I hobble my way inside, having no time to close the broken door.

'Where is the radio? Or the walkie-talkie?" I thought looking around the room and opens the drawer in the table, and saw a walkie-talkie. 'Ah! I should be able to call someone... Hopefully, this is my ally calling.'

I push the button on the side of the gadget, "Hello? This is Aspira, from scavenger team, OVER." I call, waiting for a response.

"This is Blanc, the Head of the 'Vision Arm Corps', OVER." A hoarse voice said, while I happily cheer inside and having hopes of surviving.

"Professor Rhea is coming into the garage, while I'm far ahead, OVER." I said while Blanc replied, "We will wait for you in the other exit, OVER."

'Other exit?' I thought and ask him, "Where is the other exit? OVER."

"Run right straight, then go left, OVER."

"How did you know, which direction should I take? OVER." I raised my brows, curious about how was he able to say the directions, without even knowing my location.

"That walkie-talkie has a tracking device plant in it, OVER." He said in a deep tone.

"Okay, I will meet you there, OVER," I say my goodbyes and place the gadget into my belt, hanging as preparing my leave.

As I was about to leave, a small hand grabs the back of my shirt. My instincts were quick and harshly grabs the wrist.

"Ow!"

"S-Stella?!"

'How the hell is she here?" I went surprised and saw her look at me with a smile.

"Sister A-aspira, can you let go?" She softly said as I let her go... This is bad, why is she here?
