Hirotomo: {angry tone} so?! When are these lights going to come back on?!

Maaya: {raising voice} calm down! I've told you this I don't know how many times! Can't you wait a moment? {sighs}

Otome: {frowns} you guys fight a lot, how is Fuyukuchi? Has he found them yet?

Maaya: we have no way of knowing that, I can't check the cameras to know that.

The door opens, and Fuyukuchi enters, looking into the darkness. He turns his face from side to side, then looks at them.

Fuyukuchi: why is everything dark? {arches eyebrow}

Maaya: {short laugh} We turned off all the power in the room, to restart.

Otome: by the way, we did that a long time ago, why hasn't the power come back on yet?

Maaya: {slow and nervous tone} So... I was going to say that, but I couldn't say it because of all the arguments you've had, anyway! We have to manually turn the power back on, go to the circuit breakers and turn everything on {shrugs}

Hirotomo: {sighs} okay... Let's split up and go on our way, since they're two different areas, we'll split up in pairs, okay?

Fuyukuchi: in that case... Since they're women, we'd have to protect you.

Otome: look, I'm even outraged by this {puts her right hand to her forehead}

Maaya: don't start another argument over this! {screams} Let's split up already!

They grab two copies of the service area maps, while arguing about who goes to which corner, ending with Maaya and Fuyukuchi going to the south area, and Otome and Hirotomo going to the north area. Maaya walks into the woods next to Fuyukuchi, who suddenly extends his arm, stopping her from walking.

Fuyukuchi: We're being watched... Do you remember the footprints we saw while we were walking here?

Maaya: I remember, they're from Velociraptors, right?

Fuyukuchi: Yes... These animals are intelligent, so I'm asking you to be careful, OK?

Maaya: Of course! I'm not an idiot! Remember? I take care of the entire technological system here {smiles confidently}

Fuyukuchi: Keep your voice down...

They walk a little further until Fuyukuchi raises his gun while signaling for Maaya to run.

Fuyukuchi: Run... {screams} Now!

Maaya: Ah! Okay, okay!

She starts to run, stumbling on the first step, but she quickly gets up and runs again. Heading out of the woods to the service area of the south wing, she leaps fluidly between the branches and the dense undergrowth of the forest, exiting it and handing over and closing the door behind her immediately. Maaya takes her map and heads downstairs, guiding herself by the plan drawn on the paper. She gets a little lost, but after a while, she finds her bearings and finds the switches, she crouches down and starts turning a particularly large crank.

Meanwhile…

Mikael's group was getting close to the already abandoned center, but between them and the center, there was a large fence.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Mikael: This fence is strong enough that I can't easily cut through it, right? We better avoid getting tired and climb it.

Joana: It makes sense, if it were that fragile, it would be useless, not to mention the shock we would receive.

Natalie: Wait a moment.

She throws a twig at the large one, when the twig falls without any reaction of shock, she approaches and, excitedly, puts her hands on the fence, pretending to receive a shock. Joana is shocked and her eyes widen. Natalie laughs at her reaction while admitting that she was pretending.

Joana: Don't do this to me! You idiot! I was really scared! {pouting}

Natalie: Relax! Let's just climb it

One by one, they start climbing the big one. Meanwhile, Maaya turns on the switches one by one, until she turns on the power to the bars, which activate just as Riley, the last one to go down, is holding onto the bars. She is sent flying away with the shock, Mikael catches her in his arms before she falls to the ground.

Mikael: Wow! Are you okay?

Riley: Your Holiness... I had nothing to do with this and I still end up feeling bad.

She crosses her arms as she sulks out of Mikael's arms, walking with strong steps.

Mikael: How funny… {holds back laughter}

Meanwhile, Maaya sees the energy jump a little in joy, only to fall to the ground in fright when the parallel pipes next to her are separated by a Velociraptor's headbutt. The dinosaur roars as it pushes against the pipes, trying to destroy them in order to advance against Maaya. She screams as she gets up, with the adrenaline gained, she runs and closes all the doors she passes, trying to delay the creature. Climbing the stairs, she closes another door and enters back into the outdoor vegetation area, where she leans against a wall, breathing heavily.

Maaya: Oh my... that was a close call.

Meanwhile...

Fuyukuchi was walking through the vegetation, his gun raised at all times, until he noticed the rustling of some foliage. He approaches and stands behind a fallen trunk and points his gun at the creature. He concentrates on taking an accurate shot, but before he can do so, the bushes next to him part as another Velociraptor appears, it stares at him for a while, its eyes piercing his.

Fuyukuchi: You clever bastard...

He stumbles backwards, having his eye scratched by the dinosaur's large claws, which bites his leg and steps on his stomach, tearing off his left leg from the knee down. He screams in agony as he fires a single shot, which grazes the lower right part of the Velociraptor's jaw, which roars to try another attack, but before he can, Fuyukuchi fires another shot at a fragile trunk, making it fall and separating them both. Taking advantage of the opportunity to crawl away from the creature, he hides on top of a tree, while tying his leg, trying to stop the bleeding, grunting in pain.

Fuyukuchi: Damn... Why does an animal like that have to be smart? She lured me with that Velociraptor, so that I wouldn't be aware of her approach.

Meanwhile...

Mikael and his group arrive at the center, entering the place calmly, while Mikael shouts, calling for Hirotomo. Joana and Natalie quickly melt into the treats present in the dining area, devouring everything quickly, forgetting everything that had happened.

Nikolas: How greedy...

Riley: In what way?

Nikolas: You shouldn't think about these things, not at that age. By the way, I can imagine you making that scene with them, don't you like sweets?

Riley: Hey! I may look like a child, but you yourself know that I'm extremely old.

Nikolas: Well… You know we can get old, but not change our personality much.

Mikael: Hey! Guys! I'm going to look for Hirotomo, does anyone want to come with me?

All: No…

Mikael: Uh… Okay?

He goes upstairs alone, looking for Hirotomo around the facility. Meanwhile, the others stay there, in the cafeteria. Nikolas and Riley sit down and start eating something with the excited Natalie and Joana. Everyone notices a shadow on one of the thin walls, a Velociraptor approaching, they are surprised and then calm down.

Joana: OK, don't panic, we can handle one of them without any difficulty.

Natalie: No...

Nikolas: That Velociraptor has an owner, and the owner... Is strong, he's not someone we can easily defeat.

Natalie: That's it, what we can do is a game of strategy, and I already have the ideal plan, does anyone here know of a narrow and labyrinthine place?

Joana: There's the kitchen, the parallel tables would work like a maze.

They head towards the place silently. Joana closes the door by accident, making a noise and attracting the creature from the living room to the area where they were.

Riley: {screams} you idiot!! Why did you do that?!

Joana: {screams} I'm sorry!

Nikolas: You two! Stop screaming!

Natalie silences them and they hide behind the parallel tables in the kitchen.

Meanwhile, Hirotomo and Otome, who had already reactivated the power in the north wing, meet up with Fuyukuchi and Maaya.

Otome: Oh my, you're really in a bad way.

Fuyukuchi: Don't tell me, Captain Obvious!

Otome: Calm down, you stressed-out guy!

Hirotomo: It looks like everything went well, let's go back to the center now.

Maaya: Not yet, I trapped a Velociraptor in the south wing, before finding the injured Fuyukuchi. I prioritized bringing it back to the center, but since you're here, I think we can go back there and take that thing down, it's not like they open doors {laughs lightly}

Back to the other group...

The Velociraptor moves its claws along the kitchen door handle until it manages to open it. It pushes the door and roars a little, after a while, responding to the call, another Velociraptor appears to join it. The two start walking around the kitchen, while the four start dodging until they are halfway away from them, on the opposite edge. Natalie grabs one of the kitchen utensils and throws it at a pile of plates and pans, knocking everything over and drawing the attention of the Velociraptors who head to the area in question, finding nothing. The four take advantage of this and start a surprise attack.

Natalie: Look back! You pest!

She was going to punch the Velociraptor in the face, but the two evaporate into dust before that. She punches the table behind the dinosaur, before it can understand what happened. A low buzzing sound happens and then, the buzzing turns into a loud thunder that destroys the kitchen completely. Everyone there is thrown into the room once again, from the rubble and smoke, loud footsteps echo, a female silhouette visible.

Kiko: What?... Mikael isn't with you? What a shame... Well, I know he's strong, especially now that he has that dinosaur at his disposal, so... I'm going to warm up a little with you guys, I hope you can entertain me a little, and even if you don't last long... I'll keep you alive to see your faces contort in agony...

She smiles devilishly, as she stretches a little, stretching her leg and then her arms, jumping and moving her body, to soon get into a combat position, still with a cynical smile.

Kiko: Come on! All of you! I want to see if you can at least do me some damage!
