John used the map he got from the soldier's PIPS and found a way toward the place where the Floran kids were caged.

After walking around for a few minutes he finally saw the door that lead to the basement, the place where the cages was.

He opened the door and was greeted with the sight of rows of cages, in both of his sides, filled with small and light green Florans.

Their eyes were filled with wary when they looked at John that had just emerged from the door.

John glanced at them and saw that they were, surprisingly, unafraid.

Their strength and will isn't something that can be broken in just a day or two. Florans are natural born warriors, they wouldn't submissively obey other people, the only one able to earn their respect is usually only their Greenfinger.

John was in fact surprised that this kids didn't fought to death against the people who killed their tribe and destroyed their colony, Florans are a very vengeful race, in fact, the most vengeful one, more than Hylotls.

"Moa...?" Peri recognized one of the kids that was behind the first cage of the row in the right side.

"Big sssiter...?" The youngling Floran walked up to the bars. By the coloration of his skin one would assume he was still a kid, but he was already bigger than most of his peers that were at his side and his eyes gleamed with intelligence. He was what a Human would call adolescent. His coloration was still light, but it was a lot darker than most of the kids.

"So it was you who kept everyone safe." Peri sighed in relief. She walked up to the cage and easily bent the metal bars barehanded.

"That's Tungsten..." John's cheek twitched when he saw how easily she was able to bend the metal bars.

"Who'sss him?" Moa asked Peri while he warily stared at John. Moa had lived most of his life in the tribe so he was unable to speak without hissing.

John stared back at the kid. It has dark and profound eyes that shouldn't belong to Floran, including one that was this young.

[Greenfinger...] John came up with the most reasonable understanding. [A young Greenfinger... That's my first time seeing one. In fact, it's my first time seeing a Greenfinger in flesh.]

"Just a Human that helped me finding you guys." Peri said while she worriedly looked over Moa, searching for any injuries.

"I'm fine..." Moa completely ignored John after he received Peri's explanation. He pat her head and comforted her.

John looked at the door of the room. The whole facility was shrouded in darkness, but there was still some faint lights coming the emergency light. "They are coming..." John was able to hear the sound of approaching footsteps coming from the dark corridors.

"John..." Peri turned her head and spoke with called out John that was behind her. "I have a favour to ask."

"...?" John turned around and met with Peri's eyes.

"Bring them to security. All of them."

"Where are you going...?" John looked Peri that had just walked by him and stopped by the door.

"I'll go avenge my tribe." Her eyes glinted with bloodlust. "Moa... Listen to John for the time being, you can trust him. Take everyone out of this place." She let out a sweet smile. A complete contrast from the bloodlust that just started to emanate from her body.

"Kill them all, sisss." Moa waved his hand toward Peri and cheered her on.

John strangely glanced at Moa and then Peri. This kind of interaction was really... Unique for him. "Alright then..." John couldn't deny her request.

After Peri left the room, Moa got to work and started to open up the other cages, John helped him.

...

"They are at the basement, sir." A soldier walked up and reported to A1.

"This fast?" A1's face was terrible to the extreme. "How they were able to figure out the password of the terminal that fast...?"

[A traior!?] The A1 turned toward his PIPS and looked through his subordinates' profiles. [That's a possibility... Or might it be... The Miniknog...?] He suddently thought that this might be the truth, after all, he was a Apex, and he had been under the Miniknog's rule for a period of time so he know how they work.

[Is they trying to undermine a operation that they themselves are founding? What would they gain with that?] A1 tried hard to think of what Miniknog might win by messing around with this operation. [A motive to finally make a move against the BSS, just like they did with the USCM?]

If this was true... [I have to warn the HQ that the Miniknog might have set their sights on us!] He ignored everything else and reached for his PIPS, rather than trouble himself with what was happening, he had to warn about the possibility of the Miniknog wanting to destroy the BSS.

...

"Sir? Sir!?" The soldier tried to reach A1, but the call wouldn't go through.

They were all the remaining soldiers of the base. They were en route toward the power room when, suddently, they had to switch to go to the basement, their enemies had already turned off the power and were going for the 'cargo' on the basement.

And just like this, 12 soldiers were running through the dark hallways with weapons on their hands, going for the kill.

"How is it?" Another soldier came up and asked.

"The call isn't going through, I think he's occupied with something else..."

"Alright... We just need to deal with two intruders, how hard could it be?"

"How hard...? They had already killed more than 10 of us, counting those who died in the outside and the inside together."

"Ha! They were just a useless bunch, we are the real elites."

"Don't speak like that, we are all comrades..."

"Of course I'm-"

*Puchi*

With a flash, a spear suddenly lodged itself inside the throat of the soldier that was speaking.

Blood flowed through his mouth and wound, his eyes opened wide as he tried, to no avail, to use his hands to stop the bleeding.

"Enemy attack, take cover!" The soldier realized they were being attacked and ordered, even though he didn't knew how and from where the spear came from.

"Where are them!?" The soldier readied their assault rifles and looked everywhere around them.

They were currently in an open hall that was slightly big, about 10 meters square.

The problem was that it was almost completely shrouded in darkness, only the small glow coming from the emergency lights illuminated the room.
