Caleb (it was Caleb who asked that, Shal) was trying to get a closer look at the vent to make sure we was only seeing things. That was why he didn't answer DJ at first. He and Sam were having a slight tiff and Caleb used that to ignore DJ further.He illuminated his hand and held it in front of him. The light shown on the vent and it was just what he knew he would see. There was black goo oozing out of the vent. [b]"Guys, I think we should get out of here. It's starting to look like a trap or something. Look."
He was pointing towards the vent. [/B]
Leon looked around. Caleb was right. Now the he looked closely, he could see the ooze everywhere. Wherever there was air conditioning or plumbing, the slime was dripping from it. it pooled on the floor and started to twitch violently.
"Change of plan," he told the others calmly.
"I want the healing to start right now. Whoever's closest to Sam, cover her." Just as Leon finished speaking, more of the creatures started forming from the ooze.
"Just so you know, these things are pretty weak. Don't let them touch you, and attack first if you can. Make sure they don't start screaming." Two of the monsters formed before Leon's eyes, but before they could even open their mouths, he let rip with a shock-wave, sending them tumbling down the corridor. They smacked into a railing and exploded into that gooey substance that spawned them. Another one came from behind, but Leon turned and sent it flying upwards towards the ceiling.
Bad move, as it turned out. The creature hit the air vent, knocking it loose, and an entire river of the slime cascaded onto the floor. Leon swore, and leaped from the third floor back to the ground floor.
"Whatever you do, don't go to the third floor," he muttered, shaking his head at the move he had made. he ran over to an unconscious feral and revived him with the medkit. The feral stirred. "who..." he croaked.
"My name's Leon, I'm from the school." Leon told the feral, looking around.
"I'm...Alex...Those....things..." the feral muttered. "They came....the plumbing..chaos...everyone being attacked.."
"I understand" Leon said, trying to calm Alex down. "That's ok, we have a healer here. They'll fix everyone up, and then we're leaving."
"No!" Alex gasped, and there was real panic in his voice now. "They'll....kill.....you....They have a....a leader...A human, but...A real....monster!"
"A human... No way!" Leon exclaimed. "You're saying one super did all of this?"
"Y...Yes. You have....to go!"
"We aren't leaving" Leon told the feral. He starting broadcasting to the others.
"We have bad news. Really bad news. These things are being created and led by a super. We have to heal and remove as many people as we can before this person shows up again."
