Chapter 3: Subway

The others were quick to follow and were practically on his heels. They ran across the stairs and into an exhibit. They walked through the rooms until they reached the inside balcony. Yusei crouched behind the railing followed by the others and they looked to see men in military suits searching the area.

"Reports say there is a Firefly in here," stated an officer. "Kill him on sight."

"Yusei?" Luna called in a soft, worried whisper.

Yusei only responded by gesturing for them to follow further. They reached a broken window which led onto the roof. He hopped over the window sill and onto the roof and began to move forward. He looked at his friends who seemed nervous.

"Come on, guys. It's stable," he told them. They heard shouts. "You need to move. If not, I'll probably be killed and you'll either end up dead or in a Quarantine Zone for life."

"Alright, alright, we get it," Crow gave in and they all jumped over. They ran across the rooftops for a couple minutes before the roofs stopped. "Where now, Yusei?"

Yusei looked down the side before jumping. "Yusei!" Luna called. They ran over to see him land on a garbage dump. They all sighed in relief. He then jumped onto the ground.

"You guys, hurry up and come down," Yusei called.

"Are you insane?!" Crow asked.

"If I can do it, so can you," Yusei responded. "Don't worry, it's a safe fall. Now do you want to get caught or do you want to stick with me to Salt Lake?"

They all sighed in defeat before jumping down onto the garbage dump and then onto solid ground.

"Ugh, my legs sting a bit from the landing," Leo grumbled.

"You'll get used to it. There are a lot of roadblocks and barriers on the way that we'll need to go around. You'll also have to learn to climb more," Yusei explained as they carefully walked through the streets.

"Like how much?" Luna asked.

"A lot," he answered. He peered around a corner to see some military officers looking around. Yusei looked around himself to see a subway tunnel leading underground. "There's the way out of here."

"But that goes right passed the officers," Akiza commented.

"Yeah, it does. Which means we'll have to move fast and silent," Yusei replied. "Can you do that?"

"Yeah," they agreed.

"Alright," Yusei responded. "Let's go." He then silently sprinted towards the subway entrance, quickly followed by the others. When they reached the entrance, they began to run down the stairs when Yusei stopped and they notices mist like dust filling the area below. "Great, spores," he muttered but the others heard.

"Spores?" Leo repeated.

They heard shouts from higher above ground. Yusei pulled out a mask. "Okay, each of you take a deep breath and hold it. When you absolutely need more air, ask for the mask and take another breath. I don't have any others so we'll have to share until we get out of the subway tunnel," he ordered and handed the mask to Crow. "Got it?" They nodded. "Good. Now follow me."

Yusei ran forward and the others were quick to follow him into the mist, taking and holding a breath as instructed. They heard more yelling, one saying, "He ran down to the subway tunnels!"

"Great," Yusei stated. He looked ahead to see a couple officers moving in from the other side. They quickly hid behind some crates.

"Come on out, Firefly. We won't hurt you," one said.

"We'll just ask you for information and then kill you for all the deeds you've done," stated the other. Jack, Akiza, Crow, and the twins looked at Yusei worried. They heard other people coming from the tops.

'I don't have much of a choice, then,' Yusei thought. He slowly pulled out a revolver and reloaded what he didn't have.

Leo put on the mask and asked as he took a breath, "Yusei, what're you doing?"

"What every Firefly does in this situation. Fight to survive," he answered. Leo took his last deep breath and held it before giving the mask to Luna who needed it. "Stay here until I call you and be ready for some loud shots."

Before the others could do anything or respond, Yusei moved to hide behind another crate. He looked over the edge of it and noticed as three other officers came in from the stairway.

One of the three noticed him and exclaimed, "There he is!" He shot a bullet at Yusei who ducked behind the crate.

"You can't hide," one of them stated.

Yusei cocked his revolver before moving up in time to shoot one of them. He pulled the trigger and the bullet hit one of the officer's head. The others shot at him and Yusei hid again before moving back up and shot another down. He did the same for each of the last ones until all were down and dead.

Yusei looked at his shocked friends. "Come on. The sooner we're out of the spores, the sooner you'll be able to breathe," he told them. They gave a small nod before they ran through the hallways.

When they reached a corner, they heard a clicking sound. Yusei stopped and got low. And they were confused when he seemed to focus but looked at nothing. "Great," he muttered. "About four Clickers and one Bloater."

Jack took the mask and asked, "What's a Bloater? And why can you breathe this stuff but we can't?"

"You'll see a Bloater when we walk passed it or have to kill it. It's what happens to you after you're a Clicker and you've lived being Infected longer than a Clicker. And spores are deadly and if you breathe too much in, you can become Infected. I'm immune so I can breathe it no problem. In fact, the amount I've breathed should've killed me by now," Yusei explained.

Akiza took the mask since she needed it and asked, "How could you tell how many creatures and what they were?"

"It takes practice and skill. But once you get the hang of it, you'll know it. And you'll also be able to learn Clicker sounds from Bloaters, Stalkers, and Runners," Yusei explained.

Luna took the mask to breathe again. "Is there any way out of here except passed the Bloater and Clickers?" she asked.

Yusei looked around. He saw a gap in the ceiling but it was too high. And the rest of it was blocked by debris. He shook his head. "Unfortunately not," he answered. He looked around the corner at the creatures. He notices a large amount of brick and rubble had fallen near the Clickers and especially the Bloater. And it was big enough for them to hide behind. "Alright. Stay close and stay silent."

They nodded and Yusei silently snuck towards the rubble followed by the others. He looked at his friends and they were obviously shocked to see the gigantic Bloater. Yusei pulled out a molotov from the backpack on his back. The others were confused and a bit worried with what he was going to do with it.

Yusei lit the makeshift bomb and quickly threw it at the Bloater. The small explosion was ignited and the Bloater screamed and ran around a bit as it burned. Three of the Clickers were caught in the fire and were burning as well. The three Clickers fell to the ground dead after a few minutes but the Bloater was left to wander around, completely charred but alive.

"How is that thing still alive?" Crow wondered almost silently with the mask. "And what's so bad about it? It's just like a Clicker, right?"

"Not at all," Yusei answered to the final question bluntly. "Stay low. That last Clicker is too far away to be killed by a molotov."

"What're you going to do?" Akiza asked taking the mask since Crow was done with it.

"Kill it," he answered. "The Bloater will hear the gunshot, so stay low and don't come out for any reason. Got it?"

"Alright," they reluctantly agreed.

Yusei looked at another pile of bricks and fallen rocks and silently crept behind it. He was closer to the Clicker. He pulled out a shotgun and loaded it. He then carefully aimed it before pulling the trigger. The bullet shot forward fast and the Clicker's head splattered everywhere.

The Bloater screamed in alertness and fury. It looked in the direction of the sound before launching a ball of yellow spores towards Yusei's spot from its chest. The ball hit and exploded into a cloud on impact with the rubble.

His friends were worried as they couldn't see him. As much as they wanted to run over to where he was, they knew Yusei would know why they needed to stay in place and that they just saw what made the Bloater that much more deadly.

The spores dissipated to reveal Yusei throwing another molotov at the Bloater. This time, after a few stressful minutes, the Bloater fell to the ground dead. Yusei slowly walked up to it. It twitched a bit, so Yusei used his shotgun and shot its head making it stop its movement completely.

"Come on out, we need to get out of these spores," Yusei told his friends. Jack and the others nodded slowly before following him. They moved through until the spores that created a mist began to lighten up.

They reached a staircase leading to the surface. They walked up and Yusei looked around a bit before saying, "Alright, we're out of the spores. You don't need the mask anymore."

Jack and the others began to breathe normally again. They walked out to the open air of outside.
