<Back Stab>

Zero willed <Back Stab> to activate, targeting Josh. Zero's vision went black for less then a split second, as if he had blinked, only to find he was now looking at an areal view of Josh's back. Expecting this from the ability's description, Zero instantly grasped the situation. Zero pulled the dagger out of his pocket before he started his fall directly behind Josh. Zero slammed his dagger down into the crook of Josh's neck when suddenly his entire body slightly cooled.

Zero fell on top of Josh, intern shoving him to the ground. The pistol went sliding across the floor and Zero watched as the two remaining people standing looked over in shock to find Zero on top of a screaming Josh. Quin slightly raised his pistol, only to stop once more, something Zero noted. It was Linda however that took off into action. She sprinted to Zero's right, and he knew she was running for the gun.

Without giving her time to reach the gun, Zero yanked the blade out of Josh before willing Back Stab to target her. Zero once again blinked, only to find himself falling onto a moving Linda this time. Instead of stabbing her in the neck, Zero instead slid the knife down her back. Once more as the knife made contact with the target and created damage, his body cooled. Linda screamed in pain as the knife still did enough damage to feel, and the weight of Zero's new muscular body caused her to go sliding across the floor.

Once Zero made contact with Linda, he quickly looked back at Quin, to see if he was going to shoot him. What he found was a stunned Quin that was simply standing and watching everything that was happening, his arms dropped to his sides. 'Seems like he is smart enough to know what to do to survive, I wonder if killing you would be worth it.' Zero stood from were he was currently kneeling, which was Linda's back. Without pause, Zero grabbed the the pony tail before dragging her to the railing that divided the levels and the large open area.

Zero lifted Linda up before grabbing her throat with his other hand and holding her so she was suspended over open air. He looked over at Quin, noticing Josh was also starting to stand up, both of their eyes locked on Linda. "Choose Quin, Do I drop her, or do you switch places and I drop you." Know that any funny business will result in everyone dying." Zero had to admit his arm was getting a bit heavy simply holding her were she currently was the entire time, however he wanted to test Quin so he held out.

Quin didn't even glance at Josh, even though Josh was practically begging Quin to go through with the switch with his eyes. "Quin... Please swit-" Quin cut Josh off mid sentence, talking to Zero directly. "This is now a world were the strong make the rules. And she broke a rule." Josh staired at Quin with open shock and evident betrayal, however Zero couldn't be happier with his words. "Well spoken." Zero let go of Linda's neck as he finished speaking, Josh half lunging for the barrier, only to fall back to his knees not five feet away from his original position.

Zero locked eyes with Quin, and couldn't help but smile. "Were did you take the rest of my bags?" Quin visibly swallowed before speaking. "Shouldn't we take care of the other creatures first?" Zero looked at the other Qwulvises currently laying eye up on the ground, each having a tiny puddle of blood next to them. "I have other plans for them, right now I want to know were my other bags are."

Quin, ever the smart one, simply got straight to the point and responded. "We took your bags and brought them to the staircase, which is were we have been holding up so far. Due to you filling multiple bags with snacks and drinks, we were able to survive. However due to that smart creature always coming after us when we appeared, we were always only able to grab at three bags, and that was at random."

Zero nodded. "Why couldn't you just head back to the Highschool?" "The large eyed creature is still outside, not to mention our leader, Gem, has an ability user that can tell lies. If we were to come back and say you got killed because Linda screamed, and we didn't get any food, we would be kicked from the group entirely." Zero shrugged as that would surly be the case, as they had tricked their ways into this expedition. "Whatever, I will cover your retreat to the high school, so I want you to send a message to them."

Zero walked down the parking garages stare case until he was on the lowest floor, to which he pushed them open. Zero heard Josh and Quin push through the doors a second later. 'Zero had given Josh and Quin the souls from the Qwulvises after dissecting each of them and putting there organs in his shop while he had the two doing other stuff. He happened to acquire lowest Grade organs from the Qwulvises this time as he instantly put the organs into his shop directly from the still living body's. These parts he made 12k less then the original prices. Once they each reached enough souls to become a Host, he made them transfer it all back, besides the seven he had Josh use to heal himself.

Zero had taken the guns from both of the men, as he wasn't confident enough that they wouldn't shoot him in the back the first chance he got. When they finally arrived at were they had first jumped the wall to get into the parking garage, Zero questioned the Window about the creature. 'Window, What is the difference between the small eye creatures and the large one?'

-Notice-

The small Qwulvises the Host has been fighting are what Humans consider babies. The large Qwulvis is the mother.

Zero's jaw dropped open at that information. 'Window, how often does a Qwulvis reproduce?'
