And hopefully, Doves weren't going to attack the small building you guys were infiltrating.

Everyone agreed to the plan. Your heart was thumping in anticipation. Soon, you'll eliminate her. It was only a matter of time. Good thing that you were feeling rested. Everyone slipped on their masks (yours was a bit damaged from yesterday and luckily Homura fixed it to the best of her ability) and filed out of the building, heading to the building where the Doves were. The four of you were patient as Rei slipped out a piece of paper from his pocket. You took notice that it was one of the flyers back in the apartment.

He descended down the building you guys were on and crossed the street. You watched as he tugged up his hood and hovered around the front doors. You were taking a guess that it might be a lobby or something. He gave it a tug to find that it was locked. So, he slipped the paper underneath the door. Like a cheetah, he returned to you guys.

A couple of minutes later and you could see vans pull out of a nearby garage. The familiar vans brought back distant memories. After getting the confirmation, the group finally headed to the building. It was time to start the plan.

You knew why they would choose this building. It was obviously abandoned with the 'For Sale' sign already rotting away. Overgrown weeds everywhere, making the concrete place look creepy. Now all you have to do is enter it. As you guys descended, your footsteps were quiet and every step that was taken, your senses were on high alert. Nearing the front, you crouched by the open doorway and took a peek inside.

There were a few ghouls scattered around, sleeping. You could only wonder how many other ghouls they were upstairs. Rei went in first then followed by the rest of you. Everyone was quiet as you all neared the sleeping ghouls. Your eyes switched over to a ghoul and your kagune released itself.

A slight stir from the ghouls that you stood by. And then it was done. Your three tentacles stabbed through three nearby ghouls, your family was doing the same thing. Trying to elimate the ghouls in the most quietest and quickest way possible. Although it did not go your way.

At the far end of the room, a ghoul sat up quickly. Their eyes flashed and their foggy mind tried to make sense of the situation. Getting a ghoul off your kagune, you shot it towards them. It pierced right through them and you thanked the sluggish movements of sleep when they tried to run. Clearing the first floor, there were two more floors.

The second one went like the first one. Sadly, you guys would have to fight as more ghouls resided on the third floor. You took out three more ghouls and these ones finally woke up. It caught your attention. Were they overworking the ones below them? Is that why the first two floors didn't hear you?

You spun around blocking a knife looking kagune with one of your tentacles. You wrapped the tentacle around their kagune, snapping it towards the concrete ceiling and with the infamous move - you pierced them right through their chest. Blood sprouted everywhere as the ghoul slipped from your hold. Then you started to fight off another ghoul who had a single fish type of kagune. Bikaku. Unfortunately for them, they went down easy. Suddenly your eyes caught a ghoul slipping out from a window.

You shot a tentacle to them but they dodged by the closest centimeter and your kagune instead made a dent in the concrete wall. "Rei!" You shouted, for once unsure what to do.

"Kill them!" Rei yelled back. His kagune held back a ghoul. "Make sure they don't inform the others!"

With the order given, you slipped out of the window and followed the ghoul. You hopped from building to building, thinking of a way to intercept them. Hope was finally brought into the horizon when there was a building that could give you an advantage. Straight ahead, you could see that this ghoul was going to have to make quite a few jumps to scale the tall buildings. Hoping that the ghoul didn't see you, you jumped to the other side of the street and you barely caught the edge of it. You ran the fastest you ever did to the building.

Why would it give you an advantage? It looked like it was under renovations so you slipped through the empty windows and landed in the path of your prey. A grin stretched across your face seeing them look shocked. "Decided to leave the party?"

The ghoul didn't answer you instead taking a couple of steps back. Wisps formed and two tentacles popped out. "If that's how you want to be..." You attacked first.

The ghoul dodged and shot out one of theirs. In the nick of time, your tentacle blocked it. Then, with a smile, you wrapped your tentacle around theirs. Confused, they  tried tugging it away but couldn't. Like you would be weaker than them. You shot your tentacle but it was blocked by the free one of theirs. With a tsk, you brought down your last one right into their skull. Blood splattered onto your clothes. With a sigh, you let your kagume disappear.

It was almost time.
