There seems to be no end to wandering in the endless corridors with no rooms, but there is no choice but to keep going until the end of this maze.

At the moment, Kyo wonders whether he should report the messed up findings.

However, after consideration, the brunette remembers it might also make Yagami worried, and he won’t be able to reach and reassure him.

That’s right, the redhead can be overprotective when it comes to him.

Apparently, as time passed since meeting Kyo, Iori started to feel a strange urge to check that his mission partner would be safe and sound.

Yet, he cannot understand whether because of Kusanagi gets into trouble. Or could it be because Kyo’s presence was so calming?

On the other hand, Iori is certain of one thing - he won’t forgive anyone, even himself if anything terrible happens to the brunette.

The trigger and the reliever - this is what Kyo has become within time to Iori.

That’s why, since the brunette is aware of Yagami’s current feelings and how he might react, he’ll report to the Headquarters about the NESTS once they return.

Besides, what can happen that he won’t handle? Or so Kyo naively thinks.

But for now, both Resistance soldiers nearly reach the end of the corridor.

So, in theory, there should be a door to the elevator or some spare room. It must be something. Otherwise, someone has poor design skills to make it into an empty space.

In any case, the Kusanagi stays aware of his surroundings. So, who knows what kind of monstrosity can show up when they least expect it? Kyo ponders while checking on the junior soldier.

Despite that, he is secretly curious about what awaits them next before checking the last room. Then, all he would need to do is taking a few samples, and reporting about another successful mission. Kyo keeps thinking while already seeing himself resting after taking a long shower.

Once Kyo and Shingo reach the dead-end, they notice a suspiciously slightly opened door from the right side.

Something is wrong - either the automatic door lock is broken and stuck like this, or something is in between the door. Perhaps an enemy waits behind the door.

Just before the younger brunette moves forward, Kyo instinctively stretches his arm to block him.

After he leans against the wall, he lowers his hand, ordering Shingo to do the same. Later, the older brunette removes his glove by his teeth and tosses it towards the opened door.

Even if Yabuki does what he is asked, he gives an innocent, questioning look at his idol.

Was it necessary to remove his glove in such a way? Or is it something that higher rank or more experienced soldiers usually do? Could it be - it’s an intimidating tactic against the potential enemy? If so, maybe he needs to try it next time as well. Shingo thinks.

Meanwhile, the Kusanagi doesn’t quite like his partner staring at him with such excitement.

To think of it, he looks nothing more than a curious child who is in awe of seeing something exciting. It’s completely different from the one Yagami usually gives him during their missions or off-duties.

Firstly, the way Iori looks away with his cracked poker face after getting caught curiously staring at him, and he keeps denying how he doesn’t look at Kyo or pretends to do something else.

Secondly, the redhead has a habit of giving such a demanding look as if expecting something to happen and once again persisting that it is only Kusanagi’s imagination.

More importantly, recently Iori does it more often.

When the brunette casually drinks water? Yes.

Being off duty or him getting caught changing his clothes? Once again, yes!

If Yagami has anything to say, he should say so! But now? Why he has to be like this? The brunette cannot understand such behavior, and sometimes it irritates him.

One day, he’ll catch his partner and corner him until he gets the wanted answers. Or so Kyo is determined for a while.

But for now, his further thoughts are interrupted by Shingo’s question. “Should we check it? Maybe there is nothing inside.”

“Then, I’ll go first. But you better watch my back. Understand?” The older brunette replies. After picking up his handheld gun, he takes the lead and moves towards the room.

Once Kyo approaches the opening, he makes sure he will be barely visible. After he swallows the saliva, he peeks inside.

However, it was enough to convince him it was not worth investing any further and risking his life.

Even if it is dim inside this room, it’s a pretty spacious one, and its floor is covered in thick organic vine-alike threads. Hell, that thing even shows a sign of life by pulsating and making disturbing, slimy noises. Perhaps it’s a rare outer space life-form or a consequence of the radiation after the Great War.

In the end, Kyo withdraws slowly while hoping not to be noticed by that creature. Unfortunately, just another step back and…

Suddenly, the brunette is alerted by Shingo’s yelling. “KUSANAGI-SAAAN!”

That thing’s one of the grayish vines is wrapped around Kyo’s ankle and keeps moving upwards. Its coldness and dampness soak deeper into his clothes until it reaches his skin.

For the love of the, now it grasps him and tries to pull him inside the room!

Kyo even shakily closes his eyes at the disgust.

However, it’s not the time for the panic! He has to act quickly. Otherwise, only god knows how it will end.

Thus, without hesitation, Kusanagi grips the handheld gun. After quickly aiming, the laser beam burns down the vine.

Inside the room, the mysterious creature screeches, and the separated vine drops to the ground.

That was a close one… The brunette wonders while roughly breathing and staring down at the shot object. Soon enough, Kyo feels the warmth rushing down to the area where the vine was grasping him and closes his eyes as the clothing material on his leg falls off.

As soon as he opens his eyes, he notices this limb is fine and without any scratch.

Unfortunately, this victory doesn’t last long…

And thus, another set of vines burst from the room and counter-attack. Yet, it aims at the Kusanagi’s waist and both legs. Hell, these are faster than the brunette’s battle instincts.

Vine after vine wraps around his one leg, another one, and his waist.

His body is frozen, and he can only stay still. That paralyzing fear takes control of Kyo’s body and makes him feel useless.

Yet, Shingo’s voice immediately returns him to his senses, and he starts resisting. Unfortunately, it’s too late…

These gray, veined vines are stronger, and now they violently toss Kyo onto the ground, making him let out a short, painful groan.

Despite slowly getting dragged into this creature’s lair, the older brunette holds into anything he can.

Anything will do! He is desperate to escape at any cost. As he closes his eyes, he digs his fingertips into the smooth surface as hard as he can while crawling.

Meanwhile, Shingo dashes toward the vine monster while unleashing his saber blade and screaming at the top of his lungs.

However, a new set of vines shows up. One powerful attack and Shingo is sent flying towards the wall facing the door.

And thus, as Yabuki’s back hits the wall, he lets out his last groan, and his body falls like a rag-doll.

No movement nor sound… Did he lose his consciousness? Is he dead? No one can tell at the moment.

Meanwhile, Kyo calls the junior soldier’s name. However, the very little he realizes that it’s his last made mistake.

Even if it is only a mere second, it’s enough for him to loosen his grasp, and now he is getting dragged closer to where the unknown, horrifying creature awaits him.

Despite the fear and despair, the Kusanagi uses his last chance to escape. After he gets close to the corner of the door, he holds onto it with all his might.

But for now, he closes his eyes in utter disgust as he feels how his clothes soak around his waist and below.

Hell, the creature’s familiar slipperiness and coldness nearly make him sick. More importantly, that monster can rip him apart by its powerful grip.

Despite that, Kyo removes his arm from holding the frame of the stainless steel door, only to reach out for his last resort - his trustworthy light-saber blade from the right side of the belt.

Unfortunately, his other hand starts trembling and loosens the grasp before touching his blade. While only the brunette’s upper body remains outside, he shakily stretches his hand towards Shingo while his face is filled with pure fear. “SHINGOOO, NOOOOOOO!!! PLEASE! OH, GOD! WHY! NO! NOOOOO!”

In the end, he is at the mercy of whatever is behind the door without anyone hearing his cry for help or his utter end.
