Akane nodded and jumped a dozen meters into the air and grabbed the railing for the walk way above. She flipped over and landed softly making as little noise as she could. Her stance currently was almost crouched as if stalking an animal. To her there was something akin to a trail in front of her. Seikou and Hitoshi were there covering their zones which gave her some confidence especially seeing them both move liked the professionals they were. With a small grin on her face Akane kept going forward getting closer to the target.
From her vantage point the entire room was big with plenty of areas there target could be hiding. As she went ahead the other two seemed to be closing in. Although faint she could hear their footsteps while hers tapped against the metal. She kept low and dashed ahead smelling something rather strong. Not necessarily a Gastrea. Akane was now at a perfect position that somewhat covered Hitoshi. He was close and it didn't seem like the target moved, but it was no where on the ground floor. Looking around her nothing particularly monstrous was in view, but the smell was still there.
"Where is..." she stopped as a large green mucus like substance dropped on the crates near Hitoshi. There wasn't a large splash, but on impact the crates melted. Akane looked straight at the ceiling where it came from. There were no lights in that area giving it an almost perfect place to hide. Its body was completely black, long and worm like, but with dozens of little legs. Its mouth dripped with the acid and seemed to have been preparing for an ambushed. The second it detached itself from the ceiling Akane immediately reacted.
"Target spotted!" she yelled jumping from her walkway and kicking the creature as it fell down. The Gastrea impacted into the wall near Hitoshi nearly going completely through, but it was still intact. Akane landed on top of some crates near hitoshi. "Crap it must've just transformed!"
