Jaime dived behind a fleshy pillar as soon as she heard the explosion.
"Wha..." Vanesse blurted. "Are those Deo's bombs?!"
"I dunno! But it certainly sounds like his!" Jaime replied, before looking at Irvine. "Our friend always sets off bombs like these...maybe it's him over there. Should we check it out?"

The Commander was forced back, but not down. Polaris stood within the pink confines of Squall's rather powerful Shell magic, noting that the Commander hadn't moved since he was attacked. She blinked and realized that Squall wasn't stunned; he was simply waiting out the monster, strategizing in his head, and trying to figure out how best to defeat it.
It was in a humanoid shape, but it was nonetheless most likely the same type of liquid monster that they had encountered earlier. Ice magic goes through it and Fire magic makes it deadlier. But it gets stunned by Gravity magic, so...
Polaris vanished within the Shell.
Obsidian reappeared and attacked, slamming the full force of Level 3 Gravity Summon Magic into the liquid monster. At the pressure, the thing simply melted, returned to ooze and lay still on the floor. Obsidian faded away and Polaris materialized within the Shell, looking at the Commander expectantly.
Squall met her eyes. "Regen." The magic surrounded Squall in tendrils of orange, lighting up his skin like a corona and healing any burns he might have gotten from the Thundaga attack. "I don't think it's dead. Your orders, Commander?" Polaris asked expectantly.

LMAO XD I knew Zell would go ahead too! ---------------------------------------------------------------- Stardust couldn't believe what she was seeing. Mr. Zell Dincht was tolerating Blaze? "Wait!" she sputtered, holding up her hand as if it was going to make the tattooed veteran stop. He caught up with Blaze up the steps. She caught Jun's glance towards her, and she frowned. "That's not...right." "Come on Stardust. We have to make sure no one does anything rash!" was Jun's reply. Whatever could they do anyway? They had no choice. She heaved a frustrated growl. "Screw it, fine!" And she followed Jun towards the plight of steps as well. /Hmm...Interesting.../ ~*~ Van glanced from Irvine to the big blanket of smoke ahead of them. She hadn't seen Deo since this whole incident. "But how could that be..." she mumbled. Why would he set a bomb in this place? And more importantly, why was he here? This was the second floor. "I'll check it out! It's just Deo, right?" Vanesse quickly answered before Irvine got the chance to give them the "okay". Standing from her spot, she ran through the cloud of smoke and disappeared.

Squall's group
Squall stared at Polaris as he felt the Regen spell replenish his HP to full. There was no scathe on him or anything and would've prefered if she didn't bother, but he nodded to her all the same.
"I don't think it's dead. Your orders, Commander?" Polaris asked expectantly.
"Good job, I'll handle it from here." Sliding his gaze back on the monster on the ground, he took down the safety of his gunblade and walked towards the monster. It seemed to be starting to retain its human shape.
"Blizzara!" In an instant icycles started forming around it and merged with its liquid body, completely freezing the creature and transforming it into solid. Squall didn't stop walking and swung his gunblade on the monster, followed by an explosion as he pulled the trigger.
The monster blew to bits and slowly crumbled away as it died. Soon, the shell barrier around Polaris and Gemma dissipated and it was a sign that their mini battle was over.
"Let's go," Squall said dismissively, throwing a quick glance on the two SeeDs behind him before trudging towards the hallway once again. As Polaris and Gemma started to follow, they heard a noise--or possibly a hollow sound--coming from ahead of the hallway. It sounded askew and they couldn't tell whether it was a voice of a woman or a man, the only thing they could tell was that...it was laughing.

Irivne's team
You rush ahead into the mist, thinking that Deo and possibly the rest of the guys must be up ahead. You stop short when you hear a voice, a familiar voice. The throbbing heart sound makes it hard to hear, but you can gather bits and pieces of a conversation.
"Odendria... training center... to distract the seeDs.. hold them off for Weiss... No, no, Weiss has the sword, not the girl.... of course he's with the heart... idiot! What?? Did you hear that? No.. I definently heard something... check it out." You hear Mitch say. His information suddenly seems insignificant once you realize that the noise he heard was probably your team. Even though the mist is thick, you definently don't want to be seen.

"D-" Vanesse quickly covered her mouth when she heard a voice--no voices--getting closer and closer to her amidst the smoke. That was when she knew that her hunch was right. This wasn't Deo at all. It was DoTNA. Her forehead creased, her eyes widened when she overheard the group talking about Odendria, Weiss, and the sword.
Then the heart... she thought, her own heartbeat getting faster. They shouldn't have separated! They had to get the others. Weiss is with the heart. Vanesse pivoted on her heel to run out of the cloud of smoke when the strap of her boomerang came off and she fell together with it with a loud thud.

Irvine's team
Through the mist you can see that the FH dock's door is currently wide open, which is what the explosion must have been for. You can also see Mitch and a group of soldiers walking towards the entrance, but it looks like they haven't seen you yet.
It looked like you have some choices: make a run for it, hide, fight, or try to close the door to buy some time.
It's up to you to make the decision because Irvine is nowhere to be seen. Mitch is getting closer.

Polaris stood stock still when she heard the laughter, the odd walls making the sound louder than it probably really was, and sending a quick shiver of anticipation up her spine. She didn't know who the hell was laughing, but at least it was a sign that something was up.
She absently tightened her grip on her war axe, peering into the shadows. She had to be careful, she had to stay guarded.

Zell's team:
Blaze: You race up the stairs with Zell close behind your heels. Behind the two of you Jun urges you to watch your step and not do anything rash, and Stardust brings up the rear of your group close behind her.
As you reach the top, the sight of a rackety suspension bridge swaying slightly greets you. The other end is obscured with the same fog that you've been accompanied with all this while. The strange chanting and eerie screaming seems to worsen here, and you can trace it to the other end.
"Hyne what do you think that is?" Zell asks breathlessly. "It hella looks suspcious!"

"Van!" Jaime whispered as she saw her friend tumbling, making a noise that would've reached the Dotna. "Are you alright?" She quickly helped Van up, looking nervously into the mist. No one rushing through to capture them, to her relief. Casting her glance about helplessly, she panicked even more when she couldn't see Irvine Kinneas around.
Looks like we're on our own.
She knew that they should follow their orders and get backup... but were they going to let the Dotna just come through and swarm Balamb Garden just like that? It wasn't right... they should do something to stop them. But Van and her were just outnumbered by the Dotna troops...what could they do?
"Van can you go inform the rest? I'll close the door to buy us some time." Jaime whispered again, sneaking up to the door and attempting to close it as quietly as she possibly could.

"Hyne what do you think that is?" Zell asks breathlessly. "It hella looks suspcious!"
"I don't know, you're our leader!!" Blaze sighed loudly. "You gonna give us orders or what? Maybe Seifer was right about all the chickenwuss comments."
"Hey! You can't talk to me like that!," Zell said defensively, "This is a team effort. We make the decisions togeth-- H-Hey! What are you doing!?"
Blaze had already ventured onto the bridge and was walking across it. Her black, swirling hair was the only thing visible through the mist.

Zell's Team:
Blaze
You get no further than the middle of the suspension bridge when it suddenly skews to the extreme left, then just as suddenly to the right. Only your fluid reflexes grabbing onto its rope-railings saved you from dropping out of the bridge. You venture a look downward, and it seems to extend several feet into black nothingness.
When you look back in front, a pair of reptilian yellow eyes gleam in the mist.
Stardust
When you reach the top of the staircase, Zell turns back and addresses you and Jun.
"You girls stay here. I'm gonna get her back. We've established that there's something up here and we should go back and inform Squall." After that, he turns and runs into the mist in pursuit of Blaze.
"Finally he's acting like a leader." Jun phews with relief. "Do you suppose Blaze's actions kickstarted him into that?"
You hardly take note of her words as you spot something on the floor in front of you... A white feather that looks rather familiar to you.

"He probably realized that Blaze is retarded and he has to get her out of here," Stardust grumbled, staring at the mist where Zell had disappeared to.
"Hmm?" Her gaze lingered down the floor to spot a feather.A feather?
"Hey Jun, look." Silently, Stardust bent down to pick it up, holding it in front of her for Jun to see. It was gravely familiar, and it reminded her of Rinoa.

The chilling laughter that echoed at the end of the dark hallway jolted Gemma into a state of alarm. Eyes widening, she quickly turned towards Polaris. Observing the concern that had registered on her teammate's face, it confirmed that she wasn't the only one who was hearing things. With a stronger grip on on Paleruin, she mentally prepared herself into a defense mode, ready for whatever laid ahead.
Cautiously pressing forward, Gemma was surprised when the laughter suddenly faded away into silence.
What followed was the shuffling sound of footsteps that seemed to be getting closer....

Blaze stared into the pair of yellow eyes and slowly inched foward, preparing herself to attack it. She was just about to lunge at it when she felt a pull on her arm.
"Hey, we have to go back! Be reasonable, we can't go on with only four people in our team," Zell said, as if begging Blaze to listen. Blaze looked back into the mist and saw that the pair of eyes had vanished.
"Fine.." Blaze grunted and yanked her arm out of Zell's grasp. "I can go back by myself I don't need you to hold my hand," she said sarcastically.
When she and Zell made it back to Jun and Stardust, Blaze noticed something in Stardust's hand. "What are you holding?" she asked.
