IC: A burst of red light from the tunnel above Angelo and Sid and a glowing red liquid trickled over Sid's head, embedding itself in the zombie's back. Sid yelped in pain as the ooze dissolved, his body wracked with spasms before he finally stilled, a dull red light appearing in his eyes. With a jerky, uneasy attitude, Sid started to dig upward, giving Angelo no choice but to follow him up to the surface.

As they burst into the light, a man in a red cloak that obscured his face watched them carefully, holstering his bow on his back. A beautiful, fiery haired girl stood next to him, but she obviously looked scared. "Hello," the man said, the slightest glint of a smile playing under his hood. "Fancy meeting a DWMA student out here."
