"Major Briana, it's toxic here! We better go down to the ground floor," Lt. Zendaya said while covering her mouth and nose.

"It's a chemical gas!" she added and swiftly tapped Major Briana's shoulder, attempting to assist.

"No! The smoke is coming from that room, and it is clearly intentional!" Major Briana exclaimed, distinguishing the anomaly in Kyrie's room. Full of smoke, from smoke grenades!

"Ma'am, we better get down to the ground floor immediately," the Earth Force trooper said.

People on the third floor are really scared. They can't move because of thick white smoke everywhere. It's so confusing and scary, and you can't see anything because of the smoke.

In all this confusion, Tracie comes up with a bold plan. She urgently wants to rescue Kyrie from the middle of the Manila Hospital City. The rush makes everything more tense, and the smoke makes it even scarier. With each second, it gets more challenging to escape in the thick, confusing haze.

"Hmp!" Sofia exclaimed, hastily covering herself. Even Sofia, who had visited Kyrie, found herself on the same floor.

"I have to see him! Cough, cough, cough!" Sofia exclaimed, blinded by the white smoke.

"Call for assistance for the patients, evacuate them away from this floor!" Major Briana ordered, gambling to discern something through the thick smoke. Beside her, Sofia took chances, attempting to locate Kyrie in the middle of the smoke. Major Briana grabbed Sofia's arm, securing her from going anywhere else.

"No way!" Sofia declared and broke free from Major Briana's hold.

"Hey! Where are you going?!" Major Briana shouted at Sofia, who continued walking further.

Cough!

Cough!

Cough!

Major Briana couldn't follow her anymore. Sofia covered her nose and mouth, sprinting towards Kyrie's room, the source of the billowing smoke.

She searched the room and opens a window.

"Kyrie!!!!" she shouted.

"Kyrieeeeeee!!!" she shouted again at the window!

Looking for possible sightings of Kyrie But she's late.

Thud!!!

Tracie flings open a wide hospital window, creating a daring escape route. Without hesitation, Kyrie and Tracie leap courageously from the third floor, utilizing the expansive opening to make their swift descent.

Kraaaaassshhhhhh!!!!

"Ump!" Tracie exclaimed as she slightly knocked her elbow and carefully fell near a moving garbage truck!

"That's a good landing" Kyrie said who gently lands at the trash bags.

"Eeeewww but filthy!" Tracie said who landed with him.

Kyrie climbs up the garbage bin of the moving garbage truck. Prepares for the escape.

"Hhhmmm," Kyrie mused, gazing at the hospital window. To his surprise, he spotted Sofia, energetically shouting his name.

"Kyrie!" Sofia's voice entered the ears of Kyrie and his soul's attention. Telling, why did he do that?

____________________

Kyrie and Sofia's eyes locked, a silent connection across the distance. Eye to eye they see each other.

"Sofia, she's looking at me." Kyrie said.

Tracie observes the two.

"Huh," Tracie said, looks like intimidated.

"He made a run for it," Sofia remarked, spotting Kyrie and Tracie.

"That's your girl," Tracie said to Kyrie.

"Hmm, Sofia," Kyrie replied with a playful smile, realizing the unexpected twist of the situation. Kyrie continues to look eye to eye with Sofia. But the truck goes farther.

Sofia still chase thru her eyes the garbage truck where Kyrie and Tracie landed. Until the garbage truck disappears from her sight.

"Kyrie," Sofia whispered.

_____________________________

Sofia noticed that the smoke in the room started to dissipate, and concern spread among the people regarding the patients.

"Huh? Oh no!" Sofia exclaimed, observing Earth Force troopers entering the hallway of the floor. She heard approaching footsteps from the room where she stood.

"Find the boy and find the girl!" Major Briana ordered, intentionally aiming to locate Kyrie. This time, they also wanted to find Sofia. Major Briana sought to uncover any potential connection between them.

"Yes, Ma'am!" the Earth Force troopers responded and executes her orders.

"(I'd better get out of here)," Sofia thought to herself, hastily descending from the third floor using a fire exit.

____________________________

Twaaamppp!!!

Kyrie and Tracie jump out of a moving garbage truck. They stop near a quiet street by the hills. They gracefully leave the still-moving truck with a bold move. As they stand on the ground, the noisy city fades away, and they're on a calm street near peaceful hills. They take a moment to plan their next moves in their secret escape.

"You are looking me like that," Tracie tells Kyrie while slightly sweeps some dirt from her nurse dress.

"Now tell me why did you save me? Don't Lie!" Kyrie asks Tracie, a question he like to asks after they jump out from the garbage truck.

Tracie avoid Kyrie's interrogating eyes.

"I'll tell you if we ride first and escape, come quick! we'll go to your Cybot, its in our garage facility" Tracie answered.

They both ran to the bay. After escaping through a window at the Manila Hospital City, Kyrie and Tracie jumped from the garbage truck and reached the hills near Manila Bay. They planned to run and escape through the water. Quickly, they sprinted towards the bay. A daringly escape by crossing the water.

________________________

"Garage?" Kyrie exclaimed as he ran.

"It's not a car; it's a Cybot," Kyrie added.

"It's a fighter jet! Ha ha ha!" Tracie exclaimed while running too, indicating that she had already gone inside the Flight Cybot, which left Kyrie disappointed.

"You don't know," Kyrie said.

"I know," Tracie replied while running.

"You know nothing!" he added, intimidatingly.

"You know nothing more about Cybots," Kyrie said, intensifying his intimidation.

Tracie changed her mood, somewhat disappointed too.

"I will!" Tracie stopped running and answered.

The two paused for a while and had a small talk.

_________________________

"I know about your Cybot, and I intend to learn more about it from now on!" Tracie exclaimed.

"How can I trust you then? Or, it seems like the question is, can I trust you?" Kyrie answered, coming to a stop as well.

"If you don't, you'll never see your Cybot again," Tracie said to Kyrie, a statement that seemed to carry weight.

"A desperate move," Kyrie replied, his eyes sharp and discerning.

"Just listen to me, okay? We need to get out of here now," Tracie said, walking forward.

"No more arguments from you, hard-headed man," Tracie added.

"Hhhmmm..." Kyrie replied, contemplating the situation.

_______________________

Kyrie walks with her.

"We ride here and goes to our secret place" Tracie explains..

The two reached the isolated part of Manila Bay and see a tied speed boat. Kyrie rides the speed boat and checks it.

"You really prepared for this do you?" Kyrie interrogates.

"That's our ride" Tracie said and points at the speed boat standing by for their escape. She prepared it earlier as according to plan.

"You intentionally wants to save me from the Earth Force people are you?" Kyrie interrogates again Tracie.

"Shut up and just ride," Tracie answered and taps the arms of Kyrie, telling just ride please!

___________________________

Kyrie and Tracie started the speedboat, quickly leaving Manila Bay. They took control of a sleek boat, slicing through the water with a burst of energy. The boat roared to life, creating waves of excitement as they made their bold escape, with city lights shining in the distance.

Splaaaaaaaasshhhhh!!!

Kazooooooomnnnnnn!!!

Splaaaaaaaashhhhh!!!

"Where is the garage you were telling me?" Kyrie asked Tracie while steering the speedboat.

"It's in an isolated place," Tracie answered, skillfully maneuvering the speedboat. Kyrie held onto Tracie's arms as she guided the vessel.

"Huh?! Don't hold my arms, you fool Nobody can touch me! You are already hugging me!" Tracie exclaimed as Kyrie sat behind her, resembling a motorcycle ride.

"Well, I don't have a choice. If you speed up more, I'll definitely fall," Kyrie said, transferring his hands to the ropes. Tracie appeared to blush, evident in their positioning within the speedboat.

"You already pushed me into this situation, so it's up to you if you let me go away," Kyrie remarked while holding onto Tracie in the speedboat.

"Tsk! What a day!" Tracie responded.

They reached a peaceful, isolated shore.

"We have to move," Tracie instructed Kyrie, who seemed cooperative this time.

After an intense journey, they stealthily docked at an unknown port in the heart of Manila, their destination shrouded in secrecy, and the stakes escalating.

"We'll walk from here," Tracie said to Kyrie and started walking again to reach the secret place she had mentioned.

"Who is this girl?" Kyrie wondered silently as he walked alongside Tracie, the enigma of her identity lingering in the air like an unanswered riddle.

Tracie led the way on a quiet shore, and Kyrie, cooperating surprisingly, followed her. They walked to a secret place after docking secretly in an unknown part of Manila. As they walked, the steps showed urgency, making Kyrie think about the mysterious girl with him. He didn't know it yet, but this mysterious journey was just the start.
