Your POV:
Before we had a chance to react, Cross had pulled our entire group into another level. It didn't look too bad at the beginning, after all, everything looked like a party was about to begin, until we saw a Partygoer running in our direction. Abel didn't give it a chance to react and immediately threw a sword at its head, which went through the skull and caused instant death.

- Cross! - Cain yelled at him with anger. - Why, out of all levels, did you choose "Level Fun"?!

- Because this level is... Well, fun? - He looked at him with a surprised look. - Don't worry, as long as I'm with you none of you will die, even if they touch you.

- Hey, at least there is food in here, so that's good. - 035 said before grabbing a steak and taking a solid bite.

- 035? - Cain spoke to him?

- Yes? This meat is actually really good, try it guys! - He responded with excitement.

- About that... - Cain tried to say something but got interrupted by 953.

- It is made from human flesh 035. - She said after tasting the meat.

- Yuck! - He spat it on the floor with visible disgust. - Also, how in the world did you realize it was human flesh just from the taste 953?

- Because I tried it in the past? - She responded like nothing happened. - It is not that good though, beef is way better.

- I agree with you, but instead of beef, it is lamb which I prefer. - 682 said with a smile and began consuming all of the food in the room. - But since it is free, I won't complain about it.

At the same time, our squad together with Abel, 239, and Cross was killing Partygoers, who were coming to the room in massive quantities. With each wave, there were more and more of them, and if 239 hadn't given us infinite ammunition for our guns, we would have been dead within a few seconds. We asked Cross how this level was supposed to be fun, and he responded that it was a good way to get rid of your anger. Technically he wasn't wrong, and we were feeling more relaxed while they were falling dead on the floor, but when he said we were going to have fun, I imagined something completely different.

After over fifteen minutes of constant shooting, Partygoers stopped appearing, and at first, we considered it a trap. We weren't mistaken, because a few of them were hiding behind the door, but they were no match for Cross' reality bending. We have killed a huge portion of all Partygoers in the Backrooms, and we have set ourselves a goal of getting rid of this level once and for all.

It would take a lot of time to kill every single entity manually, so instead Cross suggested using firesalt to blow up this place. It was a good idea, especially since he could pull out a ton of this material from other dimensions, and after a few minutes we got to work. Cross pulled out an enormous and heavy crystal, which would easily get rid of the entire level if detonated in the right place.

In order to do that, together with 239 he would transport it to the center of this level, while the rest of us would keep Partygoers away from them, because even a single mistake could activate the firesalt crystal, and with this quantity, it would explode like a nuclear bomb. Thanks to this explosion, this entire level would be destroyed, while Cross and 239 would safely evacuate us to another level shortly before activating the firesalt crystal.

Partygoers knew what we were about to do, and some of them tried to stop us, but with so many SCPs and MTFs in one place, there was nothing they could do, and after fifteen minutes Cross placed the crystal on the floor, while 239 opened a portal for us to a random level. Quickly all of us went through, while our commander grabbed a grenade and threw it under the crystal. Partygoers were running towards it in fear, in order to kick it away before it explodes, while the last two people went through the portal, which closed half a second before the explosion.

- Are you sure it will explode? – Abel asked Cross and our commander.

- It definitely will. - Cross responded without hesitation. - Even if they somehow kicked the grenade away, I planted a small bomb under the crystal, which blew up after the portal got closed. And trust me, this energy was enough to activate the entire crystal.

- So the entire level is gone?

- Yes 953, the entire level is destroyed, and if we are lucky, maybe only a few Partygoers are still alive.

- Good for those who will stay in this place. They won’t have to deal with these entities anymore. – 239 said satisfied, and together with Cross opened a portal to another level.

- Come on, your journey is coming to an end, so let's explore the backrooms a little bit more. One more level and after that, I'll bring you to level 3999. You'll be able to go back to your world from there.  – Cross said and pointed at the portal, which would bring us even closer to leaving this place.
