Not What it Seems

The setup

"So we have 18 stars" Ushio said. Jano nodded "I'm about to take a row call". He began to call out everyones name. As he finished he wrote all the names down and showed it to everyone. The names listed were Satou, Yumi, Hana, Savannah, Isabel, the pres. , Jano, Markus, Ushio, Momo, Natasha, the girl with boxing gloves, the boy from the storage unit and finally the 5 people Jano had saved before he found me and the others. "This is everyone we have we are still missing two and well we have lost one person in the last mission....." Jano said referring to Yumi. "But what do we do now? don't we need all 20?" Marcus asked. "That's what we know the message said but we have no other options so we have to wait and see what happens" Jano said. "Okay so two more people? Where are they?" Momo asked. "I'm on it right now" Asako said typing away. "And if we can't find them then we'll have to split up and hunt on foot" Jano said. "Your crazy if you think I'm doing that!!" Markus yelled. "Or you stay here alone" Jano said. "A-alone....". "Hey what happened to Satou!!" Ushio said. "Oh.....he's the same" Jano said pointing to a paralyzed Satou covered by a blanket. "What happened out there? Jano said typing on his computer. Ushio got up slowly taking a deep breath. "After Yumi Sacrificed himself Satou went catatonic and well that's it". Everyone stayed quiet not wanting to say what they all thought. "He died protecting everyone and it put Satou in that state". Everyone stayed silent "that's what I figured" Jano said closing his laptop. "Well no matter what the plan continues, we will find the last two stars and get out of here!!!" Jano said putting his hand out. Everyone was afraid, no, terrified about what's out there. "Guys?" He said. Ushio gripped his fist and slammed it on the desk making people jump. "Stop being cowards!!!!!! Yumi gave his life for us and I will do the same to make sure we all get out of here!!!!!". The pres stood up and walked up to Jano putting her hand out. "I'm with you". Ushio put out his hand after the pres. Slowly everyone put there hands in. Markus was last and still didn't like the idea. "From now on......we are one" Ushio said. Everyone cheered as there hands went in the air. "Okay let me break down the main plan for y'all" Jano said directing Asako to get to her computer. Asako opened up a page that led to blueprints of the school. "It seems the last two have no phones so we will be going on foot". "This time the teams will consist of four teams of four people". "But doesn't that make 16?" Momo said. "Yes cause as you know Yumi is now gone and Satou can't travel anywhere" Jano said. "But someone needs to stay with him" Ushio said. "Trust me he's better here alone and we need all hands to pull this off" Jano said. "Now this is how the four teams will move" Jano said pointing to asako. Team A will be the support team they will go in the tunnels and split up ready to be of use to the group they follow and the last remaining member will stay watch on the 3rd floor for any threats". Everyone nodded. "This team will consist of Maomi, Bree, Kyoko, Ayumi" he said pointing to the other 4 people he had saved before us. "They work good as a team and are good at helping in rough situations" Jano said. "If there are no objections I shall move on". "Team B will be a search squad and will consist of the twins, Momo and Natasha, your job is to hunt for the other two stars". They all agreed. "Okay and probably most important is team C, you job will be to.......be a decoy" Jano said. "I don't want to make anyone do it so I need 4 volunteers". No one raised there hand. "This is the most important in, if we don't have this the plan can not continue" Jano said. The pres. raised her hand "sign me up I'm the President and I'll deal with whatever they throw at me!". Ushio raised his after her "I will avenge Yumi any way I can!". Boxing girl raised her hand "I have alot of stamina I'll help the best I can!" She said. "One more" Jano said. No one moved once again. "Guess I have no choice" Jano thought "I'll join th-" "I'll go!" A voice said in the back. Everyone turned around to see the little boy Ushio got from the storage room. "I'll help in anyway I can as long as I can help!" He said. "Are you sure? Have you seen those monsters before?" Momo asked. "Yes and they are terrifing but that won't stop me from doing what I can to help!" "Then its settled team C will be make up of the pres., ushio, boxing girl and the boy". No objections were made. "And now team D will be me, Markus, Hana,and Asako" Jano said. "Our one and only job will be to assist team B in finding the stars, 2 of us will hunt with team B while the others go off and look for a connection with these" Jano said pulling out three little radars. "Now I will show you the paths everyone will take" Asako said. She showed them 4 different colored lines traveling through the school "these will be your routes, stay on them at all times and get to the checkpoints as soon as possible" she said clicking certain spots in each teams line. She handed each team leader an ear piece along with herself "These are our last earpieces so don't break them if you do we will have no connection to you" she said. "Everyone understands the plan?" Jano said. Everyone nodded ready to go. "Alright..... Lets get moving".
