"Elves, magical cars, demonic blurs that abduct dicks. What's next, are you suddenly going to be able to talk?" Zane asked sarcastically as he turned his head to look at Ace, who was now perched on his shoulder. "Yes, Yes I am, fucker" came the voice of Samuel L Jackson. Of course, the bird simply chirped happily, and certainly did not respond with the voice of epic. Rolling his eyes, Zane looked at the car in front of him, shrugged his shoulders, and got into the car. Just as Lilith was making progress, some blurry thing took the badass guy away. That just wasn't allowed. "I'll get him!" she shouted, taking off after him as fast as she could, Lilith gave chase, and eventually found her way to a portal. A portal that was closing. Beyond it she could see Alec talking with some bad guy, but the thing that struck her attention wasn't the fact he was a crocodile human sort of hybrid, but the offer he was making Alec. "Hey! I want money, power, and sex too! Mostly money, but the other two are good too! Take me! I can be a bad guy! Just watch me!" she stated, before seeing a cockroach crawling on the ground. Shame, she loved cockroaches. Quickly, she slammed her foot on the thing, ending its existence immediately. "SEE!" she exclaimed, but the portal was closing. "Yeah well fuck you too! ******bag! Pervert! Whatever the hell your name is, tell that guy that if he doesn't give me that same offer, I'm going to find out where he lives and turn him and his family into purses and shoes, and I hate purses and shoes. In fact, here!" the girl shouted angrily, taking off her shoe and hurling it at the stairs at the now tiny portal, "I hope it smells as bad as the rat that died in there two days ago!" she spat.
Shane visibly raised an eyebrow at Colton's response. Her weaknesses? I'd love to hear about those someda- his thoughts were cut off as a robot entered the scene. With the amount of them roaming around, this was nothing new. What was it doing, and why were its eyes red? He got his answer shortly as the robot raised a robotic arm. That was odd. Shane's eyes went wide as the arm went into the robot and emerged as a pistol. "Carter, get down!" he yelled, but his cellmate didn't react fast enough. As Carter was shot, Shane raced over and caught his body as he fell. The assassinbot turned and went back the direction it had come from, its job done, as Shane started shouting at Carter. "Carter! Carter! Get up!" he shouted, but Carter wasn't getting up. "We're going to get you home, okay? You'll be fine, you'll see" but he wasn't going to be fine. "You'll live through this, you're a fighter, you can't die now" he pleaded, but Carter was most certainly going to die. In fact, as Shane spoke the last words, he felt Carter's body go cold and completely limp OVER THE NEXT FIVE MINUTES THANK YOU GABI, and the life vanished from him. Defeated, Shane let the body hit the floor with a quiet thump. For the first time since he had arrived, Shane truly didn't care whether he had his powers or not. They wouldn't have helped in this situation. However, had someone been around, he may have been able to do something, to either help Carter or stop the robot. He'd had the opportunity, too. Lucas had been here, he would've been here to stop the robot, but Shane had broken him. If he hadn't done it though, they wouldn't have much of a chance of escaping. He sat there in silence, simply staring at Carter's lifeless body for a few minutes. Colton, we have a problem. One of the robots seems to have gone against its programming. Its eyes were red and it was twitching uncontrollably, and it shot Carter. He...I couldn't do anything. I'm sorry, Shane sent to Colton. He gave it a moment to sink in, to allow his ally to recognise the truth, and then he reached out to both Colton and Mai simultaneously. I'm speaking to the both of you at the same time. Mai, once again I am sorry, though nothing I ever do will ever wash away the guilt I have. It's going to take all three of us to get out of here, so we need to trust one another and rely on one another if this is to work. Get that door open as soon as you can, and get me out, then I'll take care of the rest. And if we get the chance, I want to put a bullet through Lyle Strain's skull. "Give Colton more powers? He's dangerous enough as is. He already tampered with my gun and nearly blew my arm clean off, and now you want to give him the power to mess with my head? Research or not, I can't agree to that" Lucas stated, telling Isabella and Kye what the cause of the gun backfiring was. However, he did follow Isabella to the lab and took a seat. As she brought the ink over, his curiousity was peaked. What was that for? She explained it quickly and got straight to the point. "The other one could stop people from reading my thoughts, as well as preventing people from manipulating my actions. So long as this tattoo can stop those, I don't care what else it prevents" he responded simply. "As for the design.." he said, voice trailing off as he grabbed a notepad and a pen from his jacket. Lucas got to work drawing a quick, simple design. He didn't care too much what it looked like, but he certainly did not want a butterfly on his butt. Once he'd finished, he passed the piece of paper with the design on it over to Isabella. "That should be simple enough. Once the tattoo is applied, how long will it take to begin to take effect, and what are its limitations? I need to know as much about it as possible" he said, before holding out his arm for Isabella to begin tattooing on. "On an unrelated topic, how are things with Raven Sun, Kye? I can't imagine you're able to simply vanish for a few days from there without somebody beginning to ask questions" the detective asked, initiating conversation to pass the time. Christie nodded in response to Errol. There was no way she was going to sit this out. She wouldn't sit out things normally, always eager to go on missions, but this was far more important to her than any other mission she could remember being on. "I've been training three weeks for this day. They've been stuck in that hellhole too long, I'm going to get them out" the girl said, fiery determination in her voice as she spoke.
As Ra spoke, Gaius showed a toothy grin. He did know what to do. The mission had to be completed, which meant stopping the moon drip, and that meant taking out the moon. Or at least disrupting the drip, but hey whatever worked. "This time, try not landing on someone when you come down huh?" the fire mage asked. He, too, grabbed onto Veilen's shirt. "Ready whenever you are, Charlotte!" Gaius stated excitedly, ready to throw Veilen at the moon. Not to the moon. At. Quinn may have had a fancy transformation, but Gexln didn't need one. He could transform into a beast, but where was the fun in that? "Can't fight me with your own strength Quinn? Gotta turn into a machine? It's not going to change anything" the shadow dragon slayer said. Taking a step back, he attacked again. This time by releasing a mighty burst of magical energy in the form of his Shadow Dragon's Roar.
As Kye entered the area, Shane became aware of a dull frequency. As it began intensifying, his face became the picture of concentration, his mind attempting to block it out. He succeeded for a moment, the sound being more of an annoyance than anything, but eventually it broke through and he found himself writhing in pain just as much as Carter was. Kye left them with a threat and a tip of the hat, and the sound gradually quietened. His breathing heavy and quick due to the pain he had just experienced, he had to concentrate for a moment to even use his telepathic communication with Colton. Today can't work. Lucas is too unstable, he's too... Shane sent, before pausing as he tried to think of the word. Estranged? Messed up? He looked to Carter, as if the boy could give him the answer, and immediately regretted it. The poor kid had suffered so much, it was a miracle he was still alive. Logic dictated they wait for a few days, but would Carter be able to hold up? I'll find a way to make it work. I still think it would be better to wait for a few days, but Isabella made a breakthrough from the sounds of things with her studies. Not only that, but they're putting you through arenas now, so I can only imagine it gets worse from here. You won't be fit to help in a few days, Carter might be even worse than that. Tell Mai I'm sorry, not that it will change anything, but she needs to learn to master those abilities she unconvered quickly. We're going to need them. The moment you get your chance, I need you to unlock that door and get yourself and Mai out, then me and Carter out from here. Be careful, Colton, these people are no ordinary scientists, they won't be caught off guard by our abilities. Shane put a hand on Carter's shoulder as though he were attempting to calm the child, which he supposed he was. "Not sure if you can hear me or not, the ringing might still be affecting you and I can't tell if it is without reading your mind, but you don't need to worry anymore, Carter. One way or another, we're getting you out now. You won't have to suffer any more. Nobody will have to suffer any more" Shane said reassuringly. Lucas stopped the mass sobbing the moment Kye came back. He couldn't stop it completely, but he reduced it to the point that it was merely sniffling. It probably wasn't hard to see that he had been crying hysterically though. He took the donut and coffee, saying a very quiet "Thank you" as he did so, and began consuming them. He'd barely started before Isabella arrived. He simply watched her for a moment, listening as she realized what was wrong. Not surprisingly, she figured it out quickly. However, she hadn't figured out the crucial part, or if she had she hadn't mentioned it. Did she know Lucas had powers? Despite Isabella trying to help him, Lucas wasn't entirely sure he wanted her to know. If she did know, he'd become one of her experiments, course she could always read his mind to find out. Kye he trusted, but even then he was hesitant to let her know. He stood up now. "What happened is your subject is more powerful than either of us realized. I'm not sure how he did it, but Shane overpowered the small chip. Speaking of which, I don't care what it looks like, just so long as its small and concealable, and I would like it to block as many forms of telepathy as you can manage" Lucas explained, following Isabella through and gesturing for Kye to follow. Even now, Lucas' focus was impressive. Despite his emotional state, his mind was still analysing the situation. Why had he done it? Had he done it out of spite? Out of vengeance? To protect Carter? Or was there more to it than that? Christie's heart skipped a beat as she heard the announcement that they were going to rescue Colton and Carter. This was the day she'd been practicing for, the day she had hoped would come quickly. Butterflies in her stomach, she began feeling a little sick. Now that the day had arrived, nerves were messing her up horribly. If she failed this time, she wouldn't get another chance. If they failed, Colton and Carter would be lost to them. There was no other option, she wasn't going to let them fail. "Tell me what to do, and I'll make sure it gets done" was all she said. Without knowing the plan, she couldn't really comment on much else.
"Way to be friendly, Karina. This is....Goofy? If I heard right. They," Glen said, gesturing to Stratos and Beuce, "seem to know him from another world. Camelot...so, when I went to Corona, and you to Beast's Castle, I think. And we were about to go and get ice cream since there isn't anything else to do" Glen explained. He paused after that, about to regret what he was going to ask. He might have seen a new side to Karina in their last world, but there was no denying she seemed like her regular self then. "You wanna come with?" he asked.
The fight was tough, that much was certain. Had Dane rested, he would have been able to take on the two heartless without a problem, but as it was he was struggling. And yet he wasn't going to give up. As he leapt up, the Dustflier flipped upside down in the air, slapping Dane away with its tail as the shadow reaper slammed into the ground, tasting dirt. He spat it out and got up quickly. "HA! That's the best you can do?" he taunted in between deep breaths. His body began glowing with a purple aura as his eyes became filled with the same colour, indicating his use of darkness. This creature had lived for too long. He looked to his side and grabbed his scythe, before he created a dark corridor. He took a running dive into the dark corridor, and appeared out of the other end above the Dustflier. With a roar, the shadow reaper flew straight into the Dustflier, his body acting as a human missile. The moment he collided with the heartless, both battlers fell out of the sky and crashed into the ground, causing a huge dustcloud to emerge. Gritting his teeth, Dane pushed himself up. "This is the end for you" he said, his voice low and serious; a rarity for Dane. He tapped deep into his energy reserves, and began dashing around the grounded Dustflier as it thrashed around trying to get up. As he was dashing, Dane created several huge, purple orbs. Once he had created all of them, he leaped up into the sky. The Dark Mega Flares simultaneously converged on the enemy, inflicting tremendous damage. Raising his scythe high above his head, Dane prepared to deliver the finishing blow. He rocketed towards the Dustflier again, but just as he was about to finish the fight, he saw a sight he hadn't expected. He saw Maddie, yelling out and calling to him, just as she had when they were children. He lost focus for just a moment, and by the time he regained it he'd missed his opportunity. He slammed into the creature uselessly, simply bouncing off of it and rolling onto the ground. The Dustflier took advantage of this and pinned him down with its talons, before breathing fire all over Dane. He cried out in pain, and the heartless then grabbed him with his talons and tossed him away, causing the scythe-wielder to slam into the mouth of a cave, far away from the battle. Dane looked up, groaning as he tried to see where Maddie had gone. But he couldn't see her. It had simply been a hallucination from the fatigue, something he had wanted to see so badly he had been sure it was there. "Alissia! Finish it!" he managed to shout out, before he laid down on the ground, simply too tired to continue.
"I am the aforementioned Hunter, wielder of awesome. Think of the most awesome, amazing thing you've ever seen, now triple it...no, quadruple it and you've got me. Ginger, don't make it sound like you didn't want to bang me, I used my power to get you into the cave, but we both know that you wanted it more than I did, and that's saying something. Now, enough of this useless conversation, filler is boring. We need to leave and get our asses back to the castle so we can plot. I know the rules say to go and defeat a boss and move on, but" Hunter said, before putting his hand against a random rock, using his power of Chrysopoeia to turn it into gold. He could've sworn there was a white dragon flying around somewhere, and was that a cape he now had? And why did he feel more up himself than usual? "Screw the rules, I have money" he boomed, his voice echoing with power. Caleb stopped. By Sapphire he was stupid, why had he been looking for the hero on a ship? "The legend directed us to this ship, so I was under the assumption it would take us to our destination, however I appear to be wrong. So, let's go back to the castle. I can't see us getting anywhere standing around here, we're just wasting time" Caleb said, his voice relatively neutral. "The hero might be able to help you, he might not be. There's no way of saying for certain. What we can guarantee though, is that if anyone aside from the goddess is capable of saving your people, it's him" he added, before opening a dark corridor that lead back to disney castle.
"Yeah, the guy's a raving lunatic. Kept thinking he could release Deliora and be fine, which was bad enough, but then he thought he could take us? Stupidity at its finest" Gaius said, cracking his knuckles as he got up and explained things to Caliborn. The fight had been hard-fought, but Gaius had never lost confidence once, and it showed. In fact, Gaius was so happy with how things had turned out that he wouldn't mind if they didn't get a reward. Sure, he wanted one, but the look on Boreal's frozen, defeated face was reward enough.
Zane had to refrain from laughing as Serenity got free from Alec. He had had to pull back his punch to avoid hurting her, but apparently she hadn't needed as much help as Zane had thought she had. "Don't worry about it, nobody should be treated like that. Nice to finally know your name though, Serenity" the boy responded. He decided that it was the best idea to go and introduce himself to the new guy. He'd only taken a step before Alec started yelling again, and threatening him. "Listen, if you were going to do it then you would've done it and not warned me, now pipe down and stop being a prick, if that's possible for you anyway, I already said you could stay. Besides, it's not my call, it's his" Zane replied, jerking a thumb in the direction of Jay. "Go get the okay from him" he added. Or he could go talk to Lilith, which is exactly what the guy did. Doesn't even listen when he's in a conversation, what a dick. "Tempting, but no way. I called dibs on her three, no...four days ago. Moment I saw her in the coffee shop, actually. She was serving a customer and she bent over, and that was that. Decision made. She isn't the only one either, I've got a whole collection. C'mon, I'll show you" Lilith replied to Alec. She walked over to a window and began pointing at a heap of people walking home. "Her, her, him, her, her, him, him again, and oh! That one's my favourite so far. She's not much to look at, but damn she cray in the bed, and the crazy ones are always the best, wouldn't you agree?" Lilith asked. As she pointed to each person, there was a casual response of either 'done her', 'not gay', or even 'fought him for his girlfriend. And won, and apparently i'm far better in bed than he is'. This Alec guy was a dick, but he had good taste in women. The same taste as her, apparently. "I like your taste in women, high five!" she exclaimed before high fiving Alec. o/ However, their taste wasn't exactly the same. He wasn't drooling all over her, didn't even seem interested in her. That was weird. Lilith herself often looked in the mirror, wondering what she looked like naked. Then she actually got naked and stopped wondering, but damn she liked what she saw. The fact she was modest was an attractive feature too. Yeah, she was the best woman in the world, no contest. Realizing she was daydreaming, she turned to look at Alec once more. "So, what's the first thing you'll do when we find the peoples?" she questioned.
Tobias chuckled a little bit as Cynthia yelled out at him. For a moment, he considered continuing on, making the music louder even, just to annoy her. As he thought about it more, he realized how bad of an idea it was. He didn't know if Raven Sun was going to allow him to live or not, but one way or another he figured he could no longer count himself as part of it. That was fine with him, but if he really was on the outside then Cynthia was the only person he considered to be an ally, and he wasn't sure if he was willing to lose that just yet. "Sure thing, Cynth, but when you get bored to death don't come complaining to me!" he called back, before relaxing and pulling the hood over his face, reducing his eyesight and doing his best to go to sleep until someone came to get him. I see, Shane sent to Colton, Carter's lucky to have someone looking out for him. I don't need to be a telepath to see the kid's lonely. As for the gun, sounds like it would've been fun to see. I'd imagine he would have to be fairly pissed off about that, maybe I can use that to my advantage. If I can find a way to mess with his head, then he might be our ticket out of here, I'll just have to- the boy started as he saw Lucas approaching their cell. Give me five minutes. I'll see if I can't turn things to our advantage. He forced a grin as Lucas approached the cell. The investigator's eyes were on Carter, but that would soon change. "Good morning, detective. I heard about your arm, terrible tragedy. Are you here to take us to our tests today?" Shane asked. Lucas barely reacted when Shane mentioned the arm and asked if he was taking him to his tests. The investigator shook his head, but turned to look at Shane."I'm not aware of any tests. I'm here to ask Carter a couple of questions. It won't take long. It's to do with my arm"he said simply, telling the truth but not completely. He noticed Shane had a look of curiousity on his face."Something on your mind, Ware?" he questioned. "Why is it that when I read your mind all I hear are groceries, or information about the local football teams, or the latest gossip about television? There's never anything relevant to the situation. Even if you do think about those things, surely a man such as yourself thinks about what he should or should not be doing at that time" "I've trained to prepare for confrontations with telepathists for years, did that ever occur to you?" Lucas asked, keeping his voice calm and collected. "Admittedly, yes, it did. Buuut after that, I thought about it a little more, and I can't remember anyone else being like that unless they had powers like me. Either it was just silence or I could hear everything. So, detective, either you're less intelligent than you seem, or you have some kind of aid. Secret training perhaps? Maybe you have powers yourself? Some mechanical device?" Lucas froze. He knew. He wasn't sure how, but this kid had figured out that he had a chip in his brain. Either that, or the kid was bluffing, but if he was bluffing then he was damn close to guessing the truth. "Like I said, I've trained" he said. A chill went down his spine as he saw the grin widen on Shane's face. "What are you hiding, Lucas?" Shane asked. Though Lucas was very, very good at hiding his emotions, Shane had seen the momentary flash of worry in his eyes at the mention of the mechanical device. And as Shane knew, machines could be overworked. No sooner had Shane asked his question than he began pushing into Lucas' mind. He knew the thoughts weren't his own, and he was going to prove it. His face tightened into a look of concentration, his eyes narrowing and a slight frown appearing on his face. "Just what are you doing?"Lucas asked, but he got no response. The boy was concentrating, but on what? Too late, he realized what was happening. Shane was trying to bypass the machine. The second the realization hit, Lucas could feel his mind working in overdrive, the little machine struggling to repel the force of the telepathic assault. Who was this kid, and why were his powers so damn strong?! Shane continued pushing, trying to overpower the machine. He could feel it struggling, he could see the worry on Lucas' face. Lucas knew what was happening, he was sure of it, and Shane probably would have laughed at Lucas' attempt to grab his gun out; but his gun was destroyed, gone, and Lucas was defenceless, but Shane couldn't laugh due to concentrating so hard. Just a little more, a tiny bit more and it would be... Lucas screamed. His head was pounding like never before, everything was dizzy for him, and his vision was blurry. But that wasn't the worst of it. No, the worst of it was he knew that Shane had done it. He had over worked the machine and fried it, and then he had entered Lucas' mind. Lucas wanted to turn, to leave the room and run for help, but he couldn't. Against his will, his body was choosing to stay there and not act any differently. This was Shane's doing, he was sure of it. "Carter, this man has been keeping you from your mother for too long. I'm going to find out what makes him tick, and I'm going to get us out. Now, detective, lets find out what you were so desperately hiding from me" he said with a low chuckle. Lucas started sweating, his mind now open and vulnerable as he felt a feeling he hadn't experienced since he was a child; fear. True, unparalleled fear. He was at the mercy of one of them, of one of the- "Keep in mind I can hear what you think, Lucas Beaumont. Call me a freak, and I'll fry your brain just like I did that little chip that no longer works" Damn him, damn him! He knew! And soon he'd know about- "Ouch. First time riding a bike and you failed, second time you rode straight into a tree. Not very good are we?" He already had access to memories that early?! There was a pause as Shane momentarily stopped reading his mind. He'd just seen the night Lucas' parents were murdered, in every explicit detail. It was quite horrific. But... "You know, my powers don't just let me see the memories you have. It also lets me see those that you don't; repressed memories. Or, in this case, repressed details. You think you remember how it happened? You're wrong, let me show you how it really was" Shane stated, removing the wall that had prevented Lucas from remembering. Lucas saw the scene again. His father cut down before him, his mother being raped in front of him, and him being held against the wall by The Smiling Butcher's unseen force. Except it wasn't the telekinesis of that criminal. His mother, while being violated in that way, was screaming at him to look away, not to watch, and was holding him there against the wall, unable to do anything. His mother knew him well enough to know that should he be able to move he'd go straight for the criminal; retreating wasn't an option, but it was her that had kept him there. More importantly, she was one of them. She had powers, why hadn't she told him? Did his father know? How could she have kept something like that from him?! All his life he had hated those with powers, and now he found out that his own mother had been one?! "Get out of my head!" Lucas shouted furiously, before Shane finally released his grip on him. Lucas stumbled backwards into a desk. He couldn't think of anything other than escape, and that was exactly what he did. Faster than he had ever run before, Lucas completely lost his focus and ran back to his cell and slammed the door shut, where he broke down into a sobbing mess. The edges of Shane's lips curled into a smile. He turned to look at Carter. "Carter, before I say anything, I'm going to make you a promise; I promise never to use that on you, so no need to fear me, okay? What I just did, I showed him a memory he wanted to forget. But in doing so, I showed him how powerful I can be, and now he's scared. A scared man makes mistakes, especially when I can manipulate him into doing things. In other words, Carter, I just got us out of here" Shane said to his cellmate, before sending a telepathic message to Colton. Sorry, I think I was about one minute longer than expected. The gun exploding on Lucas is far out of his concern right now, I just broke him, Colton. Right now, he's more terrified than he has ever been, but more importantly I found a way to get past the device stopping my powers working on him. Now, I can manipulate him, and now we can begin planning our escape. I would say we wait a few days, try to recover our strength, and then I'll use the detective and get us home.

Zane stepped forward, standing as tall as he was able. He had seen this kind of thing happen with Skadi before she vanished. He figured it was because of the fact the quiet ones that kept to themselves seemed to be the least likely to say anything about it, and *******s like that took advantage of it. But if he had been searching...then maybe he could help find Skadi. Zane would tolerate him helping, but what he was doing with Serenity was another thing altogether. Zane had fought back abusive boyfriends for his sister and creepy guys that hit on her, and now he was going to do the same for Serenity. "Alright, you can help. You're right, we could use the information, but what you're doing to her is not going to be tolerated. We can sort things out without getting to violence, just let go of her and we can move on" Zane Wynter spoke. However, he realized how futile it was. Turning his head to look at Ace, he sighed. "He's not going to listen, is he?" he asked. The little bird put its wing over his head and shook his head without so much of a chirp. "I didn't think so" the boy said. Without another word, he turned on his heels and slugged a punch straight towards Alec's face. No sooner than Zane had thrown the punch than another individual walked through the doors. This individual was Lilith, one of the many troublemakers of the school. She also had a reputation as a thief. Word on the street was if something wasn't nailed down, Lilith probably had it, so why was she there? "Heyo, I'm here to help the people find their loved ones, reunite destroyed families, and collect that reward money!" she called out, answering the question as soon as it was answered. Lazily she sauntered over to one of the desks and sat down. "Hey, it's that cutie from the coffee shop. Hey Serenity, I've been thinking about you all day. Actually, not you you, the you in my dreams, you know; the one with less clothing on. Eh, we can discuss this when you're not being used as a hostage" the girl said as she saw Zane pull the punch so as not to hurt Serenity. OOC: If Lilith isn't accepted I can easily edit this out, just let me know if this is the case.
"Thanks!" Mark said as he snatched the key and stabbed it into the lock. Sure enough, the lock opened, but before Mark could see what was inside he faintly heard someone mention his name. He looked between the box and the one who had said his name several times, before curiousity once again took hold. "Here, hold this!" Mark ordered, handing the box to Camilla and racing over to Beuce. "My name's Mark Furgot, what's up? I heard my name, what do you need me for?" he asked, before looking down at the card that Leo was holding. "Oh, must be for me" he stated, reading over the shoulder of Leo. Slowly but surely, the grin faded from Mark's face as the seriousness of the situation finally set in. Took long enough. "Unless my memory is worse than it seems, no I am not George Froio. My name is Jacob Watzisfayse, and before you ask...yes it is my actual last name. This card is not mine, and I would guess it is not yours, either. Maybe we should search for George, surely he's one of the people here, it can't be too hard to find him" Jacob suggested, before turning and walking towards Nikola. He didn't ask for a name from Rajesh, mainly because he didn't care. Jacob wanted to get out of that place and away from the others as fast as possible, and engaging in conversations with people was not the way to do it.
Zane frowned as Alec entered the room. He didn't like this guy already. He was almost as bad as the school's janitor. That damn janitor, his name was Stefano, and damn was he creepy; always making rude jokes and obscene gestures, in fact Zane wouldn't be surprised to find that guy in jail one day after getting too friendly with one of the students. But this guy...damn, the guy had been in the room for not even five minutes and Zane already wanted to punch him in the face. "Don't worry Serenity, you can ignore this guy. He's just flexing his ego to compensate for his lack of a penis, plenty of guys 'round here seem to do that" he insulted, not taking his eyes off of Alec for a moment. "We're looking at cases of people that have gone missing. I think you're at the wrong place though, might want to try the room three doors down, I hear the football team needs a few more meatheads for their collection" Zane added, unable to resist as he cracked a grin.
Drearily, Tobias opened an eye. His entire body ached, why was that? It didn't take him long to remember the events of the day before. He remembered getting pulled off of the mission, then going to try to get Cynthia out. He'd tried to get one person out of a cell, and had only ended up getting himself in one. The boy shifted his body so that he was leaning against the cold, hard wall, facing the cell door that kept him seperated from the rest of Raven Sun. He didn't have his claws, or his throwing knives, or any weapons at all for that matter. It was to be expected though, despite Tobias' opinion of most of the members he knew they weren't stupid. With a loud sigh, he reached into one of the pockets of his jacket and pulled out a harmonica. The instrument was one of few things Tobias had from his childhood, and he knew how to play it reasonably well. Taking a deep breath, he began to play, filling the area around with music to pass the time. Christie rushed towards Errol's office. She'd hurried back from the hospital the day before, and it hadn't taken her all that long to get back, but by the time she had arrived it was getting reasonably late and though she wanted to discuss things as soon as possible there wasn't much point arriving to the end of a meeting, so she had simply gone back to her room. She had made sure to set an alarm for 7:30 though, and the moment she woke up she got out of bed and got ready in about five minutes, a new record for her. She'd then began heading towards Errol's Office, following the instructions she'd been given. She walked up to the door and raised her hand, before knocking on the door three times. Lucas sat in one of the empty cells, having slept on one of the beds there again. After Lyle's robot had helped fix his hand and bandaged it, he had made his way there and gone to sleep. He'd woken up quite early though, his mind already at work. The events of the day before had been playing on his mind constantly. Not just the gun exploding, not just what Colton had said, but the moving of the robot. He had moved it, he was sure of it. He was one of them, one of those with powers, and that was a truly terrible thing. He couldn't panic though, and he couldn't freak out. Most people there wouldn't have been able to see it, to them it would have looked like the hit connected. The only ones that could have seen it were Carter and Colton. His eyes narrowed as he thought of Colton. He'd have more than a stern word with that kid, he'd make him regret ever tampering with his equipment. But first he had to cover his tracks, he had to find out exactly how much Carter knew, then he would deal with Colton. Heaving himself to his feet, Lucas got up and began dragging his feet to Carter's cell. Shane woke up with a start. The images he had seen and created inside Mai's head had been haunting his nightmares throughout the rest of the evening. He'd woken up at least six times, though he hadn't been counting. It had taken him a long time to get to sleep, and in that time he had seen Carter come back with a weary Colton. He had also heard what had been said, and that had raised his curiousity. The boy had held off until then though, deciding that to bother Colton while he was tired and exhausted like that would be a bad idea. Colton, wake up. I need to discuss something with you, something I think you'll want to hear. First off, I would like to know what happened with the gun and why Carter would have to deny knowing anything about it. If you tell me that, then I'll tell you something I'm sure you will find very interesting; I know how to get out of this place, Shane sent to Colton. There was no need to beat around the bush, he had to cut right to the chase, and after seeing what Colton had been through at that place he had no doubt he wanted to escape just as badly as he himself did.

As the gun exploded in Lucas' hand, he felt an unbelievable amount of pain. Overcoming the initial shock, he looked at his hand; it was very, very badly messed up. He wasn't sure if he would ever be able to use it again, though he hoped that he could. Thankfully, he was ambidextrous, so he was just as good with his left hand, but it would put him at a serious disadvantage. How had it managed to explode though? He checked his equipment daily, making sure that it- Colton He had no proof, but he was sure that the boy had done something to it. That was a big mistake. However, he had to worry about the test now, hand or no hand. He coughed a little as the gas bomb was dropped on them, and immediately he saw another robot approach them, holding another bomb as it went towards them. Lucas went to stab it with his dagger, but in the explosion he realized he'd dropped it. Instead, he reached out and simply shot his arm towards the robot, pushing it far away. His eyes widened in shock, however. His hand had been only millimetres away from the robot, so he wasn't sure if anyone else had noticed, but he hadn't actually touched the robot. He'd used telekinesis. How was that possible? A thousand questions began appearing in Lucas' mind, but he couldn't show his confusion. If other people knew he had telekinesis, he was a dead man walking. Instead, he nodded to Colton. "If you let me die, you'll be just like the rest of you, you'll prove I was right about most of your kind being notihng but murderers. You want to talk about what was taken from people? I saw my parents raped and murdered in front of me by your kind, their remains scattered in a smiling face. How's that?" he retorted, before making his way to the building Colton had mentioned. Shane followed Isabella quietly, pushing the IV and the heart monitor. He was tired, but he wasn't going to tell her that. In fact, he did his best not to show it. He didn't want her thinking he was some weak subject that was going to be useless. However, that train of thought came to a halt quickly as she mentioned only needing Shane. That worried him. What was she planning to do to him? What was she planning to do with him? He waited until they got back to Shane's cell, and then he wandered inside and looked back at Isabella. Despite him feeling terrified, he managed to fake a grin. "See you tomorrow, second date's always more fun than the first" he lied, having to practically force himself to say the words. He then layed down on his bed and tried to get as much sleep as possible.
Dane felt the impact quite hard as the darkside hit him with its hand. He went flying through the air and slammed into the ground, a cloud of dust appearing around him as he skidded to a stop just a metre away from Alisia. He got up quickly though, and glanced at his friend. "Not almost enough" was what he said as he flashed a cocky grin. He dashed straight past Alisia and climbed up the darkside's arm. He got halfway up when the huge hand came for him, as though the darkside was trying to swat an annoying bug. He held up his scythe as it came and simply blocked the attack. The force behind the arm was tremendous, but Dane held strong and didn't flinch in the slightest. With a surge of strength, Dane shoved the arm back, knocking the darkside off balance and causing it to fall over backwards, with Dane falling off of the arm. This was his chance. Racing up one final time, he practically jumped up the arm of their foe. As he reached the end of the arm, he approached the neck of the darkside. Raising his scythe high above his shoulder. He began focusing a large portion of his magic into the blade, causing it to glow a dark purple aura and the blade to actually widen in length, seeming to feed off of the dark energy. Dane then swung the scythe with an awe-inspiring amount of power, releasing a wave of energy from his scythe which launched straight into the darkside's neck, cutting the creature's head clean off and causing it and the entire body to turn into black vapour. With the darkside defeated, Dane landed casually on the ground, panting and showing clear signs of fatigue. That should have been it, he should have cut the training there, but he couldn't. That heartless wasn't the only one to attack Charter's Rise, and he knew it. There was one more. "Change of plans. The other one's dying, too" he said, his voice serious and low as he repeated the summoning process. This time, rather than a darkside, a more aerial enemy appeared before them. It was a Dustflier, the strongest of the wyvern heartless species. "Once this is dead, there will only be one murderer left, only one thing to kill. But first, that one murderer is going to kill this thing and do what should have been done years ago" Dane said with a growl. He was expending far too much energy, and he was beginning to tire, but he couldn't stop until the Dustflier was gone; until he had at least fixed that one mistake. With a loud battle cry, Dane charged forward, scythe in hand and fury evident in his eyes.
Annoyed at how everything was going, Jacob hobbled over to the small group of people by the bird and grabbed the bread crumbs. Holding them in the palm of his hand, he gave them to the small bird, finally feeding it. "You youngsters and your indecisiveness will be the second death of me. Just feed the gosh darn bird. This is ridiculous, I gi" he started, before remembering the rule, "I have no idea how I'm going to tolerate this" he stated. Looking around, he saw one of the others sitting on their lonesome, not saying a word to anyone. Perhaps he would be better company than the others. He made his way over to Rajesh and sat down near him. "These darn kids and their birds are just too damn noisy" he complained. So, Mark hadn't found a card or anything for himself, instead he had only the box in his hands. He had opened it, only to find the grand treasure of another box inside, and this one was locked so he couldn't find out what was inside. "Gaaaaaaah" he exclaimed as he tried to pry it open with his hands. However, it didn't work. Defeated, Mark put the box down once more and sat down. He didn't need to see what was in that box, it probably wasn't even for him. So it didn't even matter what was in it. He could totally go without seeing inside of it. Present probably sucked anyway. Moments had passed and already Mark found himself at the box again, desperately trying to open the box. He had to know what was inside. "Somebody gimme a hand opening this thing!" he called out, still grunting and doing his best to open the box. It wasn't working very well in the slightest.
Lucas relaxed a little bit as Lyle gave him permission to enter the arena. He wasted no time, entering the arena and making his way over to Colton and Carter. "Just to be clear, I'm here to protect Carter, not you" he said to Colton. "However, I do need the two of you alive, ideally in good health. So, for the moment, consider me your ally" Lucas informed. He swiped at one of the robots as it neared them with the dagger, knocking it back but at the same time getting hit by a blue bomb, causing a chill to go down his spine. He shivered a little bit, realizing that perhaps using a dagger wasn't the best idea. No, he needed range to fight these things. Thankfully, he had brought his gun with him. Pulling it out, his gut feeling was that this was a bad idea, but the logical side of him told him there was no reason not to use it. So pulling the gun out, he aimed it at the nearest robot and fired. And that was where everything went wrong.
