Jericho: Mentions: Dread

Jericho listened quietly to Dread talk about what he was planning on doing, and after he finished Jericho simply nodded. "I understand. Just... be careful okay?" He told him, before watching everyone leave and knowing it was time for them to go as well. "I'm ready whenever you are." He told Dread, adjusting his armor one last time and taking the time to clear his head and focus on the task at hand: getting his girlfriend back and destroying Ibex... once again. He might have been scared to death that Ibex could have caused irreperable harm, but he just wanted her back in his arms; the rest he could deal with later.

Ko, Dread, and Leonas

"Alright. I'll leave the heavy carrying to you." He creates a circular rainbow beneath their feet. Ko turns to face Sky, tapping the surface of his rainbow creation. The thing starts to float, Ko turning to face her. "Don't worry about falling off. The water may be small, but it's strong enough to hold a person down by their feet. I use light to fuel it." He turns to the sky, watching Dread and Jericho fly away. Waiting for Sky to climb on as well, shoving his hands into his pockets. "Do you know Shi pretty well?" He ask shyly, with a faint blush on his cheeks. "Do you know what she likes?"

Dread snorts, "I won't be left unharmed during the fight. Careful is something that won't be familiar to me." He glares down at the bird him and Jericho were riding on. Shoving his hands into his pockets, pulling out a chained necklace putting it around his neck. Dread turns to face Jericho, "Yeah. Let's go." The bird starts to deform itself beneath the two men, then darkness swallows them up. Next thing you know it, the two arrive in a dark corner inside the facility. "Let's hurry up and grab her then go." His eyes glows, creating small shadow creatures that start to crawl along the wall.

Leonas hears someone approach him, a sigh leaving him as he already knows who it is. "Can't you wait at the car?" Getting a bit snippy with the woman and shakes his head. "I don't need to babysit anyone right now." He heals Jac's wounds, grumbling a few words under his breathe. Without saying another word, he walks over to the facility to get ready to enter. Changing his appearance to that of Sephtis.

Jericho: Mentions: Dread and Ibex

Jericho was a tad startled by the fact that they had just teleported to the facility, but it was helpful nonetheless. He looked at the facility before finding a metal grate. Crunching the metal in his hands and effortlessly molding it into his armor, he looked down and noticed that it was a large air duct: big enough for them to crawl through, but they would have to crouch. "We can either take this grate and move around slowly but without risking an encounter with Ibex guards... or we can go through the front door and figure it out from there... once the distraction starts, of course." He said to Dread, waiting on his word to see what he wanted to do in regards to their attack.

Ko

Ko blushes harder at her question, and he gulps nervously. His eyes seeming to glow brighter than before, "I think I do. I don't really know much of this so-called love, but looking at her brings me strange sense of warmth in my heart." He raises the platform, then turns to face her, a soft smile on his face, but it was one out of nervousness. "Why is she called Ice Queen? Do you know why?" He asked her, those leaving his mouth cautiously, and he fiddles with his fingers. "Is she really that bad on what others say? Yeah, she does snap at me here and there, but other than that, she's mainly neutral with my presence." His entire face flushed when he remembered what he said to her beforehand, and his fingers nervously rake through his hair. "Crap! I said that I'll do anything if it means to keep her safe before training and I-I," he looks down at his hands that begin to quiver. "I touched her shoulder and wink at her! What if she thinks that I'm some sort of creep!?!" Facepalming himself quite hard, a groan leaving the man.

"Can you not tell Shi about this? Or anyone else for that matter? I would surely die of embarrassment." He speaks to himself in Japanese, then puffs out his chest. "I wouldn't mind lagging behind if it means to get whatever guards attention while you advance towards Malakai. Don't worry, I can handle myself well." Giving her a bright smile that seems to match the brightness of the rainbow. As they got near the facility, he lowers the rainbow down to ground and climbs off. Going over to chain-link fence surrounding the facility. "Alright. Time to break this open." He touches the ground, vines springing out from the ground, and wraps themselves around the fence. The veins pulled, causing the fence to break and create a entryway. He turns to face Sky, giving a nod before squeezing through.

Dread

Dread examines Jericho for a bit, trying to come up with a plan inside his head, and he orders one of his small creatures towards the other man here. "The creature will help you navigate through the vents and to the cell Ero's in once the other creatures on the surface locate it." He glances around, giving himself an affirmative nod of his head then focuses back to Jericho. "I'll leave one of my creatures here to guard the vent in case someone tries to follow you in. I'll go through the other way and lure any Ibex guards towards me. Granting you and Ero a safe passage out of the facility." His main curiosity shifted on what sort of distraction Zaphara was planning, and his question as been answered when an explosion was heard close to the facility. "That's our cue. Good luck, I guess." He says before dashing off, cloaking himself in shadows.

Zaphara and Opresa

What sort of distraction you might be wondering about? Well, it involves an explosion. A massive one that would lure in anyone's attention. Creating a small bomb is child's play, but a massive one put it a lot of energy. Zaphara was waiting patiently, grinning as she sees a family face walking over. Opresa wasn't pleased, more like annoyed by what's going on. "Want to do me a small, itty-bitty favor?" She pats the big bomb a couple of times, then gestures to the Ibex facility. "Can you toss this bad boy in that direction to get it out of our way?" Opresa sighs, pinching the bridge of her nose before wrapping the bomb up with chains.

"I should just drop it on you." "And risk killing us both? How rude!" Opresa didn't argue with her there, instead she tosses the bomb in the direction of the Ibex facility, and after a couple of seconds, a large explosion was heard. As well a smoke cloud in the distance. "Thank you very much! Now here's our little trade deal!" Zaphara reaches into her jacket then pulls out a folded paper. Opresa grabs it then shoves it into the pocket of her jeans.

Zaphara winks, waving a goodbye to Opresa before walking towards the now ruined facility. Opresa was reluctant to join, but slowly followed after Zaphara. Realizing her newfound battle companion, Zaphara grins with joy, then walks through the now ruined fence. Ibex soldiers and soldiers were scattered everywhere, panicked at the random attack that just happen. "Oh my! Guess someone was pissed off at you guys!" Creating a sword and pistol in her hand, Opresa and her chains ready to fight. Realizing what they were, alarms started blaring and the soldiers charged at the two women. Guess the fun has started with a bang.

Jericho: Mentions: Dread and Ero

Jericho flinched when the explosion went off away from where he and Dread were before watchinng Dread run off to get things started in earnest and take all of the heat away from him. "Good luck." He casually said to Dread as he went into the vent system, following the small creature throughout the vents on the way to Ero, and all along the way he felt nerves begin to build up within his system. He could see Ero in his arms once again, but he had to get there first and get her out before he could dream about it. After crawling through the vents for a minute or so, Jericho looked out one of the grates to a random hallway, and sure enough a sect of Ibex soldiers were preparing for battle. Looks like they were properly rattled by the sudden explosion. Good... I'll have the element of surprise for when I find my way to Ero. Without hesitation he continued moving through the vents following the little creature that Dread gave him to a T.
