Tomas nodded in understanding. "And yet they gave me a whole suit of armor, it's the way they work. Give you enough rope so you can hang yourself with it." Tomas sighed and pressed a key on the weapons cache and the face slid close again and locked. "Either way i'm going to have to haul this thing which is not a challenge with this armor." Tomas flexed his hands slightly. "But either way, i don't know the way to this temple of yours so, take the lead."

Tomas picked up the container of weapons and ammo now securely locked and turned it's back towards him. He tugged on what looked like seat belts looped into a form of strap. He brought a large portion of the loop out and slid each arm into a strap and hefted the container onto his back. He stepped out of the cave with the heavy equipment and waited for Vivian to show the way.

"Alright. Since we are at the Outskirts, we aren't too far from the temple..." She said pointing east. "Follow me. We should be there in about 10 minutes or so" She said. Vivian never thought that she had to return to the Wind Temple so soon. Now that she no longer hunts Magnus down, she feels a little worried about her father.

[Heads to Wind Temple]

OOC: Sorry for posting so late. Been busy lately and studying for Mid-Term Exams...

[CaptainRasmot]

OOC: it's kay

Tomas took a deep breath and gently tugged on the straps of the equipment pack and followed Vivian to the temple. He really didn't know how things would bode, but at the very least he'd have a place to rest and he'd know his gear was safe. If anything, some of it might give the people in the temple a fighting chance. Including all the grenades.

Price kept struggling. The darkness was rising...

He yelped. "Uncle!" He realized he was on the side of an old creek. They must've dumped his body. How half-assed. He coughed, the wound in his stomach was aching and searing badly. He couldn't move..

He looked to the left, he still had his plasma-blade. Stephens couldn't remove it. Heh..

He then passed out again. He just lost everything but his hidden blade. And he knew what to do... But for now, rest. Just a long... rest.............

[Arriving from Main Street]

Hajime arrived near the outskirts of the city, using his rocket booster attachments to speed him up until he reached the last roof of the area.

Now closer to the area, the faint spirit seemed to be more easy to locate. He unbuttons the collar on his coat and pulls it down before pulling out a vermillion medallion with the carving of Suzaku in the center, and sticking it on his chest, causing his Vermillion robe to form around his Blazkrieg uniform. He wants to avoid being seen as a threat since he doesn't know what kind of human he was about to help.

Dropping down to ground level, he begins to saunter around the ourskirts, using his spirit reading to detect how close he is to the weakened human. He eventually comes across a creek were a body laid seemingly drenched in more blood than water. The sight itself was enough to make him shudder in fright, but he quickly suppresses it as he moves closer to the body and lifts it up slightly to check for any physical damages.

Price...






You idiot! Wake up!

Zitto, asino! Price responded to that voice in his head. He rose his head to mayhem. He was... in Abel City. It appeared a massive operation was happening. But the pain from his wound was too much! He clutched it, and cringed.

"Is anybody... anyone there?"

[White-Jet]

Hajime compresses his lips sa he lays Price on his back to get a good look at him. His hood is up, obscuring everything but his lower face in shadow.

He should be taking this man to the hospital, but with the swarm growing in numbers, there was no telling which hospital would be farthest enough to avoid getting sucked into the conflict.

He grips the pieces of PRice's ripped shirt and teras it further apart, revealing more of the wound in his gut. He then places his hands on the wound and begins massaging it in and out as the palms of his hand glowed a warm, tranquil light, dulling the pain while an invigorating sense of energy flows through his veins.

The gashes in the wound began to shrink the more he squeezed at them until all that remained is a scar; the pain had all but numbed away completely.

[Vérité]

Price's senses came back as the magical power healed his wound. He sat upright once it was done. "Who are you?" He asked. "What did you just do to heal my wound?"

In the distance he could hear the cries of nightmarish creatures. He still had his wrist-blade.

[White-Jet]

Hajime looks towards the inhumane scream before looking back over to Price.

"The introductions'll have to wait," he said, "This city is infested with Godzilla-size creatures. You need to get somewhere safe before their increasing numbers reach the borders of this city."

[Vérité]

"Very well.." Price stood up. Damn, he felt a lot better! "Where need we go?"

[White-Jet]

"Good question," Hajime mutters as he tries to think of someplace far from Abel City that isn't a journey away; even though Price is no longer in danger of blood-loss, he may still be in no condition to be walking more than a mile. They could go to Hunter Base, but considering the amount of activity on Main Street alone, it was likely they wouldn't let humans past the front desk.

[Vérité]

"Perhaps we can help combat this!" He said arrogantly. "My blade arm is still strong, and my job is to serve the people.."

Just because Stephens has broken his oath does not mean that Price needs to.

[White-Jet]

Hajime furrows his eyebrows at the determination in Price's spirit, seeming to be more intent to prove something than worry about what he might cause if he fought his way towards the Hunters fighting off the heart of the swarm.

"I don't think that's such a good idea," Hajime mutters, "You were stabbed pretty good. Even with Vermillion's tranquil healing, you still need at least a couple more hours before you're back to full energy. And besides, we might give the Hunters grief if they saw two humans fighting off the swarm."

[Vérité]

"The Hunters..." Price repeated. "I'm in Abel City? And it managed to become infested with a swarm of creatures?" Price swallowed in the thought. If the Hunters were for once pre-occupied, it was trouble. He had no idea how he ended up here, though.

"So you have no place we can evacuate to? No place where the civilians might be? They may be in danger, even in shelter."

He did feel slightly tired, though. He was right. So he let the idea drop. They had to at least get somewhere safe. And let him collect his thoughts.

[White-Jet]

Hajime grits his teeth as he tries to figure out someway of getting Price to safety. Chances were most of the humans who couldn't escape the city in time were taking refuge in the underground sewage systems. With Magnus preparing to unleash his full potentials, it seemed vital to get underground as quickly as possible to avoid getting hit by the radius of the blast.

He walks over to a nearby manhole and used two of his wires to twist and pull the lid off.

"We'll have to make do here until the situation's under control," he said, "We better hurry, though. One of the Hunter's is about to unleash a giga crush that might raise the temperature beyond normal human tolerance if the flames don't reach us first."

"Then, by all means, Dobbiamo sbrigarci." Price allowed him to go first. Then he lowered himself, and dropped into the sewers. Nasty place..

[White-Jet]

Hajime drops down shortly afterwards, keeping the wires cling to the lid until it snapped shut over the manhole before swinging down to a platform sticking out of the walls surrounding the area, most likely put there after the first Maverick invasion for people to stand on to avoid getting wet and contaminated.

Now sure they were safe from danger, the only thing left is to wait until Magnus unleashes his attack before checking to see if it was safe to come back up.

Price started to think about this "invasion". He slowly craned his neck around to see his savior... "What kind of creatures are these?" He asked. "I feel a tad.. at the disadvantage if any stragglers decide to follow in."

[White-Jet]

"These creatures are cockroach-like; the grunts are the size of battle tanks while the leader is the size of a small building."

Hajime looks towards the lid of the manhole, "The only thing you need to worry about is the acid they spit out. A single drop could burn the skin right off your body. But I doubt they'll be able to fit through the manhole even if they melt the lid off."

[White-Jet]

Hajime decided to check up on Magnus to see how much power he charged in his attack. He appeared to be near ready to unleash his attack, but just when Hajime was about to assume everyone had gotten to safety, he sensed a rise in aggravation from one of the other humans in the area; the one wearing a full body battle suit.

Something appears to be infurating him into putting himself back in the line of danger to ward off the creatures that were closing in around them, but his reasons were not because he didn't trust Magnus' intentions, they seem to be focused on two other undetectable beings in the area, most likely reploids.

Hajime grit his teeth, there was barely little he could do at the moment due to his current position away from the point of disaster, even with his rocket boosters, it would still take him a while to get to the area without crashing into every single corner or pipe that stuck out of the sewage system.
