Success is guaranteed

to the one who makes the rules.

From the information he had gathered, this was the place they held all the people that had been taken. It was a compound with three buildings. Two of them were for various tests and expreiments, the other was were they held their victims. A brick wall surounded the compound. Twelve feet topped with barbed wire was plenty to keep any normal person out. However, he wasn't normal. With a blast of air, his body was sent into the air well above the wall. While he was in the air he glimpsed sunlight coming over the horizon. I should hurry before it gets too bright out.

One of the three buildings stood out. It was only a single story, and there was a large portion that had no windows or doors. He'd check there first. Luckily, a guard was entering the buliding. Positioning himself against the wall to get the most thrust, he activated more of his dust. He aimed for the guard, hopefully the sudden impact would knock him unconscious. He pushed a lightly colored button on Lykos Fynika, it activated. He tucked his hands to his face preparing for the impact when the light blue dust started to form an ice disk aound his fists. On impact the sound of cracking was audible. A look at the shield and then to the guard on the floor. The shield was fine. "Hey thats pretty, cool. Ha ha. Well for me, not you. Eh, sleep is good for you. Anyways, off to find the people your holding."

Most of the building was empty, he only had to deal with one more guard. He came up behind him and again touched a botton on Lykos. He tapped the mans sholder.

"Wha- Dont move!"

"Whats wrong? Shocked to see me?" he placed one hand on the mans gun and pulled him closer. Once he was within reach, he placed his hand on his back. As the man spasmed, he let go of his gun ending the current in his body. He dropped to the floor. "I would say you are." He walked a ways down the hall and saw a heavy duty door. "This has got to be it." He decided to not shoot the door incase the sound alerted someone. He pushed yet another button on Lykos. Placing his hand on the door he consentrated his focus on his hand, this type of heat has proven more difficult to control. The door started to turn red, orange, then yellow. He stopped and shoved the door open. It came loose with little effort. Looking in the room all he saw were a few rows of computers. "Hm." Maybe someone forgot to log off? As he started going through the rows, waking each conputer up, he finaly found one that was left logged on. He inserted his scroll and went into the file section. There were floor plans, a list of employees, and a file named 'Semblances' that he could download. One of those would be helpful. He downloaded everything just in case. As he left the room he looked on the floor plans. Looks like they keep the people in the others. Walking past the guard he had electrocuted earlier, he saw a badge with a magnetic strip. This should make things easy, should take his scroll just in case to.

He made the gap between buildings as fast as possible. The badge let him in and no alarms triggered. Okay. straight, left, then the door at the end off the hall. He ran as fast as he could. When he got there he placed his ear to the door, he heard small wimpers. He slid the badge through the slot and the door unlocked. The wimpers became louder and he could hear people telling others to wake up and get to the back of the room. He cracked the door, light came though. It was just as he thought, they didn't even let these people rest in darkness.

When he opened the door, he was aware the people could hardly see him in the significantly darker hallway. He stepped in the room. "Dont worry, my name is Faolan. I'm here to rescue you. We just need to get out as fast as possible. Can you all walk?" Silence was what he got in return. He lifted the gun he had taken and slid it across the ground to the people. "Take it, you may need it. I need you all to hurry."

A young man bent down and grabbed the gun. In a flash he pointed the gun at Faolan "How do we know this isn't a trap?"

Faolan turned and lifted the hair on his neck revealing a red tatoo '99' was printed permanantly into his skin. "I've been where you are, and I won't let what happend to me happen again." He looked at the small crowd of people. "Now come on, we have to hurry!" People started to run toward him. The young man came toward him. "I need you in the back incase anyone comes after us, can you do that?"

"Yes, and thank you."

"Good. Come on, this way." He started to lead them to the exit where he came in. "When we get over the wall, I need you to all run east and don't stop. There are more people in the other building." They turned the final corner. "That's the exit", Faolan rushed ahead to open the door. When he slid the badge he heard a buzzing noise. The door didn't open. "Oh, thats uh-"

"Oops. You seemed to have triggered an alarm" a voice came from a speaker. Everybody stopped in their tracks. "You shouldn't have used that badge to unlock doors. Well, you seemed to have bauched this job of yours. What's something you would say in this situation? Hm. Ah. It seems you are Faoling at your mission. Ha ha, ah. Well, time for you to die. 'T' would you do the honors?"

A slight 'Fine' was heard and then an explosion came from outside. Faolan rushed to melt the door open. As he was heating it up, he heard more explosions coming from outside. Then he heard another explosion from the building they were in. He pushed on the door opening it but another explosion went off and Faolan was sent flying outside. He hit the ground and rolled a couple times. He stood up and saw both buildings that had people in them were leveled. The sound of an airship taking off drew his attention to the smaller building. Two airships were leaving. He couldn't take it, everything went wrong. He let out a scream and his semblance activated. What looked like three wolf skulls appeared above his head. He dropped to his knees and white blasts came from the skulls and hit one of the airships. It fell down to the building and caved the roof in. Explosions started going off, and before long, it too, was gone.

Where did I go wrong? First my family now this. How will I stop them? If only I was a -.
