The surviving four continued to outrun the creatures, but barely. The cat like rabbit hybrids screeched out in fury longing as it were to satisfy their ever craving bloodlust of flesh. There was though a growing self belief amongst the pack that they would at last get it. The same belief was also present amongst the remaining Muyo Team that the creatures would get them if they didn't find sanctuary of some sort soon then kagato pointed at something in the distance.

'Look everyone, over there. To the left Ryoko. MY LEFT!'

Minor misunderstandings aside what Kagato pointed was not too far in the darkness and the mist was a large rectangular structure that stood out amongst the darkness. The face of the design was so long that if the multiple lights walled on its face were divded into sets of houses there would had been a full street of them.

'Alright!' The sight of the mansion shot a dose of much needed faith and will to overcome the odds and to push herself even harder against the wet terrain, the fear of the creatures from behind and against the cold bitter night. 'Oh finally a hotel! Good one boss!'

Kagato remained silent, not that he felt complimented in any shape or form but how anyone like Ryoko could think it was a hotel, still better to take it on face value rather then immediately question why such a mammoth display of architecture was constructed in the middle of nowhere. Nonetheless the couldn't remain silent for long and needed to point out to the idiot what it was.

'It's not a hotel you fool it's-'

How he almost bit his lips on nearly letting it all out! He couldn't believe his own self stupidity just then now he feared the worst and how Ryoko would surely question by what he meant on that along with how come he never mentioned this 'hotel' during the debriefing despite the survey. Ryoko slowed down, gradually trudging to a stop she gave a hard look at him, if she had a gun on her she may have pressed the issue with even more aggression but he could see the anger in Ryoko's eyes it left him wondering had she figured it all out that he in fact knew of the cabbit specimans and of the mansion.

'Are you telling me' Kagato couldn't find a excuse to counter what was surely coming and only hoped the cabbits would pounce on her quickly as she pressed on.

'That it has no dining rooms, gardens or even a swimming pool?'

'Err...' His mind flashed back to the inside workings of the building, the bloodied dining rooms linked to corridor occupied T-specimans, the lethal mega plant Jurai-41 and of course the flooded lab that was swimmable but not that anyone could escape the underwater terror that prowled it coded-

-Now that he thought about it, maybe Ryoko was right after all he mused evilly but not so much as to smirk openly about it.

'You know what?' He said with intended naive curiosity 'Maybe it does'

'Sweet! Let's get going then!' And for someone who smoked and drank at work alone her sudden sprint was nothing short of remarkable as she legged it to the building with renewed determination.

'Yes' He whispered, evil resonated in his words 'Run to your final check in evil, hahahaha...Oh crap!'

He nearly paid for his self complancey realising only by their blood thirsty snarls that the cabbits were now a lot lot closer. Running once more he turned fired more rounds over and over, he was getting close catching upto Mihoshi and Ayeka, Ryoko seemed to out run them entirely and the building was showing itself quite well. Old walls and a heavy double door was just about visible in his eyes but as he turned to fire again he was welcomed by the click-click-click of empty fire.

NO!

His hands gloved hands had a skin of sweat beneath, his dread was obvious as he couldn't stall the cabbits any further but he just be able to outrun for just a bit longer when he heard shouting and saw the rebel member running straight to the cabbits at even greater speed.

Ah the heroic sacrifice! Very noble of you. Kagato's compliment was rare but he would gladly compliment anyone who was selfless and stupid enough to allow him live a little bit more. One way or the other you have never failed to surprise me Ryoko I'll give you that.

'I dropped my walleeet!'

...never failed to surprise me

They couldn't turn back now and with hidden CCTV dotted around the area he could always watch catch up on the certain carnage later on as they were feet away now from the door.

'I hope it's open' Wailed Mihoshi and it occurred to Kagato that the blonde had a point, granted he knew about the building, worked inside, did the experiments and made the coffee for everyone on Sundays. In fact he wasn't around when the T virus broke loose and the T-specimens weren't taught basic manners in closing the doors behind them and the two doors looked to be in good condition meaning they were never open after all.

'Get back!' He instructed as his speed increased running with all his strength centred on his ramming shoulder charging and slamming into the door with a thundering bang but the door didn't move much to his disbelief. Battering a door down looked better in the movies, and less painful it seemed as well.

However he deducted a kick to the lock would surely do the trick!

CRR-AACK

Kagato hobbled, his lips sucked in his mouth whimpering out some pain with hands nursing his leg, there was nothing worse than to be humbled by wood, in front of his team. He needed to stop watching movies, or at least remember that he had yet to take any of his serums so far...

Then he heard the door unlock, he immediately turned round 'Well Done Ayeka i see you unlocked it after I had loosened it' His words fell short when he saw Mihoshi standing by the open door.

'It was unlocked.'

'Get in'

'All I did was turn the handle-'

'I SAID "GET IN!"

The two went in quick as Kagato hobbled, still fuming, he took a breath and exerted his anger into slamming on the door, on cue a cabbit had leapt and yelped as its face became a flat shaped complexity topped with a crush nose as the door walled it out from breaking in.

'Pft as if that thing knew pain' He muttered whilst resuming to nurse his sore leg but immediately stood up again for the sake of his self appearance and walked off immediately setting off to one of the rooms till he stopped realising he starting to act of character, he had to be as surprised as they were, or at least as Mihoshi Burton was.

'What is this?' She drawled not really taking in the blatant reception of the building, the large stairway in front of them, the dust free red carpeting, the polished woodwork, archways holding the upper floor with no ceiling around the floor of the balcony. If she had asked why there was a 1930's typewriter placed right next to the stairway then that would be understandable because he had no idea either as to why they were all dotted round this place. Keeping in character he broke out his 'surprise' whilst spelling it out to Mihoshi just what this place was.

'Wow what a mansion'

Ayeka looked round with a sense of anxiety 'Captain, where's ryoko?' Kagato couldn't give an answer, perhaps mention 'dead' but certainly not 'hopefully' afterwards. A grim silence expressed his condolences more then words ever would still Ayeka who stared with a surreal look and still not taking in those creatures that attacked her along with Ryoko's apparent death just bolted it towards the door.

'Stop it! Don't open that door!' Stressed Kagato.

'But Ryoko is'

A loud single gunshot broke any thoughts of Ryoko as they all eyed the large double doors. Someone had fired at something from behind those doors, and it was perhaps their last as well.

'What is it?' Said Mihoshi, Kagato was wondering the same, not on the sound of the gun, unlike mihoshi he wasn't clueless on what that sound was but on who made the shot...all the Muyo team were here, well the ones that made it so far...

'Maybe its...Ryoko' Ayeka opened her mouth to state that it wasn't the case but went against it knowing she had to state she used all her ammon and Ryoko's in dispensing one of those things...and that she still had Ryoko's gun on her and swiftly placed it back in its hoist so as to assume no one would notice, not that it escaped Kagato's attention which was why he was genuinely puzzled on who fired that shot. 'Now Ayeka, can you go?'

'Yes said, ready to back you up. Sir!'

'Without me. Ayeka.' He Reiterated 'Can you go without me?'

'Captain?' Ayeka was feeling a little unsettled by what he was demanding. 'Are you asking me to split up?'

'Noooo! Now why would I do that? Its Just a simple reconnaissance Ayeka its only next door' He then smiled at her but there was something eerie about that grin, a very sure look in a unsure and unsafe environment.

'I'll go with her!' Stated Mihoshi walking to the side of her comrade and patting her with unchecked strength that almost sent Ayeka falling forward. 'Ryoko is our old partner you know!' She said with a cheesy grin on her face. Two sets of eyes immediately laid on Mihoshi with Ayeka suddenly standing upright, defying the pain to the back to give a narrow look of anger at her teammate though her face was red it wasn't necessary because of anger.

'Ayeka' He looked at the two with a raised brow of suspicion 'What did she mean by that?'

'Oh nothing! Absolutely nothing at all!' She stampeded defensively 'Let's get going Mihoshi...MIHOSHI!' She grabbed the loose talker by the arm and with one pull dragged her to the direction of the door to the apparent shooting. Kagato briefly smiled at the comedy before snapping into a more authoritative figure knowing he can't have the two bickering at this stage, he needed them to be of some use still.

'And stay alert!'

His words had a direct effect, other than catching them off guard by his loud voice the two remembered where they were and how they got here. Their captain was right they needed to be alert if they wanted to get out and agreed to walk to the door as one team that amazingly went without incident.

'Finally' He took a look around the hall, vast and lonely...utterly void of any of the T-Specimans. 'Where are they?' Frowning at their absence he had to conclude they were still lurking in the corridors still, he should be partly grateful given his preparation to lead the team to slaughter was admittingly poor and with only two subjects it wasn't going to be much of a spectacle, speaking of which as he realised with a horrible chuckle that he needed to get to the control room and check the CCTV surveillance of the grounds outside and watch the moment he hadn't had chance to stay and watch

The

Death

Of

SLAM

Kagato spun round; Ryoko had crashed through the door, slamming it behind her followed by a yet another yelp by one of those cabbits that caught the face of the closing door again. Ryoko bent down with hands on legs drawing in some breaths before standing upright only to lean on the door to rest her body weight. She then noted her unimpressed Captain.

'Hey!' She wheezed with a half wave gesture before slouching on the door and lighting up a cggerate. Huffed and smiled as she exhaled white smoke from her nose. 'Ah that's better..oh I forgot!' With her free hand she rumbled through her pocket and showed off her still wet possession. 'I got my wallet!'

'-You'

There was a little venom in Kagato's finished sentence and whilst his face gave away no expression to Ryoko's cocky attitude and her knack of good fortune, behind those dark shades however there was an anger, cold and loathing that for now was barely in check behind those shades, but only for a time.
