"So, where are the others?" asked Emmet, as he, Wyldstyle, Laval and Gara quietly sneaked around the facility where they had, until a few minutes ago, been locked away.
Gara quickly gestured for the three of them to take cover, as they all hid behind a few trash cans. They were just in time; several armed guards can running down the corridor, running right past them, carrying deadly-looking rifles.
"How should I know? I'm just from the future; I don't know everything," whispered Gara, glancing behind the other two to look over at Emmet.
"We need to integrate a guard," concluded Laval, looking around to see if there was anyone nearby that could be listening in on what they were saying. "But I need my weapons first before we can do that."
"Who says you need your weapons?" asked Gara, before he grabbed the Chromo Chi Crystal that sat in the middle of his dagger. With a bit of force, Gara pulled the crystal out from the dagger cross guard, and quickly placed it to the holster that sat on his chest.
With a final twist, it locked into place and glowed a bit brighter once he removed his hand.
Laval looked over the trash can when he heard movement coming towards them; he silently gestured for the others to stay quiet and to keep low, in order to remain out of sight. Emmet and Wyldstyle nodded a little, while Gara had already lowered himself so that he was already out of sight.
Laval then slowly peaked up over the trash can, and spotted a couple of the armoured and armed guards patrolling around their area.
These guards appeared slightly different, with full face masks covering their heads instead of normal helmets like the other guards; it was almost as like they were riot-control guards.
One of the guards gestured to the other that he was going to be heading down one of the other corridors. The second guard nodded, watching the first guard slowly walk off down the corridor as the second guard slowly walked around the area.
He came to a stop just in front of the trash cans, his back facing them.
A poor choice.
Laval, with the stealth and silence of a hunting lion, slowly stood up to get a better attack, before he quickly and quietly reached forward and wrapped his arm tightly around the guard's neck.
Before the guard could even let a gagged sound out, Laval quickly dragged him over the trash cans and out of sight. The other guard turned around when he thought he heard something; he looked around behind him, not seeing anything.
Not even the other guard.
He shrugged a little, before he continued his search of the area.
Laval growled silently, baring his teeth as he held the Chromo Dagger against the guard's throat, silently telling him that he should remain silent if he wanted to keep his life.
The other three had helped Laval carry the guard silently out of the open area and into an empty room; to make sure that they continued to remain undisturbed, Emmet and Gara quickly gathered the contents of the office workroom and blocked the door.
With Emmet finishing off the blocking off while resting a coffee cup on top of the block pile, Laval growled lowly at the guard.
"We need information from you; and we want the truth," said Laval lowly, pressing the dagger more against the guard's neck to make sure they understood Laval was being serious.
Silence followed Laval's statement, as though the guard was refusing to talk.
Laval snarled in annoyance, before he threw his other hand at the guard as a fist; the hit struck the side of the guard's helmet, the force of the hit sending the guard sideways to the ground.
"I want answers; where is the Knight and the Dragon?" asked Laval, trying to both keep his tone quiet enough so that they weren't going to be overheard, but forceful enough to make sure the guard understood he wasn't playing around.
Again, the guard didn't talk; he just slowly lifted himself back to sitting up again, looking at Laval and the others in pure, unsettling silence.
"He's not telling us anything," whispered Wyldstyle to the other two, as Laval approached the guard again.
Grabbing the guard around the neck, Laval lifted the guard a few inches above the ground, showing his supreme strength.
"Answer me!" snarled Laval, his temper starting to wear thin with the guard; his grip tightening around the neck, causing the sound of choking starting to escape the guard's mask.
"That's enough Laval," said Gara, slowly approaching Laval with a slightly annoyed look in his gaze; almost as though he was a bit annoyed with the younger Chimaian.
Laval growled in annoyance, before he threw the guard against the wall in his frustration; the force knocked off a few pictures that were still hanging on the wall.
The force from the throw knocked off the helmet from the guard, sending it flying across the other side of the room.
This revealed the guard's head; which was mostly covered in...
Pink hair.
"Rose?" asked Emmet, blinking a little in shock at the guard's identity.
The Agent quickly got herself to her feet again, quickly drawing her secondary pistol and aiming it at the four figures in front of her.
"W-What are you guys doing here?" asked Rose, blinking a little as she finally seemed to notice who the figures were, slowly lowering her pistol as a look of confusion came across her face.
"…Are you alright, Rose?" asked Wyldstyle slowly, taking a few cautious steps towards Rose; Laval was still collecting himself as he came to the realization that he was interrogating/beating Rose.
"I…I remember you guys leaving to collect one of the Oblivion Crystals, and Blackstar called for me to take part in a task for defending Astor City, in case anything were to happen that meant you couldn't collect the Oblivion Crystals before Anti-Builder…and…it just went blank after that," said Rose, rubbing the side of her head as she looked around.
Wyldstyle looked back at Emmet and Laval, who all shared a similar look; something wasn't right about all of what was going on.
"Do you know where we can find John and Darsin? They're a Knight and a Dragon," asked Emmet.
Rose thought for a few moments, before she nodded.
"Yes; but, who are they?"
"Our friends," said Wyldstyle.
"Oh! Speaking of which, are the others here? You know, Zeon and Perri?" asked Emmet, speaking up and stepping forward.
Rose nodded, saying, "They're here as well; I can take you to them," as she slowly approached and picked up her helmet.
"We'll have to have an act, though; otherwise, you guys aren't going to survive," said Rose, carrying the helmet under her arm as she held the pistol in her other hand.
Emmet and the others nodded.
Meanwhile, in the Dark Realm, Anti-Builder was standing in the centre of a triangle, which had been engraved into what acted at the ground, seeing as the Realm didn't have a physically form.
At each point of the triangle, there was one of the three Oblivion Crystals; at the top, was the Death Trinity. On the right point, was the Venom Trinity, and on the left, was the Chaos Trinity.
He had the Wheel of Oblivion in hand, looking down at it as he stayed silent, as though he was waiting for something to happen.
"Sir," said Grim, slowly approaching Anti-Builder and bowing down to one knee, "is there anything you wish for me to assist you?"
Anti-Builder slowly turned his head to one side a little, acknowledging Grim's presence for a second before he turned back to facing forward again.
"You could provide me with information…" growled Anti-Builder, his back facing Grim as he spoke.
"And what information can I provide for you, sir?" asked Grim.
"You could tell me…why the Master Builders, and the Chimaian, as well as the newly appeared Chimaian, are moving freely throughout the Astor Maximum Security Facility," asked Anti-Builder, his voice strangely calm; it was almost intimidating, able to send a shiver down anyone's spine.
Grim looked up in surprise and confusion, before he lifted his hand to his ear to his earpiece.
"Shadow-Man, respond. I have reasons to believe there are escaped prisoners," said Grim, waiting a few seconds for a response.
When he did, his face dropped and he snarled a little, getting to his feet again and disappearing in a cloud of red smoke.
BIG MILESTONE!
