Aiko ducked in the observation room with a stunned Doc as Kaede and Tucker fought #6. The two Diclonii traded blows with their vectors with near expert percision and whike Tucker kept moving in to attack only to get knocked back, everytime he tried, Kaede seemed to gain more ground and #6 had to give it her all just to get it back.
'If this keeps going on like this, I'll get to tired to fight or they will over power me.' #6 thought. She the remembered the shackles she was broken out of and a glance confirmed they were still there. Waiting for Tucker to attack again, she the picked them up and hurled two pieces at Tucker. One hit his chest piece which sent him stagering back and the next hit him on the helmet knocking him out.
"Tucker!" Kaede cried out as she blocked another strike from #6.
"I-I got him!" Doc nervously ran from the observation room to drag Tucker back in with him. "Just make sure she doesn't hurt us!" Kaede didn't have time to voice her acknowledgement as #6 hit her defenses so hard it sent her back some.
"Why do you fight her? If you just kill the humans with you, you can prove that you really are you." DNA tells her.
'I've told you enough times that you should damn well know why I will never do that.' Kaede screeched in her mind. While she fought #6, she didn't see herself fighting the imprisoned Diclonius, but rather she saw it as the voice that had repeatedly tempted her.
"She and every Diclonius in this facility are proof enough that you are destined to destroy humanity." DNA argues. "There also councidently is proof here of why humanity needs to go. What do you think they do to the Diclonius here?"
#6/DNA used their vectors to flip over Kaede and attempt to attack her from behind, but Kaede quickly deflects the next attack and spins herself around to focus on the threat?
'Maybe what has gone on is proof that humanity should go, but its no reason for me to be the one to do it!' Kaede thinks at DNA. She furiosuly swipes at #6/DNA which is blocked by their own swipes. 'You keep telling me what I am and what I'm mean't to to. But the fact of the matter is that I've already choosen what I am, and what I'm doing.' Kaede takes out her magnum and fires, aiming for #6's legs, she doesn't hit, but she does scare her and forces her to back off some, which was her goal, as Tucker comes up from behind and holds her as Kaede runs up to her. 'I don't know why I've bothered listening to you for so long, but I finished with it, and with you.' As she ran, she saw Nyu holding DNA down in her mind.
"Stop her!" She hears Nyu and Tucker scream simotaniously. As Kaede runs, she see vectors begin to snake out of their back.
'So, for my own piece of mind, SHUT UP!' Kaede moves faster, plunging her vector at #6's and hitting her with enough force to knock her out, though in her mind, shes sees herself beheading DNA.
Nyu looks to her and smiles. At the same time, Tucker gently puts the girl down.
"What do we do with her?" Tucker asks.
"We have to help her. Being here must have really messed witth her head." Doc argues.
"Yeah, but we can't help her now. We need to take the complex and get all the Diclonius here the help we need. We'll leave her locked in here for now and return for her later." Kaede advises.
"Good idea." Tucker agrees. The four leave, locking the door before they go.
Elsewhere with Donuts group, there was a short elevator ride down before they reached the bottom levels.
"We're here! What were we looking for again?" Donut questions.
"Ahh!" Nana recoils. "Someones here with us. Someone vicious!"
"¿Soy yo? ¿Sientes mi odio visceral hacia algunos, particularmente los de rosa?" Lopez asks.
The group turn the corner and come face to face with a little girl sitting in a wheel chair.
"This looks like it will be fun." She smiles.

"¿Qué carajo?" Lopez blurts out.
Meanwhile, Kouta, Yuka, and Arakawa take a moment to catch their breaths on the lower levels.
"Yeah, first place." An uneffected Caboose flatly states.
"L-Lets not do that again." Kouta lets out.
"Given our luck so far, that won't be up to us." Yuka sighs.
"I hear footsteps... people are coming!" Caboose exclaims.
"Oh no." Arakawa panics.
"Caboose, can you fight them?" Kouta asks.
"Why would I fight them when I could be friends with them!" Caboose exclaims.
"Because they might not be that friendly." Kouta tells him.
"Not be friendly? Like they are mean?" Caboose asks.
"Yes! Obviously!" Yuka shouts out to the oblivious blue soldier.
"So, like a girl?" Caboose questions.
"What?" All three are understandably confused.
"Because, you know all girls are pretty much mean." Caboose continues. "Especially You-kaw."
"Excuse me!" Yuka exclaims.
"See what I mean." Caboose says as he turns to Kouta.
"We're all going to die." Arakawa decides as she sees the conversation go down.
"Not today, lady." They hear a familar voice. The footsteps round the corner to reveal themselves to be Kaede, Tucker, Aiko, and Doc. "The badass's are here." Tucker says.
"Thank goodness you all are alright." Kaede says with relief.
"Yeah. I can't believe we got here unscathed." Kouta says with disbelief.
"Did you find the imprisoned Diclonii?" Arakawa asks. Aiko and Doc share a look.
"We did, but the situation is a little..." Doc starts off.
"Complicated." Aiko finishes.
"Fall back! Falk back into secondary positions!" a SAT captain ordered as his men ran insidd the building to escape the ensuing onslaught.
"Epsilon." Carolina ordered.
"Yeah, I've gone through the bases layout. Theres no place in there that they can place a sniper to be od any danger to us." Church tes her.
"Then it looks like we've staved off the biggest threat to us." Washington confirms. "We are lucky we were quick enough, pushing them back that they didn't have time to get snipers ready."
"Heh. Not like getting shot at was ineffectual before coming here." Sarge says. "Maybe theres still time for a brave soul to take up his rifle and shoot Grif in the head. That be quite the final!"
"Heading inside." Grif says as he walks in the main entrance.
"Aw, damn it." Sarge curses.
"Lets move people." Carolina orders, the others following her. "I just hope the others have recovered and are doing damage to this place elsewhere."
"We can't free them?" Yuka asks for confirmation.
"No At least not right now." Kaede confirms.
"The unfortunate fact is that in thier mental state right now, they are a danger." Doc explains.
"I suppose that would make sense given what they are likely put through." Arakawa says.
"So... how can we help?" Kouta asks.
"We think we need a safe environment to get them to fuction like normal beings and not angry psychopath killers." Tucker explains. "To do that, we'll have to take this joint."
"Oh brother. This day just gets better and better." Yuka sighs.
"Take the place? How?" Kouta questions.
"I suppose we just have to get to the man in charge. That makes sense, right?" Tucker questions.
"That would be Professor Kakuzawa's father, Director Kakuzawa." Arakawa tells them.
"Two Kakuzawa's? Thats not going to get confusing." Aiko off handedly says.
"Okay, then lets just go to him then." Doc says.
"Okay. Were is that guy you were talking about?" Caboose asks.
