Push the line! (UGF 1 & 2)

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

Rai would run over to help Jackson and Kazuya forming a blood mask to cover his mouth and nose doing his best to hold out the gas, unfortunately he hadn't got so good with his blood to be able to filter out the toxic air so even this was temporary. Coming upon the doors he would will two blades of blood out of his hands and hack at what remained of the door, if successful he would run through the door with Kazuya and Jackson.

[Levi Kayamei]

As soon as Levi began to hear the hissing of gas entering the room his eyes snapped to the vents, catching the misty gas entering the room. He quickly surrounded himself with a thin, solid sphere of light that would buy him additional time before having to worry about the gas. He then dashed to the north door and tried the obvious methods of opening a door: a handle/knob, pushing/pulling, etc. If those failed he would pull the lever next to the door.

[Aryn Valcoph]

With the sudden hiss coming from the sides of the room, Aryn cut her flames. She didn't want to find out that the gas was combustible and she just blew them all sky-high because she didn't take care. She moved with Levi towards the door with the lever and gave a heads up while he tried the obvious tactics of trying to open the door.

Mindful that it could be one of those ridiculous traps one saw in all the Indiana Jones movies, she pressed in close to the wall and slowly shifted the lever, paying attention to the possible changes in the space around her, but already starting to feel the effects of the gas.

She didn't want to be here for long.

[Kyrie Blaze]

The gas had Kiyr pausing in her backwards movement and immediately moving forwards, tagging along with Levi. She wasted no time in speaking quietly, just in case the doors didn't open with anyone's budging them.

"Levi, throw your shadow under the door. It should be enough to merge with any shadow the door throws and I may be able to get to the other side."

Getting out would be a squeeze, most likely, and the shadows certainly wouldn't save her from the gas - as she was still breathing air, just on a different tangent, so to speak - but it was worth a shot. And at least they would know if there was anything waiting for them on the other side of the door, too. She swayed a little, but immediately stooped and disappeared into Levi's shadow, trusting he'd be able to. And she hoped the crack beneath the door would be large enough to accomplish it.

[David B.]

OOC: ((IM BACK, BACK AGAIN, DAVIDS BACK, TELL A FRIEND))

David watched as everyone worked together, not stepping in for a moment or two in order to see how the others handled it. He was proud of his Dragons, working together. As the gas poured in, however, he decided enough was enough, Cutting the oxygen in the room by half, he would use his Qi to force the gas to the bottom of the room and funnel it under the door to anyone out in the hallways. He would continue creating a funnel from the vent locations under the doors while the fought to open the doors. He would look over at Kazuya.

"Kaz- heat the door to as red hot as you can and then stand back."

Once he was done, David would stand on the opposite end of the room and sprint. Once close, he would jump and, using air behind him to add force, attempt to dropkick the center of the door and rend the thing from it's holster and into the wall opposite them. He would then use his Qi to push the gas he had funneled out there down the hall the way they came. If all this worked, he'd turn back to his men.

"EVERYONE OUT- WE'RE MOVING UP!"

He had hoped, since Mathew was toward the middle or back, he wouldn't mind David taking the lead for a few.

[Marcus Prasad]

By Sheer stroke of luck, the very door Kazuya superheated was exactly the door David had intended for him to blast. Combined with the force from Davids wind, the door, dripping off it's hinges like wax, was torn off and away with a screech of grinding liquified metal.

Davids Wind tunnel would buy the gang all the time they need to find an escape, so long as he maintained it. Gas continued to be pumped in, therefore if the Storm Dragon were to cease, the gas Timer would restart.

The Double door would be strangely resistant to Jackson and Raikotsu's attacks. Levi's attempts to manipulate the keypad would only yeild a stern 'Access Denied' on the screen. The Door was doing a bang up job of keeping anyone out.

Or anything in.

If Levi complied with Kyrie's request to cast a shadow under the double door, then The young blond would find herself in a dimly lit hallway lined with opened cells much like a prison, though with no occupants inside. A Stairwell nearby would lead up to a walkway that circled around the long sterile colored hallway and contained more opened cells, again with nary a soul inside. The poor lighting would periodicaly flare up, revealing previously unseen claw marks on the walls.

And did I mention the smell?
Like Rotten eggs mixed with the smell of dead flesh coated in sweat and feces. The stench and the feeling of being watched by invisible eyes would assault the poor girl. Though if she summoned up her courage, she would see that the hallway opened up into another room halfway down and to the left.

Dare she brave the walk? The door behind her would remain locked, though she would be able to hear the muffled incomprehensible yells of her comrades if they attempted to scream to her from the other side of the door.

[Kazuya Hikari]

Kazuya would continue doing what he had been doing previously before David told him to heat the door as hot as he possibly could, which was, heat the door as hot as he possibly could, as he had been trying to melt the metal doors down. The moment he was done, he stood back, David drop kicking the center of the doors soon after, literally ripping the doors off their hinges. Surging forward soon after, Kazuya would completely engulf himself in flames, emitting intense light and heat, to light up the group's surroundings.

Who appeared to be David, Jackson, and Raikotsu.

"... David, should I help the others? They appear to be trying to get through the other door."

[Raikotsu Sudeki]

Rai took a quick few moments to catch his breath with the fresh air from David. He would look down the hallway that they were in and try to see what he could with Kazuya's fire. Rai kept his blood blades on his wrist just in case he would still need them.

[Jackson]

The rush of fresh air was a relief to Jackson. He took a couple of deep breaths, then turned to the other Dragons.

"What do we do now?" he asked them.

[Orion]

OOC: Time to gracefully withdraw

IC: In all of the confusion surrounding the attacking Elder Dragons, the gas, and the younger dragons attempting to move, Orion had wrapped up his weapon in cloth, ignoring the gas. He felt fine right now anyway. As the door blew apart, Orion slipped on his cloak and dulled down his glow to nothing, and started his walk through the hallway and away from the facility.

"My work here is finished... see ya around."

And with that, Orion would disappear from the area and the battlefield, letting the team of Dragons deal with everything here.

[Levi Kayamei]

Levi smirked as he placed his back to the door Kiyr spoke of and illuminated his fist in front of his waist, extending his shadow under the door, and allowing Kiyr to move to the other side. He waited for a moment then shouted after her.

"Come back if it won't open, we shouldn't separate."

If she obliged, Levi would rush through the open door and wait for the others to make it through before coming up with a plan. If she did not he would wait until he was the last one in the gas room before runing through the open door. Once everyone was through, Levi would place a solid panel of light in the doorway to keep the gas from becoming an issue while they made their plans. Looking at the group, he spoke calmly.

"Ideas?"

[Kyrie Blaze]

Unfortunately, she didn't quite make out Levi's shout. And with her frist breath as she rematerialized, she half-gagged, trying to keep quiet despite that. She covered her mouth, eyes narrow. Unfortunately, this side seemed to be in lockdown. There was no way to unlock the door from this side...part of her wanted to rejoin the group, to not be reckless.

The cautious part of her that said she should scout ahead intoned that perhaps, perhaps this was the way they would eventually need to come through. And if she could reach the spot that controlled the locking mechanisms, she could be of more benefit to her comrades. The other problem was that she could feel that she was being watched even though there was nobody readily visible. Which never boded well. She didn't think that it was separation anxiety, though she was depending on them more and more, she could handle flying solo.

The claw marks that flickered to life on the walls with the incandescent bulbs' unstable power was concerning. And it made her more wary...but Kyrie slowly slipped down the hall, taking quiet, cautious steps and looking over the cells as she passed them by, ever on the lookout as she walked - balls of her feet touching the floor to keep herself nearly silent - and flexed her hands at her sides. She would continue on, but with all due caution.

[Aryn Valcoph]

Aryn didn't need to be told twice. With the sudden chance to breathe, she did so, and moved towards the Storm Dragon after he barrelled his way through the door. The blond would have to either reappear on her own or hang tight, in her opinion.

Didn't seem likely they could bust down that door.

/esskahpé with David!

[Marcus Prasad]

{OOC} Sorry for the wait guys! Wont happen again I swear {OOC}

Kyr

Kyrie would move along unmolested, yet with a feeling of eyes at her back as she made her way down the cooridor. Faint sounds of feet with ungainly steps could be heard from the darkness as well as what could have either been Davids Wind tunnel from the room behind, or a predatory hiss right here right now that seemed to come from the walls themselves.

Eventualy she would reach a T intersection with another locked door that looked strangely warped directly ahead of her as well as what looked like an enclosed security station to her immediate right.

EVERYONE ELSE

Thanks to the combined efforts of David and Kazuya, the gang now have an open route that would lead them back to the surface and outside the facility as the deadly gas continues to flood into the room.

Meanwhile!

As Vogelbaum continued to watch the spectacle on his monitors, He would recieve a communication from Commander Tubalcain informing him that Task Force Serpent were nearly in position along with the few O.G.R.E units that were activated.

"Excellent! Then soon we can be rid of this inconveniance and get back on schedual. Commander, you may engage at your discretion, But please ensure that there is enough left for us to examine later."

[Kyrie Blaze]

Kyrie, while not one to be overly concerned with things that go bump in the night, was not about to ignore the evidence that she was not alone. She continued to take slow, easy breaths with her strides still steady and as sure as they could be.

'Considering the possibilities... Obviously, whatever here is big, judging by the way the door is warped. It has claws, perhaps, or sharp weapons or appendages. A predator - or something hostile and territorial - but somewhat unstable on its feet. That I can not see it either means my mind is getting the better of me - perhaps a side-effect of the gas at the best case scenario - or it is invisible for a decent scenario, or it dwells in the shadows or the walls themselves, or can bend the faint light around here, for some of the worst...'

Considering Kiyr didn't want to have it potentially wreck whatever was still intact in the security room, she stepped into a deep shadow in the hall and instinctively grasped her Qi. Immediately she adjusted to the different plane she was on and took a look around, starting with turning around in a partial crouch.

At present she didn't pull a weapon, though she was ready to.
