Welcome to Gaia! ::

Bzzt, bzzt

opaj lamely went into stealth mode.

Gaby noticed that the ropes were still in her hands instead of around her wrists. Hearing what Angel had said, she wrapped the ropes around her writs again to make it seem like her hands were still tied.
her intention was not to escape, but merely to be able to do soemthing to defend herself if the need arose. Yet she did not say anything for fear of attracting attention from those folks who had captured them.

"That's a bit better..." He sincerely was relieved when she stopped crying... but... what changed? She was radiating emotion or something. He had felt something of the sort when she had arrived in the sewer, and again when she regained consciousness... Just like before, he had no idea how to fix it or what it even meant, but he knew that it wasn't... normal. Maybe. It was hard to tell sometimes.

But... what was this emotion she was feeling now...?


OH s**t, DISTRACTION! A timely placed one, at that.

"s**t-" James quickly spun Eileen's chair and grabbed onto it by her left shoulder; pulling her along with him towards the freshly blown off door. James still had the knife in his hand... after all, she was an unrestrained hostage right now. But damn- Vahn had gone in there!

Pulling the mask back up onto his face with two fingers, James stopped just outside the room.

"What happened in there!?"

Edit: James quickly turned over his shoulder and shouted to the Kitten Hats who had just arrived (and apparently had a conversation with Spooky about what had been missed on either side):

"Get the truck."

Then there was a problem.

You see, even the least tech-savy would start to see that the vats - solid steel vats - began to bulge. Then as they continued the shudder rivets would begin popping out like mad, steam would fill the rooms... Hell, steam would cover the whole damn area. This couldn't possible be good.

No. No it was not.

You see a massive spell had just taken place from the master sorcerer himself from the depths of the forgotten temple. The temple that was connected to the city via the sewers. The sewers that were connected to the water plant. The waterplant that would serve as a converging point for the huge magical backlash surging through the pipes through the underground.

s**t, eh?

Thus it began to happen one by one. Outside a storage vat would swell till it couldn't take no more. And then it would explode. Not in a water and shrapnel everywhere, but in a water, shrapnel, and magical concussive force everywhere. There was a crater where that vat used to be. And quickly after that a second vat exploded in much the same way outside. Then one on the inside did much the same thing. This whole area was getting wrecked, and anyone near by would know about this. Either from seeing steam, explosion, or the cacophony of sound.

Good thing the automatic systems were still functioning. For ever failed tank underground piping would seal and divert everything to... a... giant storage tank in the centre of the area. Ok, well that couldn't possibly be good. That thing would take out the whole area.

And it couldn't possibly last more than an hour at this rate, and the slowly swelling semi-buried vat was hard to miss.

Again with the insults, as Ebris brushed past just like she assumed he would, with no other care in his mind than where his not so little buddies had gone. "Yeah yea. ******** you."

Begrudgingly she followed him a good few feet until her partner went and became the HULK and burst through the wall in order to reach their teammate.

Figures.

CRACKSH

Ryke took a quick step out of the way after spotting one of the guys from the earlier skirmish approach and break a desk over her counterpart's head like it was no big feat.

What the ******** there he went, off to rumble with the other two HUEG GAIS again.

-Insert heavy sigh here-



Well damn. It was about ******** time she had something to do! Christ.

Hearing her other teammate shout for the truck, she took it upon herself to handle that and practically sprinted back outside towards the abandoned big-rig they'd been cruising around in earlier.

"Comin' right up!"

Since the passenger side door was torn off, the female hunter slid across the seat and into the appropriate driver's position, key still in the ignition fortunately for her. Giving it a twist, the engine roared to life, foot on pedal, hands on wheel and it was time to get the ******** out.

"Yo! Let's get moving." She shouted to the group as she swung the big-rig around.

This is the part where the chimera catches up to Athan as he smashed a table over Ebris' back, having dropped everything in his hands to help make chasing after the guy easier. And just then, he'd be tackled right back through the door, straight towards Tzenidaar coming up behind him. But that's okay, seeing him coming, he planted his right foot forward to stop his own forward charge, his left hand stretching out and grabbed a handful of hair on the back of Athan's head. And with a pull, he twisted his body, right arm shooting up and around to uppercut Athan in the base of the spine and drive him upwards. And no, he didnt care if he was fully suited in armour. He did it nonetheless, shouting nonesense at the same time.



And well, then the two big men would still run straight into him, but that didnt really matter at all.

The explosions would continue at an ever increasing rate. Vats would turn to craters, and the pathways were becoming mangled.

To make it worse the buildup in the buried pipes and vats were creating a rumbling in the earth. It wasn't really an earthquake yet, but it would only get worse.
