((My turn...)) Hybrid gently touched the receptionists' cheek, a small dot being left, which quickly absorbed into her skin. "So tell me, the electrical room is where beautiful?" The receptionist giggled and pointed to a hallway. "Well then, I'll be seeing you later." She waved as Hybrid turned, and lost his emotion from his face. He walked through the doors and moved quickly, the shadows hiding him well, even though there was a slight lack of them.
He quickly faded to the room and entered. His hands quickly playing across the wires. After a while, he began to rip out certain areas. One by one, each section of the large jail system/polic department began losing power, within a minute, the entire facility was out of lights. Hybrid, was now in his playground. He pulled out a vial and threw it into an air duct. It shattered immediately, and the vapors began seeping through the area. Hybrid pulled a small mask on, making him even more invisible.
The prisoners four would have definately noticed before now, how the area, though clean, and well-kept, had a sort of, moldly smell to it. There were no air ducts or vents to allow fresh air to be recycled, though the air filtered in through the doors, under them and such. Luckily for them, they wouldn't be the victims of the vial Hybrid had just thrown.
When the lights and electricity when out, immediately small green pinpoints of lights went on. The guards keeping the prisoners, at least where they were, had night vision.Their steps could be heard, as they moved along slowly. There was no light, no way to see anything. Only those green pinpoints were visible.
Quickly Hybrid made his way through the facility, his own eyes made for this, he watched as men fell to the ground, sleeping like babes. The man moved through the hallways as if he knew this place like the back of his hand...in fact maybe he did. Hybrid found himself in front of the door, those he had hired, were in there, in the cells. Hybrid opened the door, and then moved in and up. He was somehow invisible to them. They looked up and around, but he didn't move. They breathed slowly, not sure what to do, as they didn't see anything, and weren't sure if they could do anything.
Hybrid then moved again when the guards turned, his stealth and speed far excelling any that had been before. His arm wrapped around the shoulders, and head. With one swift pull, the guard was dead, before even a noise was made. The gun fell down to hanging. Hybrid let him fall and then leapt up again as the thump resounded throughout the room. He then began crawling, slowly, but better than others. He was in the pipes above their heads.
The guards' eyes widened as he saw his friend on the ground. His first instinct, which unfortunately for him, that he followed, led him to his dead companions side. He turned and looked up, as something came down, and then a short muffled cry. The green pinpoints short circuiting and dying out. A thump, and utter silence. Suddenly a voice, one familiar to all of them spoke from the darkness.
"I told you...you would be well known. Now you have little choice, but I shall give all of them to you, and not bias your decision. You can either stay here, and be tried. You can leave with me, and then leave me, never to see me or the others again, you could stay here and possibly not be convicted, or you can leave with me and do what I'll tell you. It doesn't matter to me. It is your choice, and always will be. Franz was easy only at the cost of all of you. You were defeated, no matter how you look at it..."
Hybrid's golden, but unseen eyes looked out before glowing, only those seen in the darkness, simply floating there watching them all at the same time. "Oh...and your thoughts are loud, as are your words. You could never hope to beat me Arkus." Slowly his vision left the others, and he looked straight at the bull man. "I would tear you apart like a steak...understand?" He stared at Arkus for a long time before returning his gaze to everyone there. "Now...make your decisions...you have one minute"

Arkus snorted. What choice did he have? He didn't like the steak remark, however. "Never compare me to a cow, sir, and we shall get along just fine." Arkus grunted. He didn't care what Hybrid was capable of; minotaur would not back down from the most even the most invulnerable of foes. "Just be warned. I will not be used like this again. I would know all of your plans and what they entail before I do anything like this ever again..." The minotaur's eyes narrowed.
He stood up, using the wall only slightly, due to the fact that he was still heavy by anyone's standards, and that his ankle was still a tad shaky. "But my choice... is to come with you." He said, looking around.
And in the back of his mind, Arkus recalled what the elf had called him. "And never refer to me as 'darling,' elf, or it'll cost you your head." The minotaur threatened. A few days in prison made one, especially Arkus, especially grumpy. Though the minotaur wasn't one to always back up his threats with action, especially threats made in anger, it wouldn't be wise to risk testing his resolve, especially now.
There were more important things to do anyways.
"Now, are we going to get moving?"

((Short, really busy))
Na'fiel watched as the lights began to flicker and finally dim. A few thumps were heard as well. Using her pinging technique, she found that at least one of the guards was down. Perhaps even all of them.
"Hybrid..." she thought, hearing him speak. So he didn't leave them behind...surprisingly. Now, she heard the choices as well as the reply that Arkus gave. Stay here? And possibly be blamed for this mess? Pfft...hardly an option.
"I'll come with you," she answered, pinging the room and finding that all the guards were down and possibly (likely) dead. Well, now they could get out at least. Lucky drows...could see in the dark.
"Let's get out of here, fast," she said, listening, "They're already coming after us." Indeed, footsteps were pouding down the halls. Many loud thumps as well.

The elf grinned, slanting green eyes at him coyly as he approached the bars of the cell. He looked towards Hybrid's golden eyes for a moment before dropping the grin to a sad and despairing frown. His feathery black hair fluttered around his face, accenting the ivory, pale skin as he seemed to eminate his sorrow.
"Oh! But, sir, I would never dream of leaving you for the world," Kort smiled charmingly. "Not when it's so exciting."
Really, he would go if it meant leaving the cell. It had no ammenities. A toilet in the corner was NOT a good sign. No shower, no bath bubbles, nothing! Z'Kort couldn't survive under these conditions, especially confined to a cell with the minotaur. Obviously the man held some disgust for the poor charmer, because every coy remark was met with a retort filled with barely contained nausea.
"And I think my friend's patience is wearing thin," he murmured, sliding another glance at the man beside him. Kort reached a hand up to brush away some hair from his eyes, and looked towards the other cell. There was the drow and the mermaid, looking just as ready to leave.

After the drow gave her angry consent and, though seeming amused, wasn't happy with his actions, Hybrid held his hands up. "You must listen for my voice. And put the things I'm about to hand you over your mouths. The jail cell doors sprung open, and into each of their hands was thrust something like a mask. The golden eyes had disappeared. Only his voice could be heard, it was a soft whisper, what it was saying? Impossible to tell...but it was something special, that was for sure.
Hybrid would lead them down the hallway after their masks were securely attached. Hybrid himself moving with speed, but patience for the rest. He breathed in silence, and only whispered. He would get them out, there was no doubt about that. Hybrid, the leader of this small ragtag seeming bunch, led them from the dark depths toward the exit. All enemies were unconscious and unmoving...

Grabbing the mask out of the air, Zaniah hauled herself to her feet, the bandages stretching tightly across her stomach and causing the wince to cross her face as she straightened. As Hybrid began to retreat though, she put the mask on and then said quickly...
"What about my blades and other things? I'll not leave without them!!" Of course the drow wouldn't, she made her living here with Shan'naal on her back and Viper-fang at her belt, they were also some of the only things she had left from her home-plane. Blinking a few times, the drow let her eyes shift to infrared spectrum, her eyes glowing a soft red in the darkness as the fading heat from the guards bodies gave off colorful patterns in the air about them, as much so as their own warm, living ones.
Not wanting to be left her to try and get out herself later though, she slipped away after Hybrid. If anything, she could get into the prison another time and just steal them back.. but Zani didn't like the idea of not having them at hand.

Hybrid simply answered Zaniah when she asked about her weapons. "They are of no consequence. You will find weapons of greater power and greater magic. Those were novice weapons...the new ones will be advanced, but not master quite yet." Hybrid's movements where silent, if his constant mummering were not there, not even Zaniah would be able to find him. She would only be able to navigate down the hallways, and the rest, where hopeless. The elf only had low light vision, and when there was no light to begin with...it made things difficult.

The mask felt strange on Arkus' face, but he made do anyways. "And what of my custom sets of knuckles? I could use those myself..." He grunted, even though he could actually get by nicely without them.
"Ah, on second thought, I don't really need them..." He decided. It was just him being impatient.
Arkus couldn't see a thing. Though his vision was normally crisp in bad weather and decent at night, he couldn't see what was even in front of him.
"Pardon the question, but how the hell are we supposed to get out of here? It's pitch black! Unless you can magic up some nightvision goggles or something, I'll be stumbling around..." He groaned slightly.
He looked around. Nothing. He couldn't see a thing. He didn't even really want to move, due to the fact that he risked scraping a horn (rather painful) or an arm (painful to a lesser extent, but still something he'd like to avoid).
He had to follow Hybrid's voice in order to really navigate the place. "You know I have this thing with trust once I find someone knew that I was going to be in jail... it doesn't come easily..." He growled. But trust had to be formed now, or he'd never really get out.

Na'fiel shrugged and pulled the bulky thing over her face. The only problem with it was that she couldn't use her echolocation technique now. Rats. That was what she was counting on, too.
"This had better not get us into more trouble," she muttered, before trying to make her way through the hall, straining to hear Hybrid's voice. Geez, if you want people to follow you, talk louder! Some people...
Na'fiel walked through the halls, slowly. She tripped over some large lumps that felt like human bodies, but she couldn't be sure. She hated working in the dark. It was like trying to navigate at the bottom of the ocean! If only she didn't have her mouth covered, but the mermaid assumed that there was a reason they had these things.
Hybrid sure was a mysterious person. First, get them to complete whatever task he'd already set out for them. Then, leave them to get sent to prison before rescuing them again. Why not skip the prison part and get them out of the building? He certainly looked powerful enough to do it...
"Whatever..." she thought, just glad to be getting out of there.

"Of no consequence??" Repeated the drow in a low growl, following the voice and picking her way down the hall easily. Her eyes continued to have that reddish glow to them as she strained to remember the trials she had gone through just to get her hands on those valuble blades, but the memories slipped through her fingers like sand as she cursed and just stopped dead.
"I will not leave them behind, even if we do leave, I'll be coming back for them.." Her voice was not pouty or demanding, just stating fact. Shan'naal and Viper fang would not be left for these human scum to handle..
Running an ebony hand through her shockingly white hair, Zaniah ground her teeth in frustration and the annoyance of not having her weapons on her, even when they were obviously safe.

Kort shrugged and silently slipped the mask onto his face. He was a little saddened at needing to cover such a gorgeous thing, but it wasn't such a problem. Glancing up, he blinked at the darkness and took careful steps forward, taking up the back of the small group.
Long and thin ears twitched as he listened to the drow and man argue back and forth. Why not just give the woman her weapons? Hybrid was already so powerful and whatnot. If he could have, Z'Kort would have yawned, but there was little space in his mask and it was taken up by his face. A lovely face, might I add, he thought silently to himself.
"So, are we getting any food?" Was all the elf could manage as he trailed along, listening intently for their so-called leader's voice.

Hybrid continued to walk them slowly, through the corridors, he ignored the plea for weapons. If they had a deathwish they could go get them on their own, but those weapons they had chosen were weak, flimsy, and useless in the endeavours they would be setting out upon...but maybe it would be a better experience for the drow if her weapons broke in combat, and she was left with nothing...
He stopped and looked back at them all. "Stop here." Hybrid was not visible in the drow's vision, and even if she tried to get out, she'd more likely than not, get lost. He moved quickly through the hallways and kicked open the evidence door. It caved like paper. He walked in, and pulled her weapons out. He spit on the ground, shook his head and began walking again. She didn't understand what she was getting involved in to want items that were useless to her now...
He would walk back and fling the swords from his hands as he was walking down the hallway. They would whirl and try to embed themselves into the wall...unfortunately when the police take weapons, they dullen the edges...The weapons bounced off and fell to the ground. They were now bludgeoning weapons. Hybrid walked up in silence and lifted the weapons from the ground looking back at them all in silence.

Stopping right there, the drow waited untill she heard something come wizzing through the air. Hearing the dull 'thunk' of something hit the wall then something metallic hit the floor, her eyes went wide with realisation as she rushed towards the body that was now visible as Hybrid and took her blades from his hands with a viciousness and stored them in their respective sheaths.
"Lead on.." She said moodily, her frustration at this 'man' rising every time she met him. But at the same time she mentally applauded him. It would not take much to restore her marvelous weapons to their former glory, but it would take some hunting on her part to find the right person in which to do it.

Hybrid shook his head slowly. He uttered two words. "Ignorant Drow." He then began leading them again, Hybrid disappearing to the drows' sense of sight. How he achieved this? Impossible to say. Yet his words kept playing on their ears guiding them slowly down the halls. Finally there was the entrance, yet the words stopped with one word.
"Halt."
Hybrid stood there for a long time, his eyes scanning, his body unseen. There was an unnatural darkness around the station, It was pitchblack out there now. Meaning not even the drow could see. Since she was a bit more adapted to this lifestyle instead of the underdark. She could only see this long because of the few lights surrounding. "We have company..." Was all that Hybrid said.
Next that the company knew...they were in the tavern. Dameon standing back behind the counter. He waved a solitary hand and said, "Yo"

((Blah short. Just wanted to keep it going.))
Na'fiel shook her head. She'd pretty much just given up on figuring out how these things worked, now. Whatever happened, happened and that's all it was. No real point in trying to overanalyze everything.
Na'fiel nodded to Dameon and stretched. Wow...long day. Exciting, though. Very...interesting. She didn't know what this was all about, but figured that it didn't really matter at the moment. If they were going to find out then they were going to be told. No point in wasting energy trying to comprehend something that you were never going to.
"So what now?" she asked, to no one in particular, "Is that it?" If that was it then it was hardly worth the effort. Then again, it was better than doing nothing. Whatever.
