Holding his blazing finger to the lock, Will sent a surge of energy through it, melting right through the lock in an instant. The lock ruined, Will gave the door a firm shove and it swung right open. His eyes glowed and energy tendrils started flowing from his back, his subconcsious beginning to form his wings. A wicked, hungry grin much like a shark's spread over his face as he moved into the hall with the grace and silence of a hunting cat. He was free and loose in the home of his enemy. The enemy he'd sworn to himself that he would kill. For the moment he shoved aside the part of him that his Hunters were most familiar with, locking away his love of peace and his compassion, letting the darker emotions buried deep within take control. The desire to stalk, to hunt, to kill sung to him in a glorious cresendo. The Guardian was away, now the Slayer could play.
Cocking his head, Will sniffed the air as if he were an animal. There. Around the corner. The scent of sweat, leather, and gun oil. The soft sound of footsteps on the carpeted hallway. Guards on patrol. Two. Ill prepared. Not expecting attack. Easy prey.
Quietly preforming a triangle jump between the wall and a nearby pillar, Will leapt into the corner of the hall entrance, waiting for the two unwary patrollers to pass by underneath. They didn't disappoint him, walking by without a single glance up. The first one fell without bloodshed and without a sound as Will fell upon him, his neck snapped like a twig when the Hunter landed squarely on his head feet first. The other was alerted by the wet cracking sound of his partner's spinal column and turned to see what happened, opening his mouth to shout when the crude longsword was shoved through his open mouth, piercing straight through it's roof and directly into the brain. Again, a clean kill without a single noise or alarm and with a minimum of bloodshed. In under a second, Will a ruthlessly and efficently murdered two possible opponents. And the part of him that was still a Slayer reveled in the violence.
With a soft grunt of effort, Will grabbed the corpses by the collars and dragged them down the hall and into his former prison, the room he'd just escaped. Hiding the bodies in the room and fixing the door lock so that it wouldn't appear dmaged at first glance, Will moved to go about his mission of hunting down Mauser when Lydia's thoughts slammed into his mind.
Clutching his head, Will couldn't help but smile through the slight pain of the sudden psychic message. Lydia was free. There was no deceit in her thoughts. She was coming to him, and she was free. Looking up he saw her sprinting down the hall towards him, tears in her eyes. Without a word he turned to her and opened his arms to recieve her, his own eyes threatening to water. He was free, she was free. And together, they'd not only keep their freedom but make the one that took it from them pay.

Running hard, Lydia's footsteps echoed softly through the halls, a whisper that announced her comings and goings. Turning a corner without loosing a hair's worth of speed, the freed prisoner rushed towards Will without a thought for anything but him. Weapons, strange powers...those did not matter. Nothing else registered in her mind except that Will, her first friend, her leader, and her lover stood before her with him arms held out to her, reaching out for her.
She ran into him full force, not even taking enough time to stop, while throwing her arms around his neck in a hug. Burying her face into his shoulder, the psychic cared not one bit that her tears were leaking onto his shirt, dampening it. She held onto him tight, not wanting to let go lest it was all a dream. They were now both free, and they were safe in each others arms.
Looking up, Lydia met Will's gaze for a long moment before her lips were on his in a tender and passion-filled kiss. She held her soft, moist lips against his for a moment, and when she pulled away finally, it was slow, tantalizing, and left a want for the touch and taste of his lips again in her mouth. Though her experience with kisses left much blank to her and even more vauge and fuzzy, she had learned much during that one night that had made them lovers and it showed in her kiss.
"I am so sorry..." she said, meeting his gaze again, tears blazing anew. "I could not stop them...I tried and tried but I was trapped, I only barely managed to get out now...Oh Will, I am so sorry..."

Edith had now entered the vacinity of the High Rise District as stated in Lydia's letter. She still felt guilty for reading the letter when ordered not to, but it had only been meant for good intentions. Still, Edith felt uneasy about prying into it... After all it had been meant for her brother, not her.
She slowly reduced herself to a slow, cautious stroll, not wishing to draw any unwanted attention to herself. Then, she brought herself to a gradual stop and surveyed her surroundings, all the while thinking to herself: Where to begin the search? I have over one hundred possible buildings I could search... Ugh, this is where I wish I were a lycan, vampire, or someone with special powers to aid me... Well, all I've got is my human logic, hopefully, it'll get me outta this slightly minor jam...
As she thought to herself, Edith began to pace again. She looked around and to her surprise, came up with an insane, yet fairly logical idea. Hey! I bet this person that's holding my brother and Lydia captive are really rich, therefore they probably own a huge-a** skyscraper. Idea or no? Well, I'm going for it, I've got nothing to lose, but which huge-a** skyscraper to select? While walking, Edith had randomly roamed into a building, it seemed normal, except for the fact that no one was there and there was an elevator right there. To Eden's unawareness, she had just stumbled into the correct building and was now facing the elevator that could possibly lead her to her friend -- or so she considered her -- and her brother.

tyler rushed into the highrise district, it was at this time that he realised that this could very well be his final battle, his final transformaction, and his final frenzy. he wanted to make it count. sprinting down the sidewalk at a dead out sprint even for him he decided to follow his nose, following will's scent, or those close to it. edith's scent was probaly one of the strongest out there, and he knew that she knew or had a good idea of where will was. it in all truth was rather easy to find her. kicking open the door not giving a damn who was watching or what the conciquences were he entered the building and walked rught behind edith. all of his weapons hidden on his person, and all of his clips on him as well. withen his buttoned up coat was enough firepower to wage a small war. and yet he had nothing to loose, he dind't care what happend to him anymore. "edith, figured if i followed you here i'd find will and the people who took him... and yes, i did stalk you all this way" he joked as he patted her on the sholder. "you want to go up or down?" he asked as he looked to her. "becouse riding me is going to be much faster than riding the elavator" he offored.

Tyler had almost literally scared the crap out of Edith, but she restrained from jumping or yelping either way. She turned to face Tyler, a glint of determination was in his eyes, it motivated her, and she too became more confident. Her eyes sparked with a mysterious flare and she confidently stated, "Hell, we're going all the way up, Will's gotta be on one of the upper levels, along with Lyds. Lets go!"

Sabrina had fallowed, she stayed back a yard or so for most of the way and fallowed him in. She stayed to the shadows knowning he could sense her, but unsure if his sense of protecting and saving will was over powering that. Her stoamch was tied up in knots knowing that he didn't care if he died, but she did. She knew that she couldn't live without him. She held back the erge to sob at the thought of loosing him. Choaking it back as she watched him talk to Edith and offer her a ride. She slid her pistols out checking her ammo. both full cartrages she thought as she slid them back in. Keeping to the shadows and out of sight. She waited for the girl to mount his back and for them to head towards Will.

"right then, up we go then" chuckled tyler as he riped open the doors and placed her on his back "hold on tight and don't look down" he warned as he jumped into the shaft and transformed, climbing up the elavator shaft quickly.

She watched as he lifted her up onto his back and then transformed. Climbing up the shaft. Her golden eyes watching his dark form climb up past the open elevator shaft doors. She waited a few minutes, then moved forward. Changing as cracks and ribs could be heard throughout the room. Soon she stood in her large timber wolf form. A soft growl came from her muzzel as she lept forward. Her calws digging into the metal sides of the shaft. She looked up able to see perfectly in the dark. She could see the large figure of Tyler a few floors ahead. She slowly fallowed keeping her climb as quiet as she could as she fallowed them up the shaft.

Edith smirked and as the lycan placed her on top of his back, she gribbed his shoulder with her left hand since her right wrist had been fractured. Eden let out a light chortle and quickly reassured, "Don't worry, I'm not into falling down an elevator shaft because I'm not holding on tightly enough, nor do I desire to look down, scared of heights... somewhat..."
She was impressed at how smoothly and swiftly the lycan climbed the shaft with her upon his back, his ride was amazing with hardly any bumps. Eden was in good hands, she just had to make sure her own hand held out, or held on...

Sady was just behind the three as they started to climb up the shaft. Despite her small size, she had the strength of an ox. She climbed as fast as she could to keep up with them as Tyler transformed.
Well girl, this is the kind of thing you trained for....

She saw the figure of a girl climbing up behind her. looks like Iam not the only tag along she thought with a smirk as she continued to climb after them.

Smiling, truly smiling for the first time in days it seemed, Will reached up and gently brushed Lydia's tears away with his thumb. God, even here and now... She was still so beautiful looking to him. It was funny. Funny how one night, one single act could change your whole world. Before, Lydia was a close friend, possibly something sort of like a sister. Now she was his lover, partner, and in many ways his equal. And one thing he couldn't stand was to see her in tears over something she had no control over.
"Shhh. It's ok. It wasn't your fault, Lydia. I know you'd never betray the Hunters... would never betray me. I promise, it's going to be alright. And we're going to make that a*****e Mauser pay; we're right here in the middle of his operations, supposedly helpless. He'll never see the two of us coming. Now, I need you to focus for me, baby. Use your gifts. Send a message to Krii'Ouse and Rogue, let them know where we are, what's going on, and to bring everybody they can crashing down on this place like a flood. Can you do that for me, Lydia?"

Eden felt alittle bad, she was getting high-class treatment -- not having to climb at all -- while others were climbing just below them... Her wrist was fractured and useless for climbing, but she still felt guilty. But more so on her mind at the moment was what Krii was going to do with Kerri, alone... Damnit Edith, focus! You're here to kick this guy's a** for hurting Lyds and Will! After we find them of course...
Edith's grip slightly slacked and she slid down Tyler's back, quickly she re-gripped his shoulder as hard as she could without disturbing his climb by hurting him. "I'm sorry Ty, my left hand is kinda my defective one... Um, any scent of Will or Lyds yet?"

Hearing his voice, really being able to hear his voice without being trapped and bound, full of emotion and promising to make the Labcoat...no, promising to make Mauser pay made Lydia feel as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. Everything about Will soothed her fears and fixed whatever was wrong..."No, I could never betray you. I would die before that..." How could she betray him when he held her very heart in his hands? It would be easier to kill herself than to destroy what they shared.
When he spoke his plan, the psychic looked up, barely keeping surprise from her features. He had called her baby...he had never used a term of enderment before. It had always been her name before...her heart filled with warmth and a small smile so full of emotion worked its way onto her face.
"I can do that, Will. All that and more." Lydia responded, her eyes going white and wide as she activated her powers. First, an active scan for any nearby hunters, and there were a few. Gently going into the surface layer of their minds, the psychic left each of them with the knowledge of where she and Will were and how to get there, along with the knowledge that both of them were free.
Once that was done, Lydia stretched her powers almost to the limit, eventually finding both Rogue and Krii'Ouse. Opening her mind farther, she let her mental voice boom in their heads.
Will and I are in the High Rise District. Bring anyone and everyone you can to storm it, hunters, vampires, lycans, and demons. Bring anyone you can find who has been affected by what he has done. Bring every weapon you can carry as well. We want to smash this place into the gorund and leave nothing for Mauser, or anyone else, to be able to salvage. Come quickly, time is running out.
Letting her powers go, Lydia's eyes went back to normal. "It is done...there are some other hunters nearby, and I told them where we are and how to get here. I do not know how long it will take for them to get here, nor do I know how long it will take Rogue and Krii'Ouse to get here with who they are supposed to bring. Hopefully it will not be long. And..."
She paused, still unsure if she was going to be using this word correctly, but from all she had learned, it best described what she felt from what she knew of it (which was very little, unfortunately.)
"I...I love you, Will."

((NPCin Kerri till she's back, but only a little))
Krii'Ouse and Kerri arrived in the shining black Krii'Vette, Sethe's own batmobile. Killing the engine after he parked, he left the car, kerrigan along with him. The ninja trained Hunter ran up to Will, embracing his brother in tears. Holding the Leader tightly, he sobbed a few times.
He let go, regained composure, and slugged William in the arm. 'YOU b*****d!' he screamed. 'Don't EVER leave us like that again, you dumbass!' he laughed. 'Not without me! I want some action, too, you know!!!'
Kerrigan walked up next to them, and greeted Will as well.
The Lycan looked at Will sternly. 'I sent a message to the Hunters via HIN, telling them if they aren't here, they will be demoted. Hopefully, you or I don't have to hold to that promise.'
