Welcome to Gaia! ::

Cyprus followed her quietly, down the corridor.

Cyprus just kept staring at Saria. Half admiring her beauty and the other half waiting for the right direction.

Cyprus still followed her quietly but swiftly.

Saria went to the right and down a narrow hallway. immediatly to her left there was a narrow set of stairs that seemed to lead to a dead end. She was about to turn around and look elsewhere when a sharp, dagger-like pric stabbed into her hand and burned up her arm with the heat. As soon as it began it left. Saria turned around and went down the stairs onto the narrow landing, peering along the walls.

Orial suddenly apeared and seemed to disapear into one. She looked at the cold seemingly cold concrete. There was a seem all the way around as if there was a door there. Saria looked around to try and find some way through it, feeling along the wall. Orial came back through the wall and whined quietly as Saria tried to find away to pass.

( Thanks Emilio )

She could smell it as well. that sickening stink of death wafting through the stairwell. "Then we should go down and find out what the hell happened." Though she maintained that calm, cool somposure she always had in battle, her mind immediately grabbed ahold of a single thought: if that smell was Lydia she would rip Mauser's head off of his shoulders herself.

This is why she brought the weapons she was deadliest with. When their stealth failed them, they would need all the fire power they could get. And if Kerrigan got mad enough, she could probably bring the building down herself if she had her magnums, sans the fact that her vampiric personality was growing increasingly aggressive.

Placing a hand on Krii's shoulder, she pulled him back, whispering into his ear, "There are others here. Somewhere in the building. Cant tell if they are friendly or not though. Did the other elders send anyone else to this building? Last thing we need is to shoot the wrong people." She could smell their blood, almost feel it as it coursed through their viens. Judging by the smell, they werent all human however...they might even be tainted.

Krii'Ouse sent a message to Neko's phone, asking if she'd sent anyone in to find Lydia. *Sent a message to Neko.* he thought to her. *Just think to me, darling, more quiet than speech.* He continued on, sliding down the wall, and landing quietly on the bottom of the stairway. His coat made a light swooshing sound as it recomposed itself.

Peeking around a corner, he spotted a living guard. Drawing out three shuriken, he let them loose. The guard was heavily armoured, and two of the shuriken reflected off of his armour, while the third hit his thigh. 'The Hell?!' the guard called.

*s**t.* he thought to Kerrigan. He spun around the corner, and charged at the guard, whom brought an XM8 rifle to bear. Releasing three semi-automatic shots, normal rounds, they pierced into Krii'Ouse's body, blood spilling from two holes in his arms. The third bullet bounced off of his own armour. The ninja was undaunted, and continued his charge.

Leaping up, he landed three feet behind the guard, his body spewing blood. The body split two, from the shoulder to the waist. *Don't worry, baby. I'm okay.* His Lycan blood wafted through the air to Kerrigan's nostrils.

Saria felt around and found a slot where a key card went, and a rectangular panel in the wall under it that she assumed opened with the key card and had other obsticals. She sighed in angry frustration and tried to think of what to do next. She was so very close... She unknowingly leaned on Cyprus, and she didn't notice his arms wrap around her stomach, so deep in concetration on the problem at hand she was. She needed help.

Cyprus looked at the wall focusing on it to see if he could try something. He had his arms wrapped around Saria and he was still focusing on the door. "Key card locks have electrical seals on them. They operate electronically.", he thought to himself. Its times like these he looked back, while learning in high school recently since he decided to take a few classes for modern day use, he wished he took computer class instead of cars. Oh well there was a downside to everything. He let go of Saria for a minute and let his claws come out. He stabbed staright into the card Key seal on the door and ripped it and the cords out of the wall. The wall suddenly sliding to the side and opening wide.
