The pokeballs that had been returned so far- the ones the rescuing Rockets had brought with them- were interesting. Tambrey had had to think about who was inside; Palu of course... Ella- she remembered Ella being left on the floor of the museum and then.... The only other one left behind in the museum. Yes, probably best to keep that one in particular shut for now anyway.
She tried to just direct the pony-pokemon toward the cell door and out. And then where ever they were supposed to be going. Just being out of the cell was good.
Her eyebrows raised when the ponyta had snuffled at her.
"If you faint I will be offended."
And then alarms were going off.
Frak.
She looked back at her pokeballs.

Loud alarms going off were not good. Being told they had to leave as soon as possible wasn't either.
Rory looked at Pinkie who had Shadow on her back. Her own weight caused enough problems with her leg, how would she run carrying the young grunt? Maybe he would come to and be able to run on his own?
Pinkie looked at him with a glare in her eyes that Rory had never seen before. She huffed slightly and nodded her head. She would do this.

Sonata snorted and shook her head, her fiery mane snaking back and forth from the movement. Luckily for Tambrey, her support wouldn't faint just from unpleasant smells, and just as luckily moved on her own without any direction from the injured girl. It wasn't hard to play follow the leader, after all, just so long as she didn't have to be the leader.
Inigo ran after Star and the two agents back to the brig, recalling Leilani as he did so. Oi carajo, this wouldn't end well, he was sure... Well, best to be prepared, yeah? With that thought in mind, he pulled out two pokeballs as he hurried after the group, the light from which morphed into a pair of Whimsicotts. Thankfully they both recognized the urgency of the situation to know to behave - at least towards the Rockets and each other - and bounced after Inigo. Any Galactics that showed up would be another matter entirely.

TRP ran around, helping up anyone who needed aid. She summoned Axel and gestured at the charizard, "Help anyone who can't walk!"
Star stepped from foot to foot, looking like he was debating between running off on his own and the benefit of being in a strong group, "Hurry!!"
Though Lore wished he could help support his more injured teammates, he was finding it hard enough to walk himself. After the beatings, lack of food and sleep, doing much of anything was difficult. Running on adrenaline now, he made his way to the door with the others, Espresso and Cappuccino close behind.
When Rockets started pouring into the hall Star made a mad dash for the maintenance door and yanked on it.
It didn't open.
He gasped and yanked again, "The ship's gone into lockdown mode.." He muttered breathlessly, "The maintenance halls are sealed.."
TRP looked up from counting Rockets, "Where's the nearest exit?"
"The.. the.. uh.." Star was on the verge of hyperventilating.
"Sager!"
"The hangar!" He looked down the hall.
"Lead the way. And stay together."

Claire; of course!... She hadn't come? Faleen had come for Hayes. Frost had come for Xander. Maybe she just hadn't signed up in time or maybe.... Aulus blinked and focused on Alba again. "Yea," he replied hesitantly, "I... guess she will be." He didn't have time to think about her at the moment though, he had to get Alex out of here and -
- And then there were alarms.

Frost pursed his lips. "Oh well that's just perfect." Keeping pace with Xander Frost headed after Star, presumably towards the hanger. As an afterthought he drew his pistol and released the safety; it wasn't as though they had the element or surprise anymore so there was no need to concern himself with stealth.

Xander gave Frost a brief sheepish look though he knew the comment wasn't really directed at him angrily like it sounded. He moved with Frost and kept Zack's pokeball at the ready while Conrad moved to his side.

Aulus paled visibly at Star's words - wait, what was that guy even doing here? - and turned to Alex. "Just keep behind me... or in front of me, or whereever the Galactics aren't. I'm not letting them hurt you again." This time he wouldn't lose, couldn't lose. He was getting his partner out in one piece no matter what the cost.
Hayes' eyes widened as his heart made an unpleasant leap in his chest. He didn't say anything - just looked around, prompted by some lingering sense of responsibility. Seeing that everyone who'd been on that ill-fated first mission was being helped, he gave a short nod to Aulus and moved out of the cell at what tried to be a purposeful walking pace.
Aulus wasted no time in following after his partner with his pokemon in tow; he was alert for danger, but not sure what he could do if it turned up. Standing up too fast had made him dizzy, and crouching down then standing back up had hurt his ribs. He would do something though, he would have to, because if he couldn't then... then.... He couldn't even face the idea of it. He had to get Alex home safe.
A lack of hovering partner made Hayes pause, look around, then start to turn back. "Hey, are you-?"
"I'm fine," Aulus insisted as he came up beside him, "Keep moving, I've got your back...." Locked. The door was locked. They had to run to the hanger. Aulus set his jaw and clappsed Alex on the shoulder. "Just keep going, I'm here with you."
As the team turned and headed after Star Aulus focused on sticking with his partner, and on ignoring the pain coming from his ribs.

Everything happened so fast that Shaodw hardly registered what was going on. Pokemon attacks swept aside the Galactic guards in a matter of minutes before another portion of the team was quickly lead away to find the rest of the taken pokemon. Shadow could scarcely believe it. He thought his legs would give way under him; he was so grateful. Would they finally get to go back to base? Back to their home...?
"R-rory?" Oh, how good it was to see a familiar face that wasn't in pain or helplessly stuck in the cell with him. It had been ages since he'd seen the other Rocket. "Hey, girl," he said weakly to the familiar pink ponyta, but he realized she still seemed a little unsteady. The teen looked to the blonde grunt. "Arceus, it's so damn good to see you both. I'm fine though; just a little shaky. You don't need to carry me."
If there was one thing he knew how to do, it was run. And as unhurt as he was, he was probably in the best shape for it out of all he fellow captured Rockets. "Do...you think you could possibly help Lore out, Pinky? Maybe give him some support? He doesn't look so good."
As he glanced back to check on their executive, Jerome Shadow by surprise and thrust a pokeball into his possession. "B-but - what - who's - ?" There must have been some mistake. He didn't remember having any pokemon to be returned to him. Except maybe the ones he had been borrowing from Nakura, but those were supposedly still in Galactic storage and were in different types of balls. There was no time for questions now, though. Thrusting the pokeball into his pocket, he decided he'd figure things out later. Right now they just needed to get out alive.

"Hey, man," Rory greeted Shadow with a grin. It was good to see him up and ready to go. When he said that he was fine, the blond relaxed a bit before nodding at the suggestion that Pinkie go help out Lore.
"Go on," Rory motioned for her to go over to the executive.
"Ta!" she cried before walking over to the guy Rory pointed her to.

Alarms!? Great, just what they needed!
Seeing as Hayes and Aulus were doing alright at managing themselves, Alba started moving around the group of injured. He helped Arcadie as needed, and checked around to make sure everyone else was able to keep moving and not falling behind.

Everyone looked like they were getting the held they needed, so Faleen helped keep watch. hurrying with the group to exit the way they came... only the way they came was locked.
She hesitated, her eyes widening as it sunk in that they were in the middle of an enemy HQ in Lockdown. This was not good.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It hurt to move, every step he took sent shocks on pain through his bones. But that didn't stop him from keeping up.
Bro was there to help Jerome along if he needed it. holding onto the man's arm that was draped across his bulky form.

"Thanks.." Lore nodded, accepting Pinkie's help as he and the others started running/hobbling down the hall past the locked maintenance door.
Once everyone was out TRP hurried after Star, ensuring the frightened Galactic didn't leave them behind while looking over her shoulder to ensure the others were following. "C'mon people! As fast as you can!"

Inigo hovered between Tambrey and Alba, wanting to make sure Tam was alright - at least Sonata had her - but also wanting to make sure his roommate was alright and keeping up. It had only been a month, after all, and he didn't believe for one minute that the older grunt was completely over his injuries. Speaking of, he hadn't abandoned that cane, had he...? He'd damn well better not have; he didn't bring it all the way here just for Alba to leave it somewhere. Oh well, it was too late now even if he had, there was no time to go back, only time (barely) to press forward as fast as they could.
Sonata sensed the urgent tones in all the voices and it made her nervous, but she didn't spook. She did pick up her pace though, but slowly; she had no intention of losing her charge due to her increased speed.

All this time, the wild Haunter lingered in the back, staying generally out of the way. He watched as pokemon helped their trainers round up their comrades and aid those who needed assistance in transportation. As it was, the ghost and poison-type couldn't do much in helping others relocate. It still seemed cautious about the Rockets. However, it finally settled on taking some initiative and levitating up toward the front, where Star was. If they were attacked head on, at least he could provide some help in a counter-attack.
