Just down the hall from where Jade and Isa were enacting their escape plan, there was a small vent, just large enough for a person to squeeze through. The screws on the grate that blocked the vent off turned on their own, unscrewing themselves and falling out. The grate fell to the floor with a light clang, going unnoticed because of the commotion down the hall. Zephyr squeezed himself out of the vent and slowly got to his feet. He glanced around, and took out a pair of large daggers. He made his way to the nearby door. A large vault-looking security door, which was unmanned at the moment. Zephyr smiled at his good fortune and began working on the door, moving the internal locking mechanisms and everything else before pulling the door open with his powers. He smiled as the group of rebels on the other side came out of their hiding places. It was an entire platoon of rebels, all with specific orders to free any prisoners the empire had in the facility. Zephyr counted down in his head, and when he reached zero, there was a loud explosion that rocked the facility, setting off alarms in every sector. With that, Zephyr and his crew set off through the facility, freeing all the prisoners that were kept there.
Zephyr and a few other rebels headed down the hall to where Jade and Isa were. Zephyr immediately noticed Jade, as it was rare to see another Drago-Hume. The second thing he noticed was Isa, the small fox girl was being restrained by a few scientists. He motioned to the rebels with him and they took the guards by surprise, while Zephyr knocked a few of the scientists away from Isa. He knew he recognized her from somewhere before. He held her by the shoulders and told her, "Stay down and out of sight. you'll be out of here soon." And he quickly helped his team with the guards.

Jade noticed that Isa had been attacked. Damnit she thought to herself. Then soon she had heard an explosion as she was surprised that something like this would even happen. She then got up as she witnessed the turmoil...this was her chance to get away. As the machinery was destroyed, the collars became useless as Jade felt her strength begin to climb. She then took notice of Zephyr as she eyed. He was like her...she could feel it....
She then began to attack guards as well, helping the rebels as she began to run and thow guards. Teleporting she would hit her enemies mulitple of times even grabbing things like steel pipes and chairs to break over there head. She then began to focus as water was released, moving like a snake striking at the right moment to bring the demise of its prey. She had to find Cap though...he was still here right? She then began to run deeper into the facility to go and find him.
Ambrosia followed in under Zephyr's orders as she went to an area to free children who were detained here. A lot of the older kids helped move along the younger children once she broke them out. Everyone here would make perfect recruits for their organization. A few guards came towards Ambrosia as she reached for her steel fans as she pierced one man in his eye and slashing the throat of another man shortly afterwards, unlike Zephyr...Ambrosia wasn't one who was scared to kill. She then looked into her pockets to see three valves of a potion she had made the previous weeks as she took off towards where Zephyr and the others were at.

Ivan nodded and took what she offered eating quickly so it didn't arouse suspicion, he never questioned Calisto's actions anymore, she always saw her plans through no matter what happened, Ivan could handle a being considered a mad man for now, "ill stay on him for as long as you need me to Calisto," he said when a loud noise was heard coming from another sector.
--------------------------------------
Despite Isa's size she did manage to break free from two of the scientists before they had her restrained, a shutter through the facility caught many off guard and Isa was confused as the scientists were suddenly pulled off of her, struck down and a large man wrapped his arm around her shoulders telling her to get down, ears nearly flat against her skull in fear and confusion she nodded to him without saying anything the collar short circuited and fell off after the explosion and Isa suddenly felt less claustrophobic.

Zephyr appreciated the help that the other Drago-Hume offered before she sped off further into the facility before he could protest. "Damn it, where the hell is she going?" Zephyr finished off the rest of the guards when Ambrosia arrived. He quickly gave her new orders, "Head down that way and free the people down there, I'll stay here and make sure reinforcements don't get anywhere." Zephyr gave a few orders to his other soldiers who followed Ambrosia down the hall towards the wing of the facility that Cap was in. Zephyr looked around and since he didn't see any of the guards, he moved over to the familiar Fox Hume that he had helped. Sighing lightly, he removed his Jacket and put it around her, smiling and saying, "You okay Isa? You probably don't remember me. We met once, about seven years ago... in the underground." He smiled and twirled one of his knives before putting it away and wrapping a comforting arm around her. He smiled and said, "Everything's going too be okay, we're here to rescue everyone from this place." The rebels had cleared most of the facility up to that point, and were moving further in, clearing out the guards as they went, so Isa and Zephyr were behind the "front lines" of the battle at that point.
======
Cap groaned lightly as he awoke to his body being repaired by a healer. They were stepping up the speed of their processes, Cap figured they'd be doing this every day at this rate. There was a shudder through the facility as the explosives went off, and the guards escorted the healer out, leaving Cap half healed. " I suppose half is better than not at all... what the hell was that though?" It wasn't long before the alarms started going off and the guards ran down the hall fighting rebels. Cap groaned and sat up in his bed, wondering what all the ruckus was, but knowing he wouldn't be able to get out of his room from the inside. He rested with his back up against the wall, knowing he wouldn't be much use in a fight in this condition, but figuring he'd help however he could if he was successfully freed.

Calisto looked at Ivan and into the distance as she heard the chaos. "Here take this..." she said handing him a small sphere. "You'll be able to keep in contact with me and vice versa...." she stated to him. "I have to go!!!" she said as she ran off to go see what was going on.
Jade continued to look for Cap but where would they have kept him. She ran towards a door that she opened. It was just a storage closet. "Damnit" she cursed to herself. She turned around as marching could be heard soon. She looked up to see a vent as she looked up. Looking upwards she teleported into the vent as she landed with a thud. She began to crawl as she began to peek out of different vents. The people who ran this place were sick and inhumane. As she continued to crawl she looked out a vent where she saw Cap. She then teleported but ended up in a different room. It looked like a boiler or engine room. She looked around searching for a door as a light was shined on her. Several purge soldiers looked at her as they cocked there guns.
Jade's eyes grew as she couldn't possibly take all of them on by herself, looking around she tried to see if she could just up and run. Raising her hands up in a surrendering manner she inhaled deeply waiting to except her fate, when she heard a scream.
A steel fan had just cut through the torso of one of the soldiers as it made its way back to its owner Ambrosia like a boomerang. Staring at the drago-hume she couldn't believe the girl was that willing to give up. The other soldiers then focused on Ambrosia as she ran past the bullets as they zoomed past her head barely missing her. Removing part of her mask she opened up her mouth and let out a supersonic scream as bullets were thrown off their track and a few soldiers were knocked back.
Jade took this time to take out a few soldiers herself, breaking the arms of two soldiers and blinding three other ones. She didn't know who Ambrosia was but she was helpful. Jade then took off down a dark corridor as she was now closer to Cap's location. "Cap...Cap!!! Are you here?!?!?!?" she asked.

Taking the device Ivan was not sure where he would hide it and blinked as Calisto suddenly left, a nod and he was left to his own devices again, he could hear his neighbor in the cell over and slowly climbed closer, "Jail break?" he asked considering this place to be as much a jail as it was an asylum/concentration camp "about time" he mumbled having his whole heart behind the last statement, even though he would not go against his master's orders he would still hate such facilities, hopefully his sister wasn't in one of these places.
-----------------------------------------
his coat was dropped over her shoulders and she shivered as she drew the cloth closet to her body, seen as more of animals than hume by these scientist they had not provided either of the girls with any subtle garments instead covering them in hospital gowns while they were locked up. "Rescue? you mean you are the rebellion?" she watched as several of the free clothed rebels obeyed his orders without question."you are looking for more people to follow you aren't you?" she asked not quite remembering him from ten years ago, she was very grateful for the Jacket though, "i hope Jade is okay"

Cap groaned as he managed to get to his feet, holding his arm across his ribs, which had most likely been fractured if not completely broken. He stumbled to the door, groaning lightly as he tested it. It was locked, but the window was open and Cap could stick his arm through. Cap winced as he reached down into his jacket and pulled out a thin pin that he used for lock-picking and stuck his arm through the window. He winced as he had to stretch further than his body would have liked to reach the lock. It was difficult to say the least, and Cap couldn't even see what he was doing. After a bit more fiddling with thee pin, Cap heard a click, and sighed; he had unlocked the door. He retracted his hand and opened the door, wincing slightly as his ribs felt strained. He took the pin from the lock and looked around, the guards were all gone apparently busy dealing with whatever was going on. He limped out of the room and leaned against the wall, sighing lightly and taking a rest; he wasn't going to be able to get out of here on his own.
Cap looked around to see if there was anything that could help him escape; and there was; a small guard station just down the hall. He limped over to the window, glancing inside carefully to see if anyone was there. Seeing no one, Cap opened the already unlocked door and snuck inside. Inside the guard station was a control panel for the various cells in this particular hallway, a locker with a few weapons in it; most had already been taken by the guards apparently, a few CCTV monitors and the camera controls, and finally, a locker with a briefcase in it that Cap recognized; it was his case full of guns. Cap grabbed it and opened it up, not surprised to find it mostly empty, except for his blade and his pistol. Cap took them both and grabbed the remaining guns from the weapons locker, putting them in the suitcase and closing it up. He set the case aside for a moment and turned to the controls for the cells. He looked them over for a moment then flipped a few switched, opening all the cell doors in the guard post's area. He smiled lightly and grabbed his briefcase, limping out of the guard room and heading back down the hallway, towards Ivan's cell. He winced and leaned against the wall again; even with the weapons, he wasn't in any shape to get out of the prison alone. He rested there for a bit, trying to think of how he could get out as the few prisoners there were passed by him running for the exit.

Ivan watched Cap silently surprised that the man was able to get out so easily even as injured as he was. "handy with tools aren't you?" he said moving to the bars as Cap leaned up against them for a rest, " you don't look very good my friend, the guards are bound to come back at any moment" he said freezing the lock on his own cell and then stepping back to give the door a hard and swift kick to break the locks before sliding it back along the runners. "do you know how to get out of this place?"

Calisto arrived at the scene of the rebellion as she frowned. Damnit she thought to herself. She then focused on her abilities utilizing her hair power to entrap some of the rebels. Slamming them into the walls she released them as her hair returned to normal lengths. She then began to emit a sound that was so high pitched that it was beginning to bend metal. Some of the rebel soldiers began to fall out as she searched for the leader.
Ambrosia began to follow Jade. As she followed her remained silent as Ambrosia finally saw Cap and Ivan. "Jade...this way" she told her as they made their way towards the prisoners. "Cap, Jade, Ivan...if you want to live you'll follow me. My name is Ambrosia and we're the one's who are breaking you out" she said with a smile. "I'm a witch so I can get us out of here safely..." she said as she began to work on a spell. Once she came up with it, she looked at them. "Unseen forces give us a hand, an exit from where we stand" she said as they were surrounded in green light. As they were teleported into an airship. "Zephyr the leader of our group will be here shortly" she told them. "IF you have any questions please let me know" she said as she stood and waited for a response.
Zero soon went into his home as he changed into some more street presentable clothing. Leaving he began to go into the old downtown district in The Old City. In the short time he had been living here most of the people there were pretty cordial to him. He stopped as he saw on projection screens that one of the Purge Facilities had been compromised. He looked up as he was at a stand as he was ordering food. "Um...yea...I'd like Marring Special" Zero said as he looked at the screen. PURGE he thought to himself. What was that about? As his order was finishing up he grabbed it and continued to walk the streets ,probably to people watch and to find a place to eat with a nice view.

Zephyr put his hand to his communicator, as a message was coming through from one of the ships they had outside the prison; most of the prisoners had been freed and were already on board. Zephyr smiled and decided he needed to put the next phase of the plan into action. He stood up straight and grabbed a passing rebel. "Take this girl to one of the ships, make sure she gets out safely." The rebel nodded and led Isa out of the prison, still wearing Zephyr's jacket. He smiled to himself and brought out his two daggers, twirling them in his hands before heading off down the hallway to the main control room of the complex. He ran into a few guards along the way but quickly cut them down. As he ran along he noticed a few cells with corpses in them, badly disfigured and smoking from what Zephyr could tell. He wondered what the hell could do that when he reached the control room for the entire prison. He looked over the various control panels and pulled a few switches, unlocking and opening the rest of the cells in the prison, and his rebels escorted them out. Zephyr smiled and put his hand to his communicator again, getting a status update on the prisoner's safety; almost everyone was out, only a few guards and rebels remained in the prison. Zephyr smiled and placed an explosive charge on the control panel, turning and leaving. The other rebels had placed more charges at key points throughout the facility, and when all the prisoners and rebels were out, they would detonate them; destroying the facility and ensuring that no one could use it again. Zephyr ran down the hallway, making his way back towards the exit, where the transports were waiting.
======
Cap chuckled and winced lightly; it hurt to laugh. He smiled and replied to Ivan, "Yeah... tends to help every now and then... Not sure how to get out, but I'm assuming if we go in one direction long enough we'll get out somehow." As soon as Cap finished speaking Jade rounded the corner with another woman, who looked like she was a member of the rebels. Cap didn't have time to protest as the woman teleported them out of the facility and into an airship, most likely one of the transports they were leaving on. Of course, Cap didn't exactly have much time to ponder, as he winced and started to fall over. The teleportation hadn't helped his injury much.

Isa watched silently as more of the rebels rushed past them either escorting prisoners to safety or moving in to take out more guards and help more of the escapees, she was surprised when the green haired leader asked one of the rebels out and flinched as the man nodded and reached for her, "wait I-" she wanted to protest before another woman grabbed her hand and pulled her away and she watched as Zephyr continued, what are you thinking! he has his own duties to do! she thought shaking her head and following the woman who was helping her out, I just wanted to make sure Jade was okay... she thought as she was ushered into one of the awaiting transports that was quickly filling up, "we are going to have to take off," the pilot shouted at the rebel with her and the woman nodded, "lets get who we have out of here!" the woman agreed and Isa grabbed her shirt, "what about your comrades" she shouted over the roar of the helicopter blades, "who Zephyr? he will make it he always does, besides the last chopper is still here, they will be out befor eyou know it" the woman laughed and settled Isa into one of the awaiting seats, "buckle up! this could be a bumpy ride!"
----------------------------------------------------------
Ivan was shocked as more people came around the corner, and expected to have to fight guards when he recognized the woman he had grabbed for Calisto. holding his breath he hoped she did not recognize him, thinking quickly of an excuse if she did before the world suddenly buckled underneath them and he stumbled once the teleport was over, Noticing Cap start to fall as well he quickly reached for the injured man, using his momentum to carry both of them back into a standing position, "woah there buddy, it seems you are still in a bad shape" he chuckled slightly as he heard another transport beginning to take off, "how many of these ships do you guys have!?" he asked the witch with his mouth slightly open in surprise, this is like a full scale attack, Calisto wont be happy... he thought wondering how the other woman had known his name.

Ambrosia took off her mask to reveal the rest of her face as she smiled at everyone. When Cap fell over she called over a few people with healing abilities as well as they would bandage him up as well, their abilities could only do so much. "There were over 1,000 prisoners I believe in there...so we have quite a few, more than five I know" she said replying to Ivan. "Get him to the medical wing" she said to the healers regarding Cap.
Jade was a little taken by the elegance of the airship. IT was something she wasn't use to seeing, it was so...technological. When Cap fell over she looked at him as she ran towards him. When the healers arrived and proceeded to take him to the medical area, Jade followed. "Thank you, I really do mean it but I have to go with him" she said to the rest of the rebels as she followed them to the medical area.
Calisto couldn't believe that this much carnage had taken place. She immediately ran towards the science wing. There were things that she needed to get. She pressed a button where a pen pad came upwards as she inputed the security code as a hatch had opened and 3 vials were removed. She then typed on the computer as a small disk was released. Putting all of these on her person she began to run, following the rebels that were still straggling behind. Taking another route she soon saw Zephyr and cut him off. By his appearance he seemed to be the leader but she could be wrong. "So are you responsible for what's going on right now?" she asked curiously.

Zephyr skidded to a halt when the woman stepped in front of him and cut him off. He knew instantly that something was up; she wasn't one of his soldiers, and she certainly didn't look like a prisoner, that leeft only two things, an empire purge agent or a scientist, and she didn't really look like the science type. He had his daggers ready to strike, but didn't move just yet, he wanted to see what the woman would do first. "And who's asking? You aren't one of my soldiers, and you certainly aren't a prisoner here... I don't think you're a scientist... but you don't look like a typical purge agent... Who are you?"

Calisto observed Zephyr and smirked slightly. "MY name is Calisto and I help run this facility" she admitted. Staring at him she saw that he had his weapon drawn. Now she was for certain he was the rebellion leader. Looking at the escape hatch she opened it as the air from the outside acted like a vacuum sucking her out of the ship as she began to be thrown around in the air. As the sun shined her body turned dark as fire surrounded her. She was utilizing her ability over solar energy. As she gained control of her body she flew upwards, releasing waves of solar energy towards several ships as the hit targets began to burn.
As they approached the medical wing, Jade looked around, it wasn't as big as she thought it would be. Soon two more healers came towards Cap as they began to chant and a golden aura surrounded Cap. Jade was fascinated by what she was seeing. She sat in her chair as the process continued. Once the healers were done, the head healer smiled and reassured Jade that Cap would be alright. Jade closed her eyes realieved as she rubbed Cap's head. She was just glad he was alive. Soon she heard a loud explosion as she wondered what it was, she ran towards a window as she saw a ship not too far from theirs had exploded.

Zephyr swore mentally when the woman identified herself, he had to make sure to give the guards a good long stint of cleaning the ship from top to bottom for letting her on. When she opened the door, Zephyr grabbed onto one of the nearby pipes to prevent being sucked out. He swore again and waited till the particular area of the ship had pressurized before letting go. he made his way to the door and swore loudly as he saw one of the ships explode. The woman had abilities, which begged the question as to why she was working for the purge. But Zephyr didn't have time for that, he needed to do something about the woman first. Thinking quickly he grabbed is radio and switched the frequency to the channel that the bridges of the airships were broadcasting on, "Attention all ships! We have an emergency! Target the woman in the center of our formation with the ships side guns, divert power from the forward cannons and to the engines, we need to get out of here!"
Zephyr clicked off the radio before looking out at the woman and at the wreckage of one of the ships, he took a deep breath and steadied himself before using his powers. He took hold of the flaming metal wreck and pulled it, pulled it and shifted the air currents behind it to push it further along. He was going to try to hit Calisto with the ship. At the very least it would provide a distraction for the woman. The ships began firing at the woman, and Zephyr's radio buzzed with chatter about fires and other damage to the hulls of the ships. But Zephyr wasn't paying attention, he could only concentrate on moving the large wreckage at Calisto. The wreckage had now gained a decent amount of speed, moving at around 60 miles an hour towards Calisto. The size of the flaming ship prevented Zephyr from moving it very quickly through the sky, but it was worth a shot.
