Oliver picks the needle up, keeping it in his hand. "Yea, we'l w'at you expect in a dark tunnel?"
Wary of this new enemy, Oliver hunches low in a defensive posture. "I'm here for Beck, ye go'him down t'ere? Gonna be nice an'let him go wit me?"

"Sorry to say, but the answer is ::More needles are thrown at him:: no."

With a quick dart to the left, Oliver avoids the needles as he runs up the wall and flips back onto the ground.
"Nev'r make it easy." He states as he throws off his coat and scarf, exposing his bare torso. He flicks both his hands, like he would if throwing something to the ground, his long claws shooting with dagger like quality. The slowly, raises a hand and pulls down his goggles over his eyes.
He twirls the one needle in his hand. "Ye gonna 'ake me bleed?" He says with a grin, those platinum blue eyes resonating from the darkness. He charges then with unnatural speed, jumping to the wall and flying at the enemy, bringing his left claws sweeping at the target.

::However, his opponent ducks his attack, letting Oliver sail over him. He gets back to his feet:: "Didn't think I would see that coming? Unlike you Bermecician, I'm at home in the darkness." ::Oliver hears hand movements before hearing him:: "Ninja Art: Body Flicker." ::He dissapears from Oliver, only to appear behind him and knock him to the side with a punch::

Kamikazi's punch is returned with a sharp pain as Oliver's tail smacks itself into his knee. It hits like a bat swung at full force. Oliver recovers, propelling himself back off the wall and in a full body twist, sweeps at Kamikazi, his claws cut through the air like swords.
"Un'ike w'at ye t'ink. I'm not'o ordiary Burmecian."
Oliver lands in a low stance, eyes staring intensely at Kamikazi, like an animal ready to pounce. His eyes catching every movement and flinch. "Ye can s'ill back out, ye can."

"I have no intent on letting you take Beck back." ::He throws another senbon, but he strikes as Oliver dodges it, but grabs his tail and uses it to slam him to the ground before tossing him against one of the walls:: "Time to put you on ice, brat! Ninja Art: Arctic Dragon!" ::He expels a cold wave of air from his mouth that forms into a small dragon shape, aimed right at Oliver::

As Oliver dazily recoups for a moment, the Ice dragon hits him and in a strange turn of events, it appears to barely faze him. Oliver brushes off the bits of ice and frost as if it was more of an annoyance. He cracks his neck then goes prone.
"Ye got a'hell'of a breath mint t'ere but ye gonna have to do better."
Olive explodes at Kamikazi like a bullet but instead of directly attacking, he spins around him, throwing Kamikazi's own needle at him and then comes to a stop on the other side.
"Beck we't t'is way, yes? T'en I better get'oin." He salutes Kamikazi mockingly then jumps back and turns, taking off like a fleeing animal down the passage toward where Kami had come from.

::Kamikaze catches the needle, but watches as Oliver runs down the hall, a smirk on his face:: You'll be too late. Beck is already in another location, all I was to do was stall you. What you find at the end will be nothing. We'll meet again young one. ::He dissapears, leaving no trace of him ever being there.::

Oliver takes down the hall, bounding on all fours. He checks behind him periodically but sees nothing. Believing the assailant has given up the chase, he puts his nose to the ground and tries to follow the trail. After a few moments, it leads him to nothing, a blank wall. Desperately he sniffs the ground for any sign of Beck, it's there but faint.

::Iole bounds into the darkened corridor just after Kamikaze vanishes. Oliver hears her paws pad along the floor, but before he can actually turn, she plows right into him, knocking them both against the wall and Iole out of her wolf form, back into her human form::

Oliver shakes his head then rubs his forehead with a hand as he sits with her plowed into his chest. "Uh... Iole? Brakes. W'at you doin down here an w'ere's Sid?"

::Iole tries to re-orient herself::
I don't care... I mean behind me. We came in here looking for you after Connolly said they lost contact with you. Then Emily lead me here. Did you find Beck?

Oliver shakes his head no as he gets back to his feet, dusting off his pants and smoothing his fur. He helps Iole back to her feet.
"Na, trail jus'cuts off 'ight here. Scents faint too, dunno w'at t'ey did te him."
Sid meets them, running at a brisk pace. "Oh, there you are. No luck I take it?"
"Nah, jus'tel'in Iole."
"Hurt?"
Oliver shakes his head no, again.
Emily appears and lands on Oliver's shoulder then as Sid throws Oliver his clothes. "Get dressed, ve report back if there's nothing more here."

::Iole takes hold of Oliver's arm::
Wait, you mean we're giving up? We can't do that, the resistance depends on those tunnels, and Beck knows all of them. Not to mention how many of our men risked their necks or died out there. You want to go back and tell them it was for nothing?

Sid gives Iole a distant stare. "If you knov vhere they vent, then by all means, shov us."
Oliver looks to her. "I go'notin here. Scents dead."

"Is faint and t'eres no door or somet'in here, just ends." He replies turning back to the wall and gesturing to it. "Not'in, not even a loose stone."

::Iole pulls him behind her::
Both of you stand back.
::She inhales deeply through her nose, holding it in until the heat in her chest builds. Then with one sharp breath, she releases a fireball. The new opening she broke in the wall is just big enough for the three of them to slip through::

"Well, t'at works." States Oliver as he examines the hole.
Sid's expression is one showing satisfaction at the impressiveness of Iole's ingenuity. "That vorks." He approaches the hole and looks to its other side. "In ve go." he enters, ducking his head as he passes through.
"I got'a back, Iole." Oliver waits.

::Iole shrgs::
Please you two, I just made a door. Ollie did all the work finding this place.
::She moves in front, acting as the party's eyes::
Eyes of the Owl... I think I can make him out... and two others. They must not reveal this passage to just anyone. They're probably betting that the secrecy is enough to keep us from retrieving him. Should we rush them?
