Adrian follows late, having lagged behind in August's clinic for several minutes extra while the others fled for the docks. He arrives a few minutes after the others while they observe the situation at hand.
"Well, so how do we go about dealing with this lot? Are we even sure this isn't some trick of the mind again?"

I'm already there Eva. *Hears the plan and grins* You heard the girl Eva, time to draw some rats out of hidding. *Goes to draw his sword, but thinks better of it* "My fists and feet will be enough." he said to himself.

(OOC: Kenny, yes. You've actually been with Lillith, Rainii, Kerion, Adrian and Dante the entire time. Nice to see you're back)
::Beneath the floorboards, Iole whispers back::
I have no control over Lillith. She's going to see you regardless. Your best chance is to get to August before she does. But you're on your own on that one. Like I said, I won't be in any position to help.

If every telepath in our group is shielding us, Echidna shouldn't be able to touch us that way. She'll probably be a little more physical this time.
::The docks come into view as the ground group finally catches up to Eva and Jas::
Glad to see you two didn't start the party without us. Where's Iole?

"Lilly!" The group is startled when a voice calls out to them from the end of the road they had just left. Nurse Takano is sprinting towards them as best she can in her heels, her platinum blond hair hanging in a frenzied mess. She reaches the others, panting for breath. "I... I think I got knocked out. When I came too.... Oliver was gone. Is he here?"

::Eva's ring glowed green as an electric bow appeared in her hand as she aimed it towards the grown with a evil grin::
"Time to play....Tempest Rain!"
::She fired her arrow as the clouds around her quickly became back and soon nothing but electric arrows could be seen raining down from the clouds to the base::
"Firaga slash....."
::She quickly changed weapons from a bow to a sword as she swung it down into an arc as it fell behind the arrows hitting a part of the base causing a huge explosion::
"Time to go in with a bang...."
::She overheard Takano over the mirror before she growled a bit and gave a bit of a yell causing everyone to get a slight headache before punching the first victim that came into her view::
IOLE I SWEAR IF YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS YOU BETTER NOT LET ME FIND YOU!!!!!!!!

::With Eva's attack quickly smoking the rats out of their nests, gang members flee left and right. Eva can overhear the ones that she isn't beating to bloody unrecognizable lumps::
Hook 1: Get back here you spineless little pricks! Doc needs us to hold this place for him!
Hook 2: ::as he's fleeing with several others:: He didn't say anything about fighting heroes! We're out of here!
::As Eva ventures further and further into the base, she sees virtually no one around. She rounds one of the corners and finds it occupied. A creature almost impossible to describe creeps along the wall on its four legs, each with a two pronged foot. Its body is covered in bright colored fur of orange, green, and yellow. Its two red eyes seem dull, probably blind. But out of the fanged hole that serves as its mouth, she counts about ten forked tongues that swish back and forth in front of its face, probably serving as some sort of sensory system. Further down the hall are two more with similar colors, but all three have a unique pattern in their ostentasious fur::
::Meanwhile, back with August, Echidna hasn't left just yet::
Before I go, I want to know. Tell me, what will you do with the boy? The one that loved you that you used as your toy. You said it was nothing, he was only a gullible kid. But now and again you feel something for what you did. Is it remorse? Are you changing course?

What?
::Lillith grabs Takano by both shoulders::
Eva said something about not being able to... oh no. They're both in there! They're going to be killed if August and Echidna find them!

Um... ow @_@.
"Damn it!... let us hurry in there, then." He pulls out the cell phone and was about to dial... Talkie-walkie function, top right button on phone, use it. ... what? Just do it!
He uses it as he readies himself to head towards the base. "Eva, anything happening on your side? Found Iole and Oliver?"

*Before another could get the jump on Eva from behind, he finds himself sent flying into the wall via a right hook from Jas*

"Thanks Jas..."
::She looked at the strange creation in front of her as she frowned and readied her blade as the creature seemed to flick a few of its tongue in her direction::
"Well Dante...its kind of a bit hairy in there....."
::She cautiously moves sideways as the other creatures seem to take notice of her presence as well::
I haven't found them yet though knowing my lovable little sister more than likely she probably already found them....

::August gives Echidna a cold, fuming stare from behind those simple wire-frame glasses.::
That is not your concern, mad woman, I came here to do a job, collect the pieces and that is what I did. He just got in the way and I had to back-peddle, else that boy would of ruined everything with his ignorant and foolish sticking his snooty little rat nose where it does not belong.
::There comes another loud screech as August jumps from his seat in anger.::
All of them, worthless rabble, from Oliver to the very last plague-ridden rat in the gutter and I had to became their cursed savior for our ends. I feel dirty just knowing that I'll never get this layer of filth off of me no matter how much I detach myself from this place. And I will never feel remorse for what I did, they are nothing but lower animals and I was their butcher, that is the extent of my feelings for them. Now enough with these mad questions, get out there before they come knocking on the door!

::Echidna gives August one last puzzling glance, like a dog trying to figure out the puzzling behavior of her master. Then she curtsies politely and leaves through the door. Out in the hall, she falls face first on the floor and vanishes through the floorboards as easily as though they were water. Like a drill she speeds through the floor and resurfaces on one of the higher floors with a window that overlooks the street leading to the docks. She makes three of the remaining gang members jump when she bursts through the floor. She only smiles at them and returns her gaze out the window::
Watch the door, see no one comes in. Our playmates are here, I have a game to win.
::Out on the street where Lillith and the others are, several more of those monsters surface, swishing their horrible tongues back and forth. But these ones have different bodies. Instead of the four legged fuured ones, they have a plated shell with the same jungle shades of green and orange and yellow. Six red legs and two pincers, as well as a tail with a venomous stinger they have in their arsenal. They look very much like enormous colorful scorpions::

Damn.
::Lillith raises her blade again::
I'm going in for Oliver. Do you guys think you can handle these things? Be careful, Echidna can make as many of these as she wants. But Rainii, you should be able to sense her from out here and tell Eva and Jas how to get to her. Kenny and I are the fastest. We'll be able to get past them, and we know August better than anyone here. Rainii, Adrian, Dante, do you think you can hold your ground out here until Eva and Jas find Echidna?

::Meanwhile, back under the floorboards, Iole tugs Oliver's sleeve::
Please Ollie. Just help me find her in here first and then I promise you can come straight back here and do whatever you please to that man. I don't know how to find her though. I can't get into her head without risking her finding out where we are. Or Eva for that matter.

"Kay, kay. Stop tuggin, souns'ike shes'till above us." Oliver says as he places his hand over Iole's as he lowers it to her side. "Com'on, tis way."
Oliver squeezes past Iole and guides her to a spot where the docks utility tunnels sheer off to a straight drop, beside them is a ladder, leading up. Oliver points, indicating that up is where they need to go and swings over onto the ladder. A moments climb leads Oliver to the main dock-level, where the fighting is taking place. He helps Iole up, once he himself has gotten up and over and while staying low, he scans the scene. "See her, do ya?"

"We'll keep them occupied-" Adrian draws both his scimitars and drops into a fighting stance. "Get the child, Lillith!" He raises one blade into the air and runs forward towards the scorpions shouting, "Huj, Huj, Hajrá!"
One rears its venomous stinger and strikes the ground where Adrian stood, a cloud of stone and wood fly up, with a roll Adrian is safe, twists, turns and with a quick muttering of a firja spell, both his scimitars ignite as they slice through the carapace of the large scorpions tail.

::Iole emerges from beneath the floor with Oliver, dirt and grime covering her face and clothes, and her hair is tangled with cobwebs. She furrows her brows and thinks for a moment::
She's definitely close. I've never read so many conflicting feelings at once in a person. Not even Dante. I... I think she's above us in one of the higher floors. Is there a room up there that overlooks the street?
