((I'm lucky I can even get my net up for a few minutes at a time. I'm really rushing all these))
Through the door, they come upon a room with three people in it. A Guard, a well dressed man with a surgical mask holding a tooth drill, and Oliver in the center, strapped to a chair.
The Guard and well dressed man, look to the door stunned and surprised.
"Ki'l t'em an' get me out'a here!" Oliver yelps out with a bloody mouth.

::Kerion takes aim and fires, but Kamikaze breaks away causing his shot to miss::
Kamikaze: Two against one, try this ::He lifts the lower part of his mask up pass his lips:: Ninja Art: Ice breath!
::Ice fires from his breath, but Kerion is already prepaired by pulling his Punisher out and loading the red round::
"Fire shot!" ::The flames melt the ice before it reached them, leaving an opening for Nyx::

::Iole's teeth grind together when she sees the man with the drill moving in for Oliver, and seeing Oliver with blood dripping out his mouth, spilling onto the soft gray fur that she had only wanted to feel between her fingers again. That same rage she had dreamed about that night on the cot is threatening to overtake her again. She growls an order to Violette before she loses all her senses::
Violette, get Ollie.
::The guards beside Oliver's torturer raise their guns, but before they even have their fingers on the trigger, she's at their side with her dragon claws out, her pale scales spreading all the way up her shoulders, tearing the sleeves of her coat to ribbons with the change. She slices the men's gun barrel's in half, letting their ends clang to the ground. Then she has what's left of the first gun in her hand after snatching it from her assailant. She slams the butt of the broken gun into the first man's head and swings it into the second one's stomach. She abandons the broken weapon and kicks the man sharply between the legs and grabs his collar to throw him into his partner. Both of them are thrown off their feet and hit the wall hard before falling to the ground, their heads hitting the prison floor with a sickening thud. The man with the drill watches in horror, raising his instrument in a sad attempt to stay the girl who's coming at him with her teeth bared. She backhands the drill from his grasp and swings her hand back across his face. The force of the blow knocks him down. He tries to scramble to his feet, fighting the dizziness in his head, but Iole's already on top of him with one hand on his collar. Oliver can see her ball her claws into a fist before she brings it down hard on his face. He sees her with her mouth open, but no words come out. Just snarls and growls like a wild animal in the grip of a rage he's never seen her in before as she brings her fist down again and again into the man's face. He tries to scream, but now he's choking on his own blood::

::Meanwhile, Nyx leaps through the flames, using her blade to cut the air to allow her pass through the could of fire. She hefts the blade at the last moment, striking Kamikaze with the hilt in his throat. Then she vanishes the blade, using her knuckes to strike the nerves in his shoulders and his legs while he's still stunned. His limbs go limp and he drops to the roof like a rag doll::

::A dull crash is what they heard. But when Kerion went to see if he was dead, he found the body gone::
Kerion: And why am I not surprised he's gone?

Nyx: He's gone for now. But... why did you come back? You had no reason to be here. Your daughter is safe, and could have been far away by now. And you knew I'd likely kill you if I saw you again. But you... helped me?

"Let's just say I'm here to set things right." He replied as he put his Punisher away.

"And that's what makes me unique." He replied with a smile. "Besides, I heard the fighting on my way to the Regent's palace. I figured something was going on, and you know the rest."

::He takes a quick look before pulling out what appears to be clay:: "I was going to make a back door for the LPA into the palace. I still can get into the palace because those there don't know I switched alliegences."

::Meanwhile, in the basement, Violette has unstrapped Oliver from the chair. But Iole is still pounding the man's face in. Three of his teeth lie on the ground beside his head. His struggles are growing less effective and Oliver can see in her eyes that it doesn't look like she'll stop until he's dead. It's strange and alien to see Iole full of so much hate, twisting her face into something that's not her anymore::
(OOC: In case you didn't get the hint, please stop her)

((Maybe my net will hold for a bit))
"Rattie!" Violette squeals as she hugs Oliver tightly, but Oliver pushes her away.
"Not now." Oliver then turns and grabs Iole by her shoulder, pulling her off the dead man. "Iole! S'op! He's a'ready dead."
Violette looks over the dead body, cringing, then looks to Iole, then back to the dead man, looking very disgusted. "A woman's wrath..."

(OOC: Yikes, what's going on on your side?)
::Iole snaps her head around, looking at Oliver with those same angry eyes. But when they meet his, the anger fades slowly. Her arms change back and she slumps down, burying her head into his chest, crying out apologies between sobs that shake her slight frame::
I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to... I didn't mean to...

Oliver hugs her, patting her back.
"Is ok, is ok." He says, holding her. "I wan'ed to do t'e same." He steps back, his hands on her shoulders. "We can't s'ay here any'onger, if Alicia comes down here, we're dead. Who e'se is here?"

::Iole's breathing is quick and shuddering as she tries to get control of herself again::
Nyx should be getting Sid out right now... I can get us out of here through the sewers.
::She reaches for his mouth and touches it gently::
I'm sorry. This was all my fault.
(OOC: Off to work for now)

Oliver takes her hand and lowers it. "No, I got'into t'is myse'f, but no 'ime to ta'k. We got'o get go'in."
"Ollie's right, have your reunion when we're on the right side of the front." Violette interjects, checking her gun's magazine. "Let's roll."

::Iole nods to Violette, taking a second to wipe her eyes, keeping them purposely averted from the men on the floor::
The sewer's right below us. You two get behind the doorway.
::Once Oliver and Violette are outside the room, she takes a position at the edge. Flames roar from her mouth, heating the center of the floor. The chair Oliver was strapped to melts, as do the man's tools. The bodies along the edge begin to char and stink something awful. When the ground is heated enough, Iole steps over where she centered the fire. Her arm changes back to its dragon form. She brings it down in a well executed punch, shattering the floor beneath her. When the dust from the rubble clears and Oliver and Violette poke their heads back inside, they see a black chasm where Iole was just standing, and the sound of running water accompanied with the stench of raw sewage fills the air. A flapping sound announces Iole gliding up with her wings to see over the edge of the pit::
Come on down.

Oliver grabs Violette and together they both jump down, landing with ease below. They wait for Iole to flutter down, then take off down the sewer.
"Iole, ye 'now w'ere ye're going? I'm not even sure w'ere I am. T'ey b'acked bagged me..." His voice trails off there and Iole can recall how Ollie would speak about the 'black bags' that were put over the heads of his friends before being dragged away to be shot or simply to disappear.
"W'ere's Sid?" He asks, changing the subject.

::Meanwhile, Sid is grabbed from behind, but before he can counter, he hears Nyx's voice::
Nyx: Time to go.
::Then the two of them vanish into the floor. Back in the sewer, Iole runs ahead of them, using her "eyes of the owl" ability to lead them through the dark::
Nyx has him. They'll meet us back at camp. Don't worry, I know where we're going. I mapped the place out in my head. If we keep heading in this direction, we'll emerge about two blocks from Club Chocobo A Gogo. The Captain and the rest of the Dragoons are waiting for us there.
::Violette whispers an aside to him::
Violette: She actually planned this whole rescue mission herself. All Sid and I did was follow orders. Who knew she was more than a dumb pair of fists?
