The flames burst back to life following Dante's attempt to push them back. Something odd about these flames, they appear to resist attempts to stop them and spread with malintention, as if controlled by another force.
Oliver covers his nose as he trugs on with Dante and Iole, the goggles over his eyes to protect them from the harsh heat and smoke. "Wha is goin on!?" He yells over the roar of the flames.
The halls are ablaze with flames, parts of the ceiling having caved in, the floors above a sea of fire. A wheelchair rolls by, flaming down the hall. There's a crash in the distance, the sound of a wall buckling. The way appears clear back to where Lillith and the others were before the lights went out.

::Meanwhile, elsewhere in the building Lillith's eyes flutter open::
Kenny? Where are you? Kerion?
::She starts crawling on her hands and knees trying to get a feel for her surroundings. That's when she feels the heat and smells the smoke. In her panic, she stumbles across Kenny who's still unconscious::
Kenny wake up! I think the place is on fire!

:Kenny slowly woke up his head hurting a bit, all he remember was darkness and then he felt like someone attacked him as he saw Lillith while he got up and then he sniffed around for any smoke..:
"Wh What happened, Lillith you ok? Fire? Where..."

::Elsewhere, back with the group that is speeding down the hallways with Dante, they hear a high pitched scream. Of course, most of the lunatics are screaming, but this one sounds familiar::
Dante, turn there!
::The group veers left into another corridor. Two figures obscured by the flames stand at the far end, apparently grappling with each other. Iole breaks free of Dante's grip and dashes through the hall, careful to avoid the flames. She stops cold when the scene becomes clear. Doctor Irie has his hands around Nurse Takano's slender throat. The woman is helpless to throw him off::
What the--
::Before Iole can move in and help, a piece of the ceiling collapses. She has to jump backwards to avoid being hit by the flaming debris. On the other side of the flames, Irie hurls Takano to the floor, drooling out both sides of his lips and screaming incoherently. Steady drips of blood start to stream from his nose::

Oliver shields his face from the burst of heat the spews from the collapsing ceiling.
"This plac's bollocks!" He yells, cowering back from the flames. "Iole, Dante, dunno abous you two but I wan outa here, I do!"
Another eruption of flames from a wall licks the group; Oliver ducks away from them, shielding himself from the flames with his arms. "Eeek! Remines me of ta fires in ta Crest, it does! You two kno where ya goin? Cat go that way!"

"Iole!"
Luckily, she jumps back to avoid the falling debris. He goes Iole seeing that she is all right and looks up to see the doctor possibly harming Takano and hurled her to the floor. He starts to say something to the group with his slightly wounded face. Easing his Revolver on his sheathe seeing the threat not being high but still upon his hand, he responds and ask the doctor. "What is going on, doctor??"
He readies and hold his spell Clashing Solidus in hopes the flames will stay down this time to save Takano if the doctor is indeed planning to cause further harm.

::Iole can't take her eyes off the encounter in front of them::
But he's killing her!
::Irie pulls a scalpel from his lab coat and advances on the still stunned Takano. Acting on instinct, Iole transforms her hand into its dragon claw form and tears a chunk out of the burning walls. Then she hurls it across at Irie, pinning him in the head. Irie falls back against the wall and runs his hand along the side of his head that was struck. He seems confused at the blood on his fingers. Then he looks at where the projectile had come from. He screams in panic while his tongue lolls out of his mouth. He grabs the blond woman by the hair and begins dragging her down the hallway in the opposite direction, although he's not fast enough to get away from Dante in his condition. But before Dante can catch up to him, a blast from the other wall engulfs the man in flames. Takano falls from his grip, singed and bruised, but thankfully alive::

::Meanwhile Lillith is unable to walk due to some debris falling on her leg and has to limp her way out, leaning on Kenny for support. Kerion follows behind them::
I think I heard Iole. That way.

"Damn it!"
He performs Clashing Solidus, uplifting a torrent of black water and, with a downward hand movement, pummels the torrent to burn out the flames. He grabs holds Takano away from the other flames and lift her up. "Takano! Iole, help her out a bit; I am going to have to ease down the flames."
I hope this work. He starts to performs Clashing Solidus to summon the black torrent and after that performs Conflicting Zephyr. The black water gets absorbs into the orb of wind and he thrust forward to fire off a high-pressure spray of water to in hopes to ease the flames down and clear a path for anyone coming to them...

::The opening is just enough for Lillith, Kenny, and Kerion to get through, allowing them to regroup with the others::
Takano? Guys, what the hell's going on?!

*Kerion was still gorggy from whatever happened, but he pulls his Punisher out and quickly replaced the pale green wind round with a deep blue water round. He aims at the flames coming from behind them and fired, a wave of water coming out of the barrel and extingushing the fire* "Whoever has any ideas, I think now would be a good time to say it." If this fire isn't put under control soon, my magic will drain

"Ya, les get outa here?" Replies Oliver, jumping for attention. "Go'to be a window here somewher thas not barred, there has! Maybe an office or somethin!?"
The flames explode back to life, not willing to stay down for longer then a few moments. There's an awful creaking sound erupting from the ceiling, a piece collapses and a column of fire shoots down.
"This don't seem right!" He covers his face from the falling debris. "Come!"
With that, Oliver spots one open path, through patient rooms, the walls ablaze creating a literal tunnel of fire that drips with flame and choked with smoke.

::Lillith tries to move forward, but her limp makes her nearly topple both herself and Kenny over. She holds her hand toward the burning hallway. She concentrates, but after a moment her focus fails::
Damn. The air in here is too dry. I can't use any of my water magic. Which is a real drag because I use it for healing too. I hope I can still get out of here with my leg like this.
:: She starts pulling towards the corridor Oliver pointed out::
Guess we don't have any choice. Iole, you should cover Oliver.

:Kenny noticed the limping of Lillith and as they fall he slowly got up and looked at the burning hallways as he held Lillith close to keep her safe: "Relax.....I have you, I won't let anything happen to you ever" :He did what he can to help her out as they made there way through the corridor as he kept Lillith from toppling over:

"Don worry about me!" Oliver exclaims. "I do t'is all ta time, I do! An I gots an idea!" With that reassurance, Oliver charges forward. Ignoring any pleas to stop and disappears into the haze of smoke.
Through the smoke and flames, Oliver bounds, dodging any falling debris or flames with grace. "I knos its here, saw it earlier..."
Then there, he spots what he desires, a locked door marked "Pharmacy". The glass window in the door proves no match for the unusual sharpness of Oliver's claws as he cuts into the glass like a diamond, it making a screeching sound like nails on a chalk board. Popping out the cut piece, Oliver reaches in and opens the door from the back. He rushes in, just as flames crawl their way along the ceiling, following Oliver inside. Quickly, he grabs some potions of various sorts from a shelf and tucks them safely into pockets inside his jacket, then turns to another wall. Various drugs and pills line those walls, none of which Oliver can even pornouce much less read, but being taught to recognize certain ones, he quickly grabs anything he can with 'cillin' on the end of its name. Tosses those into his jacket, along with a few syringes and anything else he can reach quickly, then ducks out of the room and catches up to the group back down the burning hall.
"Sorry! Here!" He tosses a potion to Lillith. "Trys tha! Thes come'on, theres an oface down here, there is. Couds make an escape maybe thew there!"

::Lillith finds the potion works and flexes her newly healed leg::
Good. Now I can use it to kick your butt when we get out of here!

Dante takes notice of Oliver finding a way out. "Good job, Oliver. All right then, cover each other while I try my best to ease down the fire to make it easier for everyone..."
He starts to perform Conflicting Zephyr but in a way that it fires out very moderate bursts of air to converse MP and clear out at least the choking smoke and searing fire as it is impossible to burn out the flames entirely...

::Iole surveys the hallway. Anyone watching might see her blue eyes turn slitted, and the flesh around her sockets turn into pale scales::
He's right. Lillith, can you still levitate?
::the sorceress nods::
Good. That should make things a little faster. Here Oliver, get on my back.
::The boy looks confused::
Just trust me.
::Turns her back to him and signals for him to get on::

"Hey!" Exclaims Oliver, aghast at Lillith's threat. "I fix'd you, I did! I ges no repest..."
A burst of flames erupt out from a patient's room, reaching out for the group like a mad hand trying to pull you inside.
"Yikes!" That is all the reassurance Oliver needs and he jumps upon Iole's back.

::Iole grins::
Hang on tight kid.
::From her shoulder blades, two white wings sprout, the same as her dragon ones, but smaller to accommodate for the small space. She flaps them once to get her feet off the ground, then tucks them in to shoot down the burning hallway, avoiding falling debris and jets of flames::
::Lillith takes Kenny's hand::
Dante, you still got Takano? You and Kerion follow us. If you can't keep up, I'll be back for you as soon as I can.
::Her and Kenny levitate into the air::
Hope you still remember how to do this.
::The two of them rocket forward after Iole::
