Reinos heard a scream from a above and many others as he looked up and saw the Colosseum suddenly besplode where he was certain that bloody woman had been. The debris fell to the groudn quickly as Reinos grabbed Mierca and shielded the child from the falling debris. Reinos was certain that if she had survived, she wasn't going to be too happy. The debris covered much of the south wall and caused alot of dust to fall, but through it Reinos could see one thing, a way out.
"EVERYBODY ALRIGHT!!" he screamed, pushing a few pieces of metal off him. The south wall was now a slope up to what used to be the VIP balocony....

After checking to see that Almi was coming, Zyphan found the room and quickly went in, silencing the two guards that turned, surprised, at her entry. She looked around at all the controls and buttons, suddenly in an alien environment. "Well, at least we only have to disrupt them all. I have no idea how to work any of these."
She peeked out the door for a moment, and saw guards rushing up and down the corridor, though they didn't appear to pay any attention to her. A giant tremor shook the floor, and she about lost her balance. The cannons must have finally hit their targets, and it would be high time to be getting ready to leave. Turning back to the amatuer gitarist, Zyphan nodded. "Okay, I think you'd best give this place your best song yet, so we can find the others and get out of here."

Roxy shook the debris off of her and gave a loud bark noise to show she was ok. She looked around and tried to figure out what was going on, the situation was so confusing...

Mierca made no complaint at Reinos' covering her, only a little surprized squeak when he'd grabbed her. The daggers in her little hands, she'd crossed her armed over her chest to protect the disks she'd hidden up her shirt, for lack of any better place to put them.

The tremor caught the girl off-guard, but she managed to keep her footing despite the severity of the shaking that was going on. Wheeling past a guard who happened to take note of her, the girl lashed out with her foot, kicking him in the knee and then slamming her body against his before he could recuperate from the pain. With one issue out of the way, she raced to catch up, which was easy enough.
However, upon entering the room, she gaped; it was huge, and full of equipment as well. Taking a look around, she recognized some of it, but others were completely new to her. For a few moments, she could only let her eyes scan the room, just thinking about what some of this might do... and then reality punched her in the gut when she realized that she'd have to blow this place apart. She might be able to simply dismantle most of this, but time was an issue. It almost brought a tear to her eyes to think it was all going to waste... almost. And when she let her eyes wander to the right spot, she realized that not all of it would need to be trashed. "Um... can you give me a minute here? I think I might... yeah..."
Laying the guitar gently on the floor nearby, she scurried over to what looked like just a pile of junk; however, it was what laid underneath that interested her more than what laid on top. Pulling back, she yanked out a cylinder-like object, let it roll across the floor, then jumped back under the pile. Pieces rolled, bounced, and scattered about, and finally she emerged, grease smeared on her face as well as a large smile. "This stuff'll come in handy later" she blurted, grabbing a duffel bag off a rack. In fact, given the proper time, she could have jacked most of the good stuff, but of course there wasn't that kind of time so she made did with what counted.
Unzipping the bag, she dumped the stuff inside, including a few wires and a compacted, battery-operated soldering kit. Zipping it back together, she slung the guitar back over her shoulders, noted the worried look she was getting, and simply replied "Cover yer ears" as she took a deep breath. The stuff inside the duffel bag should survive her scream if she hit the right frequency, but anything else would be almost instantly broken...

Reinos heard a shriek from somewhere in the Colosseum, and shook his head hard. That thing sounded like the wail of a banshee or a siren...too faint for his human ears to tell the difference.
"Alright, up and out," he said out loud as he got up and helped Mierca up. He looked to the fox and saw she was okay. Where was the ogre thing though, the Guardian?
He was one of the reasons they had come, now Reinos was worried about everyone. The draconian was going to need help soon judging fromt what he had seen. Demon-human half-breeds weren't the only ones who could lose thier humanity to thier nonhuman side.
Reinos started moving up the rubble when he saw one of the female kitsunes buried in the rubble. She was clutching something that looked like a....collar?
Reinos stopped suddenly wary, a collar? What was a collar doing down here and why did one of the Pack have it?
Reinos was a little confused, but the creature looked dead so it seemed of little importance. He went over and knet down bside the creature. Why would a human choose to become something like this? Then, he saw the mark on it's right shoulder, a makr similar to the one on his left arm. A shadow mark, a mark of possession.
Reinos was too late in figuring it out, the creature was not of humanity, but of the darkest magic brought forth for one purpose and to fulfull that purpose, even in death. The creature sat up bolt quick and wrapped itself around Reinos like a snake.
He tried to get loose but his arms were pinned, so he released his boneblades in his right arm and cut through the creature's legs...but not before it placed the collar on Reinos' neck.
Four symbols were burned into it, one for each of the elements. All four glowed with different colors as the thing locked arund his neck and began to burn his skin. Reinos let out an uneartly scream as the creature fell to the ground dead, it's task complete. The collar itself was made of a metal that wolves feared when they were around humans. The metal that shimmered as if moonlight was always on it....silver....

Reinos cry caught Roxy's ears and she ran over to him, wondering what was wrong. She smelled the burning and growled as she looked for the source.

Reinos fell to the ground thrashing wildly. He kept trying tot pull at the collar but each time he yanked his hands away from it as it scorched his hands.
The collar itself was searching his mind for information about something. It looked through his mind, not bothering to be gentle. The demon within becoming very agitated, unable to do anything and finally it had enough. It used the magic that linked Reinos with everyone, looked through the red stream and spoke.
"The Elements are the key. You are young for a kitsune, but learn the pattern. Each symbol must be pressed at the moment it illuminates. Save him and renew the pact between the shadow beasts and the flame kitsunes," said the ancient voice. The demon could do nothing but trust the young half-breed while Reinos suffered...

Roxy growled as she heard a strange voice and looked at Reinos warily before changing back and knealing down, grabbing onto Reinos and trying to hold him still.
She grabbed onto his neck and held his head still from moving as well as she could so she could try and see whatever pattern she was supposed to see.
She got part of it, saw 3 of the 4 elements and it was easy to figure what came last. So she let go of him with one hand and tried to press them in time, but with Reinos moving so much she missed and messed up a couple times.
"Reinos stop f**king moving or I'll never get it off!" she growled and grabbed his head, glaring into his eyes.

Reinos bit his lip as Roxy growled and something stirred within. Something familiar. That and her eyes suddenly even got the demon wary of her and questioning if it had been a good idea to ask her to reform the ancient pact. However, the demon had a feeling that she may not even know if it...nor Reinos for that matter.
Reinos stayed still, the collar burning his skin.....

"thank you." she said simply and waited for the pattern to start over before pressing the glowing elements, she got them all and hoped it actually worked.

The collar suddenly retched open and Reinos flung it from him as fast as he could. He was fine escept for the fact he was gasping for air and he now had burns on his neck and hands. However, he was just grateful to have that bloody thing off.
"Thanks...Roxy," he said, sitting up. He had helped her once and now she had done the same for him. By all accounts they were even, but Reinos didn't think like that.
"I should've....kept muy guard up.." he said, alittle embarassed that thing had gotten him.

"you probably should've, now can we get outta here, before anything else happens?" she looked around.
"do we have everyone?"

Zyphan quickly covered her ears, and after the shrieking of the guitar faded away and the equipment around them started to crackle with disrupted ccurrents, she picked up the duffel bag, slinging it over her shoulder. "I think that'll do pretty good for now. Let's get out of here and get back to the others so we can get out of here." With a pause at the door to wait for Almi, Zyphan took off to the arena, determined to find everyone else and get out of the Collosseum.

As he saw the destruction be had caused, a lot of things began to happen and he lost track on all the people now scattered across this place. Add to that the stampede created by the crowd to get out of the arena spectators' stand before he decided to blow more holes in the structure, added to the confusion. But Scoltun was done as he swiped the tail across the console, cutting through the interface and disabling it. He wondered if he had killed the lady he had seen before.
As he flew out of the chamber he was blasted by a shriek, that his hearing made sound more painful then what he was experiencing in his body as he flew. He raised his hands to cover his ears but the sound made him black out for a few seconds and he fell to the rubble below. He shook his head as he sound died down and tried to get up, to get to the others when he was hit in the back by a large piece of fallen rubble. He was knocked forward, away from the large man that stood a few feet behind him. As Scoltun got up and turned to face his opponent he saw that somehow the man was mostly un-injured except for a scar from old times that cut through his ear.
Scoltun ran forward, the rubble not giving him enough room to fly here and he certainly wasn't going to run away from this fight and take the chance of this man going after the others while they least expected it. He felt a fist slam into his stomach and then another on the right of his face, sending him to the ground again. The man was fast despite being large. He had moved forward before Scoltun had even got a chance to reach him and delivered two blows.
