Reinos and the others were soon in the corridors where no living being was allowed. There were only floating sentry bots and laser grids to keep people out, but they would alert the guards and that wasn't what they needed right now. Reinos stopped before a bulkhead with a keypad beside the door.
"I hope you're as good as you say you are," he told her and gestured toward the keypad.
Meanwhile, guards led the champion into the pit and unchained him quickly. They knew he was dangerous, in the corridor where Almi and Zyphan were the pack appeared.
Six men and women led by a man with a scar going through his left eye. He looked like and older version of Reinos, if Reinos had been born human. Or even born for that matter.
One of the women held a silver circlet that could easily pass for a collar and all of them passed with no knowledge of the others there. The sewer smell covering up their scents. All of them jumped over the barricade where the stands were and landed in the sand below. The main event had begun....

((here's the post with Almi in it so Zyphan has something to go off of))
((and here's my post)) Roxy chuckled and went to the keypad, looking it over.
Electronic locks were harder than regular locks, but she didn't let that get her down.
Getting out a couple tools, she gently pried the keypad off, making sure not to pull any of the wires enough that would send off some kind of alert, and looked it all over.
The first thing to do was to find the wire going to the alarm. Once that wire was isolated from the rest, Roxy first worked on disabling it.
Learning to disable wires took alot of practice, and in her lifetime, alot of failed attempts, but she'd gotten the hang of it for the most part.
The next thing was working on getting the door to open, that was all about getting the correct charge sent to the right spot. It took a few minutes, but Roxy finally found the correct way to get a charge , the numbers on the keypad blinking as the lock deactivated.
Roxy gave a light, slow push, and the door opened, Roxy taking a look inside to see if anyone was on the other side.

((sat's post is after that, but still, it helped. thanks, Ze!!))
Zyphan watched the group pass, curious about who they brought out into the arena. Thankfully, they completely ignored the two, but she didn't want to be discovered, so the phoenix waited to see what else might happen, and if she and Almi needed to move.

Inside the arena, the Pack had spread out. Each of them had a device on thier arms that would allow for thier transformations. This wasn't apparent yet, they were waiting for the champion.
Meanwhile, Reinos and the others moved through the corridors. Reinos kept getting the feeling something was off, like he had been violated. This place was just....wrong.
Reinos stopped short as he suddenly caught view of red sensor beams moving ahead.
"Bloody security..." he said....

(Come now, surely you can think of something. Remember, it seems that Mierca's parents were scientists working here, so she could have some info. Be creative. After all, this thing is an extension of OID. )

((They aren't scientists, and they hate the arena. They researched stuff because they're sympathetic to nonhumans, and to help Mierca learn about what she is.))

(Oops, my bad. Slight clarification acknowledged. Data varified. Story alterations in progress...stand by... This just gave me a few ideas.)

((I wonder if anything similar to something I was thinking. S'pose I'll find out.
And really, we should have had this conversation in the discussion thread. <.< ))

*i think i'm gonna post now...*
Almi stayed quiet, unsure exactly what to do. Everything was a whirl of insanity, passing by her without even so much as a backwards glance. 'Wonder what's they all riled up about' she whispered to Zyph, who seemed to be staying mostly quiet for now.
*aaaaaaaand now >.>*
The champion entered, squinting as his eyes adjusted to the bright sunlight overhead. Once again, as it had several times already, his gaze scanned the arena; seven opponents, including the kid from the night before, as well as six he knew nothing about who looked simple enough. However, even as the roar of the crowd threatened to unnerve him, the Guardian kept his gaze upon the six that rushed out of one corner; his instincts were screaming that something was wrong. His hands released from their wroth iron shackles, the armor plating he once had stripped down to a minimum, he still held an imposing figure, even more threatening now than before due to the exposed skin with rivers of muscles rippling beneath as he took several more steps forward, the extensive hair upon said skin flowing like grass as a gentle breeze picked up.
One of his massive gauntlets shielded his aging retinas from the harsh rays above, surveying the new-comers. Odd he thought, seeing the devices upon their arms, looking more like wristwatches than the simple bracelets that prisoners were forced to wear. There was most certainly something very, very off about what was going on here... He just hoped that the child was somewhere safe, far away from this so she would not need to see what her Guardian truly was, what monster he had become so long ago to save one that could not be spared death... Like an enraged bull, his breath came out in ragged but methodical snorts, pushing dust out of his helmet as he lifted it slightly, shaking the thick, jet-black dreadlocks out. He had a feeling that this fight could quite possibly be his last, so he wanted to at least leave the crowd with a showcase of what an Ogre warrior could do...

Zyphan shook her head at Almi, speachless as she watched out the entrance onto the field. Now she could see who they had brought, and her heart instantly went out to Scoltun. He would be facing a difficult challenge today, and if somehow they couldn't get him out, then... She shook her head, refusing to even let the thought penetrate her mind.
The big one, though, the one with red armor, seemed extremely out of place, like he was distracted and was only doing this because he had to, like he was doing it for someone else... Zyphan didn't really know what to think of this, until she remembered something in a conversation they all had a while ago, talking about someone calle the Guardian, and this guy having something to do with Almi.
She glance at the girl, wondering what her thoughts were once the battle began, and if this red machine out in the arena was what they had come for, including saving Scoltun and whatever Reinos was doing without them.

"Ah, for the love of all that is freaking holy," Reinos muttered looking at the red sensors sweeping the corridor.
"Great, just bloody great," he said,"I am not an acrobat." Reinos had always preferred the straight forward approach to things, he hated doing things like this.
"Mierca, tell me, can you hear Kyra right now?" he asked, looking to Roxy,"Unless you think you can get through this oh great thief," he grinned.
The pack each also had a grin on thier faces, but not like Reinos did. These were malicious smiles and the crowd was cheering. The spectacle they were about to see, a whole different thing than they were used to.
"Ladies and gentlemen," came a voice over the intercom,"I give you the next generation in law enforcement for the great city of Largos. All of the half-breeds that threaten to break our laws will have to answer to this newest division of the Krono Elite, code named the Pack. Now, show our guests what you can do?"
That was an order, each of them touching the device on thier wrists. In moments, unearthly growls and howls were emanating from thier throats as thier bodies took on the forms of those before them. Thier bodies and faces changing from human to creatures of nightmares. Soon, the growls were emanted by barks and posturing as three werewolves stood slobbering from the mouth, thier eyes wild with the drug in thier system and three creatures that resembled kitsune's but with a more human form...if you could call the monstrosities they were now "human" at all....

"I think I can... more than likely... I can't be the best thief if I let some laser wires get in my way."
Roxy moved up to the lasers and looked them over, finding the best way through.

"Huh?" Mierca looked at Reinos with wide, confused eyes. It didn't matter though, Roxy seemed to be handling whatever it was that needed to be done.
Still, what did Kyra have to do with this? The child was still a bit confused about what had happened, and certainly more confused about just what they were doing now. But, at least her head didn't hurt anymore.
