The chamber seemed to vibrate with the sound of Allure's sexy voice as it reverberated off the walls and mixed with the latent sounds in the room. It made for an eerie effect to any and all within the sound of her voice and further as it carried well with the acoustics of the room, her teammates and the nearby guards were fully exposed to the awesome-ness of her mutant gift but the most potent dose was administered to the head guard, who was nearest to Veronika. As he seemed to become transfixed, his eyes pulsed in a way with her own and his facial features twitched with her almost every word. He was fast under her control.
The other guards who were near enough became seemingly enchanted as well as the head guard gave the order. "These peoples are to have their audience with the Queen. Release them and send word to the Captain to turn this ship to the Homeworld, and her Majesty's throne." He lowered his staff of pain and reached the tip toward the control panel shutting off the forcefields of the containment cells.
Turning back to see his Majesty's honored guests he was struck with a stun bolt in his shoulder. Flying backward his staff clattered on the hard metal floor. From the far end of the prison chamber the two guards were wiping their faces free of shit and filth and firing on the escapees as well as the head guard for letting them loose. Bolts of radiated inverse energy in a near solid form lit the area. The guards near enough on the catwalks took aim on the guards firing and release their volleys.
The entire room erupted in chaotic crossfire as some five guards were confused another six were trying to save the Queens guests and still another eight were trying to contain the jailbreak. In all the twenty five guards on duty that fateful day in the long vaulted hall of the prison deck would soon enough have stories to tell their hatchlings and their hatchling's hatchlings, as not only the floor but the encircling catwalk above spun out of reality into the vortex of confusion brought about by Veronika's mind control.

"OOOch! Zhe children have taken some hard hits und zhey look a bit scattered." Kurt said aloud as Beast entered the control hub. "I am running zhem zhrough zhe 'Broken~Dagger' in an attempt to bring zhem togezher as a team." He nodded to his longtime friend. "I zhink it vill be alright for you to have your movie night vis Rogue, I have zhe settings razher low und I am a trained EMT myself as you know. I just needed for you to be avare ve vere doing zhis just in case."
He turned away to focus his attention back on the action below. From the positioning of the control hub where they stood, high above the center of the danger room, they could see all and the nearly seamless world below would not reveal their presence. From their perspective the children saw the world around them, heard, smelled and felt it too. To their senses they were really there, there in the stinky loud prison chamber with laser beams going off all around them. However, with the technology in place within the Danger Room itself... technology that was provided as a gift to the X-Men by the Shi'AR... the two teachers above were able to see through the solid hologram constructs as if they were transparent, peeling off layers and adjusting the opacity through the visual array.
"Ahhh here ve go, look." Kurt said, an air of excitement in his voice. "Zhey have completed zhe first step in zhis seqvence of events...Zhe JAILBREAK....Goot! Zhe A.I. of zhe room is now compensating, just as it did vhen myself und zhe other X-Men ran zhrough zhe simulation." He knew Hank would recall it as he had been the one sitting at the controls. It was in fact quite an accidental discovery of the leftover training scenario. Just as the children themselves were minutes before thrust into this situation not knowing what was expected, so too had been the X-Men upon the fateful night of Beast's discovery.
As it turned out that proved to be the crux of the training sequence, the crucial element that set it apart, and it was determined that The Broken~Dagger scenario should be spoken of very little if at all. That element of surprise being what made it such a challenge, and so vital a learning experience. Knowing one's team is one thing...but relying on and trusting one's team is something entirely different. "Ve encountered entirely different details, as you no doubt remember, but zhe seqvence is vhat is important here und regadless of vhat zhey do zhe unfolding events vill be zhe test for zhem." He looked then to the medical readouts of the team members.
The room, taking careful and detailed reading of each individual, displayed it's finding in bar graphs and highlighed areas on the images of each team member below. Nightcrawler was most concerned for Frostbite's ribs as the kick she sustained was impressive even at this low setting. The solid blow from the Shi'AR guard, who's normal strength would have allow him to lift nearly a ton in Earth's gravity, might well have killed her had her new Team Leader not been mindful of the danger and took steps to safeguard his Paragons. "Jumper- Ahk! I mean Fleet is down vizh a strike to his good leg, und Frostbite appears to have several cracked ribs. Zhe energy bolts are at setting level four so zhey vill have a sensation of being tazered. I know it seems harsh, Hank but I believe zhey need zhis."

Hank placed his spectacles on nose and looked down at the Paragons in the Danger Room. "Quite honestly I was curious as to how Fleet would fair with the new set of Paragons. It has changed quite a bit since Scott took Ember in on his Corsairs. They are not as structured and to the point as they once were, but that is not necessarily a bad thing." He watched as the Paragons struggled for their next move in the midst of all the confusion. "I don't think that there is a team as loyal and tough as your Paragons, but I fear that it will be harder for Fleet and for Frostbite as well to really become part of your team. Fleet abandoned them during a crucial time for the team, and I know several of them will hold it against him. Frostbite... well I rarely question Emma's judgement but I do not know how she will fair on that team. As of now it is obvious none of them relate to her or accept her, and I do wish you the best of luck with helping them overcome that obstacle," Hank said throwing Kurt a knowing look. The both knew that it would be a long and complicated road if that ever was to happen.
"In many retrospects, they have it much tougher than we did when we began our training in the Danger Room. Good Gracious, we must have destroyed the room from our sessions at least a hundred times, but we knew what to expect. We worked our way into this current Danger Room settings, but they started out with that session, not eased into it at all. Plus with the situations being so real, it does a number on their mental state as well." Hank reminisced their own sessions in the old Danger Room before Charles received the Shi'ar technology for their new Danger Room.
With a sigh, Hank patted Kurt on the shoulder. "You know this group better than anyone else Kurt. If you believe the Broken Dagger will be the starting point for them, I know it will work," he said with confidence to the Paragon Leader. He knew how much Kurt's kids meant to him and he also knew how much he meant to those kids. Kurt would never do anything to harm the kids and Hank knew that there was nothing to be concerned about. "Now before I leave and trust you to attending the students, I will leave you with a delivery I received this morning from Reed Richards. It seems he found a way to make that Renewal Serum to work on Mutants by isolating a variable to make the white blood cells speed up for Mutants. You may give a small dose of this to the students hurt, but it will take at least 37 hours for them to be healed fully, if not a little longer. I transfered Frostbite's medical records to your access and I updated Fleet's. Oh and as a reminder, do not allow him to go above level three on for the next couple of days, as I explained to you after dinner." Hank set a bottle filled with gray colored liquid on the table for Kurt and a piece of paper that had all the instructions on it.
"Please do not hesitate to call me if you need an extra hand. After all, the students are our main priority. Now excuse me, but I have an engagement with a certain Southern Belle for night of classic Western movies and some of her famous Crayfish Casserole and homemade apple pie." He smiled at Kurt and left the room to meet Rogue in her office where their night may begin.

When chaos erupted, Dante pulled Sky back and tried to keep out of the range of fire. "Let's leave any rewards and talk for later, right now we gotta get to the others and get the hell out of here," he said and looked at the position of the others. Veronika seemed to be protected by the guards and everyone else was making their ways out of their cells and they needed to get the hell out of there. Dante looked around for a door and spotted one on the other side blocked by a bunch of guards.
He looked at Sky and then back at the door, a plan formulating in his head. "We can't get to anyone now, but we gotta get to the door. I can disrupt the system so they cant lock us in, but we gotta get to the door." A smirk crossed his face and he looked at Sky with raised eyebrows. "What do you say, an ol' game of two on everyone? You get the weapons, I'll get the people." Dante knew a fighter when he saw one and this girl could dish whatever she took right back out.
"We'll slip out past Allure's defenders and we'll get on it. You ready for this girl?" Timing it just right, he let go of her and moved forward and past the feuding guards. The kicker would be the ones trying to contain the jailbreak. "Let's do this." He moved so Sky could go in front of him to grab the staffs and weapons that may have come at them and he went low. He grabbed the part of one guard that wasn't armored on his arm and felt the guard stiffen up under his touch and fall over, paralyzed for the next couple of minutes. Working with Sky and trying to get to others, he went to touch whatever guard he could as they got closer to the door.

Laser blasts flying past all around him and the team he turned to Lymited-Ink and said strongly "Kat, you're fast right? Yeah I seen you move, I hope you're fast enough to not get shot. Take Ripple and go! Keep her safe and get to the wall in the corner." He pointed to the far corner end where the guards had started firing from.
"Stay away from those guys and wait for the cavalry. I think that's the door, those trigger happy guards are guarding." he said seeing the alert guards with their faces smeared with crap. "They obviously don't know who we are, the Queen's gonna have their asses." He was totally serious about the Queen too for a second and then he wasn't sure. "Wait what? The Queen?" he scratched his head. Allures power was incredibly powerful and even though it wasn't directed at the rest of them exactly, indirectly it took some effect. "Never mind - GO! I got Fleet." he said as the girls and him parted ways and he rushed over to Kyle.
Running full bore and sliding head first on his belly to Fleet's side he looked around at the team. "Hey buddy, how ya feelin? I see you layin here- what's up you tired?" He kidded his room mate. "I'm gonna get ya outta here man, don't worry." He looked around and saw the two guards that had been stunned by Glitch and for a second he though he saw one of them open his eyes and look right at him.
"Glitch !?! How long does that thing you do last? Cause I think this one's wakin up." He was not sure but he didn't want any more surprises. "SKY!! You alright? Look we gotta get outta here." That was a total 'no duuhh' moment because at that second a hundred shots of energy blasted down near them. "Looks like you guys have the same idea as us- we're going for the long bomb to the end zone." He nodded his head to the far end where the only door visible was being guarded and the two girls he hoped would be heading. He just knew though that Ripple would let her headstrong defiance get the two girls into trouble.
Hoisting Fleet onto his shoulder in a fireman's carry he stood up. "Ugghh goddamned home cooking Kyle man, you weigh a ton. OH SHIT!" he said as five shot came right at him. In an instant he forgot that he was not the goof ball he was and realized somehow instinctively what it was he was doing wrong in Iceman's class. He spun around and froze the solid energy blasts in mid air. "Hemlock!" He called out. Having seen Frostbite down and Tempest trying to help her while he was spinning he said "We are LEAVING! Get Allure to get some help for those two and follow us!" He pointed to the cell with Frostbite and Tempest before turning back around and rushing off in a slightly different direction as the others.
"Don't worry Kyle. If we run into anybody you can speedbag their heads while I freeze their uniforms in place." He said to his friend turning his head to talk to him as calmly as he could. "I'm going this way though so we don't all bunch up. Give those guys on the walkway up their more targets to shoot at. Let me know if we have any shots coming at us." Chase figured if Kyle was dialed up he would see the blasts almost in slow motion so he'd have plenty of time to warn him.

It was somewhat hard to focus with all the different things going on at once. One minute, the guards were mesmerized by Veronika, and the next the rest of the guards were attacking them all. Then she and Chase were brought out of their cell from beneath by Ripple, and then they had to get moving. It was bizarre, but she knew she had to focus despite everything. She nodded to Chase as he told her where to go and grinned at him for a brief second. "Aye, Cap'n," she said to him and then grabbed Ripple's hand. "Let's go mate, gotta dodge the cannonfire here, stay close to me and keep up," she told her, moving her hand to grip Lian's wrist and then pulling her closer to her as she crouched over and started moving.
The sounds of laser blasts went off all around and she kept low to the ground, feeling how close they had just missed her as she was forced to make Ripple and herself sidestep around their path. "Dance with me Ripply," Kat ordered as she wrapped an arm around Lian's waist to hold her close enough so that she could mimic better the moves Kat was doing, and the sidestepping had turned into some weird, sort of jazz square as they made their way across. Kat had to improvise at some steps, either pushing Ripple away quickly and bringing her back or spinning them round so that they didn't get hit by any laser blasts. She couldn't help hissing a couple of times, at the closeness of the blasts and at the predicament they were in.
Kat pushed Lian into the corner first and then threw herself at the wall as well. "We're the bloody queen's honored guests ye bilge-sucking harpyheads! Treat us right or yer queen'll see ya to the Locker!" she yelled out, her face seeming to pout as she then hissed at them again.

"Point that somewhere else Bird Brain!" Sky yelled and moved under a staff that was stabbed at her, grabbing it and turning it to nothing more than fine dust that disappeared quickly. "Take that!" She yelled and delivered a well aimed kick right to the guys crotch. Dante and her were working together pretty well and their powers worked to each others benefit. "Whoopsies." Sky disintegrated one of the guards helmet and slugged him a good one right in the jaw that her would have made any of her brothers proud.
Around her guards were dropping to the ground like flies thanks to Dante and they were keeping low to dodge the energy beams. This was not too bad for Sky, Undefeated Dodgeball Champion of University Elementary and Middle School. With all of them shooting at her, one just barely grazed the tips of her short blonde hair. "Oh hell no. Now it's on you asshole. The Queen ain't the only thing you got to worry about," she yelled and jumped up and ran forward, somehow amazingly dodging the beams, it had to be luck because she wasn't that quick. She jumped up on the two bodies of the guards that Dante got and used them to propel herself in the air and at the guard, arms out. "Prepare for the SKY BOMBER!" Sky yelled and grabbed the gun, making it into dust and tackling the guard to the floor. Her hands went his helmet and she kneed him in the crotch before slugging him right in the jaw. She was always a vicious and dirty fighter, and she had learned long ago how to incapacitate even her older brother who was a professional wrestler.
"Hey Chase baby, we're at the door!" Sky got off the now unconscious guard struggled to reach for the door. "Hey Stud, the system box is here, let's- OWW F#$%*ING ASSHOLES!" One of the guards whacked her in the side with their staff. Sky rolled over and grabbed the staff, turning it into dust. "Dante, get this god damn Chicken out of my way." She yelled dodging blows and reached to touch the door.

Slowly and with the extra air given to her, Lorelai caught her breath, coughing and whimpering at accidentally inhaling too much and feeling sharp pains inside her chest. She got the hang of taking shorter breaths so the stinging wouldn’t hurt as much before she spoke. “Yeah, thanks,” she said, looking to Tia with a small, thankful smile before watching hell break loose outside their now open cell. She sat up a little more to watch and winced again. “I got some broken ribs I think,” she told Tia as she watched the others outside, fighting both with and against the guards, wishing she could get up and do something. She hated that she was hurt so soon into the fight and couldn’t really do much of anything.
What if I’m not cut out for this? This mission..or being on the Paragons? I don’t know how this is supposed to help me prove myself cause I’m already injured and useless. I hate it, and right now there’s nothing I can do to help them or prove a useful teammate, and I’m probably holding Tia back too. I guess I’ve been really messed up these past days, even more than I had been before, Lorelai thought with a grimace as she thought of how things she did for herself, or even just in general seemed to not work for her. I should’ve remembered this from Limbo! I do something to make myself comfortable and something bad happens, and it’s been happening like this ever since we got back. I’ve been making myself miserable and I think I might be spiraling out of control or something, she realized as it hit her when she thought of everything she had done two months ago, and the past few days.
Now that she thought of it, it seemed to be quite true. Sure, Ian had only kissed Haven and he was honest enough not to lie to her about it, but in thinking she’d protect herself from feeling like she was being screwed over again she ended it, when she didn’t really want to. The outcome: being a total grump for two months and having to vent out anger, frustration and sadness every so often, either to a friend or writing pages of whatever was on her mind about it at the time. It was a whole chain reaction thing, and because of what she herself did she formed a hatred for the both of them because they were happy, and she hadn’t been for what felt like a really long time. Of course, it didn’t help that Ian was a rebound that went wrong- on her part, but nonetheless one that went bad, but she felt like she was due to crack from it somehow, and sometime soon.
That, she figured, probably explained why she chose to help Rumble out when he had buried them both. She honestly did find it hilarious that they were buried, and she put herself out there when she thanked and helped him out. Hanging out with him and the Hellions, as well as publicly pursuing him wasn’t something she was expecting, but she could already see that even though going after him was something she wanted because it’d be something detached, she had a feeling in the back of her mind that she’d pay for that too in the end, even if she liked what happened before it.
Then , it seemed like on a rebellious high she chose to just switch teams without a thought, which, on the inside, wasn’t sure now if it was the best idea. Maybe the façade she was putting on from the high rebellious feeling made her feel like she could pull it off, but she wasn’t so sure anymore. In a way, she didn’t care what people thought anymore, but in a way she did. The people she cared about- those were the ones whose thoughts mattered, but even when Hardlight said he didn’t want to deal with her like this, she was quick to just go along with it because hey, she was rebelling from what she didn’t want to deal with anymore and everyone else be damned. It didn’t change that she already missed her best friend, but she didn’t want to suddenly go back to how she had been…she wasn’t bipolar. Maybe I’ll chill out a little..I am feeling a little overwhelmed right now. Go figure, I thought everything I was doing was good for me. I’m not sure if I belong on the Paragons, but I didn’t want to stay on the Acolytes anymore so I switched. I’m not exactly having fun right now. And I probably won’t be having fun later either. I think I’m screwed for life since even though I know what I want isn’t good for me cause it ends bad, but I know I’m gonna be dumb enough to still keep going for it, she thought, grimacing again as she tried to move a little without disturbing her ribs. I’d like to get out of here now.

"AAARRRRGGGHHH!!!!" Yelled Kyle as his knee buckled from the hit to his knee. He toppled to the ground holding his knee tight. Cursing himself for getting to close. He was dialed up and should have seen that coming but with all the commotion going on around him he lost track. He heard Allure's voice and the radiating power filling the room. The kids used to think he was gifted at using his power, but Allure, that was power. After her effects on the guards and all hell breaking loose, Kyle tried to slide to the side to get out of the way. One leg wrapped and sore, and now his other leg crippled for now he was beginning to fell useless. What a day to return, what else could go wrong for him today? He thought to himself.
He saw Chase and the others show up to the scene and didn't fight Chase as he was draped over the teammates shoulders. His perception was still enhanced and his perception sped up. He jerked Chase to the left with his body to avoid a random blast from the guards above. "I still got your back Chase!" Kyle watched the action around him carefully. He may not have been able to run or fight but he was still here and part of the team. Kyle thought to himself he just had something to throw.
"Frostbite?! Can you make me some snowballs or even better ice balls?!" Kyle knew he could throw and being sped up his throws would be even more dangerous. Kyle blinked as he caught a flash of energy heading for Katlyn "Heads up!" He called out and reached out towards her. He would have grabbed her shoulder and pulled her to the side to avoid being hit if she wasn't all the way across the big chamber. It was almost intolerable, he was so used to being able to get someplace he wanted to be in the blink of an eye, being hobbled was going to challenge him on a deep internal level.
Having no choice but to follow along with Chase he kept his eyes out to watch for anything that might come close. Either to help dodge or to try and take a couple dozen swings at one of the closer guards trying to stop them. If anything this was teaching Kyle to rely on his team and to work together with them. Kyle couldn't run off and try and do things on his own. He tapped Chase on the shoulder and with his cocky grin laughed. "Hey you never tried my mother's Meatballs, they are great. What's up- you getting out of shape without me around?"

Veronika was more than pleased at the guards under her charm and influence, but her perfect acting was infallible. She pretended to act scared and helpless, taking cover and her face showing the perfect look of fright. With the grace of a dancer and cornered one of the confused guards. "Oh please! You must help us, we are the Queen's honored guests and we are in need of aid." Her bright sapphire eyes held the confused guards for a moments, keeping the regal yet frightened presence that she mastered long ago. "You will help us yes? Please go help the other guests in the cell over there." Veronika pointed to Frostbite and Tempest. "You are so kind, thank you so very much," she said sweetly and put on a wonderful performance. "Oh someone please help us! I am frightened!" she yelled to the guards already under her spell and grabbed Kris' arm. She was not as worried about getting hit with the blast, since it was just simply not in her personality to do so. Veronika was rarely ever scared when it involved people, and she knew that Kris or the guards would take a blast for her without hesitating. To the disappointment of others, the experience of the Danger Room did not alter Veronika's confidence in the least.
"Come darling, let us join in the dance no?" Veronika said with a sly and endearing smile as she took his hand and allowed him to lead her into the steps of the dance. She was proud to have Kris guard her and be her 'dancing partner.' He was quite the talented dancer, and he would use his moves in combat, often throwing Veronika around as a tool, and she delighted in it. She heard people sneer and laugh at Kris because of his slightly frivolous nature, but once they saw him 'dance' when in combat, it was more than enough to shut them up. Veronika had taken ballet since she was a small girl and she was a perfect match as a dancing partner for him. "Perhaps we should go with the classic dance from La Bayadere?" She grinned and prepared for the dance of a lifetime.

"freak this," she grumbled to herself while she sulked in the corner with Kat. Lian was pissed at Chase's attitude and since it was her time of the month, she didn't want to practice. She was in pain and not in the mood. Plus when she helped Kat and Chase actually escape their damn cell, all she got was a smack to the head. There was screwing around and then there was making sure that teamwork was actually happening. To Lian, Chase was too busy freaking around.
Crossing her arms and crouched next to Kat. "Ya got some nice moves there by the way," she said finally. "Thanks." Kat was a cool chick and Lian liked her attitude toward the stupid alien bird bastards that didn't seem to get what the heck was going on. "I hate practices," she concluded. "We should be freakin' fightin'. Not sittin' here like damsels in distress. C'mon, let's kick some alien ass!!" she yelled before avoiding a laser and grabbing Kat's wrist to pull her up too. Lian wanted some action. And since she was pissed off, releasing it on the enemy seemed like a good idea.

The excitement and laser-fire in the prison containment bay was noting compared to what was going on outside the vessel. Unbeknown to the team of Paragons within the bowels of The Dagger, their raged outside a battle. A Shi'Ar starship emerged from warped space just beyond the range of the dagger's slight armament of weapons. A blaze it hurled through the heavens, following just thereafter a cadre of Kree vessels pulled themselves out of warp.
They set upon the Empire's battle cruiser and tore into it's metallic hide. Finally, after pounding upon it long enough to destroy the shield emitters through overloading their refreshers, the Kree vessels found their prey and shredded into it. Explosions followed after explosions and Her Majesty's Starship Excellon found itself outnumbered and outgunned. A distress call was sent out. The Captain of The Dagger, hearing the call and knowing his ship would be the next on the hit-list, amplified the distress call and re-transmitted it following to the letter the protocols for engagements, alerting the Kree to their presence and thus sealing their fate.
Inside the firestorm of the prison chamber the Paragons found themselves holding their own and re-organizing. Having gotten themselves to the wall and with a small entourage of charmed guards to cover them they knew had to get themselves out of that chamber. Fortifying their position behind Sky and the door with the fallen foes and comrades they had passed as the raw material the remaining three guards that Allure had under her control stacked the bodies of the unconscious and twitching Shi'Ar into a stout wall that the team hunkered down behind. As Decay set about to dissolve the door the rest of them caught their breath and formed a strategy while blasts of solid light erupted around them.

With all of them huddled behind a pile of paralyzed bodies, Dante didn't want to stay there for long. "We gotta get out of here. They're down for five minutes tops and we don't got that kinda time," he said and went through the door. He looked around the long chrome hall, dark silver walls shining from the lights but no one in sight. "Let's go before they get out of it. The coast is clear, c'mon. We walk and talk." Admittedly, Dante knew nothing about the people here and even exactly what they were doing, but he did not wanna face those guards when they woke up.
He held out a hand to anyone that might need it. "Everyone okay to walk?" Dante was glad that many that he was for the most part in one shape, but he almost expected to be despite the unknown conditions. The way that Dante saw it, a fight was a fight, and like any other gang fight he dealt with in the past, this was no different. He was fighting against the enemy with a group of people that were like a gang. He would never leave anyone behind, but he didn't think he had to worry with this group. They all knew what they were doing, and he had to fall into sync with the rest of them. While he helped some of them out and kept an eye out for any surprise visitors, he asked the one question that's been plaguing him. "Where do we go from here?"

Kris sighed, a disappointed look crossing his face, "No dancing for us," he moaned, looking around and his eyes flickering to Glitch and then back to his best friend. "I hate to complain, but I was looking forward to our lovely dancing, we're such amazing dancers, pity they took our chance away." Kris shook his head, and gave Veronika a one-sided hug. "I hope we get our chance soon, La Bayadere is our speciality!" I feel so... so unhappy as it is, being inside this closed room, there is no life! No energy! It certainly does depress me, getting outside may not be such a bad idea, I'll certainly be able to dance better out there. Kris shook his head again and then he turned around to look at little Tempest.
"Now now, C'mon you two! We must leave before these guards wake up! You heard Glitch, we have five minutes at most! Hurry, hurry!" he beckoned them forwards, and then started steering Veronika with his one arm hug, keeping a look-out around him to make sure no birdy guards would wake up and try to harm him and his girl. "Anyhoo, Veronika darling! That was truely amazing, am I glad that you have such a useful power!" He patted her shoulder as the two headed to the door.

Chase made sure the rest of the team made it through the rotted out hole through the door before he followed them with Kyle. They made a pretty decent team since Fleet could see the blasts coming at them and called out the positions so Chase could do his Freeze~Frame thing.
He had to make sure they all got through, he was the only one that could stop all the shots coming at them. Ripple had gone all hot headed and he wondered if she was in her right mind. He even had to grab her by her uniform and almost literally stuff her through the hole she wanted to fist fight some guards so bad. "Chill and focus Ripple! Chill and Focus!!!" he had screamed at her before Fleet had warned him about more incoming shots.
Spinning just in time to freeze the blasts he slid Kyle off of his back to give his roommate a chance to test his legs. He called for Sky to help since she had stuck by just on the other side of her clever little escape route. "You got him Sky?" he called over his shoulder and seeing that he was the last in the room, all of the Paragons and the charmed guards having gone through Decay's exit, he turned and leaped through the hole.
"Oww ow OW Ow DAMMIT!" he hollered as he rolled to his feet and clutched his as cheek. "They shot me in my as-s -s-ss" the effects of the grazing stun blast took hold finally and his knees went out from under him. He was thankful it only barely nicked him but he felt like his whole body was shot up with novocaine except for his ass which throbbed in time with his fast pounding heartbeat. "Ohh shwit swomebwuddy giff me a hwand. I fweel wike jwello, can't stwand upff." He raised a shaky wobbly hand as his vision was tripled and swirling.
"We gwotta mwoove it tweem. Alwure, hwave them gwuys shwoh ufs the way." He could feel the tingling coming back into his limbs like pins and needles all over his body and it was enough to make him want to retch up a lung. Looking through the hole back into the prison chamber he saw the guards climbing down from the catwalk and rushing for them as others in the pile that they had just been hiding behind seemed to start to come back to their senses. "Mwove it Pwahragwons! MWOOOVE!!"
