The man begins to head towards the exit, but halts as he hears footsteps approaching behind him. He whirls quickly, getting into a fighting cat stance, and sizes up the guard that had come behind him, arms raised in the air. For a moment, the man just stares at the guard, wondering if it could be some sort of trap, then, slowly, he opens his mouth and speaks, his voice soft but firm, "What is your power...?" This was the only explanation he could come up with for having a guard walking up to him in such a fashion. It was obvious to the man that the guard need only shout, and he could be swarmed, especially if dealing with other powers...

Seeing that the man was still on edge he kept his arms raised and simply answered his question, "Martial arts." His indifferent expression did not falter. Deciding to get straight to the point he just came out and asked, "Would you join me in my quest to take down Dragon?"

"Uhh...I...er..." The young man was stunned. Not only did this guard answer his question without putting up a fight, he was enquiring if he would join him, the guard, to take down Dragon...Dragon! The leader of this entire sadistic base of operations. Slowly, he relaxed out of the fighting stance, still staring at the guard. His eyes narrowed, his eyebrow arching upward, looking into the guard's eyes. Something was different about this person. "...Who are you...?" The young man finally asks, looking past him briefly to make sure that no one was closing in on them...

He smirked his lazy, kind smirk and answered, "My name is Chet. And I want to save people from Dragon's plots." He finaly let his hands down but he extended one in greeting and almost as though he were making a deal. "But I need help."

The young man looked at Chet's hand warily. He had performed enough handshakes to know it wasn't always about just greeting someone. Slowly, the man replied, "As cliche as that sounded, I believe you when you say you want to stop Dragon, but," he continued, folding his arms across his chest to emphasize his point, "that doesn't mean you can win my trust that easily." After a moment of a standing there to make sure Chet got the message, he lowered his arms and shook his hand. "You can call me Element..."

Chet nodded in understanding. "I've been there too. Nice to meet you Element." The moment their hands touched the deal was struck. A mutual agreement to stop Dragon and prevent him from destroying more lives.
Suddenly becoming more buisness-like he said, "We need to get out of here and meet up with my friends. They're in here too but I'm sure they can get out. Once we escape we should find a place where we'll be safe to stay for a while. I don't know the area and I didn't pack a map and I can't look one up without Tsume. Do you have any ideas of what we should do now?"
Pausing for a moment he kindly added, "Oh, and welcome to the group."

Element nodded as well, sensing the shift in mood. "Good, because I'm not about to go back in there. I can get us out, and once we meet up with the others, I can take you guys to my place," he says, turning around and making sure he can still sense the exit. "Follow me!" he says, glancing back only once, his eyes flashign to white, before dashing down the corridor and turning the corner, heading straight to the outside. To his first taste of freedom in two weeks...

Chet followed Element, taking note of the white eyes but assuming he was just seeing things. He knew that he would have to plan further but decided to wait untill they had a safe moment so he could think.
The moment they were out Chet felt relived but his instincts from his martial arts skills made him keep his guard up. He said aloud the first thing that came to his mind, "I wounder how Sophia's doing..."

Element closes his eyes and tilts his head back, facing the sky. The feel of the fresh breeze on his face was like heaven after being trapped in those ruins. He vaguely hears Chet's remark, and after a moment, lowers his head and opens his eyes again, taking in their surroundings. "Hmm...now, how to get to the transports from here..."

Charlie and Kimi followed Chet and Element. Charlie held her gun close by as Kimi held out to Charlie's other hand.

Sophia, as always, follows lifelessly behind Charlie and Kimi but close enough to Brady trying to get to Chet. Although bound to her programming as a robot, she seems to be learning a little bit more about humans during this short time of activation. She closes her eyes for a second and continues venturing forward.

Charlie turned to Sophia. "Sophia, how are you doing right now?" She asked.
