into the rabbit holeAlex ran down a hallway until he moved next to a window, then stopped to peer out into the parking lot of the Ether Spiral's Lounge. Three men moved in synchronized motions as they approached a door that would give them entrance to the building. Alex thought for a moment, closing his eyes to control a force that he had not used in combat in many years, his telekinesis. With a motion from his hand, one of the agents gun swung hard and began firing randomly, shooting booth of the other two in the legs, dropping them instantly. The agent looked in horror at what had happened and looked back to the door just as it exploded off the frame and flew in his direction. The agent fired off the sub-machine gun in retaliation but wound up on his back from the force of the door kereening into him with extreme force. Alex was following behind the door closely as it moved through the air. As it hit the agent he moved his hands quickly from side to side slamming the other two dropped agents into near by parked cars knocking them unconscious. The agents could be heard yelling as he moved towards them, yet they fired no shots in his direction, instead, opting for a wide variety of batons and night sticks then began moving into range. Alex smiled as he came to a stop in front of the lead female agent with 4 agents and the 2 psychorin militia guarding her. She just smiled and looked at the agents in a noiseless command telling them to get in there and get him. Agent #1 stood no chance as Alex moved one hand to sweep the agent off his feet and with a second motion, pushed him back into the car creating a dent. The next two stuttered in their attack, not knowing what that was. Alex poised himself and got into a battle stance, breathing lightly and awaiting their turn to dance. Agent #2 rushed with Agent #3 behind him closely, swinging wildly barely missing Alex as he shifted his body back and away just enough to evade the attack. He twisted back, bringing a fist into the agent's rib then continued with momentum to land a straight kick to Agent #3's solar plexus. He looked down at them and frowned then looked to the Female Lead, "Where did you get these guys from? The sand box?" The female just laughed as Agent #4 looked at her with a dreadful look. "Get the other two.", she commanded as the man made a long circle around Alex, who in response reached out, grabbed the man and threw him through one of the windows. "You!", She pointed to the massive Psychorin, "Detain him please." The monstrous man smiled and with a deep russian ascent responded, "Yes Ma'am". With that he took a step forward and blurred with an unknown speed. Alex barely blocked the massive arm coming down upon him. He lifted his hands with an "X" block and felt his knees begin to crumble at the sheer weight of the power of the juggernaut known as "Creiger"

Corin stood in the junction of several of the hallways and waited, rounding one of the corners came a unit of 6 armed men from what he could see they were well trained using a coverage stagger to make their way around the corners and down the halls tword him.
Ducking back into an off shoot Corin took aim with his pistol and opened fire catching the front man with two rounds one to the knee and the other through the chest.
One... Corin yelled as he ducked back around the corridor and began moving away leeding them into his trap.
Rounding the corner the five soldiers followed only to have the first two that rounded the corner have to take a dive to avoide a trap Corin had rigged with a falling crate, looking up brought both men face to face with the bullets that killed them .
Two.... Three... He called as he came walking out of the smoke and dust, looking at the three remaining men he said, You get one chance turn and run, forget you ever saw me and I wont kill you.
Needless to say they didnt take the deal, diving into the middle of the three soldiers he comenced to beat each one senceless with the stun sticks, these three might survive but not without a great deal of healing.
Four... Five ... Six... he said as he watched each one fall, only realising as he turned to head back into the corridors to find Alex that he had suffered several knife and club wounds that he had failed to avoide in the fighting.

Alex bent his knees to absorb the shock of the blow, Creiger smiled at him with a tease, "Been a long time Little Zero. Let us see if you have improved." With that, Creiger reached over and folded his hands around Alex's arms and picked him up and looked at him with a smug look before raising him over shoulder and slamming him into the ground.
Zero lost his breath but managed to hold his thoughts long enough be raised again and thrown head long into a wall. Zero fought hard throughout his flight, training in on balancing himself in the air. Just as he hit the wall, his feet planted and a massive crater appeared below his feet., sending cracks to sprawl through the walls fifteen feet in distance. He steadied himself, and dropped to the ground looking at Creiger as he readied himself once more.
Alex cracked his fingers and popped his neck. He walked towards Creiger and smiled "Well, I'm about of practice but I think I'm up for the task.", Creiger laughed with deep chuckle and began a walk towards Zero. As they got within reach, Zero's aura lit up and an array of lightning archs blasted out, footprints made of lightning followed his wake as his body became engulfed by an natural element. His body blurred in speed mirrored by Creiger's first assault.
Zero's first strike was blocked with ease and then redirected. Zero pivoted on heel and brought a back hand to Creiger's face making him snap his head back. With that stun, Zero combo'd several shots to Creiger's body, with no effect. The shots were met with a downward axe hand, bringing Zero to his knees, blood spattering the ground as Zero spun on his hands bringing his shin into the knee of the giant.
Creiger shifted his weight and kicked towards into Zero's ribs. Zero flew back a few feet and rolled, breathing frantically as blood streamed out of his mouth.
Creiger bounced on his toes with ease and throw a couple of punches mocking Zero, "I remember you being something more of a savant. You're going to need to try... Ha..ar..dder"
Creiger was beginning to turn red as Zero stood rotating his shoulder and holding his ribs. Something was off about Zero now. His element had taken hold and his mind was finally open to what was going to happen to them if they were caught.
"You are not going to win this Creiger.", Zero said as lightning struck hit the ground, glassing the earth. Creiger smiled and an eerie brown aura formed around Creiger, "You are not the only one who knows how to use element's Little Zero."
Zero smiled remembering the past and seeing images about Creiger being an Earth Style Kineticist. He was a geomancer to a degree, but there was something about him that Zero couldn't remember what made Creiger so special to be in Psychorin.
Creiger stepped forward and Alex met him without the fear. A next blur of assaults from both men were nothing short of extreme as the elements of lightning and earth clashed, just as a man of strength versus a man of speed came together in a blur of motions, leaving craters, cracks and glass flying about.

Corin rounded a corner just in time to see the the last of the exchanges between Creiger and Zero as he had come to realise he was.
On hearing Creiger's name things in Corins brain began to swirl as new memories came to him, visions of staged battles and battle data flowed into his mind at a painfull speed.
Looking up as the battle between the two powerfull men resumed Corins eyes shifted again going from the current metalic silver to a metalic aqua with specks of a crystal blue scattered with in.
Focusing on Creiger Corin imagined his body growing colder and weter, then even colder, he pictured him dripping with water and frost as he body became slower and heaveier making it harder and harder for him to move and making him more and more vaunerable to Zero's lightning.
Corin continued to focus and watch to see what would happen...

Zero and Creiger finally came to a stop after about a full minute of blows and evasions. Both slid back to a halt, Zero slid back to the door frame that Corin stood in, and Creiger slid back to his allied Psychorin partner.
Both looked a bit rough, Zero was bleeding from above his eye, and his arm looked a bit swollen from what looked to be a break. Creiger was bleeding from a wound in his ribs, somehow Zero managed to land a blow that left a gash in his side. But after a moment, neither man back down and they were barely breathing hard.
Zero's lightning arched to Corin, wrapping around him then crawling to the ground where it crawled several seconds then dissapated. Zero glared at him not fully understanding what was happening but appearantly, Corin had awakened his inner abilities.
"Ok Creiger, time to end this.", Zero said forming into a smaller closed stance. His armed drew into his body, and his stance lowered as he bent his knees.
Creiger smiled at him knowing this was the form taught to him by his father, Close combat taken to the extremes, "XCQC"
Zero seemed to phase out leaving nothing in his wake to show where he went. Creiger turned his head, searching for a trace, then found himself with his opponent standing nearly body to body as Zero appeared. After several very fast strikes, Zero began using his elbows and very fast twisted movements to strike at the knees, elbows, shoulders and rib cage of the mountain of a man. Creiger tried to block, but with an arm reach so long, he couldn't properly get hold of Zero's more agile body. With each strike, lightning struck the joints and body of Creiger making him cringe as the power of his assaulter began to take hold.
Creiger postured and began to stagger back, the strikes beginning to take their hold on his joints as the electricity flowing through him constantly was starting to cause a mild paralysis throughout his body. Fighting back Creiger stepped in hard and grabbed Zero, to remind him why he was a beast of a man.
Wrapping Zero in a bear hug, he squeezed him harshly, then leaned back and german suplexed him into the ground, rolling over to pick him up and slam him into the hard concrete surface. It didn't end there, With a swift motion, Creiger used a single hand to grab Zero by the neck and choke slam him into the ground again before picking him up over his head and power bombing him into the concrete.
Creiger huffed as this chain of attacks mixed with the damage he had already taken made him slow. He still had a hand on Zero's leg, while he stared at what looked to be a lifeless body.
Without warning, Zero's pulled his leg back and pulled back his body weight, a high pitch whistle began screaming as psychic energy began flowing through him and focused into his what would be final attack. He pushed forward as hard as he could, putting everything into this attack that he could. Physical, telekinetic and lightning energy sizzled the air and charged into a double fisted body blow, as he slid across the ground putting his weight into it. Zero could not hold back anything here if he had a chance to escape fate and get these guys to freedom.
As the blow connected, an explosion aimed forward hit Creiger and created a monster blast wave of sheer tri-optimal energy that made debris and concrete fly in all directions. Smoke poured from the area where Zero and Creiger fought, as the smoke cleared from Zero, he stood watching the smoke still rising from Creiger was, breathing heavily and slowly moving back to disengage.
A hand flew out from the smoke and grabbed Zero by the throat. A massive hand hellbent on destroying what it touched. Zero couldn't move, he laid everything on the line with that and had nothing left. The man stepped out of the smoke completely unharmed, a few burned, a cut or two, but otherwise completely unharmed by Zero's assault.
Zero coughed as Creiger held him up, looking back to the Female Lead Agent, who was giggling, for instructions. Zero looked at the woman who was holding up a hand with a barrier rune tattooed to her palm. She hadn't flinched except for that, meaning Zero would have killed Creiger, but all he managed to do with that final attack was shatter a barrier. Creiger brought Zero face to face and smiled, "Sooner or later Little Zero, you will learn as the rest of us learned in the past. You cannot do it alone. No one can."
Zero focused on Corin, etching a writing in the ground in front of him, "Fight or Flight... I can do nothing more..." With that little message, Zero went limp, the female agent shook her head in disapproval.
"Now honey, this wasn't necessary. You could have just come with us.", She said with a concerned look on her face. Zero responded rasply, "Screw you Patricia."
Patricia laughed and shook her head looking to Zero, "You already did that. Wanna go again? For old time sake?" With that she looked at Corin, her intent clear, "Capture."

Zero hung by Creiger's grasp, his body limp and hurt. He gasped a little breathing deeply as the pain of his aches and wounds began to take its toll. He held himself up by keeping a tight grip on Creiger's arm, and gathered all of the strength he could muster. He focused as much as he could on keeping conscious. This was a battle he couldn't win alone, to bad he learned of this a bit to late. He analyzed the battle with Creiger in his mind, replaying it moment by moment, hit for hit and block and block. It was after a few moments he realized and understood why Creiger was inside the Psychorin ranks, although he was not mentally adept as the others, his body was nearly completely immune to outside forces such as Telekinetics, mental adept abilities, and magics such as Runes, glyphs, wards and spells. He was a natural counter to all those were used to having abilities at their disposal. This would create a slightly less physically performing fighter, and so to widen the gap of his advantage, Creiger focused on be physically strong, endurant and strong. Not to say he couldn't be overpowered, but the fact that he spent a great portion of his life within the Psychorin ranks, training against those were so much stronger in the mental aptitude assaults, made him adapt against the most brutal and visceral of them all.
Zero thought for a moment and remembered something his father once told him. In reaction, he quickly grabbed Creiger's hand and pushed against his body with his legs while simultaneously vicing Creiger's thumb back to break the hold. The result being a loud crack as his thumb broke, and Zero flying through the air, landing next to the wall beside Corin. Zero leaned with his back against the wall, bleeding from a wound just above his eye, making it hard to see.
Creiger groaned in agony, stepping back and within a moment another cracking sound could be heard as he reset the break. Zero smiled and looked to Corin who appearently had awaken the energies of his soul within himself. Zero began to get concerned as the energies began breaking into other looks. Water into lightning, lightning into earth, fire in air, air into sound and so forth but so much more alive
"What the hell is this?", Zero said in his mind as he focused his power into his TK.

Corin stared at all the soldiers infront of him finally setteling on the woman that appeared to be leading them.
His angziaty, fear, and anger increased as he continued to stare at her smug and aragent attitude.
Corin's eyes flashed over and over passing there way though the color spectrem as the program in his head seemed to spazam unable to lock on to any definative stragaty to win.
Finally the immages stopped and his eyes returned to their normal blue grey color and his mind quited, but his emotions did not subside in fact they seemed to increase.
Fixing his eyes on the woman Corin spoke, " I dont know who you are but I do know why you want me and you can forget it I will die before I return to that imprisioning program of yours, the only question is how many of you I will take with me before I do"
As he took a step forward a strange feeling came over him his body began to feel warm and cold at the same time, his vision seemed to take on an odd multi-dementional view almost as if he was seeing the world overlayed onto itself multiple times but with minute differences.
He could see everyting, the army infront of him, the house behind him, in fact everything all around him at the same time, so Corin never needed to take his eyes off the enemies before him to be aware of the changes in his appearance.
As he staired the woman down his eyes shifted to pure blackness, his entire body became shrouded in a dark haze, even his voice became different deeper more hollow as he raised both of his hands now containing round hazy balls of what appeared to pure blackness, he spoke, " You want me bitch come and get me "..........

Corin was in fact seeing various realms overlapping like mirror images. He could see the people of the corporeal realm, and spectres of the ethereal and shadows from somewhere else, neither here nor there. These shadows loomed over every single entity and seemed to be menacing to those they attached themselves to, except the enemies before him. Creiger, Patricia, the armored Psychorin, the agents and himself did not have those odd shadows.
Patricia gave a small laugh before getting serious, "You my dear boy? Who said we wanted you?" She looked at Zero with intent and then looked back to Corin. "I would be interested in seeing what you could do though.", Patricia continued taking a step forward then taking a sideways battle stance. "Let's see what you've got kid. Oh and it's MRS.BITCH to you."
With that Creiger popped his neck and stepped up to battle. The armored Psychorin tilted his head and stepped closer to Patricia, igniting the flames on his wrists. "The little man wants to play with strange magic, OK, let's play." A french accent voice came from the armored psychorin in an almost laughably high tone, "Class 5 Void user? This should be interesting."
Zero felt something surge through him, a call, a power that he had not felt in a long time, "Bastion?", he spoke lightly as his wounds healed instantly as lightning from Corin carressed his body. He stood slowly with a new vigor, this felt good, almost too good. He reached back and grabbed the katana from his back and slid into a Battoujutsu stance, letting his hand rest at the end of the hilt. He smiled looking to Corin and nodded, "Not sure what you did, but you lead, I'll follow."

Corin turned his gaze to the two members of Psychorin as he spoke " I dont know why your following someone like her but I do know its a good thing my farther is not here to see this.... Quint would have kicked both your asses...
Just as that statement was spoken Corin vanished reapearing right behind the big man in armor slamming the two energy balls together on each side of his armored head as they hit instead of exploding their affect seemed to mirror a major blast of sound energy most likely shattering the mans inner ear and dropping him into uncontiousness. Turning tword Creiger and Patricia he said, Which one wants to be first....

The 2 Psychorin looked at Patricia as she placed a finger over one ear and mumbled something in another language. After that she just walked back and leaned against the car she came from and seemed to be awaiting something.
Creiger rolled his shoulders and seemed to get seriously irritated with the what Corin said, "You know nothing of what he would do you little snot nosed bastard." With that statement he took one step forward then snapped his head to a side to see the metallic Psychorin's body drop to the ground as though he hand turned to good. The sound waves reverberated throughout his body and intensified by the armor, the armor cracked in sevral places as his lifeless body hit the ground.
"Anton!", Creiger shouted in surprise as he looked at what generated the force. He stood looking at Corin, almost confused, then felt a sharp, powerful weapon land upon his back, throwing him into the humvee right next to Anton. Zero smiled and looked to Patricia, "You should train them better. They seem a bit... distracted."
Patricia, not expecting the events unfolding before her, stood in surprise and shook her head. "Now boys, now I have to make up for what they couldn't do."
With that she 'powered up', her clothes shredding off and becoming a tube top and short jeans. Her hair was now tied back, her stance was more aggressive and she seemed a lot more prepared than before.
Zero sheathed his blade and stood once again in Battoujutsu form. He looked at her studying her stance and the flash of power. She was attractive like this, not the agent version of her but definitely the 'bad-ass look'. He shook off his gaze and focused intently on Corin, trying to figure out what he may do next. His movements before were completely unnoticed because he could not see them, but with that type of augment, there had to be some type of drawback.
"Hey Pat...", Zero spoke lightly, "...you won't be taking us in. I promise you that. Two on one doesn't usually mean anything, but unless you have gone way over the top in caliber, you're outmatched and outnumbered."
Patricia smiled, hearing those words before from him once, "Guess we'll see huh? You've got 2 minutes. In 2 minutes, my backup arrives and you're coming in. Easy way or the hard way, up to you."
Zero thought, "2 minutes until backup? Who the hell could even the odds that much?"

Corin charged at Patricia raining blows and void blasts on her as fast as he could, each blow that landed drained a small bit of her energy allowing it to flow into him.
But even this was not enough to keep up with the drain he was feeling what ever this new power was it had done great things for him but it was consuming more energy than he currently had.
The good it had done, burning out the program in his head and somehow inprinting all of that knowledge into his memeory, he now remembered things about his father and his brother life as if he had actually been present for them, But not just them he knew who all of psychorin was and had been, he knew who Patricia was and who her father Simon had been, and that his brother Bastion had been Corins grandfather or mabey great grandfather.
When Creiger had told him earlyer he knew nothing he had not known how wrong he was at times it felt like he knew everything but could not recall it clearly like a forgotten memeory shrouded in fog but like any other memory with the right stimulas or a strong effort the fog could be parted and recalled.
As thoughts began to creap their way into his mind from the fog a thought began to worm its way into his mind, droping back and halting his assult Corin asked, " Why are you here, you said your not after me so that only leaves two possibilities eather your after Zero or the other guy, who by the way we have not seen since the fighting started.
I just wondering cause our families have spent way to long fighting each other instead of working together, your father and my grandfather alone caused enough chaos to nearly ruin the world, so why start that again.
Glancing back tword Zero, Corin tried to mentally pass a message hoping he would catch on and understand... If you have any great escape plan now is the time to use it im less than a minate from passing out here.....

Patricia moved eligantly and swiftly, each blow to be dealt, shunted or blocked, nothing touching her skin, as she stopped with a smooth motion, just before setting sights on Zero, who just smiled and pulled his lifted his sheath from its resting place on the ground. "Wow you have become a beast Patricia. Didn't even break a sweat did ya?", Zero taunted reaching out and grabbing Corin with a Telekinetic Grab and pulling him over to his side, letting him go gently so as to not let him lose his balance. Zero placed an arm around Corin and smiled taking the weight off his feet. "30 seconds to go Corin.", he smiled tapping the sword sheath to the concrete surface. With that Patricia got an odd look on her face as the ground around them began to fade to black. A darkness that reached up and enveloped them both before melting away into nothing leaving only a note behind for Patricia, "Tell you boss, kiss our ass." Around the note was a very large rune created from dragging the sheath around to create various shapes. Almost as though planned, Zero had created a very large rune during his battle with the soldiers and Creiger, and the battle between Anton, Patricia and Corin has only given him the time he needed to finish it. "Jesus Alex.", she said picking up the note and reading it. She smiled and laughed aloud as a figure appeared out of the complex where Corin, Zero and John had been hiding. He was holding an unconscious John in one hand by his belt loop. The figure smiled and poked his head over Patricia to read the note, laughing under his breath. "He has not lost his sense of humor at least.", the figure spoke looking at the damage to the ethereal complex. "But he has weakened." After looking over a few things, Creiger and Anton got up and shook off the beating they took. Patricia had walked over to them and healed them of their wounds and looked them over as they stood, watching Anton especially. "Track them. And get this place cleaned up. Looks like a war zone.", the Lead figure said looking at the massive rune etched into the ground. "This is one of mine. Where did you go Little Z, where did you go?" With that he smiled and got into a car, with John and drove away. Patricia, Anton and Creiger got into a separate vehicle and followed behind as dozens of soldiers and agents appeared from the corporeal realm and began to do, whatever it is they do. Escape... to where?
