Lyn, you should be thankful they didn't listen to you. You almost blew your cover.

It's really our cover now, wouldn't you say?

I'm no pawn pf Hīragi's, Lyn, nor shall I ever be.

You'll come round to us later, Valerie~.

Don't you call me th- At this point, Eleanor had asked him to cover her.

"I don't know what your planning, Ele, but I trust you. I'd cover you regardless."

Just as Val had told him, Rai stood his ground at the sewers entrance, ready to attack any vampire who was foolish enough to advance. One vampire rushed him, but he was blocked and quickly dispatched by Rai. Shit. That's a lot of vampires. he thought to himself as he gazed at the oncoming hordes. Rai quickly backed up into a defensive stance so he could think for a moment. Okay, so Cheren's in the sewer, Jean's right here with us, Ellie took off... Rai's train of thought was interrupted by a vampire who decided to attack. Rai just barely blocked his attack in time before delivering his deadly retort, consisting of three quick jabs to the bloodsucker's abdomen. Rai made his way over to Jean's position, six more vampires had decided to try their luck and were currently approaching him, Rai looked to Jean and asked "Which ones do you want, left or right?"

"I'm going to go with right, bruv." Jean charged towards the three vampires he was targeting. He somersaulted over the first one to decapitate the second's head, and landed onto the third with his sword embedded in its chest. He quickly pulled it out and dodged an attack from the last vampire. Jean faked out this one, and impaled it through the heart. "How you doing, Rai?"

"Alright then, that leaves me with these poor bastards." Rai cockily said. Quick as a bullet, Rai rushed and impaled the first vampire on his right gauntlet. Using the vamp's corpse as an impromptu shield, he blocked the assault of the second vampire, and delivered a fatal slash to his attacker's throat. He quickly pushed the corpse off of his gauntlet before dodging to narrowly avoid an attack from the final vampire. Idiot. Utilizing the gap left in his defenses, Rai sliced the vampires sword hand clean off and plunged his other gauntlet into the vampires now undefended flank. "They're done for." Rai said as he pushed the last vampire off his gauntlet with a grunt.

Valerian grimaced as he watched vampires becomes nothing after being shot by a single bolt. Whilst he knew they would have done the same to him if they could of, the thought of doing that to another living being did not settle well with him. Maybe they'd reform, he'd though, but then he'd always respond with the fact that the entire concept of a vampire was that of a leech-like parasitic being that sustained themselves off of humans. But seeing Aya had changed this. She had been forced into being a vampire; it wasn't her choice. She had been made into a parasite - taking her as an example, they couldn't help it. Yet there still stood a certain animosity towards vampires - an innate dislike, as if they had wronged him in a way. In truth, the only way he could think that they had wronged him directly was through Aya. Even so, that wasn't him, and she still lived, even if a vampire.

He shook off the thoughts are continued covering the team as they made their way to the sewers.

You're always so quiet in your thoughts, Val.

How wrong she was.

I don't have much to think about. Just killing vampires.

It had taken a matter of seconds to shield his thoughts from Lyn upon meeting - he had immediately suspected she could not be trusted. The skills in mindfulness he had learnt to cope with Aya's death had taught him how to focus and how to move on. Invaluable in protecting his true thoughts from the Hīragi he had been assigned to.

"We should hurry this up, guys. We don't have all day." With that, he cloaked himself using Lyn's ability, and headed down to regroup near the entrance to the sewer. He would fight melee if he had to.

Cheren was in recovery phase down in the sewers. His body was drained of energy and he was only able to barely wrap up the cuts all across his arms. The blood lost during the fight was showing signs of Cheren paling and he shakes his head awake...doing his best to stay alive. He was silently cursing in his head about how the commander really should have mentioned specific details about his orders so he didn't have to come out of this with so many wounds. The fact that some even complicated things didn't help...however, he did keep crawling or limping as best he could to move deeper into the sewers. Not too far so the others couldn't find him, but at least a good distance away.

"...couldn't...be simple."

There was no way Mita was going down in the sewer. Well at first thats what she thought, then everyone else left. She knew there was no way she could fight on her own. She sent one final blow, impaling a vampire in the ches.d her sword out and quickly backed away. Once she was a few feet away, she sheathed her sword in the holster(wronf word for swords i think but i don't know the real one) and ran towards the sewer. She jumped down, landing with a tumble and quickly recovered to her feet.
