Not long after he had dispatched the guard, he threw open the door to the cell, an arm still around the wound in his stomach. He picked up the iron bar and peered around the corner. Jeonbae motioned to the others, and quietly walked outside the cell. In the distance, he could hear crashes and screams, another commotion entirely going on. He frowned slightly, and looked down towards it. He saw three guards running towards the group, and electricity began to crackle at his fingertips. Before he could fire a bolt of lightning, the three guards were pulled back, screaming. From the dark hallway, two figures emerged, a massive panda, and girl with a strange aura around her on his back.
"Hi, not much time to explain, I'm Seloria, this is Tetsuya. More guards that way, so I suggest we find somewhere to run or you brace yourselves for more fighting", the girl said, running out of breath before she finished the sentence.
"You used too much, you haven't used your magic for months Selo, you're pushing yourself", the panda, Tetsuya, said in a deep voice. "We mean you no harm, actually we need your help, I can explain our situation later, but for right now all you need to know is more danger is coming and it seems that man is injured, meaning it might not be smart to fight. I can only kill a number of guards and my...spouse here has tired herself out as much as she would like to disagree."
Seloria punched Tetsuya in the stomach, painfully muttering something Jeonbae couldn't seem to hear. "Please, you are our only hope, I'll help you as much as I can"
Jeonbae nodded, with Aksaja also voicing his agreement. Lightning arced from his fingertips around the two with a crack, striking more approaching guards and throwing them on the ground.
"I can help you, but we need to find a friend of ours first, he should be in the laboratory by now," he said to Tetsuya and Seloria. He ran off down the hall, following the hum of electricity of the machines. Suddenly, an alarm rang out.
"Project Control in effect. Repeat, Project Control in effect. Remain in designated safe zones."
A snarl echoed down from the hall, as a transformed Aster crashed into the wall from an adjacent hallway. He was covered in colorful scales, and energy spiraled off of him uncontrollably in reds and blue. Jeonbae could tell that he wouldn't be able to take him on alone, or risk killing the real Aster. He stopped, nearly tripping, and started running the other way to the group, not looking back at Aster.
"Hey, uh, the Hunters did something to our friend, so we should start running because he's kind of really powerful now," Jeonbae told the group, gasping for air.
