A brand new group is on the making, The Apostles, a Pillar-like group led by none other than our brand new headmaster, Gregoire Girard. A student body that would lead students and enforce the law on this little school of ours. Little is still known about this student body, but who knows? It might just be what the school needs.

A lunch box is seen last Friday, around 12:37:08pm with an encouraging note packed inside. This appalling display that utterly lacked manliness has left many students stunned and outrage, as some decided, after a long while, to speak out against it.

Valo, Ruby, Soran, Yukine and Zoe
As the group spent time trying to figure out how to cross the water, things would become a little more dangerous. From further down the tunnel and around a corner, a thunk of metal hitting stone once and then twice happened. Power lines being cut, suddenly the tunnel would be plunged into darkness as they tried cross. Luckily this meant the water was not electrified any longer. However, the sound of foot steps approaching and speaking came from where the previous sound had come. "I've cut the lines, the light are ou....OH FUCK." The voice would cut off as it turned the corner and somehow was still able to see the group in the darkness. "There's guys in the first tunnel too." The man would finish, and the sound of foot step would become a run.
A run toward Soran from behind, suddenly there was the sound of scrapping metal along the roof as the unknown man swung a fire axe over head in an attempt to hit Soran where he had been.
Player Troop - Stats 30 +5 Strength with AXE.

Macht and Sarah
Debris was ripped apart as it was used to set off mines ahead. Each device making a loudish bang, firing a spike straight up through the object and impaling into the roof of the tunnel. However the path had been cleared and they would be able to move on. They would get a little way ahead when suddenly the light in the tunnel would drop. A by-product of the cut lines in the other tunnel.
But with the way ahead clear, they would be able to move on through the darkness uncontested. A little further on the pair would reach a junction, had they not found a way of lighting the area, they would only know by the sound of breathing ahead and to the right. Either way, if in darkness of light. If either of them poked a head out or stepped into the opening of the junction. A man with a shotgun looking device attached to a backpack would be standing there. Pulling the trigger, if it was dark the area would be lit, for a flash as an arc of lightning would aim out at whoever had moved into sight.
HUDSON Arc Welder: Once per 15 INT of the creator (35 INT/2 Uses) This electric welder can be overloaded in a fashion to function as a weapon. Firing a bolt of electricity at high speed. This does 3/4 the creators INT in Damage (26). + Unknown Info.

Sarah participated in setting off the traps with rubble and watching as the spikes went up into the ceiling. The way ahead seemed clear but dark so she inched her way forward, keeping her foot work as light as possible in case another trap was detected. Sarah heard breathing and slowed but did not stop, not wanting to alert the person that she had heard them, she put up a hand to Macht if he was behind her and tried to get the jump on the source of the breathing.
As the arc shot she would take the hit to her side, her hand reaching to grab the man by the throat while the electricity continued, her initial plan was to grab him by the throat and bang his head against the wall for a quick hit to disorient until they could tie him up and question him, but perhaps the current would flow into him as well.
(OOC: Half int proves greater than half damage. Mag: 17)
She'd attempt to hold him like this while breathing through the small shock that this attack hit her with, hoping Macht could just reach over and pound the guy. Barring that she'd continue with her plan to bash him against the wall by his throat.

Well that wasn't good. Lights going out was most likely not something you wanted when in a dark spooky tunnel- especially one with possible electrically charged water. As soon as everything went dark, Zoe reached up, pressing on her glasses as a bright light shined out from the corner of one of them, like one of those flashlights you could add to your phones. She'd also take out phone and use the flashlight application on it, so yay, double lights. The lights would go up just in time to illuminate the man attempting to attack Soran.
”Soran! Watch out!” she'd call out, eyes wide. Why was a man with a fire axe down here!? She'd turn, looking about as she tried to light up the tunnel.

Son of a bitch.
The lights shut off, and Valo was annoyed that one shitty situation turned into an even smellier shitfest. He stood there in silent contemplation, trying to get his eyes to adjust to the darkness. A strange sound, however, caught his attention, and he tried to focus on it... only to see the source of it when Zoe flashed her light. He saw Soran about to get attacked, and his rage instantly triggered.
"Oh, no you fucking don't."
He growled as he charged forward as fast as he could, his hand coming up to catch the fire axe by the handle as his other hand slammed into the man's throat, Valo using his momentum to push the guy all the way towards the wall and slam him into it viciously. Valo's hands were imbued with flames, a brand on his hand glowing brightly. His hand would move from the fire axe and he would punch the man in the face three times before headbutting him in the nose hard. From there, Valo would lift him up above the ground by the throat, his other hand grabbing the man's shirt with the intention of lighting him aflame. As punishment, he was going to use the man as a torch, no matter how much the man screamed from the burns.
"You don't fuck with my family, you piece of shit."
If all of this was successful, Valo would move forward as far as he was able to with the man's burning body held up to light the way. If he made it to the end of the tunnel, or was otherwise halted, he would toss the man aside.
"Leave him be, the flames don't last long." was all he would say about it. Based on those voices from before, he had other targets to worry about...

Before Macht would continue down the hall, he would see if he could take any of the spikes to use as weapons. If he was able, he would take two for now and be on his way.
As the lightning shot was fired, Sarah took the hit, leaving Macht no time to tank it in her place. However, she set him up for the perfect chance to end this guy here and now. IF MACHT COULD TAKE THE SPIKES he would charge forward and rip them into the man's ribcage from underneath, before rending his stomach and letting him fall to the ground. IF MACHT COULD NOT TAKE THE SPIKES , he would charge forward, going for the shotgun with his right hand and sending out a hard left hook for the man's jaw with enough force to shatter it upon contact. If successful, he would pull the weapon from the man's hands, before batting the butt of it into his nose to break it.
Whichever method Macht had to use, the end result would be the same - the man should be dead, with Macht now holding the shotgun. Now, with the light it gave off earlier, he could probably use it as a legitimate light source, but he decided to save whatever weird energy was within for what dangers may lay ahead. Lifting his prosthetic arm, the gears and pistons would activate for a moment to create sparks and a small combustion to see if it would light the area enough so they could see where they were, and where they needed to go.

Ruby raised an eyebrow when the blue-haired boy seemed to suggest jumping over, just like the other boy had before the blonde girl suggested otherwise... well, Ruby didn't care, so long as she didn't have to swim across. However, when she made it to the other side with the others, the lights went out. She figured that either it was a power outage... or someone was coming and didn't want them to see. She would take off her eye patch and put it in her pocket, brushing her hair out of her face so she could see with her eye that was accustomed to the dark. Instantly, she noted one of the beings coming straight at Soran with what looked like an axe, and she stepped to the side of the wall, trying to stay out of their way. The blonde-haired girl seemed to have some little lights to see a little of what was going on in the dark, but it would really be a challenge if one was not so accustomed to darkness... The question was, were the enemy blindly attacking anyone? They could probably see in the dark, or could they? Ruby certainly couldn't fight very well in the dark, she knew she was anything from strong, so should she run and take advantage of it being so dark to get away? But then, what if she got separated from them? That would make it more dangerous, wouldn't it? She would grab Yukine's arm and pull him away from the fray, against a wall. She wasn't sure if they should fight or not, but the blonde's little flashlight would still be extremely challenging to fight with. Ruby would stay alert in the darkness, cautious for if anyone tried coming at them as well...

Beneath the Tower (Valo, Zoe, Yukine, Ruby, Soran.) Soran would turn and managed to punch the guy in the gut, however he would stagger back and avoid the follow up punch from the blue haired boy would whiff passed. A fat lot of of good it would do the player troop though, as Valo came in hard and fast grabbing the axe as the man staggered and attacked unrelentingly. The guy went down inflames, between the flash light of the phone Zoe held, and the smoulder of fall man, the tunnel was not as dark as it once been. Regretfully though Valo, in his rage had struck without realising in the half light that the man wore goggles of some kind. Goggles that were now completely smashed to pieces and unusable. The axe still could be used, but that was about it. Moving on, Zoe would be able to somewhat light the way, and eventually the sound of talking would be up ahead and around a corner. It was indistinct, until someone in a loud voice ordered everyone to shut up. They lowered there voice once more though, so the order they gave following that was hard to hear. When the group reached the end of the turning they would be greeted by the sight of five men. On the far wall if the light was shined in that direction. Was a smashed open wall and beyond that steel which had been cut open. Cut open by the HUDSON Arc Welder that one of the men had pointed in the groups direction. While two others had axe's like the previous man. The last two men, seemed to be struggling strapping up a large safe, to some rope and harness and pushing it up for someone in unseen whole in the ceiling to pull clear. The arc welder would be aimed at Valo and fired, while the two with axe's charged Soran, one sweeping down at him, with the full length of the axe and the other ready to cut in as he dodged or attacks. 3 Player Troops - 30 Stats, 2 armed with axes, 1 armed with HUDSON Arc Welder.2 Player Pawns - 20 Stats, neither appears armed. Unknown man or men above.---Rolling the Sixes (Macht and Sarah.) From the combined efforts of Sarah and Macht, the single player troop would go down easy. Macht having managed to get the spike he wanted would end up killing the guy with the stab under the ribs though. A shame seeing as Sarah wanted to take him alive. Either way the pair would find two things of note on the man. Obviously the first was the HUDSON Arc Welder, which only had a single shot remaining. While the second would be a pair of goggles, night vision goggles to be exact. A special pair, that was immune to light blinding. Regardless of what they took or not, if the pair continued on they would eventually come to a turning, they would be able to hear noise from around the corner. "FUCK BRO THAT AIN'T ROOKE'S MAN." A voice would shout when either of them came into view. Farther down, they would see a room, if they could see and 3 men, one of them a hulking form at that. If Macht came into sight the largest man, would reach down and grab the safe that the other two were trying to tie to some rigging, and one handedly toss it up through a hole in the ceiling. "YO BRO, REMEMBER ME." Six would shout and started heading toward the tunnel into the room they were in. Planning to cut off a likely incoming charge from Macht. Uno (1)[Stats 20], Snake eyes (2)[Stats 19], TTT (3)[Stats 18]. Each is equipped with a unknown ability item.
Six - Stats 26 (46) Is equipped with 3 ability items, and a god item.

"Dibs," Sarah said as she looked through the goggles. After all, it was only fair, he got the cool gun thingy and she got his goggles. She looked through them a bit, one eye was open due to sigil. "I... think it'd be a bad idea but I kinda feel like breaking these in half and each of us using a single lens would be convenient..." She looked at it and thought about Buster. What happened if she broke buster in half, would it make two swords?
No, it'd make garbage. Heavy, expensive, garbage.
"Maybe that could work though. I'm gonna hold onto them for now, if we find some light I'll check them out." She put them on, fully intending to look through them first chance she got so she could see about taking off the casings and seeing if she could make that work somehow.
"There's a corner coming up," She said as she continued down the path they were heading.
"FUCK BRO THAT AIN'T ROOKE'S MAN."
"Rooke, sounds like the person we are after is named Rooke." She said as she saw the room ahead, "There's a safe, and a room, and a few guys. One of them looks like he's eyeing you."
"YO BRO, REMEMBER ME."
"Big guy, just tossed the safe with one hand. Here, I'll give you first dibs." Sarah handed over the goggles, knowing that Macht having more limbs than her put him at a distinct advantage. Besides, he had the gun, the least she could do is let him aim the thing if he was going to use it.

Ruby stared as the guys started to attack various members in the group. She'd take Yukine's hand and pull him to one of the walls, hiding back in the shadows and trying to maintain invisibility while the chaos pursued. With any luck, she'd stay invisible and nobody would even notice her presence until she felt it was safe to keep going... She knew how to fight if the time came for it--though without a weapon would be very difficult--but when it came to serious battles she truly just preferred to stay back and avoid conflict, getting by unnoticed. She felt bad that she was letting the others get all the attention and she did nothing to help, but she knew she wouldn't be too much of a help anyway and... it was just better this way if she didn't get involved. If someone was about to die and no one was doing anything, she'd surely step in then, but until then... she preferred to wait in the shadows of the halls before the lit-up room. Of course though, she kept up her guard to attack or dodge any oncoming attacks...

Macht would take the goggles and only hold them over his eyes for now, as putting them on would require just a little too much time. As Six made his rush, Macht would simply raise the arc welder and fire at him to slow him down. From there, he would throw the weapon forward and leap with all of his might, bringing down his prosthetic to slam into the ground where Six was initially.

Seeing the broken goggles, Valo sighed, having let his rage and desire to protect his brother push him a little too far. Oh well. He picked up the fire axe along the way, noting that he could do some heavy damage with that. It felt nice, sturdy, heavy. He tried to push away the Wraith's thoughts that told him to just seek bloodshed and go nuts, opting to remain as calm as possible.
This is my story, not yours.
As they reached the new area, Valo saw what was waiting for them and his eyes widened. He quickly jumped to his right side, rolling into a crouching position and throwing the axe as hard as he could at the Arc Welder with the intention of destroying it completely, or at least rendering it unusable enough for them to deal with the people here. What the hell was this place, and why were they being attacked? So close to the school too...

Zoe would continue shining the lights from her glasses and phone as they continued down the tunnel. She'd gulp silently, growing more anxious with each stop. Something was beyond wrong down here. The girl couldn't put her finger on it. Maybe it was the sudden man attacking them, the unnaturalness of an earthquake in New York or maybe it was the group of men seemingly pulling a giant safe into the ceiling. Wait what?
Zoe would double take as she saw the group and the safe. Suddenly, everything began to be put together. ”Guys! I think they caused the earthquake when they smashed through the walls!?” she spoke out loud, shining the lights brightly on them as she stepped back, trying to avoid getting too close to the fighting.

When Valo jumped aside bringing the axe up to throw it at the man who had the arc welder, the man was no fool. However he was not quite as good at Valo dodging instead throwing himself bodily to the ground, the man would struggle to bring the weapon up to aim at Valo, click, nothing. "SHIT SHIT SHIT." The guy shouted, hitting the gun trying to get it to work [Unknown Info of HUDSON Arc welder revealed - The welder has a flaw which means it has a intermittent recharge time. The welder's power cannot be used in one round of posting after being used in the previous round.]
When Soran fired out his chain at the goon on the left, the fact there was still distance between them would give the man time to react. Had Soran let them get closer, instead of firing out straight away the man would not have. The guy would bring his axe down and around catching the chain, if Soran still decided to pull, it would pull the thing out of them man's hand. Swinging out in front of the second goon, who forced himself to stop in order to not get hit by the flying axe. "Fuck it." The second one would shout, and in a sort of mirror of Valo would bring the axe up and send it flying towards Soran.
Ruby and Yukine at the back would not escape notice for long. As the two player pawns would finish strapping the safe up, the unknown man above would start to pull the safe upwards, it moving about half way to the whole if no one stopped it. The two pawns would turn to the chaos and one would start running for another Arc welder leaning up against a wall, to try and bring it up to aim pass Valo and Soran at Ruby. While the other would grab an axe and would charge, hoping that Soran and Valo would be too distracted by there own foes, aiming to reach Yukine and take him in the shoulder with a downwards swing of the Axe.
Zoe examining the surroundings would truly believe her reasoning. The way the wall was broken, how it split upwards to the ceiling did suggest that whatever the had used to get in had cause some seismic activity that dumped them here. Also with this fact and where they had traveled, on the way here. Zoe would be able to start to figure out where in relation to the school they were. Wherever they were must have been pretty deep under the school, or at least close enough to the school. Why was this place here, what where they stealing and from who??
---
Six had been moving forward to face Macht, however he had not been charging simply moving forward ready. That did give Sarah and Macht the time to exchange the goggles and for Sarah to speak to Macht, however it would mean there was slightly more distance between them. This was the first issue, the second was the fact that when Macht lifted the gun to fire and pulled the trigger nothing happened. [Unknown Info of HUDSON Arc welder revealed - The welder has a flaw which means it has a intermittent recharge time. The welder power cannot be used in one round of posting after being used in the previous round.]
When Macht threw the device after it failed to fire, Six would bring up his right hand up to bat the thing away up and to his right as Macht leap into the air and came down towards him to try and slam his left arm into him. With his right arm already raised from smashing the weapon away, Six would grab Macht's wrist as it came down toward him. "Too easy bro." Six taunted and started spinning, he would try and swing Macht over his head and into the ground behind were he had been. [God Item Revealed - Six's Sick Servo Armour, 1 post per 10 INT, the user gains +10 STR, while in use, when the user throws an object or person they instead gain +25 STR to the effect of throwing the object/person instead of +10 (1 of 4 used, +10 as attack is slam not throw.]
As Six tried to deal with Macht, the rest of the riverside skull would be charging in around them, trying to reach a position to block Sarah from reaching the to powerhouses and lend a hand.
