towerofanimus | Is This Home?

Suzaku nodded but didn't say anything, he looked grim. He wanted to ask so many questions, why was he here and how did he get here? Was he hurt?

"Are y..." He winced again as the shocks cut off his words, annd he leaned back against the wall fustrated.

Signless waited as the guard changed, then whirled into action once the old guards were out of sight and - hopefully - earshot. He charged the guards with a low growl, knocking their guns aside and grabbing one of them, wrenching his arm high behind his back and cupping his neck with his sickle.

"Surrender and no one has to get hurt," he said, his crimson eyes piercing into the other guard's.

Not long afterwards, he strolled into the hall outside their cells. "Suze, Minato. Hey. Need a hand?"

"I'm not hurt." Not that much.

Minato glanced up at the unfamiliar person, his expression showing none of the recognition of knowing him. He nodded to his question.

Signless may notice the red SEES armband around his left arm.

Suzaku nodded again, glad he wasn't hurt.

Suzaku's eyes widened when he saw Signless. He had been pretty sure Minato wasn't from his own world but he was completely certain Signless wasn't. What was going on.

"Sign..." He broke off again and nodded to the question with a rueful smile.

Okay, that wasn't cool. Signless gave Minato a curious look, not sure why he wasn't acting like he knew him, but it looked like Suzaku was the one who needed help first.

He sorted through the keys the guards had so kindly provided him before he knocked them out, and unlocked Suzaku's cell. "Probably a good idea to hurry," he said conversationally as he peered at Suzaku's collar to see if he could figure out how to get it off.

Minato stand up. From Signless's expression, he assumed he know the other Minato.

If they're going to escape, Minato need his evoker and sword back. Mainly his evoker, he can always pick up another weapon if they can't get it.

Suzaku stumbled out the cell and smiled gratefully at Signless. He looked at the keys trying to find the one that would open the collar, when he did, or at least three possibilities he turned round, the lock was on the back, so it couldn't be undone by the person wearing it.

Lelouch had stood up and was looking at Signless in horror but he didn't shout out.

Signless saw where Suzaku was looking and quickly found the right key, then unlocked the collar. "There you go," he said, flashing a grin, and moved quickly to open Minato's cell as well.

Then, with the doors and collars dealt with, he glances as Lelouch, the last prisoner, then looks at his roommate, eyebrows rising. Where next, native?

"Thank you."

Minato said, after leaving his cell. He, too, glanced over at Lelouch and then at Suzaku. "...Suzaku-san, I need to get my evoker back."

"Thank you," Suzkau rubbed his neck where the collar had been, he really disliked them.

"Your evo... oh the gun Minato-san?" He exited the cell and looked around trying to work out the best way to go. "Do you remember which guard took it." Lelouch had followed him out of the cell, Suzaku didn't say anything though, as much as the other man hated him it was Suzaku's fault he was in this mess so the least he could do was rescue him.

"Oh yeah, better get that back," Signless said, wincing as he glanced at Minato. "Sorry, I didn't see where they took your stuff. I also have no idea how to get out of here. I came through the door in the cafeteria, but it disappeared behind me, and Psiioniic never came through."

"It's okay. They also got my sword, but my evoker's more important." He glanced at Signless, then at Suzaku. "I remember the guard."

Paying attention was a key aspect to being the leader.

"A door in the cafeteria?" How did that even work? Suzaku frowned, but there were more important things to worry about, like getting out of this palace. "Hopefully Psi is safe," as unbelievable as it was the Tower was probably safer then this situation they had found themselves in.

"We will get back you're evoker Minato-san. If we can get to where they keep the Knightmare Frame's I can get us out of the palace and... and then we can go from there..."

Because if they were stuck here... Suzaku didn't want to be a prisoner in the tower but the thought that this was what his world was now, Schneizel had won everything they had fought for had been for nothing, Lelouch hated him...

Lelouch, "You can come with us..." he muttered to Lelouch, after all it was his fault everything had gone wrong to begin with, least Suzaku could do was rescue him.

They should probably get going, before someone noticed they'd escaped.

Signless nodded and headed for the door. "They have to have stashed your things nearby," he muttered, poking his head out and looking from side to side, then drawing his hood up to hide his alien features as far as possible.

"What's a Knightmare Frame?" he murmured to Suzaku as he turned towards a likely door.

Minato walked with them, listening carefully for anything approaching them. He didn't look at Suzaku, but he's curiously waiting for an explanation about Knightmare Frame.

"And are they easy to use?"

"They are... humonoid fighting machines," he said, the quick version. He looked around as well, looking for guards, or places where they could have put Minato's evoker.

"We should all be able to fit in one," it would be a squeeze, they really were only made for one but neither Minato nor Signless were that tall.

He looks to Minato to see if he had spotted the guard who took his stuff yet.

Signless opened the door and dragged two unconscious guards out of the storage closet. "Either of these the one who took your stuff, Minato?" he asked, tilting their faces up so the teenaged human could see.

He stepped forward once, for a better look. It took him only a brief moment to scan both of them, then nodded before gesturing to one of them. "It's him."

Suzaku went over to the guard in question, sure enough he had a sword and two guns, "Is this it?" He picked up the gun that wasn't a Britanian military issue and held it out to Minato.

"Fantastic," Signless said, flashing fang in a fierce grin. "Anyone else have anything they desperately need to find, or can we blow this grubpop stand and get the fuck out of here on those metal knighthoofbeasts?"

Minato took the gun and quickly check it. Empty barrel and familiar design, good. He nodded, confirming that it's the right gun. "Yes, it is."

Suzaku nodded, he looked around, they had to find the Knightmare Frame hold and get out of here. Lelouch started stalking down one of the coridoors Suzaku shrugged, "I guess he's been here longer." He followed.

Signless shrugged and followed, relieved for Minato's sake that he had his Evoker back, and just as glad to get out of here. He kept his hood up, even though the holes showed off his nubby horns, shadowing his alien features.

"Friend of yours?" he asked Suzaku quietly, cocking his head at Lelouch. He couldn't remember seeing him in the tower, but that didn't mean anything. He looked pissed, though.

Keeping his evoker in his hand, Minato followed after them. There's a possibility that they might get attacked. A nagging thought wondered if he can summon in this world properly, but he hope he can for their sake.

Minato glanced over at Lelouch's back, then briefly at Suzaku. Lelouch looked rather displeased, to say at least.

"Sort of," Suzaku looked towards Lelouch who seemed to know where he was going. "It's a long story," ending in the fact that Suzaku had betrayed Lelouch (again) and they probably wern't even the sort of friends that they had been before Suzaku had been taken to the tower.

"I'm his knight," was probably the best explanation for now and he followed Lelouch silently.

"It will be guarded," he told them as they approached what was hopefully the Knightmare Frame hold.
