towerofanimus | Is This Home?

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.

Signless arched an eyebrow and shrugged. It sounded like it was probably a lot more complicated than that, but it wasn't really his business unless Suzaku decided to talk about it. And now wasn't the time.

As they approached the hold, the troll pulled his sickles out of his specibus and grinned. "I'm ready."

It seemed like there's a history between Suzaku and Lelouch. Whatever it was, now was not the time for it.

Gripping his evoker, he nodded to Suzaku and Signless. "Ready."

Suzaku nodded, Lelouch had slowed down now, waiting for them to catch up. That must mean they were there, he pushed open the door and was relieved to see it was the right place.

The three engineers looked up in surprise, Suzaku was just relieved Lloyd was not one of them. Then again he had been in the tower for a while so he was probably considered a traitor also...

There were three soldiers also and they ran towards them, bringing out their guns to shoot.

Signless was out in front in an instant, baring sharp teeth in a protective snarl as he strifed. He threw one sickle and it knocked the first soldier's gun out of his hand, opening a deep gash in his arm that bled bright candy red.

It was a superficial wound, but the soldier dropped with a scream. He'd be all right, Signless was sure. He was equally sure that talking wasn't going to help in this instance, so the key was subduing these soldiers quickly, and non-lethally, if possible.

If anyone's expecting Minato to fire his 'gun' at the soldiers, they would be very surprised to see him pointing it at his head. Immediately before anyone can stop him, he pulled the trigger.

Surrounded by a blue aura, a strange coffin (http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080625015127/megamitensei/images/3/3d/Mot.png) appeared. The lid opens to let an arm out and wave its hand at the soldiers. Then, an odd energy wave swept through them, before one of the soldiers look very fearful and backing away.

Suzaku had witnessed the other Minato summon his monster, and so didn't bat an eyelid when he shot himself in the head instead. He kicked a solider, stealing his gun when he fell to the floor. He paused when the energy wave swept through the room, not wanting to get in the way of anything that was about to happen.

Signless had seen it before, too, though the Minato he knew had summoned something quite different. As the last soldier was taken down by Suzaku, he scooped up his thrown sickle and looked around warily for any signs of other resistance.

The energy wave would cause the target to feel fear, if it hits. Fortunately, it pass through the three of them harmlessly, as Mot knew they're allies from his mind. Minato's glad they, Suzaku and Signless, wasn't freaking out over his Persona summoning.

Which meant the other Minato summoned before, unsurprisingly.

He glanced around, as the arm retreated into the coffin.

Suzaku glanced round as well, checking to see if any back up turned up, if they had had any time to sound an alarm before they got attacked. It didn't seem so, Suzaku started hunting for an access key, he grabbed the first one he found. "It will be tight but we will all fit in the cockpit," it would be very tight but since they had both looked confused at his mention of a Knightmare Frame Suzaku assumed that it was not something they had in their own worlds.

He found the corrosponding frame quickly and nodded for them to get in, he just hoped it had enough power to get them out of here. Doing this with no backup from engineers was stupid but it wasn't the first time, Suzaku continued looking around gun ready in case anyone arrived.

Signless blinked up at the big robot, then climbed up and settled in the crook of one elbow to give Suzaku a chance to tell him where to sit in the cockpit. "Fuck, I'll admit that's impressive. Trolls have never developed vehicles that look like robots. We tend to do one or the other."

Minato had to admit, the robot looked impressive. He climbed inside after Signless and move into the other side for space, glancing around at the interior and the space. "I haven't seen any robots this large before."

Suzaku blinked at them both, he had thought perhaps they might have similar technology in their world called by different things, but they seemed to have never seen anything like this befoe. "Well they are relatively recent, they were first used to take Japan and that was only eight years ago." He sat in the chair and plugged the acess card in.

"Sit anywhere there's room and hold on." Lelouch glowered at him as the knightmare frame started up. Luckily it has enough Sakuridite.

"Ready?"

Signless climbed in after Suzaku and squeezed his stocky body in next to the chair, bracing himself. "Yeah, most robots I've seen were troll-sized. But it's a creative idea. I can think of a couple of people who'd need to grab a pail after seeing something like this."

He nodded. "Ready to go, Suze."

"The robots I know are human sized." Minato sat down, bracing himself for take off. "I'm ready, Suzaku-san."

"Human sized robots?" Suzaku looked over his shoulder, "How do you control them to fight?" He took a breath and placed his hands on the controls feeling a thrill, it had been a long time since he had driven a knightmare frame and he had missed it. Britannia might have destroyed his country, his childhood. He might have almost lost himself in joining them, in attempting to bring change from the inside.

They might have now won and destroyed the last chance the world had at peace but somehow when he was back in the seat of a Knightmare frame he felt as much at home as he ever did.

He didn't think that was healthy, but he couldn't bring himself to care and he had more important things to think about. He nodded at Minato and Signless and the Knightmare started moving, bursting through the door gun blazing.

"Mostly they control themselves, from what I understand," Signless said with a laugh.
