Warehouse, Yamaguchi
(July 13th, 2010)

"There is a metal door in the arena that leads outside of here."

Aika, Chuuya and Hiroshi were planing they're escape. They were leaving the warehouse.

"If we use your guys' gravity abilities, we can easily knock it down." Hiroshi said, confident in the plan him and Chuuya came up with. "If I need to, I'll knock out the guards at the door. But we should be able to get past them without having to fight."

Chuuya nodded. "Obahoru sleeps for about 5 hours a day, that's when the guards outside our door change with other guards and bring us water. When they come in, I'll get them out of the way and we'll run to the arena."

Aika's gaze was shifting between her siblings, a mix of worry and confusion clouding her expression.

They've been planning to escape for about a month, when they would leave the room to go to the lab or go to the arena, they would watch the guards. Scan every one of their movements and actions.

They also got their hands on a map of the place that the newbie guard had, they realized that escaping was now an option.

"The outside world is scary," Hiroshi started, looking at Chuuya and Aika. "but if we have each other I think we'll be okay." He believed every word he said.

They were ready, it was time to leave, finally.

When the sun went down and the sky was covered in it's dark blanket, they started getting ready.

They read the map, over and over again, memorizing the pathways. They watched the guards, took a fighting stance when they switched with other guards and came in to give the kids water.

The moment the men stepped foot in the room, they were already being slammed against the wall.

Aika, Chuuya and Hiroshi may be kids, but they were trained like weapons.

They ran.

Sprinting out of the room, they ran down the tunnel, turning on the left to find three guards.

"Shit! Get them!" One of the men yelled.

The two others at his side ran towards the children, going unconscious and falling to the floor in seconds thanks to Hiroshi's ability.

The man who yelled, stood there for a second, debating whether he should just round them up or go get help. That was a mistake.

The Nakahara siblings were behind him before he could get a chance to actually think. Aika hit the back of his nape whilst Chuuya tripped him, the three running from an unconscious man.

They ran, through tunnels and stairs, only stopping a few times to hide from guards and to catch their breath.

They got to the training room, the big arena they have trained in since they were little seeming more daunting than ever, now that there were six guards waiting for them.

Hiroshi turned on his ability, knocking out 4 of them as the Nakahara siblings took out the other two.

Then, out of nowhere, a loud thump sounded, echoed.

"Did you really think you could escape?" Kazue was speaking, they couldn't see him but his scratchy and deep voice was recognizable from a mile away.

Hiroshi stepped in front of his siblings, getting into a fighting position to protect them.

They have to escape, he thought, I'll fight him so they can run.

"Aika! Chuuya run! Get out!" He said, turning his head slightly to look at them. "I'll catch up."
