"Amazing, even acid that could melt steel as if it were butter is no match for this power." Esdeath mumbled.
Shobu grinned up at her, although his breathing was heavy. "Told ya, I'll be able to do this, once every, I dunno, half a day? Maybe? It uses a lot of energy, but if I concentrate more, it makes it easier." He said through deep breaths.
Esdeath laughed. "Well, you certainly made this more interesting, I can't wait to see you in an hour~" she singsonged, exiting the cell, the signature locking of the doors echoing around him.
She exited the area with a big blush on her face, clearly relieved with her new toy's trick.
Shobu gasped as he released the technique, falling to the ground but catching himself before he fell all the way.
He took deep breaths, knowing that whatever Seryu had planned, she said she was going to do the plan today, after that last hour.
He sighed, standing up.
He's sore all over from the technique, but other than that... he looked himself over. Pretty okay, surprisingly.
He went over and sat on the concrete box shaped like a bed, lying down in it, he propped his head up behind his arms, and waited.
Soon, a clanging began to resound around the abnormally quiet hall, each time the sound getting louder and louder, before his cell.
Two Imperial Guards both stood outside his cell, one of them opening the door.
Another one walked in as she held up a gun, gesturing to the back of the cell, which was roughly fixed. "Face the wall, up along it, I'm surprised you're doing well, wasn't it lady Esdeath that is your torture master?" The female of the two said, walking further into the cell.
Shobu stood up, doing as told, before the female guard made a gesture, and he smirked.
The female guard suddenly twisted around, grabbing onto the male guard and pulling him into the cell, Shobu quickly knocking him out with a hit to the head.
"Quickly, undress him, we have ten minutes before the guards change." The guard stated, her mask doing nothing to hide the smirk on her face. "Let's get you out of here Shobu."
Shobu did just that, a small smirk forming on his own face as he got dressed in the Imperial attire. "Thanks Seryu." He responded.
Once he was fully dressed, she quickly looked him over, fixing some of the lesser details he might be called out for. "Alright, put on the mask and follow me."
Shobu nodded, slipping on the mask.
His tail was uncomfortably tucked so that it was along his back, but as long as he gets out, he doesn't give a damn.
The two exited the cell, making two more checks as per maintenance, and to avoid suspicion, before exiting the hall, walking into a room filled with other Imperial Guards, most of them just relaxing and playing card games.
"We're gonna head out first, Koli and I have a date you see." Seryu stated in front of them all, hugging Shobu's arm and pushing against it.
The other guards ignored her mostly, except for a few who seemed to know Seryu, as she wanted to be known, as well as this "Koli."
"I knew it! Pay up Brandon!" One of them shouted.
Seryu then dragged Shobu out of the room, the two walking out of the main Palace of the Capital.
She glanced up at him. "Pretty good plan yeah?" She asked.
Shobu chuckled. "I guess so, if it works."

Action"You sure this'll work?" Shobu asked, holding the rare ore in his hand, glancing at Okami, before hesitantly looking over at Esdeath, who was waiting patiently for them. "Yes." Okami responded, taking a heavy breath as he held up his own ore. "Alrig...
