They had been there for an entire day. They knew because Seto's cell had a window where he could see the sun set. They were still there when the sun rose. There was little conversation, mostly they were arguments made by Seto and Harvey, and Sky never said a thing as he sat in his cell. The only time they had any contact with someone aside from themselves was when some squid guards brought them trays of food. Some jeered at them, some never said a thing. The food was disgusting so they didn't even really eat either.

It was mid day on their second day there when the grating of the vents that were above them fell to the ground. A few of them shot to their feet, including Sky, while some stayed sitting on the ground of their cell, staring with wide eyes. A few moments passed before a white bag fell out, landing with a soft thud before falling onto it's side. Mitch gasped as he saw his bow and quiver tumble out, a few arrows falling out along the way. Then someone jumped down, landing on their feet. Husky's eyes widened before he grinned widely.

"Chance!" He whispered as everyone scrambled to their feet, running to the entrances of their cells. Chance smirked at Husky as he walked over to his cell, holding up a pair of keys.

"Come on Husk, you though I'd leave you?" The teenager asked in his deep Russian accent, and Husky smirked.

"For awhile I did! You're lucky you came back, otherwise I would have hunted you down if I got out." Chance snickered before he unlocked Husky's cell, the Mudkip pushing it open as Chance got to unlocking all the other cells. Soon everyone was out of their cells, picking up their weapons from the bag. Deadlox held his daggers close, letting out a soft sigh of relief before putting them in the sheaths on his belt. True spun his katana once before putting it in it's sheath on his back, sighing in relief.

"Fuck this place." Jerome growled as he checked Betty for any nicks, sighing in relief when he saw none. He looked at the others. "So how are we getting out of here?" He asked.

"The vents are probably the best choice." Chance said, and Husky nodded as he looked up at the vent Chance had appeared from.

"We're too weak to even think about trying to fight our way out. Besides, we don't seem to be the best team." He said, glaring at Seto, who glared back fiercely.

"If you fight, I'm slitting your throats." Sky snapped, and Seto fell silent as Husky raised an eyebrow at him. He looked up at the vent, then sighed. "Alright, the shortest one goes first." Instantly, everyone looked at Deadlox. Deadlox stared at them, before he narrowed his eyes.

"Oh hell no." He pointed at Seto. "Let Harry Potter go first." Seto looked at him with confusion.

"Harry Potter?" He asked, and Sky shook his head.

"Ignore him. I'll give you a boost Seto."

"This is such a pain." Derek muttered as he and Alek stood in front of the squid base, staring up at it. "This dinner is such an idiotic idea. So we signed the treaty- What's the point of celebrating? We're going into a war." Alek rolled his eyes as he looked at him.

"Loosen up Derek!" He said. "Cain is being really nice inviting us here! He even said we can bring leftovers back to our clan!" Derek rolled his eyes.
