[Christian races down the path after EW, who's moving fast enough that Christian's having to push himself to keep up.] [Jacky also races after them!] * Christian keeps an eye and an ear out for Mizuki as he races. And also for Panzermensch, as he's not trucking with that guy. [You reach the maintenance tunnel just behind EW, and race down it. At the end, the doorway is blocked by rubble, and Eternal Warrior begins to frantically pound his way through it. As he does, though, you can feel powerful rumbling from the other side.] * Jacqueline stops /well/ away, given her lack of like for being caught up in the causes of powerful rumblings. * Christian stops too and takes out his comm, whispering into it. "Mizuki, where the fuck are you? What's goin' on?" [Suddenly, you all hear a deafening scream that seems to come from all around you, from everything around you. From the air, from the ground, from the buildings, it pierces into you with anguish. Christian is knocked to his knees by it, and Jacky just barely stays standing; Eternal Warrior falls to one knee, clutching his head.] [A soft, familiar voice echoes out. I am sorry to have not made it further, my new allies, and friends. May the kami, the city, watch over you all..." Another voice, harsher and unfamilar follows. "... and... take these jackasses down."] * Christian winces as he gets put to his knees, nnghing a bit at the scream. [Eternal Warrior shakes his head, and regains his feet, seemingly stunned... the freezes and whispers. "... no. By Odin, no." And then he begins clawing even more frantically at the rubble blocking his way.] * Christian looks at Eternal Warrior slightly and tries not to shout, but it seems like a strain to him. "You know what the fuck's goin' on, spill it. What the fuck's goin' on?" * Jacqueline slowly exhales as she lets the scream wash over her and focuses on staying upright, and then her eyes open and she murmurs, "Stupid woman," before drawing her gun, charing a shot, and firing it at the rubble to explode not far away from the Eternal Warrior's hands. [If Eternal Warrior hears Christian, he doesn't acknowledge it. Blood begins to drip from his fingers, and he lets out a roar of pain.] [Session End]
