❝ Oh, I wouldn't want to be in the way. Especially if you're so occupied with this set-up after all. ❞ The yakuza patriarch flashed a sneer at them. He didn't feel like bothering himself with the extra work. There were better tasks possibly up ahead to put his actual effort into. Speaking of which...

❝ It's fairly simple. People were envious of my work, my achievements, my wealth. I chose my battles wisely. Yet someone wanted to snatch away what I had, so here I am. ❞ Nishiki made a blank response to Thaal. Simple as that. Without much else to say, he made his way towards the stairs, taking notice of the new individuals that weren't from their original group. Well, it looked like they would be gaining more info from them, if possible.

"Others, you said?" Akande noticed the boy who ran into Dhaos. "Are there any more, besides you two? This is a highly unusual way for us all to meet."

"I will entrust you with looking over Sera and Candi. If they are not in one piece each, make sure something is done till all are one." Megatron says to the group hanging around the now-destroyed ladder, holding up the tarps for the girls. Megatron looks at his Fusion Cannon and the retracted blade attached to it - still nonfunctional. He decided to take up an improvised weapon, using two pieces of broken ladder that were both three quarters of his height as improvised dual-wield tonfas.

Among this place of weapons adapted to human hands, these would do just fine.

And now to greet the new guy.​

"My powers were considerably weakened," the man said with a bit of a snarl toward Cinder. "This is nothing." He put out his flame and began to walk past those in front of him so he could get a look at the tall cylindrical room beyond. He took a look at the fallen ladder and the makeshift tarp set-up and laughed. "You guys have been busy, huh?"

He turned around to Will and shrugged. "Anyway, I just woke up here, man. Had to listen to someone called the Overseer. There were others..." he pointed down the staircase. "Back there. Had to solve some kind of puzzle to get up here. I think one of the guys is just lagging behind." He sighed dramatically. "Right, it's Mister McGrath. Cole McGrath, thank you."

"Your situation is no different from ours, based on what you say, Cole McGrath," Megatron says. "I am Megatron."

Noticing the boy who rammed into Dhaos, Megatron picked him up by the shirt with two fingers and gently placed him a couple more metres away from Dhaos.

He then looked down at the boy, speaking with a solemn face.

"They have asked who, and now I ask what - what were the fates of these others you speak of?"

Wesker in typical fashion had kept to himself for a long duration, observing the insignificant life-forms around him. He was amused by their reactions to the reeking corpse. The T-Virus created far more potent odors in it's victims, thus he wasn't really effected. The different containers offered little use to him at the moment. He simply waited around for the two girls to return so that everyone could get a move on. As he waited, he took notice of the individual who called himself Cole. He was scared and hardened with a strong look in his eye. Perhaps he could've been a good test subject, but that was the least of his concerns right now. The wristband continued to irritate Wesker. Were they just for communication, or did they serve a hidden purpose? Eventually Wesker overheard Hela and Ashe and their concern for the others being hurt. This could be a chance to make a decent impression, gain temporary allies. He approached them and finally spoke. "I happen to have some experience with medicine. I could potentially look over any wounds if they truly need it." The idea of tending to them disgusted Wesker, but he had to think about the long run.

Prologue:

Farewell Joyful Wellington Wells, Hello Sorrowful Tragedy.


Its been a long time coming, but Sally and her daughter Gwen were finally escaping the dystopian city known as Wellington Wells. Sally drove the boat with one hand as she lie her hand restfully on Gwen's tummy. The baby was cooing at first, but her voice raising as she began to cry.

"Shhhh Love, they'll hear you." spoke Sally, her voice soft but loud enough to overpower the sound of the small motor engine. Her thick english accent flavored most of her words, afterall she was from the dishonored country known as England. Sally stared at Gwen as she caressed her cheek, attempting to calm her. But within a instant her hand rose, her lips formed into a smile.

"Actually, they wont." Cheerfully spoke Sally, her eyes back towards the ocean in front of her.

"Cry all you want Gwen." stated Sally as she smiled, but within a second; her world was gone.


Sally was waking up. Her head hurt, and her body ached like she had been drugged. Sally's hand reached for her head, the white glove still white as it faintly tapped the cold white surface of her helmet.

"Uhh...where am I?" asked Sally as she stepped forward, tripping over her own feet and smashing her forehead into the mental cell bars. As she fell, her forehead scrapped against the mental; a gash forming from her split skin.

"Fucky fuck!" shouted Sally as pain shot across the wound, quickly she regained her balance and held onto a mental bar as she touched the cut, her white glove absorbing the blood like a white room with colour.

"Its not too deep," softly whispered Sally. As the pain throbbed in and around Sally wound, her eyes shot open. Her hands began to pound on the cell bars, her voice attempting to roar through the hallway.

"Where the fuck am I!" shouted Sally,

"Wheres my fucking baby!" continued Sally.

"Give me Gwen! Give me my fucking baby!!!" and as those words left her mouth, Sally began to cry. Tears, and a eventually blood dripping down her face.

She had no idea where she was, where Gwen was; but if she and Gwen were able to survive Wellington Wells then they can do anything. Slowly Sally stood up, her glance now on the floor in front of her cell.

"This place is rubbish; I'll find a way out." mumbled Sally, her glance on the floor as she turned away from the cell door, her face twisted as she fell into deep thought.

"Ah... Thank you for the offer, Mister Wesker..." Ashe spoke thanking Wesker for his offer. Ashe wasn't quite sure of what to make of Wesker at this point. He seemed civil enough but Ashe couldn't help but get this feeling that there's more to Wesker than he knows. There's more to a lot of these people than he knows and it honestly made him feel a bit uneasy. However he opted to remain positive for the time being given that it seemed they were all on the same page.

"I'm not hurt."
Lucy looked up at the ladder. She wasn't going up there any time soon, which was a waste. But still, now what they are 'in charge' of was now getting those humans down. Why was she doing this instead of going up those stairs, she didn't know. But now that that big robot who could probably kill a good amount of people in this room with no problem were now putting them in the role, she was even more reluctant to give up and go up with some others.

Lucy obviously ignored the Yakuza. He might be going for the 'too many cooks spoil the broth' mindset, but that was an excuse to hang back and let others do the dirty work. No matter how great he might be, Lucy hated people like him. He was like that...man. Shunning was her method for him for now.


Lucy looked over to Wesker, and gave him an intimidating look. If he was as nice as Ashe, then sure, he could help out, only less things to bother her. He better stick to his word though, because there was something that didn't quite click with Wesker for Lucy.

Lucy wasn't ready to go up the staircase with the others yet though. She wasn't good at getting infomation out of others, nor did she care much about what humans said. Well, most humans. So for now, she decided to stay with Hela, Ashe and the others.

There was evidently nothing to do beyond continue down the hall if the two girls so choose, regardless of what they did with the herbs. The hall outside the science room twisted around in a square, eventually coming to another unlocked door. Beyond this one was an infirmary, sporting hospital beds, privacy curtains, cabinets, desks, and various medical equipment. Another door was beyond even this room.

"Whatever you're thinking," Cole said to Will, "I'm way more powerful than that." He held up a hand. "Hold on, whatever you're thinking now? Even more powerful than that. Maybe even then you can't understand."

He then looked to Akande and Megatron. "Just us I guess," he said. "I think they died. Deathtrap or something." Cole almost sounded bored. "If you go down that staircase it will just lead to a dead end. The entire wall came down on those guys."

As for the other newcomer, the boy sniffled a few more times before lowering his arm. He didn't look like he'd been crying. His white clothes made him stand out in the darkness and it was evident he had a thick head of dark hair. "Huh? Who am I? Who are you?!" The boy shook his head. "No, wait, I want to go first!" The boy held out his arms as if he was presenting something of grand interest. Whether this was to comply with Dhaos' demands was not entirely clear, though it became evident that he too had a bracelet.

"I'm Kokichi Oma, the Ultimate Supreme Leader! I was just--" He stopped short when Megatron picked him up and moved him. "W-Woah!" Kokichi exclaimed. He then looked up at Megatron in awe. "Wow! A robot! A big one too!" He took a step toward the big guy. "We can be friends, right? I wanna touch you a little."

Suddenly, everyone's bracelets came to life as the Overseer began to speak. "So, you've found the others," she said, her cool voice echoing all around. "Did you think you were the only prisoners? For those who believed this to be a game, you were right. The goal is to win of course, but do not think you are competing against each other. No, all of you in this prison block are allies. Or at least, those who live are. Some of you must defy your instincts and place your trust in others. We are trying to make something out of you here."

With the Overseer done, Isa sighed. He walked over the others with the tarp and crossed his arms. "I think we should be thinking of using this as a makeshift rope ladder," he said. "We might all have to get to the top of this room."

Will Nines

Will who had no notion of how power levels worked simply shrugged when he mentioned he was very powerful. He listened to the Overseer and he took a pause, walking over to the broken ladder and saw if he could do something. Will would attempt to grab the two ends and see if the piece of rebar he took was too large or could fit where the steps had been on the broken ladder. " If this doesn't not work, I have a few other ideas," he said, not directing at Cole but the whole group.

"A death trap..." Akande frowned. "We had better get moving, then. Our room had some sort of...blob in it that I think killed some soldier we found. If we're not careful, that may do us in." So, this was a game, then? One that involved making allies for oneself...well, that wouldn't be hard for him, at least. Though others in this little group of theirs would have a far harder time.

As he returned to their own room, Akande joined Isa at the tarp. "We will need some tall people to get up there. I can get on Megatron's shoulders, and possibly get someone else up if we need a bit more height." He turned to said android. "If you don't mind, of course."

Will Nines

Will who looked over at him was thinking about that as the alternate option in the back of his mind. He was surprised that Akande had thought about it. " That may not be such a bad idea.... though it might be better if I climbed onto his shoulders as I am lightweight and might not bring the weak scaffolding down. If Megatron does not mind of course," he said.

"Ah!... That's a wonderful idea, sir. Good thinking there.." Ashe spoke to Isa praising him for the idea on making a makeshift rope ladder. He listened to Akande speak about possibly standing on shoulders of others. "I'm not sure if I will be of use but for reference i'm 5'8" " Ashe spoke giving his height in case they needed someone his height.

"What I was thinking by volunteering was the height," Akande replied, poitimg up to the scaffolding. "It's quite high up, and I myself am 7 feet tall. If I had the boost from Megatron, getting this tarp tied up would make our task easier.

"If it allyhood you seek, then allies we shall be," Megatron crosses his arms, not responding to whether Koichi could or could not touch him. A cold one, this bot was.

That, or he was getting very specific vibes from this human who deemed himself a Supreme Leader, the most high-levelled of them all to top it off! While appearances couldn't be judged, charisma doesn't lie.

And charisma did not lie at all.

"Kokichi Oma, I am Megatron."

Listening in on Akande's suggestion, Megatron knew what to do. He bent his knees and let a hand out.

"I will raise you and any others with my palm at its highest possible if need be," Megatron adds.

" Most of us are extremely tall, so I am not worried about height, but the scaffolding has a second problem that I noticed from the girls climbing up. It appears to be extremely fragile. I fear your extremely muscular form would cause it to collapse on impact. I think we need someone tall and light to tie it down." Will walked over to the other androids outstretched hand.

Wesker quickly caught the glare from Lucy and responded with his own, temporarily removing his glasses to reveal his beastly reddish-gold eyes. He approached her with a smirk on his face. "If you have an issue with me, I prefer you address it directly. Sound fair?" With that said, he put his glasses back on before approaching Megatron and Akande. "I will assist however I can. I am six feet and 3 inches tall, and I'm stronger than you might expect."

Dagran's brow furrowed, as he stared at Pyke, before glancing back down at the list briefly before it was crumpled. He didn't see any names he recognized, nd whatever illusion Pyke saw was one for concern, to a degree. Gaze returning to Pyke, free of judgement yet had veiled interest he gave a thoughtful nod after a moment.

"I believe I just might, Pyke." He answered. It didn't necessarily take a genius to understand that at least something about Pyke being so lustful for revenge had caused him to be a bit looney. Dagran would keep the list in mind and tread carefully in this alliance. Hopefully, he could use Pyke as an example so he wouldn't let revenge pull him towards the deep end. He could at least keep Pyke from attacking any of the others for now anyway.

@Ottonomous Ghost @Anyone

The Bloodharbor Ripper put the manifest back into one of his pockets, only slightly calmed by Dagran's remark of understanding. It was rare for someone to see where he was coming from; everyone he'd come across just thought he was crazy. Even the ones who were also wronged by the land-dwelling monsters. "Good," he responded, finding more respect for the mercenary.

When the door had opened and Cole made his presence known, Pyke decided to walk over and see the new arrivals for himself. As he moved, he gave Cole a short stare. Something wasn't quite right about him.
​

Pyke's eyes widened as he stared at Kokichi, the self-proclaimed Ultimate Supreme Leader. Time seemed to stop for a moment as hazy visions of Kokichi on the accursed ship that let him drown filled his brain. Meanwhile, the Overseer's nonsensical words echoed through his head. The harpooner's eyes drifted toward Kokichi's hands. Clean hands. The hands of a captain. He looked at the boy's eyes. They were the eyes of a liar. A lying captain.

Pyke suddenly found himself grabbing Kokichi's throat through no will of his own. The Deep wouldn't completely overtake his mind this time, though. Otherwise he'd be choking him to death. "Listen here, kid. You ain't anybody's captain. I don't care what the 'Overseer' says. I don't care what anybody says. We ain't allies if you a captain. Got it?" As Pyke stared into his eyes, a blurry image of Kokichi watching him drown began to focus. The young man would have to agree quickly before the sailor put lethal pressure into his grip. He would not let go until he agreed.

Cole grimaced at Dhaos and then shot Will a look of confusion. "Um, no...? And, uh, thanks I guess?" He then looked to Cinder, crossing his arms. "It's a few rooms back the way I came," he said.

As for Dhaos, a young boy ran up the stairs and practically slammed right into him. The boy hopped back a few steps and held an arm over his face. "Owie...!" It was hard to see him in the dim light, but Dhaos could hear a sniffle from the boy. "Sir, why don't you watch where you're going? That really hurt!"

Will analyzed the facial features of Cole and recognized it as confusion. " Hmm... that does shoot down my theory then. You are most welcome," he said, looking over at him and updating his objectives.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE- HELP OTHERS IN WHATEVER WAY THAT GETS YOU BACK HOME.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE- DEAL WITH ANY POSSIBLE DEVIANTS IN THE GROUP

TERIATARY OBJECTIVE- LEARN MORE ABOUT COLE MACGRATH

" You mentioned that the fire you can make is only a fraction of your power? How powerful are you?" Will asked.

Izuru gave the ghastly-looking man a once-over, rolling his eyes dismissively and deciding that he had no intention to interact with him. Spotting the staircase just behind him, he absconded from the discussion without a word to Akande, politely slipping past Cole and moving down towards the stairway in the same vein as Dhaos.

"... hm."

Izuru abruptly halted, sidestepping as if something was coming from the stairs.
​

Under any normal circumstances, Izuru would've swiftly ignored whatever came barreling through the stairs and continue onward. The Ultimate Hope shambled a few meters away from the "scene," seems as if he was going to continue down the stairs. However, the student abruptly halted at the head of the stairs, planting his sleek black shoes on the floor and turning around with a furrowed brow, his red-eyes gleaming through the dim light towards the downed young boy.

"...You," he spoke, his voice pointed with purpose instead of being flat and uninterested. "Who are you?"

@Atomic Knight @Yun Lee @Jeremi @whoever
​

"Great, no more ladder." Hela said. "Let's get this tarp ready guys." Hela said, not even acknowledging the new man in the room.

@Atomic Knight @Crimson Spartan @MelodyMeister

​

"No one was hurt correct...? I'd like to make sure that there were no injuries before hand..." Ashe states looking over at Hela, Lucy, and Thaal to make sure they weren't hurt when the ladder fell. He was very concerned for these three as he didn't want anyone getting hurt.

@Siege @MelodyMeister @ThoseAround​

❝ Oh, I wouldn't want to be in the way. Especially if you're so occupied with this set-up after all. ❞ The yakuza patriarch flashed a sneer at them. He didn't feel like bothering himself with the extra work. There were better tasks possibly up ahead to put his actual effort into. Speaking of which...

❝ It's fairly simple. People were envious of my work, my achievements, my wealth. I chose my battles wisely. Yet someone wanted to snatch away what I had, so here I am. ❞ Nishiki made a blank response to Thaal. Simple as that. Without much else to say, he made his way towards the stairs, taking notice of the new individuals that weren't from their original group. Well, it looked like they would be gaining more info from them, if possible.

@Atomic Knight @Yun Lee @CrunchyCHEEZIT @Jeremi @MelodyMeister @York @Sark @whoever​

"U-understood sir..." The last thing Ashe would ever want to do is anger Megatron...




​

"Ah... Thank you for the offer, Mister Wesker..." Ashe spoke thanking Wesker for his offer. Ashe wasn't quite sure of what to make of Wesker at this point. He seemed civil enough but Ashe couldn't help but get this feeling that there's more to Wesker than he knows. There's more to a lot of these people than he knows and it honestly made him feel a bit uneasy. However he opted to remain positive for the time being given that it seemed they were all on the same page.

@ShadowCoyote0 @Siege @MelodyMeister @Crow @Sark ​

"I'm not hurt."
Lucy looked up at the ladder. She wasn't going up there any time soon, which was a waste. But still, now what they are 'in charge' of was now getting those humans down. Why was she doing this instead of going up those stairs, she didn't know. But now that that big robot who could probably kill a good amount of people in this room with no problem were now putting them in the role, she was even more reluctant to give up and go up with some others.

Lucy obviously ignored the Yakuza. He might be going for the 'too many cooks spoil the broth' mindset, but that was an excuse to hang back and let others do the dirty work. No matter how great he might be, Lucy hated people like him. He was like that...man. Shunning was her method for him for now.


Lucy looked over to Wesker, and gave him an intimidating look. If he was as nice as Ashe, then sure, he could help out, only less things to bother her. He better stick to his word though, because there was something that didn't quite click with Wesker for Lucy.

Lucy wasn't ready to go up the staircase with the others yet though. She wasn't good at getting infomation out of others, nor did she care much about what humans said. Well, most humans. So for now, she decided to stay with Hela, Ashe and the others.

There was evidently nothing to do beyond continue down the hall if the two girls so choose, regardless of what they did with the herbs. The hall outside the science room twisted around in a square, eventually coming to another unlocked door. Beyond this one was an infirmary, sporting hospital beds, privacy curtains, cabinets, desks, and various medical equipment. Another door was beyond even this room.

"Whatever you're thinking," Cole said to Will, "I'm way more powerful than that." He held up a hand. "Hold on, whatever you're thinking now? Even more powerful than that. Maybe even then you can't understand."

He then looked to Akande and Megatron. "Just us I guess," he said. "I think they died. Deathtrap or something." Cole almost sounded bored. "If you go down that staircase it will just lead to a dead end. The entire wall came down on those guys."

As for the other newcomer, the boy sniffled a few more times before lowering his arm. He didn't look like he'd been crying. His white clothes made him stand out in the darkness and it was evident he had a thick head of dark hair. "Huh? Who am I? Who are you?!" The boy shook his head. "No, wait, I want to go first!" The boy held out his arms as if he was presenting something of grand interest. Whether this was to comply with Dhaos' demands was not entirely clear, though it became evident that he too had a bracelet.

"I'm Kokichi Oma, the Ultimate Supreme Leader! I was just--" He stopped short when Megatron picked him up and moved him. "W-Woah!" Kokichi exclaimed. He then looked up at Megatron in awe. "Wow! A robot! A big one too!" He took a step toward the big guy. "We can be friends, right? I wanna touch you a little."

Suddenly, everyone's bracelets came to life as the Overseer began to speak. "So, you've found the others," she said, her cool voice echoing all around. "Did you think you were the only prisoners? For those who believed this to be a game, you were right. The goal is to win of course, but do not think you are competing against each other. No, all of you in this prison block are allies. Or at least, those who live are. Some of you must defy your instincts and place your trust in others. We are trying to make something out of you here."

With the Overseer done, Isa sighed. He walked over the others with the tarp and crossed his arms. "I think we should be thinking of using this as a makeshift rope ladder," he said. "We might all have to get to the top of this room."

Will Nines

Will who had no notion of how power levels worked simply shrugged when he mentioned he was very powerful. He listened to the Overseer and he took a pause, walking over to the broken ladder and saw if he could do something. Will would attempt to grab the two ends and see if the piece of rebar he took was too large or could fit where the steps had been on the broken ladder. " If this doesn't not work, I have a few other ideas," he said, not directing at Cole but the whole group.

"A death trap..." Akande frowned. "We had better get moving, then. Our room had some sort of...blob in it that I think killed some soldier we found. If we're not careful, that may do us in." So, this was a game, then? One that involved making allies for oneself...well, that wouldn't be hard for him, at least. Though others in this little group of theirs would have a far harder time.

As he returned to their own room, Akande joined Isa at the tarp. "We will need some tall people to get up there. I can get on Megatron's shoulders, and possibly get someone else up if we need a bit more height." He turned to said android. "If you don't mind, of course."

@Atomic Knight @Crow @Lucky @CrunchyCHEEZIT @Jeremi @Gummi Bunnies @Ver @Ottonomous Ghost @Takumi @Crimson Spartan @RebornRainbow @Sark @Siege​

Will Nines

Will who looked over at him was thinking about that as the alternate option in the back of his mind. He was surprised that Akande had thought about it. " That may not be such a bad idea.... though it might be better if I climbed onto his shoulders as I am lightweight and might not bring the weak scaffolding down. If Megatron does not mind of course," he said.

@Atomic Knight @Yun Lee @Crow

"Ah I see... It's great that you are uninjured..." Ashe spoke seeming happy that Lucy was in fact not injured.

"Ah!... That's a wonderful idea, sir. Good thinking there.." Ashe spoke to Isa praising him for the idea on making a makeshift rope ladder. He listened to Akande speak about possibly standing on shoulders of others. "I'm not sure if I will be of use but for reference i'm 5'8" " Ashe spoke giving his height in case they needed someone his height.

"What I was thinking by volunteering was the height," Akande replied, poitimg up to the scaffolding. "It's quite high up, and I myself am 7 feet tall. If I had the boost from Megatron, getting this tarp tied up would make our task easier.

@Atomic Knight @Lucky @Crimson Spartan @Crow​

"If it allyhood you seek, then allies we shall be," Megatron crosses his arms, not responding to whether Koichi could or could not touch him. A cold one, this bot was.

That, or he was getting very specific vibes from this human who deemed himself a Supreme Leader, the most high-levelled of them all to top it off! While appearances couldn't be judged, charisma doesn't lie.

And charisma did not lie at all.

"Kokichi Oma, I am Megatron."

Listening in on Akande's suggestion, Megatron knew what to do. He bent his knees and let a hand out.

"I will raise you and any others with my palm at its highest possible if need be," Megatron adds.

@Atomic Knight @Lucky @Crimson Spartan @Crow @Yun Lee​

Will Nines

" Most of us are extremely tall, so I am not worried about height, but the scaffolding has a second problem that I noticed from the girls climbing up. It appears to be extremely fragile. I fear your extremely muscular form would cause it to collapse on impact. I think we need someone tall and light to tie it down." Will walked over to the other androids outstretched hand.

@Atomic Knight @Lucky @Crimson Spartan @Crow @Yun Lee

Wesker quickly caught the glare from Lucy and responded with his own, temporarily removing his glasses to reveal his beastly reddish-gold eyes. He approached her with a smirk on his face. "If you have an issue with me, I prefer you address it directly. Sound fair?" With that said, he put his glasses back on before approaching Megatron and Akande. "I will assist however I can. I am six feet and 3 inches tall, and I'm stronger than you might expect."

The Bloodharbor Ripper put the manifest back into one of his pockets, only slightly calmed by Dagran's remark of understanding. It was rare for someone to see where he was coming from; everyone he'd come across just thought he was crazy. Even the ones who were also wronged by the land-dwelling monsters. "Good," he responded.

Patience was important. If he made his intentions too obvious then he wouldn't be able to eventually get the drop on the people on his list.

When the door had opened and Cole made his presence known, Pyke decided to walk over and see the new arrivals for himself. As he moved, he gave Cole a short stare. Something wasn't quite right about him.
​

Pyke's eyes widened as he stared at Kokichi, the self-proclaimed Ultimate Supreme Leader. Time seemed to stop for a moment as hazy visions of Kokichi on the accursed ship that let him drown filled his brain. Meanwhile, the Overseer's nonsensical words echoed through his head. The harpooner's eyes drifted toward Kokichi's hands. Clean hands. The hands of a captain. He looked at the boy's eyes. They were the eyes of a liar. A lying captain.

Pyke suddenly found himself grabbing Kokichi's throat through no will of his own. The Deep wouldn't completely overtake his mind this time, though. Otherwise he'd be choking him to death. "Listen here, kid. You ain't anybody's captain. I don't care what the 'Overseer' says. I don't care what anybody says. We ain't allies if you a captain. Got it?" As Pyke stared into his eyes, a blurry image of Kokichi watching him drown began to focus. The young man would have to agree quickly before the sailor put lethal pressure into his grip. He would not let go until he agreed.

Cinder gave Cole a nod at his answer. This at least gave her some level of re-assurance that Cole was telling the truth, as further confirmed by the Overseer. However, it was when Isa mentioned using the tarp as a makeshift rope ladder... And everyone was considering stacking ontop of each other to tie the tarp to the top.

However, Cinder herself didn't seem particularly keen on joining that discussion. Instead, she looked at the piece of rebar in her hand, then the tarp, an idea coming to mind.

"Cole. Is your fire hot enough to make this metal more... Workable?" She asked.

Naturally, because her powers weren't really there... It was unlikely that she would be able to bend the rebar by hand, but, with some heat it could be manageable.

Thinking about it, the seemingly useless pieces of rebar from that uncontaminated container could be fashioned into some crude hooks, so they could anchor the tarp somewhere ontop of the scaffolding.

As bugrudging as it was to admit, right now... She would need as much help as she could get if she were to get up ontop of that scaffolding, where they probably needed to be. As she got the feeling that Cole's group had little to no luck finding an exit where he came from either, and she wasn't ina hurry to visit another cell block if she could help it.​

"Tch..." Dhaos wasn't impressed with the new arrival and let him be as Kokichi's attention fell on Megatron. As the Overseer spoke Dhaos listened intently to what she had to say. Allies? He wasn't too sure about that.

"If it allyhood you seek, then allies we shall be," Megatron crosses his arms, not responding to whether Koichi could or could not touch him. A cold one, this bot was.

"Then get to it," Dhaos replied annoyed. "If you need someone else with height then...I can be of assistance." The 6'7 tall Dhaos said. "Standing around in the same place will drastically lower our mortality rate the longer we stay."
