Kane did not break stride as he neared his rented building while he listened in on the conversation, the white den den in his communication suite worked perfectly with the black one to disguise the fact that the conversation was relayed through Kane rather than being a completely secure point to point transmission. The young marine's paranoia was very understandable, but in this case was misplaced although Kane could never explain outright why that was. In his programming he was set to mistrust the marines but not needlessly antagonize them and he had neither the need nor the ability to alter that. When Seb announced he would be waiting, after Kane had already entered his lab and began work he called out through the headset. "Negative, more important to secure the vessel if possible, or observe if there is suspicious activity onboard. I will let you know when I am nearby." Even as he was speaking Kane was brushing off the final remains of his burned out suit and opening his torso like an armored gateway. The expended carbon rods, still smoking even after all this time, were ejected directly onto the floor and Kane had already selected their replacements which were slid into the rotary chamber which had been designed similar to a revolver pistol. In a more ideal situation Kane would have completely swapped bodies but that was not an option. Instead Kane determined which of his limbs were the most damaged with the inconclusive fight with Duke. The joints released and Kane was able to easily pull them off and slot in the spares he had. There was no time to clean up so after refueling and limb replacement Kane put on a new suit and quickly stuffed a satchel of his explosives, briefly pondering whether or not to take along some of his prototypes but they were mostly unstable and likely to be more of a hinderance than a help. He stepped back into the streets and made ready to head to the harbor. |

"What...Okay." Seb merely looked at the darkness when Kane had relayed the command to him. Complacently, he decided to follow the orders. It made him feel a little restless, but the more he was away from the centaur, the more slightly secured he could feel. Albeit, only slightly. Yes...just slightly. Ah fuck it. Seb threw out his arms and cursed to himself. You know why I'm so paranoid like an 8 year old seeing Freddy Krueger the first time? Yes, exactly that! Jesus, if you were just a normal fucking human being, I wouldn't be so concerned of my life! C'mon, what made you so screwed up? ...Drinking problem? I've heard multiple instances that after graduating from academy, 30% of people have substance abuse. Uhh...traumatized breakup from girlfriend? Seb shook his head of the insecure thoughts and simply trudged on. Though, there was something he could do while he was passing the time. He grabbed out the blueprints and covertly read them, this time being more scrutinized. He marveled over the equations and tools designed to make this laser technology. The ripped half he was holding onto seemed to focus on the base of the laser. So in this case, he held information on how it's formed. Though, he had to question himself: If Mr. Welsh was knowledgeable on how to make this sort of laser...why did he need an additional engineer? Seb could only come up with a few conclusions. Did he want this to be a larger scale? Were there certain installations that required two people? Whatever was the case, Seb could simply find out later. After about a few minutes of travel away from Turpintown (Thank the fucking lawdy I'm out of that shit town.) and back to the docking area, Seb could suddenly feel the warmth of more colors. He made his way towards the dock, waving to the clerks at the information desk. "I'm here under the authorization of Mr. Welsh." Hopefully, they didn't get the memo that he was kidnapped. "Also, some uhh..." How exactly did he want to phrase this? "...weird looking centaur is going to come through this way. Most likely. But, he's with me. And yes, he's alive." The clerk gave him a very judgemental expression. But she slowly nodded. "Okay..." Why me. His feet paced through the wooden steps of the dock. He was focused on counting the dock numbers, adhering to the Grand Line ship codes. At a rather specially secluded location from other boats, Seb was able to locate Welsh's ship. And by golly, it was a beautiful ship. Seb could tell it used to be some sort of Marine vessel, but it was heavily modified for what seemed to be other purposes. Still, Welsh seems to have a great taste on how to give vessels an overhaul. And the first thing he noticed about the ship was the open door. Seb narrowed his eyebrows. Mr. Welsh wouldn't do something this stupid, right? That could only mean one thing. "Pretty sure there are people in Welsh's ship, now." Seb spoke calmly into the headset, priming his body for what seemed to be inevitable combat. It had to be the ninjas. "Standby." Time to kick more ninja-ass. |

Having finished his quick repair and rearmament task Kane was already on his way to the harbor when the alert came through. It was not entirely unexpected, after all these people seemed to have a rather extensive resource base established. Even if they were rushed because of the marine being assigned to Mr. Welsh there was no reason they hadn't simultaneously hit every one of the man's labs, residences and even those of close acquaintances. "Hold on reporting to your superiors until the enemy is alerted, my communications are secure from being tapped by third parties but the marines do not have a similar setup here." Again Kane had given away a crucial bit of information about himself but he felt it was warranted to prevent the enemy from learning that they were noticed and preparing for the attack. Duke had been a tough enough fight on his own and Kane was not wanting to turn this into some battle between equal combatants. It was for this final reason also that Kane chose an...alternate route to the ship. Instead of moving directly to the port he entered the water at the nearest point and moved beneath it after stashing his mask safely away again, his unusual non-humanoid body design was perfectly suited to working beneath the surface with the multiple legs and tail propelled him at nearly the same speeds he could get on land. Ripping through the water he left even fairly fast fish tumbling in his wake "Have you yet decided whether to trust me or not? If so, I will need the exact berth for the vessel now." Kane spoke over the headset to the marine even as he zeroed in on the location. If he did not get it in time he would have to go with his guesses which would be fairly ruinous if he was proven wrong. |

Hmm... Now that Kane had mentioned it, Seb realized that he hadn't relayed the exact codes to the centaur freak. He clenched his teeth, intense in thought. An impulsive thought of going into the ship without Kane's complete assistance had crossed his mind. However, Seb knew he wasn't strong enough to fight all the ninjas by himself. He needed someone powerful, and unfortunately for Seb, the centaur freak fits the bill for such a term. Tightening his fists, Seb relays the codes to Kane, revealing his current location. Needless to say, this didn't mean he had to stop around and merely watch. He had to do something. There was some expensive material that was in jeopardy. He could scout or delay while Kane was arriving. Ignoring whatever Kane was going to say next, Seb walked in impulsively. As soon as he walked into the ship, he had immediately regret his decision. While everything was quiet so far, he began to feel slightly fearful as he could tell the place was sabotaged, albeit only moderately. Regardless, Mr. Welsh wouldn't do this to his own quarters. This had to be the job of someone else. Speaking of which, Seb just remembered the epic opponent whom Kane had to face against. The fact that Kane emerged battle worn from the fight must have meant that he was either victorious or stalemate. Either way, he hadn't confirmed yet of what had happened. "You never filled me in about that tall dude you faced against. What happe-" And it happened almost so quickly. A ninja slowly descended from the ceilings, using a rope to keep him above the floor. Seb only noticed due to the eerie sound of a string and he swiftly turned around to react. Unfortunately, he was too slow to react as the ninja launched a lunge at his face. Shit! Seb skidded back from the attack as he had braced for impact. His head throbbed as he reeled back from the attack. The rainbow-colored ninja, even more extravagant in color, landed with his leg in and his other leg out. He held out shurikens and slowly lifted his head to face his opponent. He was wearing a mask of some sort, with his straight lined eyes illuminated by green light. Seb took out both of his wind shurikens and let one rope dangle while he firmly held the other by its base. And then, he widened his eyes. He could hear movement behind him. The movement of 3 ninjas, wearing similar fashion to the ninja in front of him also with green-eyed masks. Seb sighed and narrowed his eyes as he could feel a TIFU feeling. "Well, then. Terrific idea, Seb. Absolutely terrific." |

Kane's patience with the indecisive marine was just about to end as he arrived beneath the docked boats in the harbor. He had been unable to winnow any further clues about the situation and the risks were far too high that something valuable could be lost, stolen or destroyed every minute that he was held up for. Even with the man carrying what was essentially a tracking device it was not an exact thing to pinpoint him since Kane only had a single direction, and had not set things up on his ship where he could arrange for the signal to be triangulated from a second location. Suddenly it came through finally, and Kane's waiting had paid off. The ship berth turned out to be his second most likely guess and he pushed himself to the rocky bottom of the harbor before overcharging his power system and springing himself through and out of the water, landing on the deck of the ship just in time to hear Seb's question through the communication system. He was on the other side of the ship from where Seb was entering and so did not see, but was just starting to answer that the man had fallen beneath the burning building and was presumed to be injured but active when the ambush happened. There were no windows on this part of the ship so Kane could not look inside so the best he could do was aim himself directly towards the marine and act. Hearing it well through his headset Kane was able to quickly react. Lining himself up he attempted to stab two of his legs into the wooden wall of the vessel's superstructure to counter ambush the attackers by breaking through the walls. The wood was as soft as expected and gave way easily, ripping to splinters with little effort. Behind the wood though was what appeared to be metal armor, a sheet of plating only covered by the wood to disguise it. The plating looked like something from a battleship's armor belt, but he was able to tell that the hardened face of the armor was pointed inward, some sort of blast protection against internal explosions rather than external attack. Not that it mattered, even if it was only a half dozen centimeters thick the armor would completely prevent him from getting through even if he could damage it. Face hardened steel might only be as strong as iron on the soft side to prevent spalling fragments from becoming lethal shrapnel but digging in would still take hours without naval artillery level firepower. And if this was a properly built armored box even the roof would be solid except for possibly a hatch which would be just as trapped as the front door. Climbing over the top was kane's only option.

*THUD* The group within the ship suddenly looked up in reaction to Kane's attempted entrance. Judging from Kane's static silence ever since Seb's entrance into the ship, he could only surmise it was Kane. A wave of relief overcame him as help had arrived. That said, the ninjas weren't a bunch of klutzes. They were aware that the sound wasn't good news. The three ninjas from behind quickly executed and brought out their hands. Seb's eyes flashed as he heard their movements. He quickly launched himself forward and attacked the ninja in front of him, attempting to drive his windmill shuriken at the ninja so he could blow past him and begin running.
However, the ninja read his movements and guarded himself adequately. He crossed both of his armor guarded arms and braced the attack, stopping Seb from adding onto anymore force. Before Seb could retaliate with another move, the ninja pushed him back to his original spot, and into the hands of the three ninjas behind him. Instead of brutally attacking him, the three ninjas behind him took hold of Seb and slammed him down to the floor. With their combined force, Seb was restrained to the floor, dropping his shurikens at the same time. He struggled and attempted to escape, but to no avail. The lead ninja slowly walked up to the restrained Seb and held out some sort of canister. He was shaking it wildly as his glowing mask looked down at Seb. He then pressed the top of his canister and a spray of bright colors emerged. "We must now...execute the ritual!" His glowing eyes comically turned into a menacing red color. His face gradually approached Seb's head, who intensified his efforts to escape the clutches. "Marking our opponent before death! Nothing feels better than that..." "AW HELL NAW! I'm going to become a victim of some punk ass cult!" |

There were not many strategies Kane could have chosen from that would have been effective given the situation but there was one option he had open that most would not. Priming a couple of his grenades Kane burst into the structure on top of the armored vault and as he had expected there was another doorway from here which happened to be the wheelhouse and bridge. This really just confirmed Kane's quick supposition that the vault had been added after the ship was built, a bit of information that could be useful later. The hatch was open, propped with a metal rod that was likely meant to be pulled out so any attackers would come down and be trapped unable to escape any ambush. The noise from Seb's fight confirmed that it was the other entrance where that battle was taking place so Kane did not feel bad when he set the timers on a pair of his grenades and rolled them down the stairs. The first one detonated after a few seconds but the second seemed like a dud. Smoke poured up through the hatch and as expected the propping rod was suddenly pulled, the super heavy hatch began to slam shut. Kane was ready though and before it could gain much momentum he had placed his own body in the way, using his legs to hold it open while his tail struck down through and grabbed at the waiting rainbow ninja who had maintained his nerve through the first bomb and had been still there for the ambush. The man avoided the clumsy grab but was bowled over as Kane threw his entire body through the hatch and let it slam shut behind him. Two more ninjas began moving as the new battlezone was plunged into darkness when there was another loud explosion and a flash of light. The second bomb had a much longer timer, set to seem like a dud. The explosive was danger close to Kane but the full bodied cyborg knew he would have no issues making it through the blast at this range unscathed, the flesh bodies of the ninjas did not fare quite as well. Still it was only a momentary advantage and Kane knew he had quite a fight ahead. Tech x2

Right before the ninja could begin his "cultivating" ritual, the ninjas became quickly distracted by a loud THUD, which indicated some sort of new entrance not expected by them. Seb also looked in the same direction and could make out subdued blasts and duds. Screams of agony followed soon after. He could tell Kane had arrived (finally). It'd be great if he could make his way here, right? However, it seemed that Kane was still quite a distance away to where Seb was currently situated. He had to stall them while his ninjas were occupied. At the very least, he could delay his "ritual" process. As the ninja continued to be distracted, Seb's eyes trailed from his enemy's mask and to his legs. And then an idea popped. Take this, bitch! With his unrestrained right leg that was situated between the ninja's two feet, Seb could only do one option in which he deemed fit. He moved his leg upward as fast as possible. The center of his knee squarely hit the ninja's surprisingly soft cajones. To his surprise, the reaction was instantaneous. The ninja jumped in surprise and let out a high pitched scream. His head turned forward and the colors of his mask turned light blue instead of the normal green and red. He comically collapsed onto the floor and groveled his schlong while kicking around like a baby. Seb smirked at his work, but the ninjas restraining him quickly adjusted to keep both of his knees in place. Now he was completely suppressed and could no longer freely move. Unfortunately, the ninja stood back up. It was almost as if he had bypassed the nutcracker pain. The eyes of his mask returned to the red color, but even more crimson in intensity. He looked down at Seb and angrily screamed. "You think you can do this to me and die peacefully!? I'll show you!!!" This time, he immediately unsheathed his sword. ...Fuck, did I speed up my execution? |

While they had been stunned by the force of the explosion in such an enclosed space the Ninjas were not about to give up quite this easily and Kane knew he could not spend much time messing around with them because the marine was obviously in trouble. Kane realized now that he should have known about the armor, the thickness of metal had interfered with the signal to the headset and he had wasted precious seconds trying to go through the wall. Now though he had an exact direction to the other man and it was time to stop bothering with the small fry and get to work. Raising his hands to the roof Kane pressed his hands until the wood panel began to crack. But while above him just through the wood was thick metal plating below him was a simple wooden floor which was rather quite a bit weaker. To increase the pressure Kane even brought his feet together to one single point, and suddenly as his attackers lunged at him Kane broke through the floor into the room below, landing right next to one of Seb's attackers. There was no time to waste coming up with something quippy to say so Kane simply pulled back both of his hands and stabbed them forward with the finger knives pointed to stab into the ninja's flesh. The man had enough presence of mind to not be taken completely off guard and was able to dodge enough that the finger knives went through cloth rather than piercing deeply into flesh and bone. Another of the enemies was even better prepared, Kane heard more than felt some sort of device being attached to his body and his tail snapped around to smash at the man who had stuck it to him before Kane tried to pull it off, but some sort of glue held the device stuck until there was a sudden bleep sound and it detonated a shaped charge that pierced into Kane's body, flooding it with heat. |

Just as the executioner had unsheathed his sword, Kane's entrance from the roof was rather golden. He landed on the ninja squarely, immediately knocking him out from Kane's substantially heavy weight. God damn, finally. In addition, Kane's entrance had temporarily fazed one of the ninjas that held Seb on his left arm while the other two ninjas had immediately let go of Seb. They attacked Kane with elaborate movements, dodging whatever Kane had in mind for them. He was still on lying down on the floor, but now with much more freedom in movement. Seb's left arm was still somewhat restrained, but now his right arm had complete freedom to move. Taking whatever movement he could, Seb curled his left hand into a fist and let out an upward punch at the fazed ninja. It wasn't as effective as it only shifted the displacement of his head upward, but it was enough. Taking his previously dropped shuriken by the rope with his right hand, Seb swung it over his body and it landed cleanly right at the ninja, further incapacitating him. He was now completely free. Seb then stood up and grabbed his other large shuriken with his freed left arm, ready to defeat the last remaining ninja to which Kane had just recently dispatched. He stood right behind Kane, who had just reacted to the loud beeping device stuck to his body. Seb meekly looked at the situation as he could feel the inevitable coming towards him. Oh shit! C'mon dude, don't explode right in front of me you fu-" The small radius blast detonated as it directly hit Kane. The cyborg absorbed the blast with his mechanical parts, but was regardless launched a few meters back. The Marine took careful steps and promptly dodged out of the way. Growling, Seb held his shurikens by the ropes and made a weave with the two shurikens. The ninja took out his sword and the two engaged at each other.
The ninja used his sword to deflect a forward motion attack by Seb's right shuriken, throwing off the motion of his weave. However, he used the momentum of his left shuriken to let out a downward swing from above. The ninja's eyes flashed as he moved in avoidance of the attack, slamming the left shuriken to hit the wooden floor. Deflected earlier, Sebastian then tugged at the rope with a backhand motion and let out a horizontal swing with his right shuriken. The ninja then invested the rest of his defense in blocking the surprise motion. Seb's eyes gleamed as this allowed him to raise his right foot and kick the ninja squarely at the chest. A loud grunt from the ninja forced him to fall to the ground from Seb's kick. Without any hesitation, Seb then took a step forward towards the ninja, forced the left shuriken out of the wooden floor, swung both of his shurikens backward and over his head, and cleanly landed his large shurikens right at the ninja. The shurikens penetrated through the already broken cloth from Kane's effort, and went deeply into his flesh, finishing what Kane had begun initially. The ninja remained still. He closed his eyes as he forced the shurikens out of the ninja's body. Now with no more ninjas in sight, Seb let out a sigh of relief that they had survived the ambush. He then just remembered that a bomb had just damaged onto Kane. Looking around, he saw Kane a few feet away and quickly ran up to him. "Are you OK?" |

As someone who stored explosives inside his body Kane was not unprepared for a massive internal detonation, as the explosion inside him happened several panels in Kane's sides burst outward even as he triggered the air containing dial to further push the explosion outward. As the device had been designed to cook people alive inside armor this was a lot more effective than it had any right to be. Internal temperature was still redlining and there was a huge risk that all of Kane's fuel cells would have a flash detonation of their own so before that could happen he had to shut it down. Kane's emergency power came on automatically, allowing him to keep moving and somewhat fight but he felt sluggish and weak. Checking his systems he was surprised and dismayed that he had lost a few seconds of consciousness while everything else was going on around him. It was fortunate that the enemies must have taken his immobility for incapacity or death because one of the ninjas was attempting to use him as cover to get at Seb unnoticed. Not visibly moving in the slightest Kane continued the charade until the ninja tensed up to strike when Kane moved first, one of his legs lifting up and stabbing at the man. Too slowly it turned out, the limb was nowhere close to hitting and outnumbered at that moment the rainbow clad ninja decided that discretion was the better part of valor and threw a smoke bomb between Kane and himself before going into a roll towards the hatch that led from this upper lab into the bowels of the ship. Damage reports kept flooding in, Kane's only real equivalent of feeling pain screamed in his mind and he had to willfully shut down non essential alarms for later. Even talking normally would be difficult for him so when he heard Seb's question he was not able to vocalize the response and instead spoke through the headset. "I am functional, barely. On reserve energy supplies until my main power system cools enough to safely be reactivated." |

Seb looked at Kane's overall status, seeing seething steam leaking out of his cybernetic parts and his limbs collapsing as if they no longer had any life. He could tell the cyborg was barely functional as the vocalization through his headset was barely audible. From the sounds of it, Kane wasn't functional until he had some R&R. Regardless, Seb could only marvel at this unique entity. How could such a creation still be human and machine? At this point, was this guy even human? He was more machine than man. Next thing I'll know, he's gonna wear some kind of respirator. Maybe a black mask too just to look terrifying. Seb joked to himself. He looked around, absolutely making sure no more ninjas were in the area. Even if there were any remaining, they had most likely escaped (just like the one who smoked his way out of the hatch) and retreated. Turns out Kane and Seb were too much for the ninjas, but they needed to leave as soon as possible. Based on his surroundings and the sabotage the ninjas were attempting on the ship, it appeared they were searching for something of Mr. Welsh. If Seb had to guess, it was the remaining half of the blueprints that Seb still contained within his pockets. Speaking of Mr. Welsh and their dastardly ninja opponents...Kane never filled him in on one factor. "You never told me what happened to the tall dude with the strange motorcycle. Did you kill him? If not, we need to get the hell out of here." He began to examine some of the creations and inventions Mr. Welsh had within the ship. While most of it was either sabotaged or damaged by the ambush, the ones intact were rather marvelous and outstanding. So were these the creations that Welsh was famously known for by the Marines? So...what exactly did Seb have to help engineer with Mr. Welsh then? The laser. Some part of it had to be around here. And the ninjas must have been trying their dandiest to look for it. "The laser...a part of it might be here. I'm going to try and look for it. We probably only have about 10 minutes before they come back with reinforcements. Can you recover by then?" |

Kane felt sluggish as his power plant was shut down because of the heat risk and he knew that backup power would not sustain him for long but he was able to estimate that at the rate of cooling his internals should be safe enough to reactivate before there was much danger. At least not much danger of running out of power before it could be reactivated provided Kane was able to keep out of combat. The enemies had only temporarily retreated though and could return at any moment and the marine brought up another issue. "The man, Duke, fell through the floor of the building as it burned. Since it would be foolish to assume him to be dead I have been expecting him to make an appearance at any moment and in fact I am surprised he has not yet shown up knowing the conventions of how things seem to operate." A high priority right now though was recording as much as he could, finding a better light source nearby Kane was able to get a good view of several of the inventions and other projects on display, all in various states of completion. Mr. Welsh had obviously been a very busy man and not just with his own creations because some of the disassembled works bore unmistakable signs to Kane's trained eye that they were someone else's work that Welsh had been copying. This did not shock Kane much, the cyborg himself was more of a gleaner of other people's works than a creator, but it was a very interesting bit of information. Unfortunately the pieces that Kane was most interested in were already missing, specifically any prototypes or test models for the lasers. "If they take ten minutes to return I will easily be back to nearly one hundred percent condition. My internal damage response systems performed worse than expected but they did prevent nearly all non field repairable issues." Kane reassured Seb when suddenly the entire ship started to shake as though someone had begun to flood it. |

"Okay. I gotcha." The fact that the monster was still alive after fighting Kane terrified Seb at a relative level. The fact that he could come back and bring terror upon them was also frightening. They needed to leave and recuperate ASAP. After all, their main objective was to bring back Mr. Welsh safely. And "safely" was something he was currently jeopardizing. Once again, reservations about Kane popped up again as he felt he could get into major trouble for executing such a high risk mission with a non-Marine. He shook them off his head as for now, it appeared Kane was on his side. Seb felt like he had to find some sort of evidence for what Mr. Welsh had wanted to build. He was travelling around the ship in a quick manner, running across numerous projects that varied in size and complexity, either complete or incomplete. He felt the familiarity of the ship to be of a Marine vessel, as he had noted previously. He ran across the bridge of the ship and immediately noticed the vault that was built into the ship. Seb precariously fixed his eye on it, also realizing that the vault was designed and integrated into the ship after creation of the vessel. The engineer eyed the lock of the vault and gave out a soft sigh. It appeared to be a 3 turn knob combination, but out of a 100 numbers. There was no way he could guess the 3 numbers correctly as he only had a 1 in 1000000 chance to do so. He stared at it for a few seconds before his subconscious brought an instance of a memory. A memory not long after Mr. Welsh was kidnapped. He pulled out the ripped blueprint, the other half that the ninjas had most likely been searching for. At the very corner were 3 numbers, designating some sort of combination. He rolled through the knob, entering the 3 numbers. After placing the 3rd number at its place, he pressed a button. A loud click followed, ensuring Seb's success of unlocking the vault. As the large door slowly swung open, Seb gaped at the creation that unfolded before him. "Magnificent..." Lights shone brightly at the center of the vault, revealing a massively heavy prototype of what appeared to be a laser. It was brightly colored in red, orange, and yellow colors, a combination that Seb noticed Mr. Welsh seemed to have liked a lot. He entered the vault and slowly walked around it, carefully observing the parts. The laser itself seemed like it wasn't designed for use by man as it was massively heavy. It had to be mounted. Seb then noticed parts that were incomplete to which incomplete wires dangled out of the laser. He saw a datasheet on top of a table that detailed the gory schematic out. He looked over the sheet and then nodded. Unfortunately, he didn't know exactly how the laser functioned and if it was just any normal laser. Those were all in the blueprints, to which Seb unfortunately did not have the other half. Though, upon further analyzing the sheet, he realized why Mr. Welsh needed an Engineer like him. "He doesn't know how to integrate this into the ship. He needed someone like me with vast knowledge of vessels." And then he felt the trembling within the ship. Ten minutes must have passed by now. The Marine paused in his feet. Seb surmised that Kane had to have recovered by now. "...What was that?" |

It turned out that "That" which Seb asked about was some sort of scuttling charges that had blown holes in the hull and now the ship was obviously sinking, the tilt to one side as it flooded was small but obvious and growing faster. Kane was finally able to switch back on his primary power system and was glad that in the time he was nearly shut down they had not been attacked. In the meantime he was keeping watch for more of the ninjas, if they were going to attack they were likely to do so while Seb was working in the vault. In order to preserve as much information as possible Kane was recording the contents of the vault from the outside with his tail camera, there was a lot there even with Seb seemingly deliberately positioning to block Kane's view of the papers. Nevertheless Kane was able to get enough of a view of the rest of the setup that he was sure he would be able to duplicate it later once he has acquired several certain materials which he could now see the lack of which was what was holding him back from expected breakthroughs. "We should move the prototypes from here quickly or destroy them. If these people had brought Mr. Welsh with them they would have been able to open the vault themselves. It really is starting to feel to me that we may have been allowed to reach this far on purpose." Just as Kane finished this sentence there was another round of muffled explosions, but these were nearly directly below him. The ninjas had indeed just been waiting for the vault to be opened if the pair of them were able to do so, and now charges had blasted the supports in the floor beneath the safe causing it to start falling through the floor! About to jump through the door to try to rescue Seb, Kane was halted in his movement as a pair of hands came up through the floor at his feet and grabbed onto two of his legs. "Got you you bug freak!" Kane heard Duke's familiar voice speak, though the sound was somewhat muffled by the thickness of the floor between the two people. |
