Jeong held onto Harley's hand, dragging her through the fields of blue and red. A black figure forming above their heads as worried filled their hearts. Would they even make it out alive at this point.

Jeong took Harley into his arms before throwing her across the river. He'd then dove straight into the black, his mermaid tail reappearing. Harley landed with a tough thud, the newest bruise appearing onto her side.

She'd balled herself up to hold onto the new stinging pain, her white hoodie slowly turning into a dark crimson and she'd shook a bit. Looking at her red hand, she'd stood up and started to use the trees to get herself somewhere at least. Whilst she'd walked thoughts cursed her head, "Why didn't Jeong jump with me? That way we wouldn't even have been running from whatever that is," she'd said moving her hair off to the side.

She'd looked in her pocket and smiled, "We got the second token though," she'd painfully proclaimed. Soon, a familiar sight appeared, Aratani ran over to help the female.

"What the actual hell! This is the third bruise this week. C'mere we're opting you back to sleep for a few weeks. You'll be fine okay!" She'd said, holding Harley on her chest as if she was her child. Harley nodded against the females soft wool shirt. Soon falling asleep.

Jeong was on a race against time. He had no sense of direction just knowing he had to find someone soon. He'd swam until he couldn't even breathe. Finally, word. He heard the familiar murmurs.

The brown haired male, fiddling with his power and touching the walls. They'd go from stone to gold fast. Jeong held out his hand for the male, who'd put his hoodie sleeves back down and put his arm on Jeong's hand.

Jeong firmly grasped onto the male, dragging him through the black abyss after taking a few breaths of air, taking him the same way he'd took Harley.

Finally both males made it, throwing themselves onto the ground and rolling around a bit. Jeong stood up first, taking his weaken legs to stumble his way back to the site. Moose slowly following behind. His mask shattered into pieces clearly in need of repair.

They'd both made it back to the resting quarters, Aratani and Merera taking them into their arms. They'd laid them down on mat, giving them buckets and some fresh water.

"Where's the other three?"

"Well, Harley is recovering for her injury and Usagi is struggling to lift Xeryo. No one is in a stable state. The other site has been found so they'll be moving over here. We're going to go get them when time hits dawn. There'll be high security but they don't think anyone's all too dumb to go in that time. It's risky on levels you can't imagine but it's good enough," Aratani explained to Jeong whilst he'd spat out black muck into his bucket.

Aratani lifted a brow at the material the male spat out, "And the hell is that"

"Whatever the hell you get when you mix fire with the 'smog'. It instantly solidified but was still liquidity. Almost like a snake but more watery. I could swim through the compound but I have genuinely no clue why the smog out of all things would cause that kind of reaction,".

Theory got next to the two taking the object and bubbling it, sending it off to the laboratory, "I'll have Xeryo take a closer look at this when she heals. For now, they need help. Where in the world is Sydney and Bunni? I sent them to watch. They should be back by now,"

"WORD! Bunni and Sydney took out two guards and are in the building. They'll be changing the charting course for search away from where we are. Sydney should know how to do it and Bunni knows the layout of the ship. They won't be back until at least midnight. We can only wish them luck and regards from here," Lenes would explain, moving his short pink hair out of his face and holding his tracking device, "Also whatever that muck did, it knocked out Jeong's chip. Jeong you need to get a new one. Yours has been going out like crazy,"  Lenes would tell him, their black eyes meeting Jeong's pink ones.

"As long as we can get to a safe point we'll be fine. Also," Aratani started before moving a Crystal from the ground into the bucket of muck, "Jeong, you'll be in the contamination room again. We can't risk anything," She'd walked off opening the hatch on the ground.

Lenes would throw Harley around his shoulder. Merera took Moose and Aratani helped Jeong down the steps. They'd all would be placed in respective lands before Aratani went back up. She'd grabbed the bucket and would trash the site to make it look abandoned, "Take that you fucking retards of a system," she'd said before walking back down.

She'd closed the latch and Harley would be prying on the token, scratching the bug off of it now. Her eyes focused on the digit and Lenes taking it out of her hands.

"This means a lot that you would do this. Even as useless as you call yourself, you have great worth to our missions, thanks Harley," Lenes smiled. Harley said nothing just hugging Lenes.

Lenes chuckled and would climb onto the bed, placing their two hands on each with Harley's hands wrapping around his neck. He'd licked his lips looking down on the female underneath him, "You look oh-so pretty today. We'll get out of this and will finally be able to have a place to call home. Love, you're amazing for this and I'll let you have my hoodie tonight. Now I know you want your hugs," he'd said before crashing down and letting Harley hold onto him.

"Thanks"

"It's nothing love"
