"This is getting a little out of hand..." Ace tightened the grip on his blade as he scanned the storehouse for possible escapes. The front entrance was blocked by one of the giant metal wolves, he figured he and Shizuka could deal with it, however, they had already wasted enough time. The original plan the Unbound Hearts had devised was useless now, it was time they tried plan B. Ace turned to Shizuka, who was fanning in front of her face, he was trying not to think of the stench produced by the wolves himself. "We're switching to the other plan, try to hold those things off while I get it ready." Shizuka nodded, and he sprinted towards the large metal shelves containing the things they had come for. 

"Alright!" Shizuka yelled, slapping her cheeks to psyche herself up. She really did hate fighting, so she wanted to get this over with as quickly as possible. The metal wolf was busy dealing with other members of the UH, she tried not to think about how many of her comrades had died, she needed to focus. A pile of steel beams was sitting nearby, she decided to them. "Let's see if these dogs..." She said, easily picking up a beam after hardening her arms. "Like to play fetch!" She launched the slab of metal right at the wolf guarding the entrance, then she picked up another and threw it as well, repeating this until she had thrown all five of them. 

Running up to a panel on the warehouse wall, Ace flipped a switch, this caused the crates on the metal shelves to be unhinged from their resting places. He then ran in between the two large shelves. He reached into his pockets and took out a spherical silver device. With a twist, the device opened up into what looked like a dumbbell. Ace quickly sat the device on the ground, and ran over to Shizuka. "It's ready, let's get out of here." He said. 

"What about the others? I can't see Trisean anywhere." Shizuka stated with worry. 

"He'll be fine, once it opens he should know what to do anyway." Ace said, and just as he did the entire storehouse shook violently. The silver device exploded, and in it's place a dark vortex opened. It was a dark portal similar to what agents of the Empire used, only it was hardly as stable. It grew to the size of a van, and began to suck in the loosened crates, transporting them. It didn't take long for all of the the crates to be moved, and the members of the UH began to leap through the portal. The metal wolves would be too large to fit through, and thanks to Nomis there weren't any Empire troops to try and follow them. Shizuka ran into the portal, Ace stayed behind to make sure they were not followed, he didn't want Nomis sneaking any of his machinations through. The portal began to destabilize, his cue to hurry and get through it as well.

It took a great deal of effort to not stumble through a dark portal, so it was not a shock to anyone when Ace fell through like a ragdoll. "Whoa. Ace, you okay?" He looked up, seeing Shizuka look down on him. He stood up, brushing off his baggy clothing. 

"I'm fine... I think." He took a look around the large room, it was a mess. Many of the crates containing the food and weapons had broken open, and there were many injured scattered about, trying to get themselves together. This place was located on the outskirts of Hollow Bastion, and was the Unbound Heart's own supply bunker. "Once we get things sorted, I'll contact the base."
