Jake had been slowly making his way toward the centre of the complex in an attempt to regroup with the front entrance team.  To say the back had been lightly guarded would be a heavy over exaggeration, it would seem that most of the guards had been moved up to guard the front of the building.  The few rooms that Jake checked had mostly been empty, and there'd been no site of the target.  As he passed a door he picked up on what sounded like shuffling footsteps.  'heh some coward who wishes to hide from his fate'  Jake turned round heading back to the door, daggers ready he kicked the door open standing in its opening.  "There's no use hiding, come and accept the end that fate has offered you."  There was no response, the room from what he could see was cluttered with equipment and what was likely old paperwork.  "Fair enough, if you won't come to me then I'll come to you."  Jake stepped into the room glancing into the blind spot that the doorway had forced upon him.

He was greeted by something he didn't quiet expect as a bright light shone into his eyes "argh... you little shit!" Jake swiped out blindly with one of his left weapon.  There was the scrapping sound of steel unevenly meeting steel before he heard his left jacket arm tear and an comfortable stinging sensation following shortly afterwards, the pain that erupted from it caused the SeeD to drop his left weapon to the ground regaining his sight as he watched it get kicked back out into the hallway.  He looked ahead to see the sword wielding soldier standing before him, as the dark energy filled him with a burst of rage, Jake quickly jabbed his right dagger into the soldiers arm twisting the weapon swiftly as he watched the solider drop his only weapon in page.  He softly chuckled before grabbing the solider, pulling towards him, then pushing him out into the hallway.  As he pushed the soldier Jake used his heightened agility to slash at the soldiers left leg, watching as he dropped to the floor.  "Get up!" Jake demanded as he used his wounded arm to drag the solider back up to his feet.  "Where is he?!" Jake interrogated the wounded soldier, dagger held to his throat.  His weapon hand began to become unsteady, the darkness taking its toll on his body, and as the solider was about to speak he heavily slashed across the soldiers throat and stepped aside to avoid its spray.  The SeeD leant against the wall taking a moment to recuperate.  Feeling tired he sheathed the dagger and walks over to recover the other one from where it had been kicked.

The pain started to set in and Jake was forced to remove his jacket, making it into a makeshift sling to rest his wounded arm in. "Well so much for being the 'experienced SeeD'" Jake mumbled to himself.  "I best regroup with the other team." Dagger in his right hand to defend himself from any un-expected surprises Jake began to navigate his way to the front of the building to meet up with the Balamb SeeD's.  "I need to get more used to these human opponents, far less predictable then plain old monsters."
