As the guards started to walk up to them, Xerox was ready, and knocked the first person out with a single hit, leading to a concussion. He saw Heliose start to grab the gun from the other guard, as he went for the last guard. Getting ready to draw their sword, Xerox put his own hand over their hand, stopping the draw, and executing a quick roundhouse, knocking him into the wall. Quickly he followed up with a couple of knockout punches. Turning to check on Heliose and Rachel, both were safe, Heliose had secured the gun and the man was writhing in pain. Xerox secured the other gun, dagger and sword. Passing the dagger to Heliose and the gun to Rachel, he continued to lead.

Listening for more footsteps, it seemed there weren't many guards down there for some reason. Whatever the reason, they were able to move swiftly to retrieve the drives. Others having devices, it seemed that all of Xerox's clothes were here. [color=aqua]"Finally proper clothes."[/color] he said, wearing his clothes. With that, he could finally access his [b]ESS[/b]. With this chance, he quickly dropped a number of daggers, of random shape and size and metals and strength. [color=aqua]"This will be useful for you right? Just a warning, some of these are brittle and will easily break, others are ridiculously heavy or strong. It's all random at the moment, sort out what you want/need quickly, and we can move on to meet the others."[/color] Xerox told Heliose.

After that, he moved towards Rachel, dropping some medical equipment, such as a first aid kit, bandages, pain killers and an exterior robotic device made to help the body recover. [color=aqua]"We should get you ..."[/color] he was interrupted. An alarm was set off, and although soft from where they were, there was rumbling, suggesting explosions. From his [b]ESS[/b] he grabbed his glasses and quickly tuned them. 

Up above them, it was eight floors to reach ground level. On ground level, he noticed a familiar face. Eika. It also seemed other SeeDs were coming, some going up, others going down to rescue the captured SeeDs. Dropping a radio, he pressed a few buttons on the side of his glasses. Locating Duncan's team, and the radio frequency in use, through the glasses, he set his radio frequency. [color=aqua]"Fresno, do you hear me? Give the radio to Duncan, there's a bit of a situation he should know about."[/color] he quickly informed the guard, waiting for the radio to be handed over. 

[color=aqua]"Duncan. This is Xerox. I'm with Heliose and Rachel with our drives. Jericho is off to sabotage the power junction. Right now, above us, there's a team of SeeDs making their way through the building, and Eika is acting diversion. It seems a rescue squad is here. I believe we have the advantage with our reinforcements. It is quite possible we could capture "Mako". We should take this opportunity to get information about who our real enemy is. Seeking advice on how to proceed."[/color] Xerox informed and suggested to Duncan, before continuing to scan the area with his glasses. Enemies were making their way up from the stairs, to go up and fight off the intruders. [color=aqua]"Looks like there's a bunch of them coming up the stairs. We should try to cut them off, or the other teams might get pincered and killed before the rescue team arrives. What do you two think?"[/color] Xerox asked the Heliose and Rachel. [color=aqua]"Rachel, you feeling better?"[/color] he showed concern, while on the look out for the enemies coming. He made sure to store the other drives in his [b]ESS[/b] and had started to pull out some weapons they could use.
