Hibiki counted the seconds it took her to get out of there. She had to hurry, not wanting to waste a moment. In roughly one minute, the barrier on the Killa Kan would break and leave the mech exposed to the heat. After that there was no telling what could happen. Either the bombs just get destoryed, or they explode prematurely. All the more reason Hibiki needed to get out as soon as possible, but when she actually got out of the tunnels she just received Bastion's message. Retreating was exactly what Hibiki was going to do, but Shizuka had a surprise for her: Total Cessation of Hostilities between the Demons, Angels, and Machina forces. Opening up a direct communication link to her Sister, Shizuka and Hibiki shared a dialog.

[color=f6989d]"What?! No way!"[/color]

[color=6ecff6]"It's true. I just received word from Marquis and Bastion. It seemed like she negotiated something with them. The teleporter is ready to go, but the bombs-"[/color]

[color=f6989d]"The bombs! Shit! Get ready to evac, it may be too late!"[/color]

[color=6ecff6]"But Hibiki, what about you?"[/color]

[color=f6989d]"Don't worry about me, sis will take care of things right quick!"[/color]

Just as Hibiki arrived to the top of her stairs, things only got worse for her. Her stealth cloak had fallen, so her ten minutes were up. Worse still an angel soldier was flying straight towards her. On a reflex Hibiki got low to the ground and took out her pistol, only to realize it was a familiar face. [color=f6989d]"You.... You're that angel who had infiltrated the Eliticor."[/color] If memories served, this angel was Diana. Hibiki was able to obtain a small dossier about her, mostly thanks to Shizuka being in possession of Diana's sword. But aside from that fact that Daina was on the angel's side and that her blade was effective against dragon-like creatures, Hibiki didn't know her other abilities or history. She obviously had wings and could spit lightning.

[color=f6989d]"You must be here because of the cease fire... Well... Alight! I need your help. I had planted explosives onto the ractor core, but if we don't hurry then this entire place is going to go up in flames!"[/color] It was very odd that Hibiki was telling Diana, technically her enemy, about this sabotage. But Hibiki didn't realize there was a cease fire until she had already gone through with her plans. And while the Nexus was a haven for war crimes, Hibiki wasn't going to mess up this chance because of miscommunication. [color=f6989d]"Let's go, there should be two robots down there. The one closest to the reactor has the bombs planted on them and they're armed. I need to get them back or else who knows what they'll do under these conditions."[/color]

Meanwhile Shizuka was pleased to see Henry leave peacefully. She didn't pursue him, though she did swoop down to secure the mech and more importantly, it's pilot. Shizuka struck fast and cleaved into the cockpit, revealing the pilot withing. Shizuka was careful not to kill the pilot as the maid had many questions. [color=6ecff6]"Titania, please help me secure this prisoner. Do not let her near any of our equipment."[/color] The fact that this woman was piloting a mech instead of some sort of angel golem told Shizuka that she had good technical skills. Where she learned those skills was what Shizuka wanted to know, as someone like her could be either a valuable ally or a dangerous enemy. Either way Miyu was going to be a prisoner for now, and Shizuka kept a close eye on her. She wouldn't hesitate to run her through if she so much as reached for something in her pocket or behind her back.
