[color=MediumSpringGreen]“Good thinking, Witch Hunter,”[/color] the Knight of Tomorrow told the blue-haired agent with an appreciative smile as the melody’s comforting warmth washed over her. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“And thank you.”[/color] Now that they were as fully prepared as they could be, the team entered the elevator, leaving Ellie to cover their exit. To Ashley’s pleasant surprise, not only was the elevator ride uneventful (if a tad on the long side), but so was their passage through the subterranean corridors. If anything, she had been expecting even [i]fiercer[/i] resistance here, and yet, there wasn’t a single guard to be found. What [i]were[/i] in abundance, however, were the many victims of the weretigers’ human trafficking operation. Elise, their teller-turned-guide, had warned them to be prepared for this, but even though she had done her best to steel herself, Ashley still felt a spike of pain and fury pierce her heart at the tragic sight. [color=MediumSpringGreen][i]Those fucking monsters…[/i][/color] the high-tech heroine seethed. [color=MediumSpringGreen][i]Awful doesn’t even [b]begin[/b] to describe it…[/i][/color] When Elise noted that the agents probably weren’t going to just leave the captives to their horrific fate, the Knight of Tomorrow’s response was immediate. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“Right,”[/color] she confirmed, her tense voice filled with determination. Indeed, it was taking all her willpower to keep from breaking open each cell they passed. However, as much as she wanted to free the poor victims immediately, she knew their first priority had to be locating Binky. After [i]she[/i] had been liberated, the rest would follow. Soon enough, they reached the captured agent’s cell. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“Binky!”[/color] Ashley called when she caught sight of the cabbage-haired esper. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“Thank goodness you’re okay,”[/color] she added with a relieved exhale upon seeing that her mentor seemed to be unharmed. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“These are Agents Witch Hunter and Cerberus,”[/color] the high-tech heroine told Binky, nodding to each agent in turn as she opened the cell door with a blast from her techno-wand. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“And I agree,”[/color] she added when the freed agent mentioned holding more formal introductions later. [color=MediumSpringGreen]“First we need to find your grimoire, and then free the rest of these prisoners. Can you sense your grimoire well enough to lead us to it?”[/color] she inquired, helping Binky to stand if necessary.
