Accessing his ESS Xerox took out a device similar to the one he passed Charlotte. So far, no soldiers had caught him, and he had mostly recovered. Waiting for the device to be ready to activate. Moments later, he saw it blink. It was ready. Pressing the button, he activated the device, alongside activating his ESS at the same time, where the device was. A black vortex appeared from the device. There it was, his proudest invention, Teleportation Gates. The same black vortex appears from the device Charlotte has as well. Whether she is holding it, or placed it on the ground.
This paired device has two requirements, tons of paramagic, partly due to the inefficiency of the energy conversion and the rest due to the raw energy required. He has pumped thousands of paramagic into the device to activate it once. This is his second time ever activating it. The other, the most crucial requirement, is the distorted space, his ESS. This device allows to opening of the ESS for organic material, that is living things. More energy is required for extra distance and material. Of course, there were limitations to it. The energy burns out the engine, therefore requiring a fix after a single use, also, it locks up the ESS for 36 hours. Another is the strain on the living thing that passes through. The engine can take days to fix, so he would take a while before he could fix this. It took him a long time to charge it up, and to use it once, let alone this second time.
Jumping through the vortex, the device used on Xerox's end is taken into the ESS behind him. The strain he feels on his body is due to the dimensional distortions and laws of physics changes he has to experience through the vortex. Not long after the portal appears in front of Charlotte, Xerox appeared. Depending on where the device on Charlotte's end was, or the direction it faced, would change where Xerox landed. If Charlotte held the device in her hand, and it pointed away, he would land neatly on the floor. If it faced her, he would obviously crash into her. If it was on the ground and away from Charlotte, he would end up rolling along the ground as he came out. If it faced her, he would, again crash into her, however, would end up in a .... position that would lead to many misunderstandings. After appearing, he would feel a great strain on his body, making it difficult to move. He had not fully recovered from using Rise of the Machines, therefore the strain was greater than the last time he used the device.
Nodding at Instructor Duncan's words, Rue turned to see Syrus had taken the leader of the Galbadian soldiers in the area down as hostage. Scanning the room, he saw a soldier at the back, with what looked like wrist mounted PDA. That was definitely Duncan's Junction Drive. Pressing the button to cause the DS back into it's bracelet form, on all fours, Rue weaved passed the soldiers, they were unable to match his speed and agility as he passed through most of their legs. Some soldiers tried to slash, others were ready to aim, but none ended up attacking, in fear of injuring their allies. Jumping up to the soldier at the back, he deployed the DS into it's shield form. Smashing into the soldier. The soldier lost his footing and fell to the ground, dropping the PDA. Dashing again, he made it to the PDA.
He was far from any soldier to use as cover as he did before however. The agility and speed he had would get hit shot before he could make it back to Duncan. Rue threw the PDA over, accurately towards Duncan. As he threw it, Syrus was taken down by the Lieutenant. The PDA flew above the two of them, dropping towards Duncan, who hopefully could catch it. In the midst of this, the soldiers came to shoot at Rue. The DS was made very resilient, that the shots were not even making a dent on it. But Rue was not really in a position to move.
