(Sorry Smooshie, I haven't forgotten, it's just that Nepht forgetting everything is going to have some major emotional impact, which is hard to convey at midnight.

So, I'm going to respond in a bit.)

"Petra, I'll be right behind you, Lanius and I just have to slow them down..." Kaizen said, firmly.

He glared at Petra, until she did what he said, climbing down into the sewer bellow and leaving Kaizen alone with Lanius and the soldiers, who were less than a minute away from reaching them.

"Alright, I'm guessing that you have a plan?" Lanius panted, still exhausted from opening the gate.

Kaizen nodded, wandering over to the gate as it shifted, they had about forty seconds...

"Don't... I... Always?" The Argonian panted, hobbling over to the grate again and opening it, it took a lot of effort to do so but he finally got it open.

"Okay, so... How're we going to get out of here?" Lanius asked, stepping closer towards him as the steel door behind them was half way open by this point.

Kaizen looked over his shoulder, seeing one of the guards crouching down, in an effort to get inside.

"Need... to buy... some time..." Kaizen wheezed, bringing his arm up, which took a lot of effort as the pistol was heavy and he wasn't at his full strength right now.

Lanius nodded, drawing his swords, three guys wouldn't be so hard to take down, even if one was a superior officer.

"Okay... How do we do tha..." Lanius was interrupted by a loud bang as Kaizen's gun went off, he immediately screamed and fell to the floor, clutching his knee and crying out in pain as he rolled around. The Black Argonian looked up and glared at the guard, who was almost in the room, prompting him to start climbing down, into the sewers.

His progress was slow but he knew that Lanius would not surrender; he'd try to fruitlessly fight his way out, like any soldier worth their salt would. This wasn't his plan originally but having three people down in that sewer would be a death-trap as Lanius would end up running up behind them and getting them all killed, if they had to make a quick escape.

As predicted, Lanius scrambled, shakily to his feet, clutching an Imperial sword in each hand, panting heavily as the guards approached, ready to fight to the death. As much as he loathed Kaizen right now as much as he would gladly step aside and let Knight retake him, that would require surrendering and no Legion soldier, worthy of respect would willingly throw down their sword.

Not even a defector...
