In a cell in some type of lab, Chell just sat on a bed as she had no way of escape. The cell bars were energy based so trying to mess with them would result in some painful results, not that she was confident in doing anything to iron bars. The white cell had none of her equipment in it either as they took all her stuff for 'investigating'. Her Portal Gun, her Portable Thermal Discouragement Beam, her companion cube, her gels and even her hoody were taken from her before she was thrown in here. All she had left on her was this silly tiara she put extra effort into hiding. She was truly alone in this lab and it did not seem like she had any way out. No items, no tests, no friends... Nothing. Chell sighed as she walked up to the bars, as if looking for some break in them to spontaneously happen, someone to come... but nothing was. She did not even know why they were keeping her at this point.

... Honestly, as annoying as it is, she was kind of missing the hoody... She never even gave him a name before he was taken from her. She took it places yet never gave it anything other than the cold sholder... Why did she take it everywhere if she found it annoying? Was it to have someone she felt she could... trust... It may be too late to fix that, but she will hold on until something came up. She had to, her will to survive was the only thing she had on her at this point.

Meanwhile, outside the base was the exterior of the building that Vanish T. told the duo to go to to find the kidnapped girl. The building was two stories on the outside and in pretty poor shape but there may be underground levels for all the group could know. They did not exactly have intel of where the girl was being kept inside the building, obviously. The windows were all boarded up but the abandoned feel was quickly replaced by the fact there were pretty strong energy fields in front of them to keep out those that got funny ideas of breaking and entering.

The double doors at the front were a viable entrance but they had a few guards in front of them. Specifically, a large and muscular koopa carrying a chain chomp by the chain in his hand like it was nothing. There were more Chain Chomps on either side of him, assumingly as guard dogs to aide the Chomp Bro in warding off unwanted guests. To get in, they may need to figure out a way past him and his mutts.

Near the base in the black market, there was a robin looking down at the area and noticing how protected it was, especially with the buffed out koopa and his pet chain chomps by the front door. "Cheese and crackers, this might be hardly then it looks. Fortunately my partner should be here soon." The robin said as it fluttered towards a large rock and transformed back into her original form as she did, which was a human girl who looked towards the building, where a prisoner was being kept.

A prisoner called Chell, who Theodora was sent along with another girl to rescue. She looked at the Koopa and chain chomps, wondering how she could distract them so she can enter the building. "Hmm, maybe if I upset those chain chomps it would make the koopa distracted?" Theodora thought as she took out her wand.

But she wasn't going to use it yet, she's going to wait until her partner gets here so she can properly start the mission.

[heirtothemonado]

Phosphora traveled swiftly through the Black Market, carefully navigating the streets so she couldn't be spotted easily. The Black Market wasn't a good place for her to be at the best of times, but today that was especially the case. There had been a kidnapping, and Phosphora had been hired to go rescue her. She had to meet up with her partner first, however.

Soon, she came upon an old, worn down building, guarded by a beefy looking Koopa and a lot of chain chomps. "Well now, that looks promising" Phosphora thought. The building matched the description Vanish T. had given her too, so this had to be the place.

Carefully looking around, she spotted a brown haired girl holding a wand. Looks like she found her partner. Sneaking toward her, Phosphora tried to catch her attention.

"Psst. Hey." she called. "Your Theodora, right? My name is Phosphora. I was sent to help you rescue this girl." Phosphora stole a glance over to the Chomp Bro. "So what's your plan on getting past him?" she asked.

Chell, not having much more to do with her time and no one around, took out the tiara she got from that other world and inspected it. Was it just a cheap toy or was there more to it than that? There seemed to be no device to it so it may be useless... So this treasure may be a bust afterall. What a worthless thing to keep. Though it did remind of her of a show she used to watch when she was younger from it's design. What was it again? Captain Sun?... No, that was not it... It was about girls in sailor... "I see you are finding your cell completely perfect with your lack of escape attempts," a voice called out which caused Chell to quickly hide the tiara. That was a close one.

She looked to a thin and fairly short man, with blonde hair, blue eyes, a lab coat, blue shoes. gloves, and undershirt. Attached to the labcoat was a symbol that looked like a B... But it seemed a bit fancy... "Greetings, Chell, I am Dr. Beta Gamma Epsilon." Oh, that's right, it was the greek letter, Beta... Wait, did he just say her name? She did not recall telling anyone that. The girl glared at the scientist but did not say a word despite the questions she had. "Silent treatment, huh? I expected as much from you. It will make this conversation easier without your simple mind's habit of questioning everything or making snarky remarks." ... Yep, she was starting to looooove this guy already.

---

Meanwhile, while the two grouped up, the Chomp Bro continued to moniter the area... clearly not getting the bright idea to look up. He looked very strong, restraining that chomp like it's nothing, but there was a strong chance he was not the brightest bulb berry. The chomps jumped around, keeping a look out as well, but not any smarter than their master.

Theodora finally thought of a plan, but just then something appeared behind her and she turned, only to see that it was her partner, who had a cool appearance. "Cool." Theodora was amazed at Phosphora's appearance as she looked up at the girl. "Yeah. Were meant to rescue a woman in there." Theodora told Phosphora, pointing to the base they need to intercept if they want to rescue Chell. She then pointed to the koopa and chain chomps. "But as you can tell, there in our way. But fortunately not for long." Theodora aimed her wand at one of the chain chomps from a far.

"I'll give one of the chain chomps a little pinch on the back with one of my spells. That way he will think it will be one of his friends behind him and he'll attack, causing the koopa to be distracted and to try and stop said fighting. Which will give us enough time to sneak up to the door and find a way to go in to it." Theodora explained her plan before shooting a horse shoe from a far and towards a Chain chomp.

"I hope this works and they don't see us and attack." Theodora hoped to her partner.

Phosphora joined Theodora in her hiding spot as she explained her plan to get inside. Distracting the guard does seem like the best option right now, and she didn't have any ideas, so Phosphora simply got out of the way and let Theodora work her magic. "I sure hope this works, too" Phosphora thought to herself. That Koopa looked pretty buff, and didn't look like someone she wanted to mess with. "If it doesn't work, I hope your ready for a fight." Phosphora charged herself quickly, just in case that Theodora's charm didn't work. Never hurts to be prepared.

"Now, as you may know. There is a fundamental flaw we all accept. Though it may be our greatest weakness we ignore it. You see, Chell, that flaw is-" Beta began until a beeping came from his coat pocket. Chell looked at it for a moment and was clearly distracted from his incredibly boring beginning to a speech. "... Hold on, I need to answer this," the scientist said as he turned around and pulled a communications looking object from his pocket... Alright, he wasn't looking, she should make an attempt at making use of this distraction. She leaned an arm through the lasers, trying to snatch something from his pocket before he notices... "Report."

A horseshoe bumped against the head of one of the Chain Chomps and it looked around, hopping back and forth, seeing nothing besides the other Chain Chomp. Apparently assuming it was him it jumped at the other Chain Chomp and bit and barked at it. The Chain Chomp reeled back and jumped back and forth. "Hey! Stahp that! Cut it out!" the Chomp Bro called out as he lowered the Chain Chomp he was holding to stop the other two. Looks like it worked!

....

Well, that is until the held Chain Chomp noticed the Horseshoe on the ground and sniffed it... And then looked up to notice Theodora and giving out a bark. The other two stopped fighting and looked at the Chain Chomp before looking up with him... Followed by the Chomp Bro... Uh-oh, looks like it should of been taken into better account there were at least three Chain Chomps. The Chomp Bro gave a spin before chucking the Chain Chomp soaring through the air at Theodora who would try to chew into her.

(Theodora! Roll a 15 or higher in DEX to evade the Chomp toss. Failure results in taking 25% damage and being pulled toward the ground by the Chain Chomp. Blocking will still result in being knocked to the ground!)

The Chomp Bro then pulled out what looks like a Walkie Talkie and pressed a button. Uh-oh, looks like someone should take care of that before he calls for backup or an alert that something is wrong. Though, thankfully, Phosphora not getting involved appears to have made her go unnoticed by the guards and not a wanted target.

[Deleted]

"Bingo." Theodora said quietly as the horseshoe managed to hit the chain chomp and seemed to distract the four. All seemed well, except for the part where one of the chains quickly put two and two together and realised it was Theodora who threw the horseshoe. "Ohh. I should of used the fireworks instead." Theodora lamented as she turned towards Phosphora, putting a hand behind her head. "Sorry. I guess my plan didn't work out, but were still prepared to beat them." Theodora then turned towards the chain chomp that was about to maul her.

"Uh oh." Theodora tried to dodge the incoming chomp.

Theodora quickly slides under the chain chomp and towards the chomper bro, who was about to call for backup. Theodora quickly took out her wand and shot out fireworks in an attempt to destroy the walkie talkie. "Not today buff Koopa!" Theodora yelled to the koopa as she shot the fireworks at him in an attempt to destroy the radio.

After firing that attack she shot more horseshoes at the chain chomps quickly getting another idea on what to do with the four. She wanted to call on Phosphora but she didn't want to give away the girl's position should she stay in the hiding spot in case she had a plan of her own. "Hey Chain Chomps. What's the matter? Can't maul a girl like me?" Theodora taunted the three chain chomps as she shot two shots of Horseshoes at two of the chain chomps.

Phosphora winced as one of the Chain Chomps noticed Theodora. As the Chain Chomp raced toward Theodora, Phosphora noticed the Koopa pull out a walkie talkie. Oh dear, looks like this isn't a place for Phosphora to stick around! It looked like the Koopa hasn't noticed her, so while he was distracted, Phosphora slipped behind him and into the base "Sorry for leaving you behind, Theodora, but it was a chance I had to take" Phophora whispered to herself. She took a look at her surroundings once everything looked clear. Now, where to go from here?

Fortunately the Chain Bro was too distracted with his call and Phosphora had an easy opportunity to sneak past him and the Chain Chomps. "Hey, Boss! Someone is attacking my Chomps! I think somebody is trying to enter the base!" the bro reported and as Phosphora slipped by, she could make out a voice on the other end. "Then make sure no one gets in! We are going on high alert!" the talk cut off as Phosphora got in to a blue hall quite unlike the outside of the building which now appears to have been used for a cover up. The insides were cold blue metal with lights and techonological doors all over the place. Fortunately, with her powers it looked like infiltrating rooms would be no problem for her.

That is until, however, red lights filled the hall as a siren went off. "All guards, search the facility for any intruders and exterminate on sight! Bring their trophies to me! Red alert!" a voice commanded throughout the building. Unfortunately there looked like no places for the girl to hide and could she really take out the entirety of the guards at once? "Psssst! Over here!" a voice called to Phosphora from aside her, an open vent holding a black cat with white paws, a yellow collar and blue eyes spoke to her. "Follow me if you don't want every guard in here on you," he called once more before turning around and going further into the vents.

[heirtothemonado]

As Phosphora looked around, unsure of where to go next, a loud alarm started blaring throughout the hall, and the lights, which were a calm shade of blue before, started flashing a violent shade of red. A voice sounded off a PA system, and by the sounds of it, Phosphora probably didn't want to stand here and get caught by the guards!

Phorsphora started to panic. She couldn't fend off that many guards, and there was nowhere to run. Suddenly, Phorsphora heard a small voice calling to her somewhere to her left. Looking over she saw a large vent, one that looked big enough to climb into, and more importantly, the person--er, cat, who had just spoken. Phosphora was slightly taken aback by a cat that seemed completely normal, but knew how to talk, but now wasn't the time to question anything. Now was the time to get the Hades out of here! Crouching down, Phosphora followed the cat through the vents, not knowing where it was taking her, but it was her only option right now.

Meanwhile, an inconspicuous guard hunted for Phosphora through the halls, just kinda imitating the other guards. Except... they weren't actually trying. They were just going through the motions, putting on a show. They'd already found their meal ticket to head back to the prison, a trophy of Theodora. Poor girl, but if things went according to plan she'd be saving her too--so this worked out for her. She attempted to make her way back to the cells--presumably to deposit their latest prisoner, but in reality, trying to get close to a new one.

Ashe was truly a master of disguise. ...and infiltration.

[Blade Unlimited]

Unbeknownst to Ashe as she lugged the trophies girl down the hall towards the prisoner blocks, a peculiar and hilariously odd sight trailed not even 2 steps behind her. Someone with a plan similar to her's: A plan to save Chell by trailing a guard down to where they were keeping her, rescue the captured damsel and fight tooth and nail back out! Who was this daring fellow planning such a risky breakout though?!

"I'm coming Chell. Shiya to the rescue!"

With a ferocious fight came a conclusion as a chomp managed to grip onto Theodora so hard it brought her falling to the ground as the other Chomps joined in. Soon, when she landed, her body was converted to a trophy, to provide protection to the fearsome guard dogs. The Koopa from the Beanbean Kingdom began his march to retrieve the statue for the doctor but was intercepted by what looked like another guard... Oh, he must be on retrieval duty so he did not have to leave his post unguarded. Dr. Beta sure was an intelligent leader, much more than Bowser seemed to be. Usually he ordered paths that lead off cliffs from what he heard. "Ah, you must be here to find the intruder. The Doctor wants them taken directly to him. He is currently talking with that girl he hired to kidnap in his lab. It's down the hallway, farthest door to the left," the Chomp reminded.... rather convienantly to the guard. He clearly was not the brains of the outfit considering someone that worked here would know that long ago.

The Chain Chomps sniffed the guard but found that she smelled normal... Also nothing suspicious about that box walking down the hall. Must be one of Beta's Automated Packages. The box had a clear line to lead and the guards did not seem to pay the box any mind. Seeing moving boxes around here was quite normal actually.

Meanwhile, Morgana looked behind him to make sure Phosphora got in before calling out quietly. "Alright Zorro, fix the grate,"  Mona stated as the grate behind Phosphora was suddenly placed back into it's position. "I am guessing you are here for the girl? Just shake or nod," the cat asked quietly back, looking for a reaction before moving forward. "Follow me, I found a secret vent shaft leading straight to the lab they have her in," he added before moving on. As he passed over the hallway he noticed a guard bringing in a captive and.... a box? That was a bit suspicious but no one seemed to notice it so it was best to ignore it for now. They were heading for the door that held the girl from the looks of it. He made his way to a corner of a vent above the lab before putting a paw up to tell Phosphora to wait. They needed an opportunity or he would call for backup for most certain.
Beta looked to the door and Chell was forced to retract her hand to avoid notice. Dang, she was so close to the remote out of here. Who was here now? "Ah, you brought the intruder. You did not see any sign of anyone else did you?" Beta asked before noticing a box accompanying her... He... did not remember sending for a package... especially that kind. "Hm..." Beta put his hand up as a sign to tell the guard that just entered not to move. "I'm sorry. I do not recogonize you. What is your name, guard?" Beta asked as he put his finger to the inbetween of his glasses as if pushing them up... Though, if you looked closely at his fingers, you would notice not both were on the bridge, but one was oddly hovering above his right rim. Was he suspicious?

Morgana saw that the doctor's attention was on the guard. He saw this as a moment to make his move. "Stay out of sight," Morgana stated simply in a low whispher before the cat dived down and pushed the grate gently away before moving towards Beta from behind, trying to keep out of sight. Fortunately he may not notice him right now due to his small size and his attention being elsewhere. Chell was confused by the box as well... It seemed really familiar... The guard also seemed really familiar... Was that a cat? Who let a cat in?

Phosphora nodded to the cat in response to the question. Looks like her and Theodora weren't the only two that were coming to rescue this girl. Once the grate was back in place behind her, Phosphora followed the cat through the vents, which, according to the cat, lead right to the girl she was supposed to find. Once the cat motioned for her to stop, Phosphora glanced ahead of her. She managed to see the room that the girl was kept in, as well as two people talking in front of her, one of whom looked like a guard. Before Phosphora could get a better look, the cat whispered for her to stay back. Crawling back a little way so she wouldn't be seen, Phosphora watched as the cat hopped out of the vent so he could watch closer
