Chapter 22 - Rex on the Move

Rex sat in the small room that only had a table. "Damn it, what's taking them so long." Rex said.

"I too, am wondering that." Mackerel said.

Rex was deep in thought when someone burst through the door. "Bad news!" The man said.

" What is it?" Rex asked in an annoyed tone.

"Sir Waku, Sir JiJiO, and Lady Bella have all been defeated." Mackerel looked with a shocked expression.

'What! Members of the G7-4 have been defeated?' He thought.

"Mackerel!" Rex said.

"Yes I know. Are the intruder's whereabouts known?" Mackerel asked the man.

"A lot of the noise came from the cells." He explained.

"So it's safe to assume the prisoner fought back?" Mackerel asked.

"Yes, most likely," Rex answered.

"I will head to the cells. Mackerel go look for the other intruders." Rex said as he stood up and left the room.

"I need food." An unable to move Yuu said.

Bella had long since fallen over, unconscious, next to Yuu. 'Maybe I should just rest a little.' Yuu thought to herself.

Sakrio continued to run with Kamio on his back. "Hey! Recognize any of this yet?" Sakiro asked.

"No, why would it?" Kamio replied.

"I don't know, we're near the ground floor, I thought you may have come from this way," Sakiro explained to him.

A tiny man walked out of a secret back exit of the tower. "Damn, does Rex really think I stand a chance against people who could beat G7-4? I may be the leader of the G7-4, but I am the weakest member. Damn it!" Mackerel yelled as he walked through a back alley.

"My my, what's got you riled up, Mackerel?" Mackerel heard someone ask from behind him.

He turned around and saw Irima leaning against the wall. "Lady Irima?! You've returned?" Mackerel yelled in shock and surprise.

'She picked a really impromptu time to return, damn.' Mackerel thought.

"You look upset, and why are you leaving through the back exit?" Irima asked him.

"Um, Well … we've decided, while you were gone, to perform checks on all the entrances and exits." Mackerel lied.

Irima smirked, "really now? I get the feeling that that isn't the truth." Irima said.

'Food.' Thought Yuu, has she laid on the ground partially unconscious.

The unconscious Yuu stood up and left the cells. She walked through the empty halls until she came upon a locked room. She attempted to open the door for several minutes but failed. "So you left the cells and came to the kitchen. Damn brat." Rex said to the partially unconscious Yuu.
