Seiya couldn't believe what was going on here, these children were in no good shape nor was the fact that there were children who passed due to the conditions here. He felt like he let down these children even if this was not directly his responsibility. If only he came here sooner, if only such a thing was possible.
Sadly he couldn't linger on those thoughts. He could only think about what he can do from here on. Observing his surroundings, the room didn't exactly show many exploited windows of opportunity to capitalize on. Seiya needed to get creative if he was to break them out.
'' I could try to bust us out using my power but then I'd have to deal with the entirety of the enemies in the vicinity although Gakusha and the others are around but I don't want them to force their hands because of me. ''
The male looked at the door and then at the walls surrounding them. Was the chambers to the side of the room close enough that he could break through the wall to reach the other side?
If he caused a certain level of disturbance, maybe just maybe he could use it as an opportunity to get these kids out all in one fell swoop but to do so required some time to think.
In the meantime, Sakura split off from Hakai and Gakusha just as the other two split off from one another to cover more ground and to get a broad understanding of where everything was.
Sakura moved through the long hallway until it reached the general meeting room of the general soldiers, taking the left pathway to check out what laid over there although the density of soldiers gave her some semblance of what to expect.
With no doubt there was something important over there or someone important.
Sakura's mind immediately jumped to a certain thought.
Was it her? The lady that Seiya has mentioned time and time again?
Was it the Reigning Empress of the Eastern Lands?
Sakura kept to the walls, thankfully the miasma that coated her did not have its effects expire but this did make her wonder why Gakusha had this ready and waiting for a time like this and how he was able to get this curated to this extent. What was the story behind this vial?
She sighed, now she's thinking just like Hakai did when his prodding questions about Gakusha made her over-analyze the convenience of a particular situation but before she stayed in one place playing detective too long, she continued her movement throughout foreign territory.
She walked past the various soldiers walking back and forth down the western corridors, hearing them make comments about their special guest which only made Sakura walk faster.
The sounds of her footsteps made the guards stop their patrol.
'' Hey, did you hear that? ''
The guards looked at one another before looking at where Sakura stood but they didn't see anything. The carpet draped all over the outpost grounds had a small indent in it but they just mistook it for their patrol path since they just walked back and forth and exchanged shifts with the other duo who had gone to stand in front of a certain door.
'' Never mind, it must've been my imagination. ''
The male shook his head as he shrugged off his concerns while the other guard sighed and slammed the back of the other guard before they went and talked about getting wasted after their shift was over, Sakura had continued moving on since they were moving away from her.
The pink haired girl kept walking down the left corridors, seeing a giant door on the right end of the hallway which led to a bath-house of some sort but since this didn't involve her, she ignored it.
Further down the hallway had been a giant door with two guards standing in front of it.
'' This door, I have no doubt that someone or something important is behind this door. ''
She looked at the two guards and the fact that the giant door had a black crystal in front of it that seemingly melded the door shut. How exactly could she open this door?
Sakura sighed, she knew that this wasn't going to be easy but she had to figure something out.
'' Darn it, why couldn't these things just be simple. I need to regroup with Hakai and Gakusha, but before that... I should see if I can do something about that crystal myself. ''
Sakura thought to herself as she then looked at the two guards. Could she possibly mess around with the crystal without being found out by the two of them? There was a fat chance of that possibility but this didn't stop her mind from thinking about it.
Oh well, she'll just have to act within reason and go from there.
