Chapter 41 - Chapter 41 : Regroup

After Gakusha, Hakai and Sakura had met up, they conversed about what they'd do after compiling together all the information they gathered. The outpost was quite big but this didn't stop them from wandering for as long as they did and taking notes. It was time for them to share.

'' I've checked the northern chambers of the outpost and the Dark Hand Commander entered a meeting. The doors are extremely thick so there's no worry about her overhearing anything beyond those doors once they are sealed. I walked quickly back over here so there's no way she's leaving the conference anytime soon. We should act quickly. ''

Gakusha shared the relevant information as quickly as he could before looking at Hakai who shared information on his findings although he didn't deem it all that important.

'' I didn't really see much besides sparring grounds and the armory. I wish I had better information for you but that's all I could find. ''

'' Not a problem, I'm sure I can put that information to good use. How about you Sakura? What did you find? ''

The two then shifted their gaze at Sakura, hoping to hear what she had to tell them. She made sure her volume was as low as theirs since the veil that kept them hidden only kept their appearances blending in with the environment but their spoken words would still traverse open space.

'' I found a giant door that had a crystal embedded into it. I tried to open the door but in a way I'm a bit happy it didn't open since there were two guards there. There was also a bath-house on the way to the giant door at the far end of the hallway but I doubt it's important in any way. ''

'' I think I'll be able to help you out Sakura. Are you coming with us Gakusha? ''

The two looked at the adult in the group but the look on his face gave him the answer they sought .

'' No I have somewhere else to be, you two be careful. I have to deal with a possible problem before it happens. A bit of preparation if you will. This will probably be the last time we speak before things get out of hand. I've already given Seiya his task after he gets captured and since he's doing his best in rescuing all the possible children from within their confines, it's up to us to help free his sister if she is truly here. He trusted us with following him after he became bait so it only makes sense that we carry on with our task to the best of our ability. Let's get going now. ''

The group split up, Hakai and Sakura towards the door that she mentioned and Gakusha to the section of the outpost that Hakai had mentioned. Gakusha was no fool, the likelihood that things will get chaotic was fast approaching and Gakusha wouldn't let these soldiers have their weapons ready. He had every intention on sabotaging their gear supply and tip the scales in their favor.

Hakai and Sakura stood before the giant door, taking note of the guards in front of it. Sakura did wonder how they'd handle this issue but Hakai had a very simple approach to this.

'' Considering these guards will act to the door opening, you'll have to charge in and since my veil will be lifted once I use my powers.. I'll have to stay behind and draw attention. Do what you have to do in there and be quick. ''

Hakai didn't give Sakura a chance to speak, he raised the arm that had the black marking on it which resonated with the crystal on the door.

The door promptly opened and Hakai's position was exposed to the guards. He tried to not look in Sakura's direction so as to not give away her position. With one last word before he charged at the guards, he spoke to the female.

'' Go. ''
