>>5470075Arctus is standing perfectly still, staring the raven-haired man down as his pitch black hair swirls out around his head. Yet neither seems aware of your presence, focused entirely on each other. Which could be a problem, he may have your friend pinned! But then you see it! He makes a subtle move, index finger on his right hand twitching towards the door, instead of at his opponent. And in that moment you understand completely, he's pointing you towards where the rest of the family went! So, without hesitation, you turn from Arctus and charge the next set of double doors, blasting through them as well. Immediately more of the security turrets that you'd seen the remains of open fire, but you pay them no mind. Their energy shots are completely ineffective, the energy streaking across your Energy Body as you keep charging forward.
After a dozen seconds the hallway ends in another set of double doors, you charging shoulder-first through them both. Knocking them both off their hinges, the two doors flying towards the mother and Milluki, who is already breathing heavily. But right before impact another of the black-suited butlers blurs forward, catching both doors in her large hands.
“Thank you Tsubone. Please, protect us.” the woman with the visor says, turning to Milluki and in a scolding tone continues. “Come ON Milluki, move! He's right behind us!”
“Wh-Wha-? Oh shit!” he shouts, scampering to his feet and the two rush towards the far door. While the butler woman, Tsubone presumably, hurls the doors back towards you one at a time. But you don't let them slow you down, charging straight through them directly for the door behind the butler. You've not got time for her. But then, to your complete shock, she braces her feet, and <span class="mu-i">catches</span> you! Despite pushing her back dozens of feet, she actually manages to stop your charge short of the door.
“I will not let you pass, ape.” the woman says sternly, veins bulging on her head as she holds you back, aura blazing. “They are under MY protection!”
“You're stronger than expected.” you reply, leaping back from her and landing on your feet. You then take your fighting stance while focusing your ki sense on the retreating ki of Milluki. You're not letting him get away, no matter what!
