[Jacob]

*Setting: Quade shifted anxiously in the old warehouse as he watched the Hotel from afar. After recon had reported back with information regarding the captured Agents and seemingly backed up the anonymous phonecall, Kowloon ordered immediate action and three quarters of the Agency had been scrambled, surrounding the old Hotel and preparing for action. He had even ordered the trainee's to join them as, yet another, training excercise. The majority of the Agents were kitted out in heavy armour with automatic weapons and the ones that weren't were given strict instructions to stay on the exterior and pick off hostiles as they escaped. Quade and Marl were some of the few who were chosen to pick of the escapee's, which obviously, pissed them off. As dawn approached with every second that ticked by, Kowloon gave the order. Hovercraft of all shapes and sizes flew steadily towards the Motel, ready to dispatch the Agents they carried so that they Agents inside could be rescued...hopefully intact.*

*Setting: Blood dripped from the deep cut in Ella's cheek as Lilias stepped away from her, brandishing a scalpel. Smiling wickedly the female Shadowcrawler purred, licking the blood off the blade.*

Lilias: "You know, i could do this forever..."

Looking up the Changling snarled, the beatings she had endured were emotionally, physically and psychologically draining, to say the least, but she knew that eventually her torturers would give in...and either let her go, or kill her.

Ella: "B-But you won't."

She smiled awkwardly as she watched the female pace back and forth infront of her.

Lilias: "One of you will give in...i guarantee it."

Once again Ella smiled and gently shook her head.

Ella: "No...we won't."

As Lilias opened her mouth to reply there was a firm knock on the door, snarling the female turned and opened it slightly. For a couple of seconds there was some irrate chatter before Lilias quickly stepped outside and seemingly ordered the creature into the room. Stepping in the Shadowcrawler drew his Katana and stepped upto Ella before placing the blade upon her neck.

Shadowcrawler: "You won't leave here alive..."

*Setting: Lilias entered her uncles room and quickly headed to his desk were he was sat, solemnly. His room was completly bare, aside from his desk and an old matress thrown on the ground for him to sleep on.*

Lilias: "What is going on? There's talk of a possible attack..."

Looking up, her uncle nodded and sighed, he then pointed to the bathroom were the only window which wasn't boarded up was.

Hurn: "Our base is being surrounded. Its them. They've found us..."

Stepping towards the bathroom door, the female suddenly stopped. Sunlight was coming through the window, thus preventing her from seeing unless she wore some protective clothing.

Lilias: "Are you sure? How would they know where to find us??"

Wheeling his wheelchair to the front of the desk, the creature sighed and shook his head.

Hurn: "I don't know, or care...we need to leave, Lilias. We need to leave now..."

Lilias: "What about the hostages?"

Again the 'crawler shook his head.

Hurn: "Their lives are nothing compared to ours...if they die, they die. But we must live."

Stepping upto the back of his chair she nodded and then proceeded to wheel him out of the room and to safety.

*Setting: Smirking, the 'crawler ordered to guard Ella was bragging about the creatures he had killed in the past, ranging from Saurians to Big Bro Sligs and more.*

Ella: "So you're proud of the lives you have taken for nothing?"

Shadowcrawler: "It wasn't for nothing...i've always taken some kind of souvenier, whether it be a tooth...an eye...or Foetus, heh."

He stared down at her proudly as she turned away in disgust. He then forced her to bring her to look at him by grasping her hair and pulling it back. He then placed the point of the blade on the lower part of her throat and gently pushed.

Shadowcrawler: "I'm thinking i might take your Uterus...or Womb...something special like that."

Ella: "Nice(!) Tell me, have you ever killed a Changling before?"

Scoffing the 'crawler stepped back and smirked.

Shadowcrawler: "Course. Countless, infact. Killed a male, not so long ago...he begged for mercy as i skewerd him, forced my blade in so deep even the handle got stained."

Turning his Katana around he then showed the base of the blade were the blade met the handle, and there wedged in the join was the dried up blood of a male Changling.

Ella: "Don't lie, if that was real Changling blood i'd be able to smell it..."

The guard was taken aback and in his arrogance wanted to prove to the hostage that the blood was real. Bringing it closer to her face he encouraged her to smell it.

Shadowcrawler: "Go on, take a deeeep sniff. Taste it if that proves anything...might aswell get a taste of your destiny. Heh."

Looking up at him Ella silently mocked his stupidity and stuck her tongue out, lapping abit of the dried up blood off the blade.

Shadowcrawler: "Now do you believe me...?"

Smirking Ella nodded.

Ella: "Yeh, but you really shouldn't have allowed me to do that..."

As she said this her body seemed to shift and distort. Even though the male Changlings are too big for a female Changling to morph in to, females can still have a brief moment were there skin expands and changes, this quickly subsides however when the bones do not follow suit. But still, this brief process was enough to snap the restraints that held her and in a matter of seconds Ella had leapt up and kicked the 'crawler in the groin. The stunned beast fell to his knee's in dire pain, hardly breathing. Smiling Ella cracked her neck and then grasped the 'crawlers head, copied his DNA, morphed into him and then quickly snapped his neck. She then crouched down and picked up his Katana, before heading for the door.

***

*Setting: Heavily armoured Agents quickly headed to the roof door and edges. The one's who made their way to the roof door quickly kicked it in before descending the steps to the top floor, whilst the one's who headed to the edge of the roof jammed a shard of metal into the concrete, tied a rope onto the metal and then around themselves and then rapelled from the roof...*

Shadowcrawler #2: "Hey, Hurn wants to see you. Urgently."

The second 'crawler entered the small room were one of the other hostages was being kept and directed this at the guard who had been ordered to stay with the hostage. The blade of the guards Katana was pressed firmly on Silians throat, so that if Agents did break in the Sauk could be easily dispatched.

Shadowcrawler #1: "What? Why?"

Easing the blade off the creatures throat, the guard stepped forwards, just incase the information he was about to be given was covert. Unfortunatly for him as soon as he did this the second 'crawler had shoved its Katana deep into his stomach. The first 'crawler winced in pain, looking into the eyes of its comrade with a startled expression. The blade was then jerked upwards, cutting through the Intestines and Stomach before finally slicing through the Heart and thus killing the being. Watching in puzzlement was the beat-up Sauk, only when the 'crawler shifted into Ella did he catch on with what was happening, but even then he was still abit shellshocked to see his enemy change into his friend.

*Setting: Stopping on the 11th floor balcony Lilias and Hurn looked out across to the garage that was across on the next building and atleast five storey's below them. The garage was also on the outside, but thankfully the Suns position meant that the sunlight was behind the Hotel, casting the Hotels shadow across the ground and thus shading them from the lethal light.*

Shadowcrawler: "S-Sir?"

The voice came from behind them and upon turning Lilias and Hurn was greeted with the pressence of another 'crawler.

Hurn: "What is it?"

Shadowcrawler: "The Agents are cutting us down and the one's that have survived are retreating, most of the Agents are in the Hotel and we feel its the right time to arm the bomb, but the Lightkeepers are saying they won't arm it until they get verification from you..."

He shifted nervously, not knowing what his superior's reaction would be.

Lilias: "I'll go and make them arm it, you, take my uncle outside to the garage across the street. If i'm not there in 3 minutes drive him to safety, understood?"

Nodding the inferior footsoldier stepped upto his superior and crouched down infront of him, allowing him to clamber onto his back. He then stepped out onto the balcony and leapt out...

***

*Setting: Firing his Magnums at any potential escapee Quade quickly approached the main exit were the 'crawlers were leaping from. Thankfully he had the added advantage of the Sunlight to help him, which, if he missed, would kill, or atleast disable, the 'crawlers for him. As he neared the eight corpses he had helped to kill he holstered his weapons and crouched down, the window from were they where scrambling from led to a darkened basement. Reaching for one of the Katana's, the 'crawlers had holstered to them, Quade took a quick glance around and then descended into the basement.*

(OOC: Crapness i know, but i want to end this one so i can focus more on the decenter one's.)
