Sometime around 8:30 to 9:00 P.M, November 8th

Soon enough, Blue awoke against the wall of a padded-like room tinted with blue lights. The first person they were greeted with had a familiar, but hated face who was looking down upon him. The fugitive tried to stand up and punch this Infiltrator but his body was immobile, tied up. That's when they felt the strong rope tied around his arms and legs, keeping them rigid in place against the clothes he had under the Infiltrator uniform. It seemed that the disguise had been taken off at some point upon his arrival in the cell. His eyes began to peer behind the man standing tall in front of them, noticing windows being him with more Infiltrators, like he was in some bloody test room. And, oh... they were highly provoked by these conditions and lashed out words full of anger and hatred for those against him. Yet they were muffled by duct tape covering his mouth.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRwMj9yK62p
This man... 1204, he crouched down to the feisty Subjects level while giving him a sinister grin as he manically chuckled before speaking.
"Ahh... I finally caught you, you dirty bastard. Killing so many Infiltrators, and our General. Oh-hoh! But fret not, many more victims are willing to join and destroy you and your puny group. It doesn't matter what you say now... I can't hear you. But you may be wondering, oh why haven't you just shot me dead yet, well... any traitor deserves a fair torturing trial before their life ends."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAobb6QPQqv
Blue knew there's nothing fair in Hemlock. But they did not know what to do at this moment in order to get out of it.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wdw5S4dR0
While he was preoccupied with his thoughts and silenced anger, 1204 had gotten ahold of two torture devices — both ones to inflict pain within his body through electric shocks — a stun belt and baton. The man laid the belt on a hook bolted to the wall before whacking against the arm of Blue with the baton. A strong electric charge surged through his arm and eventually his whole body, causing them to spaz out and jitter like crazy. Yet the painful yelps of his were muffled.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLS4i9hYNTZ
"Good. Seems like that got your attention, dimwit. Now I gotta put this on you whether you like it or not. Although it's better if you despise the pain, it only brings more joy to all of us!"
The Infiltrator laughed villainously once again before switching out the baton for the belt. He began to buckle it around Blue's waist, struggling to do so as the subject resisted through wiggling their body.
"Gah— stay still, idiot! Fighting back will only make this more painful than it has to be!"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFN4yuWCsYa
Blue didn't care. He was mad and he was going to show that through even more intense resistance while tied up, almost making the Infiltrator trip. This pissed 1204 off even more, giving a hard kick to Blue's jaw with his steel-toed boot. They winced in pain from the impact, both now visibly seething with anger. 1204 huffing angrily while Blue tried to reduce the pain they were experiencing— which did not work out for him.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorSUmgVD7n
"Seems like that's a yes to more pain..."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgj5nbdr1Q
After he said that, the fugitive stopped squirming around, but his breathing was heavier than ever before as they glared daggers at 1204. Soon the Infiltrator managed to successfully buckle the belt onto Blue, letting out a sigh of relief before going back to his usual evil essence with a grin on his face. And in the blink of an eye Blue was being electrocuted once again. It was even more painful— the most they've ever felt. What he did next to torture Blue was beating him up repeatedly. This felt like it went on forever to Blue, and so painful that the smallest tears began to form under their eyes, yet tried hard to hold them back along with still trying to numb the pain.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMaZwWb18p
With Red, her heading to Deceiver Headquarters in order to break Blue out
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQi1rUGv8lH
She knew where Blue would be taken to... if her suspicions were correct, he would be at the Deceiver HQ. There's a floor where they can lock up any residents who act out of the box, she knew that from when she was in training. It's a submerged level to the tower far down in the ground where disobeying subjects are sent to be starved, beaten and tortured— whatever it may take to make them turn back to "normal." To fit what Hemlock says is correct all while it is not. But after 30 minutes or so from Blue's disappearance would she reach the tall building that had a dark, evil look and feel just by being near it.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qug7H3zYi
The fugitive, her identity still hidden under Infiltrator gear, was able to slip through the entrance seamlessly before her eyes were met with Deceivers passing by. All were going about their work day, except this time around in a frantic manner with the General gone and dead. She was thinking... maybe she could fake her way into having access to Blue's cell by talking to the front desk. Up at said desk was a receptionist who looked overwhelmed too and didn't seem to appreciate Red who wearily stood in front of her.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbzWTOFng3z
"Ugh... what do you need?"
The middle aged woman said in a bit of a rude tone, exhausted from how busy things were at the moment.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3dwaRwkmdS
Red ignored taking the woman's tone to heart and spoke sternly but a small sliver of desperation and worry slipped through.
"I'm looking for what room Subject 1116 is in."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwo4BSrEu7
"You weren't told...? Ah, whatever. It's in room four on the very bottom of the building, but you should know that... now get out of my sight, Infiltrator."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnz5qnm6UhE
And so she did, heading for yet another crowded elevator. It seemed like no one had time to waste in a world like this, but Red's reason for being here was urgent and she needed to get to Blue as soon as possible.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI5KHT2JopI
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCeI9B8K8yP
Finally the elevator reached the bottom floor with Red the only one left in it as she walked past the open doors. She began to sneak around just in case there was any trouble up ahead.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZuMAEHf3UX

2....

4...!
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Wjg09mKgG
Red had now located the 4th cell and listened in closely, hearing illegible voices... or maybe just a singular voice. She couldn't pin point on who was talking but there were periodic sounds of pain. And there was only one possible person who'd be receiving that pain. That would be Blue, and she didn't like that. She couldn't bear to let this continue, swinging the door open to see two Infiltrators sitting at some futuristic computers with glass that allowed them to look into a padded room of shorts. It was a horrible sight to see as Red noticed it was 1204 abusing, torturing— her Blue.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMUdMhgVd9
Both of the Infiltrators nearest to her looked back at the noise to see who entered, looking utterly confused. One was about to speak before she jumped towards him, punching then snapping his neck.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPBFkdlqr8
"What the hell?!"
Yelled the other in shock before soon meeting his demise as Red slammed his head onto the desk enough times to make blood pour out his forehead.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK93fsEGlH2
All the ruckus caught 1204's attention, pausing the torture on Blue as he turned his back to the glass window. He was ultimately confused by the "infiltrator" standing in the middle between two dead people, those being the Infiltrators documenting 1116's "stay" in the padded room.
"What the hell is happing over there??"
Spoke the man who seemingly teleported to the glass, causing a bit of a spook in Red.
"Did you do this?? I only had two Infiltrator's sent to come down here and now they're dead."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8RBK9ObxcV
Quickly she mustered up the courage to speak to 1204 who looked pissed entirely as two dead Infiltrators lied at both sides of her. She neared the glass too, just as he did, and sternly gripped a the desk with one of her hands.
"Let. Me. Have. Him."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIObOxpeTcN
"What makes you think you deserve this scum all to yourself? I caught the rat. I torture the rat. Now go sit at the computer like the two others were doing, since you found it necessary to kill them both."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i5Lin5yJh
Red ignored his demand for her to listen and be the one typing things down on a computer.
"Didn't say I wanted to torture him, did I?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlhHbueqFY
"Then what's with the big entrance? What, do you personally know the traitor?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8Yan2eUZU
"Yes..."
She said with a slight melancholic, mostly angry voice as she turned her gaze to Blue on the floor who was struggling to look at her as their body hurt all over. The sympathy for Blue only grew in Red even more than it already had been every day since they've known each other. It was a painful sight to see.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMnvhHJ83a
1204 only scoffed, and while that happened... Blue had been trying his hardest to say something— anything to Red. They miss her contact so much, the warmth when they're together and the feeling they get from her touch. He was already craving this feeling again, an even more intense version of it.
"Pl-please... just... let me talk with her."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Yi12O0u3d
"What— ugh.......... Fine, so how about we make a deal? You can talk with the prisoner for a few minutes, just for tonight. And then you never show your face here again. Also, don't get into any funny business, both of you. I can only predict what an insane person like you would do with this moment you've been given."
He went to pull the fugitive up to a chair to be able to see the mysterious "Infiltrator" properly. They could barely keep their head up along with his eyes open, but he fought through the pain... just for Red. And all while trying to remember that he cannot let the bad guys take away the human nature in him. Then 1204 said one last thing — interrupting Blue's peculiar thoughts — before leaning against a wall where he could watch both of them.
"I'll be watching..."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyh2XUWo2E3
To be fully honest— Red was irked by 1204, trying to ignore his bone chilling presence as she began to speak to Blue.
"Hey... I'm glad to see you again."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPsCTCbVVLM
The sweetness and caring tone to Red's voice made Blue's heart have butterflies. But it was not the first time, so he was able to enjoy that feeling more than the past times as it came more natural to him again.
"Y-yeah... I missed you already."
He gave a weak smile to her with his mouth. Red hated how hurt they were.
"Well— being by you. Not separated by t- this uh, stupid glass... heh."
Blue's face was still weakly smiling but more of a goofier one now.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡntOG6V8jkS
She reply back to Blue with her voice more confident in getting him out of here while trying to keep it low to not tick off 1204.
"That's why I want to get you out of here. One way or another, I will."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUMFWKQriR
"Hey! That's it... who the fuck are you, dude??"
Yelled 1204 as he rapidly stomped towards the window where Blue and Red were, Blue panicking as 1204 grabbed him. Red immediately got up from her seat, the anger inside of her going overboard.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUf88XTXWm
"Fine! If that's what the monster in you wants then fine, I'll show you!"
Next thing done was her taking off her mask, seeing a slight surprise in 1204's expression that didn't fret from immediately changing to a smug one.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpzPq8vMOeh
This made the deranged man pause in dragging Blue away from the window.
"Ohh... that makes a lot of sense. Well... hello again, 0822. Seems like you got a hair cut."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQrro2iT1Bc
She didn't show how she hated him calling her that, only giving a more angrier, piercing stare as she held back her rage. Nor did she mention her hair cut given by Blue, she'd like to keep that knowledge within her mind.
"It's Red now."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5hns9XmJj
"What a silly name for you. I couldn't care less, 0822."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnzYttoHxIm
This finally ticked off Red, her anger boiling and bubbling like hot lava as she punched the glass that shattered completely as her fist made contact with it. In a blink of an eye she launched a second punch but this time at 1204. Just somehow her punch landed and made the Infiltrator's nose bleed.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9nAvbdrn3
He looked at the blood smeared on his hand and knew what he had to do. First he swung Blue out of his grip, the fugitive clashing into a wall away from both 1204 and Red. Second he quickly pushed a button on some gadget around his arm that signalled an alarm for the entire building as he made an announcement with it too.
"There is another fugitive in the building trying to break out Subject 1116, all Infiltrators must head to cell 4 or be on the look out for a girl with Red hair. The traitor is still in its cell so there's no need to worry where it is."
A loud siren noise went off in the building, amplifying the urgency of the interference with Subject 1116's containment.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCu2Ag6weYR
Red didn't know what to do— but her instincts made her check to make sure Blue wasn't dying or anything of that nature. Blue respected and loved that for her, but they knew she'd die if she didn't run. He whispered to her even though the pain in his body was trying to restrict them from doing so.
"Red... I'll be fine, save yourself. There's too many."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVsJT0e2urK
"O-okay... I love you. And I'll figure out a way to get you out. I will."
She whispered back but not as strained as Blue's voice.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn08abwUJRr
Running to an exit, she'd then be met with 1204 once again... but she only flinched before knocking the gun out of his hands, taking it for herself. Then she ran as fast as she could out of there after pushing him to the side, immediately met with bad news. The "too many." Loads of Infiltrator's coming from her right, all piling out of the multiple elevators implemented in the building. She looked for any possible exit, luckily finding a stairwell with an exit sign above it. Only bad thing is how much flights of stairs she's going to have to climb along with the constant state of worry that she'll get caught.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ555l2nFRvz
She was up a few levels now before trouble began to near, some Infiltrators coming from levels she has yet to reach. But that was no problem as she shot them dead and moved along her way, determined to reach the exit. At some points she had to shoot the ones behind here too, there being many close calls. It felt like years had passed before she finally reached an exit from the stairwell, alive and somehow only having a few bullets skim her Infiltrator uniform she was temporarily wearing. The bullet proof vest definitely saved her life in that compacted area as she ran as fast as she could up those stairs that seemed to get steeper the higher she'd gotten.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHkiH0uCml
Finally she could see the night sky once again, yet could not take in the small amount of beauty shining through the polluted city sky as she was in a rush. Where to? She wasn't sure as fear for what could be happening to Blue, and what she could have done to just get him out of there already, plagued her mind. But just somehow she easily lost the Infiltrators, having more knowledge of the forest given to her by... Blue. Going back to their hideout would be dangerous, the first place they'd look. So... she opted to resting in an abandoned grotto in the highlands of Hemlock. Over time, it was periodically overtaken by nature... shrubs and moss covering the floor and walls of the old cave. She hadn't thought where her four other friends were, or what they may be doing as of now, only having her lover on her mind.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX8hjrpvvMp
And for the time she spent sitting in a hidden area, Red fiddled with her fingers as anxiety and guilt settled into her head.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrlielk14B
With Green and the three others while they are trying to find Red, about 3 hours after her disappearance.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4fqFfSpLer
The darkness of midnight didn't help the group of four in finding where exactly Red was located, and some guesses were nerve racking for them all. Maybe Blue got locked up in Deceiver Headquarters and she headed there to find him, which means she probably already has. Being in the forest area of Hemlock ment they didn't know what was happening outside of it or anywhere else than where they stood at. The group reached a point in their search where they grown tired, now in search for a place to hideout for a couple hours to get some okay-ish rest.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1ImhZcozJ
"I'm getting tiredddd sib."
Childishly groaned Novu, mostly just to annoy Green who wasn't their usual self at the moment. But that also made them worried for the taller one, they didn't like seeing them so... conflicted.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOLdhEBB6F
"Will you— never mind.... Fine! we can search for somewhere to rest. Don't suppose any of you have ideas on where exactly."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbr4otIJnbz
Novu knew a place.
"Theres a grotto nearby, it's pretty hidden by trees, moss and whatever. I've gone in it before on my own for some peace and quiet from everything."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXCJfCfXLJN
Green was going to point out the fact Novu was going to places without another person with them. But this wasn't the time to be protective, and Novu still is alive... so they'll cut their sibling some slack.
"Sure, sounds safe enough. Seems like you'll be showing us the way, lil bro."
They offered Novu to be the leader of the group for now, extending their arm to their side, signalling that they may lead. Novu grumbled but accepted the offer as they began to head in the correct direction.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1g8EC0HuW
The Highlands were calm, thus the amount of Infiltrator's that'd been killed earlier. So the travel to the nearby cavern was relatively easy for them all to accomplish unharmed.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3OnKZVQgiR
"This is the grotto... you can go back to leadin' man."
They stepped out from being at front and stood next to their sibling.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafHv9v7HbD
"Thanks.... Alright guys, let's go in."
Said Green before entering the cave, their sibling along with Lee and Emma following being too.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ371av3wMsI
It was extremely dark in the cave, making the group almost trip on rocks bulging from the ground. It wasn't until maybe 5 minutes of exploring the cave before Green heard a noise— sobbing.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPH0Qhv6O6y
"Hold up—"
Said Green as they blocked the three from progressing further into the cave.
"There's someone crying... stay behind me."
They slowly neared the sobs as the group could collectively hear it now.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jBLvqCyGW
Soon it felt like the cries were right in front of them, yet the culprit of the sobs was still unknown at the moment. But then, maybe just a second later, Green seen Red hair and immediately recognised who it was crying.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFmyGuyVOLG
"...Red? What happened?!"
Said Green who rushed down to her side, already trying to comfort her although not knowing a single reason for why she's like this.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGmWkG1nOw
The sudden appearance of the group shocked her a bit, but eased only a little as Green sat by her.
"I-... I couldn't get Blue out, he could be in even more pain, or- or dead.."
Red could barely talk clearly as sobs took over.
"It was so stupid of me to think I could— I don't even know why I didn't kill 1204 the second I could! That idiot was torturing Blue."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCR1wjYCm4X
"What—? Um... shit, it's gonna be alright girl. The five of us can get Blue the heck outta there together, I promise. We can go now or wait a bit for you to feel a bit better before we do."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIOLfdXCEIc
"I'd like to wait..."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbD1XQKDyG
Green nodded softly with a caring but worried look on their face while the three others sat with Green and Red.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNR2EL0l4F5
Emma was the first to talk to Red, feeling both her and Lee could understand the emotions Red was experiencing.
"Green's right, it'll be okay... we'll get Blue out. But I truly understand your feelings too, both Lee and me. We know what it's like to be a couple in today's world. And even past the taboo thing love is considered now, we know Blue doesn't deserve the treatment he's getting— no one does. But of course, except the ones causing this pain."
Her voice was extremely calming and sweet to Red. It was nice, Emma then speaking again.
"We'll get Blue out alive and everything will work out in the end... from what I know, you've come so far. All of us can't just stop here because it seems like we've failed. We just have to keep on trying."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1L6Spifk4h
Red lifted her head up, staring at the ground as she realised something.
"You're right..."
Then she held her head up more, scanning her eyes across the three others next to her before standing up suddenly.
"Let's go save them. I know what cell he's being kept in at Deceivers HQ."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqpnsfmBq2
Green made a sudden move, stopping Red from walking to the exit of the grotto.
"Wait— I actually think the group should get some rest, and it seems like they won't... kill Blue, just torture him. So surely we have time to plan out our attack, and get Blue out of there."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvW5Qfg6Ibu
"W-what... but... I-... we don't even know what's happing to him right now! He could be dead for all we know. It doesn't sound like you guys truely care about him like I do. Maybe I should just try again. By myself."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXNRQaKp1SA
But Green didn't let that pass, their voice sterner but also more desperate and sad.
"No, no. You can't do that, Red... it's too unsafe, they'll kill you if you interfere without us. We need to make a plan, and we do want to save him... but also the group as a whole. I don't want any of us to die, it'd be too much for me. All of you help make this group what it is now, and I love it."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLdQSlzcZQh
The conflicted girl hesitated for a moment, unable to look Green in the eyes as tears were building up under hers. Her voice was low when she spoke
"O-okay..."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTWn8CKvjA
"Okay. Now let's find somewhere to sleep for the night where we'll be well hidden."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaTxBhgjrX
The group of five then found a good spot, all eventually slipping into a deep slumber.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZLNEQ1tzE
November 9, 8 A.M.— about 8 hours of sleep
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0kYtFh64s
Green finally woke up to see Red up already, looking worried as ever while nudged in a corner of the cave. They could only guess this was most likely because the condition Blue might be in.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY19EGrrRvQ
Red's best friend couldn't let her be down like this, feeling like the choice of getting rest was bad but also still unsure if so.
"Red... what's up? We could talk for a bit until we get the rest up. It seems to be morning now."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTuIl6bzZ0
"Okay... but I don't... I don't really know what's up with me. Everything just... feels like a blur lately, like I don't have a choice... as if my body's on autopilot—"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7tNzopxBZm
"I feel that too at times, in fact we all do in this world we're forced to live in. It's bad, and we all want to change it, right? I'm sorry I decided we all take a rest, but i felt it's better to take things slow and not rush into things without prior thinking. Like saying the wrong thing to someone, but not meaning what you said as ya just— blurted it out."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeb382pE34k
"Yeah... we'd get a better outcome than I had. A-and it's the past... I can make up for it with us getting him out of there."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqY7b9EwrHt
"Exactly!"
Their tone was back to their friendly, mood boosting tone they would usually have. But they instinctively shoved Red's arm with their elbow in a friendly way, apologising after doing so.
"Ah— sorry, just happy 'cause I know we're gonna ace this shit. Oh— alsoooo I have something that might cheer ya up some more!"
They handed Red Blue's knife they'd grabbed ahold of back when Blue was abducted by the Infiltrator's.
"They must have dropped it, you should keep ahold of it till you can give him it when we break him free."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQWR9gssRdO
"Oh... wow, thanks. I'll keep it safe."
Said Red who held it just tight enough to not fall from her grip, looking at it with a blank expression. She didn't know how to feel about this, but was happy that it's safe... as it does mean a lot to Blue, she knows that. He IS very good with knifes clearly, her hair would know that.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLiaG2KyZrn
"No problemo, Imma go wake the others up now."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqejvZwwLAg
Red turned back to a gloomy state as Green returned to the others, staring at the ground but also Blue's knife as her overthinking thoughts returned. After the whole group was up, they soon began to plan and brainstorm after Red eventually joined back with them.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2U1tCxlszX
11th of November 2030, 2 days later, late at night.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJOLhcFcah
Over the past two days they struggled to get Blue out of there as security was higher than ever now, it seeming like it didn't matter how much Infiltrators and Deceivers they've collectively killed. They'll always come back stronger. Luckily, through all their failed attempts over these two days, the other's identities were not blown. Only Red was the one who've they found out, but she could still easily blend in with the other four as all their faces would be covered. The groups new plan they're now enacting out is where both Emma and Lee stand on guard outside, blending in with the other Infiltrator's, and to be ready to kill any that are in pursuit of the group. Then the three others — that being Red as well as Green who brought along their sibling — were going to retrieve Blue from their cell.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF59tpElnMz
The group safely reached the floor that contained each individual containment room, searching for the fourth one. Upon finding the room, it seemed that 1204 had been somewhere else as of now. This was perfect, or not... as they were planning to kill the bastard immediately when he is in the groups sight. But it didn't matter as Red just wanted to be with Blue again as the last few days have been rough without him by her side. She busted into the room, surprising a worn out Blue sitting back against a corner, looking more beat up than when she last saw him.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHQZdEVMAZ
The girl ran over to him, crouching down to the boys level as they looked in no good shape to standing up just yet. Green and Novu would watch for any potential enemies nearing the cell.
"Oh... Blue, what have they been doing to you."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6z5UxuCaE
It took a couple seconds for him to find his words, their strained voice not helping. But he did sound vengeful, bitter that 1204 tortured them with few to no problems.
"That idiot... just kept— punching me!"
They were vicious.
"I can't... I just can't remember what else; I could... barely see what was happing. I- I tried to fight back, but he- he had others hold me down... a- and now I just feel so... weak. It’s like I- I’m nothing without my knife…"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsJIPBHdxvM
Red hated the sight of them so disheveled like this, wanting to bring as much comfort to him as possible in the moment. She hesitated with acting upon this wrath that Blue was be feeling, quickly deciding to head in for a hug. Her body continued this embrace as she spoke reassuringly to them.
"Shoot— good thing you mentioned your knife, Green found it on the ground when you were, well, taken. So, I think this belongs to you.”
Quaintly said Red as she handed Blue his knife back.
“And you’re not weak, Blue. In fact you've helped me become stronger. And even if you feel weak, just think how much they've all hurt you, but you're still alive. Well, at least I think that's pretty strong of you..."

"I guess that is strong me, ha... thanks, Red. For what you said—and keeping ahold of my knife for me."
Blue then reciprocated the embrace, making it tighter now as his arms pulled her in closer.

The hug went on for only a second or so before it had been interrupted by Green informing the two in the cell still. Both Green and Novu had been fending off any Infiltrator's coming their way. The green locked fugitive had spoke while continuing to kill any nearing threats.
"Guys... I think we should get out of here soon. There's going to be too much for the two of us to handle the longer we stay."

The warning from Green broke up the tight embrace between Blue and Red. But before she would help Blue stand and all that, she gave him a quick kiss on the lips, hoping it would make him feel better. She couldn't tell as Blue was silent, most likely from the pain, but she didn't need to know—only wanting to break her love free from this cage. This lovingly moment between the two was now finished completely as Red helped Blue in getting on their feet.

"Do you think you can walk by yourself, or do you need help?"
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkT5ZQgoVC5
"I c-can manage it..."
Said Blue, not wanting Red to worry about him so much. But that was hard to accomplish, although not like he didn't appreciate it. It was nice.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGM0ImZIdOo
"Okay..."
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVG4WPWYPo
Blue then positioned their posture to be more comfortable and straight before trying to stand up next, managing to do so first try. Although, there was just a bit of unsteadiness to his legs... but only for a moment, then beginning to walk towards the two siblings.

Green turned back to the two who were now near them and their sibling.
"You both ready now?"
There was an urgency to their voice this time as danger closed in.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oo1QO8iDY
"Yes—"
Said Red who could tell they needed to hurry out now. With her confirmation, the group of four then headed for the stairs she'd went up when she tried breaking Blue out herself.

Compared to last time- there were way more Infiltrators getting in the way, making it more complicated for them to escape with ease. But this time around, there was maybe three, or two, times the fire power to the escapees. Red was at the back of the group, making sure that Blue keeps up with the rest as she worried their body would be too weak to go up so many flights of stairs. And she was true about this, having to help support him with the two now being in the middle of the group, between the siblings. Green would be at the very front while Novu was at the back, asking for help from Red with killing when it gets to be too much.

Then finally the group reached the exit, only met with even more Infiltrator's waiting outside for them. But when Lee and Emma noticed the fours entrance through the exit door is when they unleashed their part of the plan; obliterating enough Infiltrator's to make sure none of their friends are further injured from the state they were in as they exited the building. The couple was successful at eliminating many of the Infiltrators in the area, although having to fend off some that came close in combat. This was a huge help for the others as Red was able to focus more on making sure Blue was doing alright, and it already seemed like he was regaining his strength! Everything was going to plan- except 1204 still being alive, that is, even though it seemed like that vengeful Infiltrator called it quiets and simply disappeared- they did not.

Emerging from the door, which the group had exited from not too long ago, was 1204, infuriated as ever. He just couldn't let the fugitive have a smooth escape, or even escape at all, from being tortured. The deranged, disheveled man jolted through the sparse crowd of Infiltrator's, dodging all of Emma and Lee's gun shells dashing towards his body. He also had a gun on him, a tranquilliser to be exact — and was ready to knock the prisoner out again. And to his luck, Blue and Red weren't as caught up with Green and Novu anymore.

Blue was struggling to move forward— his legs and body tired as the pain remained in their whole body. Red was trying her best to keep him on his legs, but he started to grow sick; the constant punching received by 1204 along with being electrocuted was not a good mix with running as fast as he could. One would consider all the bruises along Blue's body to look natural, ment to be there — a pattern of many dark and nasty bruises scattered across their delicate skin. Worry only rose from here in Red as she continued pushing through with him in order to keep him safe— anything to keep him safe.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRi6yxV8diR
And almost coincidentally, as Red looked back, 1204 was ready to shoot at them — Blue — which she couldn't allow, not at all.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NsbVPi0JP
Red urgently moved behind her boyfriend as the tranquilliser rushed towards the back of Blue.
"Watch out—!"
Red said before the sedative bullet syringed nearly right into her heart, her body colliding with the hard ground- causing her to pass out almost immediately. Her head beginning to trickle blood due to the sudden, extreme impact.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOLyLnvbqc
"Red?! Ah s-shit, why would you— no..."
Said Blue in fear of the sight upon them as they'd turn to look behind him, down at Red's body lying there. But then, after looking back up and straight forwards, they noticed 1204 was getting way too close for comfort and he ran with all his might, immediately regretting their fight or flight decision of leaving Red behind. Not even thinking to use his knife he just got back! What an idiot he viewed himself as while running away. But he just has to see her again... someday. He has to.

As Blue joined the group again, almost collapsing as their breaths were hysterical, Green was quick to notice Red's absence.
"Blue- where's Red?? Wasn't she helping you in getting out of there."
Now Green was facing the same fear as Blue while looking at him who was now tiredly lying on the ground, panting endlessly after the sudden adrenaline rush.
61Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpF4MUSPjKc
Blue managed to speak, only for it to come out hoarse while looking completely wrecked by his mistakes that all collectively bombarded his mind as reality set in.
"Th-they got Red..."
