Ketsu heard the banging of the door. He was confused. Would the hunters really be that stupid? Or are they planning a little trick of their own? "Everyone stay calm and stay here." He walked out of the shadows and to the door.
Slowly opening it, he peeked his head out and looked around. He didn't see anybody there. Plus if there were anybody close, Luna would have told him. He looked back. "The hunters are--" He swung the door open but stopped when it came back and hit him. He fell and looked out again. That's when he saw the bloody body lying there. "Somebody! Help me!" He yelled as he dragged the girl inside.
Darklight grinned seeing the target move on the screen that Artemis held. "Perfect. They'll lead us to the others and then we'll get them." He was ignoring the fact that the fan Sup was following them.
Takai took a step towards where Ketsu was, but quickly stopped herself. "The promise." She clenched her hands into fists and looked at the ground.

Luna stayed where she was, it seemed odd for a Sup to make it past the Hunters without them killing her. She was suspicious, not of the girl, but of the Hunters. She stepped back further into the shadows and closed her eyes. Her eyes glowed purple once more and she tried her new skill out.
There. There were the Hunters. She could see that one of the Hunters was holding something. Her vision was merely of shadows, so she couldn't see the details, but... what was it? Why did the Hunter stare at it so intently? She tried to look more and accidentally brushed against the Hunter's mind.
Shoot! He would have noticed that definitely!
Luna hesitated, not sure whether to retreat or to keep watching incase he did something that indicated what he was holding.

Darklight looked up in shock. He looked at Artemis. "I'm fine. Just--nothing." He looked around, then at the Sup girl and glared. Was she doing something? But he just ignored it and looked back to Artemis.
Ketsu stepped back as others came to him and picked the girl up and placed her on a table to the side. One of the healing Sups looked to Ketsu as he walked up to them. "She's still breathing, but will be hard to heal her."
"Kill her."
"Sir?" Everyone was looking at him now.
"Kill her. End her suffuring. The hunters are setting a trap, using her as bait." Many of them were still confused. "Do you really think that they would keep one alive? Kill her peacefully." He walked away and they did as he said.
He walked over to Luna once he found her in the crowd. "Did you see anything that might reveal what they're doing?" He asked, seeing her eyes were a different color.

"Assuming that you already know the girl was bait, nothing really. They're trying to find our other hide out though," Luna answered without opening her eyes. She sighed and put a hand through her hand.
"Ketsu, we can't just stay here at a standstill like this. The Hunters... aren't just going to give up. Isn't there anything we can do to make them leave?" she asked. She sighed once more and shaped her hand into a fist by her side. "If only I could get close to one without either of them attacking me, I'd be able to erase part of their memories so that they wouldn't remember where the meeting was, or that there was one today at all..."
She felt almost helpless just standing there and waiting for the Hunters to make their move. So many Sups had died... and maybe if she had hurried to the meeting, she might have been able to prevent it with the rumor that her friend had told her. If only...

"Luna. It's not your falt." He paused seeing she was confused. "I know that look in your eyes. Even if you could warn us about the hunters, we would have still had the meeting. And you're right." He looked at the group. "We need to be heading to the other base. Everyone start heading for the tunnels. Team A, stay with me."
Everyone hurried down the passage into the tunnels, leaving about 8 people left. Ketsu looked at them. He saw Sarah, Rai, Rei, and the human girl still standing there. "Go."
Rei crossed her arms. "Not my falt this Human is so slow." "Besides. We're staying with you. We got added, remember?" Rai added.
Ketsu sighed. "Right. Nara you really should go with the others. What we're doing isn't safe--"
"What are we doing?" Rei asked.
"We're leading the hunters away." He looked to Luna. "The tunnels is like a labrith and have many different ways, but only one will lead to the other base. Only higher Sups know the way." He looked back to the others, seeing that the other 3 had gathered around him. He gestured for the others to come over too. "We will be going down the way that leads to a back ally. It's a quick shot to the town hall. The Mayor's used to be a base, until we got a Human Mayor. But the room is still there. It will be large enough to fight, which I pursume will happen."
"I'll take Nara to the base." Rai quickly said. Ketsu looked to her and nodded. "Fine. Sarah, Luna, you may go with Rai if you want. I will not force you to do either."
The healer then walked over to the group. "She is dead. I sensed some kind of metal inside of her arm."
"Tracker." Another said, the one who could control elements and created the shadow earlier.
"Can you find it and get it out? It would be rude to carry her with us, and we will not damage her body anymore than it already has."
The healer nodded. And she and the other man went to do so.
"Rai. Can you make a stop to barry our friend?" Ketsu asked.
"Of course." She grabbed Nara's arm and started walking to the passage.
Ketsu looked to the rest. "Okay. We'll leave once they get the tracker out."

Luna opened her eyes, glowing with a soft purple light, and grinned at Ketsu. "Of course I'll help lead them astray. Hiding just isn't my thing you know? I'd rather help," she said smiling.
She looked over to where the healer went and tilted her head to the side. "I could help them get the tracker out, if they need assistance," she offered not exactly sure what to do while waiting. She quickly checked the Hunters and found them to be in the same spot. Nothing happening with them, good.

Ketsu nodded. "Tis fine. I need to talk with the others anyway." He walked away, the other two following him.
The healer looked up as Luna walked over to them. She smiled. "You're a Psychic, correct? I'm Heathar, and this is Ato." She gestured to the tall man standing next to her. He looked to Luna and nodded his head.
"The tracker is in the left arm in the upper half, but we can't tell exactly or how deep."
Ketsu turned to the other two Sups and smiled. "Nick, how are you handling?"
The boy standing to the right of Ketsu, Nick, looked at his hands and sighed. "The full moon's coming soon, but I think I'll be able to stay in control for a while."
"This is gonna be an intense battle. Are you sure?"
"Yeah. I'll be fine--"
"And if not, I'll just knock 'im out." Laughed the girl, shorter than both of them and seemed to be only 10 or so, even though she was in her twenties.
Nick laughed too. He was a werecat, form of a panthar. And the girl, Nausica, a Shifter, form of a Sabar-toothed Tiger. They were two of the best fighters possible, including Ato, Heathar, and Ketsu. Rai and Rei were also very good fighters, chosen mainly because of who their parents were-two of the best fighters known. Killed many hunters, but faced their's soon enough. He figured that Sarah and Luna would be great additions to his group.
Ketsu looked at Nick and Nausica. "Okay, then. You are released. Go meet the other girls. Get to know them." He smiled and walked away.

Luna nodded and looked at the arm carefully. She tilted her head to the side and thought back to how far deep it must go to not be able to be detected that easily. Well, she didn't want to necessarily just yank it out, but the objects that she had a hold over, unless she controled otherwise, would glow the same color as her eyes. So, if she took a hold of the tracker, and allowed the glow to be there, she could find out how deep it was.
"I could probably just pull it out mentally, but I don't think that's the way that's best," Luna said with a wry smile. "I can probably tell how deeply it's buried though, so I'll do that."
Her eyes started glowing once more and she quickly located the tracker inside the arm. She was somehow able to see inside of the arm and noticed the shadowy figure of the tracker. "About 4 cm deep," she said and pointed to where she could see that it was directly above from. "Do you need any other help?"

"The tracker's moving, but slightly. Which means they've figured out our plan..." Artemis said with a sigh. She pulled out a package and smirked, "We could blow the place up..."
Sarah looked at the door. She felt that at any moment, they would brake through the door, weapons out and ready to kill. Goosebumps formed on her skin as she thought of it and shook the feeling off and looked back at the group. She was sitting on the ground, waiting, and letting her claws (which she has shifted from her fingers) dig into the ground. She wanted to shift and stalk. She could take just one hunter down as long as she had the advantage.

Yuuki had been playing with a ball of snow that she had generated, waiting for the hunters to realize that their plan wasn't working. at Artemis' words, the snow feel to the ground and she smacked him on the head. "What are you, stupid?" she sighed. "Blowing up the place won't do anything. You're dealing with Sups, not humans. They can plan in an instant and would escape too quickly for any of them to get injured. You'll just lose their location in the chaos."
"Of course they figured out your plan. Throwing a random girl at their door? They were probably wondering why and figured it was a trap." she turned to Darklight. "Please tell me Artemis isn't the smart one in this team of idiots. I may just join the other side yet."

"Heathar!" Ketsu yelled as he walked over to the small group trying to remove the tracker. All of them looked up at him. "Don't bother. I flew around to see if I could see them. I found them and they've figured out what we were doing."
"Isn't that bad?" Ato asked, his deep voice echoing through the mostly empty building.
"No."
Before he could say anymore, Heathar dropped the cutting knives and spoke up. "Then we should leave to the other base."
Ketsu sighed. "We should. The others will be needing us. Also we'll need to figure out a plan for a quick escape if needed."
"What?" Rei over heard and ran over, Nick and Nausica following behind.
Ketsu looked at them. "There was another one there with the other two hunters. A Sup. A female Witch. Had duel fans--"
Rei's eyes got wide. What!? She is with the hunters. I'm gonna kill her with my own two hands...
"I didn't reconize her, so I don't think that she'll know where the base is. But she might, and we have to be ready."
All of them agreed.
"Then shall we leave?" Yelled a voice in the distance. Everyone looked to see who it was.
"Rai? What are you still doing here!?"
Rai laughed. "I find that your conversasions are very interesting." She laughed again.
Ketsu smiled and noticed that the human wasn't with her. "Where's Nara?"
"Don't worry. She's down there waiting. So? Are we going?" She then jump down the passage to meet Nara. "They're coming soon. Then we'll all leave for the base."
"Okay. Let's go!"

(Oops! Forgot Darklight...)
Darklight crossed his arms and smiled to Yuuki. "You're a Sup, shouldn't you know where their base is?" He took a glance to Artemis and sighed. She really isn't that smart. I was just going along to see if it would actually work. How long has she been hunting Sups?

Nara sat in the tunnel nervously. She really wished those twins hadn't left her alone. After this past night, she realized how much she should have taken that self-defense class instead of the course in html coding... She put her headphones over her ears and turned up the volume. the least she could do was block out the sound of the world.
Yuuki levitated the snow on the ground back into her palm and started to morph it into different shapes. "So, what's your plan now?"

Darklight scowled. "Don't you know where the base is?"
Ketsu jumped down the passage, the others behind him. He quickly gave a head count and smiled. "We're all here." And he started walking down the tunnel.
Rai stayed behind seeing that Nara didn't notice them there. "Hello? Nara?" She waved her hands around and tapped her, trying to get her attention.
Rei saw this and laughed, walking over to them. "This works so much better--" She pulled each headphone away from Nara's ears and then let go, making them hit her ears hard.
Nick laughed, seeing this, but stopped when Nausica punched him. "Ow. When could you punch like that?"
"Ever since I've known you. I've just never had a reason to punch you." She smiled, grabbed his hand and walked faster.
Ketsu looked back. "Hurry up you three!"

"Nope." Yuuki replied. She had a few leads of where it was, but she wasn't going to tell them that. They'd have to convince her somehow to.
"OW. That HURT, you bastards!" Nara growled at them, pulling the headphones off and rubbing an ear. "If I could, I would kill you..." she muttered.
"So where is this new safe house anyway?" she grumbled, curious about where they had decided the location.
