Night 52: Rec Field

[tsunagari]

[from here]This was already further than Sai had gotten the past couple nights, which was saying something. It was getting over the wall that would be the real test, though. The actual act of scaling the brick would be simple, but the night had an odd way of ending before he'd gotten beyond that point. Hopefully the same wouldn't hold true this

Move. Move move move they had to move now. Sai was immediately stashing the ink and brush back in his pocket and making a run for the wall. He was light headed after that use of chakra, and scaling the wall wasn't going to help things any, but it was the fastest method he had.

He hit the side and kept running up, chakra keeping his feet from sliding back down the side. He released the energy partway up, if only to conserve some for later, grabbing the top to pull himself up the rest of the way. Then he was leaning over the side with a hand out, ready to help Naruto do the same. This would have to take place in an instant, as those ink creatures wouldn't hold the man off for more than a few seconds.

Adrenaline coursed through him, urgency allowing him to ignore the weariness caused by the use of his techniques. If getting over the wall didn't cause them to shake this patient, then they were in trouble. He had to hope that the situation was similar to the one he'd been in before. Banking on that was risky, but there was little else they could do.

Meanwhile, the beastly android's focus was on the calligraphy-like creatures that paced around him. Smiling, Sechs simply stood his ground; his upper back slouched into a predatory posture while his eye glowed behind his wild hair. Suddenly, one of the lions swiped an inky paw at the Replica, but what happened next was nothing but a violent blur.

"RAH!!" Sechs' blade swung through the air with the velocity of a lightning strike, its teeth chopped and sliced through the lions at dozens of angles within a matter of seconds. The lions didn't even have a chance to touch their target or even flinch; their ethereal forms instantly fell apart and evaporated into the cool air. All that was left was a circle of scars dug into the earth with the blade-wielding Replica standing in the center.

Once the dust had cleared, Sechs shook his messy head with an arrogant smirk. It was a shame that the kid's pets barely lasted for a decent fight. "HAH! Is that all you got kid?!" he crowed, stepping out of the small circle of destruction as both he and the doll perched on his shoulder glared around for the trespassing patients. If that was the best they could throw at him, then it was time they got out of his face and made room for a more worthy adversary...

Yet the patient who summoned the creatures was gone, even the one with the spiky hair wasn't to be seen. It was only when a tap on the shoulder from the robot doll did Sechs turn towards the far end of the field to spot the two youth scrambling over the wall!

"HEY!!" Sechs roared, his mean-spirited grin now an enraged frown, "YOU DAMN LITTLE CHICKEN SHITS!!" he shouted again, bringing forth another ball of plasma into his fist, he wasn't going to let them get away unscathed! "GET YOUR COWARD ASSES BACK HERE OR I'LL BURN 'EM RIGHT OFF!"

The infuriated android threw his arm forward, sending clusters of silver spheres of flaming plasma streaking towards the towering wall. The molten projectiles screamed through the air before exploding near their targets, creating blinding flashes and droplets of flames to rain down to the earth. Some whistled right over the two escaping patient's heads, while others crashed into the wall just below them, leaving scorched holes in their wake. Yet to the Replica's growing rage, the plasma balls just barely missed the prisoners...
