[Stands alone on the side of the road, arms crossed as she keeps a lookout for her rescue team. She hasn't run into any monsters yet so why try to hide?]

[scientize]

[Raises an eyebrow at the firetruck barreling towards her down the street. She hadn't quite expected a rescue like that exactly.]

[With the cab of the firetruck getting relatively crowded, Akihiko has opted to hang half of his body out the window of the passenger side, keeping an eye out on the road.]

[He turns his head to call up to the roof]

Snake -- have you located anyone yet?

[stealsyourstuff]

*after getting away from the monsters, Legault's first order of business had been to get the hell away from Espoir and find a safe haven. Nothing had appealed to him due to the general wear of the buildings, so he was just... wandering down the side of the road, daggers and sword at the ready in case something came and attacked him. The fire truck coming down the road worried him a bit at first, since it was some kind of gigantic metal thing, but since it had people on it it didn't seem like a bad idea to try to get on board, and he waved to it*

Excuse me! Room for one more? I promise I won't steal anything important~!

[stealsyourstuff]

*Although he's a bit confused by someone recognizing him, it's not as though it's something that never happens- He's on wanted posters all over Elibe, after all*

...I guess my reputation got here before I did, huh? ♥

[phantomfenton]

*Is just walking along the side of the road, dragging his heels and keeping a wary eye out for monsters.

*Looks up when he hears the firetruck siren, but simply lowers his head again and steps off the road and out of the way. The firetruck can go right past--after all, Danny has no intention of waving them down.*

[Raiden is keeping a lookout atop the fire truck, as usual, his visor fitted over his face and vision switched to infrared. His determined gaze passes over Danny and looks off into the vicinity, searching the scenery--

And suddenly, he bends over, taps on the front windshield and signals Gale to slow down.

Raiden pulls his blade from his sheath and leaps off the side of the fire truck, taking his place beside Danny. He was alert, listening to his surroundings, his lips set in a thin, grim line.]

Stay behind me.

[phantomfenton]

*Had stopped when the firetruck slowed. When Raiden jumps off and draws level with him, Danny turns uneasily back to the surrounding area, eyes searching for anything obvious.*

What's out there? *Takes a reluctant step back, and then another, until he's more or less behind the cyborg. For someone who's being protected against a potentially serious threat, he doesn't look very anxious--just worried. Tense.*

[Raiden made a motion for Danny to stay back and be quiet. Very carefully, he tilted his head, keeping his ears open and well-attuned to his environment.

In the distance, Danny might hear a rumbling, slowly growing louder and louder and louder. A mound of dirt was moving closer to them, the ground shaking with the force of the something beneath the streets.

Raiden tightly gripped his blade.

It was the mark of a sandworm burrowing under the ground, and in mere seconds it would be upon them. When it was only a few yards away, Raiden leaped high in the air, the worm bursting from beneath the the pavement, and landed square on its back.

At least from up here, he could plunge a blade deeply through the monster's back.]

[despairteacher]

[A mummyNozomu, covered in bandages, was running, with a mob of spiders not far behind. The more he ran away from them, the more spiders he'd run into! There! just one more burst from a wall like it was from a cheap monster movie!

Up ahead was a crossroad, but a firetruck was speeding down the intersecting path. The best choice of waiting for it to pass before scrambling through was foolish. All he could do is pick his death. The firetruck or the spiders?]

I PICK THE LESSER EVIL!

[He runs down the road]

[despairteacher]

BLAG! GUH! PAH!

[The force sent the teacher painfully tumbling a short distance. He pops back up quickly enough, but his head wound has reopened.]

I'M IN DESPAIR! CHOICES THAT DON'T AFFECT THE OUTCOME HAS LEFT ME IN DESPAIR! Even if-

[Oh right, the spiders are still following. Nozomu interrupts himself to run across.]

[subsisted]

[Raiden was alert during the initial brake-and-strike, his heels and hands firmly gripping the edge of the truck. He wasn't interested in getting thrown from their search and rescue mission.

He managed to have a level enough head and strong enough grip to twist back and glimpse what the hell they managed to hit - and if his peripheral vision during the crash was any indication, it wasn't anything good.

... Still. When he saw the man scramble back to his feet with a gushing head wound, dashing across the road to keep running from the spiders...

...]

--I'll take the monsters, Snake.

We have to stop him before he loses consciousness.

[His visor snapped into place. He drew his sword and leapt off the now-halted fire engine, ready to take out yet another batch of beasts.]
