Four groaned, stepping upwards. He thought to himself that this was exactly why he wasn't getting his mechanical butt up here, but didn't say it. Not that it mattered. He pressed his hooves against the concrete, digging them into any small gaps in the surface, and eventually hoisted his way up, coming up by Thirteen. He sighed.

"Look...I'm sorry, but I just don't see this working...the odds are stacked against us..."

[Lavender_Stripes]

"If you trust me, you'll give us a chance...I can't leave you behind, Four." She looked sad, almost to the point of tears. She was beginning to become disheveled with worry, and she couldn't contain her tears any longer. "We have a chance to be our own! We can make something of ourselves...we can do what we want once we get out! But we have to make it, first! If you stayed here, you'd...most likely die."

[Fitzwilliam Jinglesworth]

Four looked down at the ground and sighed, then glanced back up at Thirteen. It pained him to see her sad, no matter what he thought. He frowned, reaching around to hug her.

"Look...I'm sorry...I just-" He stopped himself before continuing, not wanting to upset his fellow subject any further.

Three made certain to grab Nine decently in his arms as he spread the wings and jumped with him. The extra weight brought him down quicker than he wanted too and he ended up hitting the ground with  his right foot a bit too much, growling in pain from the fall. He bit through it and let the first Subject out. Thankyfully for him, there were bushes nearby alongside a street with a few buildings. Not many people were about, so chances of someone seeing this were slim to say the least.
 
The cat moved again, hoisting himself in the air as he felt the pain in his foot growling a bit larger as he got near Thirteen. "Want me to help you get down?... Don't worry Thirteen, I'll make sure I get the others out as well!"

[Lavender_Stripes]

Thirteen shook her head at Three, looking to Four. "Help Four. I can get down on my own." The girl readied herself, her hands between her feet and flat against the wall. She dived off the edge, arms outstretched to catch herself, and roll over her head in an expert move. Well, almost. She tumbled more than anything, but still managed to make it out alright.

Alex crashed down on his bundle of clothes with a thud and looked over to Three who seemed to have sprained his ankle and bit his lip before looking back and touching the wall softly.

"I'm over.. my dream won't come true, not today it won't."

Sighing deeply with relief the fox hugged his knees and smiled then started to shake as he cried tears of joy at the sweet revelation that he would never have to live in that place of nightmares ever again.

Three looked at the other who had begun to climb the wall himself. "I can't pik him up like that... I already got an injury on my foot from Nine!" The cat said, not enjoying this. Normal biological furrs were heavy enough, but the mechanical ones were a completely different league. Even with the whole light metal usage and what not they used in those people.

[Fitzwilliam Jinglesworth]

Four shook his head and got ready to tell the others to leave him behind, but then caught himself. He shook his head, not wanting to hurt Thirteen any more. He looked down at the side of the wall beneath him.

"Look...I can try to climb down after you..."

[Lavender_Stripes]

Thirteen positioned herself under him. "I'll catch you! Jump!" She braced herself the best she could, thinking to herself that the boy was a goat. He could just jump himself, but she wanted to prevent any injury if she could. The cold was starting to get to her, as she began to tremble to herself once again.

[Suzumibachii]

Stepping into the cold One looked around at the others already making their escape, her breathing was still rather heavy as each breath created a small puff infront of her face. Looking at Two she thought for a second. They didnt have much time, as it stood the power would kick back in less than two minutes. "Any ideas Two?" She was thinking of using her toxic status to help but not sure if there was enough time for it to work.

Five had gotten to his room and say on his bed, just reflecting for a moment and started realizing just how rediculous this all seemed. The humans weren't as stupid as what everyone was making them out to be. They always take every precaution to ensure everyone's safety. Or at least their own. Nothing like this had ever happened before, something so major it shuts down the whole facilities power...at least that Five  could remember. Something just didn't seem right here..

It wasn't long, however, before he suddenly found himself sitting in darkness with just a few emergency lights dimly lighting up the room. He didn't waste any time with more questions and thoughts, and treated this as a real emergency. Despite his usual preference of clothing, he didn't care to stand out in the cold for who knows how long, so he quickly threw on a shirt, boots, and a trench coat, and made his way out of his room and down the halls. He walked at a quick pace, but upon seeing One and Two fly by an intersection of hallways he was approaching, he decided it'd be a good idea to at least keep up. He made it out the front doors just a few seconds after they had, just in time to catch One asking Two if he had any ideas. "Yeah Two, got any ideas?" Five asked in a mocking tone as he walked past them from between the two of them, intentionally bumping both aside as he passed. He spun around to face Two while stepping backwards and put a hand on his forehead, tilting his head back a bit as if he just remembered something . "Oh wait, right, it's probably a secret, isn't it? My bad.." Five spun back around and headed over to the rest of the group, each scrambling over the wall in their own choice ways.

[Fitzwilliam Jinglesworth]

"All right...here goes nothing, then."

Four sucked in the cold air and pressed his hooves against the wall, then sprung forward. He closed his eyes, not daring to look down. Wherever he went, he wouldn't know, but hopefully he'd still be in one piece when he landed.

 Two clenched his jaw in frustration at both the lagging evacuation as much as Five’s petty remark, though he didn’t fire back with a retort of his own.  Time was precious as it stood and there was none to spare for squabbling until everybody was over.  Instead he moved towards Five as he stood next to the wall looking for a way over.  “Help me get One over.”  He said in a tone that was not a command, but rather stating something that needed to get done.  “Go like this.”  Two said while demonstrating the placement of his arms where one hand gripped his forearm at a right angle leaving the other reaching forward.  When Five eventually did the same, Two used his free hand to grip the forearm and Five mirrored the gesture until their interlocked arms formed a solid square.
 
Two crouched down and lowered their arms before calling out.  “One, stand on our arms and use our shoulders for support.  On the count of three we’re going to throw you up high enough to reach the top and pull yourself over.”  As One worked on getting herself in position, Two continued to give instructions.  “You have a minute to get over the top before the power comes back on; so don’t linger on the wall any longer than you have to.  Ready?  One.  Two.  Three!”  With a combined grunt of effort, Two and Five hurled One’s lithe frame high enough to reach the wall’s edge and begin pulling herself up.
 
There was a shout off in the distance and Two looked in that direction to see that two guards had spotted them and were rushing forward with their tranquilizer guns drawn.  They still had a few moments before they would be in range to make a targeted shot with darts; enough time to get one more over.  “Three, I need your help!”  Two called out, figuring the feline was just over the wall.  “Get Five over then rendezvous with me at the East Wall.  Everybody else, head towards the tree line and keep going; once the power comes back on they will start mounting a chase.”
 
With that, Two took off away from the wall to dash between some buildings causing the guards to divide their attention as one pursued the fox while the other remained focused on the skunk, rapidly moving closer to firing range.

"Got it." One said as she got into position on Five and Two's arms, hearing the count down she crouched a little her muscles tensing slightly as she prepared to kick off as they hoisted her up. "Three." she said as Two did the same feeling herself being pushed upwards she kicked down and sent herself flying upwards rather rapidly, hand reaching up as her clawed fingers dug into the top of the wall. Pulling herself up cringing a little as her body still had not recovered fully from earlier.

Looking down at the rest of the group already down. "Three get up here now." in her mind the seconds were counting down. "50...49...48" she couldn't stay close to the wall not when it came back online. Licking her lips before moving her tongue over her claws coating them in her caustic corrosive saliva before sliding backwards a little digging her claws into the wall and starting to slide down it, the acid and claws leaving a visible gash on the wall as she slowed her decent and landing on the other side.
 
"Lets move." She called out her mind taking charge in the absence of Five or Two "Head for the trees, stick together and keep moving"

[shkkf]

Three grumbled as the others were barking orders to him. It felt like they were acting as humans towards him, do this and that... Heck now he needed to even get Five over the wall, instead of having One just zap them? He couldn't understand their logic at times. But with no real time to waste at the moment, the feline went over to grab Five. The cat landed down near the skunk and tried not to put too much pressure on his feet. "Uuh yea, Five. Sorry about this, but I believe you have to come with me... Well it is that or die it seems."
 
As the two guards that had noticed the Subjects leaving had actually called for reinforcements. A few other guards stationed nearby had heard the call of their comrades and went in to subdue the Subject, trying their best to raise the alarm around them. Not everything was using electricity as in case of emergencies, they still used handdriven sirens. With one of the guards running off to fetch one of the devises to howl its music throughout the facility.
 
Three's ears perked at the soundsand he remembered what Two had told him would occur. "Ok that is definatly not good. Five it is either you go with me over that wall so I can help Two. Or you can stay behind, it is your choice dude... You know I don't see eye to eye with you, but this time make the correct choice!"
