Five was a bit taken aback to find that these supposed wings three had were indeed real. He took a look back to see the guard headed towards them, debating if there was time to act or if that situation needed to be resolved first, but it seemed Three wasn't as concerned, as he grabbed Five and lifted him up and out. He could control his abilities. Another bit of news to Five, and another issue that had crossed his mind that was no longer a concern, it seemed.

Upon making it over the wall, Five looked around to see everyone making their way to the woods. He still wasn't 100% certain about everything, but he was well beyond the point of return now, so he tucked his hands into his trenchcoat pockets and made almost a casual, leaping steps jog following behind the group. They all chose up in the trees for some reason, but Five found it easier to just stay on the ground, weaving around trunks rather than dodging around all the branches, but to each their own.

He paused when Nine called out about the other two making it out, and turned to follow to the scene, stepping up along side the others. He was breathing a bit heavier as well, but as far as he was concerned of course was the least worked up and best still fit to take on the task. He gave Thirteen a look.. "Again with that..? You look like you're barely keeping your own self up right now as is.." Five let a bit of a sigh out. "....I'll take one.."

Three laughed a little in a sarcastic tone when he saw the others comming back for him and Two. He tried to move, but it proved nearly impossible except to crawl some. "Damm dart tranqualised my lower body." He said grunting and annoyed unable to properly move as a result. The feline yelled for the others as he saw them approaching. "Get Two out first! He has been fully darted." As the feline crawled closer to the other. His body felt heavy and very much useless right now. Flying was even out of the question because of it. He wouldn't be able to get enough lift to adjust himself.

It seemed like they were all being in a panic sort of state right now with the sight they saw. And Three was not in the mood for that as he grumbled to them. "Let Five and Four and Nine carry... The robotic features they have and Five's strength make it easiest and won't slow us down much." The cat said as he adjusted himself to get onto his elbows. "Thirteen, you best scout ahead... You are nimble and we need eyes before us. The forest is the best way to hide for now. And One? Everyone else I missed gets the rear." He chuckled when Five got near. "Hehe, nice suprise no?... Besides you don't want to be there when that thing gets free. Trust me!"

Thirteen smiled at Five, purring to herself for a fraction of a second. She coughed, sniffling to herself as the burning cold tried to take complete control of her lungs. Though she knew Three was right. Still, she looked over at Two for either a confirmation or denial for a few moments. And then realized that what she was doing was stupid, and scampered up a tree once more, jolting ahead. She kept an eye out for anything that could be used as a landmark, anything that can be used as shelter. As she got further away, the thoughts of her companions grew more faint.

The silence was unnerving.

[Suzumibachii]

One nodded and took a few deep breaths a cold calm slowly seemed to spread over her. "Get them to the forest, if anything tried to get close to us from behind I will take them out." She seemed to have recovered and the cold air did not seem to effect her despite being cold blooded. In truth she was sending small bursts of electricity though her muscles forcing them to stay warm at the cost of tiring her nerves out quickly.

Four nodded to Three, then bent down to scoop up Two and drape him over his shoulder. He strained a bit, but his mechanical arm was strong enough to hold him without any major problems once he had properly balanced the load. He then started off after Thirteen, looking back over his shoulder to make sure that the others were following.

[K0brA]

Five let out a little sigh of frustration. Of course he gets to babysit Three.. But Five shrugged it off since both were 'evils' and neither were lesser. He picked Three up and draped him over his shoulder, with Three's head behind Five's back. "No talking unless it's important, and don't even think about using me to heal yourself. I -will- drop you and leave you.." And with that he started back in the direction Thirteen was scouting off in, caring the feline along with him..

 As Thirteen surveyed ahead, in the distance she would be able to make out a number of red brick buildings peeking just over the tree line in the horizon no more than five miles away.  Though none of them would know it yet, but she was looking upon the village of Bluebell.  It is the downtown area of an otherwise rural county, home to around 3,000 residents.  Main street is home to a majority of shops that the area has to offer as well as apartment complexes that reside in the upper levels.  It is the epitome of a quaint small country town.  Here, opinions of anthros are largely a mix between awkward acceptance to outright contempt, with a few outliers in both extremes.

[Lavender_Stripes]

What's that? What are those? Thirteen climbed higher, huffing against the sheer cold. There was something. Her eyes darted about until she identified it. Buildings! They were pretty far off, yet very close. She could hear the faint murmur of thoughts, but only if she tilted her head right. Kind of like "bunny ears" on old televisions. The girl smiled to herself and scampered back in the direction she came, hoping to meet up with her group.

[Suzumibachii]

One dashed as fast as she could keeping up with the rest of the group as they made their way though the trees. Glancing back in the direction of the facility she knew as her home, tears welling up in her eyes as she came to the realization of what she had caused. Cringing in pain as sparks arched over her body, she was getting too emotional again she needed to stay calm but her mind was filling up with thoughts of the facility and how she grew up. "The administration...." she mumbled to herself.

[Lavender_Stripes]

Thirteen skidded to a stop when she saw them, smiling from ear to ear. "Guys! I found something. I could make out buildings in the distance, over the trees. They weren't very big, though. About...five miles, give or take, from us. We did it. I can't believe we did it!" She forgot about her aching legs, her burning lungs, everything. The girl had been filled with a new spirit, one of adventure and discovery and interaction. She could meet people, others like her, even. It was to be glorious.


"Is everyone doing okay..?"

[Fitzwilliam Jinglesworth]

Four raised an eyebrow, confused but at the same time seeing the prospects before him. He scratched his head, adjusting the subject on his shoulders, and glanced at Thirteen.

"Buildings? You...you mean..?"

[Isoke]

 The group managed to put some distance and flora between them and the facility before the administration could so much as coordinate a hunt for the escapees.  A few minutes later they may notice a momentary, faint vibration on the ground beneath them that was followed by the soft dying rumble of what could have been mistaken for distant thunder that rode a noticeably warm gust of wind.  If any were to look back from above the forest canopy, they would see a thick plume of jet black smoke flecked with red embers from where the facility most assuredly stood just minutes before.
 
All the while, Two remained in his drug-induced slumber and oblivious to the world around him.

[Lavender_Stripes]

"It's a town." Thirteen confirmed Four's suspicions, climbing over the treetops to look again. She ducked back down. "Like I said, about 5 miles away. Maximum. It's so close...we're SO close!" The cat purred loudly, almost unable to contain her excitement.

[Fitzwilliam Jinglesworth]

Four blinked. "So...I guess we really do have a chance after all...damn, I had no idea..." He stood there for a moment, trying to process this thought. He was so used to depending on the Facility that he had never even considered survival without them to be a possibility.

"...so, shall we move?"

Three was enjoying his piggyback ride via Five. The whole situation was funny to him as the male began to laugh softly and he couldn't help bit think in himself how hilarious it would be to just make fun of the whole situation. It wasn't just the fact that was literally happening either, but also the fact that he was correct on so many levels and he couldn't wait to rub it into the other male's face. The whole issue with the base, the fact that the administration wanted to do nothing more than make them into weapons.
 
Even Five's so called 'loyalty', seemed to have been shattered through this experience. "So Five, tell me... If you are so loyal to the administration?... Why not drop me and go back over to them mhh? Or is the fact Two's vision was correct enough of a deterrent to have altered your vision on the world?" It wasn't untill he heard Thirteen yell out there was a village, that the feline smiled. He yelped in pain for a moment as he tried to get the wings back into his body, suddenly hanging over the other has shoulder as he panted heavily. "That... still hurts!" Three said softly, before trying to grab the groups attention. "Do... do not go into the village yet guys." His breathing was heavily, as his body tried to combat the toxins. "We don't know... anything on that place yet!"
