Shade just about passes out right then and there.

Victoria spent the next few minutes crying her eyes out. She wept solidly until she felt like she'd cried out her very soul, until it seemed as if there was nothing left inside her.

The siren pierced her skull as once again the vault door opened. This time two blacksuits strode out, armed with shotguns, and made their way toward the canteen. They passed the pool of dark liquid that was all that remained of the Skull, then vanished through the wall. Less than a minute later the three remaining Skulls emerged from the trough room, hands clasped above their heads, one of the shotguns pointed at their backs as they marched toward the stairs. They disappeared from view, but it was possible to hear one of the blacksuits shout out a cell number followed by the muffled sound of a door opening.

Rhia has shown back up in her cell, as if nothing had happened.

NIcote awkwardly untangled himself and walked to the bars, picking up his screwdriver. "What were you two doing so far fro the cells? And thanks, by the way." HE added to the person whod stuffe a toilet seat into the bars.

Aaron looked up. It was over, finally. She stood up and placed the room, waiting to find out if her suspicions were correct. If who she thought was dead, was actually dead.

(whoops, I'm lost)

"Oh..." Is all Riley says when he opens his eyes back up to find Shade, Jack, and Victoria all in the cell. He heads to Shade's side to check to see if he was okay. He gives Victoria a small hug after being assured Shade wasn't dead, trying to comfort her.

Shade sure wasn't dead, but he stayed in a corner to stay out of the way. The portal and action afterwards had tired him out a bit so he was leaning on the wall, hoping he wouldn't pass out. But he knew that was more a hope he wouldn't pass out yet.

Riley gives Shade a grateful smile, glad that Shade had gone to help the two. "Thank you." He mouths to the dragon child.
