Oz sat up, rubbing his head. “Alice!” He called out to her, seeing the girl tied up on a table. He ran to her, but when he got too close, a few chains wrapped around his wrists, holding him in place. “Down, boy...” Lance said, smirking. Alice squirmed and growled. “Release him! Now!”
Oz looked down at the chains that were holding him in place, then over to Alice who was still squirming and growling like an animal. He tried to get a good look at the man, but as it was so dark in the room and his eyes weren’t adjusted fully, he couldn’t get that good look he wanted.
Alice growled at the man holding them captive. “Let me go!” she snapped. Lance laughed. “Or What?” it was in that moment that Oz and Alice realized they were cornered. they could only depend on a few things to happen. A, that Cassidy and Gilbert came through that door- wherever the door is. Or B, that Pandora found them because of some sort of case. Either way, the two needed a miracle... And that miracle wasn’t going to happen any time soon....

Cassidy sighed, having finished explaining the events that had just gone down to Sharon and Break. Sharon lifted her porcelain cup, sipping from it slowly and closing her eyes rather calmly. “I see...” Was all she said.
Break smirked a little. “Well... there’s nothing we can do~~” He said, getting Cassidy pissed off. “You stupid little-!” Before she could finish, Break tossed a piece of candy at her. “sheesh, so mean~ I was joking~”
Suddenly, Reim walked through the door, then he noted how everyone looked up quickly as though they were having a secret meeting that should not have been interrupted. He paused from his walking, then looked at each one of them before he murmured, “Am I... interrupting something?”
Break smiled. “Reim~ it’s oh so nice to see you~” Cassidy sighed. “Come on... just give me some Back up, here...” Break glanced at Sharon who put down her tea cup, clearing her throat. “Go ahead, Break..”
“Okay...?” Reim said, though it sounded like a question. He walked in slowly, eyeing Break in a skeptical manner. He stood in the middle of the group, waiting for an explanation.
Cassidy gave an extremely long explanation of every occurrence and looked at Reim, expecting him to do something.
He blinked a few times, nodding, letting it all soak in. Then, rather calmly, he reached up and took his glasses off his face, then began cleaning them with a white cloth frantically. “Master Oz is... This doesn’t sound good...” he glanced over at Servius, then to Gilbert, as if he expected a fight to occur.
Cassidy nodded. “Gather as many of Pandora's men as possible and meet me at Rendezvous point.” she said, walking out of the room.
“R-Right,” Reim muttered, pushing his glasses to his face and putting them on. He quickly turned on his heel, and out the door he went.
Servius stepped forward hesitantly, his gaze fixed on Cassidy. “What are we going to be planning, my lady?” he asked, curious.
Gilbert let out a loud sigh, glaring at the floor. “Whatever the plan is, I just hope it works. He may be my master, but I don’t trust Oz in these types of situations.”
Servius looked back at Gilbert, noting the glare he threw in his way. “I don’t mean to be rude, but why the glare?”
“Why do you think I’m giving you the glare?” Gilbert spat, and if possible, he glared even more. He walked over to him, his voice hard as he said, “You let my master get away. You didn’t try to look for him. He’s missing because of you.”
“Excuse me?” Servius said, standing up straighter. He glared back at the man in front of him, unfazed by his hard voice. “I didn’t let him. Letting him would have been encouraging it. I tried to look for him. Granted I didn’t go far, but that’s because I didn’t expect him to run off like that. And before you say I should know better, I do not know Oz like you do. He is not missing because of me. I refuse to take blame for something like thi -”
“Something like this?” Gilbert spat again, holding back a laugh. “Do not call this situation as you were about t - ““My lady,” Servius interrupted, tearing his gaze away from Gilbert. He looked at Cassidy, his eyes softening from the glare. “What do you think?”
Cassidy turned at both of them, a harsh, fiery glare in her eyes. “You two better quit your blabbering and focus on what’s important. and pray-tell Oz took his eyes off my sister and Alice was kidnapped... that is how it started! so no more arguing! we have a job to do!” She stormed off.
“Ah...” Servius muttered, slightly taken back at Cassidy’s words. He watched as she stalked off, leaving him and Gilbert in the room.
“Well... Right...” Gil mumbled, narrowing his eyes in confusion. “H-Hey, where are you going?” he called as Servius went in the same direction as Cassidy did.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Oz Looked at the man, hatred glowing in his emerald eyes as he gave Lance a harsh glare. “Let us go...” Lance laughed. “Or what?” The man had Alice’s wrist in his hand, about to cut it. Alice held back a wince, closing her eyes and looking away before more horrors could come. Oz, now utterly pissed at the man, broke the chains binding him, eyes glowing red. With a shadow shaped like the B-Rabbit, he summoned the crimson Red scythe and pointed it in the fowl man’s direction. “You must be joking if you think you can get away with something like that...” Oz’s eyes were cold and there was no existence of the warm glow that used to show about him. Alice’s eyes widened. “O-Oz?” Nothing she could say would snap him out of it... the beast within had broken out, and Oz was willing to do anything...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The officers of Pandora surrounded a building. Moments before, when they were forming a plan, Gilbert had let out a slight cry of pain. All eyes were on him, until Reim himself let out a tiny gasp, pointing out what the pain could, and most likely did, mean. “B-Rabbit’s power,” Reim said, gesturing to Gilbert’s left hand. “The pain of it could mean Oz got control of the power. He’s possibly close by.”
Not five seconds ago, Cassidy had paused at the warehouse and listened. She nodded silently for the men to swarm over and surround the building. Reim nodded and motioned. Everyone going silent for a moment. Cassidy looked at Servius. “My Knight... get ready to charge into battle.”
“Of course, my lady,” Servius said, smiling at her. Then, as the seconds passed, his face turned serious, hard. She facepalmed. “I meant get out of your human form.”
He looked at her blankly. Then, “Oh!” he laughed, shaking his head and lowering his laugh - as this might not be the right time to begin laughing. He closed his eyes tightly, concentrating the power in him. Moments later, there he was, hovering over and behind Cassidy, in his knight form, a pitch black suit of armor with red trim.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Oz fought through the hordes of chains to try to get to the man, slicing his way through and dicing up the many curiously scary creatures to do so. However, the more he killed, the more seemed to come back, and he was starting to get very tired indeed.Lance only watched and laughed until Cassidy burst into the place, flooding the room with light. “Servius, if you’d be so kind as to take care of the pests...”
The black knight that loomed over them drew out a sword, murmuring something along the lines of, “As you wish,” though it was deeper than when he was in human form, and had a slight echo; making the sentence, “As you wish” bounce off the walls and back into their ears.
He began slicing and moving the sword as if he did the action everyday, distracting the chains that took no interest in fighting; faking going left, then faking going right as one by one, the chains disappeared and didn’t come back.
Oz saw his chance and ran to Alice, dodging Chains left and right as he got closer and closer. When he reached her he cut the ropes around her ankles loose and she wiggled them free before he had to turn away and fight once more.
Cassidy had summoned a sword of her own and was now dueling with the very heartless man who had kidnapped her sister. Slicing, swinging and dodging, Cassidy was neck and neck with the man, as she could not easily put a mark on him. Alice had jumped down from the desk and ran towards Cassidy who had leaped into the air and landed behind her sister, making one slash and cutting her free. “There you are, Alice.” she said as her sister stepped to the side, giving her room to charge at the man once more.Lance only laughed and put his blade up to her neck. “why are you fighting? She’s not even your sister...” He whispered into the girls ear. Cassidy’s eyes widened, wondering how he knew before she was stabbed in the stomach by the purely evil man.
Suddenly, a pain shot through Servius. Though he was in his knight form, he could still feel it - the white hot pain, somewhere around where his middle would be. “my Lady!” He called out, knowing she was in trouble; after all, The contract allowed him to sense her pain. He fought through the crowd of chains to kneel by her side. Cassidy faintly smiled at him. “Finish the Job, My knight... Go on, Servius... kill that bastard...” coughing up a little blood, Cassidy tried to stand but Servius refused to let her. He turned to the man and growled. “Congratulations, Sir, You’ve just earned yourself 5 minutes in hell before I kill you!” Servius charged at the man, much faster and stronger than Cassidy.
It was in the moment that servius attacked him that time seemed to be on pause as everyone stopped in their tracks, Chains, contractors, officers, and the rest of the lot seemed to be frozen in place for the briefest of moments, but also the longest. For under their feet, a portal to the Abyss had formed, slowly dragging them all under like a mixture of molasses and quicksand. Luckily, those who were laying down had time to get up before being pulled at by the invisible current-like force of the abyss.
“Now you all have a choice.... You can either surrender and give me all your chains and immunity to Pandora.... or we all get dragged into the Abyss together!” Lance called out, loud enough for everyone to hear. Cassidy glared at the man, extremely pissed now. “He’s gonna go down twice as hard now...”
