Raphael and Mazarus walked in at the end of Iada's comment. They said nothing though, they were tired and heart broken over what they had seen today.
Raphael sat down in a chair at the table drinking from a canteen. Mazarus however went over and sat on the couch next to the two girls.
"so how was your observation post, not too difficult to handle I trust?" Mazarus said to Jasmine.

((Thank you guys for waiting! My god 5 pages?!))
Sapphire snalred at Iris's comment and then went to look at the other slaves.
Ruby sighed as she lugged a few more slabs of concrete. She knew that sapphire still balmed Emerald for what happened all those years ago,but they were only children then and it wasnt even her fault.
Emerald noticed Ruby's sigh and hugged her sister tightly, "Well get out of this I promise." Emerald said quitely to her little sister before darting over to hannah. "That was a risky thing you did, but thanks."
((I hope this is ok cause im kinda lost on what yall are doing so im just gonna stick to the original plan. Besides I thought we were not even supposed to use the kids!)))

((I never heard the original plan, and Raphael was using Mazarus so I decided to bring Jazz in.))
"It was ok," Jasmine said a little reluctently. "I was an ice cube practically the whole time." Emberassment started to redden her cheeks and she felt her body heat up and her hair start to smoke. Quickly she crushed the feeling to prevent from turning into a living flame. "It wasn't hard, it was just a little scary watching you guys run though all this stuff and seeing Big Lips... I mean Apocolypse... standing out in plain sight. He enslaved the whole free world, I don't want to be withing 100 miles of him," she ended passionately and truthfully.

"Maybe a wizard hat," Iada murmured before sniffing the air, "Crap the food!" she yelled porting into the kitchen.

Maria sighed. They had been working for hours, and made almost no progress other than loading the slabs onto the cart.
Sheena loaded her last slab onto her assigned cart and sat down to catch her breath. She begins to search through what little pocket space she has and pulls out a small white card. She stares at it for what seems to be forever before sheading a tear. "Dammit..."
"What's up?" Maria asked, blowing off her duties to attend to Sheena.
"Nothing...it's just Corrine, that's all..."
"Well can't you summon him with that card?"
"No. I could summon his spirit, but I couldn't take this damn collar off if I tried..."
"Ioverheard somebody telling the others that you can easily remove them with a hair pin."
"No, whoever said that does not know how Iris handles her technology..." Sheena replied, shaking her head. "These collars are designed to send an instant shock to the brain and immobilize somebody for hours if they attempt to take them off."
"And how did you obtain this information?"
"Before I came to Bayville, I was a ninja. I know a few tricks." Sheena admitted, wishing she could do SOMETHING about this situation. "Unfortunetly, I can't use anything I know to obtain any information now. Apocalypse and Iris have this place rigged with all sorts of traps and secrets. It'd probably take me years to accomplish anything."
Sheena took one last look at the tiny card in her hand and put it back in her pocket.

((*gapes* HOLY SHIZ! That many pages the one day I was gone?))
Hannah sat in her cell, legs stretched out in front of her as she flicked tiny pebbles across the floor. God, she was bored out of her mind. Her sister, Willow, was a couple of cells down the aisle. She gave her collar a tug, though she knew it wouldn't come off. The first year she was trapped in slavery, she had tried everything possible to escape. Two times, she managed to get out of a less secure cell. Both times she was caught and thrown back into the cell. Since then they had wised up and shoved her into this stronger cell, much to her irritation.

((Welcome to the club! This is what I get for studying for my exams))
Emerald leaned up against the wall of her cell in deep thought, very deep thought. She knew there had to be a way out but she needed her powers to do it.
Ruby was a cells down from her older sister was attempting to use her mecahnical skills to build something. She had to think of someway to get out even if it took her all night messing around with bricks and foil she took from the gaurds.

Mazarus nodded. "you did well." Raphael was still sitting at the table, pensive as ever.
"your mother would have been proud." Raphael said to Jasmine. She looked remarkable like her mother. Raphael bowed his head. He had taken out a folded picture of his wife and daughter. He was looking at it, it had been some time since he had seen them.
"control comes with patience and time Jasmine, both will come to you." Raphael got up, folding the picture. He handed it to his son and then went into the back rooms. He needed a shower, to be alone, to clear his head.
"well, that was interesting." Mazarus said once his father had left the room. Even Mazarus thought his father was odd.

Sheena and Maria sit in their cell, Sheena doing her best to levitate Corrine's card without tripping the alarm in her collar.
"What do you think it's like outside?"
"Hmm?"
"Like, what happened when we were all enslaved. What are the other people out there, free, doing?"
"No telling..."
Sheena remembered that Ruby and Emerald were just across the hall when looking up to see the two of them. "Hey Ruby..." she managed to say, the card instantly hitting the floor when Sheena became distracted. "Looks like you're tinkering with something...what're you up to this time?"

"Seeing If I can create something to generate enough Electricity to short circut these stupid collars." Ruby said tinkering with her works

"I could use Volt's electricity, but Apocalypse and these damn collars prevent me from doing anything other than levitate these cards..." she replied, thinking about how she alone could have saved everybody. "All we need, is one shot at freedom...and I could find Maxwell..." she mumbled, bringing her knees to her body and resting her head on them, starting to cry.

Ravage nodded, "Yes Mi'Lady. I used to be called Christian. I think I'm one of the only ones who remembers that. I've been called Ravage for a long time."
He looked at her, deep into her eyes. "If it's okay with you, I wouldn't mind if you called me Christian. At least for the night."
His mind wondered for a moment, as he swallowed a bite of food.
"If you don't mind me asking, why did you invite me here tonight? I mean, I know what your father thinks of me, it's no secret. But I didn't expect such courtesy from you."

"Hey its OK." Ruby soothed trying to confort her friend from far away. "No worries we are gonna get out of here soon."
Emerald sighed "Always the Opptemist arent you?"
"Well at least im not letting my beast side take me over!" Ruby snarled getting back to her work
Emerald leaned against the wall and knew her sister was right. She was slowly changing and the evil within her was comming out in full force.

Hannah let out an annoyed growl as she attempted to create a spark, any sign of her electrical powers would comfort her at the moment. If she could manage a spark, she would try something bigger until there was a chance of short-circuiting the collar.

"Hey, whatever happened to Kev and Cole?" Maria asked, noting that their cell was empty.
"I'm sorry Ruby...it's just so hard...he killed Corrine, and took away the spirits...do you have any idea what he could do with them if he figured out their secrets?" Sheena replied, wiping the tears from her face. "And it's not any better that he's treating us like dogs and there is nothing we can do about it because Iris has these damn guards eating out of her hands and they obey her every command. It's hard to plan something when you can't even blink wrong without a guard beathing down your back, ya know?" she continued, picking up the card and examining it again.

"You know we could get assigned to Power duty tommorow. So we could start a revolt and use our powers." Ruby said with a smile.

Kevin appeared into view, being escorted, along with Cole, to their cell.
"You rang," he joked.
"yeah, sorry about being so tardy," Cole sighed, finding a seat in an unlit corner, "Ravage let us off early for his date. Which, by his clock, means one extra hour of labor..."
"Hell, we were lucky to get out at all tonight. Thank God for that date of his with Apocalypse's baby girl..."

"If so, then I can't do much. Without the spirits, I'm weak..." Sheena admitted, tossing Ruby Corrine's card. "Hold on to that. It'll bring good luck." she said, popping her back.

Hannah let out an agitated yell, making sure everyone in the dungeon could hear her. She was hoping that if she acted up enough, they would move her to another cell to make her shut-up. That, or they might give her a severe beating.

Emerald got the drift of what Hannah was doing and Howled like a wolf. Almost instantly she felt her beast side acting up and trying to get out.
Ruby placed Corrine's card carefully in her pocket. "Thanks I will be careful."
