Damian rubbed the back of his head like a little kid who had been caught with his hand in the cookie jar and laughed sheepishly. He didn't think he'd get such a bad reaction. Pulling his hands out of his pockets his demeanor changed slightly, letting the echo of his former status shine through even though he just looked at her with his arms crossed over his chest. "Former Lieutenant Damian, at your service." He gave her a mock grin before his eyes flickered to the side. "Uh....were you supposed to have a friend that was cloaked or something?" His gaze fell completely on what would appear to Elizabeth as a blank wall. "If you were, your friend needs a better cloak. I can see her." He laughed lightly even though he knew it wasn't the best time to be laughing.
Returning his gaze to Elizabeth for a moment before glancing over at Lena, he shrugged. "I suggest you step aside. I don't want to have to hurt two pretty girls but I was asked to help the little miss in the cage and I won't accept no for an answer." Damian's tone was serious, as was everything but his expression. His expression held the faintest hint of uncertainty alongside his goofy little grin. With every second that passed, he didn't seem to fear for his life even as the cloaked Catherine rested her hand on her blade.

Elizabeth stared at Damian as he said his name and that he is a Former Lieutenant. Though she said nothing as he went on though she did blink in shock when he said he was able to see Catherine.. There was no way he could unless... " You have magic...." Elizabeth said though she made no move for her sword. In fact when he said he was going to help the girl Elizabeth smiled. " I see... Well I must ask you wait till the cameras and speakers are turned back on.. I made a deal with the little one for her freedom she is ready to break out at moment.. You.. well you will just help make a better cover story.. Also Guinevere is here in the city.. Please find her..." Elizabeth said a she then walked past Damian as she started to make her way out if the room.

Damian was stunned when Elizabeth spoke. He could see magic and enchantments and stuff like that, that much was true but a gift like that wasn't always accompanied by using magic as well. In his case it was, but it was still impressive that she could tell so easily. He watched her walk away and stepped out of the cameras view. All he needed to do now was wait for Elizabeth and her little watchdog to go tell them to turn the cameras back on and he could have a blast. Well.....as long as his spells don't blow up in his face that is. Now all that was left was a waiting game that would last about five to ten minutes. Let the game begin...

Elizabeth was now out of the holding cell area looking very ticked off as she then stormed off to the office scaring all the other knights as she did so. Elizabeth then slammed the door open and gave a cold look to Celes, " We kill the best tonight. I find it horrifying that you have had it for a while and let it kill some of your men. That will not be good for you in the report! Now I must make some more rounds... I will look at records later.... And you may turn the cameras back on.. "Elizabeth said as she left slamming the door behind her. Mostly for show and she wanted to scare the underlings. She knew she would not scare Celes just make her hate her more.. But she was not here to make friends.. Though now she had more hope for her sister, she just had to trust Lena and Damian.

The door being slammed open merely made Celes look up at Elizabeth. The ranting and raving of the woman forced an exasperated sigh from Celes. She didn't have time to deal with nonsense like this but it was soon over when Elizabeth left her office. Things did not look good it seemed but personally, she didn't exactly care. She'd love to see someone try to get close enough to kill the little sound dragon. Thinking of the little devil that was the beast, she logged into her computer and manually reactivated the cameras only to be greeted by the site of her brother on the camera blasting the door open.
Slamming her fist down on the desk before bolting to the door, Celes yelled to all who could hear her. "Code Red in the holding bay. All who can report stop them NOW!" At the sound of her voice, a handful of the veterans stopped and headed in the direction of the bay with her following close behind them. The moment the reached the area, the door was blasted off its hinges and thrown across the room to make way for a great black dragon with the former lieutenant riding it. Batting away a few of the soldiers, the dragon looked down at the remainder and roared, a sonic wave smashing into the ground and flinging them in multiple directions.
Just a few feet away, Celes drew her blade with full knowledge that she couldn't use the power she had in front of her important little guest.

Elizabeth stopped what she was about to do when she heard the red alert, she then rushed into see what was going on. as if she did not that would rise a few red flags and she could not let that happen right now. When she got there she saw most of other kights where knocked off their feet. They really needed better training.. Though Elizabeth did not join in the fight.. As she was told just to watch and take notes for the reports.. And not to interfere with whatever happens at this base.. So Elizabeth then just took out her note book and started to write things down as they happened. Though truth be told she most likely never send this off.. She just had to put on a show for now.

Damian jumped off Lena's back and landed on his feet safely, drawing his own blade before rushing at Celes. Right after he jumped off, Lena went on her own little rampage trying to take out as many soldiers as she can. While Lena was playing distraction, Celes easily knocked Damian off his feet as if he were nothing but a novice, her movements fluid as fluid as her bladework was swift. After about a moment, Damian was facedown on the ground and turned to face Lena. With her blade still in hand, Celes approached Lena calmly. Her lips moving in silence as the temperature of the air in the base started to drop quickly. With every step that Celes took, the air around the blade she carried would shimmer more so than the air around them as if it carried a strong brand of icy magic. The instant Lena saw Celes approaching her, she struck out with a claw only to have it be blocked by a swift flash of metal and the claw starting to freeze over.
As soon as that happened, Lena roared her head lifted towards the roof making half of it collapse. In the chaos that she'd caused, Lena grabbed Damian in a claw and flew out of the base through the giant gaping hole she had made in the roof. Once Lena had fled, Celes sheathed her blade and the soldiers started regaining consciousness.

Even though Elizabeth was worried about Damian she had to act as if she did not care. As she just kept writing things down, Though she did look up when Celes also showed she had magic.. Ice magic.. Well it seemed magic ran in their family... Hmm she could work with that... When the battle ended Elizabeth put her note book away and crossed her arms as she looked at Celes." "Letting the beast get away.. And you have magic.. Hmm... I will have a bigger report then I thought..." Elizabeth said a she then started to walk away. Yeah she knew that would most likely get Celes angry but Elizabeth did not care.. At this point now she was tempted now to send off the report.. Mostly to slow this base down. It was one of the ways she could undermine her step father..

Celes glanced at Elizabeth and laughed. It seemed the little boss really did underestimate them. With a bored expression she called to Elizabeth, "There was a reason I let it get away, Ms. Blackwood. The ice was merely a distraction for an underlying tracer spell. All dragons head back to their nest and the other creatures they are comfortable around. Thanks to my spell, we could wipe out probably half if not more of the magical creatures in this city just by seeing where this one creature goes." The plan was devious and yet brilliant at once. Letting the beast go with a tracker was surely something many a hunter has done in order to wipe out the entire lot of them.
Brushing past Elizabeth briskly, Celes headed back to her office to collect a few things. This job was hers to finish and finish it she would. Maybe a handful of her best would come with but in the end, both her so called little brother and the dragon would both share the same fate by the end of the night. It was already in her favor that Damian had sustained potentially life threatening wounds but nonetheless, she wanted to be there should he actually die just to make sure it was real and not an illusion.

Mean while on the other side of the city, Malady and Justice where in their rather large mansion. Malady was training as Justice was outside taking care of the garden, seeing as Malady did not do so herself and let the poor flowers wither. Not that Justice minded she rather be tending to flowers then fighting anyway. Justice hummed as she work very proud of her work, the flowers made this place less creepy and more welcoming. Though she had a feeling that Malady liked it that way but Justice did not.. And it was a good way to take her mind off things that have been happening.
