The Incredible Escape

Jared attempted to ignore the others- he had been awake for the entire time. Finally, he spoke.

"Face the facts. We're not getting out alive." Jared mumbled, not enthusiastic about anything. After all, why should he be? At this point, he was just a lab rattata, a slave to these damn scientists.

Jared said nothing further. He had checked every inch of this cage. There seemed to be no vunerabilitys in the cage, anywhere. Jared then tried slashing the cage with his blade,which proved his theory correct.
 
Adam stopped thinking. It seemed like there was nothing that could work, and Jared's sudden outburst seemed to confirm that.

"Well, I've got nothing. Jared's right, if anybody tries anything, we'll most likely be killed." Adam punched a bar in the cage out of frustration, leaving a small amount of frost on it.

"I'm all for escaping, but if you try this, Cairo, You'll probably die." he paused to let that sink in before continuing. "There has to be a smarter way to do this. Anyone have any ideas?"
 
((Okey.))

Ellie awoke to the conversation going on around her. She reached up to feel the top of her head. Yep; still there... she thought as her hand connected with her Espeon ear. She looked at her hands - with the little light in the room, since she was part feline, she could see much better than the rest of the Pokémorphs - and saw her fingernails, slightly longer and pointier than average, <Well, maybe I could try to use my psychic powers to manipulate them?> This was the first time she'd spoken, even telepathically, so the others must have been shocked.
 
Jared showed no reaction.

"There must be a way out of here..." Jared's bright red eyes glared around the room, looking for anything that might free them. His eyes finally set on something.
 
"Alright, this is going nowhere. I suppose we can talk later?" Cairo nodded towards two scientists who had just walked in.
"Not planning an escapeed, I hope." One of them taunted.
"Not like they'd get past the Magnezone!" The other chuckled.
"Alright, Cairo, come on. Up you get."
Cairo uncurled and stood. He followed the scientists out the door, but just before it closed, he turned back and winked.
 
Jared took his attention off of what he saw, and caught a glance of Cairo winking. 'He has a plan to get out of here?' Jared thought, questioning himself.

Just then, Jared noticed the effect the multiple strikes from his blade had on the bars. "Maybe these bars aren't as strong as they seemed... Seems like a solution of melted Magnazone metal is around these bars. Very hard to scratch, harder to break... And immune to special attacks, apparently..."

'Screw Cairo's plan, I work alone.' Jared started slashing at the bars with his blade. They seemingly had no effect. After all, Jared had been in here longer than the others- it can take quite a while...

'Should I try to escape myself, or wait...?'
 
"Wait, he's actually got an idea on how to get outta 'ere?" Skye said excitedly.

"Finally," she said under her breath.
 
If anyone had been paying close attention, they may have heard the slight thud of a body hitting the ground, followed by a "Huh?" and then another body hitting the ground. Cairo looked around. Yep, he'd timed it just right. He was in the only section of corridor with no cameras. "Time to leave." He quickly scurried through their pokets until he found a keyring with about twelve keys on it. "Gotcha." Cairo ran back down the corridor, skidding to a stop. The door was locked. He peered into the lock, then stuck a claw in. He moved his claw around a bit and the door opened. He pushed the door and went in.
"Anybody for freedom? Only problem, my hands can't use keys very well so it might take some time, which we may or may not have, depending on how long until the scientists notice I'm not in the lab."
He ran to Cynthia's cage, which was closest, and started franticly turning the key in the hole. "Work, damnit!"
 
"Open my cage! I can paralyze 'em for you!" Skye screeched as loudly as she could, clawing at the bars.
 
Suddenly, a thought came to him. He looked at the key he was holding. He could just see the word "Jared" on it. He quickly cycled through the keys until he found one saying Cynthia. The cage sprang open. Cairo gave the keys to Cynthia. "Your hands are better suited for this than mine." He hurried over to Jared's cage and began slashing from the outside at the same spot Jared was slashing at. "Need a hand?"
 
Skye began to whine even more.
"COME ON ALREADY!" she shouted while still clawing at the steel cage.

Frustrated, she let a flurry of sparks go in all directions.
 
Cynthia clutched the keys and rushed over to Skye's cage. She found the key with her name on it and she unlocked her cage. She then went to Jared's cage and shoved his key in the lock. "We have to get everyone out! Hurry!"
 
"Skye, we need to find a way out whilst Cynthia frees everyone." Cairo started looking for a door, but it seemed the only way out was down the corridor towards the lab. "Hm.."
 
"We can go that way," she said thoughtfully, "and I can paralyze 'em!"

She knew that it was a bad decision, but they had to try.
 
She looked towards Cario and Skye and decided they were ok finding a way out and she went over to Ellie's and Noelle's cages. She unlocked them both quickly and made her way to Fang's cage. "We have to make it out of here..." she whispered to herself.
 
As soon as his cage was unlocked Fang sprang up and quickly got out of his cage. "Skye, Cario, the Magnazone will be a problem for us. We have to come up with a plan to get rid of them first, then we take out the scientists. Cario, what did you do with the scientists that took you? If they are still around we'll have to dispose of them." he looked around waiting for the Magnazone to come out at any second.
 
Adam took one look at people being freed around him, and jumped up in shock.

"How in the name of the holy lord did you get that key?!" he asked. "And never mind that, can you get me out please? I can help. I have swords that extend from my elbows, for chrissakes."

He jumped to the bars, Very impatient and wanting to get out.
 
Cairo nodded dully as Adam moaned. "I...er...borrowed...the key from some scientist dude who was taking me to the lab." Cairo explained as he paced the room. "What I did was pretend to trip, when one of them came to help me up is punched him in the face, then I hit the other one in the back. I think I broke the guys nose, though. My Brick Break must be getting stronger..."
 
What. Uh. Crap. Uh.

Noelle was shocked, in a word. From the moment Cairo had sent back that wink, she'd been worried that a new death would soon come of the other morphs' foolishness, but here she was, seconds away from being freed. She feared the Magnezone, and knew that the odds were against them, but figured that since everyone was going she'd get punished even if she stayed loyal and didn't leave...

Still...the Magnezone...

"Leave me 'till last," she said simply. It wouldn't be that bad if she had to stay behind...right? At least she would have helped them; she wasn't very good in a fight, just someone else to protect...
 
'He... he got a key?'

After a minute or so, Cynthia came over and unlocked the cage.

"..." Jared gave no reply, and moved out of the cage.
