" Arything you want to bring for while we are in the safe room? Simon told me that there is a tv and DVD player down there. " Eve said knowing they could be in there for a while.

"I'm not sure. Some food would be a good idea though," Kirito responded.

" He says there is some food down there. I'll grab some more just incase we are down there a while. " Eve said.

"Alright. You may want to take some books or movies down as well. I don't know what you like Eve-chan, so pick whatever you like," Kirito also suggested. He knew that while they might be down there for a while that it wouldn't hurt to relax, if only just a little.

" I will. I'll get some movies and books together. Do you like tv shows at all. It seems Simon has some I've wanted to watch for a while. " Eve said.

"Oh? Which ones does Simon-san have?" Kirito asked out of curiosity.

" I'm not sure exactly. Want to come with me and pick some out? Afterwards we can get some food for when we are down there. I know Carly and Max will be with us too. " Eve said and headed toward the living area.

"Sure," Kirito responded.

The soldiers didn't know what hit them when several fighters came out of nowhere.

Carly was getting some things ready when she looked out the window. "We better hurry Max. It looks like we're in for a fight soon. " Carly said as she hurriedly packed.

Max looked out the window and nodded as well. She growled lightly when she saw the Erasers, knowing that they were out for her blood.

" I got what I could fit in here. Ready to meet up with Eve? " Carly asked as she grabbed the bag on the bed.

"Yeah. I think I've seen enough Erasers to last me for two lifetimes," Max said.

Alex was waiting for the signal from Simon to say that they were all in the safe room before joining the battle. Once he got that, he would lead the others into battle.

Simon made sure everyone was secure and gave the signal to Alex." We'll be safe in here I promise. There's enough food for several days , but I don't think we'll be here that long." Simon assured everyone in the safe room.

"Got it," Alex replied to Simon. Now knowing that his friends would be safe, he got out from his hiding spot, sucker punching a guy that wasn't paying attention to behind him. With that, everyone started fighting.

Salem jumped out of his spot and slashed an Eraser who was fighting a soldier. He wasn't going to let the School get any where near his friends.

Rikku had morphed into her Berserker Dress sphere and was fighting alongside Yugito whenever she could keep up with the neko. She knew that no one had asked her to do it, but the young Al Bhed took it upon herself to look after their 'youngest sister'.

Taylor was fighting an Eraser with Sora and was glad that a solider jumped in to help. He tossed a sword to Taylor , since the one he had been using had been bent by the Eraser.

Jean stuck with her trainer while they fought, not wanting him to get hurt because no one was watching his back. Rikku had told her that she was going to keep an eye on their youngest sister. Blocking a claw strike aimed for her chest with her arm-guards, she quickly countered it with a kick to the chest.

Eve woke up from the nap she had taken once they had settled in the safe room. She hoped her friends were safe and that things would be back to normal once this was over.

Kirito stretched lightly as he worked on a puzzle, glad that Renamon had brought it down. He had a feeling that she didn't want to be cooped up in here, but her trainer had to have a reason. Seeing Eve stretch out of the corner of his eye, he chuckled lightly and hoped that she enjoyed her nap.

Carly was making some Mac and cheese for everyone and hoped everyone felt like eating something. She had her Bishie Dex charging and waited for the signal Alex woud send once the fighting was over.

"Rikku, duck!" Yugito shouted as she vaulted over the girl and kicked the solider that was in front of the girl before landing, swinging the Al Bhed girl around to hit the Eraser as well. Yugito wouldn't admit it, but she was starting to get tired.

Michael had his Bishies fighting and ducked from a punch that was directed toward him. He was glad that his people had made it here on time.

"Yug, you okay?" Rikku asked as she saw Yugito breathing heavily. Then again, a lot of the Erasers were going after her and the neko.

"I'll live," Yugito replied as she ducked under a claw swipe from an Eraser. "But if you have a quick pick-me-up, I wouldn't mind having it," she added.

Sora dodged out of the way and punched an Eraser that had hit Taylor from behind. No one was going to do that to his trainer on his watch.
