John was surprised when Hikari looked at him and nodded, it showed slightly on his face as he nodded back to her and then leaned down to the mike, "Exit room, level six is about to begin." he said as he watched the men with guns turn and file out of the room. The way the complex worked meant that he couldn't hear the alarms in the nova holding area, each section of the base was independently sound proof and also independently run, so that failure on one part didn't mean failure in all sectors. He looked at Hikari and nodded once more as he pressed a little red button on the board as cannons came out of the wall, he pressed the button again and could hear the cannons warming up right before the first one fired.
