Zero, Jean and the rest of Alex's bishies nodded as well.

"I would resist punching the guards for the moment Alex...at least until we know where Lena wants us to go," Jean said after thinking for a few minutes. Alex growled lightly but nodded, knowing that it would be better in the long run if he didn't act on his anger and disgust at how they treated Saphira.

Max agreed as well. she hoped they would find out soon when the breakout happened.

While they waited on the letter, Alex headed out to get Saphira and Angelus, knowing that someone would come find him if Spyro or a different dragon came with another note about the location of the underground lair.

Spyro had the message and tapped on the glass of the hotel room. He hoped someone was there to receive the message.

Kit heard the tapping on the window and went to see who or what it was. Seeing that it was Spyro, the young wizard quickly opened the window and took the letter from him. Thanking the purple dragon, he closed the window once the dragon left before hearing the door open.

"Kit?" Alex asked before he handed Alex the letter. Opening the note up, he let the others read over his shoulder with him.

" So at sunset we start the offensive?" Max asked as she tried to read the letter along with the others. It wasn't an easy task to do.

"Looks that way, and it also says that she'll show us where the place is beforehand. At least that's one thing I don't have to worry about," Alex said. "Now then, I'm going to let Angelus and Saphira out so they can help with the distraction. Max, Sora, Rikku and Nita are going to help getting everyone in the dungeon out. Zero, Leglius, Kit and Jean will be helping me in the fighting, but if Bryce shows up, we don't engage him, not yet. Now I'm pretty sure it goes without saying that these plans could change at a moment's notice."

Max was ready to get her friends out of the dungeon and would be very happy to see Carly again." What do we need to do before we start the offensive. " Max asked after she thought a little bit , knowing it would be difficult to get them out if they didn't have a plan in place.

"We'd have to make sure that there would be nothing tying us to here, or something that can be used against us," Zero stated as Alex was about to say it, "and it would be nice to know where exactly the location of this underground network is beforehand."

"Right. I'd also like a surprise for anyone with ill intent coming after us. Kit, Nita, could you prepare a spell for something like that?" Alex asked as both wizards shook their heads in the negative and explained that it wasn't something that they could do at the time. Their trainer took it in stride and said that it was alright.

Lena was glad that today she hadn't been caught. It had been close , but Bryce seemed distracted about something today. She knew that she would have to keep a low profile after the offensive happened , knowing that Bryce would be livid that his prisoners had escaped.

Alex rubbed his temples lightly, knowing that Bryce would be after his head once the offensive started, especially since he would be fighting with his Bishies. He just hoped that everyone knew what they were getting into. If this failed...he shook his head quickly at that. He wouldn't go down that train of thought.

Lena was glad when work was over and went toward her home to change. She knew she had to be careful not to get caught.

Alex helped his Bishies clean the hotel room while waiting for sundown. He didn't want anyone finding anything that could either lead back to him or be used against either himself or one of his bishies.

Lena got changed and locked her front door. She went into her bedroom and uncovered the hatch and grabbed the bag . She knew she would be in hiding for a while. She went down the ladder and locked the hatch. She had to let Cole know she was ready for tonight.

Alex heard a knock on the door. Looking through the peephole of the door, he saw that it was Cole. Alex assumed that he was going to show them where the Underground lair was and asked him that very question.

" Ready to head on out?" Cole said with a grin. He knew that tonight would be a major blow to Bryce.

"Been ready all day," Alex said. He noticed Cole looking around at all his Bishies and sighed lightly. "You think it will be better if they were in their balls while we walked, don't you?" he then asked.

" It would be better. I'm sorry that you have to put them in there, but the less attention we attract the better. " He said in a low voice.

Alex nodded. While he didn't like the devices and rarely used them to transport his Bishies, he knew that they were useful at times...such as this. "Alright, give me a few minutes to let them know," he said in a low tone as well. Turning to his Bishies, he gathered their attention and then told them what Cole had told him. He knew it wasn't fair, but it was better to be safe and cautious then sorry and dead.

Max and Sora understood that it was better to be in the Bishie balls. Max went in hers and Sora went in his.

Alex clipped their balls to his bag, mentally thanking them for accepting the decision. Turning towards his Bishies, they, too, understood that it was better to be in their Bishie Balls and went into each of their respective balls of transportation. Happy to see them not fussing about it, he thought about how to reward all of them when he next had the chance to do so.

" Ready to go?" Cole asked. " We're going to have to take the stairs . I saw too many guards in the lobby. There is a hatch nearby we can use to get underground. "

"Ready as I'll ever be," Alex said as he had his bag with him, the several swords he carried with him somehow fitting between the strap and his back, but still giving him free of movement. Alex waited for Cole to head out before following him down the stairs.

Cole headed toward the stairs , keeping an eye out for anything out of the ordinary. He put his gloves on , incase things went badly and they were looking to see who had been here in the hotel. Cole knew his prints were on file, due to him being a part of the Rebels. He didn't want himself or Alex to get caught .

Alex kept close to Cole and made sure not to touch anything if he could help it. Just because Bryce trusted him now, did not make the trainer think he was stupid. If Bryce got his prints on file then that would make things very difficult in the future. Furthermore, Alex didn't want to take the unnecessary risk anyways. "Rikku would have a field day in a staircase like this," Alex mumbled to himself, seeing how easily it would be to set up traps and pranks in an enclosed space such as this.
