Disappointed in himself that he could not keep the door shut Takato quickly jumped up. Keeping his back towards Kida. It was when they started circling that made Takato nervous. He knew what that meant. You could tell by the look in their eyes, they were hungry. Infact. It was the very same way his very own mother taught him to hunt. Takato and Kida were out numbered, maybe by only a few, but with their strength it was like being attacked by a whole army. Takato let out a growl of warning. No not a growl, more like a roar. But it didn't make them flintch. Infact it only made them quicken their attack.
Three of them jumped towards Takato. It was Takato noticed 2 of them were jumping towards Kida that Takato jumped out of the way, towards the 2 that were seconds away from Kida, He pushed them away just in the nick of time, Slaming their heads into the wall, Slamming the axe into the joint that connected the neck and the shoulder, Then quickly hitting the other one in the head with the handle. Causing the syn to be knocked out.
Takato turned around once more only to quickly notice the other three were now going after Kida. He quickly grabbed his gun, hoping it would have enough strength to atleast push them back. Shot guns tended to be strong that way. He shot once, Hitting the Syn once more, pushing it back a few inches. "Fucking hell! KIDA LOOK OUT!" Takato yelled

Being surrounded didn't sit well with Kida, it had her fight or flight instincts waking in the back of her mind. And there was no way to run, so that only left fight. "Damn it, Takato!" she swore when he took it upon himself to defend her from the on coming syns. It had only served on getting her back up against a wall with three after her.
This was why Kida had come prepared. With the twist of her wrists she unscrewed the tops off of the water bottles strapped to her waist. Kida gathered her fighting instinct and channeled it into anger. Her temper had always been a great trigger for her powers. With a shout she pulled the water into the air and wrapped it around the heads of the creatures. Their advance was immediately paused and Kida took a steadying breath to control herself. The creatures were clawing their fingers at the water, swiping and passing through the surface only to touch nothing.
Their lungs still needed air and water could not be held. But rather than waiting for them to drown, Kida jumped up and kicked them both in the chests to force them backwards. The staggering gave her the time to unsheathe a dagger and cut their throats. Kida didn't know if it would do the trick, but she had never decapitated a creature before and was hesitant. You have to or they'll come back! Kida gritted her teeth and swiped the dagger at them again and another time until their heads rolled onto the once white tile.
Two down. "Don't forget I'm a fighter too." she directed at Takato. After all they were partners. They weren't going to get any where if they were constantly trying to save each other from non-emergency situations.

Even before the decapitated Syn hit the ground there were already others running from the Mall hallway, snarling and roaring, into the power room. Two of them stopped by the door and flung themselves at Kida. A third one who was wearing a bloody suit roared, his mouth dripping with brown blood.
"Flesh..." He growled.
The last one remaining in the room took the opportunity to jump on Takato's back and to wrestle him into the ground and perhaps take a bite from his shoulder. The Syns require a supply of fresh meat to sustain themselves. They do not like eating the flesh of those who were infected or already turned. They must feed on any protein that did not contain the virus.

Takato then felt himself being tackled to the ground. He struggled for his life trying to get this 'Thing Of his back. Rolling on to his back trying to break his grip, But he had one grip there. Takato rolled over, hoping his weight would do something. but it barely took into effect. This thing was like a leech trying to eat him alive. Takato then saw his gun. It was only inches away from his finger tips, as he fought for his life. Finnally able to reach his gun. He hit the syn with the back of the gun loosening his grip. Takato took his gun cocked it, pulling the trigger before it decided to attack again.
His shot gun was now out of bullets. yes he could refill it but there was on thing against him that he didn't have.... Time. Takato then grabbed the bloody axe. Or atleast tried. It was so deep into the neck that it almost wouldn't come out. With one final tug. When the axe was so jammed into the syn he decided to leave it. It was now his turn to attack one from behind.
Takato ran as fast as he could to attack atleast one of the syn going after kida. He then wrapped his arm around his neck. Putting him in a head lock. The syn tried to fight his way out. But now it was payback. Pulling on his arms in more. He was chocking the syn. Thats when Takato had enough playing games. Snapping his neck, breaking it. You can hear all the bones snapping if not breaking into tiny shards.

The sound of Kida's back hitting the ground echoed in her own ears as the Syn tackled her. She had managed to grab a hold of the thing's neck, pushing it back as hard as she could. It was taking all her strength to keep those smooth edged teeth away from her and if felt like her hand could slip at any moment. Being this close, Kida smelled the stench of human flesh coming straight from the Syn's mouth. Those electric blue irises stared so blankly at her, the shadow of intelligence, but the raw instinct of an animal.
Grunting, Kida struck at the Syn's chest as hard as she could. However instead of causing the creature to remove itself, it only served to make some of the blood leaking from it's mouth to drop on her cheek. "Ugh!" The disgust churned in her stomach. Kida almost started to panic when the Syn started inching closer and closer to her skin, growling in a such a gutteral way that Kida could not believe these things were ever supposed to pass for human.
Kida pulled her leg up underneath the Syn and rocked her body at the same moment she kicked the thing in the stomach. The Syn went flying and Kida jumped to her knees, casting the water around the creatures head as she had done with the others. The dagger she had held was lying on the tile in a small pool of blood. Noting to not get any form of blood near her mouth, Kida furious wiped the blood from her cheek and grabbed her dagger, moving to hack and the Syn's neck.

Takato took the chance that he could to rush towards the door. Slamming it shut the second he got to the door. Takato locked it, Even though it probably wont do any good. Who knows what those things are capable of. Takato then leaned against the door. Somewhat out of breath. Those syns can really kick you're butt. Especially when running around like a mad man trying to stay alive. Takato had the strangest feeling that they were going to need more people. Just to two of them wont cut it. Takato looked at the screens. There were alot and whose to say they wern't hiding in the shops. Takato huffed and puffed as he then looked at Kida
"You're not hurt are you?" He asked her, worriedly.

"No...." Kida panted. Adrenaline was pumping through her system hard and fast, she could feel the unsteadiness start to spread into her limbs. She was pretty sure that if she hadn't had the in her blood at that moment, her arm would have been aching with the strain of trying to keep the Syn at bay. "I'm okay..." she said more to herself than to Takato. "You?"
Kida turned back to the screen and tried counting the Syn. She quickly lost her count as they moved and pounced and prowled about the mall. Thankfully, for the moment, there were still none in the hall and none near the door. That could quickly change however. "This isn't going to work....There are too many here and we're not equipped as we should be." Kida glanced at the bodies that were trapped inside the control room with them. It was a horror that her mind was having trouble absorbing. To think they these might once have been real humans, turned by the vicious infection.
"Maybe we should leave and trap them inside again.....Lord knows there are probably others loose in the city, but..." As much as Kida didn't want to quit this fight, she couldn't see a way to kill all of the Syn that were present. At least, not with out being turned in the process.

Takato shook his head. He had a few claw marks on his shoulders from them tackling him to the ground. But it didnt, do nothing more than just that. "Well, I'm not a freak, am I" He tried to joke. But who knows how well that joke was.
It sounded like the best idea he's heard all night. But the look on Kida's face wasn't too convincing that it was what she wanted to do. Takato's heavy breathing started to calm but just a little bit. He looked at the screen. Sure, there wern't any syn's in the hall. But there were plenty of them everywhere else. And whose to say these camera's don't have blind spots. He studied the screens for a moment. Thinking of a way to get out of here. Takato was surpised they got in so far without running into when they first entered.
"So how do you suppose we get out of her. The only idea i'm getting is run like hell, But who knows how far they will chase us" Takato said, Now thinking in deep thought. Their lives were at stake so he didn't want any mess ups. And even if they ran like hell, there's no guarantee that they wouldn't get caught by one of them. And that was enough for him to be totally against it.

The video screens told a very dangerous tale. They couldn't afford the mere chance of running for it. But they weren't going to be able to fight and kill all of the syn in the mall either. "We need a plan..." she shook her head. Maybe a diversion or distraction of some kind so that they could get out. The key that Kida had used to open the main doors into the mall was still in it's place. If they did manage to get there, Kida would be able to lock those doors once more and the Syn would be trapped inside.
"We are in the control room...Maybe there's something we can manipulate, move....or something to distract them." She started scanning the panels littered with buttons. "Lights....cameras...fountain, escalators...." Kida's mind wasn't working as it should, no plan was forming. "I get the feeling they won't be very interested in us playing with the lights." They still didn't know if those things could see in the dark or not.
"Any ideas....?

Takato looked around from screen to screen. He also then looked at the map that he had pulled off the wall. Trying to connect where's where. She was right, they were in the power room and they could cause a diversion. But how was the question. Takato then noticed something. There was a bathroom near by, Kida can manipulate water. "Hey Kida, Is it possible to create a wall with you're power?" He asked curiously.
If she could, then they could create a wall and push their way out. Only problem, Is Takato was still scared of water, and didn't know if he could take that much water.... again. He will never forget that pirate ride. But it was a life or death situation! and if they dont get out of here soon. It may as well be death. Takato forced the idea in his head. It just may be their only way out.

A wall? ...Of water? "Well....Water's not actually a solid, it's liquid. But I could try....it would be hard though." Very hard. Training enough water around them to keep them secure and keep it moving along with them was one thing. However, keeping the strength of said wall would be difficult. There was nothing stopping the Syn from swimming right through the wall. If it was to repel the Syn then Kida would have to keep the water pressure up to an unnatural degree, something she had never done before.
"Really hard.... But I guess it's our best chance." Please, please, please let this work... "You're going to have to cover me while I work too...." She could only hope that while they ran to the nearest bathroom that no Syn would scent them over the wretched stench of old blood. Kida shook her head. This is fucking nuts! Kida doubted that any of the scientists that created these things were still alive, but if they were she would find them and beat the crap out of them.
"People shouldn't play God...." she mumbled under her breath.

Takato then stood there for a moment. If she didn't feel comfortable doing it, then there was no point in forcing her. But then again. No plan was solid proof. Takato then racked his brain trying to think of another way to get the hell out of here. Takato was becoming frustrated. Thats when Takato noticed the mic on the power desk. He stared at it blankly for a second. It then suddenly hit him like a brick wall. Takato then noticed that there were switches. Switches to make the sound go off in one section. The mall was huge.
"Kida, Look at this, What if there was a sound going off in one area, Would they follow?" He asked her. Maybe just maybe they wouldn't have to rely on Kida's water powers. Or maybe they could do both?

Kida stared at the mic. "I don't know....It might work." She glanced back at Takato. "If it doesn't, we can see." she pointed up at the screens. "We'll know if the coast is clear." They would have to make a noise that would really attract attention. Since their prey was humans, then simple speech should do the trick. "Where do we want to send them, though?"
The food court was all too ironic and made Kida gag. "And further more, once we get out of here where are we going to go?" They were loose all over the city, no place would be truly safe here in Gradia. Maybe they could somehow get into touch with a scientist or a government official that knew where there were smaller infestations to tackle and get rid of.

She did have a point. Where would they go even if they did make it out alive? And they probably would be safer here then out in the town where they could get jumped at any moment. But was staying here really worth it? Who knows how long that door would last. "We'd go and try to find someplace safe? Any place has got to be safer than here" He said.
Takato looked at the map. He wanted an big open area where there wern't too many of them. Otherwise they would know something was up. Or atleast, thats what Takato though, and he wasn't about to under estimate them just yet. He laid his eyes on the parking lot. And though there was a button for 'parking' He didn't quite think they would really hear it. The lobby was too close to the door.
"Maybe here" He said pointing his finger at a store that was wide open.

"Send them there...? It's better than anywhere else. And it's a decent ways away from the doors.... Okay." Now, to figure out which switch actually went to that area and that area alone. It wouldn't do them any good if they sent the message over every speaker. Then the Syn would just be on red alert, looking for them everywhere and anywhere.
"And what are we gonna do if they don't go...? I mean... I can only assume they know the language since...that was what they were made for. So if they understand the speech, they should go....but what if they don't?" If they didn't they she supposed her water wall was going to have to work then.
