"I wouldn't get too hasty with that," Darian replied to Helena, his ears twitching slightly. "The best thing to keep this city from being overrun again is for people to be positive. I kinda doubt people will have a bunch of good feelings if they start demo-ing buildings in the city they're trying to retake, espeically after what happened at Beacon."

Alice nodded in agreement with her husband's statement. "It'd also probably be hard to rebuild this city if everything is in more shambles than already." Alice paused as she felt the various movments of the Grimm throughout the building. "And speaking of Grimm, the ones that are in the upper levels seem to know we're here. I think they're moving to try and get at us." She paused again as she shifted her gaze to the blobs she could sense moving below her. "Since we're already here, why don't we take care of the Grimm up here?"

Darian rolled his shoulders and twisted his neck, several joints popping as he did so. "I need to stretch out a bit," he commented. The couple quickly moved to a nearby stairwell and carefully made their way down the flight of stairs. When they got to the landing for the next floor the pair stopped, both of them posting on either side of the door. "Light," Darian stated, keeping his eyes away from the flashlight on Alice's rifle.

She nodded in response, turning off the light and holding the butt of her rifle against her shoulder tight. The two stayed quiet for a moment, listening and feeling for everything beyond the door. Once the moment had passed Darian quickly swung in, slamming his hands into the gap around the door and it's frame. He groaned as he yanked hard on the door, sheering the metal holding it in place.

As Darian ripped the door free, Alice swung her rifle around the door frame, being sure to keep as much of her body behind the wall as possible. Beyond the door was nothing but inky blackness, but she didn't need to see. Her semblance let her feel where the creatures in the room before her were, like a blip on a radar screen. In a single, well trained movement Alice brought her sights up to the middle of that blip, switched the saftey off of her weapon, and fired a controlled burst of rounds.

There was a satisfying report of bullets hitting a fleshy target and a nightmareish screech from the Grimm. Alice feathered the trigger twice more, placing two more controlled bursts into the beast before quickly snapping her sight onto another blob that was charging her position. This time she didn't even hesitate and rode her trigger, dumping half a magazine full auto into the Grimm.

"Creeps," Darian said, peering around the door frame. "And damn is it dark in there. I can't see more than thirty feet ahead." Darian grabbed two more red chemical lights from his pocket and activated them. He dropped one at their feet before tossing the other deep into area beyond the door. The dim red light was amplified by the fanus' eyes and revealed the state of this floor to be in a similar state to the top floor. "Looks like lots of broken down walls and doors here. Grimm moved in and made this place kinda cozy for themselves."

"Nothing that can't be fixed though," Alice stated optomistically as they passed through the threshold and began walking down the hallway. The faint red light and samshed in walls gave the whole area the apperance of a nightmare hell-scape. "If we clear this place out it could probably be a pretty good dormaotry. Cover the holes with something and people could have some privacy."
