Zanipher's blade was out even as she ducked a side hook from Respersio, and she followed up with a sharp elbow to the solar plexus. A blow like that would force his diaphragm up, effectively depriving him of oxygen for a crucial few seconds. As the black-haired male doubled over and gasped for breath, Zan raised her weapon and brought it down hard on his skull, causing a whitish shockwave to spread from that spot. She drove a knee into his gut, and twisted as Respersio fell forward and landed on all fours.

She watched impassively as he struggled from his position. This, the leader of Team RASB, was a heavy hitter, but sorely lacking when it came to fighting in an enclosed space, and she had made sure to drive him back into a corner. He would be the one she would get the footage from.

Respersio suddenly half-rose, and with a throaty roar he pulled his fist back and drove it straight at Zanipher. She turned so that it barely missed grazing her, and instead slammed into the wall behind her, punching a hole into the plaster and sending bits of paint raining down. Zan used the guard of her sword and drove it up against Resper's elbow, sending another shockwave across his form. She leaped back and extended her free hand, condensing the air upon the boy so that he was effectively trapped in place.

"The footage. Where is it?" she said coldly.

Respersio gave only a groan of pain in response, and Zanipher pointed her blade at him so that the Dust crystals on its shaft were visible.

"Fen, Bernhardt, Automne, and now Saria," she said, looking behind for for a split second to confirm that Diaboli had the Faunus in his grip.

"You know what we do to people who try to get in our way. Their lives are in your hands."

Still no response.

"Are you going to let us do as we wish with them?"

Silence.

Zanipher hmphed quietly, then sent a bolt of lightning straight at Respersio's head, and with a bright flash and the smell of burnt hair he fell forward onto the hardwood floor with a loud thump. She pivoted and walked to where Diaboli had Saria in his vice grip.

"Where is it?" she hissed, as she watched the boy's eyeballs twitching rapidly from the oxygen deprivation.

He barely choked out an answer. Pointing with a trembling hand towards a Scroll plugged into a computer.

"There."

Zanipher immediately made her way to the monitor, smashing the Scroll with a clenched fist before mousing quickly through the many windows on the screen.

"I'll purge the hard drive and make sure they didn't send it to anyone," she said. "It'll take a few minutes." Then, after a slight pause:

"There's one more close friend of Fen's. Platinum Roads. So far it looks like everything is still here, but do you think we ought to pay her a visit?"
