On his way down the the generators Legion would run into two faces he didn't know heading down there as well. However it was quite obvious that there were not the enemy here and while Legion,on the whole, didn't play well with others he was no fool. In this situation allies, as long as they were useful were of use to him. If they weren't then he had no qualms about leaving them behind, or even getting rid of them himself if they got in the way. But for now they were particularly useful to him.
When they made it downstairs it was dark, with only those red back up lights on. Now that was something that made Legion grin, especially when there were enemies in here. You see, unlike the others, Legion was a being of darkness. This was where he was at home. If he was in the darkness, he knew where everything was. It was almost like sight, but more of a radar. He couldn't see with his eyes, but he knew what was there, what size, etc. It was one of the reason why he preferred operating in the dark if all possible.
But those explosives? Those were concerning. Not that they'd knock out the power, that had been Legion's goal from the get go, but what was more concerning was that they'd take down the building. How much of it? Legion wasn't sure, but for now they were the enemy and they had to be stopped. Unless they only took out the power but that was wishful thinking. While it was his eventual goal to destroy the school, this was not acceptable. Not by them, especially when they, the experiments were under attack for whatever reason. First things first though take care of this guy, make sure Azura was okay and try and figure out what this,father,wanted.
But First there was this behemoth to deal with, the one who had just cleared the room for a little play time. Instantly getting Legion ready for anything, figuring if this guy was going to clear the ten plus others then he had to be strong. Or at the very least arrogant but Legion wasn't going to underestimate him...

"Brick" just grinned at the pretty little Asian boy making his demands.
"Ain't you jus' adorable? I could jus' pinch yer little cheeks!"
At the last word, Brick's fist would clench and he'd step forward, throwing a heavy, direct punch straight for Kazuki's face. As he did so, Rick would begin to strafe, moving to get into a more advantageous position behind the big lug.
Meanwhile, Azura headed to the roof, noticing the building rapidly clearing of Alek's men along the way. Once she got there, she would see two men dragging an unconscious Cael and throwing him into a van. Once inside, the van, and five other vans just like it, peeled out of the parking lot. These were clearly Alek and his goons. Unfortunately for her, as soon as they exited towards the city proper, they all began to turn in different directions, each one taking a separate route, none looking as if they planned on intersecting at all. Alek could be in any one of those vans, if he was even in one at all.
She saw the one Cael was in, but it seemed to be the hardest to track, turning off behind some tall buildings as quickly as possible.

Azura hit the roof just in time to see the men loading into the vans, and though her initial thought was to try and find Alek, she was stopped dead in her tracks by a familiar figure being thrown into one of the vans before it would peel out of the area and take off around a series of buildings. She wanted to go after it, knowing she could catch up if she tried...but the instant that she saw it was him being taken, that little "catch" to her being a fallen angel kicked in.
See, Azura didn't choose to keep her word because she wanted to, because she simply had a strong moral code of ethics that she chose to follow. No, she did it, because if she wanted to remain good, and pure and innocent, like she had been all these years, she could never allow herself to break one of the very few rules that governed who she was, which was the need to fulfill her promises to those she made them to. It was why she did not hand them out lightly. It was why she was so very guarded with her words and who it was she allowed herself to get close to. The consequences, they were beyond anything even she could imagine, and she had worked her entire life to try and avoid them, only having slipped one time in the past. But that single time had been enough to ensure that she didn't ever want to let it happen again.
Ever.
Yet, she had promised him. She had told him, that she would make sure, that nothing happened to him because of all this stuff happening with the experiments...because of her. And that was exactly what this was...this was because of her. Oh sure, Alek could say it was for all the others, but in the end, she knew that if Father was alive, he wanted her back more than he cared for any of the failed experiments. No, this had nothing to do with anyone but herself, and whatever promise she had made to him was now broken, and as the knowledge of this sank in....something inside of her just....snapped.
Despite her pure nature, her love of the light, and her innately good nature....there was darkness inside of Azura, but it stayed locked away because she lived her life according to the rules which governed her darker half. But she had broken one, and so with the vow broken as were the chains that locked away whatever evil lived within her.
There was nothing gradual about it, nothing slow and progressive. No, it was as sudden as a tidal wave crashing into the shore, every bit of darkness she had ever built up from years of misdeeds, from years of taking in the guilt and shame of those around her...all the darkness she took from Legion anytime they were near one another....all the darkness that she felt within him now. It all came rushing forth and quickly stamped out any light, any good that usually filled her heart and soul.
No, there was nothing but a dark, twisted evil now consuming her heart, eating away at her soul and compelling her to do all the things, that normally, Azura would never think to do. Would never imagine doing. To kill, to torture, to destroy. It was such a sudden and powerful change, that quite literally it knocked her off her feet, causing her to collapse to the ground, her hands scraping upon the rough textured rooftop.
Hazel eyes grew darker until they no longer existed, instead a bright amber color took their place, and as she struggled to catch her breath, to regain her composure in some fashion or another, a heavy, dark growl would rush past her lips.
They were all going to die. Every single one of them. The streets would be washed crimson with their blood, and she would enjoy every second of it, right up until the moment that she was able to atone for her sin, and to make right her promise...then, and only then would the darkness subside...Until then however, it would continue to eat away at her, and little, by little, it would start to eat away at her sanity.

"... Sorry, I don't swing that way. You should try flattering another Asian guy."
Seeing the giant man's fist clench up at his last word and step forward, throwing a heavy, direct punch for Kazuki's face, there was no doubt in Kazuki's mind the guy was strong, but his moves were predictable, even more than Raven's was. Easily evading the punch by simply ducking down, Kazuki would keep the big guy's attention on him while letting the Head of Security, and possibly Patrick/Legion get into an advantageous position, so the three of them could take this giant down.

As Kazuki ducked, Brick wouldn't let the dodge stop his assault. His weight thrown into the punch, he was already moving forward, all he had to do now was lift his knee in a heavy knee-strike, aiming for Kazuki's nose once he reaches the lowest point of his jump.
However, Rick would capitalize, whether Kazuki is hit or dodges, by jumping onto Brick's back and locking him in a choke hold. "Go to sleep, you big nasty fuck."

Yeah, Legion wasn't currently involved in this fight. Why? well there was a simple explanation for that. When the fight had begun he had been slightly incapacitated. You see he had taken a step forward to deal with the man when he had felt Azura snap. Not entirely sure why, but he felt it all that same. Felt that darkness engulfing her instantaneously, felt it pulling all the darkness surrounding him away. It felt like the core part of his being literally being ripped away from him. Taken from him by Azura in her loss of sanity, or whatever was happening on the roof.
The feeling of all this dropping him to his knees, gasping for breath. A visible change in the feeling of the air around him, being less oppressive, the air free of malice and hate. All that remained was what Azura had promised him, or so he thought. That light in his heart, somewhere way deep down inside. It was all that was left. Making him realize the bad he had done in his brief life span, what he could remember at least. Guilt inside of him small, but starting to grow as the seconds began to pass, as it became more and more evident that while he was still a demon, that was still there, the darkness was gone, at that made him feel empty inside, nothing left but the guilt and pain of what he had done.
Slowly with the action going on around him he knew that he would have to atone. He didn't know how, but he'd have to find a way, somehow. But first, he'd have to take care of this guy. That was what was keeping him from going to Azura now. Being unable to abandon these two while there was still fight left in him, something that Legion would have normally been able to do. But but now he couldn't, so he'd have to find a way to end this quickly and get to her. Somehow knowing that there would be massive guilt involved for his actions but he'd do what he had to anyway. He didn't know how but he knew that that was just his way.
Making his way to his feet Legion would take account to what was going on around him, noticing that the one guy was trying to get the guy in a sleeper hold. Not wanting to mess that up Legion would get in position near the guy to help him if that failed, either by attacking the big man or defending the head of security, whatever happened really...

Managing to dodge "Brick's" punch by ducking down, noticing "Brick" lift his knee up in a heavy-knee strike, aiming for Kazuki's nose, he wasn't going to let the giant smash his nose in. With little time to completely evade the knee strike, lifting his hand up, Kazuki would move to the side while attempting to catch the giant's knee in his flame-engulfed hand, going the opposite direction of the giant's leg that he did not use to strike with, and try to burn through his pants and give the giant a nasty burn while the Head of Security seized the chance and tried to knock the giant out.

"Brick" cries out as his knee started to burn, straight through his jeans. He tried to roar and go after Kazuki, but the head of security's tight chokehold kept him from being able to do much. Instead, Brick simply reached up and tossed Rick into Kazuki, sending them both tumbling against the wall, before running off, nursing his knee the entire way.
"I'll be back!! Don't think for a second I'll forget this!!! ....bastards."
((Quest Complete, yaaaay. Everybody gets +10 EXP, except for Kazuki and Legion, who get +12 for sticking around to fight the Brickster.))
EDIT: and cuz I forgot to mention it last night, everybody gets $1000 as well.
