Looking at Asami, Proteus groaned and looked around, visibly bothered by her petulance towards her superiors. His hands behind his back, he began walking around, his eyes scanning the area as he climbed a large rock to have a nice sight at the vew. Narrowing his eyes, he sighed and came down before shaking his head to Diana, signaling that they did seem to be alone for the time being.
Staring at Asami for a second once more, he frowned before resuming his path.

Scratching the back of her head, Asami rolled her eyes at Diana's orders. The only thing they'd find around that place would be rocks, ashes mixed with old dirt and maybe a few bones of people they've never seen before. She'd come around with hope that a stupid pirate would come around and she could have an excuse to shoot without being judged by it or, with her luck, having the towns people joining the Pirates against the ruthless trained soldiers and having people blaming it on her. Pirates could be friendly if they wanted something and that could win people's trust. She was almost 100% sure no enemy would be wondering around a deserted area with so many innocent and probably clueless villagers to deceive.
She crossed her arms over her chest looking at the other three, waiting for anything to happen.

Diana noticed Proteus' unease with Asami around, but decided to ignore it for the time being, nodding her head at him, her posture relaxing slightly, but not much. At least the little surprise hadn't attracted any unwanted attention.
Diana looked around, walking over to a building and frowning. What had caused this city to fall . . . ? And what's more, why was there nothing here?
"This isn't right, there should be at least some sign of life here. Scavengers at least," she said, slightly under her breath with a frown.

Gantu just continued to walk, keeping his hand over his gun. This place really made him uneasy.

((Sorry for the delay guys.... >.< still laying sick in bed :'3))
Not far away from the group, someone or something was peeking down at them from one of the many old ruins, who looked like it was about to collapse at any second. It made no sound, and moved through the buildings as if it were swimming through water. when it reached the shadows, it dissapeard, becoming one with the darkness, as if it had never even been there. When the group had walked a little further, the closest building to them, suddenly collapsed...

Proteus raised an eyebrow, something about their surroundings enhancing the uneasy feeling that was now overtaking him. His hand passing on the rocky walls, he looked around as he swore he had felt something. Looking at his crew mates, he shook his head before walking to them, a frown on his face until something began trembling. To his horror, as he looked over his shoulder, he realized the building was collapsing.
"Everyone get back!" he yelled out to warn the others, sprinting forward, not able to ignore that Asami and Diana were in a serious predicament. He did care for Gantu, but he was sure he could handle himself should something fall upon him. Asami on the other hand...would have to be kept safer. Holding her wrist, he pulled her with him. "Run, damn it!"
Breathing huskily, he took cover in a small crack on the floor, large enough for him to enter. That way he would not be crushed.

Asami was very aware of all Proteus' moves. She was aware of the fact that he was looking around and feeling nervous, aware of his back moving as the air entered his lungs and of his hands closing in a tight fist as he looked back at the three companions.
She looked down as she felt the ground slightly shake under her feet and looked at Diana for direction. She decided she wouldn't be a bitch and obey to her superior but, looking at the old building's shadow growing longer in front of them, she thought maybe that wasn't the time to wait for someone to tell her what to do. She put her hand on her gun to feel the safety it provided, even knowing it wouldn't do her much in that situation and, as she prepared to run, she felt a tug in her wrist and had her body follow her arm as Proteus pulled her away from the falling building.
She took that pull to run as fast as she could.

(D8 Aw, I hope you get better Ami!!)
Diana looked up in alarm when she felt the ground shake and when she heard Proteus' yell. Her eyes moving quickly, she saw Proteus pull Asami out of the way. Diana sprinted out of the way of the collapsing building, ramming into Gantu with her shoulder to help push him out of danger's way. Probably not the best course of action, but Diana didn't want to take any chances that any of her fellow soldiers would be buried under that rubble. The feeling of the ground rumble beneath her feet had brought back bad memories, and as such had made Diana act on instinct.

Proteus pressed his back against the wall of the small fissure he had hidden in, groaning as he felt the impact of the collapsing building had reached levels far superior to those he had ever anticipated. At this rate, all the crew'd get crushed by the falling rocks. He'd act as a team player, which was something he usually disliked doing.
Raising his head and peeking over the fissure, he groaned seeing the chaos ensue. Slightly moving out of it, he raised his voice. "In here! You'll get crushed by the falling rocks! Get inside if you want to live!"

Asami tried to jump over the small rifts on the floor. They were small, yes, but it was a big obstacle for someone who was trying to run from a building that gravity generously pushed down faster than any human being could ever run.
She heard Proteus' voice in the background but it was hard to understand what he was saying over the sound of big pieces of rock falling everywhere and the ground rumbling. She would be displeased too if something like that was falling over her. Therefore the running and the stumbling over everything. Quickly looking back she saw Proteus' arms waving in a motion that suggested he wanted people to get in the small space with him.
She snorted and leaned forth looking around for a way out. "The last thing I want is to get in another hole with you."

Diana nodded at Proteus, frowning when she saw how small the fissure was. Would Gantu fit inside it . . . ? Groaning in frustration, Diana ran for the fissure, turning to yell at Gantu. "Get inside the fissure as much as you can, it should protect you from most of the damage," she cried, knowing they didn't have enough time to search for a bigger hole as she ran inside the fissure.

Gantu did not expect so much to happen so quickly. First, a building began to fall, then he was pushed by one of the crew, and now he had to run into a hole almost too small for him. Great, he thought, running towards it. I'll never hear the end of this one... He stopped to pick up part of what had already fallen before to shield him and maybe extend cover for him once he reached the fissure. Here goes nothing... Gantu reached the whole and placed the piece of debris over him as he got in as far as he could. He only got half way in when the building hit the ground. Somehow, he ended up mostly undamaged. His left arm was definitely wounded, but he didn't cry or scream in pain and the arm was still usable...barely. It still could be a club just in case someone came by.
((...Really, Dio? Did we have to go into the fissure? I feel dirty writing all these sentences about getting into a hole.))

Out from the shadows, the same creature reapeard once again, watching the group trying to take cover from the falling rocks. Looking over the horizon as the sun had began to set, more exactly identical shadows appeard behind the first one, before all of them started to spread out, looking only liking blurry shadows jumping and moving swiftly through the buildings, circling the fissure.

(I succeed at making you all feel awkward. Again. T'is mah swag.)
Proteus closed his eyes shut, biting down on his lip as the impact of the building shook everything around them. He really wanted to rip Asami's head off. The petulance of that little arroant snob was being too much for him in a situation like this. Part of him was shocked after he saw Gantu fit in the hole...well, most of him. The impact certainly damaged the large man, which further complicated stuff for the Marine team. He'd have to do something about it, eventually´.
After the impact finally ceased, he dared open his eyes and confirmed Diana and Gantu were in the fissure, sighing as he looked at the tunnels ahead. "Well...we're trapped..." he murmured before glancing over at the large crew mate. Walking to Gantu, he stared at the wounded arm and sighed in a small ounce of stress. "Can you walk? We should get out of here but not before we fix that."
Looking at Diana for a second, he removed a flashlight from his pack to illuminate the area around them. "I'll try to see if there is somewhere safe to move out of here..."
Little did he know what was marching towards them from the outside, though...and little did he know what was happening to Asami. That startled him.
Looking out of the fissure for a second, he widened his eyes, cursing under his breath at the dark beings. "Damn it..."

"Of course I can walk," Gantu insisted, gesturing to his arm. "It's just a flesh wound." Gantu looked around. "So are we all here? Diana? Asami?"
