Albion Empire

Somewhere outside the city of London

”Everyone remembers the plan?” Linri asked after putting his mask.

They all put their masks on and nodded. They were going to break into a government facility and there were no rooms for any errors. Everyone checked their equipment one last time. They each had a gun or a knife with them aside from Linri. If he could he would also like to use weapons but since he was a novice they would be more of a burden than a help. No worries though he still had his ability which was more reliable for him considering he was honing his ice powers with death battles every night.

The ability itself did not get stronger but Linri got more creative with his usage and was more familiar with it. Now as long as he knows the position of his target he doesn't even need to turn around to fire his Icicle strike. A stark improvement from his fight against the cougar in the forest of Rundabar... or was it a cougar? Anyway not important.

Luke, Hayato, Leslie, Selim and Linri got off the van. They were covered in black military gear. The only thing you can see were their eyes. When they were coming here Hayato used his ability jam every camera to play a loop just when they were passing to erase their trace. Still just to be even more sure they had also stolen the van they were using. They were extremely careful with each step of the preparations. To be fair Linri tried to account for every possible scenario but because he was new to this stuff Hayato was the one doing most of the stuff.

To make a quick getaway and be aware of any unforeseen situation, Lance was going to be a lookout. If things go south Lance was going to run away by himself and meet them at a designated location. If they do not show up he was going to deem the mission a failure and leave.

They were in front of an old castle-like manor right now. It was made during the Victorian age, hence the weird architectural design.

The 4 quickly climbed through the wall and made it into the backyard while Selim just phased through the wall. The backyard was unattended so the wild grass was thriving here. At the centre of the garden, there was a broken down statue of a knight. Its head and one of the arms were missing. It was holding a sword that was faced towards the ground. Linri thought that if it was whole it would look dignified.

The group moved through the shadows and made their way into one of the windows. The manor was shaped like a T and according to the floor plans, Linri got this window should open to a supply closet.
