[Ichinose can have a gun with bullets, as a treat.
They enter without any problems and don't immediately encounter anyone. In the interest of saving time, they'll soon come across a room where the door has been chained and locked shut, aka screaming THIS IS NOT MEANT TO BE OPENED.
But if they take down the chains and use a key on the lock... they'll find a bunch of hybrids inside, looking terrified.]
You're... You're not the traffickers, right?
My grandfather! Have you seen my grandfather? They got him too when they abducted me!
[Among other such exclamations.
One girl starts crying, and it looks as though she might have some kind of telepathic superpower, because all four of them will find images flashing through their minds, sensations running through their senses.
Your father is shot down before you, when the assailants begin bickering with one another.
"Geez, what did you do? This was one of the mythical ones—the ones who can transform. You should've waited until he did that. They're not worth much dead while human, but some people will pay for the transformed ones if they're stuffed."
Your wrists are cuffed together, and a spiked collar is tightened around your neck, digging into your throat. It hurts, it hurts, it hurtsithurtsithurts—
A human woman and a killer whale hybrid man are talking to a man who won't be familiar to Lux or Lalli, but Ichinose and Yamato will recognize him as Rae.
The woman holds out a bloodied sleeve. Rae reaches out, and in a flash of light, the blood is gone.
"Ugh, I'll be glad when we're done working with those people. They get on my nerves," the woman complains. "They keep giving Orca shit too, about being a hybrid capturing other hybrids, so I stabbed one of them to shut him up. As if humans don't also just hurt other humans for the hell of it..."
"We'll be finished with them soon enough," Rae says. "Ah, my heart goes out to the hybrids, it really does... but all of them—be it them or those criminals—are just stepping stones for our goals, after all."
Wowee.
But once that wears off, the group will learn a few things.
Most importantly, most of the hybrids were abducted with elderly or more feeble family members—the kinds who wouldn't be able to put up a fight. However, none of those relatives are here in this room, so... they're probably being held elsewhere?
One of the hybrids mentions that he can fight (he was just caught off-guard when he was ambushed), so he assures the group that he can watch over the other captives and protect them if anything happens. For now, though, the four should see about taking out the remaining traffickers; it might be too dangerous for the hybrids to escape the building until then. Also, you know, find the missing captives.]
