<br/>​</div><br/>Shiro had barely managed to pull the alpha's leg out from under it when Red hit the beast like a missile, batting it upright before slamming and pinning the monster to the wall. Even fatigued, she was a force to be reckoned with. Now free he quickly let<i>Second Chance</i>reel back to his palm, turning to head for the door where Leader was currently standing, their shout heard clearly from the other side of the room, "Red, Glasses, door's open!" The boy had actually unlocked it! That was the good news. The bad news was that without a viable anchor to hook onto, he would be forced to hoof it across the room. It wasn't that Shiro was particularly slow, but time seemed to be a luxury they had long since run out of. Shoulder still wounded, he dashed across the space as fast as his legs could carry him, trying to also give a wide birth to the grimm being held at bay by the lightning from Leader's orb.<br/><br/>He practically skidded to a stop at the door, turning back and throwing harder than he had ever thought possible.<i>Second Chance</i>soared through the empty space towards Red, whipping around her waist two, three, four times before it suddenly pulled tight. Shiro reached over and quickly wrapped his end of the chain around one of Leader's gauntlets, looking to the boy and nodding as this plan had absolutely no chance of working without their help, "On three! One... two... THREE!!" The hope was that pulling together, along with the reel-in of the chain itself, would be enough to get Red across the gap before any grim could react and give chase. It'd be tricky, and frankly painful, but it was the only plan he had, and she couldn't head to the door if she was busy keeping the still growing alpha pinned.<br/><br/>And they were<i>not </i>leaving without her.<br/><br/>In the back of his mind, Shiro reflected on what they had been told when this all began... how the way out was the light at the end of the tunnel. Taking stock of their chances now, he faced the growing dread that his suspensions were true. It was possible that the only way out was to<i>die</i>down here. Shiro abhorred death in a way few would ever understand. It was a vendetta with him. Yielding to such a force went against everything he stood for... but that was the worst part about death wasn't it? It wouldn't be denied, no matter one's principles.
