Meko hadnâ€™t heard Xander and honestly by the time the guy had realized that it was a set up. Still...he knew that setup or not in the long run it was worth it. He whistled and with a howl the wolf left Taylorâ€™s body. Yet it stopped and licked over Taylorâ€™s eyes. Clearing it up enough he could see on his own before vanishing into Mekoâ€™s form to give him energy. Meko himself stumbled and shook it off. He heard the self destruct thing. A smirk forming over his lips. â€œThey set us up BUT...we still win. You see...sure I activated the failsafe here at the base...what they donâ€™t know is...â€ He shook his head to clear the slight dizziness. â€œScinoâ€™s fail safe is gonna ripple effect. This is a base but...they have others...right? They have the technology used by their corrupt military all over.â€<br/><br/>He took a deep breath. â€œWhich means...there is going to be a ripple effect. Scinoâ€™s fail safe is going to activate...anywhere his technology is implicated. This is basically what you would call ground zero. The rest of it...well...they gonna do the same thing this base did. They donâ€™t know that yet. It wonâ€™t be instantaneous but it is going to happen. We will get out of here but I can gaurentee you when we turn on the television we gonna hear tell of it. You know how when you drop a rock into a body of water and those rings ripple outwards from the source of impact in all directions? Well this base is our rock and the ripples are sending outwards even as we speak. So you see...you activate the fail safe in one location...you trigger it in all locations. Anywhere that technology is. So...we still win. The purpose of getting here is still accomplished.â€<br/><br/>He was tired but he looked up as Taylor and Xander kept speaking. â€œOr they using old fashioned dynamite.â€ He said as a helpful additive comment. He listened to them speak. A grave look on his face but it suddenly went away as Taylor spoke. His eyes frosted over and then returned to normal. He nodded his head. â€œYeah. Rune says he can grow and form around us like a shield. Instead of wolf form he will become a literal dome type shield that is able to shield us. Iâ€™ll be the one needing help then captain. We need to get out of here. I am not going to lie captain...there is a very high probablility that I will pass out. I just hope it will not happen until we are out of here and safe. I will push myself...just like you taught me.â€ He triggered the summoning and the whiteish yellow ribbons began forming and wrapped around the three of them over and over again. The mark on Mekoâ€™s face glowing as his eyes did as well. The ribbons forming see through but impenetrable shield over shield over shield as claw like spikes formed out of the dome. It had ears and a tail that was formed in a wrap like way.<br/><br/>A howl made Meko look up. He nodded his head. â€œRune says as long as we stay within the five feet wide dome we shall be protected. He also said that nobody else can enter the dome. He is using every ounce of his power to protect us. He says itâ€™ll withstand even the force of an explosion and bullets should not penetrate it. Although he will admittedly be unable to be summoned for a few days. I say it is worth it to keep our asses.....alive.â€ He said. He sunk to his left knee for a second before pushing himself up. Shaking his head and staggered a bit. Leaning into Taylor. â€œLetâ€™s go.â€ He said.<br/><br/>His breathing heavy and he looked even paler than he normally did. He was wore out. Rune had left only a slight amount of energy. Enough for him to stagger or limp but he would in no way be able to truly walk. It was extremely likely he would collapse without assistance. He reached deep within himself and pulled upon the inner strength he had. He was slightly dizzy and there was several beads of sweat upon his form. Still he moved with Taylor and Xander. His steps slow and sluggish. He was not superman and he had done tons of exertion on a very painfilled injured body. A body that had only been healed enough to escape. A body whose energy he had depleted over and over again when he began using Rune. Did he regret doing any of it? No. He didnâ€™t. He merely knew he had over exceeded his limits and then some. It was highly likely he would be out for two to four days because of this. He did not feel now was the time to mention this fact. He just hoped his weak, exhausted and now agonizingly painfilled body could hold out until they were safe. He would do his damnedest to make it do so.<br/><br/>â€œLetâ€™s go captain... Crazy ass cat man...â€ He said. His breathing a bit heavy. He still pushed himself. He knew he had to push himself. They needed to escape. They needed to get out of here. He, however, was not used to such combat zones as these two ex-military men were. For a teenager he had done exceptionally well. Yet...he was not used to this sort of thing. He had never gone through torture before and though he had kept up a strong face and his body was mending itself...inside he was screaming from pain. Inside he was dead tired and not feeling well from what he had been through. The lack of food just added to his bodies exhaustion. He was running off the fumes of fumes in his bodies resources. Yet still he had been pushing himself. He had been pushing himself for not only his captain but the crazy as enemy turned ally for who knows how long. He pushed himself as he did not wish to fail them.<br/><br/>Yet...the truth of his situation was becoming very clear. What he had been hiding and masking from them began to come to light. It was now extremely clear the struggle Meko had been undergoing and still was. Yet he still showed determination to push himself even further beyond his endurance and strength levels. His head was dizzy and he was having to shake his head repeatedly to stay where he could see. He knew that even if he passed out Rune would still be a protective dome. That just because he was unconscious didnâ€™t mean Rune would go away. â€œCaptain...if I pass out...Rune will still keep us safe. In fact when I am unable to protect myself or I am unconscious is when Runeâ€™s strength goes up tenfold. I do not know why this is but it is.â€ His voice showed the struggle he felt.<br/><br/>â€œLetâ€™s keep moving. Whatever you planning captain...letâ€™s bring it on.â€ He swayed for a second then caught his balance. He wasnâ€™t superhuman...not in the slightest.
