After stepping out into the hallway, Arbalest informed the group of her necessary diversion and split off. Rider led the rest of them downstairs and through the exit at a brisk pace, at which point they stopped and waited for her to arrive. Luckily, it didn't take long before she rejoined them, this time sporting her oversized crossbow.<br/><br/>"Alright, any other pit-stops before we leave? No? Good, let's go." The sentence he had just spoken was done in quick succession, not particularly giving anybody a chance to answer. Just as well; they had a decent distance to travel, and they needed to get there fast. Knowing Plague and Arbalest weren't quite as fast as himself and Joker, Rider silently led them through the winding streets, until they eventually came to the northern edge of the city.<br/><br/>Arlen was surrounded by a tall, circular wall that had four exit gates, one in each of the four cardinal directions. Each exit had a guard station with a winch that opened the gate; the guard that was on duty had heard the announcement and noticed them coming, so the gate was already slowly raising as they approached. After they passed by and it closed shut once more, the guard popped his head out and called out to them; "Hey, Breakers! Good luck out there!"<br/><br/>Once they were a ways away from town, Rider broke into a sprint, trusting that the rest of them would follow suit. It had already been a solid 5 minutes since they got the alert; the longer they took, the higher the chances of a casualty were. "I'm guessing none of you have ever fought a Behemoth before?" he asked them as he ran.
