"Understood." Raggy nodded, listening to Lena's instructions. Fe's outburst he had found largely unnecessary, but Marv's reaction... well, that worried him.
"You okay there?" He tapped his shoulder gently, giving his teammate a concerned expression. "Don't worry. We'll get our chances to shine."
Turning back to Lena the gray-hair nodded. "Ready when you are."
Time To Take Charge
Johann didn't seem to be giving orders - or maybe he wasn't here, Samuel wasn't too sure. What he did know was that there was no time for slow deliberation - they had to move fast, and preferably now if possible.
Joy. Until Johann decides he's going to speak up I guess I'm gonna take the reigns for now. Keep the seat warm for him.
"Zoe!" he shouted. "On me. Johann's quiet so I'm taking over, maybe that'll bring him out of his stupor. Either way, we're gonna help out." He headed over to Lena first off, seeing as she very much had a plan. "Anything me and Zoe can do to assist?"

"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Aquatic Apathy.
James looked slightly annoyed that the Doctor had indeed ignored his requests or suggestions and sighed as he glanced over at Dia, having swapped his glasses for goggles in a the few moments people were per-occupied.
"...Sorry. I-I wish w-we didn't have to do that, D-Dia, but if it knows y-you're around, we can at least...get it to somewhere we've got a c-clear advantage. But, yes, we'll get through together. As a team. ...so...let's...try not to snap at each other or...step out of line, a-alright?"
Adjusting his backpack, goggles and gear ready to go as he weakly nodded at Diana, realizing he wasn't going to win the argument. "...okay, I-I trust you, and...well, you back down, s-so..I-I'll try not to worry..."
The human tried to focus his resolve and keep calm, keeping his distress and panic crushed into a ball, putting on a neutral expression.
"R...Right, let's...get ready to move out, then."
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day."Stupid cats" Fe muttered as She rolls up her sleeve. Once it up it reveals a mechanism holding a p90, and a couple different knuckles duster. Fe quickly pull the p90 out of it casing.
"Try not to wreck it you stupid cat", She says as shove into the cat girs hands. Fe then switch to her knuckles mode.
They can't for the life of them understand why nobody liked being ruled by a group of manic depressive demigods - 4chanDia affirmed her leader's decision in a slightly worried, but more confident tone. "Affirmative, and I'm ready, leader James."
She took out her pre-assembled armor pieces from her backpack and wore them. Now that she was with weapon, armor, and team, Dia was feeling more confident.
There was one last thing left to do. Dia removed her hair tie, letting her long green hair flow down.
(Ok... we all got this. We're going to make sure the nightmare dies today. And after that, Blue Hair is going to get it.)

...ehehEvac Plan: Sorry, I'm In Charge
Lena and those around her would hear Johann's familiar voice. Although obviously less calm. He was not one to laugh at a serious situation. That much was obvious in his expresson.
"I'll take this from here Sam. Apologies. I was off asking the one responsible for these idiotic security protocols."
Jo then turned to Relena. Had a vacant expression for a brief secobd and then spoke.
"More importantly. We need to evacuate this place. I thought we'd leave it to the guards but they also need to be rescued." The prince sighed.
"I say we seperate to try and cover a larger area more quickly. That might lead us to trouble in case we need to fight. But if those civillians are in danger. It's preferable to get them out faster"
"As far as helping those in there. I've been taught enough about emergency first aid treatment to help those underwater to recover. Do you two have first aid knowledge?" He asked as he turned to Samuel and Zoe.

Welcome Back, Commander.
"'Ey boss, good to see you're back." Samuel stepped aside to let him through; if he was the team leader then he was going to ensure a smooth transition.
At the question of whether or not he had first aid training, he nodded. "Yep. Got standard Atlesian military first-aid. Not quite on the level of a medic, but so long as their guts aren't hanging out of their bellies I can patch 'em up. I'll just have to get crafty."
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Locating the 3 Grimm on the security cameras, the doctor found that the Fathom was in the Penguins exhibit, the Knifehead was in the deep sea creatures exhibit, and the Gigabolt was in the river creatures exhibit. All 3 areas were partially flooded with water, and civilians were trying to rush out of each area as quick as possible. The Doctor then quickly informed the group of the Grimm's whereabouts.
"Alright, you all need to get the civilians out of each area, kill the Grimm, and tend to any injured guests trapped in these three areas. I'll stay here and monitor everyone's progress on the security cameras. Good luck.", Doctor Lightyears said, straight to the point.
Iris took out her drone and wand, nervously shaking as she prepped herself to go. At least Morgan would be fighting alongside her.

Selene passed by Fe on her way to join her teammates, calmly placing her hand on the dog Faunus's shoulder. "Insult my sister again, and I will put your ass into the ground. The only reason I haven't so far is because we have something to do." She whispered before reaching her team.
"So what's the plan? What are we going for?"
Dia spoke up to James with more confidence and also with anger towards the Fathom that had menaced her 10 years ago. "Looks like we'll be going to the penguin exhibit, then. He'll go for me, and this'll take his mind off the civilians. We have to make sure it doesn't get away this time."
She was concerned. The Fathom would keep in mind those survivors if it failed to kill them. But its hatred for Dia ran deeper, and Dia was counting on this.

...ehehAquarium of Vale - Grimm Tanks
"You betcher ass it won't get away," Gage's face was set with determination. "Teach that thing to mess with us and Vale!"
And just then, from the Fathom's former holding tank, there looked to be a highly-modified Beacon locker bursting from the hole it had made. It seemed to be looking for someone.
Someone whose belt was blinking red, yellow, and green. The delinquent snorted and ran his hands over his bandanna. "Looks like the party's here."
There was a message on his Scroll.
[Make egress and find your target. The Vault will follow you.]
Gage turned to Dr. Lightyears. "Yo, Doc, can we use the vents can get to the penguins?"

Asskicking Time: Soon
"Zoe," Samuel said, "if that gatling of yours keeps a Grimm off me enough to save a life I will seriously consider letting you have your way with me as thanks."
After a pregnant pause, he added. "Or maybe I'll just, like, get you an ice cream or pull a favor for you sometime. Either/or."
"Seven is here too, dressed like the concept of choosing clothes that look nice together was an arcane secret far beyond their grasp."Mission...Start?
"...Alright, let's s-see..." The blue-haired boy paused before his memory kicked in, grabbing a map he'd gotten at the entrance of the Aquarium and tried to figure out where they were. With the mention of the penguin exhibit, he pointed to it on the map.
"...okay, so...we only need you to d-distract it...for about 20...maybe 30 seconds. That should be enough to...get everyone there out. I could...probably get them out on my own and knowing how s-strong you three are, y-you'd probably tear that G-Grimm to pieces before I got back from g-getting the civilians out of t-there..." He smiled, trying to lighten the tense mood a little.
He nodded in agreement with Johann. Covering more ground would make it easier to find those in need...
"S-Still, um, probably o-obvious, but have your scrolls o-on and on standby, I-I mean, communicating will definitely h-help in coordinating with other teams, so..."
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.She then heard her leader's orders and gave James a nod and smile of approval. "Thanks, James. Don't worry, I can probably distract it as long as we can. And while you rescue the civilians, we as Hunters will be able to take it on together."
Dia then got ready to enter the vents, her long hair flowing down.
(If you want me so bad, Chris, you can come and get me. But we're going to put up a fight.)
Meanwhile, there was this part of Dia that was not quite right...
(That bluehair guy... he's no better than the Grimm. If anything, he's a despicable human that deserves to die, and I'm going to make sure that I see his lifeless corpse impaled on a spike.)

...eheh"Yes, the vents lead to everywhere in this facility.", the doctor replied to Gage.
"Never let anyone tell you that something is impossible." - Monty Oum, 1981-2015Dia followed Gage into those vents. She vaguely recounted that song that her mentor had sung on Grimm training and hunting trips. "I think it involved putting foxes into boxes..."
She whispered to Gage "...speaking of which, a certain fox around here could probably use a box. Trying to attack Diana like that? That was just mean of Fe."

...eheh...Well, this vent is our best bet, but...no, everyone else will be fine. Focus...
Taking one last glimpse at the map before he kept sliding through the vents, leading the way and thankfully, his usual poor sense of direction wasn't being an issue this time.
"L-Like I said, shouldn't be t-too long and I can p-probably even give l-long range support until I get into the fight...also, er...dunno what that song is, um, sorry."
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.Aquarium of Vale - Grimm Tanks
Compared to the multi-colored blinking of the Crown Driver, Dia's light crystals were a godsend. Unfortunately, Gage had no idea how to stop the blinking. "That's helpful, Di."
"I also remember something a pretty cool lady once told me," he whispered as they made their way along the vents. "Act your soul, not your species."
"...You can't e-exactly yell at her j-just because she's a d-different faunus. I mean, that d-doesn't make you...um, m-much better than the people w-who look down at them a-as nothing more than animals." He quietly warned Fe as the vent stopped.
A quick glance out a gap showed the sign with a penguin on it, although the blue-haired boy didn't bash the way open just yet.
"...."
Hope you weren't expecting anything witty here. Maybe some day.

Aquarium
"Auntie Beth, please don't steal this from me. I finally get a chance to do something useful and you want to take it from me?" Marvin asked looking...genuinely hurt actually, his fears of never being able to move out of his family's shadow appeared to be coming to fruition. "Look, I'll help with the evac of course, but..." He sighed dejectedly. "Right, I'll go with my team then." He sighed in defeat before heading over to them, but not before catching Fe's actions and shooting a glare at her for attempting to hit his cousin.
