The building is about ten floors tall. The building is large, smoked glass and made of steel. To the public knowledge, it's an office building for the trade market goods. In front and back entrances are cameras and magic detectors. Additionally, both the front and to the rear entrance has two bored looking security guards. The front entrance will lead to the main lobby. Whiles the back entrance will lead the staff private break room.
The security guard is your normal everyday joe. It's unlikely that they have any knowledge of the underground lab or anything that might be shady going on. Something like that is well above their pay wage. The one in front appears to be talking to someone over his radio, but doesn't sound like anything important, bu the one in the back is drifting to sleep.

Shinzu pondered over Taylor’s explanation of her abilities and would smile at the fact that obstacles would be of little hindrance for her. “Perfect.” The smile would quickly shift to a forced grin, however, as Taylor muttered something about a plan of attack. “P-Plan?” He stuttered, unsure of what to say. Despite being a guild master, Shinzu had little leadership qualities. As opposed to the ‘man with a plan’, he preferred to see himself as the sticky glue that somehow bound the guild together through sheer luck alone.
Mercifully, before Shinzu could reveal his stupidity by uttering a half assessed plan that he would put together on the spot, Taylor would have already revealed her strategy which appeared to make far more sense than anything Shinzu could ever come up with alone. However, before he could even comment on the plan, Taylor would relinquish the map as if to express how easy the task was. “The suspicious man mentioned sensors… I believe we should restrain from using magic…” The guild master was hesitant to bring up the idea. Both his and Taylor’s abilities were more than well suited for a mission such as this. Not having any real access to those abilities, however, would surely prove to be a huge handicap.
“Let’s not dismiss your plan with haste. The element of darkness will give you a huge advantage. Eliminating the power may even cause the magic-sensors to malfunction.” No, it definitely would. “Take a look.” Shinzu would hand the map back to Taylor with the intention of making her in charge of planning a route into the building. “Do you see where this building houses its energy source?” The guild master was hoping that the map contained enough detail in order for Taylor to identify where the defense system was drawing its power from. “If not, then I fear we must break in the old fashioned way.”
“Try to think of something. The back entrance is surely under surveillance, so I will not act until the electricity is down.” Of course, by ‘act’, Shinzu clearly meant assaulting and knocking out the asleep guard, which is exactly what he intended to do the moment Taylor would give the opportunity. “What to do…” He mumbled to himself as he peeked around the corner of the alley to glance at the rear of the building. Not only was he looking for cameras, but also any wires or objects that may somehow be linked to the building's security just in case Taylor would struggle to find anything on her own.

Taylor stopped, a small smile on her face. "Magic sensors? Good. I get to participate. Let's go." She studied the map again, thinking her plan through. It seemed to be flawless. Taylor knew how to blend in to the shadows without using magic. The only setback would be her inability to shoot magic bullets if she got caught. She just would not get caught then.
"Here." she pointed on the map. She recognized the power house from its design. It was the exact same as the one on Phantom Cloak's guild hall. It was held in a basement underneath the building. There was only one entrance: right behind the front door. Taylor sighed. They would not be able to get to the power source before the got into the building. "New plan. You guys draw all of the guards to the front, I'll enter through the back. Ok? Ok." She folded the map and put it in one of her pouches. "Make a lot of noise. You're good at that, Shinzu."
Once they were close to the building, Taylor split off from the group. Without speaking a word, she nodded to them for confirmation before sneaking to the back of the building. There, she waited for the guards to go to see what was happening up front.

Vivienne scoffed as she stepped forwards, ahead of Shinzu.. "We do not plan darling, we act.". She didn't bother explaining what she intended to do, she needed to think of a good word to write so that she could use it to her advantage. It would be one word that served to be their advantage, but several words coming together. It struck Vivienne like a chord, she knew exactly how to draw them out to her. But in her mind, once the deed is done there will be no encore for them again tonight. She began writing our her words with lightning speed, repeating some of them to serve the purpose of the distraction. It would be as if they were listening to classical orchestra.
The words the young mage had written were as followed; Flute, Oboes, Clarinets, Bassoons, Horns, Trumpets were all written twice. Timpani was written once, Violin written 22 times, Violas and Violoncellos were both written 8 times, with 6 double basses. Yes, this should certainly provide an ample distraction, she thought as she moved the words around and organized them. She smiled to Shinzu. "Be a dear and protect me, I'd rather this distraction draw out as many of them as possible.", she said as she turned back to her words, and raised her arms before pushing them down.
The music begin to ring out, one by one everything blended together in what would be considered a classical orchestra performing. Vivienne cared little for what kind of music it played, good or bad. Her only intention was to draw those guards out into the open so that her guildmaster could easily dispose of them and her guildmate could get inside. "Lets hope this works!", she shouted over the deafeningly loud music.

As the loud music plays, several guards come out of the front entrance. “What you are doing in the dead of the night?! Get out of here before we call the cops!” The buildings nearby whose lights were shut off begin firing up. The neighbors come out of their buildings to see what is going on. “Whose making a ruckus in the middle of the night?! I've got work in the morning!” Other neighbors are coming out of their building and they're cursing up a storm towards the young girl and taller man. Some are even threatening to call the cops on them and others are just complaining. Meanwhile, in the back the man who was fallen asleep is now wide awake and alert.

Shinzu nodded at Taylor’s suggestion. “A commotion in the front will leave the rear of the building unguarded.” The plan was simple, yet brilliant. Even more so when considering the fact that Shinzu was the master of causing a scene. “I shall leave the generator to you.” After entrusting the job to Taylor, the guild master would follow Vivienne out into the open. “Acting is my middle name.” He smirked, clearly enjoying his role in the team. Despite being the leader of Lion Heart, it was probably clear to the two that their master much rather preferred following orders as opposed to being the one to give them out.
“Flute? Violin?” Shinzu peered over the girl’s shoulders to glance over her writing. “Music magic? Music-make? Is she preparing to play a symphony?” The guild master was expecting the harsh clamour of crashing noises and explosions. Instead, his ears were met with the grace of a half decent orchestra. Of course, being rather tone deaf, it was difficult to say whether or not the music was as exquisite as he made out “Not bad.” He grinned before walking towards the entrance of the building in an attempt to make sense of the situation. “Ladies, gentlemen, my countrymen.” Shinzu’s voice was loud and proud. If it wasn’t for the fact that he was rather well-known for speaking in this manner, it would almost seem as if he was mocking or looking down on them.
“I request your audience.” He bellowed, attempting to speak over Vivienne’s extremely loud music. “Alright. Take action.” He thought to himself as he shot out several ghostly-figures. These phantoms would be invisible to the mundane guards, leaving them with no real option other than to allow themselves to get possessed by the spectres. “My phantasms will be unable to enter the building without triggering the sensors… However, anything and anyone outside is at my mercy.” With the grin plastered onto his face ever increasing, Shinzu would attempt to take control of the situation by turning the guards into his puppets.
“A bandit has just fled into your building. How you ask? The details of that are uncertain. However, undeniably, this is the safest building in the city for a fugitive attempting to outrun Lion Heart. Please, I ask of you to allow me into your premises or else I shall be forced to treat you as my foe.” Those in the city knew full well that attempting to prevent a Lion Heart member from catching a criminal could lead to accountability and serious repercussions. However, if this company had something to hide, which it almost certainly did, Shinzu would bet on the fact that there was no way that they would allow even the guild master of Lion Heart through the front doors at this hour.
“Last chance. Make your decision.” He yelled before shooting the men a glare. If nothing would happen, then the possessed guards would begin barking orders. “T-This is Shinzu Hayashi! Guild master of Lion Heart! Call for backup! Everyone in the building needs to come to the entrance right away! This is not a drill!” This would then turn into a cycle where in Shinzu would constantly possess several new guards each time a new group would be called to the entrance, before once again forcing them to call for more backup. With this being Shirotsume Town of all places, the civilians would also likely take Shinzu’s side upon hearing his speech. He and the rest of the guild had simply done far too much for this town for them to turn against him due to being awoken in the middle of the night.

Oh Great Endless Void, what is that horrible sound? Taylor thought as the makeshift symphony started to play. She was hiding in some bushes near the back entrance to the facility, waiting for the guards to clear out, when the orchestra started to play. With no real tune in mind, the instruments just began to play different notes, in all different keys. It was sounded absolutely horrible to Taylor. She just rolled her eyes.
She perked up as a guard put a hand up to his ear. He was receiving some sort of message. Taylor could not hear what he was hearing, but she guessed it had something to do with the sudden, loud noise in front of the building.
Excellent she thought, grabbing her gun. It was unloaded, due to the fact that she could not shoot anything out of it without triggering the magic sensing system. She would wait until the guards cleared, and then enter the building. It would be easy. It's time to roll.

Vivienne began to lower the music as Shinji spoke, eventually bringing it to a close as the words vanished. "I will have to work on keeping that many word up.", she said as she smiled. "If the citizens wish, they may speak to me personally about the noise.", she said as she watched the guards approach. We're certainly reeling them in. This is why you shouldn't mess with Lion Heart, she thought as she brought a hand up to cover her mouth and laugh. "Well, I suppose I can't do anything else. Let me know if there's something I can help with.", she said as she seated herself on the ground.
She didn't feel like standing up. Shinzu had control of any guards coming out of the building, Vivienne couldn't do much to trap them other than maybe create a hole or something near Shinzu. She jumped back to her feet, running slightly ahead of him and sliding down onto her knees as she began to write out another word. This time, it was the word 'hole'. "If you can knock them over here, this word will turn into a hole when its stepped on.", she said as she backed away from it. "Should make it easy to dispose of them if you need.", Vivienne whispered to him.

Over the radio between the guards is various voices that are yelling and cursing. There's a lot of chaos with the guards over this whole ordeal. In the distance, is a number of neighbors talking to each other and getting ready to call the police. A couple more security comes out, but none of them looks like the head guard. They don't have any sort of advance or magical weapon on them. They just have standard self-defense items such as pepper spray and a night stick. Guard 1: “What the hell is going on exactly?! You guys need to get out of here!” Guard 2: “We're pretty confident about our security. No one has entered our building, and we don't appreciate being threaten! We will call the world government!”
As the guards finally step outside and try to make an attempt to push the two off the building grounds, they fall into the pitfall. As they fall down, they reach up and try the other guards nearby, but they only manage to drag them down. Even though the two mages are well above the pitfall, they can hear the guards cursing. Unless something is done, everything about this mission will be over. Meanwhile, in the back, if Taylor looks close to the one camera in the back, she will see that it rotates between the door and the street. Meaning there are blind spots with the camera; however, this information can only be seen if she gets closer to the guard. The guard back is against the door, and he's trying to grasp on the situation, but he doesn't look like he's going to move any time soon.
Maybe the group should try to control the situation to get everyone calm down and back off for now while studying the building to gain more information or even use a complete different method than what they are trying now.

“Alright, that is enough of a commotion.” Shinzu grinned to himself as he seemingly abandoned Vivienne to run to the side of the building where he would be outside of everyone’s view. “No cameras to the side of the building. Perfect.” Seconds later, Shinzu would return to Vivienne’s side. Although no one would realise it, this was nothing more than a clone created using the original’s powers. “Vivienne, can you shut these lot up?” The imposter was hoping that the girl had some sort of spell that could silence the men in the pit. Not because they possessed a threat, but rather, for the sake of the neighbours who at this point were most likely going to call the police if the situation got any louder.------ Meanwhile, the real Shinzu would snicker to himself as his hands began to sweat some sort of strange black substance. This would act as an adhesive, allowing Shinzu to scale the side of the building all the way up to the roof with little effort. In the process of doing so, he would also take great care in making sure to climb around the windows as opposed to directly over them. He certainly wasn’t going to be spotted by anyone outside of the building thanks to the cover of darkness, however, he did not want to risk being discovered by a guard who may be camped beside one of the numerous windows littering the harsh climb up. “Not long to go.” Upon making it to the roof, Shinzu would attempt to find a way into the building. Although Taylor could be relied on, he didn't want to risk doing nothing just in case his ally ended up being unable to enter the building.------
“What do I do now.” The fake Shinzu cursed under his breath. Phantasms were bound to follow their masters will, however, in this case, it had just been abandoned by its master. “Damage control… Those were my orders…” The creature sighed as it scratched its head. The voices in the radio were still booming. “We have been trapped! Please! We request assistance!” The words would repeat over and over, forcing more guards outside each and every second. What’s more, every time a guard would step outside, a ghoul would leave behind its vessel and escape the pit Vivienne had created in order to possess that new guard before he could even utter a word. The goal was simple, constant possession of guards so that they could be dragged outside of the building and forced into the giant hole. “Perfect. The phantoms aren’t required to be bound to a single vessel. As soon as a guard becomes trapped in the hole, they can leave their old bodies and possess new ones. The girl’s word magic should also be able to silence them completely, giving us full control over what is uttered over the radio.” The creature let loose an unnatural snicker. “Looks like I can just sit back and relax. The neighbours should just fall back asleep too now that the noise has died down.”

Taylor watched intently as the guard blocking the door received the transmissions from the front. He grew increasingly restless, reluctant to leave his post, but at the same time growing nervous about the growing threat at the front. He broke out into a sweat, and Taylor could see he was having a hard time making a decision. Eventually, he moved, but not in the direction that Taylor thought. He bailed out on the facility, running away from the building. He never looked back.
Given this chance to make her move, Taylor approached the building with caution. She crept closer to it, observing a camera situated near the door. She judged its visible radius, and crept well around the places where the camera could see. So far, so good. No magic used, no guards killed. Taylor continued forward, hoping that Shinzu and Vivienne could handle the guards up front.

Vivienne smiled. "Is that any way for you to speak to a lady? Perhaps I should, as you put it, shut you up.", she said with a very calm tone as he began to write out another word. "Consider yourself lucky that I wouldn't be able to deal with these guards myself.", she added as she finished writing out the word 'SILENCE'. She sent the word flying into the hole, silencing the guards trapped. She prepared another word, this time 'SLEEP'. She prepared yet another word, 'SLUMBER'. Vivienne was ready to launch these words at any more guards sent into the hole so that they could be incapacitated. "I do very much hope my dear, that this satisfies you and that strange attitude of yours.", he stated with a sly smile.

With the guards on the floor sorted with thanks to Shinzu and Vivienne, it seems like the two could progress. A soft, cold voice echoed in the garden. "I can hear you," The voice then erupts into a childish giggle, high-pitched and haunting. "I can see you, but you can't see me!" A small light danced ahead of them before disappearing through the door.
Taylor had drawn close to the door with the guard who had been guarding it. The man had fled with his tail between his legs, but next it was time to figure out the code to the door. Something that man knew. With a number pad on the door and a variety of buttons; Taylor needed to crack the code and how to do that? There were multiple of ways. A green, red and blue wire streamed out of the contraption and funnelled into the wall with a red light hung up on the door to indicate it was locked. Now Taylor could do this one of three ways: Cut the right wire, put the right number in or break the door down. On closer inspection, certain numbers seemed to be more worn down where numerous fingers had pressed it.
Shinzu had managed to successfully clamber to the top of the building, but it seems like there was a locked door on the roof. Ashtrays align the railing where the staff members usually come up to smoke indicating that if he wanted, he could wait there for someone to come out despite it being late there could be people in late. The door is locked from the outside and there seems to be a vent chute to the side of the door with grates to filter entries. If he could remove them (they've been bolted on tightly) he could sneak in that way, but there is the risk of fans being on within the chute due to it being a drop down into the vents. "I see you too Mr. Blue," The voice from the bottom echoed through the vents with a giggle again.

“Another spirit?” The doppelganger’s voice was monotonous and lacked energy. A stark contrast to the more upbeat and free speaking guild master. “Let’s go.” Unaware of what the light was, the clone simply marched forwards with the intent of entering the building with or without Vivienne. At this point, it had no real regard for its own life. The creature in Shinzu’s form simply wanted the mission over and done with so that it could be dismissed, or at the very least, it wanted to throw itself into harm’s way so that it could be destroyed and sent back into a peaceful slumber. “I’ll just follow my nose… This building isn’t large enough to hide any secrets.”------ “Mr Blue!?” Shinzu almost hissed at the comment, though would restrain himself from acting on the provocation. “A child?” Thanks to his keen sense of hearing, the guild master was able to judge the general location of the giggling menace, though who or what the voice belonged to remained a complete mystery. “Trinket Possession.” At his command, a phantom would fly out of Shinzu and possess the locking mechanism behind the door. After that point, he would simply twist the handle and open the door with ease. No sense in diving head first into the vents where there was little room to struggle after all.
“The voice appeared to have come from much lower down…” With that in mind, Shinzu would cautiously enter the building and make his way downwards and towards the general vicinity of where he felt the voice had come from.
Spell Name: Trinket Possession Level: D Range: 15m Description: Through this spell, the user may command one of his weaker spirits to fly out and possess a small trinket such as an necklace or household ornament. This may even include larger objects as long as they are nothing more than mundane pieces of furniture such as a chair or large rug. Upon possession, the spirit will gain complete control over the object, allowing it to move and shape the object freely as if it were its own body. It is also impossible to determine if an object has actually been possessed or not, unless of course the spirit trapped inside wishes to make itself known. Drawback: Only one object may be possessed per use of this spell and the spirit may not trap itself inside of anything magical or something being worn by an individual. The spirit itself is not too dangerous either. For the most part, it will focus on annoying an opponent as opposed to causing any real bodily harm. The spirit is also still bound to Shinzu. Should the spirit ever end up more than 15m away from Shinzu, it will be automatically ejected from the object, at which point it will be forced to return to its master.

Taylor's pale blue eyes followed the man as he ran off. Now that she thought about it, that as rather cowardly of him. She hated cowardly people, especially like that weak guild master of hers, who was scared of no more than a lost puppy. That puppy held no threat! It's was absolutely irrational to hold fear towards it. Taylor was never going to let that go. Her first impressions of Shinzu were rather weak.
Speaking of Shinzu, the orchestra seemed to have stopped up front, so what was he doing now? Taylor hoped its cause was that they had the situation under control, and not that Shinzu had found himself another dog to be scared of. Taylor shook her head. God, she just could NOT get that out of her mind. Whatever. She needed to focus on the task at hand, not with her overly-sensitive, weak-ass, not-fit, stupid--- Taylor stopped and sighed.
With a short tch, she turned to the door, examining the metal and the panel next to it. With a quick glance, she knew that the panel with the number pad opened the door, and that the wires connecting to the door controlled how it opened. The door itself seemed too sturdy to knock down by herself, especially without magic to help her, so Taylor was left with the other two options: the number pad, or the wires.
Taylor looked at the wires first. There were three in total, a greed, red, and blue wire. The young mage lifted her hand and caressed the three wires, feeling them for thickness and to see if there was some sort of shocking system. When she found there to be none, Taylor stepped back. It was at that moment that the black-haired mage realized that she knew nothing about wires.
That left only the number pad as her option of getting into the door. Taylor looked over it, seeing it clearly even Inge dim light. The number pad looked like it had been used for a long time, without the number ever being changed. Four numbers were different from the others, worn down and the numbers almost indistinguishable. A small grin appeared on her face. Taylor knew how to deal with this.
Moving quickly, she pressed the most worn number first and worked her way up to the least worn number. She prayed to the Endless Void of Nothingness to help her.
