Jacoby sighed. He crawled under his bed and dropped through the hole in his floor. Running with all the skill his cat-like features gave him, he dashed along pipes and tubes through three-quarter miles of the Under to a ring of candles where Fiametta was already standing.

"Mom, I'm going out!" Nakari shouted as he trotted down the stairs.
"Where are you going?" Kyra innocently asked.
Nakari nearly jumped out of his skin, his eyes wide. "Woah! Hi, Kyra. Uh, for a walk."
"Can I go with you?" she asked innocently.
Nakari cringed. "It probably isn't a good idea. . ."
"I'm going to change."

Jacoby and Fiametta had just seen each other and were about to exchange greetings when they were both temporarily deafened by a shout of "NAKARI!! WHAT THE FUCK!?"

The very image of defeat, Nakari pulled Kyra in by the wrist. "Here's your solution, Fia!" he shouted above Kyra's angry ranting. "Happy!?"
"WHAT!? FI?! JACOBY?! What the hell is this!" Kyra demanded, her voice echoing sharply off the walls. "You're all part of. . . part of this!?"

Fiametta winced and cracked her neck. "Hi, Kyra. How're you?"
Jacoby drew back into the shadows, however he was still easy to spot because of his light hair.

"Oh God," Kyra said, slowly. She shook Nakari's hand off her wrist. "I can't believe this," she whispered to him. "My own twin." She shook her head and took off the way from which she had come with her brother.
Nakari looked back at Fi before taking off after his sister. "Kyra!" he shouted, his voice echoing down the tunnel.

Kyra looked about her, her breath echoing in the dreary tunnel. "Shit," she whispered. The ladder should be here. . . I could have sworn, she thought. It was two turns to the left. . . then straight to the ladder. . . Confused, she continued moving, hoping to find another way out.
~Ten Minutes Later~ "She's missing," a surly Nakari growled as he met back up with Fi and Jacoby. "I went straight home. She isn't there."

Fiametta switched into I'm-the-leader-here-so-listen-to-me-because-nobody's-gonna-mess-this-up mode. "Jacoby, make your way down your homeward trail. Nakari, search the North wing. I'll take East and South. Head out." She turned and powered her wings, pushing herself down her section of the Under. Jacoby bolted to the West.

"I all ready looked that direction," Nakari grumbled before he bolted.
Kyra groaned, and looked up. "I'm going to die down here," she whimpered.

"No you won't," Jacoby said, balanced on pipes about five feet above her.

Kyra screamed and stumbled backwards. "God! Jacoby!"

"You really should stop with the shouting. Someone else might hear you." He dropped down about two feet. "And Fiametta isn't going to be very nice. She's really serious about this stuff." He was careful to keep his tone light. He didn't want her to be scared.

Kyra's shock wore off at the mention of the Underground. "I can't believe you," she said. "I'll shout all I want, if someone will hear me. Maybe this can finally just end"

"What is it you want ended?" he asked, laying down on the pipes.

"This," she said, waving a hand. "This pathetic attempt at a revolution. Why is it so necessary to have these abilities? Why can't people just be the same?"
