"i'd toss you a light,but i don't have any....and besides if there's been nothing by now...i don't know what else would be"

Burst chirpped a suggestion, but Rookie shook his head. "No, you'll set the oil on fire if you do that." The wolf sighed, then turned around. "Okay. I guess you're right Clik. Let's get outta here."

"Thank you Rookie," Luna agreed, "you as well Clik."

"Your welcome," Tails smiled, "Glad you're feeling better? How's the lepoard?"

Ajal nodded and chaos control landing on the pylon.

"Kini? Still a bit drowsy and green around the gills, but definately looking ten times better." Sonic reported, ever the optimist.

Knuckles casually hopped off the roof and glided down.
---
Rookie waved his tail and began making his way out of the pipe.

Luna followed him.


"That's good," Tails spoke hoping Sonic was right.


Ajal waited paciently for Knuckles.

It didn't take long for the group to get out of the pipe. Rookie took a breath, happy to be out of there. However, the moment didn't last when he looked down at his fur. everything from his waist down as matted and stained a brownish-black color. "...Right. I think I'm gonna hit the showers soon..." He mubbled. "With lots and lots of soap."
---
Sonic smiled. "It is good." He agreed.
---
Knuckles alighted beside Ajal. "I dunno. I don't think I can really coach you through much else when it comes to Chaos teleportation; you're pretty good at this point."

Ajal smiled, "True but there is always stuff to learn. Do you think Tradewind wants a ride?"

Luna looked down only to notice the same thing, "Same here."


Tails looked around, "So what is he like?"

"Well, if you wanna try that... Well, when are you gonna need to transport something the size of a parrot? See what I'm getting at here?" Knuckles tried.
---
"Kini's alright." Sonic replied. "Haven't been around him much, though apperantly he was a Resistance soilder."
---
"Good. We're in agreement, then." Rookie chuckled.

"He was," Tails asked.

Luna tried to wipe some of the oil off her pants, "Yeah."


"True so you want me to try something bigger. Suggestions aside from you? No offense but I don't want to risk anyone aside from me getting hurt," Ajal spoke.

The echidna folded his arms. "Ajal. You watched me dig my way out of what was easily a ton of metal yesterday. The Mastsr Emerald isn't screaming anymore. I think I can handle it." Knuckles stated, only slightly offended.
---
Rookie frowned. "I... don't think that's coming out right now." The wolf pup said.
---
"Yeah.... You know that thing Rookie does out of habit? Calling Knux 'Commander'? Kini does the same thing." Sonic commented.
