Rookie still looked an bit unsure, enough so that the echidna felt compelled to add something else. "Try picturing Ajal as your worst enemy. Uh, Infinite or someone." He suggested.

Rookie nodded and squared up. "Okay. Okay. Got it. I can do this." He said, more to himself than anyone else. With that, he hurled a second punch, this time putting some actual weight behind it.

Ajal sidestepped it, May I add some incentive? He held up Burst, Youre protecting your friend. Burst you know I wouldnt hurt you on purpose but for this extersize would you mind acting like I would?

Burst blinked, then nodded. With that, he broke into Wisp drama.

Ajal acted like he was going hurt Burst, "Wimpy wolf going to try and rescue his friend or he is going to sit crying like a newborn pup?"

Rookie grimmaced, then adjusted his glasses. "I think you already know." He growled lightly, curling his hands into fists.
"Thumbs outside." Knuckles muttered. "Unless you wanna break 'em."
The wolf pup blinked, fixed his position, and hurled another punch.

Ajal caught the punch and held Rookie's knuckle there, "Feeble atempt.'' He pulled off a perfect Infinite evil laugh, "Pathetic."

Knuckles raised a brow, and Rookie's ears perked up in surprise. "Wowzers." He mumbled, then twisted his hand out of Ajal's grasp.

"Sorry doing my Hagin/ Infinite in a crappy mood impersination," Ajal apologized, "now that got results sorta."

"S'cool." Rookie shrugged.
Knuckles glanced up at the sky. "Okay guys, break for the day. Storm's coming." He advised.

"Alright good try Gadget and thanks for the help Burst," Ajal spoke, "by the way Gadget don't be afraid to try and hurt me I can take it and you need to learn how to fight."
