Sonic's ears perked up as his gaze met Ajal's. "Promise me that barring an emergency you at least stay within earshot, okay?"

"Deal," Ajal could easily agree to that with his good hearing.

Sonic nodded once. "Alright, let's go then." He spoke with a smile before trotting towards the weathered-down complex.

Ajal stalks toward the compound with his gear.

Sonic wandered up to a rusted door and pushed up against it, forcing it open.

Nox lifted her head from where she was polishing her knife, "Infinite we have company."

Zero twitched his tail idly. "Hm? And what do you want to do about it?" He grumbled, looking up from maintaining his own blade.

'I figured you'd want another shot at Sonic. But if you don't want to then we have the maze to our advantage."

Zero twirled his blade around and slammed it down into a wooden workbench, embedding it there. "That we do." He noted. "Is it just the hedgehog?"

"Ajal is mine," Nox growls, "so don't even think about it feel free to use the prisoners though."
