Basil couldn't wave, but smiled as she pushed Doodle away, who disappeared into the vent system moments later, "Let's get that key!"

Sophia nodded grimly, "Fine," Was all she said as she charged forward, using her wind powers so that when she jumped, she landed neatly behind him so he could wack him with the blunt side of the blade.
Birch just watched.

Jasper nodded.

Justice seemed calm enough, taking the hit as if it where nothing and spinning around with his arms still behind his back as one leg swung up to kick her.

Basil crouched down, crawling through the vent system, "This way!"

She rolled out of the way, using her wind powers to make her more swift. It also seemed to work against her, since she was starting to wheeze a tiny bit, it was clear she couldn't fight for long periods of time.

Jasper followed.

He knew he could use that, and so simply acted as though he was attacking.

She crawled over to the room Birch, Justice and Sophia where in. She moved over so Jasper could see, watching. She did smirk when she saw Sophia though.

She rolled away from him. She stood up, watching and waiting. It was obvious she was just resting a bit. She could still attack if she wanted to but didn't want to push herself.

Jasper watched curiously.

Justice charged at her on all fours, baring his teeth as the black splotches on his fur seemed to increase in mass.

Sophia jumped over him, doing a front flip and landing perfectly behind him. She turned around, getting into a fighting stance.

"Oooh~ Sophia is here. Oh my, should I say hi," Basil whispered to herself, watching Birch go over to the podium, seeming captivated by the key.

Justice simply turned back to face her but smirked as a second furry like him appeared next to him, but this one was fully black and had red eyes. The second one, named Shade, snarled as he shot over at Sophia in the blink of an eye.

Jasper shrugged. "looks like they're busy."

(Shade and Shade xD. The army is assembling!)

Sophia seemed surprised but dodged, moving quickly. She was wheezing a bit more though. She went on the offensive, swiping at Shade multiple times with her staff.

"They are. I hope she doesn't die," Basil said cheerfully.

Heh?)

Shade snarled, grinning wildly as he spun around and rushed at her again.

Justice stood again, calmly lifting a paw and causing black shadow tendrils to shoo from his own shadow toward her.

Jasper shrugged.
