"Go" Ace's voice was cold Emotionless
Tox heard it with pain It was not a voice she would have ever expected froht she would never have to hear that tone froain He had it before, way back when they firstabout friends or happiness
"I'ment call here as teaently "We should go Ace is strong Stronger than ever before He won't lose here At the very least, not until we regroup with Clint up top
Anything Machine Mind is planning - we'll stop it once we get Clint back"
Tox nodded slowly, hesitantly Her gaze lingered on Ace's back She closed her eyes and nodded, this tio"
"Let's scram!" shouted Stella
"Keep in the barrier," said Diaroup made an escape forreen fold, they rapidly disappeared from the cavern, Kryptic in tow
It took only a few seconds for theht, and a few , their footsteps dulling away
During these seconds, an atmosphere intensified between Ace and Machine Mind One of silence, but in that silence, there was ht And the vengeance that flowered fro atop decayed skulls
