Shade walked to the others, Esh following. Discharge was sitting there, and Grace was next to Discharge, Sting was next to Grace, and Ivy was next to Sting. Shade looked and noticed her arm restraints had been cut. "Sting, what happened to Ivy's arm restraints?" Sting blinked. "Huh? Oh, that... I bet Ivy that I could get her to tell us what she knows by the end of the day, and..." he looks at the moon, rising into the sky. "She wanted me to cut her restraints. I have no idea why she hasn't left yet." Ivy looked down. "Look, I'm sorry. It's clear I can't beat you guys, and you know what they say- ya can't beat 'em, join 'em." Shade smirks. "That is the... only reason?" Ivy giggles a little. "For now it is, yeah." Esh sighed, sticking close to Shade. He looks at Sting and winks. Sting smiles slightly, and a very, very light pink is on his face. Esh looked back at Shade. "So, when do we start?" Shade looks at Esh. "Whenever we are all ready, which seems to be now." The four others nod in agreement. Esh smiles and takes the lead, leading the others through the alleyways to the exit of the city. The others follow, careful not to lose sight of the ones in front of them. They finally get out of the city and into the forest. Esh takes a deep breath and smiles. "Open space..." he starts to run, going surprisingly fast. Ivy watches him go. "How does someone with three legs move so fast?" Sting shrugs. "I dunno, but I'm energized just looking at him!" Discharge smiles and jumps off of Sting's back and runs after Esh. Sting chuckles. "A squirrel chasing a dog. Ya don't see that every day!" Esh smiles and speeds up, almost galloping like a horse. After a while, he slows. Discharge catches up and hops around Esh. Shade looks at them, and a slight smile is on his face. Sting and Ivy look at them go. Esh stops after a while, and Discharge runs in circles around him. Esh chuckles. "Hyper?" Discharge smiles as he runs. "Yeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeah!" Ivy laughs. Sting chuckles. "My bad, I fed him a lot of sugary food." Esh smiles and walks into a cave. Shade looks at the others. Sting and Ivy were watching Discharge, so Shade decided to follow Esh into the cave.
