Ace looked around, Rebel at her side. She saw the looming figure of the volcano a long way in front of her, still not believing what Rocky and Saber had put her up to. They had told her to go to the volcano, to explore it and tell them what it was like. The didn't have the protection of a pet, so they didn't dare go, and Ace had told them not to come along with her. Rebel looked at Ace, a small whining sound coming from his throat.
"Calm down; we're gonna be fine. Maybe we can meet up with someone else. That'd made it a lot easier,"Ace told him. Rebel nodded back, and waited for Ace to begin walking. She did, and Rebel followed. Ace didn't know what would await them at the volcano, but was convinced that whatever it was, they could handle it.
