Sonic the Hedgehog: Return of the Werehog (Open)

"A Goon Doc,thankfully not the Goon." E.J. sounded disheartened and relieved at the same time. He loaded One-Eye into his blaster, then fired, curing the slug.

Maya nodded, taking note. It wasn't the result she'd hoped for, but at the very least it might make her look more trustworthy. "I would have tried to help you more, but I'm afraid I'm not much use in a fight."

[Storm the Buizel]

"It's imperative we get the other three wild Elementals. My friend Eli has the Energy Elemental, so we don't have to worry about that.

[Revan]

Willow's ears perked to voices, though not inside her mind this time. Glancing over, she sighed in relief at the sight of the familiar face of EJ, but tilted her head slightly and curiously at the sight of a stranger. Finally, she quietly made her way over to the pair.

[amymist]

"So, what do we need to do to make that happen?" Maya was formulating a plan of sorts, and sticking with E.J. sounded like the best way of achieving that. Part of her wanted to ignore the stranger to focus on her thoughts, but she knew better. She looked over and waved politely instead.

[Revan]

Willow smiled sheepishly as she approached. "I fell behind, sorry about that," She then turned to the stranger and nodded a greeting, and tried to pay no mind to the Negashade crawling back into her scarf. "I see you've made a new friend, pleased to meet you,"

[Storm the Buizel]

"Yeah, this is Maya. Anyway, the best way to get the other Elementals is to try to find them before the Goon does. I can sense where they are, and so can the Goon through the Ghoul energy inside me, thankfully I've learned to block him out so he can't track me." E.J. said.

[amymist]

"In that case, I will follow your lead." Maya spoke with false conviction before turning back toward Willow. "It's a pleasure to meet you, miss..."

[Revan]

"Willow," She answered simply, having forgotten to provide her name earlier. She turned back to EJ and nodded. "If it means I stop getting these chills around those dead caverns, I'll help you out." As someone with the power to communicate with the dead, the caverns freaked Willow out. They were unnaturally silent.

[Storm the Buizel]

"Right." E.J. began to get the sense something was amiss with Maya. And he didn't like it.
