Carni led the way back into the woods from the fields they had travelled through to get back here. They had been on the move for some time, since Alcatraz's home was far from the Fortress.
Huzza waddled along towards the rear of the line. He had to squeeze his way between trees a few times on the trail.

Sombra, Veneno, and the luxio followed behind.
"This is where Alcatraz lives?" asked the luxio.

"Yeah," said Carni. "Dunno where he is though. And we'll have to explain how we ended up without Zodiac here. We lost track of him somewhere just outside the Fortress." He sighed. "We've got to go back for him."

"He's probably dead now," replied Sombra.

Carni glared at Sombra. "I'm not giving up on him. He's back there because he helped us escape. I don't mean we should go there now, but soon. We need to do something to get him out. I don't think he's dead."

"You wait until NOW to worry about him?" replied Sombra.

Carni growled, "Well i couldn't exactly stop to go back for him before! We were too busy getting away!"
"You're back," said Alcatraz, who had just stepped in. " Please...what happened, and what are you yelling about?"

"Alcatraz!" exclaimed Sombra in relief, "You're a sight for soar eyes. We have a lot to tell you. We pretended to join the horde. They took us to the dungeons to practice on the prisoners. We overpowered our captain and released thirteen prisoners. On the way out, we converted a horde member. Our general called reinforcements, but thanks to Veneno, we broke free. Unfortunately, we lost Zodiac in the brawl."

"Oh, no..." Alcatraz felt responsible. When something went wrong, he always did. "Did you see...see him die? Because if you didn't, I'm going in myself to get him out."

"I saw him gnawing on an ursaring's arm," replied Sombra.

"An ursa ring?" Carni's lights flashed. "Do you mean Slashthroat? Did he actually attack the General?"

Flame looked at the ground. One of her freands was dead and would never see her chicks.

"I'm still going in to see if I can find him," said Alcatraz. "If nothing else it will bring closure to us all."
ooc: yup, they are near where Flame and Charna are.

"Do you need any help?" asked Sombra.

"No...you've done plenty," said Alcatraz. "I don't want you risking your life again so soon after your ordeal. I can't believe I even went along with our plan...having you go out there and do all the dangerous work while I sat here at home and did nothing. I'm going out this time."

"But, Alcatraz, you have something to live for," protested Sombra, "I have nothing. Back home, I had nothing. I had no one. You have all of Erymire. You are the guardian."

"I'm the guardian, that's right," said Alcatraz. "And that means I look after the residents of Erymire. That's what I'll be doing when I go in there and get Zodiac out. And if you think you have nothing to live for, think again. You're young and have your life ahead of you."

"I know what I must do," replied Sombra, "Destiny sent me to this dimension for a reason. I'm going to help bring down the horde. Take me with you."

Alcatraz could see he wasn't going to dissuade him easily, if at all. "If you insist," he said.
"If you take him, you take me too," said Carni.

"We'll use a simple rescue plan," said Alcatraz. "I can bring us back there in a moment--I can teleport us there in psychic form. Then we have to locate Zodiac, and then teleport out. That's going to be the hard part."

"I could hop on your back and shoot a barrage of shadow balls at them," replied Sombra, "An aerial attack should surprise them."

"We've got to just get in and get out while attracting as little attention as possible," said Alcatraz. "It would help if we had some way to sneak in and at least locate where he is."
"They're looking for you," said Carni. "I heard them mention it."
"Yes, they would be looking for me," said Alcatraz, "that's nothing new."

"You're twelve feet tall, how are you going to sneak in?" asked Sombra.

"I'm not quite twelve feet tall," said Alcatraz. "But anyway, how are you going to sneak in? You're wanted for treason, if you described things accurately to me. The thing is that I don't see how we can just barge in there and expect to fight our way in...we need to at least know where to teleport to."

"The dungeons!" replied Sombra, "We'll attack them from the inside out!"

"That sounds like a plan," said Alcatraz. "I've done it before I can do it again. We'll need a way in though...I'm wondering if there are some old entrances leading underground to the dungeons down there. Anything we find would probably be guarded, though."
