When Riley agreed and told Inadi to tag along, Ace limped out towards the sea of trees. Her sword lit dimly, but it was enough to burn a tree. Before she could raise the sword to attack, an unfamiliar voice made her whirl around. Only for her to give a shocked expression to seeing none other than those hooded figures that attacked them when they were learning about the Siren... Her eyes narrowed a little. They had no energy to fight the hooded people too. 

But the male, Luke, seemed to be rather...friendly to them but maybe that was because he didn't remember her. Then he spoke of some picnic. Ace was about to protest them being there, and the stupid idea of a picnic in a forever dark place....but they said they'd help. "Any funny business, and we won't hesitate to hurt you like we did the last time." Ace gave a mild threat and turned to go distract the witch. It appeared that she was marveling in her advantage. Her eyes wandered towards the hooded figures, getting a little defensive as a few got rather close to her friends. The last thing she needed was to be attacked. But the hooded figure that spoke to Leila didn't do anything stupid. The pink haired girl was here too, the one with the pole. They had unfinished business to settle...but they could settle their differences later. There were more important matters to settle. 

Harper still was unconscious, and she noticed Jasper left the protective bubble...which meant Avian- Ace sighed and continued on. They couldn't grieve here. Not while danger was still lurking, and not while others were still fighting for their lives. Before Ace went to help Brandy. "Riley, if you run out of energy use the debris around here. I'm sure you'll find something around here sharp. Remember, aim for the eyes." She turned back to Brandy who was losing consciousness. 

"Hey, Bunny! You've got to get up..." She frowned and pulled him up. Pulling one of his arms over her shoulder, she dragged him over to where Songbird was. He was losing consciousness too, but they were both alive. "You guys have to wake up... Passing out right now will guarantee your deaths." She tugged Brandy's ear and then patted Songbird's face gently. But, she couldn't stay there to help them. "Martini, you'll have to watch them. I have to help the others." She nodded and then turned seeing Inadi's attempts to distract the witch. 

"Alright old hag..." Ace picked up a sharp piece of wood and aimed it at the misty figure that floated around. When she got a clear shot she tossed it at the witch, hoping to pierce something at least to get her to stagger. In that brief money if she did, someone had the opportunity to strike out. Hopefully they'd take that chance.
