A Sweet Escape

[Larfleeze]

Cirrus sighed, taking in the laboratory. "Well, I definitely don't want to spook you, but... Kong is almost certainly on his way here. It would be too much to hope you've kept your old level of power?"

"He's... on his way here? How did he find us?"

"Well, he's probably following me."

"Then why did you lead him to us!" the scientist cried, "All that hiding- for nothing?"

"I didn't know you would be here." Cirrus defended, "I just came to recover from my injuries on the beach, and caught sight of this place on happenstance."

"He injured you?"

"No, in fact, I think I'm stronger than him. At the very least, I won't be easy to put down when it does come to a fight. I was fighting a different guy who wants Kong dead."

"Then... why did he try to kill you?"

"I don't know." Cirrus said with a shrug, "But considering our luck, he probably just left Kong without a scratch, muttering about honor or whatever. Either way, he's probably in this verse."

Chakravartin lowered through the air, focusing on his Vita Compass. 

Vampire and her host were down there. He was close.

Now... what to do? What to say?

He wouldn't start an all-out fight here right next to a Gate. That would only be asking for trouble, and he wasn't 100% sure he wanted trouble, quite yet. He found himself closer to the edge of the island's city, looking over a building on the smaller side, compared to its neighbors. 

He lowered to the door, floating just in front of it, and tried the handle. Locked. 

He floated back a bit, and took in the sign. "Ah." Well, regardless, Cirrus was inside there. 

He began knocking on the door. He could afford to wait.
