Not yet. I wanna see if there's anyone else I know here. You guys can go ahead and take care of the pier--there oughta still be some resistance there.

[A blatant lie. Ace made sure everything from the pier and on was clear. The Sun, just the same, should have landed as well. What Ace wanted to do was move Ikki and Selphie away so he could draw up and fight the dangerous presence that had been tickling the back of his neck with weird vibes for the last few minutes. The same kind of guy he had to beat at the pier, too.

As Captain, it was his job to take the most dangerous battles and put his back to his allies. So, he turned away from the two and started walking back towards the main square.]

Those're your only orders! Get to it!
