Sync glanced up the moment he heard loud footsteps descend upon the ballroom floor, looking over his shoulder with an indifferent expression until he saw that head of spiky blond hair rushing towards them. Almost immediately he smiled, though it faltered somewhat when he saw that stranger running alongside with Claude. He should've expected for them to bring along the third man, but why? Had they wanted to take advantage of his good graces to get farther into the basement? Or were Guy and Claude just too weak to deal with him?

The God-General scowled when Anise struggled harder against his grip, suddenly pulling the Guardian closer to him and plowed his knee right into her stomach. It didn't matter if the other group saw; in fact, he'd done it partly to rile up the others even more.

"It's been a while Guy," He began with a snide expression, waving the latter off with his free hand as he turned back around to face the door. "Maybe if Anise behaved then this would've been more pleasant for all of us."

Yet for someone who could potentially have their plans ruined Sync hardly looked upset. In fact, he looked even happier than when he was just traveling with Anise and Dahlia, but now wasn't the time to reminisce.

With Guy closing in there was no time to waste, yet just as he reached out a loud click filled the air, signifying that something had occurred with the door. The God-General immediately grabbed the handle and pulled hard, grinning when the object gave in and opened in response. He didn't wait to see what was inside, propping the door open with his foot in order to take Dahlia's hand into his own before pulling both girls into the next hall.
