The motorcycle engine cut off, and soon the sound of firm, insistent knocking sounded through the air. Hajime hadn't bothered to transform back to human or to his Lord of the Bugmen form; he was still in the form he called Chalice. The one that wasn't quite familiar to many people of the network yet. He'd left Tony with Shou for the moment so he could get them inside.

But at least he thought ahead enough to call out, "It's okay--we're friends." Granted, enemies were prone to lying, but he hoped his voice, at least, would be familiar enough from the network to get them in. "And we've had a hell of a night." Hell. There was a joke in there somewhere, only Hajime was too exhausted to make it.
