Ace was startled when he heard the now-familiar sound, which was still sudden. He immediately turned to look in the direction the sound was coming from and was a little surprised to see a massive mushroom-shaped cloud of dust in the atmosphere quite some distance away.

"Thank you," Ace said to Andrew Dawn, panting heavily between sentences.
