Meanwhile, back with Crash and the Spaz...
Crash was still holding Ray out at arms length, trying to figure out who he was, and who this 'Gains' person he kept yelling about was.
"Hey, I'm not ANYONE'S evil twin. I just wanna know who yer yelling about."
Fortunately for Dash, it seemed Crash's attention had focused on Ray.

"Hey, at least YOU weren't shoved into the mud in a freaking sewer!" And that's when something seemed to catch her attention. Something she had initially missed, but noticed after having grabbed onto the tenrec's leg and realized it was rather... unnaturally cold and rigid feeling. She looked down in confusion to realize his leg was made of metal. Closer quick examination revealing the rest of his appearance to her senses. "... Dude... What the hell happened to you?!"

@segaray@ For once in his life, Ray's massive caffeine overload over the course of his life seemed to have paid off; given that his growth had been noticably stunted, he'd never actually outgrown the scruff of his neck -- from which he was now dangling.
Of course, lack of pain did not exactly equal lack of panic.

The devil just... stood there, trying to decipher what the panicking squirrel had just said. ". . ." Crash opened his mouth to respond, but, as nothing came to mind, he closed it again, running that stream of what he ASSUMED were words through his mind again, finally managing to pick SOMETHING out of it. "I don't even KNOW you. Why would I kill you?" Crash then pointed at Dash, who he'd finally noticed out of the corner of his eye. "HE'S the one I'm after."

"Why the hell would someone want to kill yo--" Midi paused mid-sentence. She'd tuned out the majority of Ray's rambling (mostly out of habit), but one of the last things he'd said caught her attention. She snorted, wrinkling her nose up in a feeble attempt to keep herself from giggling. "Ray, what the HELL?" She covered her mouth as she snerked again, taking a couple deep breaths as she began pulling herself up to her feet. Her muscles now feeble from trying to contain herself. "Okay, pal..." she said, taking a couple more breaths to grim up, "I have no idea what's going on, but you better put Ray down and leave Dash alone."

Seemed to have only partially registered Midi's command, as he noticed his target crawling away. Oh no you don't. You're not getting away that easily... but how to... Crash's eyes turned to the squirrel he still had held up by the scruff, and without really thinking about it, tried flinging HIM at Dash.

[dice=6] Ray probably would've made a decent projectile, too -- had he ever actually been airborne. At the prospect of being thrown, however, the squirrel defied all logic and clung tightly to the arm of the very person he was afraid would end his life.

The devil growled softly at his failed attempt to use Ray as a projectile, and shook his arm vigorously, trying to dislodge the paranoid squirrel. Midi's comment clicked as he did this, so he responded, without looking at her. "I haven't killed anyone. And I don't plan to. The most I'd do to your Legionaire friend is punch him. Really hard." Crash growled a little louder, and shook his arm even harder. "I was asking him..." SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE. "Where his friends took someone very important to me..." The devil's voice was... surprisingly calm, but... it seemed like it was hiding some other emotion.

"Okay, first off pal, stop trying to make him projectile vomit everywhere. Second, no one's throwing any punches at my friends without going through me first. Third," she turned and gave a look at Dash. "Care to explain what the hell he's talking about?"

"WHOAWHOAWHOAWHAAA*splash*" Crash finally seemed to accomplish one of his goals, thus signaling the coming of the apocolypse, as Ray was eventually jarred from the devil's flailing arm and sent plummeting into the revolting muck. As the none-too-golden squirrel sat back up in the swampy water, his blue eyes constricted with realization. "OHCHAOSI'MMARINATINGINEBOLAJUICE!!!" In the next instant, Ray had vanished. Or he seemed to; he'd apparently skittered up the nearest tree at the speed of panic and now clung to the topmost branch. Hey, he's not ranked as a speed character for nothing.

Crash's expression was dangerously cold as he looked down at the bat in his path, his hands, both now free, clenching into fists. "So... to get to him, I'd have to go through you?" The devil took a slow step towards Midi, his eyes narrowing. "I can live with that."

Midi ignored Ray for the moment, gritting her teeth and flaring her wings out. "Oh, shut up and sit down before you look anymore mature," she snapped, before turning her attention to Dash again, "And YOU better get back here and talk before I kick YOUR ass, needle butt," THEN... ALL OF A SUDDEN... Dash's ear began to speak. <Isis, Julie?> Finitevus' voice could be heard, <Are either of you receiving this? Respond!>

Dash winced at the sudden transmission to his earpiece, quickly slapping a hand over it to muffle the voice coming from it. That, and gave a sheepish look to both Midi and Crash. "... eheheh."

There was a bit of a static hiss as another voice carried over the network.

The devil's eyes went wide as he heard the second voice, far more familiar than the first. " Julie...?" There was the sound of rushing air, and Crash had shot past Midi on his Gear, grabbing Dash by the shoulder, and pulling the unfortunate tenrec to his feet. The devil then, unsure how sensitive the communicator was, or even if it would pick him up, yelled into Dash's ear. "JULIE! WHERE ARE YOU!?" The devil seemed almost frantic, a drastic change from his cold demeanor only moments ago.

"HEY!" Midi yelled as Crash basically shoved her aside. She whirled around and began to advance on him after he'd grabbed Dash. "PUT HIM DOWN YOU CREEP!" There was a long pause for the other end. <... Who was that?>

Unfortunately for Dash (and usually, only unfortunate things happened to him anyway), the implants in his ears not only worked as two way transmitters, but also improved his already fantastic hearing. So to have Crash YELLING into it... " o-ow..." "Isis responding."

Crash turned on the incoming bat, almost snarling as he let go of Dash. "This is the one, best shot I have at finding her! And if you try to take that chance away..." Crash expression went cold, except for his eyes, which retained a hint of the franticness they'd held moments ago. " I WILL KILL YOU."

Midnight faltered at the magnitude of the devil's ferocity. She caught herself however, heart now pounding in her chest from a sudden surge of adrenaline. Her teeth gritted as she breathed heavily, opening her wings in preparation of flight as she gave a determined glare. "Dash... RUN!" No sooner had she yelled she let off a concentrated screech at Crash meant to stun him. [dice=6][rand=737635975584536909889818858843813423004859985560705818045668776117]

[dice=6] (SPLASH DAMAGE IS FUN YEY!) Having been let go of by Crash, the tenrec fell into the mud with a rather icky sounding 'plop', and, still disoriented and pained from having the devil YELLING IN HIS EAR AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS, he was a bit disoriented to say the least. Unfortunately because of this he didn't react nearly as quickly as he should of to avoid the sonar blast and, well, ear pain on top of ear pain. So now there was a tenrec curled up in the fetal position in a puddle of swamp muck. Today just wasn't his day. Then again, when was any day?[rand=3506089531526201522372194001570347773474903619736222888007422174]

[dice=6] Crash managed to hear that much of Julie's voice, before the screech hit him. Unfortunately, the devil only stumbled back, a feral snarl escaping his throat, although it paused for a moment as Crash realized something. @bcrash@ THAT DAMN BAT MADE ME DEAF! The snarl returned, then became a roar as the devil leaped at Midi, intending to tackle her to the ground... then probably beat the hell out of her.

<WOULD SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME WHO THESE EXTRA PEOPLE ARE?!> [dice=6] Fortunately for Midnight she had already been expecting and was fully prepared for exactly that scenario. Pulling her wings down with a quick thrust she launched herself into the air, soaring above the devil as he went flying into the swamp muck. And then she noticed Dash curled up in the muck, doing a very distinct lack of running like she'd told him to. She made a face as the swooped down to snatch him up, most of the tenrec's spines thankfully having been missing.

[dice=6] The ominous sounds of long rusted metal groaning and shifting caused the bat's ears to twist back, quickly followed by a glance she decided to chance taking. She quickly wished she hadn't as the large vehicle came barreling at her, for maybe she would have had time to dodge otherwise.
