Attempting to flick his photon claw on, Dash remembered that it had been disabled earlier. With a sigh, he shrugged. Guess it's the hard way.With a sudden burst of speed, the tenrec charged at the closest bot, leaping into the air and swinging into an aerial kick.

Dash's timing and lack of warning was unfortunate, for just then Zachary had fired off a couple shots at that very SWATbot. The echidna's eyes widened with alarm over his target suddenly being blocked, unsuccessfully trying to redirect his second shot.

FLYING TENREC TRAJECTORY ALTERED! Having been grazed by Zack's unfortunately placed shot, Dash's attempt at badassery was thwarted, though he himself wasn't actually harmed. However, as mentioned, the trajectory on his attack was all wrong now. Now, instead of kicking the SWATbot, he was more... sailing towards it for a body slam he had not planned on. [dice=6] But maybe that'll work out for him anyway.[rand=899408061754709720427775186539365863614157147830503174534343566082]

[dice=6] The unexpected added weight of a flying tenrec caused one of the hoverSWATs to be knocked off balance, spinning out of control momentarily. Leaving one left to be delt with before it had a chance to react. "Offensive mode engaged!" Silver suddenly rushed forward, collapsing into a whirling blue buzzsaw that hurtled itself at the remaining enemy. [dice=6] [dice=6] Which tried, and mostly failed to get out of the way, so instead of being directly sliced in half, the HoverSWAT instead lost most of its sled's front end, which still had the effect of doing enough damage to cause it to crash into a nearby junk pile.

@segajulie@ "Urgh..." Julie sat up and rubbed the side of her head. Did... Did that old man actually just SHOVE her? And as she turned her eyes back to the confrontation, she was just in time to see him accidentally catching Dash in his next move. The pangolin's expression became humorless.
"Listen, y'old geezer, we'll all be better off if you just sit quietly in yer rockin' chair and leave this to the whippersnappers." Eyeing the not-quite-disabled Swatbot, Julie rolled her eyes and flicked her organic wrist upward. In an instant, a spire of rock pulverized the pavement from below, and continued upwards to pierce through the bot's body. With an equally disinterested swing of her arm, the rock pillar collapsed sideways, burying its victim.
Julie planted her fists on her hips and cast an impatient glance around at her companions. "Can we GO now?!"

Unfortunately, that move of Julie's not only buried the SWATbot, but also the somewhat stunned Dash as well. Muffled protests could be heard angrily from beneath the stone and robot scraps.

While at first Zachary could only stare in surprise at the pangolin's odd ability, her words quickly seared their way past that. Retracting the shaft of his cane and placing it into a compartment on his arm, he shifted its cannon back into hand mode and angrily approached the pile of rubble. "Oh yes. I can see just how better off you whippersnappers are. Arrogant little brat." he hissed, gritting his teeth angrily as he quite literally began to singlehandedly dig Dash free. "Now get over here and help me before more of them come! And keep your voices down!"

"Affirmative," Silver agreed, walking back over to rejoin the group. He paused a second near the SWATbot he had downed, tilting his head as if listening to something, before he suddenly turned and let loose an blast from his claws that reduced the damaged unit to scrap. "I apologize. This unit was still operational, and has called for backup. They will be here shortly, we should not."

@segajulie@ "Dash, honestly, can't you do ANYTHING right?" With another exasperated sigh, Julie turned her attention back to the pile of rubble and levitated the chunks of soil from the tenrec's person, looking impatient more than anything. Allowing them to drop ungracefully the to pavement a few feet away, the Gifted pangolin turned her focus onto Lance. "You're the one with the working tracker, Bread Boy. Let's get outta here."

With some difficulty, the tenrec wobbily got back onto his feet. "It's not my fault," he replied as he took a test step and nearly fell, "if the entire universe conspires against me!"

"Yeah, fine," Lance said, glancing down at his tracer to get a grip on where they were position-wise. " Hellfire and damnation," Zachary swore over Silver's warning, then gave Dash a grim look-over. "Kid, you're not going anywhere with that busted up leg of yours."

"The problem is easily solvable," Silver stated. Walking over to Dash, he simply hauled him up with one arm and threw him over one shoulder to carry him. "We should leave now, preferably to a safe and/or defensible location."

There was a long pause from the tenrec as he suddenly found himself slung over the robot's shoulder. "... wait, you forgot to unbury my dignity from the rubble." Another pause. "... then again I probably just left it at home."

"Right," Zachary muttered as he pulled his hood back up. "I can fix your leg back at my shop - we'll be safe there. All of you follow me, you two around the corner, too." Hearing herself and Ray be addressed, Midnight peeked around the corner of an adjacent alley.

@segaray@ Still just basically a snivelling mess, Ray didn't do much beyond clinging to Midi as he had been.
@segajulie@ Julie, however, looked unconvinced. Her instinct was to simply ignore the old kook and to get back to finding a way to helping Fini, but unless things had changed since she'd encountered him herself, they probably still couldn't get near him. They'd probably have to essentially kidnap him to help him, and Dash would need to be in top condition for something like that.
Which meant listening to the old ugly Fini look-alike.
"Hmph," Julie grunted indecisively. She cast a glance over at Lance because Dash's opinion didn't matter. "Whaddaya think?"

Lance just shrugged. "Hey, you're the one who saw the doc, so you've got a better idea of what's going on than I do. Doesn't seem like he's moving from his spot anytime soon though."

@segajulie@ The pangolin released an annoyed sigh. "Unfortunately, we really do need Dash in top condition." Julie lingered for a moment, then added in a lowered voice, "Let's just not get too cozy around this coot; we still don't really know who he is or who he works for."

It would be almost half an hour after the others left that Crash regained consciousness, his sunglasses askew as he sat up. Adjusting the eyewear, he looked around, and realized two things. One, he was alone. And Two... HE WAS BACK AT SQUARE ONE! "... DAMN IT!" The devil was on his feet, snarling, although the sound seemed... almost choked out. And with a cracking roar, the devil turned on a nearby wall, and, putting all the anger at himself for losing Julie AGAIN he had behind it, punched a rather large hole in a wall, then just... stood there. After a moment, his arm still in the wall, he began shaking, the movement barely noticeable at first, until it caused him to have to lean on the wall he just vandalized. " I lost her again..."
