By the time you call out to him, Raj has already closed the distance! Gritting his teeth as he rushes the cat, the skater leaves a trail of tiny flecks of…
… wood. His grip is <span class="mu-i">splintering</span> the ax handle!
The cat attempts to crush the newcomer, but it’s too slow–bringing the tool behind his back with another chamber-shaking roar, Raj brings the blade crashing into the monochrome monster’s leg… no, <span class="mu-i">THROUGH</span> it!
A mote of surprise flickers in the beast’s eyes as a replacement leg pops out, but just as quickly as it appears, Raj chops through <span class="mu-i">THAT</span> one too! And another! AND <span class="mu-s">ANOTHER!</span>
Batting away the mallet like it was a flyswatter, the skater doesn’t stop screaming as the cat somehow grows paler than before!
“Look!” Exclaims Pepper as she points to the growing puddle of ink on the floor, “He’s… he’s actually-”
The extradimensional horror brings its mallet around for one last desperate attack–but as the tool comes down towards Raj’s head, the skater’s weapon is already there to meet it! Clashing in a shower of sparks, the two weapons meet for a moment before the mallet is sent <span class="mu-i">AIRBORNE</span>!
“VERY impressive… for a <span class="mu-i">CAVEMA-</span>oh <span class="mu-i">drat</span>...”
Landing on Rivka’s orb with a definitive <span class="mu-i">BONK</span>, the scientist’s ride slams against the ground once more causing its engine to erupt in a series of unhealthy-sounding whines!
Raj’s attention is still on the monster, though–hewing through its leg one more time, the skater drops his weapon at his feet and falls to his knees gasping for breath as the cartoon cat stumbles backwards into the <span class="mu-s">GATE!</span>
A colossal ‘<span class="mu-s">GONG</span>’ rings out across the chamber as the portal fizzles a bit, and as the cartoon cat staggers dazed from the structure powering it, it falls backwards through the portal!
Halfway, at least.
Rushing to Raj’s side, you and Pepper prepare for the cat’s counterattack, but it never comes! The chamber fills with smoke and the acrid smell of burning electronics as one side of the gate violently crackles and sparks before a small explosion rocks the whole gate!
The portal flickers just long enough to bisect the monster at its waist! Though the cat’s lower half remains, it only manages to take a few more drunken steps before pooling into a lake of ink just outside the now-violently flickering portal!
“<span class="mu-i">Linda…</span>”
As the word escapes Raj’s cracked throat, the skater falls unconscious at your feet…
He did it… the crazy sonnovabitch did it. And he’s out like a light…
>CONTD.
