The flaming taijitsu slithered out of its hot lava bed and followed him, its mere slithering left a trail of fire in its wake as it followed him. His bullets made it flinch occasionally, but otherwise the creature shrugged them off admirably. It was getting close, it'd be on him any second. But before he acted, he could see the girl in the flowery dress behind him. She was frantically gesturing to the left, like she wanted him to move. 

The toad's tongue retracted as Asher pulled off his trick. The icy wind blanketed the Toadeye's face and effectively covered its eyes for the time being, but the frog didn't need its sight to remember where Asher was. As he was in mid flight, the Toadeye leaped up into an effective headbutt in mid air, using its arcing leap to move to new ground. Thankfully, the ice over its face had given the fox to dig his crossbow into the ground and free himself, his bottom half coated in slimy residue. He was up at least and could provide assistance once again.
