David struggled to process everything that was going on around him. His first priority was Yuuto who was surprisingly actually lying in a puddle a short distance from him. It seemed he had gotten caught in that cyclone and had probably been slammed into the ground. [color=8882be]"Ha, David one Ninja Jesus zero."[/color] David taunted as he looked over at Katherine. It seemed that she and Rurik decided to turn up the heat, both literally and metaphorically as they beat the ever living shit out of each other. It all went down so fast that by the time he could process who was even winning the final blows were already being thrown. He watched as Katherine delivered a bitchin knee to Rurik's solar plexus, while Rurik answered with a cheap hay-maker to Katherine's jaw. He could practically feel the cracking bones as sympathy pain made his teeth clench. He immediately tried to spring to his feet to help Katherine but found that to be a terrible move as he collapsed face first into the mud writhing in silent pain. He hadn't gotten out of his fight unscathed as the pain in David's leg and on his side was far greater then he had expected. David cursed Yuuto and his parting gift as he curled up and clutched his leg and side trying to suppress the pain. He could only half pay attention to the situation as Katherine approached Rurik. To his surprise, she offered him a hand and actually helped him to his feet. [color=8882be]"Did I miss something?."[/color] David muttered dumbfounded. [color=8882be]"When the hell did they become friends?"[/color] His concerns were brushed aside when Clara started speaking her nonsense again. David was so pissed he was tempted to just blast Clara and introduce her to her own mud puddle. However, his stomach and his shin were making very compelling arguments as to why he shouldn't even think of moving. Luckily his frustrations were short-lived as Christine finally pulled through and put herself between Clara and her sister. [color=8882be]"Good on ya ice girl."[/color] he quietly cheered before witnessing and even more miraculous occurrence and that was Before Clara could even protest this new development a mysterious man, Thobias, flashed in from nowhere. He delivered a quick one-liner and just flashed away taking Katherine and Christine with him. David had mixed feelings about this development. He was glad that Katherine had finally gotten out of there, but it was hard not to feel like his efforts had been a bit wasted. He knows its a selfish thought, but he had tried his best to save the day and it hurt to be outdone by another teleporter. His personal pity party didn't last long though as he heard something stomp up to him and Yuuto. He glanced up to see Bak picking up Yuuto while whispering something to him. David's mind immediately went into high alert, [color=8882be]"Shit. I let myself get too distracted. Don't turn around big girl. I don't have my weapon."[/color] He glances around frantically for his fire nozzle to thankfully see it a few feet behind him. His thoughts racing [color=8882be]"OK, I just need to do a quick painful roll, grab the gun and send her...holy shit she's looking right at me."[/color] David froze realizing he had taken too long and Bak was now hovering right over him. David considered his options, [color=8882be]"I could try to play possum and maybe she'll pass me by, no. Maybe I just YOLO this shit and go for the gun. Ah, screw it. If I die? I die swinging!"[/color] as he made up his mind to take action. He was halted when Bak spoke in a gentle Yekaterina accent, "You are one of us. Come along. We have doctor that can help." [color=8882be]"Help?"[/color] was all David could utter before Bak suddenly started hoisting him from the ground. He grabbed onto his fire nozzle by reflex as she threw him on her shoulder opposite Yuuto. His side immediately flared in pain, and he had to clamp his mouth shut to prevent himself from screaming. He did, however, allow himself to let out a totally manly squeal as a result of the rough handling. He hadn't expected Bak to help him and was frankly in shock at this turn of events. David thought about his situation as Bak went around collecting the injured. As it stood it he wasn't going to get his ass kicked for interfering with Clara's plans, at least not right now. He suspected that some flak would be coming his way eventually. Still, he did need a Doctor and could always bail after getting patched up. The persistent pain in his leg and side was starting to clear up finally. He could probably walk on his own now, but he figured as long as everyone kept thinking he was seriously injured they'd be less likely to yell at him. [color=8882be]"Huh?"[/color] David breathed as he felt a familiar itch in his skin, [color=8882be]"Oh fuck its back!"[/color] He exclaims in shock. It seemed that whatever power had disrupted his Crisis left with the pain. His head started pulsing with a new even worse than Katherine headache. David didn't know what could possibly be worse than and escaped Demon, but knew he couldn't ignore the call for long. He had never tried using "Crisis" while being bunched up with other people before. He after all never liked the idea of getting other people involved with his bullshit. It was hypocritical considered he interfered in other peoples affairs, but he blamed this on his powers. He didn't know if it would actually bring other people with him, but if it did work and he was to bring all these tired and injured people with him to whatever bullshit disaster was causing him such agony. He couldn't even imagine the world of shit they would all be in. His thoughts were already getting hazy as he heard a loud ringing in his ears. He tries his best to mutter a spit out a warning, [color=8882be]"Get...Away...From...Me...Its...Not...Safe."[/color] At this point, the bubbling felt like someone had shaken a soda and let it loose in his veins. Bak may even notice that the veins on David's body had started to protrude a bit with a bubbly blue glow now visible through the skin. He tried to hold on a few more seconds, but Bak wouldn't drop him so he could only hope someone had gotten a chance to get clear. He craned his neck and then once again screamed at the top of his lungs, [color=8882be]"CRISIS!!!"[/color] The whole group would see a massive portal open in the sky above them and quickly descend over Bak and David and any unlucky enough to still be with them. The Arena As shells rained down upon the arena a large purple portal would open and deposit everyone right in front of the Brute Cultist during the active firestorm. David had no words for the situation he was now in. The monster and explosions everywhere told him he had landed right in the middle of a massive shit storm. He wasn't normally a pessimistic guy, but he honestly was questioning whether or not getting blowing up was less painful than getting ripped limb from limb by whatever unholy abomination he was currently looking at. [color=8882be]"Oh, Well if I'm gonna die. I'm going swinging."[/color] David would fling himself off of Bak's back, now able to do so without the unbearable pain, yell, [color=8882be]"Close."[/color] all the circles on his chest would vanish and back in the park 6/7ths of all the water on the ground would suddenly vanish into blue light and dissipate. David was ready. If that cultist made a move at them he'd introduce him to 300 PSI of fuck you.
