Asura felt the Flak Beetles exoskeleton crack and give slightly from that in close Smash. If he had more room he'd have probably crushed it. Before he could wind up for another blow he was suddenly dragged out along with the Beetle. Sky, Beetle, then Ardur was revealed to have been the pulling culprit. Honestly Asura would have preferred to stay in the narrow confines where the Beetle had literally no chance to fight back. Still, he was out and had to deal with it now. But the Beetle was trying to get the webbing of the Spider off instead of trying to right itself.

Steve zipped in and gave it a good bite, before backing off as a spark of flames popped up. [color=red][i] Uh oh...Bombadier type of beetle?[/i][/color] He thought questioningly before Mother Slime got fed up. She had remembered his plan from when Rattleskull still lived to use the bones as weapons. The had made herself a morningstar essentially and crushed the Flak Beetle quite dead. [color=red]"Ardur, Steve, get back!"[/color] He exclaimed, actually shoving the pair away as the older slime lifted her cudgel. The chemicals of the insect caught fire with oxygen and was spreading from the corpse and had covered Mother Slime when she squished it. She obviously yelled for him to help since fire, nearly feral being, no mix goodly.

Lunging forward he spread himself out to blanket Mother Slime to smother the flames with his own liquid-like body. [color=red]"Smother it! Kick dirt onto this shit![/color] He yelled while also trying to absorb the substance into himself while trying to put the flames out on the trapped Mother Slime. Why she didn't 'suck it in' like she had before when he was being attacked in a Dire Rat tunnel he didn't know. But she was simple minded, so he was trying to do what he could to help her.
