Call him paranoid, call him stupid even. But he ran, no destination in mind but just, anywhere but there. And yet, a tinge of guilt gnawed at his mind. Was...he wrong to assume? Mary had looked to him for comfort, one kid to another, and he pulled a stunt like that?? What was he thinking? No, of course it was okay for him to be sca- [i]suspicious[/i] of them! Who the hell waltzes up and portals someone to timbuktu in the middle of their conversation?! His eyes widened. Oh god, he forgot about Betty! His running speed started to slow down as he thought of what to do next. He frowned. Is it too late to apologize to Mary? Can he still find out where Betty dissapeared to?? He finally stopped in his tracks. Maybe it wasn't too late! Come on you idiot, run back while you still- His choice would've been interrupted regardless. He felt the ground shake, causing him to tense up again. Fable looked around to find the source. The source in question being a giant-ass crab of crabs 100 meters from his location and rapidly aproaching, and [i]he[/i] appeared to be caught in it's crosshairs! And the smaller parts that made up the Behemoth were...dancing?? Okay not the weirdest thing he's seen but still probs deadly. Though what surprised him more was someone else trying to fend it off by themselves, narrowly dodging the crab's attacks with grace. He would've thought that was cool if common sense didn't say soloing a boss was a gamble and a deathwish all the same. And what do you do when a boss gives you trouble? You call for support. Thus Fable received a notification from Shimr. He quickly grabbed his phone to check. Damn, he even forgot the two other factions had put out bounties earlier. He read through the recent one from GEMINI. Crab Rave, Behemoth, Richter Street. The boy gulped down any fears he had. In time to see the behemoth start blasting groups of crabs at his direction. With a yelp, he ducked on instinct. The blasts landed behind him creating smaller constructs of the monster itself that still had the same ill intent as it's original. He was cornered. Backing away from the minion behemoths behind him, Fable sobered up his thoughts. Enough running. Grimore in hand, he reeled his arm in. And once he opened the pocket watch, he casted his arm back out, a flash of light transforming both it and himself instantly.

Standing in place of the meek boy, the Timekeeper took a battle stance. As much as he wanted to go help the doctor lady with the main event, he had to clear through these two idiots first. Who knows, maybe cutting out the pieces will help! Steady your breathing. Start out small. [i][color=Goldenrod]Let's hope my aim doesn't suck![/color][/i] He thought, ribbons of electricity flowing across his arm. The mechanical boy then fired a bolt in between the smaller Crab Raves, intenting to catch them both in the attack. Once the projectile hit, the area around them would act akin to a pool of water conducting electricity. Not really as high voltage, but still pretty painful. If the monsters weren't stalled long, the Timekeeper would follow up, slashing at them with his rapier.
