Laughing at Rick's comments, Felix missed the first tiny spark of electricity that passed between them as he helped the other man up. He did not miss the second. The jolt of energy that shot through Felix's hand and up his arm was enough to stagger the lanky young man, his grip spasming tight around Rick's. Eyes going wide, he shot Rick a worried look. [color=f26522]"Ahh... I don't think we're out of the woods yet."[/color]

Sure enough, a third and forth bolt of electricity sparked forth from where their hands met, running up Felix's arm, clearly visible now. The smell of ozone filled the air and Felix felt his stomach do a flip as goosebumps ran down his body. [color=f26522]"Oh, that's not good."[/color] More and more bolts of energy crackled out from between his hand and Rick's, these ones reaching out into empty air rather than grounding themselves into anything. [color=f26522]"Really, [i]really[/i] not good..."[/color] He muttered eyes darting to and fro before letting out a surprised yelp as he felt his feet start to leave the ground.

[color=f26522]"Oh, Fuuu!-"[/color]

At that point everything really went to hell. Gravity seemed to stop working entirely. Felix, Rick, the Professor, all of Felix's notes, the desks, filing cabinets and literally anything not nailed to the floor or wall began to drift upwards. Where the lightning bolts hit empty air, little tears and rifts briefly formed, like staticky spots of empty black void. [color=f26522]"God damnit, when I thought it might be aliens, I was fucking joking!"[/color] Felix swore.

As they floated there, the bolts of energy coalesced into a single direction and a single massive tear formed before them. Any further snark from Felix was cut off as he blinked, not entirely sure what he was looking at. Through the warbling rift two bright golden eyes burned, almost as if staring into his soul. Then a taloned hand punched through the image and grabbed hold of the edge of the rift. [color=f26522]"Nope! Nope, no-"[/color] A second clawed hand rent it's way through the ether and grabbed hold of the other side of the rift.

With a reality wrenching [i]*pop*[/i] the... thing pulled itself through into the lab. An unnatural mix of matted fur and glimmering bug-like carapace, it floated there for a second before gravity returned with the crash of tables and cabinets. Clambering to it's feet, the monster sucked in a sharp breath, and screamed; rage, pain and an all devouring hunger reverberating through the room. Glittering beady black eyes stared down at the boys as it reared back to it's full height of an imposing seven feet and flexed it's claws; obsidian-black sickles, each a good six inches from tip to base.

[color=f26522]"Fuck."[/color] Felix muttered under his breath as he scrabbled backwards across the floor, shoes struggling to find purchase.
