Excerpt: Crash2

But the Abomination would have none of that. It knew, or perhaps its controllers knew what was being attempted. It attacked with a ferocity that the attacker couldn't manage as long as it could think. It ripped him apart, time after time as the limbs regenerated even faster than it could tear. The flesh that became carved healed before the fingers even left. The holes opened and closed like it was just dipping into sand. It could do nothing, he could do nothing. A maddening stalemate. One that the thing's controllers were most enraged at.

It had to be a universe traveler. Probably something from the Anti. Shane charged his spell, the same one he had used to destroy the last humanoid form he encountered. The thing that looked human but wasn't just stood there, its features slowly slipping into a smug sense of confidence. Shane hated that look, wanted to wipe it clean off its face. He released the spell, a simple but powerful single line lighting shot. The attack impacted directly on its face.

"Oooooh, tingly!" It said.

---

"Don't make me eat you, I could just steal your jumping."

Shane smiled, he had an edge, and he was gonna drive it in, "I'm really boney, not good for a diet. Also I can't jump. At all."

---

"I said be a man blast it!" Crash2 slapped Shane aside and sent him skidding down the hall.

"You bastard!" Shane flipped himself upright and looked at the dancing Crash2.

"Watcha gonna do? Bleed on me? Hahaha, I kill me. Well, kill you."

---

"Maybe we're just a bad match?" Shane said. Ignoring that they were being strangled by the string of fate.

"But really, we shouldn't you know?"

"Why's that?" Shane wondered.

"Well," she placed her hand on her chin, "we're childhood acquaintances, we bounce of each other real well, we're brutally honest, and we've built up hatred to such a degree we could never be more unhappy."

"Those are all awful, awful reasons."

---

"Try all you like. Without arms, without legs you cannot use it. Trash like you even thinking of touching a such a Divine thing. If I didn't loath human screams so much I'd let you feel the pain you deserve."

"Pft, human screams are awesome you crap."

"You!"

Crash2 stood between the three, he was smiling at it all.

---

"So in love, so strong together like a Saturday morning cartoon cast! Silly pie juggling." Crash randomly said.

"Oh crap, he's gone insane again!" Michelle said in a panic.

"Run!" Shane yelled.

"Pie, pie, love me some pie!" Pies appeared. Somehow. The freshly baked pies began flew at the two running humans like bullets, inflicting devastating baked good damage on both. Sadly they were fine and the pies were lost. Semper Pie.

"Hey, what are you two sillies doing on the ground with pie guts?" Crah2 gasped, "No, you're not those pie murderers I've been chasing?"

Crash2 ran over and tasted one of the pies on Shane. He began weeping, "Blueberry! Blueberry noooooooo!"

"I hate my life." Shane plainly stated.

---

"Unholy Beast," the High Guardian said like it was the most vile thing.

"Why does everything always add some negative. It's just Beast!"

"You knew," Michelle turned towards Crash2," you knew he was here! That's why you stayed!"

"Yep, hell, I could buy the Dawn Universe with a penny on these odds."

---

"Well," Crash2 said drawing out the word, "The school is still currently open! Yep, end of the world coming and they're still forcing brats to march ever onwards!"

"So you're gonna enroll and bug him like you did me?" Shane asked.

"No, I'm gonna enroll all of us and bug him.

"What?"

"Papers have already gone through! Starting Tuesday we're all in every single class he has!"

"You're giving us only one more day of rest!"

"Well, more like half, clock just went into the afternoon." Crash told him.

---

"Swanky, my first misconduct report!"

"That's not something to be happy about." Mr. Haverson was almost back to shouting. "Ms. Michelle, please continue."

She sighed, "My name is Michelle F-"

"Full frontal!" the second shouted!

"You annoying rat bastard," she socked him, making him keel over.

"What is wrong with the three of you?" Mr. Haverson said in disbelief. "Detention, for the lot of you!"

"What'd I do?" the first said.

"You annoyed me."

"Such a fine, upstanding model of a teacher folks!"

---

"This level of basic politeness is kinda annoying," Shane's eyebrow twitched. He hadn't had such a normal conversation for so long he wasn't used to it.

"I know what you mean, but hey a Gailian! Gotta be important else they wouldn't waste one."

"Waste?" Conrad asked.

"There's what? Maybe 10,000 of them? Not worth using to attack something they would die against."

"9,978 actually." The Gailian answered Crash2's estimate.

"So, slow."

"We have no idea what you're talking about." Shane said for the group.

"Not surprising, you're memories are all muddled. Still. Probably even forgot her." Crash2 pointed at Liane.

"Oh god Liane!" Conrad knelt down and checked on her. Mentally torturing himself for forgetting.

---

"Alright, just don't kick his ass too bad, we want some too," Shane boasted.

"Ha! Promise."

"How do we know you'll keep it?" Conrad questioned.

"Kept my promise with Hell Biker didn't I?"

"And you're an ass for that!" Michelle shouted at him before phasing away.

---

"You really think it so easy? That I would let you survive? Much less win?"

Crash2 checked himself from releasing the Empathy he had linked in caution. "You don't really have a say in the matter do ya? Specially now that it's dead."

"How foolish. It will never die. It will outlast us all."

"How sad, you must have a really short lifespan. Oh wait, you do! I'm coming down to kick your ass, your master's ass, and the ass of everything in between!"

---

"I'm such a goddamn wimp," he said as he stopped laughing. "I'll fight, I'll fight until nothing of me remains. I'll fight so hard, so ferociously to protect you that the last thing I do will burn my face into the mindless things thoughts"

---

"I'm just," Crash2 posed, "that damn good! Ooorah!"

"It let you have it? Wow, even an amorphous blob pities you," Michelle looked down her nose at him.

A ghostly mirage appeared in front of the four. "The Mistress is ready for you now," the ghostly girl said and bowed.
