Bob was meadowlarking* behind the front side of the tunnel. He was watching and listening to what was going on. It did not sound too good for him.

[Well yeah... I mean, one of your allies just freakin' DIED over there. >_<]

"Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap on a crap cracker." he whispered to himself, sweat forming on his brow. "This girl is nothing but trouble. And she wants to extract that trouble on me. Oh man... oh man..."
 
What could he do to defend himself? He had no special abilities. No "PK Fiya." No "PK Thunda." Not even "PK Dustbunny." (Not like "PK Dustbunny" would even help him at all.

[You never know, it depends on how convoluted the maker of 'PK Dustbunny' makes the ability. But yeah, again ZXD highlights the central shortcoming of Bob in his lack of mystical abilities. :P]

He had to get her away from them. He had to do this for the sake of the human race. So what if he could lose his life. It was for the sake of the people from which Sandra was spawned. He took a flying leap out into the street.

[And the people from who spawned YOU I might remind you, young man. :P]

"HEY! OVER HERE!" he shouted, flailing his wiry arms about.

"Huh...?" gasped Crypha, turning to face him.

Her eyes lit up with a childlike glee once more. She skipped over to Bob. He shivered a little, mostly from the cold, but he was actually a little frightened. After all, you'd be scared too if you were defenseless against a powerful creature.

[Bob has balls, let's not lie. He's already been nailed by Crypha once, and survived. :P]

"Uh... hello."

"Hi!" she giggled. "Can I have a big hug?"

["I seem to have this itch to freeze you in ice for eternity." ^_^]

"Oh no, not agai-"

But it was too late. She wrapped her arms around Bob. You could almost hear him yelling through the electrical zapping.

"Ow."

["Ow." That sounds a lot more monotonous than it does like yelling. XD]

More zapping could be heard.

"... ow..."
 
It was getting quite monotonous now.

"... ... ow ..."

[Looks like that was the idea ZXD was going for from the start, doh. :P]

She giggled, looking at Bob twitch a bit before falling face first onto the ground.

"I like you. You're funny. Gimme another hug."

Bob held out his arms, yelling in defense.

[Damn, he recovered faster than normal. Maybe his endurance is superhuman after all. :P]

"Nonononononononnoononoonononoono! Wait! Look at what I can do!" he said.

He stood in line with the tunnel and the sun and held out his hands. He looked back at Crypha, surprised to see she was watching attentively.

[LOL nice, shadow-puppets. Let's see what happens. XD]

Finally he exclaimed with joy, "Uh... wait... hmm... aha! Look, it's a doggie!"

Crypha was amazed.

"Wow! That's cool! How'd you do that?"

[Wow, she really IS like a little girl around Bob. o.O]

"That's something we may never know."
 
All the while the remainder of the group was watching wide-eyed from the other end of the bridge. They didn't know whether to attack or to leave them be.

(* Meadowlarking is my word for hanging around in secrecy, usually to watch a struggle, but avoid getting caught up in it.)

(** I'd also like to note that her sudden change of personality is due to an imbalance. She's erratic near others, but Bob has charmed her for some silly reason.)

[Yes, this is basically where Bob staked a claim on Crypha as his second AC. Although they're not fully out of the woods yet, this is where Crypha became one of us. :P]
