And now we dig into the action again, friends!

Or friend.. since there's probably only one person reading this at a time.

We're back to the Todd/ Dash pairing, so you know it's gonna be good.

 
Harsh language

Todd groaned and rubbed his jaw. The world was taking its sweet time coming into focus and for some reason the fox knew that would be a bad thing if it lasted. He shook his head, rolling to his side- watching shadowy forms dance...

Oh yeah.. the fight! The images slowly came into focus. Unsurprisingly, Sebastian Dash had gotten the upper hand over the Flipworld's distorted version of Todd Blackpaws. What had Dash called him? Darkfox? Todd smirked, wondering how far this one had flipped. From the outfit he guessed pretty far- but that might just be that the thought of Darkfox being someone's bitch was appealing at the moment.

The fighting continued another minute or so, with Darkfox becoming increasingly desperate as Dash took control. Dash soon found his opportunity, flipped Darkfox on his back, and kneeled on his chest, with Dash's longsword pressed against the fox's throat. Dash wielded Bad Beats in the other hand, slamming it into the ground barely an inch from Darkfox's head.

Dash all but growled. "Why are you two here? What's your goals?"

Darkfox gave him a grin. "What do you think? I'm here for anarchy and all the bitches I can knot! And I've seen you fight- you ain't got the balls to take my th-"

A backhand from Dash shut him up. "Done talking? Good. You don't really expect us to believe the timing is just coincidental, do you?"

The smirk only left for a moment. "We got good writers. Or yours is a hack. Either way..."

"What are you..." confused Dash asked. "Stop ripping off Shamus!"

"Who's Shamus?"

"Anyway." Dash ignored the question. "Let me be clear. If you interfere with us and we're unable to stop Kadlin, she'll destroy you as quickly as she did us. It's only a question of which world she goes for first, yours or ours."

Darkfox shrugged- well as well as he could being sat on and all. "Like I said, man. Anarchy. You think I give a shit about either world?"

Dash grabbed the fox's throat, pulling the fox closer to Dash's face. "Do you think you'll survive? You won't. Try being 'anti establishment' from a grave."

Darkfox's eyes showed that Dash's words had struck true- but the fox was sturdier than his thoughts- like most fighters. "Like I said, man. You ain't got the balls. Also-"

Dash reared back for a second backhand slap- but suddenly was entwined in someone's grasp. He didn't have to guess who it was, however, as the succubus nuzzled him and licked his ear. "mmm.. How about you and me go and..." The last words were lost in a whisper- but her paws left no doubt what was on her mind. Dash tried to throw his head back like he had before, but the succubus was ready this time, holding Dash's head in place. "Now, now, none of that."

Darkfox used the moment to extricate himself and pull a knife. "Great work bitch, now hold him and I'll gut him." But the succubus tsked the idea. "Not so fast, foxy. I plan on playing with this one until all I have left is a husk...ooo.. mmm- was your mama interested in horses hon.. I can see in your mind what you got hangin. and ooo you're not exaggerating!" She groped Dash in a very bad place.

Dash growled, summoning anger to overload.. other emotional reactions. "Let me go now, witch, and I might let you live. Now!" Bust she only moaned and groped him harder. "mmm... Your anger is delicious. It makes me feel giddy with power!" She gave him another squeeze- more confident. "Face it honey, you're mine. You might as well get this python out and enjoy it."

"Give it a rest, already," came Katherine's voice from behind the succubus- right as she lashed out with her trademark thorn whip, targeting the succubus's arms and back with painful precision. "I'm already sick of double entendres, and the bard here hasn't even started."

The succubus screamed, looking over at Katherine. "ooo.. Kinky. You must be his skank. Do you really think you got what it takes to free him from me?"

Katherine lashed out again, catching the succubus's back repeatedly. Between attacks, she managed to explain, "Well.. the thorns are tipped... with poison and... I can keep this up.. all day!"

The succubus groaned with each strike- but she still smiled. "Poison, hmm? Nasty stuff I bet- if I were mortal I might have to really worry about it. As it is-" She grabbed Dash tight in a certain place, making him cry out. "Put the toy away, bitch- and you might get him back whole when I'm done."

The attacks stopped immediately. The hand holding the whip trembled slightly. "If you do anything to him, I swear I'll.."

Katherine cut off from shock as Darkfox got behind her and gr- er- got her in a hold, We'll leave it up to you where his paws were. "Forget that loser, babe. You and me- we're gonna have a lot of f-"

He then ended with an entirely different word than he started to as Katherine lifted a foot quickly and Darkfox sank to the ground, holding his groin, muttering, "Ff-f-ffff-!" he stuttered. "Floozie! When I get up I'm gonna kill you!"

There was a solid *crack* and Darkfox loosened his grip, sliding to the ground. As Katherine turned around she saw Todd standing there with what was left of his axe. But he didn't say anything, his face serious as he pointed and ran toward Dash and the succubus.

"Catch!" Dash yelled, slipping a harmonica out of a bag on his belt and tossing it to Todd. "Please tell me you can use that, you know the tune." The succubus' eyes followed the harmonica, chuckling as Todd caught it. "Yes, Blackpaws. Show everyone just how good you are at blowing things."

Todd growled, furious at the succubus for all the trouble she was putting them through- but for a moment the tune that would help them escaped him. And then it hit him like a bolt of lightning. Bolt of Lightning, by the way, the name of one of Todd's first ever street bands. He smiled. "Suck this, hellbitch." He then began to play- the first notes cutting into the succubus like a knife. He smiled. It wasn't as good as it had been at that altar- but then he'd had better accompaniment then- and a better instrument. But the results were similar- and he felt better even with the bruises.

The succubus fell way from Dash, holding her ears, cursing wildly, like you might expect at this point. Her skin boiled up, seeming to melt off of her body. Her bones seemed to buckle under the strain of this, the holiest of harmonica music. Her nails split. (Which for a succubus, bigger deal than it might sound like.)

Todd kept it up, moving toward the succubus as she backed away. He put everything into this melody- just as he had before- and he could already feel that same wall rushing up for him to collide with.

He hoped it was enough as he lost consciousness and fell back, dropping the mouth organ.

After helping Katherine catch the bard before he could fully faceplant, Dash looked around. "Where's Dark?"

Katherine shrugged. "He let me go when I managed to sneak in a nutkick. Took off when I told him I could kick a lot harder if I wanted. He pussed out. So to speak. Anyway, I heard things were bad. Figured I'd track you down. I don't know if you're up on the situation, but things in Seaside are starting to look bad."

"Heard." Dash nodded. "And the portals here. Airship attacks, too. But I figure our first priority should be making sure anyone standing up to Kadlin gets our help."

"Even the penguins?" Katherine asked. Dash didn't have a good answer for that.

The two kept the still unconscious Todd between them as they made their way further into the mainland, mostly in silence.

Katherine is a fun addition to the fight as well, of course.

It was implied early on she had a boyfriend, but he sort of vanished as the main storyline got rolling.
