"Whoa!"

"What the fuck?!"

"What is that thing?!"

Catching quite literally everyone off-guard, Hurricroak suddenly materialized out of thin air, turned her arm into a muscular bear-like one, and suddenly elbow dropped Leech into the ground. A powerful jolt of electricity coursing through her arm and straight down Leech's throat.

[Done already? I was hoping to do an encore,] Hurricroak mentally taunted. She would have said it out loud, but she had appearances to keep.

Leech looked positively toasted in the eyes of the crowd and Hurricroak, so none of them expected him to suddenly jerk to life and grab Hurricroak by the arm and suddenly throw her to the side and towards the crowd.

As she was airborne, the smoke coming out of Leech's mouth was quickly sucked back in by the cockroach bloodliner, who was now looking a tad...neon blue.

"Strange...taste, taste, taste! Not bad though..."
