Out of the corner of his eye, Doc sees Deimos toss a bolt of magic at another team- and promptly get warned about no fighting by the organizers. Which Doc kind of has to scoff at, since sabotage is very clearly allowed. Not that it matters; they're making great progress, barreling through teams and forcing their way forward. Doc's kind of enjoying this. Maybe he should go out in the field more often himself.

Except- the fae at which Deimos had been aiming yells something at the approximation of an aberration on their team. And the aberration gets very excited.

And starts barreling towards them.

Oh no.

"Aw crap- Doc, we gotta, uh, Chu, you too- we gotta go!" Deimos flies into the air, trying to escape, a frantic look on his face. "C’mon!"

Doc twists his head to assess the situation- maybe they can turn this around- but by the 'Bringer, that aberration is fast. Faster than any slimey, sludge-y, gooey creature has any right to be, and-

While Chu twists out of the way relatively easily, Doc has to pivot hard in order to not be used as a stepping stool by the dripping aberration trying to get to Deimos. He skids across the tiles as he tries to get a grip with his claws, but quickly gives up in favor of flapping his wings, taking off into the air. Dammit- now he's missed a bunch of tiles, and while he's quick to dive back down, landing on what he thinks are the right tiles, he looks up to see Deimos sputtering as he tries to avoid the slimey aberration.

"God dammit, Deimos," he yells, trying to calculate how much time this is going to cost them. Everyone around them is taking advantage of the distraction, and Chu- of course- lands next to him, twisting together a flower crown, back off in their own world.

Oh, this is going nowhere. Doc's got half a mind to leave Deimos to deal with it, but that'd be another teammate who'd need to catch up later, and while he's sure Deimos can deal with it, who's to say that he'll deal with it in a timely manner?

Well, he'd hoped it didn't come to this... but they did say sabotage was allowed. And this isn't his natural magic, so...

Reaching into his jacket, Doc pulls out a small cylindrically shaped object.

"Chu," he says, reaching our for her and pressing her claws into his mane, "close your eyes."

He doesn't wait for Chu to confirm, quickly pulling out the pin for the weaker-than-usual flashbang he'd had Sanford prepare for him- thank you Sanford- and tossing it in the direction of Deimos and the aberration.

"Deimos, flash!"

And just as quickly, he turns away as to not get caught in his own flashbang.

Dodge that, dolts.

It was pretty funny, watching everyone scramble around the tiles like headless chickens. Bumblebee been in the middle of watching an Obelisk racing and/or wrestling with a Spiral when he felt Zim, who had previously been thrown off (whoops), leap back onto his head while spitting some interesting insults.

“Dude, what the heck are you t—”

His question was cut off when the Fae jerked his head up using his horns like some sort of method to control him. A ball of magic subsequently hit him in the jaw, leaving Bumblebee reeling for several moments. Once he could think properly again, he wasn’t very happy with his teammate.

“What the hell, man!? That wasn’t cool!”

He complained. Bumblebee tossed his head back to dislodge Zim from his little perch between his horns. No more rides from this Spiral.
