"It does now, you nutless ********> he growled, his eyes dilated to that of his alligator form. His strength seemed to expand to that of ten men. He threw an earth-shaking right hook towards Kane's Jaw, working up to his feet. However, his skin was starting to become green and scaly, his two fists started becoming claws . . . fangs were growing, however he strangely remained more human than before. His rational human side was struggling to remain in control . . . or were they . . . . working together?!
"You're a dead man." Arell's forms said in unison. His voice becoming a low, menacing growl compared to the lighthearted, earthy rasp that Arell's regular voice had. This was new to say the least. He stepped forward, revealing the teeth. With the guns, knife, claws and teeth, Arell was not a happy-go-lucky bounty hunter or a hungry alligator from the bayou. This was a walking ARSENAL.
Dundee heard it from above. Oh s**t . . . what happened?! he thought, unable to move. He hoped C.J. was out of the way and that the Calvary knew to go for the two disabled ones first before handling them!

"Then in association that makes you mine."
He liked the way that this person had transformed. Was this the protector of the two he'd captured. The reason he'd won so quickly and without effort was because their leader was away. If he could get a sample of this man, and saw how he could transform with such ease. The thought crossed his mind but not before his own safety. Kane flipped back away staggering due to the hits he'd received from the transforming Gator.
"But Maybe another time Son. Uncle Kane has to go and whip up some more pets before he visits again."
He didn't have time to sift or pull out a tranquilizer so he made for a hasty retreat through the ceiling jumping up high into a hole above. Once above he ran towards the nearest fire exit disappearing into the smoke hoping that he hadn't been followed by either of the two who shown. Kane had sustained several blunt force injuries, and some severe scrapes from the man making his escape slowed. Drops of blood trailed behind him and he held to his shoulder which had been hurt by the gator, whose strength was far greater than he could muster up in defense at that point.

Macready saw Kane dissapear throught the skylight. Pulling cord launcher, Big Daddy fires a grapple, latches it, and has the automatic wench pull him up. Once at the same level at Dr. Rockwell, Macready pulled himself the rest of the way up and followed the doctor through the fireescpe in hot pursuit.
(He's almost in cop mode.)
When Jinx followed Kai and Richard, she shimmied up the manhole cover and closed on the building from where the shots rang out....

"Like hell I am. PREPARE TO DIE!!" the gator-man roared, bringing out the Sawed-off, breaking the trigger guard off without thinking, he took aim at the man, firing off a shot or two before all animalistic behavior, dropping the shotgun next to him as the savage animal. He attempted to pursue his wounded prey, but his stubby alligator legs had failed to jump high enough to reach the fire escape . . . and his stamina wasn't lasting long as the animal form . . . he slowly reverted back to human form. His jeans now torn shorts, his shirt ripped at the sleeves from the transformation.
He picked up his gun and pointed it at the man.
"Next time, man. To the death." he growled, holstering the shotgun, he walked over to C.J. and picked him up. Benoit was badly injured. Sure, Crystal was his girlfriend, but family came first. He knew the boys that were injured for years, they were the only family that still considered him family or knew he was out there in the world.
He walked over to his pickup truck and laid down C.J. on the tailgate. His t-shirt bloody from where the snake bit him. He pulled out an old first aid kit that looked like it was surplus from Vietnam . . . or Desert Storm. He worked to patch up C.J.'s wounds. Not making a sound. He looked up into the room. He knew something was up. Walking into the building, he found Dundee paralyzed on the couch. Tears welled up in the big Cajun's eyes. It broke his heart severely that he put his brothers in danger like this. Whoever this Kane was, had now become a sworn enemy of Arell.
However, despite his mind and his spirit determined to go after Kane and finish the job or go find Crystal, his body couldn't keep up with it. He took Dundee out next to C.J. and sat down, catching his breath. He looked at Red Cardinal, Jinx, Nightwing and watched Macready take off, following Kane in hot pursuit.
He couldn't believe it. One person from backup he could have sworn hated him, Nightwing almost arrested Dundee and Arell in the past, Jinx . . . well he hadn't met Jinx yet. "Jus' lemme catch my breath . . . I'll finish 'im off." he said. Unaware that he was injured too. Sure Kane had gotten some pretty nasty blows but . . . this time, the Cajun "family" had lost. He mentally was cursing himself for EVER leaving the two younger men to face someone like that alone.
Dundee watched the grown man catching his breath, barely hiding his emotions on the whole thing. Because of his idiocy of not staying at the fight, Arell was beating himself up. Goddamn . . . he really DOES show emotion! Dundee thought.

Kai ran up to the truck, as fast as they tried to get there the fight was already over. For good it seemed as Kane didn't even wish to stay around a moment longer. When she reached the truck she noticed the two cajuns laying down and Arell.
"What, happened? Did you kill Dr. Chimera?"
She held her hands over C.J.'s obvious injury to heal him her wings disappearing as she done so. A small red aura formed around her hands that slowly whisped away into non existance. Kai shook her hands off a bit and then held them back up to C.J. pulling closer to try and heal him further. What she planned wasn't working, she would heal his wound forcing out the toxins from his blood in the process but it seemed as though her aura would not cooperate with her.
"Somethings wrong, why can't I do this? Did you take something from Kane Arell? Did you witness anything he did to these two? Chemicals, creatures, anything... it will greatly help."
Kai was obviously upset, more or less that Arell was there, and more people had gotten hurt. That and her powers refused to work for her. She couldn't even begin to help Dundee or Arell till she could start getting them working again.
Kane fled from Macready and after jumping to a nearby Fire escape across the ally he turned and threw a chemical towards Macready after popping off the cap. The chemical sprayed across the area, any skin exposed to it would start to burn painfully but with little damage. Hopefully it would work as a distraction. He made it to the roof, running and jumping off into a dark ally where he disappeared into the wires, tarps, and debris out of sight.
((Jinx would notice something is up, Maybe Arell if he asked. Arell might notice the heavy pink and silver necklace showing through Dundee's white shirt pocket. Oh and maybe Grayson should follow Macready, whoever is playing Grayson at this current time since it seems Oncaro is back ^^ .))

Arell looked at Kai, then at Dundee, a small bulge coming out of his shirt. "Looks like de snake got C.J. . . . an' a paralysis drug on Dundee. I know he's still alive, but not by much. Howevah, looks like Dr. Demented left a present befo' he tried to leave." he growled, reaching into Dundee's pocket and pulling out the necklace.
"If I EVER catch him again, he ain't gonna be so lucky." he growled. The look in Arell's eyes was a serious one. This was a look of pure bloodlust and vengeance. The moment he and Kane were in the same room again, if someone didn't try to hold the massive, gunslinging were-gator Cajun back, only one of 'em was gonna leave that room alive. The other . . . well, the writer, since he's still quite happy that today is Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras) in real life, would rather NOT get into the fate of who was gonna be still in that room after the fight ended.
Dundee looked around, realizing he wasn't on the couch anymore, he was still paralyzed, but now safe. Kai was working on healing the still unconscious C.J., but contrary to the aura not working . . . seemed to slowly wake up on his own.
"Ugh . . . easy kiddo. I've drank worse than what that snake had t' handle." he said as he eased himself up into a sitting position, shaking the cobwebs out. He looked down at his shirt. Yep, the snake got him. He looked at Kai as he grabbed his baseball cap and placed it back on his head.
"Got an antidote for him?" he asked, nudging for Dundee, who was still stiff as a board.
"Him" has a name, numbnuts. Dundee thought.

"I don't have any antidotes... And I guess the venom of the snake wore off on you but you could still need an antidote as well for the effects. Not sure if he's going to be okay though..."
Kai looked to Dundee addressing the paralyzed man. She noticed the necklace that Arell pulled out of Dundee's shirt. She didn't think of touching it and instead looked at Arell.
"Has this dude had that necklace this whole time?"
She asked almost in a snarky remark. A guy carrying a pink necklace, well that's unheard of. And Gasp to the audience. Kai shook her head and rubbed her temple a bit feeling a bit tired now.

"All I know is I have a bitchin' hangover . . . then again, if he had that this whole time . . . then Arell, you owe me five bucks! I knew there was soemthin' funny 'bout him!" C.J. said, smirking a little bit as Arell looked at C.J.
"Hey, man! You wasn't dere t' see if he had it." Arell growled, playfully punching C.J. in the shoulder.
"Neither were you, turkey. However, boy am I glad t' see y'all 'stead a tall, dark an' ugly." C.J. quipped referring to Dr. Kane.
Dundee looked up at Kai. Antidote? My muscles just need a jump start. Hook me up to a damn car battery and get me back in action! he thought, rolling his eyes. Whatever was in that vial seemed to prevent the body from moving, but not his attitude.
"Whatevah it is, snake dude prob'ly planted it on him. Prob'ly a counter t' yer aurora powers, RC. Dundee would explain it bettah on how it works, but right now, we got bigger fish t' fry." Arell said, picking up the necklace and moving it away from RC and over by a street lamp about a block over. "Try it now!" the big Cajun said.

"Yea, Figures... Although you can't kill the guy... He deserves an a** beating but not killing."
Kai pulled up to C.J. and began healing his wound, better than before but still rather weakly.
"And, just because I'm healing you doesn't mean I've forgiven you for the legs comment, or Arell for Shooting me."
She quipped in more of a cocky tone, showing that she wasn't angry still but kinda upset about either ordeal. C.J.'s wounds healed up blood coming from the wounds neared the Cardinal red Vigilante's hands pushing out some of the venom with it despite not being visible apart from the blood. After healing him up to a point she turned and laid down on her back in the bed of the pickup truck taking a deep breath. She couldn't help that her energy was taken when that crystal was placed there and she spent a bit on C.J. She had to wait a bit for it to return without stressing her personal aura to try and by for another that she'd had.
((I think we must wait for Grayson and Jinx ^^ wink )

"Arell shot you?!? Hell I was horsin' around with that comment, but daaamn. SOMEONE was playing hardball!" C.J. said with a smirk and looked down at her. "No worries, Kai. Thanks for helping me out." he said as Arell came back up the road.
"How are ya, che'?" Arell asked as C.J. got up, stretching a little.
"I'm fine, dude. Now apologize for shootin' Le- err Red Cardinal fer shootin' her." he said as he pulled out a pack of gum. "Any a' y'all want some?" he asked.
"What?! I already tried that . . . it didn't work that time." Arell replied offended as C.J. looked at Arell.
"Just make peace . . . or at least try two. Don't want the writers to run outta ideas." he said with a shrug. Arell stood there looking confused as Dundee laid there.
"Will someone PLEASE get the ******** venom outta me?!" Dundee thought, eying the hole in his chest where the needle went. It should be like sucking out the venom from a rattler, right?
((Right. Oy! Soulless, Skuldy! Y'all alive?!))

When Jinx saw the cursed necklace, 'Batgirl' realized what the item was. Pulling a handkerchief from her utility belt, Jinx picked up the necklace without actually touching it tossing it in the corner of the room, "If you want, I could try hexing that thing into dust, RC."
.................
Macready dove to the side avoiding most of the spray. Fortuantely for him. his body armor with the gasmask covered him from skin exposure. In the midst of his dive, the cowled vigilante flung a flash bang at Dr. Rockwell to disorient him.
Rolling into a run, Macready lept across the rooftop after the mad doctor. Once landing on the other roof, Macready rolled into a crouch with his MP5 ready to fire at Dr. Rockwell.

Kane dove into the shadows to avoid the man who pursued him desperately trying to catch him. He was becoming quiet unnerved that someone would go to such lengths to arrest him... after having let those boys go. That man had determination but it was about time that Kane gave him the slip. He jumped into a manhole cover in the alleyway pulling the lid over top of him to seal it back shot taking to the sewers.
Kai leaned up nearly falling over as she did so from the blood rushing to her head. She grabbed the side of the truck and looked at Jinx for a moment thinking of what to say.
"That's not nessasary, I think Arell got it far enough away not to kill me or something... it's not. Cursed, it's just a pure crystal, is all... no need to destroy it."
She sighed and sat up completely hopping to her feet.
"Maybe I should attempt to heal Dundee somewhere safe... for now can we get out of here?"

C.J. nodded at Kai's response. "Prob'ly a wise decision. We're not quite all that safe while that punk's still livin'." he said as Arell got the keys for his pickup truck.
I REALLY hope they're not gonna leave me on the tailgate to ride this out. Dundee thought, the look in his eyes was that of agitation and worry. Arell looked back down at the paralyzed guy and back up at the group.
"We'd bettah get him outta heah conspi-" he was cut off from a glare by C.J.
"Elija sus próximas palabras sabiamente, imbécil. Remember, I was taken in by a nice Puerto Rican family for a while. You'd better not dis them by usin' that word." C.J. growled at the Cajun. For some odd reason he HATED the word Conspicuous. Of course, C.J. hated ANY word with "S-P-I-C" in it.
"Well, we'd bettah get outta heah without bein' seen. Dat better?" Arell asked C.J., who nodded.

"Yea, well, he can stay alive... Anyway, I am not sure if I should take this truck with you guys and make sure this dude doesn't get banged up more... or if I should take Grayson's bike back."
Grayson was standing near Kai by this time, he was quiet listening to the Cajun's he nearly arrested. Grayson shook his head and finally spoke out...
"Look, I guess you should make sure they get to a safe place. I can handle Dr. Rocknell if he decides to show back up Kai."
Grayson had his helmet in one arm looking over at the group. He smiled a little and then looked back to his bike.
"Besides, you already got to ride with me. Most girls dream of riding a cycle with a guy as hot as myself."
A long awaited comment that he was meaning to say. Grayson needed opportunities like this to speak his mind, as he always does, to release the tension and lift the mood of their work in Gotham.
((Grayson not being posted for was driving me up a giant blue striped black brick wall 8I That and Soul has lost internet connections somehow so I decided to post to help catch him up 3nodding ))

C.J. and Arell looked at Kai with confusion. Keep him ALIVE?! What kinda nutcase world did they get dropped in?! Then again, being guys who were bringing Old West methods of handling justice into 21st century Gotham was probably not the best idea. However, Arell did like the idea of Dr. Kane swinging from a rope.
However, Arell spoke up. "I'll put 'im in de backseat." he said with a smirk, carefully putting the stiff Dundee in the back, careful not to break anything. C.J. looked at the bunch, especially at Nightwing and Kai. Grayson sure seemed full of himself, but hey, it was nice to see that he came out to help. Nice to see ALL of them.
