Snippet #1759242

Markus struggled against the pull of gravity, in his weakened state finding it difficult. With a cry he managed to force himself to his feet, and though he couldn't feel it he knew he had snapped a tendon in his left leg. "You... Little..." He managed to grind out, before collapsing again, this time due to a powerful blow to his unguarded flank, followed by a strike to the back of his head. He was out without even seeing his attacker. As he fell, his body began to deflate like a punctured balloon, returning to the original size of his human vessel. leaving a naked body lying in the middle of the street.

Riku shook his head and smiled. "I never was good at sports..." He muttered before leaning backwards, and dropping off the side of the building after Ghirahim, and in a similar fashion, disappearing before hitting the ground. If one were to have some sort of power to view Riku traveling through time-space, disregarding the absence of moving light, you'd have seen him moving in the direction of Markus, coming to a stop a meter away from the hulking Brute, then after a moments contemplation, kicking the beast in the notch behind his knee lightly. Now lightly is all relative to the plane of time you are operating on, to Riku it was light, but to Markus, it was really one hell of a kick. Entering back into real-time Riku could feel his the appearance of multiple fractures in the foot he kicked Markus with.
'Damn, just a touch too hard...' He thought, as he caught the falling giant's head with an uppercut. Markus returned to his normal state, and Riku changed his focus to the demon hovering above them.
"Sorry about that mate, things are getting out of hand. I'm giving you a handicap here, me and Bane over here are out of the fight, leaving it as an apparently two-versus-six fight, very nice of me right? But don't get too comfortable, the two you're going up against are a lot smarter than muscle freak here..." Riku waved his hand in the direction of Markus, "And with that, our gallant hero exits stage-left."
Riku strolled over to Markus, feeling the effects of the gravitational singularity created by the demon overhead, but not showing any signs of slowing. He bent over, and hefted the nude body of Markus up onto his shoulder. With is free hand he gave the fancy dress demon a little salute, before disappearing, leaving only a little cloud of dust around where his feet had been.

Riku reached the Black Emissionaries' base, appearing slightly flushed and a little short on breath. He dropped Markus and loosened his tie, before setting off yelling at the top of his lungs, "Niel! Markus is down! Get someone to patch him up!"
He didn't wait for a response, instead he limped back to his quarters for a little rest.
