[b]"First of all, Theo,"[/b] Alto said raising his left arm, [b]"Keep him busy."[/b]

A humanoid entity made of glowing blue energy jumped out from his left hand and ran forward to engage Taylor. On the way, Alto got a black vein to spit out a spear for the projection to use.

[b]"I don't really know if this is right,"[/b] He said, voice lowering to a whisper, [b]"But I'm assuming that your hole thing is a straight up portal, on the basis of toon physics."[/b] He quickly looked over his shoulder to check that the projection was still keeping Taylor occupied before continuing. [b]"That beam of his he likes so much can destroy pretty much anything, and if I'm right we can use it against him."[/b]

Behind him, he felt the projection get cut in half, only to reform again. He stood up and formed dual black-steel tantos, one for each hand.

[b]"I'm going to keep him occupied until he gets his beam out again,"[/b] He said to the toon, [b]"Be ready for it, and make sure he gets hit."[/b]

With that, he turned around and charged.
