“Oof!”

He looked at Bowyetta once the birds flew away.

“Yeah, I’m fine. Are YOU oka–uh oh.”

For
some reason, he had trouble escaping the shadow’s grip, despite a fluid
body. He struggled and grunted, but it was clear it wasn’t happening.

“Magical glow orb….?”

Good thing a Wall break appeared elsewhere. This was one of the few times he found the stupid light helpful.

He
pulled a rather large vice from behind his back and put it over his
head with surprising ease. Carefully, he put it over the bulb, and made
it just tight enough to hold on to it.

“HEY, MONSTER!” he called out. “PUT US DOWN GENTLY OR THE MAGIC ORB GETS IT!”

It wouldn’t hurt. Besides, he had spare bulbs. He just hoped Bowyetta could guess that.

“W-what?! No! You WOULDN’T!“

Even Bowyetta was shocked by this. She tried to get free of the Shadow’s grasp, but it was surprisingly hard to move through the liquid metal. “M-Mr. Sir! You must not be doing that! You will being quite injured!”

The shadow seemed very unsure about what to do. She wanted them BOTH. That light would look awfully pretty on her head… But, she was in need of a new pair of legs… Maybe she could wash them off?

“ENOUGH!!” Eventually the shadow just… Sort of let go. “If I can’t have your bodies, then… Neither can YOU! I’ll crush you here and now!”

Bowyetta clunked to the ground, and rushed to help Mr. Sir. “M-Mr. Sir! What we are to be doing?!”

“Try me,” the Repairman said, smugly. Finally, some decent results. Though he’d have to explain to Bowyetta that he’d be fine either way later.

Of course, when the shadow let go, THAT’S when the vice decided to be as heavy as it looked. He flipped over, falling head-first to the ground with a CLANG!

After (for want of a better phrase) his ears stopped ringing, he found the lever for the vice to be just out of reach. He was as helpless as a turtle on its back.

Bowyetta still came to him for advice, and he was running dry. This was fairly new to him, and nothing seemed to work for long. He needed someone who has seen it all, and survived it…

“…I…don’t know,” he grunted, trying to push himself out. “Maybe we should call Bonkakira…”
