"I wish you had killed one of us, then we could sue your pink-haired, sea-foam-green paint job, girly-screaming, pansy-ass for all it's worth!" The most aggressive dupe shouted quickly back. "Want to try and take me now? C'mon, big man! Try it!"
The second dupe had been standing right beside him, nodding and encouraging... until the talk of trying to kill him now came up. Then he went rather pale faced and started to back away. That was when Prime quickly stepped up.
"Hey hey now, cool it, everyone," he tried to reason, wiping blood off his scraped cheek. "Let's just all take a breath here..."
"You MURDERER!" A shout of horror suddenly went up, pulling the attention of all the dupes towards the car. The most dramatic of the dupes stood there, pointing in horror to a white splatter on it. "You killed the ice cream? Why? WHY GOD WHY?" He shouted, dropping to his knees and clutching at his head.
"That's it, I'm kicking his ass," the aggressive dupe suddenly decided, stalking towards the dramatic one.
"We didn't even like the ice cream," another chimed up with a reminder.
"Someone absorb him and get it over with," the one clutching his back more moaned than spoke.
Prime, gripping his now aching head, had to remind himself to take a few deep breaths. "Ok, everyone just relax a moment!" He half shouted. He looked up and towards Scion again, then to the aggressive dupe who had the dramatic one by the shirt collar, then back to the dupe in pain. He tipped his head back with a frustrated moan and put up one hand towards Fredrick. "Excuse me, one moment."
"...Yeah! A moment!" The second dupe quipped in a poor attempt to make it sound like a threat.
He then sprinted to the car and grabbed the aggressive and dramatic dupes both by the shoulders. With a flash of gold light, both men vanished... into Jamie. Now that was a sight.
"Absorb me too, Jamie," the dupe rubbing his back moaned. "My back hurts so bad..."
"Do not kill yourselves, Jamie," Prime muttered to himself as he rubbed his face, trying to build up the momentum to face Scion again. "Do not kill yourselves..."
