The hobgoblin's fist impacted with a dull thud, sending Ty across the width of the alleyway, to impact with cold brick. The lumbering creature snorted out some type of chuckle, and turn it's hulking body. Lips turned up to a sneering smirk, and the creature made it's slow waddle closer to Tyson. For starters, it stunk. While it was generally humanoid--albeit quite the ugly human, if it could pass for one-- the scent from it wasn't; something along the lines of mold and mildew. Like something that had been kept underground, fermented, and then exposed to the light of day. That alone was enough to make someone nauseous. As it was, the creature snorted again, before taunting, "Yoush Shom Biggy-bad? Paco swat yoush wike fwy!" Almost like another language, it was barely coherant, and not the least bit of a phrase that could actually be a taunt. Abruptly, however, Tyson was rising before it, and the creature blinked in surprise. "When yoush get big han---" It's stupid inquiry was cut off in a loud 'whoosh' as that cement gauntlet was landed in the gut. It doubled over, eyes widening, but almost immediately after, it's eyes crossed; and a loud groan slipped from it's lips. Even as Ty was making his escape, its knees dropped out from under it, and it clutched at it's crotch.
Sadly, while it would work for most enemies, hobgoblins and the like were quite literally so stupid, that pain didn't register in the same way. But moments after it fell, it was rising again, and lumbering after Ty with the same dumbly smug look upon its lips. With his slow limping, Tyson was quickly taken over, and the hobgoblin landed one meaty paw on his shoulder; spinning him around to face the beast. Another disgusting sneer, and it's arm was being pulled back. Ty could see his life flashing before his eyes, the only thoughts to come were how heartbroken Kimmie would be; her brother leaving her all alone in this mortal coil. The ham of a hand rocketed forward, towards his face...
"Now, now, I do believe...", the kind-hearted voice of the figure that had demolished Libi murmured, smiling up at the creature. One hand--one, measly, tiny hand, in comparison to that giant club of flesh--had stopped the beast, just a foot short from impact with Ty's face. The resounding concussion of air was nowhere near what it was back in the building, but a slight breeze did stir past Tyson's hair. Yet, the old man pulled his free arm back, forming the hand into a rigid, straight, flat edge, and shot it forward. In a blur, it slammed against the hobgoblin's side. Once again, time seemed to freeze for Ty; the scene in exsquisite detail. The old man's face, cheerful, with an uplifting, tight smile, in contrast to the hobgoblin's yet-to-register stupid mug. The man's hand, plunging forth into the Hobgoblin; parting his skin like a sword. The spray of viscous, green-red blood that spewed from the beast, to splatter lightly about the man's features.
So suddenly, the scene returned to the flow time, and the man's arm sunk to the elbow within the beast. Promptly, he returned it to the fresh air outside, the still-beating pulse of a disfigured heart amidst his digits. It pulsed once, twice, putrid blood seeping about his hand, before it ceased its movements. The hobgoblin blinked, looking down at his hand, to the old man's hand, to the heart, to the old man's face. A strange look came over the creature's face, and it seemed to almost spark enough brainpower to think."...Whosh yoush?"
It keeled over dead, with a loud thud, but a second later.
"...that I cordially invited Mr.Poole to join us, first." The man finished his statement, before turning his smiling gaze down to the heart still in his grasp. Immediately, the smile turned into a frown of gross disdain. A sigh, and he tossed it down to the creatures. Making sure not to touch his suit with the gore-filled hand, the male reached into his suit's jacket, retrieving a red handkerchief. A quick wipe down--including his hand, as well as the gore splattered about his face, shoulders, and arm-- and he tossed it amidst the brute's corpse, as well."Disgusting creatures... ", the man murmured, shaking his head."...Grug's legions only persist as a powerful faction, due to his own power, their sheer physical capabilities, and of how putridly fast they breed." The man sneered for a moment, in utter repulsion, it seemed, before it was prompt to turn into a smile. He clapped his hands lightly, and turned to face Tyson; that cheerful, close-eyed gaze turning to him.
"...Now, Mr.Poole. I would request that you come with me without any further confrontation...", he paused, and spread his hands to the side, tilting his head to the left almost compassionately-looking."...I would hate to have to engage in violence with you once again. I would have to render you incapacitated, and, with so little mana-reserves, there's a chance that your body won't be able to sustain the energy needed to repair yourself correctly. So...", he trailed off with a heightened syllable, and raised a hand, snapping the fingers of sharply. As if on direct cue, the bricks of the wall beside them suddenly slid out of place. Displaced, rather, as a portal formed amongst them. There was no other way to describe it, other than a rip in reality; revealing a stark black limousine, parked next to a curb. The background of the area was of buildings quite reminiscent to Ty; that was just a few blocks down!
From some invisible signal, the limousine's door opened smoothly; revealing a luxurious interior of posh seats. A wine cooler sat amidst them, a simple ice-tray, with a bottle chilling within. The man, smiling at Ty, gestured to the portal with the same hand he had snapped with; the other one folding behind him per fancy-etiquette. The older male bowed about halfway, and turned his gaze almost consideringly to Ty."If you would, after you, Mr. Poole..."
