Crash narrowed his gaze to where Arthur was looking and vaguely saw the silhouettes, his ears duck down more to his head, "Yeah, are going towards them or away from them?" he asked aloud, his roboticized hand on the hilt of his blade, on his left side, ready to draw it. Crash has had only a few scraps in the desert, but this wind and sand flying through the air was making it hard to even see and hear a mobian right next to him. Crash turns to Arthur and Alkira, still having to squint, "I vote that we don't find out if they're friendly or not....."

They would turn to look at the ground, pointing at Alkira as their vision in the storms seemed to be just fine. One nodded and the other rushed up towards them, drawing a sword from in his cloak and began to shout in what sounded like total jibberish. He closed the distance rather quickly, whatever assisted him in navigating this storm was persistent.

Arthur stepped forwards yelling "Stand back!" his free arm moving behind him to the holstered guns he had in his harness drawing a silver gun from the holster he brought it forwards and fired three rounds at the charging being, two for the chest and one in the head, as he was trained to do in the Ascension project, of course all special ops soldiers were trained to shoot three bullets in quick succession and with deadly accuracy.
Arthur half screamed as he removed his bad arm from the sling and shakily moved it to the second pistol, drawing the black gun from it's holster, the silver dragon on the hand shining in the light.

Crash drew his rapier and started to charge the charging silhouette, using Arthur's firing as an advantage to take immediate action. "I'll handle these guys, you get out of here!" he shouts back at the hedgehog and bat. Raising his robotocized arm, he fires his claw-like fingers, each connected by a piano-wire, able to withstand many hardships, while not indestructible. The fingers drew closer to the figure, ready to entangle the foe's sword.

Alkira felt her chest seize up in fear- she wasn't sure what exactly was going on, but all of her instincts were telling her to take flight and flee as far as she could manage. The screaming from the other two was enough to upset Zareb, who began to whimper sharply and squirm in his mother's arms.
Crash's request was enough for her. The bat grabbed Arthur's wrist tightly, pulling him in the opposite direction that he seemed ready to charge in. "Arthur! You're in no condition to fight!" The female hissed urgently, "We have to run!"
(( bad reply is bad ;0; ))

Arthur hissed when Alkira gripped his arm tightly as he looked at her with stern eyes before they softened, holstering the pistols he slowly nodded to Alkira "We'll make a run for the sand hill village just keep going in that direction" he said as he got his bearings once more and was able to pinpoint the direction of east where the reports from The Order placed the Sand-hill village in that direction. "We need to move" he said as he began to limp placing his good hand on her wrist and pulling her along while his other arm hanged limp at his side having been removed from the sling.

He would swing his sword, deflecting two with his scimitar which cracked and the other bullet missed his head due to the wind conditions. He continued to close the distance as claws shot at him which wrapped around the sword. Drawing a dagger it continued to close the distance. Its now free sword hand beginning to swirl with what looked like black specks.

The claws retract back to Crash's arm quickly, "That's right, come to Crashie." he mumbles to himself, charging close to the stranger, swinging his rapier to initiate first contact. gotta catch him off guard while he's in motion. Crash began plotting how to disarm and take down this sandy threat, allowing Arthur and Alkira to get some distance.

He did close the distance, keeping the dagger ready to parry a strike from the rapier. His hand still glowing with those swirling black particles. This seemed almost wrong... like he wasn't scared to be attacked, almost fanatical. There was nothing but fury and dedication in his eyes.

Crash brought his rapier to meet with the foe's dagger, getting face to face with the enemy. "That's a scary look you've got there buddy." Crash jested with a smirk, making light of the situation. Crash's experience in sword-fighting usually brings out his arrogant side when in a fight with another when it involved blades.

He didn't respond of course as he kept the current blade lock going. After a moment he would raise his hand and simply tilt it at Crash. From his hand tiny black orbs would fly at him, if they hit they would latch to him and begin to expand like a prison of tar.

Crash's eyes became wide, "notgoodnotgood." he exclaims, flapping his wings to lift himself up and away. With the force of his flapping the bat kicked up sand in the attacker's face to try and blind him. While in midair Crash throws his sword at the attacker, taking advantage of the hopefully temporary blindness he induced. Once Crash landed, he knelt down to pull two kunai knives from his cargo pants, holding them backwards with the blades pointing parallel with his arms holding a defensive stance.

He swept the sword to the side, but it sliced into his arm. He grunted and swapped the dagger to his other arm. Looking around he would try to find him through the sand. Finally seeing him he raised his bleeding and and began to channel the black orbs around the damaged arm while he closed the distance. These guys were not joking, these guys were some serious trouble.

Crash sighed, "dammit.." he cursed under his breath, "Gotta find a way to take this guy down..." The bat ran straight at the attacker and locked blades with the foe's dagger, leaving his second kunai free, "This is your first warning, stand down or I strike!"
(ugh, short post is short. :/ )

He didn't respond, he simply reached out to send more of the black orbs at him to try and snare and capture him. By now the second figure had joined the fight and rushed around, flanking Crash and taking his dagger out quietly while he waited for him to try and dodge the orbs, at which point he would throw the dagger for his back.
