Redhawk Caldera Hippos Can't Ice-Fish

Ashton reared back his lips, and gently snagged the scruff by the mouthful.
The moment he made contact with her, his vision began to flicker. To dim.
Oh hell no, you don't. You better get that golden ass up there, and save your girl, bro.
I'm tryin, alright? I'm fucking..I'm trying!
You better be. She's all you got a chance with, you scump a lump. Save her.

Ashton kept his thoughts flowing, his eyes finding the gaping hole in the floating ice a 6 feet above him. With the effort he could muster, he summoned the lightning. All the bolts. And as if Mother Nature was finally throwin' him a bone, his limbs kicked into high gear, the webs between his toes finding purchase with the ice water, his sun draped hide slicking his body, and the teen damn near became a merman.

He heaved, ho'd, and hoisted, regaining his grip every now and then on her soggy scruff. Soon, the doc and his patient were right underneath the hole.

It was then, that he realized he was losing momentum. Why wasn't he movin? Ta fuhq?
His front limbs...he couldn't feel em anymore. Shit. This was bad.

The back legs were losing their motivation, as well, and he noticed as the hole started to back away from him.
Oh no da snowball's chance in hell, you're not, life!
Ashton turned into a merman that very instant, doing the worm in the fridgid liquid, and soon, they leapt out from the water as if they were a pair of dancin dolphins.

"MRRFN, MRFF MMMNN, MRRNN!" were the sounds he threw from his full mouth the instant they surfaced.
Ashton only hoped his Electro was there, quick enough to act with his own part on this deadly job before gravity acted on them, and dropped the pair back into Mother Natures cold puddle of 'The End' for the both of them.
