"Let. Him. Go." The voice came first. Loud and booming. Then in a flash a familiar looking monkey was between Castel and Dick, breaking the hold on the cat. Sand seemed to from around the monkey's feet as if by magic. He could see the darkness surrounding these people. If they were even people at this point. He sent the sand at the woman first, having it form into solid rock when it impacted on her. His fist raised and slammed into the man next, exploding with rock shrapnel to try and penetrate the darkness.

"You okay?" He asked without looking at Dick. MK's voice was cold. It didn't have that warmth it usually had. Golden energy sparked off his body as he stood beside the cat.
