B ran through the crowds towards the commotion. He had lost track of where George had gone, but he did notice him heading towards the scene as well. As far as he knew, most of the people here didn't have any spectacular powers, and he doubted that whoever the original owner of the persona he inhabited would be happy if his, er, friend got killed. If anything, he could try to protect as many people as possible from whoever had decided to go psychotic.
He arrived to see some floating lady do battle with George. Whoever he was, he definitely could hold his own in a fight. B couldn't help but look on in awe for a moment at the display of aggression. Soon, however, the battle was taking a turn for the worse as George was looking to be in trouble. B was about to intervene, when somebody spoke up. A strange man, claiming to be a witch-hunter. He had an eerie sort of calmness about him.
The floating girl, apparently named Madeline, sent a bolt of electricity flying towards the man in the wide brimmed hat, but it strangely just avoided him entirely. Maybe the people here did have powers? No, it couldn't be, because all the observing townsfolk looked just as surprised and shocked as B was. Then he started chanting something.
Just a few moments later, everything flashed gold for a moment, and the strange man was gone. Madeline got over the disappearing man relatively quickly and went straight back to her target. Unfortunately, it seemed George was also missing
"Where did-"
She was interrupted by a hammer to the back of the head. Madeline howled in pain for a single moment. B saw her charging something up, and made his choice instantly. Whoever George really was, obviously he was pretty important to James Struthers. The least he could do while borrowing his identity was keep his friend safe. B charged towards the fray, and just as Madeline shot a ball of energy towards George, he jumped in between the two.
On the ground lay an almost incinerated red jacket with the letter "B" just barely still visible. Next to the jacket was a strangely familiar looking newt. The crowd responded in yelling.
"SHE TURNED HIM INTO A NEWT!"
Madeline couldn't help but look at the result in a bemused manner, leaving her unaware of what was coming next.
During the chaos, B scurried away out of sight into an alleyway. He was pretty sure the townsfolk wouldn't appreciate what came next if they saw it happen. I mean, what would people think if the apothecary turned into a dragon right in front of them?
Loud flapping could be heard in the distance from the fight.
