[Rinzler slows, pausing for a single beat before he continues his approach. Of course the beta would be crashing. Of course those pointless, glitching virals would do this. He wants a target, wants to fight or break or kill them both again, but there's nothing left, and it wouldn't make a difference.
He doesn't know how to fix damage. But the program stops and crouches down, noise whirring out harshly, and waits until Asriel responds to scoop him up.
They're not wasting more time here. As soon as the beta's tucked under one arm, Rinzler darts for one side of the alley, sprinting vertically half the distance and flicking out a red-orange grappling line from his baton to ascend the rest. He stays in motion, leaping from one structure to the next, rolling easily over the top of interposing vehicles. It won't be long before they reach an isolated set of docks—and the transporter Rinzler parked inside.]
