"Wait what?" Rafael managed to ask that before he felt the water around him, and he stumbled as he was pulled back from his standing spot. "WAIT WHAT?" He yelled when he heard Mercury's plan, his vision quickly jumping between his friend and their opponent. "MERCURY I DON'T THINK DIAMONDS ARE SOFT AT ALL THIS IS A BAD IDEA."<br/><br/>That didn't matter, though, because not a moment later, Rafael was staring at the entrance that rested before him. God damn it, not like he had any choice. With a huff, he jumped up and slid into the diamond dog's mouth, then down its throat. From the outside, some muffled complaints could be heard. "Oh god this is cold" and "What the hell I can't move my legs" were among the first, but once he was in the dog's torso, he had enough room to do what needed to be done.<br/><br/>He got on his knees instead of just flopping around on his back, took a deep breath, and grabbed the brim of his hat, twisting it into its proper position. "Alright, time to put this dog down," He said, pulling his fist back. It began shaking quickly, vibrating even, and when it slammed into the dog's 'stomach,' his fist began to weaken its integrity. He repeated this with another punch, followed by another, which steadily increased in speed until he was launching a flurry of high-speed strikes at the interior of the dog's chest.<br/><br/>It was working, it seemed, as cracks began to appear in the diamond ahead of him. He moved his punching all around him, striking at the interior of the back, the stomach, the sides, all over. The diamond was cracking and splintering beneath the power of his strikes, but because he was punching diamonds, his knuckles were getting torn up. Blood was left after each punch as the skin on his fists was damaged.<br/><br/>Finally, with one stronger uppercut, Rafael broke through the diamond dog's neck. The middle head would likely fall off, giving him enough room to leap out the hole and land on the ground next to Mercury. His hands were dripping blood, but it was slow and minor. He'd be fine.
