In a blur, JD began digging away at Elemental's backside. The giant was focused on Athena and Voltaje as they addressed him and didn't even notice the attack for a few moments.<br/><br/>"What the fuck now?" he growled, turning as he saw pieces of his muddy self all over the jungle. He turned to try and see what was attacking him, the blur that was Happy Trails difficult to orient on.<br/><br/>JD was finding the task difficult, as the mud wasn't just laying atop Elemental, but seemed to be a functioning part of him. Still, scrape after scrape pulled more off. Before their eyes Elemental became visibly smaller. He was still huge, of course, but he seemed to go from nine feet tall to eight feet.<br/><br/>He appeared surprised, then he looked down and stamped his feet on the leaves. He was trying to draw dirt up through his soles and was unable to because of the canopy.<br/><br/>Elemental swung his free arm at JD, but hit only the speedster's after-image.<br/><br/>"Fucking coward!" Elemental yelled in a fury.<br/><br/>With Elemental on alert, JD had to zoom in and out more carefully; the lumbering villain might be slow compared to JD, but a lucky strike could prove disastrous. Still, he continued to pick at Elemental a bit at a time.<br/><br/>"What trouble are we in now?" someone said. A bewildered and flustered Elemental turned to look at his hand to see that he was now holding a petite blonde woman who regarded him with open curiosity.<br/><br/>"My goodness, someone needs a bath," Janet said, crinkling her nose at Elemental's stink. She raised both hands and brought them down together on the mud-man's wrist with a tremendous smack.<br/><br/>"Ah SHIT!" Elemental cried in pain, dropping Janet as he clutched his arm.
