[Carmen] *ARGHUAH!*

''She took off in fear as crystals started to envelope her perch, barely missing her talons. Finite snatched the wings off the desk as some of the crystals started to form over the table too.''

[M5] *garbled speech*

[Finite] No... nonono...

[M5] The - noma - anet - cra -

''Finite snatched Astro's Gigawatt Sword and started attempting to slash the crystals off feverently as the crystals kept overtaking M5. Carmen attempted to burn out some of them, but they just came right back. Astro woke up and joined them, but it was useless.''

[Astro] This isn’t going to work… M5’s done for.

[Finite] No…  NO! 

''A burst of dark energy suddenly stripped away the crystals as they fell to the floor. They started immediately growing back, but more subdued and slowly. Finite froze in shock.''

[Finite] Wh... what?

''He tilted the wheel on his shuttle, watching the little hovering dot on his panel. The blue light was rapidly being drawn towards one of the planets like a black hole.''

[???] Almost there… maybe…

''He forced out of hyperspace, seeing the ISS and Chrono’s ship tilting dangerously as it fell towards Hex. His own ship started to crystalise too, but he pressed on, the crystals simply dissolving into dust when they got too close to him, as if he were a living flame. He was just at the tail of the ships, when sirens suddenly blared and he slammed forwards, sliding onto the controls as his ship ran into an invisible barrier.''

[???] What? -

''Then he saw her. Out of the corner of his eye. He reached for his sword, but the demon just laughed.''

[???] No, Efia. No.

[Efialtis] ''' You cannot go further. I will not let you. '''

''He snatched the glimmering sword and brought it crashing down towards her, but she simply melted, and he ended up smashing a part of his controlboard, which caused it to start sparking dangerously. The illusion appeared behind him as he watched in horror.''

[Aether IV] *'''FATAL ERROR. SYSTEMS SEVERELY DAMAGED. PREPARING FOR EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN.*'''

[Efialtis] ''' You will never find me. You will never succeed. Give up. '''

[???] No. Not until the day I die. LEAVE THE HEROES ALONE!

[Efialtis] ''' You do not understand. They are a threat - to me, to Ruby. And so are you. '''

[???] Ru...by? Who’s Ruby?

[Efialtis] ''' Haha… goodbye, Puck. Enjoy the afterlife. '''

She disappeared into the shadows as the ship went into lockdown, hurtling towards the planet at what seemed like certain doom.

[Efialtis] ''' But don't worry. You won’t be alone. These ‘heroes’ will be joining you soon. '''

[Efialtis] ' Just you wait. '
