Just as Leo had suspected, the shots did nothing but piss off the beast. It let out a mighty roar as it erupted from the ceiling. "Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck," he muttered as he stumbled forward as Sebastian moved him along. "I don't wike this!"

Quickly mopping the area, Yogi picked up his supplies and began to powersprint out of the way.

Elyss didn'd mind the scoop up, she even thanked Orwell for it. She couldn't focus though once inside.

"It appears we've been spotted," she mused to herself as she felt Orwell move. "I can't see what's transpiring outside, Edward. Do you have a means to see?"

"Here we go again..." Mercy disassembled her still hot flamethrower, before she began to run away as well. "Where to!?"

"You won't wike me if I was angry either!" Sebastian roared and kicked Leo in the butt. "Now stop being a bitch and spend less time complaining and more time running!"

------

"I am scanning to see if any of these caverns are suitable escape routes." Orwell stated to Mercy. "We will have to play this mainly by ear however and must get comfortable with split second decision making."

"Master Edward's helmet projects to him all the screens you see before you." Orwell stated to Elyss. "The wing man seat has been removed, but you should be able to secure yourself to something by the operating seat so that you can keep an eye on the screens if you would like." The screens he referred to was a plethora that covered the wall in front of Edward, screens showed what the cameras were seeing, screens displayed multiple sensors, radars, and other accessories, and finally there were Edward's trinkets that bounced about in place, tied down with adhesive.

Orwell's scanners detected a fork in the round up ahead. A large main pathway led to the left while a smaller narrow path led off to the right. The scanners began to fail when trying to detect what was down the narrow path.

The party ran for their lives forward before finally reaching the fork and being forced to make a split second decision. Meanwhile a tentacle crept around Sebastian's leg and yanked him backwards, immediately dislocating the limb. He landed in front of the Devastator, the titanic monster glaring down at him with its featureless face. A massive arm came down and crushed his legs, holding him in place as it brought its giant bone-plated head closer. The monster was inches from him as it began to roar.

Sebastian thought of Arianna. He thought of Nikolai, of Dante, of his adventures back on Earth. He prayed these kids could make it home as his body was turned into dust.

A gray dust was all that was left of the Fraysan-slayer as the Devastator pulled back, looking towards the other survivors.

It was at about this time that Mano began to stir, before his eyes opened fully. He glanced around. "Um... what's going on? Am I asleep or something? And why... why can't I feel my left hand? Or forearm?"

"Oh Master Mano, so glad you woke up. I hope you can run." Orwell had finished his scans and though it was the more uncertain in the long run, he directed the group right. As they got close he whispered to the two, shutting off Edward's communications. "I will take rearguard, but you must get Master Edward out of here. I will not risk the chance of a tentacle capturing the Obelisk while he is still in it." The restraining bands on Mano loosened and a robotic arm handed him the metal one Edward made. "If we make it out of here Master Mano I will explain." The porthole unlocked and lifted open. "But for now you must escape." The bolts loosened and the spine disengaged itself and more robotic arms took Edward's helmet off. "Now Master Mano Madam Elyss if you please, take Master Edward into the tunnel."

Edward looked around, "What? Orwell what are you talking about?"

Orwell ignored Edward as the mech turned around and began waving its arm to guide the group. "Everyone through the tunnels please, I shall cover your escape. Master Leo Miss Mercy please assist Madam Elyss in helping out the young and the injured."

"You will do no such thing!" Edward tried to take the helmet back but the arms kept it out of reach. "I'm staying with you Orwell!"

"Master Edward your safety is my prime directive set by late Master and Madam Wise, you cannot override it, please make your way out. I will be right behind you I promise." Edward shook his head furiously and the AI sighed. "Master Mano, Madam Elyss, we are short on time. If you can please?"

Leo shot Sebastian a look, but kept running. When they reached the fork in the road, he followed the group but glanced back at Sebastian. He only watched long enough to see his leg be torn off, cringing from the sickening sounds. This was the second person he didn't like who died. It's a good thing he liked Nikolai and the others. He did feel a little bad, even though he knew it wasn't his fault. But hey, death was to be expected.

He rolled his eyes at the stubbornness of Edward. "C'mon, you damn brat! Unless you want to end up dead I suggest hauling ass!" He never liked kids.

There was a lot of noise surrounding the party when the group went down to the fork, the monstrosity rumbling behind them and keeping up the pace. There was a lot of yelling, cries, and panic in the voices. He should have been able to hear all that, including his own screaming.

But all he heard was the crunching of Sebastian's bones. After that came nothing but silence, and Nikolai Jr. simply stood there.

He didn't have much of a family, that was true. His father had died before he was born, and his mother only years before. Iris had died also, and now his cousin had disappeared. His uncle Sebastian was the last remnant of family he had left; his last tie to the physical world. He shook slightly, pushed aside by Orwell who was trying to get Edward to move forward. He just couldn't stop looking at that gray dust.

"Are you alright?" He'd wanted to say, but he knew he wasn't even close. "I'm sorry," was another thing that came to mind, but it was too late to apologize for giving Sebastian the turmoil he did. It was one of many things he wish he could have said. A single tear ran down the side of his cheek, a chink in his otherwise unbreakable wall of emotions. He scowled, gritting his teeth at his own vulnerability.

The gray dust blew away as the beast stomped once more toward them; that was when he snapped out of it, turning and running down the path Orwell had guided them toward. He wiped the singular tear, guns still out of their holsters. He was going to avenge the last of what little family he had.

Mano was in a major state of confusion. He didn't know what was going on, didn't know why his arm was missing, and didn't know why he was inside of Orwell, but these were all things that could be figured out at a later time. He scooped up Edward, and dropped from the open hatch. "Well, guess I'm babysitting you for a while, kid." Looking down the path, he moved forward, jumping and timing it so he could hover above the ground in his usual manner, following behind Nikki J.

"Old-man!" Mercy stopped dead in her tracks and turned around, as Sebastian was pulled back by the monsters. In a matter of mere seconds he was way too far away to do anything. It happened so fast, maybe if... No, it was too late anyway. When Seb was brought all the way up the monster's face, the girl just closed her eyes for a moment, the noise and her imagination still giving her a quite good idea what happened. "Shit..." She murmured through tight clenched teeth, as she came about again and resumed her run.

Mercy payed little attention to the fact that Mano was awake right now, except for noting the fact itself. She wasn't sure whether it was a good or bad timing on his part...

At one point the girl slowed down to a walk suddenly. "Guys, just go... I'll seal the passage." Saying that with grave tone, Mercy punched the tunnel's wall, corruption spreading on it immediately, quickly forming a a thick ring around, on the floor, ceiling and the other wall. As she took a step back, two solid metal walls emerged from the sides of the tunnel and clasped on each other with a thud. A circle appeared on the center, where the 'doors' closed and began to spin rapidly, accompanied by wheering and clanking, meaning an addition of further fortifications and mechanisms inside. Once that was somewhat done, Mercy turned around ready to proceed.

Elyss watched everything transpiring outside from the monitors and then she sensed a heartbeat silenced. Sebastian was gone in a blink of an eye, turned into dust by the creature's clutches. Behind her mask, she swallowed, was this really the fraysan homeworld? Or were they teleported somewhere else as the last spiteful act of Carnifex against them?

She would never know but she preferred to live to tell the tale. Remaining inside Orwell, she locked onto each of their heartbeats.

"I hope you don't mind, Orwell, but I will be staying inside for a bit longer," she said. Without anyone to hear her, she chanted instead of her usual singing. Her words were fraysan but the powers she use was the same. The spell wrapped around her allies' hearts and into their souls, unknowingly giving them a thin coating of power. It would shield them from danger for a time, hopefully enough to save them if things get dire.

Mano stops in his hovering, looking back. "Whoa. That's awesome. CRAP!" He tries to smack himself in the head, then remembers he's missing an arm. "Hey, Ed, mind hitting me in the head? I kinda forgot to give everybody something super important."

"Wait my mask!" Edward gasped and right before he left the Obelisk he grabbed it and strapped it over his face. He missed his chance to grab his hoodie and shivered in the open air.

"If you put me down I'll consider it." Edward crossed his arms.

"Master Mano you will do no such thing." Orwell chided. "You will keep Master Edward safe and on the move." The mech marched in the rearguard, keeping his cameras on the defenses Mercy had put up. "You know Madam Elyss, I would feel better if you did join your peers, as being in the rear, you are in the most danger. You should stay safe, you are our only medic."
