As Ka filled the hallways with light, He remembered this, as the moment he truly wanted to become the hunt leader, to defend his villages from any harm, and to be a leader to his pack. He stopped right in his tracks and turned around. He was staring right at the face of the blob. Ka could tell that the bombs unfortunate collision with unmodified Restrainium had caused it to become unstable. The timer ticking down was rendered completely useless; a bomb like this, it could explode at any second. There was no telling whether they’d be able to get it to the core before it exploded and even if they did who knew how large the explosion was going to be? Something this unstable could destroy half of the facility.
Sure the blob would be dead but what about everyone else? He steeled his resolve, and told himself, this is it. He knew what he had to do. He knew he had to be a leader, to defend the pack. Moreover he knew that sometimes leaders had to make the tough choices, to sacrifice themselves so that others may yet live.
<Go>
Shieldman and Arckal looked up at him confused.
<Thank you for your assistance in this battle. It has been invaluable. Now you must save yourselves.>
The pair reluctantly fled down the corridor, not looking back. The blob continued it’s awful advance, it’s gibberish words echoing down the corridor after the pair. Ka, keeping his composure walked over to behind the bomb. He looked at it, pondering the last few seconds of his life. His only regret was that he could not return home. But it was okay with him. He had confidence in his pack. They were quick, efficient, and they had been trained well.
This was it.
<Farewell… comrades>
Ka opened his mouth, revealing the black hole that was contained within. Around him the walls buckled and shattered as they were pulled inexorably into the black hole. Droplets of midnight black ooze flew into his open mouth, the blob in front of him rippling strangely as it was pulled towards the black hole. Ka carefully picked up the bomb, which had now started to beep in alarm and he pressed it to the black hole. Unstable bombs don’t really like to get messed with, and as such perhaps one of the most surefire methods to get a reaction out of one is to compress it down until it becomes infinitesimally small at the heart of a black hole.
Whether it was the explosion, or it was the collapse of the roof would be impossible to tell. At the moment of his death he had shone brighter than ever before. He had been happy, to know that he had protected his pack.
