Amethyst reached down at the bomb, looking intrigued. She placed the palm of her hand against it. The chunk of decaying flesh slid off, and the metal orb stuck to her hand.
"I must confess a degree of admiration. I hadn't considered such a loophole."
Lutherion just kept up his usual grin, looking perhaps a little proud. Amethyst's icicles began to swirl around him.
"But we cannot allow your own masochism to grant you an unfair advantage."
She mechanically walked forward, and turned to face Nathan and Emily.
"Priest girl, please tend to the human's wounds. Your own abilities are not currently required."
The icicles moved closer to Lutherion. He curiously poked one, judging it to be held to tightly to move without considerable effort.
"Tell me necromancer, are you familiar with a basic levitation spell?"
Lutherion kept grinning. "Ya mean a floaty spell? I know that they're pretty much useless for anything but showing off. You plannin' on dazzlin' me to death girl? I've seen some preeetty weird stuff in my time. *cackle*"
"Then you are aware they require minimum concentration to maintain, even with large objects, provided the objective is to prevent solely the effects of gravity. It is a very basic spell, but surprisingly difficult to resist."
The icicles were almost touching Lutherion's stomach.
"Are you aware of the nature of our current space?"
She stepped closer, still holding the bomb.
"Eh..?--"
"Set gravitational influence: Total neutralization."
At those words, Amethyst's icicles and Lutherion all shot up, slammed through the ceiling, and flew up into the sky.
Actually, they had been completely stopped in midair, the building had simply continued to fall without them. Amethyst held her arm out, holding the Bomb at a certain point in midair. A brief moment passed, before there was another loud crash. Lutherion crashed up through the floor, and slammed his head into the bomb. As he did, it separated from Amethyst's grasp. Waiting for this signal, the icicles stopped, and Lutherion fell back onto the floor. However they continued flying.
"Run preset: LandQuake III"
More air solidified into crystals, and flew towards the walls, drawing a line around the corner of the room, before breaking the entire area off into a floating chunk of wood.
Lutherion leapt off the platform almost immediately, hovering with his own wings.
"What's this then raspberry girl? You think you stand a better chance at not dieing in the air? Or are you trying to protect Bacon Lady and Butterknife Boy? Hahahahaha! Either way."
He thrust his arm forward. Several splinters of bone launched forward. As they did, they began to split apart, as though depressurizing.
"Lifeless Dragons! Rise for your God Lutherion! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The splinters finished rearranging, and now 4 winged beasts flew gracefully through the sky. Three headed off towards the rest of the restaurant, while one flew straight at Amethyst. Still wearing her crystal shoes, she quickly dodged to the right, the dragon crashing into the chunk Amethyst had taken with her. The crystals abandoned it, flying off as the structure fell apart.
Lutherion causally touched the metal sphere now bound to his neck with his Weightmaw Arm, find as he did that it detached itself, and resealed to one of the bone splinters.
"Well now that's convenient! Hey pink girl! CATCH! HAHAHAHA!"
He slung the splinter from his arm, it glowed a bright green, and began flying directly towards Amethyst. About halfway there, another of Amethyst's black crystals intercepted it.
"It is mental tug-o-war then." She said as she dodged the bone dragon once again. "I do not often lose these."
But Lutherion just grinned more broadly, as he effortlessly forced the bomb directly towards Amethyst. She dodge slightly to the left, and the bomb sailed back into the restaurant.*
"Really now?! *cackle cackle*"
"I say not often." She said almost casually, "For it is difficult to move a large building."
For all of three seconds, Lutherion had a look of confusion. For the next several seconds, he was far more preoccupied with the large barnhouse, now covered with black crystals, being slammed repeatedly against him. After several hits, Lutherion found himself inside the now hole-filled barnhouse. Amethyst drifted in through one of the large masses. The crystals around the outside detached, and formed a case around Lutherion's arm, binding it in place.
"Hey, just what the hell is this supposed to be?!"
"Second hacking attempt. If the dagger carries a demonic penalty to its use, my own power will have to suffice."
After saying this, she began whispering various commands, all far too fast and too soft to be understood. bolts of green light fired from Lutherion's arm as he struggled.
Amethyst's body began to go limp, her eyes began to drip with some strange black liquid. Her race's equivalent of tears. Not her own, but the regrets of the countless beings Lutherion held captive. The green light intensified, as the crystals began to crack.
And with a burst, the light became blinding, the crystals shattered, and Amethyst was knocked against the far wall, completely as a ragdoll. She looked up weakly at Lutherion, who now stood grinning, almost completely unharmed.
