Emily looked to the giant monster in front of her, than back to Nathan. Tears began to form in her eyes. Nathan was reckless. If he moved on he would no doubt end up dead.
She remembered that every round things were pretty much set back to standard before the new course appeared. She knew what she'd have to do to save the young fools life.
She turned to the vacuum. It was demonic no doubt, but it probably wouldn't do any real harm. “Take care of the boy. Make sure he doesn't do anything to get himself killed.”
“Strange,” Emily thought as she continued to look at the machine, “It almost looked sad, albeit not in the typical way. It was as if it knew what she was going to do.”
“Order accepted.” And with that the vacuum headed of to Nathan. It grabbed him with one of its claws and threw the boy against the wall before he could do anything. Emily chuckled as Nathan struggled against Eximo's hold. It would keep him busy at least.
Lutherion looked disappointedly at his monster's now vacant tail. “Come on people. I was just about to have some fun! Why did you have to pull the boy off?”
Emily lowered the barrier and Luther turned to face her. “Aww the huntress has dropped her shield. Now we can have some fu-“
Luther was cut off as a blast of light hit him. It didn't hurt was the strange thing.
Suddenly all eyes were on Emily as the light flew out of her and into Lutherion. Not as it had happened with Nathan. This was a steady stream of powerful light, and it was clear how badly it was affecting her…and Luther.
As Emily rapidly withered to the point of near death, Luther began becoming human. His missing parts began to grow back, and the eerie glow around him began to fade.
“I am giving you one last chance Luther,” Emily said as loudly as she could with her weakened voice,” Do not waist it.”
Luther simply looked up at the moon and smiled. Then he looked back down at the now totally shriveled old woman beneath him and his behemoth. “Thank you,” he said as a few tears trickled down his cheek,” And I'm sorry.”
Suddenly the light flew back out of him and back into Emily. The force of the rapid life gain knocked her off her feat. As Luther's humanity began to fade so did his tears. With one last real breath he said,” Who'd have thought?” Then almost immediately the mad cackle he was known for had returned. “WHAT WAS THAT BACON LADY? YOUR LAST BLOW WAS HEALING? TELL YOU WHAT HOW BOUT I RETURN THE FAVOR IN DEATH?!”
The tears rolled rapidly down her face as the monster's tail was raised. It was a shame really. He had been so close.
The tail struck her clean through the chest and Luther lifted her up to him. He lit a small fire under her. “Mmmmm..I'm in the mood for some meat.”
