All the power, all the energy stripped away from the poor defenseless ethereals. The tracer withdrew his tentacles, 98% of the creatures power had been stripped away.

"Try using those powers of yours now Nyghtmare. They are mine now. My own powers have evolved as well. Now you shall be truly punished for trying to stop me!"

Red spikes burst out of the ground underneath the Nyghtmare and the Balalma.

"Now SUFFER!" said Dent with a smile.


Ptolemy fired two shots from his eclipse. He was done. No more running.

[GrayGriffin]

Mei forced her tired limbs to leap into the air, avoiding the full force of the spikes, but still taking a sharp blow to a hind leg. It was lucky that she had natural jumping ability, and was still able to avoid attacks in a non-etheral form. But now that her abilites had been taken...

She leapt at the Ballama, screaming, "Get on my back! I think I can avoid those spikes!"

[Kyrit]

Aesriria jumped to the side, one of the bullets grazing her ear. She let out a growl and glanced back at Dent. Seemed like he was going to be able to take care of himself now, so she truly had no reason to be here. Things just weren't fun now that she was actually in danger. "Feh. I think now's my time to head on out of here..." With that she darted off into the shadows. Not too long after her little Ballama just faded away. It'd catch up to her later... when it wasn't off trying to pull itself back together.

Talbot ran after the kuhna, figuring that three others against the Tracer would be able to make it out. Might as well try to rid the world of another pest.
(Sorry guys, but I think it's best I pull out my characters so the two of you can move through this better. My heart just doesn't seem to be into this roleplay)

[endermage]

"I guess that takes care of her..." said Ptolemy lowering his weapon, "Now...to kill that monster."

"Don't let your rage consume you Ptolemy!", cried Demeter, "If you aren't careful you might end up the same kind of monster!"

"I...I know..." said Ptolemy,"I just have to incapacitate him."

Dent saw that his prey had gone on the offensive," Suffer you fools, now Mei suffer your own power!" The shadows of what used to be Mei's power seeped out of the tracer and wormed into the minds of Ptolemy, Demeter, and Mei.

[GrayGriffin]

Mei gave a gasp of pain as her own power flowed back at her, unbidden and not held back. It felt like she had been stabbed in the ribs, and she nearly fell. She had never felt power like this before. So this was what her victims had felt like...

"Fei," she whispered softly. "Oh, my sister, if there was ever a time when I needed you, it is now!"

Ptolemy, hearing the cry for help, fought the power with all his might. Fortunately the power was new to Dent and extending it on three people made it less than invincible. Ptolemy cleared his mind and shattered the mental attack. He pocketed his pistol and shoved his palm up into Dent's nose. As he touched the tracer three colored lights burst out of the man and into Ptolemy. As Ptolemy stepped back he noticed that he had three colored spheres in his hands. There was a red one, a purple one, and a black one. The black one resonated with the power that just attacked them.

"MEI! Here, I think this belongs to you!" said Ptolemy as he threw it to the Nyghtmare. As he did it became a spiral of black energy that flew towards the Nyghtmare.

[GrayGriffin]

Mei felt the power enter her, coursing through her veins. For a moment, her mane flew out, as if coursing with electricity, then calmed just as quickly. Testing, the Nyghtmare placed a hoof against the stone, which began to glow with black, vein-like cracks. The largest one sped towards Dent, opening into a chasm as it went.

The Bottomless Pit...one of the most feared tricks of the Nyghtmare family. But she had to use it now, had to save the doctor and his companion.

[endermage]

For some strange reason Ptolemy understood and felt Mei's power as she unleashed it. Maybe he could help stabilize her so the power didn't consume her. He focused his mind to a point and attempted to channel his own energies. The Bottomless Pit hit Dent head on. Somehow...Ptolemy had stripped away all the man's endless supply of power. He cried out for help as he fell into the Pit, but no one was going to help the monster he had become. Demeter looked at him with scorn, he had defiled his body for power, only the Goddess could help him now...

[GrayGriffin]

Mei watched the man fall, falling forever into the darkness. Nothing could save him, once she closed the Pit. She stepped towards him, glaring down at him as he fell.

"Not even repentence can save you now," she whispered softly, as the Pit began to close. "I do not know what can...you can ask the Evil Deities, once you meet them..."

[endermage]

Ptolemy wrapped his arms around Mei's broad neck. "Thank you so much for helping us! Your sister is Fei right...I think I felt a similarity in your powers..."

"But she shouldn't have helped at all," said Demeter with a stern expression,"You were both reckless, foolish, and above all I told you not to get involved!"

"Demi! This is not the time nor the place nor the person you should be mad at, later on tonight we will discuss what happened here today, and what to change for the future.", said Ptolemy not missing a beat," She doesn't really mean to be...well mean... she was just worried that we might get hurt..."

[GrayGriffin]

Mei nodded. "Yes, I felt a residue of my sister's energy among you, so I approached, expecting to find her. She has been wandering lately..." She wondered if she should continue further into the matter, and decided that these two probably already knew about Fei's condition. "I think the posession has been getting stronger...I hope it doesn't take over her completely."

[10]

[endermage]

"I think...I think she will be able to fight it...." said Ptolemy with a smile,"She is incredibly strong, not to mention that penticorn friend of hers...."

Demeter looked to the ceiling,"We better get going...more agents could be here at any point..."

"Can we teleport?" asked Ptolemy

"Yes...when you slammed into him...the field colapsed."

"Bye Bye Mei! We'll see you again!" said Ptolemy,"And thank you!"

It a flash of green they were gone.
