An elongated fist slammed the killer into the broken skyscraper, saving Sehki seconds from sanguine splatter.

"I leave your side for one week and now you've got two people trying to murder you," spitting mud pellets and kicking the mooks off of him. ""

"Lore," catching her dressed as a casual Victory Rider Aqua, "na?"

"Nothing to quell the Voids fear source than a heroine's arrival," taking his body and grinding on the walls to slow their descent, pulling out the same whip and stretching her arm to free the other two, landing on a room-sized rubble dragon controlled by Ainsley.

"Shadow, Rigal, and Mr. Uyocron, allow me to help."

"Ainsley?"

"The others are on the way. For now, we can't let the others get," interrupted by the Herdsman hammer tossing his club at them, destroying them all as Cree descended the fastest of all of them, who kicked him away to the floor.

"You all get rid of the Voids! Rigal prep while I'll hold him off!"

"Cree, wait!"

He shook his head, grabbing his staff. "I've been waiting for years to settle this," as the Herdsmen ripped out his own. He twirled it, weaving his feet to extend his kicks and flipping over the psychopath, landing a head cracking head strike the killer gnarled at, grinding against and pushing him back.

Cree laughed, catching it through his armpits, corkscrew kicking him in his face. He struck the assailant's hand before they could summon a weapon repeatedly, stomping his legs to run on his body and throat whip him, repelling him away.

"Ur~sa," wiping down his face."

"I'll take that as a complement," before more portals opened around them, summoning Voids. The Herdsman wiped out his veil and halberd to snare and kill them, but Cree channeled wind around his body the former absorbed too late as he canceled it, reversing the force into the mindless creatures.

"No regeneration for you," winding up all parts of his body as the constellations around his body started lining up, pouring all his magic into one final attack that pierced through his sister's chest, watching him cough.

He dropped to his knees. "It's over."

Rigal began charging his attack, Ainsley and Lorena were busy doing crowd control, but Sehki, preparing for the lightning strike, saw him pulling out the staff.

"Cree, get out of there!"

He looked up too late, about fall to fall mercy to the same person he was arrested trying to stop.

"Callistio's Dress!"

A sharp cryogenic construct burst from in front of Cree, freezing the staff and the Herdsmen's arms legs. He turned around, jaw dropped as Sehki blew a sigh of relief.

"Candy?"

"Hurry," transferring her magic power to boost him up, as the Herdsmen's bruised throat struggled to absorb their magic.

The two blew frozen arms from their mouths, clutching the staff and smiling together as they lifted their pursuer up and threw him airborne.

"Rigal, Shadow, now!"

Lorena threw Sehki airborne, holding the Spiral Gears in his hand while the Herdsmen contorted his hands to wield the sword and spear, sniffing enough Aquila magic to run up the building and lunge at Rigal.

Sweating, Prince Rigal summoned a weaker and fast sphere of circling wind around himself to hold him back.

Covering himself in his specter as the lightning swooped down and electrified him through the gears, he let himself spin and raced off his rival's whirlwind, flying head first at the blood hungry killer with fire in his fist.

"Firestorm Eclipse!" He smashed him with a combination of fire, lightning, and darkness.

Candy froze the ground and created an igloo around herself and him, shielding themselves as the Herdsmen fell on top of them, completely drained and defeated.

Rigal was about to fall when a bandaged figure leaped off a tree, catching him with scaling hands.

"That texture?"

"You're welcome, dummy," Rilis said as Mandrew wheeled down, apologizing for letting her demands come. Rigal, tired, stared at her.

"You came back?"

"Getting broken up doesn't mean I want to see you broken up."

Her words cracked through his facade, about to say words he never thought possible.

A portal opened up behind them, dragging Rilis into them. Their heads followed her screams to the sight of Cluster, collecting Cluster in their hands.

"Isn't that?"

"The one who turned Taylor into a Void."

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Allow me to rid Shugoda of these troublemakers," as a portal dropped Rilis into their hand while the Herdsmen snuck in front of them into their other.

Both dark skinned princes panicked.

"Rilis!"

Sehki turned back to Lorena, who stretched her arm back, throwing a devastating elastic fist. He dashed into his shadow, immediately leaping and running on top of her tensile arm inching closer to the mastermind slipping into one from behind.

She rippled her hand to launch him further, just inches from reaching her hand. Time slowed down in his eyes, spotting a laboratory inside of the portal and another person trapped inside of a capsule.

Who–who is that? Could it be, Flint?

The hesitation stopped his fingers a second as they touched Rilis' grasp, clutching them too late as she slipped inside. The devastation on his eye mirrored the same shock he had with being too late to reach Flint.

"Don't go!"

The crack from Rigal's sky shattering scream at losing his ex-girlfriend sent a ripple down Sehki's mind: the same words of a feminine voice with his name coming first as their bodies grew separated. Being cushioned by Lorena's arms couldn't erase the shock.

"Hey, I got you."

"Merci," too anxious with the fear of an actress able to counter Void infection and a serial killer in the hands of the Astrovoids leader.

"But who has them?"

The Uyocron siblings were able to embrace, but Xia and Calypsa arrived too late, descending to a distraught Rigal while Taylor watched on via the streams.

The paparazzi appeared while Sehki contemplated the pyrrhic victory.
