[quote=CreedTheChimera] Ari, sensing her life is about to end, screams. The scream somehow carries a physical force, as it blows away the darkness and extinguishes the black flames, but does not apply any abnormal pressure on Michael. When she is done screaming, Ari immediately summons a black aura herself, hurling several black spikes at Michael. [/quote] Michael dodges all of the spikes except for one, the lone spike piercing through his abdomen. He let's out a beastly roar of pain. Meanwhile, the spikes surrounding Ari fade as whatever is controlling Michael attempts to remove the spike, causing him to bleed even more in the process.
