Bobba slowly rose to his feet and stumbled across the room, breathing very heavily. He was coughing quite a bit, but using his bracelet, he surrounded himself in stone, and created a pillar from the ground to the ceiling, near the edge of the strange stone above them. The pillar detached from the ground and seemed to rise up into the ceiling like an escape pod made of rocks. Bobba was gone in an instant.

	"Curse him!" Bobba hissed while he traveled through the earth. "This trip is going to destroy my bracelet... Curse him, curse him!!!" Bobba was planning on finishing Jenso quick, but now he was forced to escape through the ground. His middle bracelet cracked as he made his way up, but within about a minute, he was above ground. Just in time, too. As he ended up bursting up from the ground in the village square just outside his shop window, his bracelet's gem shattered. "Gah..."

	"Bobba!?" Katie shouted, dropping a stack of dishes. Bobba turned to her and rose his hand. "Where the hell did you-"

	"Quiet, bitch!" Bobba shrieked, attempting to call a stone spear from the ground. But it was no use. His ability to manipulate rocks was gone with his bracelet. He only had two bracelets left now, but with Jenso out of the picture, he had plenty of time to prepare for the ritual.

	"The meteor shall turn this village into a beacon for arcane energy! You peasants will see what true power is! My wealth... My wealth will overcome!"
