When the skeleton finally landed on the ground with the chain, he staggered when he tried to stand back up from the fall and fell to his knee. The swordsman felt a very sharp pain in his leg when he tried to stand, so he checked underneath his pant leg, and to his misfortune, he found a cracked fibula, which was a terrible thing. He could not stand due to it's condition, and trying to dodge anything would just result in making the matter worse. No time to think about that though, as a very annoying succubus was rocketing through the air towards him, and was prepared to strike him down. With haste, Bonesword quickly turned around and drew his blade in a swift motion and pointed it towards the succubus, stabbing the illusion through the heart and making it disappear in a barrage of light. 

The skeleton remained kneeling, not wishing to stand due to the risk of ruining his leg even more. The ground around him began sprouting small tufts of vegetation, and soon a pumpkin began growing to immense size beside him, with the inside of the pumpkin hollowing out and providing a place to sit in for protection.

Next time, don't count on being able to flee."[/b][/color] The large pumpkin finished growing and sprouted legs made out of roots, and with one large claw it grabbed the wounded skeleton and put him inside the beast. It began running towards the Machina sidelines, while the skeleton looked out the top of the pumpkin beast back at the battlefield. Next time a battle broke out, he wanted to be either on the front lines or with a group of more able-bodied fighters instead of grunts. 

With his sword sheathed and cape flowing in the wind, the skeleton had fled the scene.
