Mikey tried to raise himself up to warn Jenso, but was too slow. "Jenso, no!"

	But it was too late.

	The barrier dropped, and Jenso's foot struck the man's arm, but a second layer of red energy blocked his kick, and the sphere shot forwards, shrinking to the size of a ping-pong ball before penetrating Jenso's chest and exiting the other side. The man stepped back, and lowered his arm.

	Again, the small sphere shot back towards the man's hand, this time piercing the opposite side of Jenso's chest, through his heart, in a single swift motion. Lark struggled to stand, but before he could manage, Pij was forcefully removed from his being, and the man was left laying with his sword dissipated, and his familiar fainted in her smaller, bird-like form but his side. The man in red stepped towards him and leaned forward, looking over Jenso as he fell back to the ground.
