Geode felt the mass of their attack strike his body. His [i]entire body.[/i] The entire citadel shook, and cracked, getting pushed down by the meteor despite its sheer size. Geode's form buckled, but his barrier held strong against their attack.

	"Not yet!" Geode shouted, "You can't maintain that attack forever!" His barrier flashed brightly and pushed back against Jenso and Oswald. But the momentum from their attack began to bend the fabric of his shield. Soon, cracks began to form at every angle of the citadel. Gears fell and crashed into one another. Orbs and domes crumbled. The giant net of stone between the heroes and Geode shattered, and the triple helix fell to pieces. Geode clenched his fists, but his barrier finally shattered into a million pieces, and the two heroes crashed into him, launching his body into the platform below. The impact caused it to fall faster, but Geode's form was mostly unharmed. He floated above the two of them as they landed, his energy flickering. "Impudent little wretches. You cannot.." Geode paused and his body began to sink towards them. The entire citadel was beginning to crash down. That was his true body. Without a host, he could not maintain such impressive strength. His power was fading fast.

	But the citadel was going to crash into them as well.
