Absolute Power!

"Darius! Now!", he said as he opened his eyes after judging from the sound that the Grey was only a few inches away from him.

The sight in front of him was something he would recall to be the most terrifying he had ever seen for quite a long time. The Grey's head had practically split open and its mouth had enlarged to a length of almost 4 foot. It was still stretching, as if to envelop Lance whole.

But just after he shouted, an expression of "Come at me" came on Darius's face. He pointed at the swirling sand, making it grind to a halt and letting Lance fall down to the ground.

Due to the Grey standing 8 feet tall, Daneel's head only came up to near its neck.

Its eyes changed as it felt control of the sand wrested away, although only for a brief moment. This was all Darius could do, but it was enough.

It stared at Darius, making him scream again and fall to the ground.

The scene that followed seemed to be synchronized. Right as Darius fell to the ground, Entsy kicked at his head, knocking him out immediately.

Seeing that the connection was lost due to Darius fainting, the Grey looked down to handle Lance first.

Lance wouldn't give it the chance. He activated the wishroot with all his will, burning all of the stored energy.

He diverted all of the resulting power to his left leg and right hand. Also, he knelt with one leg on the ground in the brief moment that the Grey had glanced at Darius to attack him.

By bending so, he maximized the upward force that would be generated by lifting off of his foot.

The power was first driven to his leg, generating a tremendous upward momentum as he kicked off the ground. The floor outright cracked, unable to handle the pressure.

Next, in the milliseconds that were left before impact, he urged all of the power to transfer to his fist.

This was simply an amount of power that could tear normal tendons and fibres apart. His rebirth in the Ambrosia was the main reason why he had a body that could at least try to handle and transmit the force effectively.

Yet, the sudden rush damaged his hand and leg, making them bleed. Lance simply had no time to even think about them. His only focus was on destroying the vile thing that was in his fist's path.

Accelerated by both his legs and the power from the wishroot, the punch carried an incredible amount of power that would definitely have blown open a hole in the steel vault in the first mission.

Lance felt a strong resistance as he connected with the grey. The grey's skin seemed to be made of a very sturdy material, capable of even defending bullets effortlessly.

The skin felt slimy and wet, which made Lance realize that this was actually the inner mouth of the Grey.

The skin bent inwards, unwilling to relent. But, the absolute power would not take no for an answer.

The skin ruptured, allowing Lance's fist to go through the face of the Grey before assaulting its brain. Its eyes were wide open but they no longer had the dangerous effect like before.

His leap from the ground sent him flying in the air while punching, making him penetrate the brain fully before exiting out the back and landing on the ground.

Stinking, black blood sprayed the walls. It had even sprayed his clothes, staining them red. Thankfully, the leather jacket seemed to have a property which let him wipe the blood off easily.

The grey fell to the ground with a "THUD", lifeless. The gruesome sight presented itself to the team, making the twins hold their mouths so as not to retch at the scene.

Even Lance felt his stomach turning although he was the one who had done the deed. Yet, seeing the lifeless body, a smile came on his face. No longer would it contribute to the abduction and death of many members of the human race.

The sand on the ceiling fell down like rain, reassuring Team Lance of their victory.
