The Core

Sven left the unconcious Nikita on the side, far away from where the battle is happening. While Jae and Sue are doing everything they can to make a diversion, Sven and Contagion readied themselves to launch an attack. The ten needles are going to puncture some vital points of the body. Sven throw two needles to the outer thigh nerves, three inches up from the knees, that made Endure's legs numb. From then, it can only attack with its arms and ferocious teeth, instensely decreasing its mobility inside the cage.

Sven targetted its solar plexus right when Endure was about to fall on his knees, causing it to gradually lose its breath, but Endure is a tough entity for this is not enough to make it collapse. Sven told the others to make Endure face the other way, so Jae and Sue run towards the south to bait themselves, without hesitation, and Endure followed them. With the clear sight of Endure's nape, Sven throw another two needles to its mastoid process, making it dizzy and finally fall.

Lying facing the ground, Endure lost its mind and started emmiting an even more powerful flame. Its eyes turned into a violet fire, and its mouth spits violet fireballs. The intensity of the flame made the ice that was hit by them melt in an instant, creating lots of holes on the ground filled with water.

Jae enlarged his shield for a couple of meters just to cover the attacking Sven. Sven gathered up all of his energy to go near the might of perseverance just to pin another needle to the base of its skull, making Endure a bit dazed, yet still not enough to make it unconcious. Endure mustered all of his left energy to stand once more. But all it can do is stand on its knees.

"I'm going to tear your body apart!" It screamed, revealing its neck, so Sven throw a needle to its windpipe, causing it to lose its breath. He then thrust another two needles to its temples when he got the chance, adrenaline is coursing throughout his body.

Endure, with poison all throughout its system, lost its conciousness and falls to the ice once more, but this time it is not going to be able to stand up again. With the last needle Sven is holding, he took out the eyes of Endure that seems to be fire orbs. These orbs are too hot to be held, so he used his last needle to skewer the two orbs. Sue used some of her existence to break them with her energy gun, and they shattered like glass - its crystals assembled into a vortex. At last, the portal is open and the cage made of black rods fade into view.

They were all exhausted from the engagement, they plunged to the ice ground, and released a sigh. Sven looked at Nikita right away to see if she's okay. Dragging his body to her, he slowly goes to where she is at, and asks her is she's alright, but no answer was heard.

"We need to go back to the memory crystal!" Hailstorm pleaded.
