Amara stood just behind him with her fox summon floating nearby.
"You need backup," she said firmly. "We're coming with you."
Victor's eyes narrowed.
Danny and Amara were strong, but he wasn't about to let them risk their lives for him.
"This is not that type of party..."
With both hands, he grabbed the metallic edges of the torn opening—
And forced them shut.
Danny and Amara shouted in protest. Their hands grasped the edges as they tried to push back out.
But Victor was too strong.
Using his raw strength, he pressed the metal back together, forcing the torn parts to bend inward, sealing off the only exit.
"Stay put!" Victor shouted.
"Victor, you bastard!" Danny roared while pounding on the inside of the barrier. "Don't do this alone!"
"Victor!" Amara's frustrated voice rang out frantically.
Victor took a deep breath and forced himself to ignore them.
