He slaps her on the hind quarters –
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3zCJ8hQzm2
Still nothing.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvTTt0VTXgS
Sally turns her head slowly.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthbYLTHPnS
Her eyes ignite – white flame blooming inside of them.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQVkA7XO3E
Her body erupts in a holy white fire rising around her.

She gives him a look.

Not angry.

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VDAIPVaog
Metro: (exploding)
“WELL WHO AM I TO STOP YOU!!!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoBXsoyXSnf
He mounts with a single swoop —
Instincts kicking in desperation, destiny.
(INSTINCTS ACTIVATED-FIGHT MODE)
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCCqU2vHRGL
Metro’s screams into the storm.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhzZK8voDd
“LET’S GO BABE!!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA2tzfLdQfq
Sally rears back, Metro’s tears fly, countenance visible in the flashing sky — the white fire explodes, sharpening like a bonfire of light.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUPp2UbLIbC
They thunder forward.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNB47DbvMg
Metro: (crying, screaming)
“YA YA YAAAAAA!!”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOULoJvPdN
They tear into the burning trees. Metro’s cloak whirls behind him. Sally’s hooves strike sparks off the ground. A hot celestial light engulfs them both — a holy inferno cutting through the night. Metro's jaw tightens, his eyes leaking, grunting softly—determined to ride this out.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDBs7rxcG4f
LIGHTNING— cracks through the sky, illuminating the thunder dome.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqVj4QDosI
The world stretches thinner now. Metro hears a soldier struggling—a grunt, a cry, a body hitting mud—
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡggINpEBGNF
(Metro thinking to himself)
“Paul…”
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4SIPYHl7N
He spots him through the burning acreage. There are a few bandit bodies fallen, scattered. A few fights still rage at the far end of the field.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUv9WbRmIEj
Metro’s heart spikes. He hits the reins harder. Sally surges forward. A swarm of shadowed bandits flee from the blazing white light behind Metro and Sally.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ58dERtiDJJ
Metro throws a beam cannon through his palm like he’s pitching baseball.

Metro doesn’t stop.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8jfQOo3rl
Metro: (grunting loudly)
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDskdT7zjy
A fireball—baseball-sized—white and hot—explodes from Metro’s palm and detonates against a second bandit who's grappling a soldier.
The enemy drops,engulfed by a white bonfire, he rolls, he screams. Metro whips his head to the other side, Sally galloping fiercely.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1gPhevMnh
Metro’s in a second stage trance because of the burning bloom—he rides the wave smoothly, almost hypnotized by fury, charging foward for a third blast—
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgn2NFN2S2
Metro:(screams,covered in electricity)
"HAAA!!! "
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60rPJ4mFAr
(two handed, open palmed)
A white-blueish identical shape delays its form then gathers quickly, igniting a wrapped blue flame spiraling outward like an massive flare, cracks into a bandit’s chest—sizzling, popping its remains into flesh.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDgBUqlT2Vm
The reaper folds. Face down first. Metro leaps off Sally dismounting into a cleared opening. Multiple bandits rush him where the stocks are cut down
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzgnNgg7iq
He throws dagger after dagger.
—THWAP THWAP THWAP—
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFgJ9uZcFb
Until he empties 8 black dagger darts.
Every blade hits: Legs pierced. Arms gashed and gauged. Shoulders stabbed through, pinned bodies to the mud, to trees, to each other.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM4efF2NYwK
Sally bucks two bandits into the air—hooves cracking ribs—Saving soldiers who were moments from death.

Smoke choking the air. Fire everywhere. White flame around him hotter than it’s ever been.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStQEikuIaH
He crouches low—still running—with two daggers equipped-slicing a bandit's ankles clean through.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2KrYRlsG0
He spins, rising at the same time, 360—in the fire light—

Metro dashes towards Paul—who is on his knees, dazed, bleeding, vision warped by a third stage hell.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl19eAzyTjb
A massive bandit raises a club over Paul’s head—Metro leaps.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIGVm0Nm5I

A shadow gathered circus. Fire dripping upward.
Rain beading down slowly. Faces morphing into brown ghosts. Voices can be heard beyond—cut through the veil. Everything is broken in pieces—shattered in slow motion. He tries to breathe..The air tastes like evil smoke. The rain drops feel cold and piercing, yet warm. The ground is swallowing him. His heartbeat echoes in his skull, controlling his vision. The world around him suddenly changes.

Metro blinks hard, eyes red, mouth open, breathing deeply. The trance effects hit him in revealing waves. Fog thickens, warping his mind, twisting his senses into one another.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡehqwiL6geL
Voices rise—high, sharp, laughing, crying—high pitched screaming in an alien language he can’t understand. He fights, lifting his head. The world tilts. The shadows move desperately, stretching tall, towering ones through smoke and memories.
There are grim reapers standing over the battlement walls.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXhCV3jH4z2
Metro hears a new music he’s never heard before, something not of this world. Playing softly.

He panics.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtcirk9ofGQ
He sees Paul—on his hands and knees—green aura flickering dimly in his eyes only. Like two lanterns trying to stay lit. Bodies are scattered, twisted in the mud and firelight.

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf775cswQN9
The shadows rise in movement. Tall. Wrong in appearance. Shifting to imitate human forms.
They tower over the burning acreage, silent, patiently haunting, as if they've been waiting for him. The nightmarish twilight zone music replays in Metro's whole soul—the one from Ana's cottage paralysis—faint at first, then louder, vibrating through his skull.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DC37MBQmo
The shadows lean in, interested, thrilled, and demonic. Metro fights with everything he has, and gets on one hand and knee. He sees Paul trying to recover on his hands and knees, forehead on the ground, mumbling. Metro feels Rose's presence, fleeting, and evaporating.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5544EVSbL
Hell opens around him.

The same shadow tear that he sighted at Blake's stall is back with all its friends. The blackened doorway pulls at Metro's life force, invading him violently, abruptly, ravishing him. His chakra slips. The laughing demons loom over him—when a shape breaks through the nightmare.

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTn05Wu0UxA
Mathias stands over him, his energy field simmering down into a soft glow. His eyes are off balance, chest heaving, rain dripping off his beard. He grins widely.

99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSbfFy4xSb
Pressing and penetrating his mind and heart.
He sees Mathias's hammer lying in the mud, covered in red. Metro turns, and sees the assassin approaching slowly. Red eyes beaming, black ninja robe strapped tightly. A wind gust flaps his wet bandanna rags beside his raging disgruntled expression. He closes the gap even further—silently and smoothly.
99Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjn5i2Ej1hO
The shadows lean forward. The music grows louder. Rain hisses in the burning flames. A painting of angels battling demons in a burning war.

The assassin steps toward Metro — only a few paces now. Slow and deliberate, savoring the moment. His red eyes are stronger now, looking downward in intense control. The enemies' blade drips with blood, the medium sword unsheathed.
