| Spotting one on the Queen's chest, just below her secondary set of arms, J'kar focused his energies and let loose with a powerful jet of flame. It smashed into the damaged carapace with a crack, and another section of armor fell away, oozing blood that sizzled upon the ground. The Queen's attention shifted from J'kar to Ian and back several times. She hissed at J'kar, apparently seeing him as a greater threat. She turned back to Ian and lashed out with her tail, impaling him in the shoulder and with a jerk of her tail she whipped him off of her tailblade straight into Azrael, sending them both sprawling to the ground. She then turned and barreled straight for J'kar, who was muttering in Demon, spiraling his hands building up energy. His face twisted in agony as he, expending most of his remaining energy, summoned up from the demon world a massive beast made of flame, molded identically to match the Queen. The two titans crashed into each other and exploded into a fury of claws against flaming claws, teeth against burning teeth, and tail against raging tail. J'kar slumped, exhausted, struggling to ignite an inner flame, to feed from its energy output and replenish his stores, with little success. All he could really do is watch his creation battle it out with the unearthly monster from another realm. |
