What Arron ended up facing when he followed was not the mistress taking back the debt. Instead, ahead of him stood Talbot, brandishing his sword and jamming it into the chest of the woman. He was dressed in his armour, and it suited him perfectly as his pale blue eyes stared out from the helmet, glaring at the woman before him.
"That is enough." with new found courage, he began to slash at her. His swordsmanship had not suffered too substantially, as every strike was calculated and effective.
The Mistress was cut down, healing herself only to be cut down again and again. She hardly had the time to reform a wound before another fatal injury was inflicted.

The sight caused Arron to gasp, only to feel the pain from the dagger. He could only watch as his friend began to tear down the woman who had caused everything. His legs began to give out as he slowly slid to the floor, using the wall as support. Despite the pain, he was glad that his friend had found his courage.

Talbot knew that Arron was in trouble, so his slashes quickened. He continued to press on, despite the fatigue and strain he'd already put on his body simply from standing. Even so, he kept mercilessly draining the lives of the woman that had tortured him for four years straight. He'd built up all of his anger, and focused every terrible memory in the centre of his mind so that he could end his mistress's wretched life for good. Atticus helped by pinning the woman in place, biting onto her legs from behind. He trusted his friend not to slice him, and was right in doing so.

Watching, things began to blur with each ragged breath. His mind slowly became foggy, thoughts were only fragments as he felt the tightening in his chest from the wound. The mechanic was only a bystander to the woman's demise.

He aimed a slash at her neck, certain he was at least getting closer to killing the damnable woman, but he didn't expect her to block the attack with her arm, slicing it clean off.With quick movements, the mistress stepped forward, freeing herself of Atticus's teeth and slamming a hard punch at her slave's jaw.Talbot stumbled back, then fell to his knees. He was breathing hard, and lacked the strength in his body to stand again.As soon as her arm healed, the mistress used her leg to push Talbot onto his back, then she straddled him with her legs, pinning his arms to the floor.
"You thought you'd kill me? In your physical state? Pitiable, at best."Atticus growled, and went to bite her, getting her right shoulder into his teeth.

Arron could barely see what was going on, but his mind registered it first. His body moved on its own as he aimed the pistol that was still in his hand at the woman's head. He fired in hopes of distracting her, not sure if his blurred vision would had hit the right target.

Talbot struggled under his mistress, unable to get his arms out from under her knees. He was feeling much too weak to escape her, and he was quickly losing what little strength his body still had.The woman was shot in the head, and still had Atticus clinging to her, but she simply laughed once her head healed.
"I've figured out how you've been blocking my powers, Arron, if you can even hear me by now. When I was out of your sight for a moment I felt the block come down. You need to be able to see me." she leaned forward and forced a kiss onto Talbot's lips.
The knight shook his head to try and get her off, just barely missing when he tried to head butt her.
"Stop!" he demanded."So once you fall unconscious or die, I'll collect the debt. But maybe I'll play a little with my toy first. It's a shame I have to throw it out." she put her hand to the knight's chest and unhooked his cloak, not phased as the lion clawed her back to ribbons.

In a last ditch effort, Arron stood as his vision was becoming tunneled. There was still the canister on the coffee table. He stumbled over to it & grabbed it. Opening it revealed a small glowing teal crystal. He lunged at the woman in an attempt to grab her jaw to force it down her throat.

She avoided his grasp with little difficulty, but flinched when she felt movement under her.Talbot wrenched one of his arms free and drilled his sword into her chest, making a visible hole.
"The hole, Arron, before it closes!" he urged.

With difficulty, Arron jammed his crystallizing fist into the gaping wound of the mistress. He let go of the crystal, it was hot to the touch & had burned his hand along with crystallizing it. He hoped she would not be able to take it out of her chest before the wound healed. He felt light headed.

"What have you done...?" the mistress asked, voice dark and eyes glaring into the area where the hole once was as it healed over. She flinched and put her hands to her chest.
"What have you done?!"Atticus growled, and backed away nervously, unsure of what was happening.

Arron stumbled backward, pulling Talbot with him. "Rad-Radio...ac...active... core..." he managed to say. The woman was going to burn from the inside out, or suffer from radiation sickness until she perished. It was a gruesome way to die.

The mistress's angry expression formed back into a grin, and she started to laugh hoarsely as the core did what it was meant to. She pointed at the slave as she sunk to her knees.
"I will never die. Not so long as you're alive. I'll haunt your nightmares for the rest of your life." she laughed collapsing onto her side.
"You'll never... be free, slave. Never." her words trailed off as finally, her last breath escaped her, and she died.Talbot had no time to focus on her words, and quickly sat up the best he could.
"Arron... your chest..." he said with a wavering voice.

The Lythcol mechanic did not hear his friend's words nor did he hear all of the mistresses's. His surroundings grew dark as he collapsed. There was a peaceful look on his face; he felt tired & let the tiredness wash over him.

"Arron... you can't..." the knight said with a wavering voice. He tried to keep his emotions in check as he panicked, having no idea what to do.
"The hospital. Atticus, we have to carefully get him to the hospital!" he shouted suddenly, very gently lifting Arron in his arms.Atticus crouched low to the ground to let Talbot on top of him, then he started carefully jogging out of the building."Down that line of trees, and then keep running until you see the town. I'll direct you from there." Talbot instructed, eyes locked on Arron the entire time.
