There wasn't anyway to describe how Seraphina felt

Anger?

Sadness?

Despair?

Horror?

...

Rage?

Everything she'd bottled up the time of the attacks began...was released into her fighting, Blyke and Arlo fought next to her as Elaine, Remi, and Isen dealt with John.

She knew she wasn't leaving unless it killed her.

...

"A memory wiper?, I thought these were a myth!," Isen eyes sparkled "Hurry up Isen!," Remi yelled, clutching the leather bag that held all John's outfit "That memory wiper is hooked up to John so unless you want Seraphina to kill you I suggest you hurry up," Isen nodded quickly pulling the metal hand that held John's neck, out of the way "Elaine can you heal him?," Remi asked as Elaine didn't answer "I-I don't know...I've never healed anybody who doesn't have an injury on the outside of them!," Elaine closed her eyes tightly "Those drugs Keon injected in him...There flowing through his veins every second-," She paused quickly, feeling a cold shaky hand on her shoulders...

"W-We'll do it t-together...," John's voice whispered. Elaine looked up at him in shock as John's eyes flashed a dull amber. Copying Elaine's ability as he took his hand off of her instead placing it onto his chest as Elaine slowly copied, her teal eyes flashing brighter.

She felt every vein

Every drug slowly slipping away

"John be careful!," Remi yelled, worrying crashing into her chest hard as Isen quickened his pace with the machine, sweat ran down the two healers faces as John's eyes glowed brighter "T-There almost gone just hold on...," John muttered as Elaine nodded.

"Hold on...,"

...

"Now!," Both John and Elaine removed their hands, John's face now a green as he quickly jumped up and vomited "Oh my gosh!," Remi quickly ran over to help the raven as the teal haired female still sat on the ground, dizzy and a little sick from what happened "Huff...I'm fine...Remi..," John wiped the sweat from his forehead, Remi lifted herself before reaching a hand to the raven "I can't believe that worked...," Elaine muttered, placing a hand on top of her head as her dizzy spell disappeared.

"You okay?," John asked from above her, "I'm okay, Just a little shocked I could do that," Elaine smiled as Remi came up beside John "I got the machine shut off, John how are you feeling?," John felt confusion hit him "Uhm...," His eyes widened for a minute before he frowned "Oh shit...Sorry Isen," Isen tilted his head, before realization hit him.

"Oh it's no worries, you must've been hooked up to that gas for a while," Remi nodded. "So it still might be affecting you," John slowly nodded. "Just tell me you still remember how to use your ability and fight?," Isen joked as John grinned "Absolutely," Remi paused the two men "Before we do that," She lifted the bag over her head "How about a new outfit that comes with some perks?," Remi winked her eye as John nodded.

...

!!CRASH!!

The flickering lights barely lit the narrow corridor, a tension-ridden hush falling over the group as the battle began. Seraphina didn't wait—her instincts exploded forward before reason could catch up.

Keon's arms morphed with a sickening snap, stretching and twisting into long crimson tendrils pulsing like exposed nerves. Seraphina narrowed her eyes. She could feel the air shift as one of the tendrils snapped toward her.
