As, Bean raced up the stairs to Sorcerio's lab, all she could think about was how she couldn't lose Luci. She cared about him too much. She couldn't let her last words to him be 'I hate you', she just couldn't. she would never be able to forgive herself. Finally she reached the tower.

"Elfo! Luci has been captured! Come on we need to go!" she screamed.

"What? Luci has been captured! Oh no!" Elfo said.

"Come on lets go!" she said.

As they ran through the town, Bean couldn't stop thinking about what she'd read in those books about exorcists when she was younger. How they killed the demons they hated most last. How they tortured them before making them die. How they enjoyed watching the demons writhe in agony, screaming for mercy. How they enjoyed causing so much pain, that the demons would throw themselves into the volcanoes, just to get away from it.

"Come on we gotta save Luci!" she said, running harder.

Something caught her attention, horses! She and Elfo ran to them getting on and galloping away. She couldn't help but cry when she thought of Luci, her Luci, her little demon, writhing in agony, begging for death.

"Bean? What's wrong?" Elfo asked.

"Luci," was her answer.

"Bean, it's gonna be alright, we'll save him. Don't cry." Elfo said, he wanted to comfort her.

"I know, I know. I just can't help but worry that we might not make it in time!" she said.

"I know you are Bean, so am I, but Luci needs you strong and ready to fight, he needs you to be strong. You can't help him if you're too busy sobbing your eyes out, so man up and dry those tears." Elfo said. He was worried too, he had been so cruel earlier, he needed Luci to know he didn't hate him. He couldn't hate him, he loved him too much, Elfo knew Bean did too.

"Yeah, you're right." She said. Elfo was right. Luci needed her strong. She needed to be ready to beat the hell out of Big Jo.

After being stopped by the creeps who had betrayed them earlier, beating the shit out of them, taking Beebaw's necklace back, then riding for another 30 minutes, Bean and Elfo arrived at the volcano, where they could hear screams of agony coming from a carriage, which they recognized as Big Jo's.
