The Hunter, part 30
The last of the Nova Bombs shot towards the World-Ship as the coalition fleet prepared to transit back to slipstream. Dylan gripped panel before him tightly as he waited to see if his plan would work.
The missiles struck home, and the World-Ship was torn apart from within as the Spirit of the Abyss lost control of the energy poring into it. With a scream that shook the centre of the planet, it vanished.
Still sat on the floor of her quarters, Trance looked up: he was coming for her; the final battle was at hand. She stood, and slowly made her way to the deserted Observation Deck. She stood silently in the centre of the room and waited. It didn't take long for him to re-form before her, his eyes glowing red with rage, "You shouldn't have tried to stop me!" Trance smiled, "It's what I do. This doesn't have to end like this: you can go back peacefully." The Spirit of the Abyss laughed, shaking the entire ship, "Never!"
Rommie looked at the sensors, "Dylan, there is some sort of disturbance on the Observation Deck." Dylan looked at the main screen, "Put through the security camera image." Rommie tapped a few commands into the computer, and the image on the main screen changed: Trance stood before the Spirit of the Abyss, her arms held out wide. She started to glow from inside, the light getting brighter and brighter until they where no longer able to make out her outline.
A beam of light emerged from Trance and struck the Spirit of the Abyss: it screamed in agony as the light covered it from head to toe. The light started to shrink, slowly drawing the Spirit of the Abyss into an ever- shrinking ball of light: the sphere shank until it became a point, and then simply disappeared.
Trance disappeared from the observation Deck, and reappeared in Command. She smiled softly, "Sorry about that, but it was something I needed to do. I have to go now, but I have one last gift for you." A second beam of light appeared from Trance's hand, and knocked Rommie to the ground.
