Your hand gives way, the ejector doing nothing to help. The blade strikes true, skewering you through the shoulder. The plating thankfully halts the blade from going further. The pain was excruciating and you buck trying to escape it, thrashing around within your core as the interior heaves. Ivan is closer now, he drives his own device into the Phobos and unleashes another round. You feel the core on top of you leak further, you tried. But she was dragging you down. The Ejectors weren't going to stop it.
Blood flooded the core, blinding you as the world flipped and you fell. Again. Back Into the abyss as the claws of oblivion reach up to grasp you. You sit up, the crude shrapnel bed pulling free from your flesh. Back within the Fifth Layer, you weren't alone. Anastasia sat cross legged on her own pile of rusted scrap opposite you, blood oozing from her nose and ears. Her small body was bleeding from just about every orifice. You can make out burns along her arms and legs. Electrical burns. Her child sized fingers and toes blackened beyond any use. "I'm sor-" Girl starts to talk, before a scream echoes through the misty land of the fifth layer.
The rest of her words twisting as she seizes, tearing her burned body further apart upon the unforgiving metal. <span class="mu-g">"H̴s̶g̵e̶k̵ ̵s̵k̸r̵w̶u̶ ̵e̶h̵a̶n̶.̸ ̵B̶e̷i̵e̷m̷.̶"</span> you didn't move. You watched as she bled more, her sickening display made you feel weak. Searing your mind with the sight. You stand, tempted to try and help the girl. But you weren't sure what to do. You step forward. A freezing hand holding you back.
She was at your side. Then you spot it. A thin chitinous arm slinks from between the metal ground, you notice more of the limbs. They were still, swaying slightly. Hiding and waiting. It was a deep copper, painted in the girls ichor.
