The lab was set aflame. Scorching heat seared into Sanemis scales as she looked up. It was Crash, His dull gray fur seemed unharmed by the embers as he blocked the only way out. "What are you doing! Help us!" Sanemi shouted. Crash looked at them for a moment then said "No. I don't think I will." Sanemi stared at them, dumbfounded and infuriated. "You all have caused so much pain here, it ends tonight. It ends now." The rest of the group gave eachother uncertain looks as Crash continued. "All of the subjects are safe and free, but you? No. Your going to burn." "But why!" Peridot shouted from the back of the crowd. "Please Crash!" Crash hesitated before saying "My quarrel is not with you Peridot, never has been. So you can choose to stay with them and burn, or be free." Peridot hesitated looked over to her colleagues, then nodded to Crash. He let her through and said "As for you all. Your all going to suffer for what you did." Sanemi realized their was no way for them to get out. Crash was stronger, he would just push them into the fire. "But what about you. Your going to burn aswell." Sanemi said, holding back her fear. "Thats the best part about going to hell. Your fireproof. I'm going to watch you burn." Everyone stared panicking then, Crash seemed to enjoy it. Sanemi growled and felt the urge to lunge at Crash. "You all played a part in their suffering, In MY suffering. I hope theirs a lesson here when the rubble clears." He took a step back as Flames engulfed the exit, trapping them. "Now, be still, and give up your souls. They don't belong to you anymore."
