“Okay, is everyone ready?” Two’ Manchu asked as my stacks finally hit fifty. I took a deep breath and nodded.

“Yeah, I’m good,” I said, looking over to Crash.

“Okay, let’s shift,” Sabre said, and as one we all stepped out of the lightning. It was a little weird because for the last minute, I’d been getting my brain zapped by blue lightning, and the sudden absence of electricity coursing through me was somewhat disconcerting. Still, I wouldn’t have to worry about that for long.

No. I had to get in front of the red lightning and let my debuff block the current so Two’ Manchu and George could break the coffin in the center.

I sprinted around the room, heading toward Crash’s corner while he went to mine. Meanwhile Sabre and Dark Heart were also switching places.

Everything was going according to plan.

Until it wasn’t.

As I stepped in front of the red arc, my entire body lit up with sheer unrelenting agony. My mouth snapped shut in a visceral growl that cut off the scream that had been about to tear from my throat as every synapse inside my brain fired at once. My muscles spasmed, and I dropped, collapsing in front of the arc.

“Elizabeth, what’s going on?” I thought because it hurt too much to actually speak.

“Your debuff, Blue Rolling Thunder, is in conflict with the Red Rolling Thunder energy source. You are experiencing backlash. It will continue until the Blue Rolling Thunder debuff is removed or you are no longer being struck by the Red Rolling Thunder energy source,” Elizabeth said in a voice that was far too sexy for the current circumstances.

“Guys! It’s working!” Two’ Manchu cried as he launched himself at the coffin. His hasted axe lashed out, colliding with the coffin and sending a series of cracks spider-webbing across its surface. A dopey grin crossed his face moments before a howl of protest ripped through the air.

Despite the pain coursing through me, I managed to turn my head in time to see a skeleton pull itself free of the tattered remains of the tapestry lying on the floor. It turned its gaze onto Two’ Manchu as the barbarian continued to hack at the coffin, sending bits of glass flying in every direction in a way that reminded me of that level in Street Fighter II where you had to break the car with your fists of fury.

“I got the skeleton!” George called, turning to face the monster as it advanced on them. Crimson light glowed from within its skull, and as much as I wanted to help my friends, I couldn’t. Even telling myself the pain wasn’t real was nearly impossible. It hurt too damned much. This was like the time I’d fallen off my roof and shattered both my legs in the rose garden while helping my dad hang Christmas lights. Only that pain didn’t hold a candle to this.

A blast of concentrated cold exploded from George, slamming into the skeleton and shattering it into a billion pieces.
