Again ignoring her command, Arsenelle keeps the spotlight firmly on Sulfur, while stepping closer for a better look at her foe. Sulfur screams out a second time, then violently disperses her gaseous form outward in all direction, leaving no trace of her behind.

The forceful gust sends Arsenelle down on her ass. Before she can get up, something behind her strikes and snaps the tiny oval spotlight off her armor. The tunnel shifts back to black.

Despite being momentarily blind, Arsenelle instantly reacts. She swivels herself onto one knee and spins a complete circle, firing off several dozen rounds of ammo into the darkness all around her. When she finally stops, and the ringing echos of bullets quiets, she stands back on two feet. Knowing the futility, she tries her goggle features regardless, but her eyes uncover no other signs of life. Until her ears hear Sulfur speak once more.
