Chapter 18: 18: Showtime
Ben placed her on his back and dashed, it gave chase. That demon wasn't closing the distance, but it wasn't gaining on him either. Ben started to freeze the doorways into barriers, but it just slammed through it. Sure, it slowed down, but then it would just explode into a burst of speed.
Ben kept running until he reached the stairwell, about 100 metres down. It started to gain on him with the girl, causing him to yell, "Faster!" Ben then took a step and was parallel to the door. He dropped his knees and burst left.
Voll jumped onto the rails and jumped from rail to rail and reached the next level; Ben then created an ice clone to run down the stairs. He turned right and saw the library, Ben heard the scampering of stairs. He walked to the back and put the girl into the room, "We not until we sure the Midgar Royal have arrived. We'll be-"
He attempted to enter, but he was grabbed and flung Voll across the room; that thing snuck up on Ben. It was about to slowly enter and the girl was consumed with fear. Ben jumped at it and kicked the side of its head. It flew, far.
"Close the damn door!" She nodded as she listened; the demon didn't just stand up; it rearranged its body to get up. Ben was sitting on a desk looking at it, "You're disgusting." Ben attempted to freeze it through the air but it was just unaffected.
It was like that thing was thing was elemental resistant. It walked directly to him. Ben then formed two orbs of ice, and they floated next to him, "Do you want to get your head crushed? Oh, can't speak."
Ben stood up, and the balls immediately slammed into it, slamming it to the side of its head again. Ben was terrified.
