The Soultaker wastes no time as it blasts Dark Lance with it's missiles. But he is easily able to dodges them and rushes towards the Mech, at incredible speeds.
In his desperation Barbatos, the man piloting the Soultaker. Uses the Soul Steal to try and steal his soul away, but it does nothing as Dark Lance punches the helm of the suit, sending it crashing through a wall.
Barbatos is shocked. "How does he resist the Soul Steal?" He wonders. But Dark Lance enlightens him.
"Foolish human, you can't steal what has already been stolen.... Now give it back!!!" He yells as his fingers become dark claws.
"Go to Hell!!!!" Barbatos screams as he flies the suit into the air with it's trusthers, and launches all of its missiles. The resulting explosions destroy an entire block in a instant. Barbatos thinks he has won but has no idea that Lance is above him, preparing for an attack of his own.
The Dark Lance raises his hand into the air, and day turns as dark as night. He creates a sword of dark energy, and with one swing it cuts through the Soultaker, striking it down with enough energy to rip it apart. The attack not only clears the darkness, but it sends shockwaves that could be felt across the Common Domain.
The Soul Gem cracks before it shattered, releasing all the souls it had stolen. Dark Lance now creeps towards the injured Barbatos, who was trapped in the wreckage of his destroyed suit.
Lance is about to slash Barbatos with his sword, but Lora stops him. "Lance!... If that really is you. Please don't kill him, he must pay for all his crimes, but not like this. Please don't do it." Lora begs as she stood behind Lance.
Dark Lance turns back to face Lora, with the souls from the Soultaker escaping around him. "I'm not the man you know. I am his protector." Dark Lance tells her, with an emotionless look on his face.
Before he can say any more a soul zooms into him, and he falls to the ground. Lora runs to check on him and sees that he's okay, In fact everyone that affected was okay. Once their souls had returned to their bodies, they were all revived.
The people of the common domain awaken and praise Lora as their saviour, but deep down she knows that they would never accept the truth of what actually saved them.
Sebastian, Mr Manuel, Brock and most importantly Lance's mother Elizabeth are all alive and well. They come to visit Lance in the hospital, and he's happy to see them all. As for Barbatos, he died from all his injuries, but not before revealing the reason behind his rampage. "Death to The Heart King." He muttered with his final breath.
Back at the hospital everyone is asked to kindly leave by the doctor. But Lora stays to ask Lance one question. "Are you a Demon? ".
Next: Cursed.
