As he was being torn apart, Lucien reached his sword arm quickly around Lance and stabbed the superheated katana through him and through himself, pinning the two together. Just as he did that, his now torn-apart angel wings wrap around Ronin in a burning embrace before - [i]BAM,[/i] they hit the ground in a thud that nearly extinguished all the burning flames around them due to their velocity and sudden halt. The bones of Lucien crack and shatter, as would Lance's due to their speed if he did not have a way to cushion the damage. Lucien's bowels were splayed all across the burning earth, revealing the cut-up insides of his. To one's disgust, it seemed that the flesh beneath the leather coat was rotting and decayed long before it was burnt. His inside were only slightly reminiscent of a human's, as crudely grown extra organs still beat wildly in the most bizarre of places. The liver was missing, instead replaced by two inhuman hearts that were still beating and connected through valves to what remained of Lucien's body. The gas mask's reflective glass was cracked, revealing a slight portion of the flesh beneath. It too was rotted - a far cry from Lucien's Oriental features free of decay. He was so disembowelled in fact, that he was nearly gored apart and torn from his lower half. Yet his sword remained impaling both of them together - which upon further inspection seemed more like finely-detailed and carved bone than actual metal. It was coated in a sap-like substance similar to thickened blood, most likely from which acted as fuel for the fire to burn upon. The torn apart angel screeched once again - or it tried to, at least. Most of its vocal cords were destroyed. The hungering flames burning the earth began to run up the remainder of the creature's body before it gave Lucien an evil look through a pure black eye seen through the mask, now fit for work food and doubtfully functional. The thick fog still blanketed the area, as did the stench of brimstone and burning flesh... The latter more apparent in the ripped apart man pinned to Lance.
