For all their efforts, there was naught to be done to save Eleonor from a grim, murky fate. 

The Crimson Knight wouldn't even feel the heat of Solanne's fire as it struck the slime with a hiss of steam, evaporating the sewage water still rolling off the gelatinous mass, and though she may have been a masterful swordswoman, there was little her sword still could do to bring her within reach before Eleonor was beyond their grasp. Tori's ruminations would take to long and pass up the opportunity to offer aid. Lorelai found to her despair that her Knight was gone before she could launch into action, nothing but a comical splash in the water heralding her departure. 

With speed even greater now that it was submerged, the slime darted down the sewers along with the current, its form only distinguishable by Crimson Knight at its center. In a matter of seconds it reached a far off intersection and banked to the right, disappearing with their leader in tow.

[color=crimson][b]"LADY ELEONOR!"[/b][/color] Screaming without a shred of dignity or decorum, the Abyssal Knight voiced her anguish with her released tome in hand, a battle standard now dragged through the grime caked stones in a white knuckled grip.

An endless litany pounded inside Lorelai's head in the face of failure so profound it drowned the world in a haze of red, body trembling from a pressure that had been building since their adventure had begun. 

There was no courtesy afforded to them that halted the barrage of calamity, as soon after he sound of water falling onto stone would alert the others present that another mass of slime lugged itself from sewage onto the stone from the direction opposite Eleonor's pursuer, positioned behind Tori and the revived Aquarion sisters as a blob that loomed well over them. It moved to elongate overhead, like a jaw raising to snap down upon them and devour the three of them whole.

Just like Eleonor.
