Snippet #1366610

Standing perfectly still eyes shut while the others came to help, Ace begins summons all the magic power he could in his body , while Giacomo fires some pot shots into the creature . As the tar continues to fall the heart was moving back into the tar too quickly to make an accurate hit. Blitz apparently had seen the flare and he was quickly rolling over towards them.

"Ace, I know you've got a plan - a flare means you have a plan or need help, and i notice a distinct lack of tar on you - but here's a backup idea - if your plan doesn't take the thing down, what if i made a makeshift bomb from metal bits and fire lacrima and you teleported it inside the beast itself? or better yet, inside the heart?"

"We need to get this thing as far away from the city as we can Blitz, I'm not risking a bomb going off in the middle of town." Ace says while still focusing. " Though once it's heart is out I want everyone to blast it to kingdom come."

Hearing Hershell's screams coming from the monster, Ace stops for a moment, his portals still weren't strong enough to be able to send people through them so the thing had to be stopped quickly if they had any chance of saving him . "HERSH!, IF YOU CAN HEAR ME, HOLD YOUR BREATH!" Ace shouts as he opens his eyes, Three large portals appear above the mage each about a meter apart stacked on top of each other. Near where Giacomo had left a opening a fourth portal appears. As the tar starts to leak into the portal it reappears from the middle portal above Ace's head. Finally seeing the heart fall into it, Ace almost instantly dismisses the two connected portals As the heart falls into the bottom portal it comes back out the top portal building momentum. As Ace allows the heart to gain speed the rest of the tar quickly begins to travel towards the mage. When the giant flood of tar was mere seconds away from devouring the young mage he readjusts the top portal aiming it upwards and, towards the ocean. Crossing the portal threshold almost in a blur the heart quickly goes flying high into the sky. As the tar began to fly after its heart. Ace spots a familiar hand in the down the street heading towards him in the moving tar mass as it heads for the sky. Ace throws his hat and guns onto a nearby table as he jumps up onto a light post, Ace tightly wraps his legs around the top as he sticks both his hands into the moving tar. Feeling his guild mates hand amongst the thick liquid he grabs it and is almost instantly jerked into the tar himself. As his legs strained to keep himself locked on the light post he begins to pull his arms back out. Quickly he begins to make out the figure of the lazy mage as he pulls with all his might. With one final giant tug Hersh comes flying out of the tar, falling to the street below. Caught slightly off balance by the act Ace loses his grip on the post and falls right after him.
