<strong>Roughshod</strong><br/><br/>People who didn't notice when the monster was wrecking havoc suddenly turned to investigate as Nadia screamed her indignation into the microphone.  It caught the attention of the creature, who shifted from its unholy rampage upon random people towards her.  The instrument it bore was burning through the metal, working itself into an iconic spear of pure black flame, with each death building more towards that goal.  One could only imagine what it would do once enough people died.<br/><br/>The guitar smoldered with flame as well as Nadia swung at the beast, yet this fire seemed more natural, golden-scarlet and purifying.  The creature brought up the flames to attempt to parry, but the guitar continued through, catching the black fires and forcing them down into the monster.  Although the guitar exploded from the amazing impact, the creature burst as well, the black flame catching upon the thing and forcing it to explode into a cloud of dust and stinking ash.<br/><br/>For several seconds, no one moved, processing this amazing display.  Some seemed to be trying to rationalize it, accepting this thing which they simply couldn't comprehend.  A few in the back then started cheering at what they thought to be an amazing pyrotechnics display, and then, slowly at first but quickly picking up in speed, the rest of the nightclub erupted into applause.  Yet the skeletal forms of the other people remained, four in total, each horribly charred and surrounded by ash.
