Bzzzz-
With the Chainsaw roaring wildly, Lynn gritted his teeth and finally shredded the seventh Polluter on the spot.
But he could clearly feel his strength failing. His current body was far too frail; even swinging the Chainsaw was becoming a struggle. The burden of the Firstborn Power on his soul was also increasing. If he kept burning through his strength like this, he really might not hold out.
He blocked attacks from several swift Polluters with a metallic clang.

He stepped inside.
Without the slightest hesitation, Lynn scooped up the still-bewildered Blood Doll and sprinted toward the far end of the alley.
