'Why won't this thing die?'
Edward asked that question many times before this, He had been broken down and beaten to a point he was unrecognizable. Just a struggling, piece of flesh clad in golden flames that desperately tried to repair him. Emma was long gone, after a few more attempts with her, she had been priority target number 3 after Alan and Kazikato.
The fragment was far from a mindless monster, it was intelligent to a shocking degree. Thankfully, most of that intelligence faded into madness when it laid eyes on Alan and Kazikato, especially Alan.
Being the spawn of the being that killed the original Kizmal really messed with the fragment's mind, and it showed intelligence rarely... unfortunately, it almost always tried to eliminate Emma within the first five minutes. At first, they had thought she had just been unlucky, to be hit with the most lightning bolts and eviscerating light, but the damn thing was targeting his sister.
