Meanwhile, inside the Astral Dome...
The mutated guards' numbers were slowly dwindling and the smaller in number they became, the faster they went down as Hal's forces were now the ones outnumbering their victims.
Marla was now allowed to run wild on account of there always being more than enough more powerful members of the force around to have her back.
Hal had to say, he was quite impressed with the manner and ease with which she wielded her weapon. The boulder-like ball on the Dark cosmic armament had become a menace.
Hal could see that she had only really added the sharp spearhead for cases in which she needed to actually pierce something because otherwise, she seemed to really be enjoying bashing her victims encrusted faces in with the use of that heavy ball.
Right now, she leaped into action and the closest guard to her saw himself getting smacked to the side. He rolled and stood back to his feet almost immediately.
