Kael rose and summoned a new shape in his hand. It was a shape he'd never seen before, besides in his mind.
The end of it was thin, perfect for prying. It was long, which would be useful for leverage.
This wasn't a weapon. It was a tool.
Shoving the end of the tool in between the seam of the plating, Kael pried.
The metal didn't move for a moment. Then it began to creak.
The panel bent away from the floor.
Already, Kael could see a faint glow coming from beneath.
Finally, the panel popped loose, and heat blasted his face.
Inside, beneath some kind of cage, was a glowing orb, letting off a greenish-purple hue.
Kael reached out, putting a couple of his fingers through the hole in the cage.
I can override it. Force the transport to come to a stop.
The tips of his fingers touched the orb, and the gem reacted immediately.
Kael tried to focus, but the gem seemed to be taking over his thoughts.
SLOW DOWN THE TRANSPORT! GIVE ME YOUR POWER!
