Sepher's attack does not go as planned. The wraith roars in pain when Sepher sets his hand on it's chest, but the lightning has virtually no effect. The wraith teleports away to escape any pending physical attacks from Sepher, and then launches two fireballs that sream towards the floating warrior.
Soul Reaver's attack, however, was finally successful. Having finally happened upon these wraith's only weakness- pure physical attacks, Soul Reaver manages to take out his wraith. He flies through the air, just behind the dispel magic barrier that causes the magical bolts to fizzle out before they hit their target. The anti-magic barrier has no effect on the wraith itself, but Darkstar crashing into its thin skull does. The body of the wraith falls to the ground in a heap, and Soul Reaver is left with a crushed skull stuck to his weapon.
As Cameron begins to concentrate on unweaving the magic that is holding the gate open, he feels a wave of anti-magical energy rip by him. The gate wavers, weakened by the spell. Cameron grabs the opportunity and focuses all of his mental energy on the gate as Jharm and Deravon land behind him.
As the gate slowly closes, a huge creature begins to pus it's way through the gate. It is a warp beast, identical to the creatures that had attacked the companions earlier. It manages to get it's head through, but the ever shrinking gate cuts gouges into the monster's shoulders as it tries to squeeze through. Snarling in pain, the creature pulls back, leaving only it's head sticking through the closing gate. It roars in frustration, and then pulls it's head the rest of the way back into the warp as kelvack lands. The gate snaps closed. The invasion has been halted.
Cameron turns to face the three companions.
"Thanks for watching my back. Are the other wraiths dead?"
Looking around, Cameron spies the last wraith flinging fire in Sepher's direction. Wasting no time, he launches himself into the air, intersecting the fireballs before they reach their target. He takes control of them, but he does not send them back to their creator. he instead absorbs the non-magical flames and uses the energy to temporarrily boost his strength. Flying behind the wraith, he attacks before it can turn around and cuts it in half with his blades. The final wraith falls dead.
Cameron drops back to the ground and walks back over to Jharm, Deravon, and Kelvack. Karyl joins him, and Cameron glances in his direction.
"Karyl. Did your team make it through okay?"
Karyl nods.
"Yeah, man. We got attacked by these flunkies too, but they were just mopping them up and closing the gates when I got sent over here. They should be waiting on the platform."
Cameron nods.
"Good. We're done on Cadia. It's time to move."
I can't remember how this got started.
But I can tell you exactly how it will end.
