There was an explosion everyone could hear, and what happened to Lord Satanis was not at all pretty to look upon.\\
Kent Nelson, standing in his blue and gold uniform, hesitated a second. Then he reached out, separated his own helmet from Satanis's, and replaced it on his head. Thankfully, it contained no baleful energies. He then took Satanis’s helmet. It came away from his body, with what was left of his head inside.
