Hannah watched in horror as the lightning from the raging storm lit up the scene like a photographer's flash.
The madman who stood at the ship's bow angrily pointed at the werewolf - and a tree-trunk sized tentacle whipped out from the vortex and wrapped itself around the beast, binding him tightly in place. Then the madman chanted a stream of some forgotten language and long, slimy appendages likewise whipped out and captured the mummy and the vampire.
The Consumer had all of them in its grip
The madman cackled maniacally and shouted into the wind.
Hannah took a deep breath. She had only one chance to make things right.
