Sacrifice

'H-huh…?'

Gerard found himself in a daze.

'What is… going on right now?'

His blurry vision could hardly make out anything that was happening, and the pain he was experiencing was too much for him to feel anything else.

He could no longer move his hands, legs, tail, or wings.

Why?

Could it be because he was still in a haze? Or… could it be that they were no longer attached to his body?

He saw several limbs that resembled his falling from the height he was currently stuck in. He saw a pair of wings and a tail too.

He could have sworn they were his.

But… What were they doing away from his body? Why was he currently suspended in the air while they limply fell to the ground?

It made no sense! Gerard tried to understand it, but he could not reconcile his expectations of how the fight was supposed to go with the fact that he was currently limbless and defeated.

Especially since it happened within a second.
