He grabbed with his second hand, pulling, groaning in pain.

The Precious redoubled it's output, delivering more electricity. The host also reached for Leon to shock him as well.
"It's your funeral, dude." Camden muttered, pulling up the search results on his HUD.

Leon pulled himself back and let out another flash, "Damn it," he muttered.

"Hoo boy, this is gonna be fun." Camden muttered, reading the only search result that matched. "Do you by any chance know of any lightning benders in the area?"
The host reeled backward again, beginning to weaken from the strain of the Precious.

"I don't know any lightning wizards or anything," he said.

"Well, then, we need a generator or something.... oh crap." Camden muttered as a warning popped up on the HUD.
WARNING, PRECIOUS TOO DANGEROUS! DESTROY IN LIEU OF CAPTURE!
"Well, that's a new one." Camden muttered. It was the first time he had seen a warning like this. He dismissed it and pulled up a energy detector, a program designed to detect nearby sources of energy. Ignoring the obvious one reeling in front of him, the nearest was... on the other side of town, in the coroner's office.
The host, meanwhile, recovered and ran around Camden, who barely noticed since he was too engrossed in seeing how this could get done.

Leon ran towards Camden, "Well, now what? He's going," he returned to his other form and lifted his lamp, "But I can shoot it."

"I know how this works. It's a Precious called the Spine of the Saracen. It was developed by ancient Turks during the Crusades in an attempt to create the perfect soldier. It enhances and focuses the bioelectricity in the body as well as exerting limited mind control. The host attacks what they hate." Camden explained. He turned to the 2 remaining gangsters left. "And he seems to hate you guys. According to legend, only the 'hand of God' can remove the Spine. According to this picture," Camden used his headlamp to project an ancient picture on the wall, "I'm guessing it means a powerful jolt of electricity." |

"I can hit it with light," he said, "But no electricity. God could be light."

"I wasn't finished. Recently, they've been doing some modifications down at the coroner's office. In order to do these modifications, they've killed the power. Unfortunately, they need to keep the bodies chilled to prevent decomposition, so they have several auxiliary generators to keep the freezers running." Camden said. "All we need to do is lure the host to the coroner's office, hook some jumper cables to the Spine, and shock it to hell and back three times over. It should detach, in theory."

"In theory," Leon said, "Well, sounds good enough to me."

"Okay. Provided the host survives long enough, we should have a good bit of time. You two, come with me." Camden said, pointing to the survivors. They nodded sheepishly and followed, as Camden walked to the coroner's office, dismissing his armor for the time being. His plan was to use the gangbangers as bait and ambush him. He had a Precious that absorbed electricity, some ancient sponge or something equally weird, which he'd left in his bag from a previous mission. After a quick stopover at the motel to retrieve his bag, he was ready to go.

Leon went with him, his armor vanishing. He'd do this in normal form for now, so as not to stand out.

The host stumbled around, searching for his prey. He had reverted to a pure animal due to the influence of the Precious, not attacking his targets out of hate, but simply because they were now his prey. His mind was no longer human, despite his body being so. He approached the coroner's office, where Camden, Leon and the kids waited.
"Okay, so let's go over the plan. You blind him with a flash of light, I'll attach the cables and start the flow, and cross our fingers that we don't simply fry the poor dude." Camden said to Leon from his position beside the entrance door, with a jumper cable end in each hand.

Leon nodded, in his Saint form, his hands ready to use magic, "Yeah, let's do it."
