All the Starbugs howled in agony, begging Sophie Wexler to spare them. Gripped by the terror of death, they descended into a complete panic.
Cillian Forrest sensed the fluctuation of a massive layer of energy in the air. 'This is bad,' he thought. "Sophie, stop! Your body can't handle that much energy!"
Sophie Wexler could no longer hear any outside sounds. All she knew was that her Spiritual Sea was frantically absorbing energy, her body felt like it was about to be stretched to the bursting point, and her Spiritual Sea was in excruciating pain.

The restless force in Cillian Forrest's Spiritual Sea and Sophie Wexler's spiritual power were locked in a constant tug-of-war, neither willing to yield.
