Ren's henshin also broke, forcing Darkraider to revert to Darkwing. It was now hovering in the air, with nothing left of the cultist. Nothing Ren could do could stop it.

He was frozen, barely processing what was going on around him. He'd never let his control over Darkwing slip like that. It was the one thing he'd sworn to himself never to let happen in the Rider War--the one line he wouldn't cross in the beginning, and one of the only promises he'd made to himself that he'd held to. He'd seen what the Monsters had done to people, and he'd had to force himself to accept that he couldn't save some people. But he'd never let Darkwing do the same, not after what he'd watched happen to Eri.

Now, he could only stare at it with the same fear and hatred he'd had when they first met.
