The prospect of Sombra having plans to interrupt was of slight concern to Celestia, it was something she may have to look into later. But she could agree with him on once thing, this creature would need to be slain. It was clear that there would be no conversing with it. Either it had been driven beyond all reason, or it had never possessed any in the first place. In any case, slaying it would be the only way to prevent future harm it might cause.
For however much of a risk it might represent however, it was still outnumbered, and by three beings who all had significant combat experience no less. It went down easily enough. Celestia didn't even need to contribute much beyond her initial distraction. She fired off a few more rays into the creature's side, as a token effort to keep it's attention divided, but Revan and Sombra were able to finish the creature of easily enough.
With the creature defeated, it haphazardly dissolved into a fragmented black mass, which Revan asked Celestia to deal with. Celestia was hesitant at first, lacking the set of tools she usually had for safely removing corrupt energies, but it didn't last long. Of the three, even in her limited state she was likely the best equipped to deal with the stuff. “Yes, I believe I had better.” She got to work. Her solution was precisely applied, extreme heat, burning away first the outside edges and working slowly inward.
Celestia continued the unpleasant but necessary work, even as they were approached by another figure, this time an armoured humanoid. Unlike the previous being though, this one was able to talk, and even seemed to prefer it. The figure congratulated the trio on bringing down the beast. It presented... something to them, retrieved from the creature's bowels, handing it to Revan who in turn passed it on to Celestia. She took the item gingerly in her telekinesis. Once again, she wished she'd remained better equipped to deal with such things, but of the three she was still probably in the best position to react to it if the thing started behaving strangely. The armoured figure finished by explaining that a Dr. Regal would be awaiting them on Coruscant, as he was dealing with more creatures similar to this one, before it left to presumably track down others.
Revan felt they should pay this Dr. Regal a visit, but was unsure where Coruscant was. Celestia squinted at the gates in the distance, what she remembered from the Omniverse primer at the forefront of her mind. Eventually she pointed toward one of them with her hoof. “That one should take us to Coruscant, if I've identified it correctly.” She began to walk that direction.
