Writer: Skyler Hanke.
Staring at the horrible figure before him Angellion raised his palm, and a small orb of light took image. "I will strike you down, Angellion. Put your hand down! Before I cut it from your wrist and hang it along my belt." Cassidy spoke with a voice constructed of the souls of thousands. His tone changed uncontrollably, and one moment his voice was nothing more then a loud shriek. Using the palm of his blood soaked hand the Demon seemed to stroke the trophies he'd collected. The large metal torso that held the Demon together had a belt covered in the tails of different creatures. "I don't usually hunt Human's, but I'll make an exception...""
Angellion coughed and tossed the formed ball of light towards Cassidy. The sudden burst struck the Demon in his chest, and he was knocked back a couple feet. Scratching his feet along the ground the entire time. "The only hand you'll be taking is The Dark Lord's, as I march you and him back to the Underworld!" The old Sorcerer shouted. Xavier seemed frozen in fear at one point, but now realized that this was a battle.
Cassidy charged towards Angellion and tossed his rusted hook outwards. This forced Angellion into a dive to the side, and he came in contact with the dust covered ground. His arm landing in a pool of blood that soaked his white robes. "Xavier, don't touch the blood!" Angellion commanded. The blood which covered Angellion's sleeve began to pull him into the ground, and he screamed in pain. "How about you walk down to the Underworld with me? On the way, how about letting me have that hand of yours for my collection! I might not remove it, but my minions will..."
Xavier immediately turned to Angellion. "Angellion, what is he doing to you?!" The Prince shouted. "He's not sending me to Underworld, because he doesn't have the power to come back from the Underworld without the help of The Dark Lord...The pools of blood each have a minion underneath them, and its shaped as the person that lost their blood...This one is holding me down, but it didn't count on me being a Sorcerer!"
Suddenly the Sorcerer let out another formed ball of light into the pool of blood, and raised his arm. The blood had bubbled a moment and a winged beast came out from inside. Shaped much like a Fox, and wearing a suit of Paladin's armor. "Corrupted Paladin? That's an interesting twist!" Cassidy shouted in his demented happiness. The Demon watched the Paladin grow wings much like Xavier's, and keep flight for just a moment.
"Xavier! Destroy Cassidy with the power inside that rose! Form a weapon, and use it while I release this Paladin's soul!" Xavier looked at the rose he'd kept with him for the past few moments, and blinked down at the petals. He could see the image of his beloved, and suddenly one of his previous Paladin's. Holding onto his belt like it had two weapons concealed the Ottsel swung his arms outwards. In each paw he now held a weapon. Two silver sickles, and both curved with the image of his past Paladin's crests along the blade.
Staring in amazement to what he'd just done. "The Dark Lord will not like this..." Cassidy muttered, and he turned to Xavier. "Prince...Prepare to be defeated!" The hook covered Demon ran towards Xavier at an intense speed, and the entire time Angellion was holding the Dark Paladin down against the ground with a powerful netting of white light.
Xavier jumped into the air and tried to leap over Cassidy, but the Demon swung his rusted hook overhead. The bladed tip came in contact with the bone and muscles between Xavier's wings, and locked into place. He spun the Prince around like he was about to toss him into the air. He instead began dragging him along the ground. "Die Prince...Die just like your beloved!" Cassidy laughed insanely.
Angellion turned his head and release the netting for too long. The monster he'd been holding down jumped into the air and kicked the Sorcerer in his chest. "Down, pathetic Sorcerer!" The winged beast shouted. Angellion soon hit the ground hard, and was knocked out for the rest of their confrontation.
Cassidy cocked his head in Angellion's direction and laughed once more. Turning back to Xavier and realizing that he was no longer holding onto the Prince, and even the end of his hook was missing. Slowly stepping backwards the Demon noticed his hook had been sliced into two pieces. His chest was cut all around to his neck, and his minions faded away.
"I won't be going to the Underworld anytime soon, Cassidy. Though I'd be more then willing to help send you back there instead..." Xavier stood behind Cassidy a few feet away. His wings were down liked each had lost their abilities to stand up. The sickles were covered in blood, and glowing a bright aura of white. Cassidy held onto his neck for just a moment and collapsed onto the ground...
