Chapter VIII: Combat
Fayrii shot forward in front of everyone, colliding head-to-head with the Demon. Starfire shot starbolts at one of the shadows, while Robin threw discs. They passed through them. Frustrated, Robin ran up and grabbed the shadow by the throat and lifted it into the air, strangling it.
"Robin, you are touching the shadow!" Starfire shouted, jumping up and down. The others stopped to see. Robin stopped strangling it and looked at it, before tossing it and turning to the others.
"Everyone, use physical attacks!" Robin shouted, and jumped off to another shadow. BB turned into an alligator, and crunched on the shadows. Cyborg used football tackles. Raven, Starfire, Blackfire, and her mother resorted to keeping together and kicking shadows away.
Starfire's father and Robin were beginning to enjoy fighting together. Both of them had locked their elbows, back-to-back, and were kicking shadows and flipping them sky-high.
Fayrii was locked claws with the Death Faerie. They stood pushing each other back and forth. Fayrii jumped up and brought his feet over his head, bringing them down on the Demon's head. In response, the Demon grabbed Fayrii by the throat and threw him with all his strength. Flying through the air, Fayrii looked ahead and saw a wall. "Oh crap," he said, and made impact.
The wall crumbled into blocks, and dust kicked up into the air. Fayrii stood up to find the wall had been near where the female guests had been. Fayrii smiled and nodded his head towards them, saying, "Hello girls." He quickly brushed himself off, and jumped back at the waiting enemy. Fayrii jumped up and slashed at the Death Faerie's helmet. It snapped, to show the Demonic face full of black hatred.
The Death Faerie swiped at Fayrii, who ducked. Fayrii popped back up, to see another fist coming his way. Bam! Fayrii shot back again, sliding on his back. Lifting his feet up, Fayrii threw himself forward, landing on his feet. The Demon took out his double-headed spear. Fayrii grabbed a long candlestick holder, and sliced off the base and top, leaving him with a metal stick. He spun it around him, and ran up to meet the prepared Demon.
Robin shot forward, and kicked another shadow. One more lay before him. It held the gun that had disintegrated him. Robin unlinked from Starfire's father and jumped at the shadow. It responded by moving to the side and grabbing Robin's wrist, throwing him to the side. Robin hand sprung onto his feet, and took out his ever-favorite Bo stick. He started to walk toward the shadow, spinning the Bo stick in front of him like a propeller. The shadow shot its ray gun. The stick vanished.
Upset that his Bo stick was disintegrated, Robin jumped forward and knocked the ray gun out of the shadow's hand. The shadow looked at the gun on the floor, before turning to see a fly kicking Robin. The shadow flew back and smashed into the wall, defeated. Wearing his evil grin of victory, Robin ran to fight more.
BB and Cyborg were working together. BB was now a triceratops, charging into shadows, while Cyborg rode him and swiped at any survivors. Unfortunately, BB was feeling tired, and he didn't see the wall. The two crashed, making a mess. Fortunately, there had been shadows in between the wall and them.
Starfire and Blackfire seemed to have forgotten that there was a battle going on, because they were talking to the other girls. Raven stood next to them, listening but not participating. Starfire's mother was also chatting with the other mothers, while the boys continued to fight. The girls' chat was broken by a shout from a rocketing Fayrii, "Incoming!"
The girls moved out of the way just as Fayrii hit the wall again. Rubbing his head, Fayrii got up and did a little bow, before running back. The girls remembered the shadows around them and starting fighting again.
Fayrii ran at top speed and head-butted his opponent in the stomach, knocking the air out of the Demon. Grunting, the Demon picked up the Crown Prince and gutted him in the stomach, before slamming him into the ground. Fayrii gave a look around his environment for any thing to help him. Nothing, except some girls watching him. Not wanting to look weak, Fayrii jumped up and landed on the Death's Faerie's head, slicing at him. The Death Faerie grabbed his double-headed spear and impaled Fayrii with it against the wall, before stepping back, smiling darkly. The Demon turned towards the girls, since they were the closest target.
A black blast smashed into the Demon's back, causing him to turn around. Fayrii was standing there, holding the spear in one hand while the other was outstretched. His stomach regenerated, and Fayrii threw the spear down. Holding out both hands in front of him, Fayrii shot a beam of black magic at him. It ripped into the Demon, who shrieked. The shriek tore through the ears of everyone there, temporarily stunning them. The Demon picked up Fayrii and jabbed him head-first in the wall. Fayrii's eyes turned blue.
Starfire and her Tamaranian friends were suddenly distracted by a blue explosion. They turned to see Fayrii levitating in the air, surrounded by a blue aura. The Demon was lying on his spikes. He got up, and charged Fayrii. Fayrii lifted his hands up in the air, moving blocks up high. He brought down his hands and the blocks came shooting down on the Demon. Jumping up out of the wreck, the Demon smashed into the first thing that came into contact with his tail: Starfire and his friends.
The girls were slammed into the ground, screaming. Fayrii heard and saw. His aura vanished, and his eyes turned from blue to red. Yelling, Fayrii shot black and white magic at the Death Faerie. It crippled into him, sending his nerves into haywire. Hs eyes gleaming red, while Black and White magic rested in his hands, Fayrii tipped his head towards the right. The Tamaranian planet opened up in fissures running that direction. Then he tipped his head to the right, and the same thing happened. Fire spat out of the fissures, swallowing the shadows and bringing them beneath before the fissures closed.
Fayrii shot up into the air, and blasted both magics at the Demon, shattering his defenses. Fayrii flew back down, and wrapped himself in his black cloak, while the cloak grew taller (imagine it like Raven's in Nevermore). The cloak began to suck in the Demon, who ripping at it with his claws.
"What's the matter, afraid of the hell which you were spawned?" Fayrii taunted his voice dark and foreboding. The Death Faerie slashed at the cloak and ripped it, returning Fayrii to his normal size. Fayrii lifted his hands in the air, shouted, "I banish you to the burning hells!"
The Demon shrieked one last time, before shadows surrounded it and left nothing. The shadows vanished into thin air. Robin ran to Starfire to see if she was okay. Fayrii's eyes were still red, and he was struggling against himself to control his rage. He punched himself in the face, and he returned to normal, his powers under control. Robin was helping Starfire up, Cyborg was checking for damage to himself, and Raven was healing BB. Starfire's parents were talking to each other, while the guests talked among themselves.
Breathing deeply, Fayrii walked over to his friends. Robin was hugging Starfire and kissing her. Fayrii grinned, and used blue psy to hide them in a psychic curtain. After looking over at BB and Raven, he shielded them with a curtain as well. Cyborg was talking to someone who looked like Starfire; except she had black hair and purple eyes (Fayrii hasn't met Blackfire yet). He walked over, curious.
As he got there, he heard Cyborg say, "So I'll call you later." Fayrii grinned evilly, and cleared his throat. Cyborg looked down at him, blushed quickly, and whispered to him, "If anyone finds out, I'm blamin' you." Fayrii nodded, but crossed his fingers behind his back.
"So, you must be Fayrii Lijaro," Blackfire said, holding out her hand. Fayrii shook it, and gave a little bow. After talking for a while, Fayrii decided to repair the room. With white magic, Fayrii began fixing the damage done to the castle.
