Chapter 20: Showdown

Chris and Leo reformed in the warehouse Darryl had met Marc and Kelise in. All three of them were there and the blue-white orbs alerted them to Chris and Leo's arrival.

"They're coming." called Darryl as he, Marc and Kelise got up to meet them.

"What..? Where are we?" asked Chris, then noticing his friends "Darryl! Marc! Kelise! What are you guys doing here?"

Darryl grinned at Chris and made to open his mouth to speak when the demons who had been in the meeting room with Wyatt shimmered in.

"Watch out!" yelled Leo.

Chris threw himself to the ground to duck the energy ball thrown at him and flung out his hand to direct the next one back at the demon that had sent it. He pulled himself to his feet and used his telekinesis to throw another demon against the wall. "Ain't magic grand!" grinned Chris aiming a kick at another demon.

Leo grabbed the first thing that came to hand, an old piece of piping, and swung it at the demon nearest to him. The demon staggered slightly then turned round snarling angrily. Leo backed away as the demon advanced on him looking for something that he could use to vanquish the demon. Seeing Leo in trouble, Darryl yelled "Here!" and threw Leo an athame. The demon, distracted by Darryl's cry, turned his head slightly, leaving Leo with an opportunity to throw the athame at the demon. The demon stared bemused at the athame protruding from it's chest before exploding into flames.

Free of any attackers, after just having vanquished one, Chris looked around the warehouse to see how his friends were getting on. Leo had also just vanquished a demon and Chris smiled slightly at the sight of his dad, the elder, vanquishing demons personally. Chris could see Marc and Kelise working together to fight a demon, but Darryl appeared to be in trouble.

Deprived of any weapons, after throwing his to Leo, Darryl was backing away from the demon he was fighting, who had just powered up an energy ball. "Oh, this is so not good" muttered Darryl. Chris lashed out his hand causing the athame that Leo had used, to fly at the demon. The demon exploded in flames, but too late for Darryl; the demon had already let the energy ball fly.

The energy ball hit Darryl in the chest, slamming him up against the wall behind him. "Darryl!" yelled Chris as Darryl fell back to the ground unconscious.

Leo rushed over to Darryl's side, as did Marc and Kelise who had just vanquished the last demon. "Heal him." demanded Chris of Leo, unnecessarily as Leo was already doing that.

A golden glow shone from Leo's hands and spread to Darryl. Darryl stirred, moaning slightly as he raised his head. Chris smiled elatedly as Darryl sat up and the group of them pulled Darryl to his feet.

"Did we do it?" he asked wincing as he shook his head from side to side.

"Yeah," replied Leo, "We did."

"Or not." muttered Chris, a feeling of dread spreading through him as a swirl of blue-white orbs announced the presence of another.

"Yeah, little brother. Or not" smirked Wyatt.
