Something cold and metallic pressed against my throat and I felt an emotion that I have never felt in a long time. Fear. I didn't have to turn my head to know who it was. Prince Nuada seemed intent on avenging his fallen comrade just by judging the position I was in at the moment.

" You" He said addressing Hellboy " You will pay for what happened to my friend down there" While pressing the lance closer to my throat, yet not drawing blood.

Great I thought grimly i'm going to be either killed or ransomed. Where in seven hells is Anya when you need her?

" Yeah right" Hellboy said while throwing his Cuban cigar down and drawing out his prized weapon " You take checks?"

" Demon. Born from a womb of shadows, meant to destroy their world yet you still believe you belong?" Nuada asked

" You gonna talk all night cause I'm really sleepy" Hellboy retorted

I caught a brief flash of golden hair and suddenly Anya appeared beside Hellboy. The look in her eyes said one thing: she was pissed. I glanced from the corner of my eye to see Nuada's gaze shifting from Hellboy to my sister. She sighed and took on the look of serenity as she walked foward; palms outward in a gesture of innocence. But Nuada's gaze turned ice cold as he shifted his stance.
" I'm sorry sis but do you have an early death wish?" I questioned Supporting most of my weight on my right foot.

She didn't answer as she focused her eyes on the main problem; Nuada.

" Let my sister go prince of elves. She is not human; do not take your anger out on a child" Anya said using the tone that reminded me of a mother protecting her child.

Nuada glared at my sister who held her ground and met his eyes directly. I felt the pressure of the lance slowly move away from my neck completely. I let out the long held breath and ran to my sisters outstretched arms. She hugged me briefly and began leading me back to the group only to heard Nuala say "No brother no"

I peered over my shoulder and saw Nuada holding a golden, egg-shaped box. It began unwinding on it's own and Nuada plucked the small-green like substance that was the size of a bean

" Kill them" I heard him whisper to the bean and then he tossed it into the street.

I quickly turned my head and saw the bean become animated and heading straight for the sewer. My head tilted off the the side in confusion at the whole situation, Nuada was going to kill us with a bean? I couldn't help but laugh a bit.

" it's just a jumping bean" Hellboy said. Annoyed at the fact that this was a complete waste of time.

" It's going for water" Nuala replied alarmed and then turned to Abe " Hurry"

Abe somehow understood the danger of the situtation. For he began to attempt to catch the jumpimg bean as it headed for water. He almost had the bena when it fell into the sewer. That was when I heard the noise coming from the jumping bean. The cars stopped driving when the ground beneath them shook. Only then did I realize what was going to happen. The people in the street began to panic as the ground continued to shake. i walked down the street trying to pick up any strong vibes from the earth. My footsteps died when the earth suddenly stopped and everyone grew quiet. Suddenly the street gave away as a large plant-like being emerged from the ground.

" Its an elemental, a giver of life and the destroyer" Nuala said not taking her eyes off of it.

" Huh?" Hellboy said turning so that he was facing her.

" A forest god" She simply said

" A forest gods eh? I'm gonna get me big baby" Hellboy said quickly heading heading for the truck. He grabbed his gun and began firing on the forest god. The forest god cried out in pain as I did.I sank to the ground clutching the ground as I screamed. Having the tie to the earth was both a gift and curse. I did not have the strenght to turn into something else. My ears pounded as they were at the mercy of the earth. The earth screamed in pain and agony in my head and I fell to all fours as I struggled to get up. My vision was blurry, but I still managed to make out the outline of Hellboy holding onto an infant as he ran away from the enemy. My strenght returned and I reverted back to my wind form. By then Hellboy was jumping on cars since running proved to be too much.

" Agent Hellboy, reach higher ground and shoot the weapon, shoot the weapon" Johann said turning to look at the forest god.

Hellboy was about to reply when the forest god slammed one of his tentacles down on the car. That caused Hellboy to be catapulted in grabbed the cable and swung himself onto the hotel sign. He allowed his tail to wrap around the baby and he began to climbed as the forest god began to hit the sign, trying to knock Hellboy off. He made it to the H as the forest god ripped away the last of the sign and tossed it in arandom direction.

" You must shoot it in the energy danglieum" Johann shouted.

I snickered knowing that Hellboy did not have a clue as to what Johann was saying.

" What?" He asked as Johann repeated what he said previously.

" He means. Shoot it in the head" I shouted as a piece of metal went through my body.

Hellboy made a face as the sign started to give away. Apparently the forest god noticed as well and began swinging at Hellboy. It looked like the two were playing a game that I could vaugely remember playing with my friends. He apparently said something to the baby and tossed it up as he winded up' big baby'. He caught the baby with his stone hand and fire at the Forest god. It screamed and fell back against a building in pain.

"Agent Hellboy, Take the shot. that's an order" Johann shouted over and over again

I glared and reverted back to my normal self. My palms faced outward and the crackling of lightning made me smile. I held my palms outward towards Johann and watched as he was electricuted though it would only stun him and not kill him since he wasn't human. I felt no remorse for my actions and looked at Hellboy.

" Don't listen to gas bag over here. Do what you need to do" I shouted as Hellboy lifted up his gun an aimed it at the Forest god. He didn't fire since he was deciding wether or not to kill him.

I turned my eyes towards the sudden appearence of the prince. Somehow I felt the sudden chill if my blood boil over with rage at what a mess he was causing. I turned to see my sister staring intently at Nuada with something akin to..pity and love.t suddenly clicked in my head, my sister had fallen in love with Nuada.

" Demon" Nuada said " what are you waiting for? This is what you wanted isn't it? He turned to the forest god and then back to Hellboy " look at it, the last of it's kind. Like you and I. you destroy it the world will never see its like again. you have more in common with us then with them. you could be a king."

Nuada then turned to Johann who had managed to regain his strenght and was shouting orders to Hellboy. His then allowed his eyes wander over to Anya, the woman who was bold enough to meet his eyes back at the slaughter house. She had managed to capture his interest from the moment he saw her.
i shall see you soon Nuada thought then turned back to Hellboy.

"If you cannot command then you must obey" were his last words.

"Damn"Hellboy muttered.

The hotel sign gave away suddenly and I averted my eyes. The forest god lunged at Hellboy, but fell back when Hellboy took the shot.
