The general quarter of HDC was now in alarm. The surveillance identified the intruders and ransacked the entire building. Releasing all prisoners, Abe and Johann tried to head towards the exit. They were joined immediately by Red, Liz and Nuada, which was carrying Selene unconscious.

"Brother Red!" Abe exclaimed, relieved.

"Thank God you're here, agents!" Johann said.

"Edgar is dead.I'll Explain you later." briefly mentioned the agent Hellboy. Then he turned to Abe and Nuada: "You two, go and ask for help for Selene, we think to throw down this shitty place!"

"Okay, Red!" Abe agreed that his friend was right: it was much more useful to help Selene at that moment than to the other.

In the confusion, no one noticed that the elf Lorcán followed Nuada.

Once gone Nuada and Abe, Red, Johann and Liz led the group of creatures towards a huge hall, whose perimeter was surrounded by gates, each of which occupied by dozens of guards were all armed to the teeth. The agents understood to be trapped. Even if, they could never attack those mercenaries without causing deaths among the prisoners.

"Only a miracle could get us out unscathed!" Liz said fearfully.

"Here it is a miracle!" Red exclaimed as she heard strange sounds that occupied the area, accompanied by cries of battle. Some of the soldiers turned back: heard the verses similar to those of bats, but soon realized they was wrong. Hundreds of tooth fairies, in fact, assaulted them devoured in no time. Immediately after noticed dozens of trolls, orcs, elves, goblins and bogart that attacked the remaining soldiers, who now fled everywhere. Wasting no time, even Red, Liz and Johann threw themselves into the fray, followed by other creatures. With all those creatures discovered to their aid, defeat the guards turned out to be a no-brainer.

Once neutralized the enemy forces, they went all out.

"Guys, where are you appeared out?" Red asked a couple of trolls.

"We came from the troll market! Princess Nuala warned us, and so we have come to help you!"

Before long, the three agents of the BPRD were joined by Princess Nuala.

"Thank you, Highness! We heard your help ..." Red said.

"You're welcome ... I'm just stepped in at the right time!" said the Princess of complicity glancing at Liz, who, seeing the questioning look of his beloved demon laughed softly.

"How is Selene, Highness?" asked Red.

The look of Princess frowned: " She is with my brother and Abraham ...". She couldn't say anything else.

The agents ran to Nuada, who kept Selene in his arms. Her complexion was cadaverous, her body cold and breathing hurt.

Seeing reach her teammates, Abe met them and said, "She lost a lot of blood. She needs transfusions, but do not know if she will ...".

At that moment they were all taken by a deep sadness, in particular the princess, who felt deep in all the pain of her brother: he who, a step away from happiness, was losing in this way.

Selene opened her eyes for a moment: she felt very bad, she was cold, and with the exception of strong arms that held her up, nothing needed to give her warmth. She saw that to hold her was the Prince.

"N. .. Nua ... da ..." she sighed, while brushing his cheek with her hand.

"Selene! You're Still awake! Now listen: you must not fall asleep, do you understand? ...Stay awake! Stay Awake!"

Unfortunately she could not keep her eyes open, something dragged her into the darkness, into a soft, warm oblivion, that everything takes and nothing gives back. Her vision blurred and she fell asleep, while Nuada was holding her face with both hands, shouting her name.
