The Mighty Belthazor

"I'll take lead," Bridge says, heading in to the tunnel on the left. "That way I can let you guys know of any trouble before *they* see *us,"

From:

Camulus growled, drawing the biggest, shiniest, and sharpest of his swords. "You're a scout then?" he grumbled, only the boy's confidence keeping him from stomping past himself. He was grumpy and growly and something in there had his First Prime.

From:

Isabel hung back, a bit worried that she'd gotten herself in over her head. This wasn't like facing down the FBI with Max and Michael. But still, Bel was a friend, she'd do what she could.

"Anyone here fought demons before? My specialty's more vampires." Walter moved a bit forward. The wires weren't going to do him any good if he couldn't use them for fear of decaptitating one of the others.

From:

"Just vampires, here. Unless sim-training counts," Bridge says, reaching out to see if he could sense any demons as he moved forward.

From:

Camulus smirked, his eyes flaring. "Just humans have fallen to my sword." He paused. "And the occasional zombie."

From:

"The closest I've come is a raid on an FBI lab to get my brother back," Isabel said. "It didn't end well for the FBI." She didn't add that that was largely due to Michael and Nasedo.

"Okay then." He was more amused than he had any right to be given the circumstances. "What are you [Isabel] and Bridge going to do in a fight? I see the big sword on that one." ~~Not dirty!~~

From:

"I've got training in a few different martial arts styles- both Earth and Sirian. Not to mention, it's sort of hard to hit the guy who can see your move before you make it." He stops and narrows his eyes. "Speaking of... watch out ahead. I'm picking up traces of something not human."

There's a low growl and then the unmistakeable scream of a young girl in pain. Something starts moving fast towards the group and there's another scream. Something stumbles out of the shadows.

It's Phoebe. She's battered and a little bloody and she looks absolutely terrified. She's looking over her shoulder as she comes out and she falls to her knees, skidding slightly.

From:

"Phoebe!" Camulus pushed past Bridge, reaching for the girl automatically. "A ghraidh, what happened? Are you alright?"

From:

Mentally Isabel breathed a sigh of relief. They'd found her without anyone getting hurt. "Phoebe, are you alright?" she asked as she stepped forward.

From:

That was it? Walter was rather disappointed. But wait, there had been something chasing her; they still had a chance for fun. He focused behind the reunion on the tunnel from which Phoebe had emerged.

From:

Phoebe is looking around at everybody a little fearfully. "They.. she was going to cut pieces of me off and send to Belthazor."

From:

"Tha sin ceirt, a ghraidh," Camulus murmured, reaching out to pat her on the shoulder. "Bidh sin ceirt an drasda."

Don't ask why he reverted to Gaelic.

From:

As Isabel looked at Phoebe she realized she looked scared but otherwise unharmed. Bel would be happy about that at least, despite the reasons for the kidnapping in the first place. Belthazor? But Phoebe called him Cole, she remembered. Isabel stepped back towards Bridge. "Something isn't right."

From:

Phoebe stared in confusion at Camulus, and responded in English.

"We have to go. They're chasing me." Her eyes started welling with tears.

From:

Bridge frowns thoughtfully as Isabel's words sink in.

He turns towards Phoebe and scans her.

"That's not Phoebe. It's a demon," he says.

Stupid, stupid, stupid, he berates himself, dropping into a fighting stance. How could you forget to check?

From:

The demon shoved away from Camulus and backs away, showing teeth.

"Did you really think that we'd let you get to the little witch? Elishavera has plans for her."

From:

Crap! So much for things being easy. Isabel looked around the tunnel for anything to use as a weapon, finally settling on a large rock. A wave of her hand and it went flying towards the demon's head.

From:

The demon? Not too smart, but fast. She grabs the rock and sends it flying at the head of the one who seemed to have the strongest ties to the witch.

The big guy.

From:

With a snarl, Camulus's hand came up and the ribbon device blasted the rock in the opposite direction, bouncing and clattering off the far wall. His sword was in his hand, but he couldn't bring himself to use it on the demon. Instead, he brought the device to bear on the demon.

"Where is she?" he roared, his fingers flaring out and the jewel glowing.
