The Mighty Belthazor

As was Paige, standing beside her sister trying to stay calm, she wasn't sure how she was ready for this, but ot was too late now.

From:

This wasn't going to be easy. As much as Bel said he wanted to be good, it was different actually facing his mother and making his betrayal of the Underworld all the more tangible. But he wasn't about to let Phoebe die -- by his hand or any others. He flexed his fingers, ready to cast a fireball as soon as it was needed.

Michael orbed in and blocked the group's path.

"Belthazor," he sneered. "Working with witches and vampires? How the mighty have fallen. I didn't believe your mother when she said you would come to rescue the pretty witch, but here you are."

From:

"Paige, stay away from him," Bel warned, recognizing Michael for what he was. "Don't let his arrows touch you." He didn't think he had to tell Angel to be careful, because the sharp wooden arrows were pretty obvious.

From:

She didn't look away from the man in front of them but she was forced to sat something, "why not? What is he?" she asked

From:

"Darklighter," Bel said grimly. "Your opposite. The arrows have a poison that will kill you with a scratch."

From:

Piper, in protective older sister mode, stood in front of Paige.

Michael laughed at the witch trying to protect her sister.

"You think that will do any good?" he asked. "You can't protect the half-breed." He cast a glance in Bel's direction. "Either of the half-breeds."

Without warning, he swung his crossbow around so it was pointing directly at the vampire and fired.

Angel moved to duck but, well, there was that whole 'without warning' thing. It'd be a darned shame for his ~~franchise~~ health if that arrow connected with a heart-type object.

From:

Piper threw her hands out, freezing the arrow before it had a chance to connect.

Angel flashed her a quick grin. "Thanks."

From:

Bel moved over and knocked the frozen arrow out of the air before it could unfreeze and continue on its path. "That all you got?" he taunted the darklighter.

Michael shot another arrow.

This one split in four as soon as it left the crossbow, one aiming at each of the people in front of him.

From:

Piper froze the arrow that was aimed directly at her, but she didn't have time to freeze the others. She watched in horror as the other arrows made their way to their targets.

From:

There's total fear in Paige's eyes as the arrow comes towards her, she has to orb to away from her, it's her only option, "arrow," she says wiliing to orb to the side of her and fall to the ground.

From:

Bel wasn't expecting an arrow to come at him. Hello, demon, arrow was pretty pointless. So he was surprised when one flew at him. He dodged to one side, but the arrow grazed his left shoulder, leaving a long bloody gash.

Angel, on the other hand, was ready. He grabbed the arrow out of the air, then immediately flung it back, pointy end first, at the demon.

Michael orbed the arrow away from himself and it clattered to the ground uselessly.

"Nice try," he sneered at the vampire.

He aimed the crossbow at the whitelighter and shot again, this arrow splitting in two, both flying at her torso.

From:

Paige froze as she saw the crowbow aimed at her, quickly she orbing an arrow towards him not noticing the second one that hit her in her stomach, she winced at the pain and cursed, she had no idea what to do. Doubting the clinic would be able to fix her she orbed herself to the only place she could think of, the Manor.

Michael wasn't expecting the half breed to orb one of the arrows back at him and he looked down in surprise when it hit him in the shoulder.

"You won't win, Belthazor," he managed before exploding in a shower of black particles.

From:

"Paige!" Piper cried frantically, fearing the worst. She couldn't help it when tears began to form. She had no idea where Paige had gone.

From:

"She probably orbed herself to the clinic, Piper," Bel said. "They can take care of her there."

From:

"But the arrow is poisonous," Piper said, trying to calm down. "Can they fix that?"
