demonbelthazor | Western Fandom Island, Friday night

After a trek to the western portion of Fandom Island, Our Heroes reached the entrance to some old sea caverns. There were several tunnels heading off in different directions. Bel was fairly certain which one led to his mother; she was really making no attempt to hide. But there were other demons lying in wait down the side tunnels as well, and they couldn't afford to have them come up behind them.

"Okay," Bel said, trying to be all leader-like. "Group one is Cam, Molly, and Alanna. You take the tunnel on the far left. Group two is Bridge, Isabel, Walter and Camulus. You take the tunnel to the near left. Group three takes the right hand tunnel and is John, Ivanova, Pip and Pippi. Angel, Piper, Paige, and I are going down the middle. We'll meet up back here. Is everyone all set?"

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?

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."

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.

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.

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.

Isabel is starting to regret she hasn't had a chance to practice with Anakin. It takes a little more concentration, but this time pieces of tunnel debris go flying towards the demon.

The demon is knocked back and slams into the side of the tunnel. She fights through the rubble, but she's obviously hurt.

"Is that all you have little girl? I'll make sure to tell the witch you died bravely."

She summons an athame and throws it at Isabel.

Walter snatches the athame out of the air with a flurry of wire and gives a sharp jerk, sending the dagger flying in harmless pieces away from the others.

"Is that all?"

"Bitch," Isabel muttered as she held out her hand and tried to visualize the demon shattering like the crayon.

The demon looked surprised and then looked at the four.

"She'll be dead before you get to her," she said before she exploded into tiny particles of Fauxbe demon.

"Wow," Isabel said, slightly surprised. "It worked."

From:

"Remind me not to throw knives at you," Walter said respectfully.

Camulus straightened, sheathing his sword. His eyes flared again as they narrowed. "Impressive, nighean bheag," he muttered. "Taking the form of Phoebe . . . Inexcusable."

Rage. This would be rage on his face right now.

From:

izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com

"She pissed me off," Isabel said with a shrug. And then she looked around the tunnel, "I suppose finding Phoebe isn't going to be so simple after all."

From:

bridge-carson.livejournal.com

"When is it ever?" Bridge says, and starts moving forward again. *This* time, he'll be more careful, damnit.

From:

godinakilt.livejournal.com

"Be careful, boy," Camulus growled, completely unnecessarily, as he padded down the tunnel behind Bridge, a throwing knife in one hand and the other out to blast anything coming towards them.

From:

walter-n-wires.livejournal.com

Walter followed silently behind Camulus. Really, a cigarette would have been perfect right about then, but he didn't think the others would approve.

Isabel stayed to the back, still a bit surprised at what she'd done and with no desire to repeat it.

Suddenly an ugly snarling demon appeared in front of them. Her hand flew put and an energy ball crackling with electricity went zooming towards Camulus' chest before the demon shimmered out of sight.

From:

godinakilt.livejournal.com

The ribbon device came up to ward off the attack, slightly too slowly and the energy ball hit his hand. The jewel crackled and smoked, and Camulus hissed as his hand burned. His other hand was already moving, a knife zooming through where the demon had been, clattering harmlessly against the rock wall.

"Dammit," he growled, looking at the charred ribbon device. "This thing is useless now."

From:

izzyalienqueen.livejournal.com

"Is your hand okay?" Isabel asked.

From:

godinakilt.livejournal.com

"Fine, fine," he growled, flexing it around the jewel a few times. Remember the creepy wee Nazi from 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'? His hand looked like that. "It'll heal soon enough. Luckily it's only my left. I can kill that thing even it had blown it off entirely."
