demonbelthazor | Confronting the Source

"We're not here to discuss pleasantries," Paige interjected, stepping between the two men. "We're here to take our sister home."

"I can't allow that," the Source said. "She's my Queen. And she's staying right here with me."

Piper gave the Source a death glare. "Like hell she is staying here with you."

"You so sure she's the queen in this relationship?" Angel added. Because he was mature like that.

"You're the one with the houseboy," the Source snapped.

"Oh for Pete's sake. Why don't you both just whip them out and compare. Settle this who's bigger thing once and for all," Isabel said sarcastically.

Angel put his hand on the hilt of his sword.

The metal one.

"I'll show you mine if you show me yours."

The Source conjured up his blade. "I prefer fire, but for you, I'll make an exception."

"I'm touched," Angel replied, then went in for the attack, aiming for the Source's neck.

The Source raised his sword to parry the strike, then casually tossed a fireball at the people behind him.

Mel was already moving forward when she saw the fireball coming at the group. In a combination of instinct and "Oh shit! Fireball!" Mel raised up her scythe and closed her eyes only to have the fireball bounce off the scythe and dissapate.

"Holy shit! Did you see that?!" Mel exclaimed. "Rocketship! Batter frakking up!"

Isabel lowered the hand she'd raised when the fireball came at them. "Neat trick." She eyed the torches and thought about flinging one towards the Source but she was leery of doing that with Angel so close.

Meanwhile, Wyatt was attempting to stealthily sneak behind the Source and Phoebe, laying out a circle of magic crystals. Now they just had to get Belthazor into the trap.

Angel, in the meanwhile, kept his focus on the Source, going to parry and then try to strike again, this time to the stomach.

The Source moved backwards, dodging the blow. Then he disappeared in a burst of flames, reappearing behind the group, taking a wide swing at Piper.

Piper quickly jumped out of the way before throwing her hands out toward the Source in an attempt to blow him up.

And that would be the Source, exploding into a buzzing cloud of black particles.

Angel rolled his eyes. "Now this is just annoying."

Bel reformed. "Ouch," he said angrily, conjuring a pair of fireballs, throwing one at Angel, one at Jo.

"Eep!" Jo yelped and leapt out of the way of the fireball. Great if Bel didn't kill her, Mom would after she heard about this.

Angel ducked down and ratcheted a stake into his hand. He threw it at the Source, knowing it wouldn't kill him but hoping it'd distract him.

And this would be Isabel waving her hand and sending one of the torches from the wall flying towards the Source.

The Source moved to avoid the stake, then had to dance backwards even more to get out of the way of the torch. His steps took him close to the edges of the crystal circle. But he wasn't about to appear that he was in any way pressed. "Hey, Alanna," he called out with an air of unconcern. "How's the cat?"

"Just great." Alanna gritted out and slashed out with Lightning at Bel's torso. She also threw a small purple energy ball at Bel with her other hand.

Bel spun backwards as the energy ball struck him. "That all you got?" he said through clenched teeth.
