The Wastelands, Saturday evening Fandom Standard Time [NFB]

[demonbelthazor]

With the powers he'd gained from vanquished demons, Bel was able to fight back against the Beast. But even with those powers, he was still tired and once again wondering why he was struggling so hard to survive. He was trapped here for eternity, and he didn't want to spend that time running for his life.

Aziraphale was just starting to think that he really should try to get that piece of tongue from around his waist when he heard Nadia's call for help. Bolting off in her direction, he slid to a halt and swung the sword in the same motion, slicing toward the tentacle that was wrapped around her wrist.

"Phoebe!" Anders came after the tongue with his baseball bat, swearing -- and wincing when he realized it hurt to swing. He thought he got in one or two good whacks before a sharp lance of pain made him drop the bat again.

This tongue fell for the same trick, letting go of Blair and hurrying after the fireball so it could gulp it down. Then once it had swallowed it, it turned its attention back to Alanna and Blair.

Owfuck!

Wilson's torso took most of the blow across the rock, which at least meant he remained conscious. Bad news, it winded the hell out of him and he tumbled hard to the sand, still in the damn things grip and woefully out of tricks.

[blessed_twice]

Another tongue slitered up behind Anders, and as soon as he stopped swinging, it lashed out at his face, smacking him across the jaw.

Nadia stared in shock as the tongue and her hand were lopped neatly off.

". . . hand. . . ."

Alanna grinned and tossed another fireball for the tongue to go after. "Blair? Get behind me. Now."

Blair frowned at Alanna. "You know, I was mostly doing okay before on my own. No need to get all cavewoman on me."

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, that's why you were screaming for help." Alanna grabbed Blair by the collar and shoved him vaguely behind herself and waited for the tongue to come back.

[a-phale.livejournal.com]

Oops.

Aziraphale looked down at the hand, eyes widening. "Oh my dear, I am so sorry." He reached down and picked it up, then felt a strange sort of pulling sensation.

Quickly looking back at Nadia, he realized that she was fading away, just as he felt himself begin to disincorporate once more.

"Bugger."

[demonbelthazor]

Bel looked guiltily at Anders as he got hit. Then he grabbed hold of Phoebe. "Phoebe, please, get out of here!" he said. "I can't lose you like this!"

And that was when he, Phoebe, Anders, and Bridge's unconscious body disappeared from the Wastelands.

Blair flopped backwards onto the sand and glared up at Alanna. "It was more of an alert system. Kind of like 'ooh, look at this giant teethy mouth over here, don't you want to come see?' sort of thing"

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna ignored Blair and waited for the tongue to remember them.

[blessed_twice]

The tongue really liked the taste of Alanna's magic and wanted a whole lot more. It sped towards her.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Alanna braced herself once more, sword in front.

[blessed_twice]

The tongue tried to avoid the sword this time and loop around Alanna's legs.

[blessed_twice]

The tongue started to drag Wilson back towards the gaping maw.

Was it ever unhappy when Wilson faded out and disappeared.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

"Oh come on!" Alanna kicked at the tongue.

[blessed_twice]

The tongue tried to jerk Alanna off her feet, intending to drag her into the gaping maw.

[threeweapons.livejournal.com]

Which would be when Alanna got sucked back into her body.
