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.

"Anders!" Phoebe cried out, then looked around to see where the baseball bat had landed. When she didn't see it close enough, she planted her feet and raised her hands in one of the fighting stances she had learned. She hoped that someone would get Anders on his feet while she was between him and the tongue. She really wanted to just get Cole and get the rest of them out of here.

Cole grabbed Phoebe's arm. "Dammit, Phoebe, get out of here!" he said. "This place is too dangerous, just look!" He looked around at where the others were getting attacked. "You're all going to die. The Beast won't give up, ever!"

Phoebe levelled her gaze on her boyfriend. "We are not leaving here without you, Cole. We all came willingly to get you out of here and bring you home to us." She pulled her arm gently out of his hand. "I'm not losing you again," she said softly. She turned to look at the tongues again. "I can get you out of here."

Anders struggled to his feet, retrieved his baseball bat, and limped up toward Phoebe and Bel. "Face it, man," he said. "We can be just as frakking stubborn as you sometimes, okay? So shut the frak up and stop arguing, 'cause you're coming back with us."

Phoebe looked at their friends and then she looked at Cole. "Trust me."

She closedher eyes for a moment as she recalled the spell.

" In this night and in this hour
I call upon the ancient power
Cole will follow when we return
Because we are smarter than Brad Kern
So his spirit we no longer mourn
Soul to soul, I bind thee.
Soul to soul, return with me."

Oooh, magic. That really got the tongue's attention. It lunged at Phoebe and wrapped around her, knocking her down.

Phoebe cursed as the tongue wrapped around her. When she felt herself hit the ground, she cried out in pain. This was going to leave such a bad memory.

"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.

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

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.
