Lu killed a couple of measly demons that thought they would try and attack her. She was delighted to see that Ariel had managed to hurt himself once more. That boy seemed to be a magnet for self destruction, not that she minded in the least bit. When she was done killing the last of the demons advancing on her, she looked back to see Samuel advancing on her once again. Really that man needed to get more hobbies.

"Man, no matter how many times I look at your fucked up face, I can never get used to it." A wry smile crept across his face. "Just looking at it is making me sick to my stomach, so why don't you do me a favor and just burn!" He savagely rushed at her, swinging his blazing sword down on her.

Her onyx sword went up in defense and she kicked her foot out in front of him. "No worries Pet. The feeling is most certainly mutual." Mist shot up and speared towards Samuel as Lu pulled back, breaking the block. "You're going to have to try a lot harder than that Pet. You're fighting an angel whose powers are not restricted." The mist exploded into a smoky wall and she slashed through it, aiming low rather than high. Sam continuously swung his sword down, so going up from the bottom seemed like a better approach.​

LEON VISIBLY CRINGED AT THE CONTACT. HE LOOKED UP BETWEEN SQUINTED EYES TO SEE SAMUEL HOLDING HIM. A SHARP BREATH ESCAPED HIM AS HE WAS SET AGAINST THE WALL AND HIS HEAD DROOPED TO THE SIDE. IT SEEMED LIKE RECENTLY HE WAS ALWAYS DYING. AT LEAST NOW HE COULD GO LOOKING FOR URIEL IN THE NEW LIFE. "Shit, this is bad!" SAMUEL LOOKED PANICKED. LEON MUST HAVE LOOKED EVEN WORSE THAN HE FELT, WHICH WAS PRETTY BAD. EVERYTHING STUNG FROM THE RAW TENDER SKIN AND THE VENOM COURSING THROUGH HIS VEINS WAS BURNING HIM FROM THE INSIDE OUT. IT WAS LIKE THERE WAS NO WAY TO FIGHT OFF THE BURNING SENSATION. THE FLAMES HAD SCORCHED HIS OUTSIDES AND THE VENOM WAS EATING AWAY AT HIS INSIDES.

THERE WERE HEAVY FOOTSTEPS AND A BLUR OF RED PASSED BY HIS FACE. BLUE EYES LOCKED ONTO HIS GOLDEN ONES AND HIS FACE STUNG. THE FAMILIAR TOUCH OF HANDS AGAINST HIS CHEEKS STUNG LIKE NO OTHER. HE BLINKED A FEW TIMES. THERE WAS RINGING IN HIS EARS AND HE COULDN'T QUITE MAKE OUT WHAT WAS BEING SAID. LEON TRIED TO READ THE SHAPES OF HER LIPS. SOMETHING ABOUT 'LIVE' AND 'VIN.' HUH? OH. "VINCENT," HE CHOKED OUT IN A WHISPER. SHE LOOKED APPREHENSIVE TO LEAVE, BUT SOMEONE NEEDED TO GET HIM AFTER ALL.

XATHANAEL ROSE FROM HER FEET, BUT NOT IN TIME. JUST BECAUSE SHE AND SAM WERE PREOCCUPIED WITH HIM DIDN'T MEAN TEMELUCHAS WAS GOING TO STOP. SMALL BLACK BLURS WERE HEADED THEIR WAY. HE SQUINTED HIS EYES, TRYING TO SEE MORE CLEARLY. LEON LIFTED HIS ARM AND CONTEGO STRETCHED FROM A NORMAL SIZED SHIELD TO A WALL OF GOLDEN METAL. THERE WAS A TINKING NOISE AS THE BLURS CONNECTED WITH THE SHIELD. SHE HAD TO HAVE THROWN AT LEAST A DOZEN. HIS ARM FELL AND CONTEGO WAS BACK TO BEING A PENDANT AROUND HIS NECK. XATHANAEL MADE A BREAK FOR THE DOORS AND HE WAS LEFT THERE WITH SAMUEL. "DON'T," HE STARTED WEAKLY, "DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME. JUST -- YOUR FAMILY, YOU NEED TO PROTECT THEM." THERE WAS ONLY ONE PERSON LEON WAS OF USE TO AND THAT PERSON WAS GONE.

HE HAD TO LOOK FOR URIEL. LEON COULD FIND HIS LIFE STREAM BEFORE PASSING ONTO HIS FIRST MORTAL BODY. HE WAS JUST WEIGHING THESE PEOPLE DOWN. "YOU JUST HAVE TO - TO REMEMBER THAT YOU'RE BETTER THAN YOU VIEW YOURSELF. SELF - CONTROL WILL SAVE --" HE WAS INTERRUPTED BY A COUGH, "WILL SAVE YOU."​

"SHUT UP!!" LEON TURNED AT THE SOUND OF THE VOICE. A HELLHOUND LUNGED AT HIS MOMENTARY DISTRACTION AND HE RAN CONTEGO THROUGH ITS CHEST. LEON HURRIED BACK TO HIS FEET IN TIME TO SEE SAMUEL SLAM HIS BLADE ON THE GROUND. MASSIVE PILLARS OF FIRE ROSE UP AROUND HIM AND HE SHOOK HIS HEAD. THE ANGEL OF DESTRUCTION WAS LOSING CONTROL. EVERYTHING THEY HAD BEEN WORKING ON WAS RAPIDLY GOING OUT THE WINDOW. "I DON'T CARE FOR ANYTHING YOU SAY!! ALL I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU IS YOUR CRIES OF AGONY AS YOU DIE!!"

HIS ANGER LEFT HIM VULNERABLE. LEON'S GOLDEN EYES SEARCHED FOR XATHANAEL AND IT TOOK ONLY A MOMENT TO REALIZE WHERE SHE WAS. SAMUEL WASN'T PAYING ANY ATTENTION TO HIS SURROUNDINGS. HE HAD A SERIOUS CASE OF TUNNEL - VISION AND HIS ONLY FOCUS WAS TEMELUCHAS. A DEMON WAS WEAVING IN AND OUT OF THE BLASTS OF FLAMES SHOOTING UP FROM THE GROUND HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THE MAN.

"DIE ALREADY!!"

XATHANAEL ABANDONED HER FIGHT WITH THE DEMON MAMMON AND WAS HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THE CROSS - FIRES.

"SHUT UP!!"

THIS WAS A BAD IDEA.

LEON PUSHED HIMSELF FORWARD. "HANA NO!" HE RAN AFTER HER, PUSHING THE WOMAN TO THE GROUND. UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, HE WOULD NEVER DO SOMETHING SO RUDE TO A WOMAN, BUT HE HAD TO STOP HER. CONTEGO SHIFTED INTO A SHIELD AND HE LUNGED HIMSELF BETWEEN CHIMERA AND SAMUEL. THE SNAKE HEAD SLAMMED INTO THE GOLDEN SHIELD AND HE WAS PUSHED BACK INTO THE FOUNTAINS OF FLAMES. HE WAS KNOCKED INTO SAM'S BACK AND FIRE BURNED HIS BODY.

CONTEGO SHIFTED TO A SWORD BUT HE WAS TOO WEAK TO SWING AT THE DEMON. IT DUG ITS LARGE PAWS INTO THE GROUND, PREPAIRING TO LUNGE AT HIM. THE SNAKE SHOT ITS HEAD FORWARD AGAIN, LATCHING ONTO HIS SHOULDER. ARIEL SCREAMED AND POISON SEEPED INTO HIS BODY.

THE LIFE OF A GUARDIAN WAS NEVER A REWARDING ONE. IT ALWAYS MEANT TAKING THE BLOW FOR SOMEBODY ELSE.​
