[Third Year-End]To Break Free
After a very long, and argumentative talk with his Bestie, they were finally ready. Fire made sure he had his two favorite daggers in their correct sheath, before checking over his bestie to make sure she had all the right tools as well. He was very worried about her, getting hurt and whatnot. He was afraid she would let her emotions get in the way of battle, but they could not turn back now. He had gained what he thought was proper control over his fire ability. He would not let Lucedio get him angry this time. Slow and steady wins every race or in this case a battle. He read over their combined messages once more to make sure he had everything right. The plan was risky, but he had a good feeling they could pull it off. He then turned his attention to his Bestie and her pet elephant Hippo and shot them a look, "You guys ready? It's now or never" they were nearing the place where it began and he could already feel his body tense up from anticipation. His fire however, stayed calm inside him.
Sneaky, she reminded herself as she bends light around them so as to turn them invisible. The last time she had been able to distract Lucedio successfully, but hadn't been able to move Damien, Strategy, that was the key! Pixie draws upon the source as the neared the abandoned shop and nods at what Fire says, "Let's get this over with" She then looks at him as they reached and whispers, "Let's get Lucedio out, you stay close to the shop" she looks at Hippo and nods, now! Hippo guides the light orb he'd made with his trunk and he then releases it so as to strike the entrance, a loud sound of thunder follows after the explosion at the entrance is burst open.
|| In the central room of the shop, Lucedio leaned against an old battered desk. One of his hand was next to his wand's on the desk, while the other was on the sheath that contained Damien's dagger. Slowly he dragged out the dagger from its sheath and took a look at it. For some reason, Lucedio suspected Damien of being up to something. Otherwise, there wouldn't have been those rescue attempts that he thwarted. The dagger was a strange make, a silver dagger with a gray gem. To him, these had no significance. But what surprised him the most, was that any blood that touched the dagger slunk off. He suspected that the dagger had some sort of tie-in to the rescue attempts, but he couldn't fire out. First, there was the boy. He had dealt with him significantly. Using the bricks of the hole to batter the boy's bones. Only after making the boy doubt Damien. After making the boy think, even for a that." moment, that Damien was truly the evil one. Then, there was the stranger phenomenon. Someone had snuck into the shop invisible. Lucedio thought of possible explanations, but the only ways he could think of someone being invisible were the things that would hinder the person using them. Lucedio was dragged from his thoughts at the sound of the door exploding. Something about this seemed familiar, but all of his memories left him behind as he grabbed the wand, aiming it at the door. This time he wasted no time in casting spells "Crucio" perhaps screaming would reveal the person causing havoc. But, as he couldn't possibly tell where the person was, the spell flew harmlessly past them.
Fire breathed a sigh of relief as the spell flew past them way off its mark, still invisible he dropped down into a slight crouch and slunk towards the window, keeping his eyes on Lucedio, who was still standing inside the shop. Fire quirked a brow when he noticed Hippo following him and cast a look at Pixie, before looking back at the elephant. When it gave him a look that said "don't argue" he did not bother to protest and instead stayed close by the window as Lucedio was not properly distracted yet. If he tried to break the wall now he was sure to be caught.
Pixie almost breathed a sigh of relief as Lucedio had shown up alright, but this time it seemed like he wasn't going to take chances as he had cast Crucio, it had been their luck that his aim was off as none of them had been affected, but they couldn't depend on luck like this! So, she puts up a barrier, which could only be seen by Hippo and her narrows her eyes as Lucedio was still standing there, she had to do something to distract him so she takes out her dagger from her ankle sheath and aims it to hit him in the arm her grip loose and she then throws it, looking at Bestie and Hippo quickly once, they had to get moving!
|| As the spell shot through the air, not connecting to a single person, he found himself disappointed. Could no one be there after all? While Lucedio was dealing with these questions, he felt a pain in his wand arm. His wand arm, shot up in a spasm at the pain, flinging the wand several feet back. His unharmed wand flew to his injured arm before pulling out the dagger that was embedded in his skin. He realized that he couldn't go back to get the wand without whoever being there, getting a good hit on him. Perhaps he could get the dagger easily without too much damage, or he could be sent unconscious like the last time, or worse, he could be killed. Seeing that as an understandable risk for what he was gaining, he made the dash for his wand.
Fire smiled a bit at the aim his bestie managed to accomplish. Lucedio was already injured and distracted. Quickly pulling out his wand he pointed it at the window,using a better spell this time he whispered, "Confringo" a bigger section of the wall vanished,and Fire quickly ushered Hippo inside. He slid in after the elephant after giving a nod to his bestie that he was in. The air was musty, and as dark as last time. He raised his palm and a glowing orb of blood red flames,appeared above it lighting up his and Hippo`s face as they looked around for a (hopefully) alive and breathing Damien.
Pixie, seeing him dash for his wand Pixie looks at Bestie the one last time as this was his chance, she would make sure Lucedio wouldn't get the chance to be anywhere near them, she now turns her attention to Lucedio as he dashed to get the wand and that was something they couldn't have now, she conjures up an image of herself Standing before the wand and quickly takes out her second dagger from her waist and aims it to stab him in the back, she then throws it, a smile on her face as she noticed Bestie and Hippo managed to make it in ]
|| Lucedio heard sound of the dagger flying through the air before it hit him. He was in the midst of turning around to try to see which direction to dive, when the dagger nailed him in the side nearly slicing one of his ribs. He could tell that the dagger didn't hit any of his major organs, or he'd be screaming in pain, but instead of the blinding pain of that, he got the spinning room above him before the room went dark. Right before he could pass out, he muttered a word, and he seemingly
disappeared. The only thing remaining was the long stretching shadow of the counter, and his wand.
|| The heavy sound of breathing echoed throughout the basement. Damien couldn't tell if it was his own, or from the person he saw before him. But whatever he saw, he knew the light of the outside well. He scrambled forward from the dark corner of the basement, but fell from the agonizing pain from his legs and arms. His wounds from last time had not even seemed to heal, but instead they were fresher. Renewed by the dagger Lucedio thought was the real one. Either way, with all the pain he was feeling, he would never make it to the light that promised freedom. Not even the image of Fire and Hippo standing by the light could convince him that he could leave. After all they had to be delusions, right? But still his eyes were drawn to them. They seemed so lifelike, they were... they were really there. His eyes were then drawn to Hippo, If he was there, then... "P-pixi..." his voice trailed off, to weak to speak. If Hippo was there, she had to be there as well. The had gotten his messages after all.
At the sound of Scrambling Hippo`s keen ears caught the noise and he turned his head to see a small boy, that resembled his master`s love, and trumpeted nudging Fire who spun and gasped at the sight of his best friend actually awake. When he spoke in that broken voice, Fire rushed forward his fire still burning bright, and heaved the limp Damien to his feet. He gave a slight wince when Damien let out a pained grunt,but they had no time. Gesturing Hippo over he quickly placed the massively injured, boy on Hippo`s back. He walked in front of them allowing his flames to lick up his arms. He glanced back and locked eyes with Damien`s grey ones, that seemed to slowly be filling with life again and sent him a quick grin before leading them out of the basement, and back out the window ready to defend.
Pixie gasps in horror as Lucedio's body had just disappeared, but she could control light and there was no way she was letting him get away using her own trick! She quickly goes to stand at the entrance before which she picks up his wand, her shield is strengthened as she looks around apprehensively all the while thinking about Damien. Hippo carries Damien and walks to the cellar window as Fire climbed out, he thinks Fire and him could make great partners in a fight, he now looks back to see if Pixie was anywhere near them.
Once they exited Fire stayed close to Hippo, who was carrying Damien, who was muttering, mostly gibberish like his bestie's name and something about daggers. He wasn't paying much attention as he was looking around for Lucedio. He spotted Pixie standing near the entrance, to the shop staring in what looked like anger, and frustration at a wand in her hands. Utterly confused as to why she was not doing anything he called out to her, Hippo walking beside him looking just as alert,"Hey! What happened? Where is the bastard?" they finally reached her, and Fire quickly gave up his question once his bestie locked eyes on Damien who looked back with half-lidded eyes
Pixie barely registered Bestie's question, she even forgot about Lucedio as she looks at Damien and runs to where they stood, she puts her hand on his shoulder gently and says, her voice a whisper, "Damien" she quickly shakes her head and reminds herself that Lucedio had disappeared and there was a chance he could show up again, they had to leave as quickly as possible she says, "Bestie, let's go before he shows up, he just disappeared and I'm not sure if he's here or if he has already left" She smiles at Hippo gratefully and thinks thanks buddy, knowing he would hear her thanks to their connection, she looks at Bestie now and says, "I know someone who stays not too far from here, his name is Jack, shall we go to his place?"
Fire quickly shook his head at the suggestion,"After what just happened, I don't trust anyone, but the three of you. Hang on" He pulled out his wand again and flicked it,"Accio brooms" a moment later, two nimbus 2000s whizzed into view and came to a stop in front of him. He grabbed one and tossed it to his bestie, before dragging Damien off Hippo, "You know where to go" with that said, Fire pulled Chaos onto the broom in front of him and kicked off from the ground taking off into the air knowing Pixie was close behind.
