Team Shaun - A few minutes ago....
With Shaun ultimately disappearing as he did, Angelus looked around and gave a nod of satisfaction; and then looked to the little group;
"I'm going to help get rid of Tomoya. Gods knows that fool needs me. I trust all of you will all will be well? Come or go as you please, but keep your ears open in case anything funny happens."
After hearing confrimations from whomever cared to give them, the dragon gave the group a tired smile, and ran off....
As she left, Teri looked back to her comrade and said, [color=0E59E4]
Code:
"You know, I never thanked you for poofing in the gear. I know Shaun didn't do it, so it had to be you... Thanks, Devon. You really helped out there."

Giving Devon a smile, Teri hid the fact that she was actually quite worried about her fellow Author. He looked... Off, somehow; and she couldn't put her finger on it. She'd have to keep an eye on him, just in case something went terribly wrong...
Team Tomoya
After Fionn's outburst, Slindis's wave of energy and Tajuhs' swarm of slices; Caim and the kids remembered that they were in on this battle (as well as collecting their jaws from the floor), and resumed their attack on the Dark half of Tomoya, Caim following close in tandem with them. Ton Ton must have picked up a trick or two watching the Swordsman (or seeing memories of him in Cadolbolg's mind, whichever), as he was switching between hopping on and off Cadolbolg as he got minute stabs in on the Dark Angel, giving Caim enough time to get a slash in; as well as the occasional fire blast from Cadolbolg. However, one of the arms on Dark Tomoya's back wised up to the trick, grabbing the Cuties in mid-air and throwing them
hard against the floor; inciting a cry of pain from both of the Cuties as the dark arms started trying to crush them against said floor. As a caged animal, the Dark Tomoya was willing to pull out any stops before being wiped from existence.
The warrior, feeling his rage rise in him again, was about to ready his blade to strike; but felt himself thrown back by another extra hand shoving him back with an equal amount of force in the gut. Rage had left him open; and he had paid for it in that moment. Skidding on the floor; Caim silently groaned as he got up; and felt a familiar voice in his mind as he did so;
"Haven't I told you before? You always leave yourself open when you get angry."
Caim whirled around in confusion, and saw his pact partner advancing towards him. Before he could even comment on how she got there, a pained voice filled the air,
[color=15650D]"E-e-ever-yone's... G-grudge!"[/color]
and a multitude of dark shadows began whirling around Dark Tomoya; piercing him and inciting an unholy scream from that thing. However, unlike the other instances of the attack being used, the shadows
kept going and they didn't look like they were going to be ending any time soon. With a smile to Angelus, the dragon already knew what he was thinking. With a wave of one hand, fire began coating the blade, the other with a steadily increasing flame; and the duo began to charge; calling Cadolbolg to arms as they did. And as they charged, Cadolbolg took to the air; Ton Ton's technique unbinding the both of them, and breathed deep; pooling the reservoir of his energies into this one blast... Now to time it for-
Caim and Angelus reached their goal, pushing their blade/flames forward in an ingenious fusion of fire and blade; sending a sonic blast coated in dragonfire straight through the Demon like a knife through butter. Taking a step back from what Angelus and Cadolbolg had planned after that, Caim watched as his 'son' and his pact partner unleashed a baptism of fire on the creature; Angelus' stored magical energies from the fight with Shaun melding with the blast that Cadolbolg had built up waiting for the duo to arrive.
However, even when the flames died, and the screams continued (you know, Karma was still coming back like a ***** at that moment), Caim couldn't help but contemplate what was keeping the dark creature alive...
