Angelus nodded at Hiryu's request, and grumbled about how Caim was the only one to command her, if at all, before he left, she gave a small thanks for Blade the Treecko; and started watch. All was calm for a few moments, then there was a screech. In a few moments, a metal bird appeared:
(Just imagine there is blue there instead of red)
The bird roared a challenge to Caim, who began to wander about outside of the ship
"You have used me for far too long, human! Prove yourself worthy of me again!"
Caim looked at the Skarmory with confusion and asked,
"What?"
The Skarmory screeched the same challenge, and charged at Caim. Angelus flew past Caim, and held the Skarmory back with her claws,
"BACK OFF, SWORD! YOU WILL NOT TOUCH HIM WHILST I STAND!"
For the first moments in a long time, Caim felt fear. Here he was, weaponless, armorless and completely unable to do anything. This was unlike him, and Caim didn't know what to do. He shrunk back a little, and stopped. The dragon was trying to protect him, he needed to help her!
Caim cleared his throat for a moment, and yelled,
"Get him, Angelus! Show him who's the boss! Start out with a Fire Blast!"
Angelus laughed with frevor and knocked the Skarmory back with her arms. She reared her head back and blew a stream of fire which encircled the bird and then exploded from it in a star-shape. The Skarmory wobbled a little after the assault, and Angelus grinned,
"Not so tough now, are you? Flee! Or else I'll make you regret your existence!
The Skarmory winced, knocked sand into Angelus' eyes (Sand Attack) and ran off.
