"You have a special duty, Ike," Darien stared at her unflinching. "You stay up here. If I get my ass beat again, you are to swoop in and carry the both of us into the plant. Speaking of, make sure it's nice and hungry. He'll probably come chasing after me and get caught in it, but before that I wish to fight him fairly. I won't run away this time. Not when it means putting all we've worked so hard to accomplish in danger."

He finished strapping on his armor, gesturing to Ike to help him with the bits in the back. The breastplate was a little heavier than what he was used to, but against a heavier weapon he needed the extra protection. "Okay. In my lab, there's a control panel overlooking the plant. I want you to turn on the sprinklers and turn up the temperature control. I want it hot and humid in there for maximum activity. Me...I have a date with destiny." He gave Ike a smooch on the cheek and a stroke of her wings before walking off with a purpose.

Gary finally smashed down the door and looked around angrily, easily hopping the impromptu barricade before being met by the same man as before. "So, this is where you live? I will enjoy making it the place where you die as well. Consorting with demons...I cannot allow such iniquity to flourish!"

"Funny. I can't allow someone to come in my house and wreck my shit. You're no better than I am right now. Let's end this. Not as good versus evil, but as man versus man." The two circled each other, blades held at the ready and watching for a move from the other.
