"NO WAY! This is MY FIGHT! I have NEVER been EVER ANGRIER IN MY LIFE! SOMEONE'S TRYING TO SAVE ME NOW! NO! I REFUSE to ACCEPT HELP from a STRANGER! And BESIDES! How do I know that weird griffin thingy isn't my enemy either? I'm not afraid of some overweight of a croco lion hippo thingy, it may look scary, but it might not be as strong as it looks..." Ace lied at the last part. He knew this thing was strong. He didn't even know why he wanted to fight it, but he didn't ever want to back down on a fight. Especially not one with his life on the line.
He glared at Ammut angrily, ready to charge or dodge anytime. He was angrier than before, because someone had tried to SAVE him. "So... than... fatty..."
If Willow would be dead, Alpes might stop and just go back and mourn for the girl, then Ammut had the free hunt, no one would really disturb her. But she might also be wrong. Alpes could open the hunt on her, but that risk, she would take, he wouldn't be strong enough anyway to defeat her. She could kill Alpes, and she would whenever she had the chance.
As she forced her legs backwards and stretched her front legs she jumped over Ace easily, he wouldn't even be able to touch her. She landed swiftly on all four paws and continued to to run into the direction of Willow. Jaws open as to quickly snap it when she touched the skin of Willow, teeth showing, eyes hungry for flesh, for human flesh, and for human hearts she so longed for.
Things were happening so fast, one second the giant crocodile thingy was hunting him and the next he was going after Ace who wasn't helping his cause and actually rendering the situation even worse by taunting the obviously pissed off creature. The girl that had been riding on the back of the griffin started yelling at the bird to help the boy and not her, Luca felt a little sorry for the bird. . . oddly. . .
Since Luca had all of his courage and guts stuck in his throat he just stood there watching all the action go by but he was safe because Kitty had pulled him up into the sky and the second he was above the whole scene he found his way back to speeking.
"Kitty!" Luca choked out a yelp of despair, "Why did you help me? What are we going to do about Ace?"
He was glad that Kitty had saved his sorry ass but now he hoped he could do something to aid Ace and the others.
Alpes the Griffin
Alpes had just gotten out of Ammut's reach when Willow slid off his back and started scolding him for not helping Ace. Alpes didn't know if he had to protest against Willow's scolding or just obediently listen to her, but Ammut was a dangerous predator with no mercy so he was going to have to be prudent and fast. He pushed Willow aside and then placed himself in front of her like a mother wolf would do to protect her cubs.
"I'll do something, but you stay here and try to not attract too much attention," he said softly and started to leave but then turned his head to stare at Willow, "Please."
"I'm not afraid of some overweight of a croco lion hippo thingy, it may look scary, but it might not be as strong as it looks..." that boy was looking for trouble, "So... than... fatty..."
Alpes was a few feet away from Ace keeping an eye on Ammut and Ace, "Hey, kid, for once in your life think about your own safty and not your loud mouth because this big creature is not the one you want to pick on."
Alpes took one step forward and knew that if he had the chance to do what he was planning he wouldn't hesitate.
Ammut turned around and looked at Ace. She walked towards him, slow, but ready to jump at him and grab his tiny head to break it. Her jaws open, her eyes full of hatred and hunger. She was going to eat, even if it was Alpes, she was going to eat someone in the room.
She looked up at Kitty and Luca. Luca had seemed like a good snack, then followed by the main meal of Ace and as a desert it would be Willow. But, Luca was out of reach, so she would go for main course first and see if she could get the snack later. She looked at Ace and made speed, jaws opening further, he wasn't going to escape now. She jumped and lunged for the boy.

Ace didn't know what to do. All of a sudden, Ammut was charging at him, and she jumped, Ace switched personalities at the wrong moment. Ace had no idea what to do. He did the only logical thing to do. Turn and run, screaming his head off.
Willow blinked in surprise. Did that just sound like Alpes cared whether or not she got hurt? But he barely knew her. Slowly, she nodded her head. Without a word, she ducked behind a table, watching events unfold. Ammut seemed focused on her prey, which was now that odd boy who had shouted at the creature. Biting her bottom lip hard, she kept her gaze on Ace who was now running away. Well, he was certainly weird. Frowning, she looked up quickly at the flying cat thing and the boy she held in her gaze and then back down to the chase. She couldn't just sit him could she?
Shooting Alpes an apologetic look, she dove from her hiding place and towards Ammut. Catching up with her, she reached out her hands and grabbed the scaly tail that swished furiously. Holding on as tight as she could, she pulled, intending to at least slow her down or get her attention. When she dropped the tail, she backed up a few steps, eyes wide as she waited for what would happen next.
''You dare to grab my tail and slow me down? Didn't you listen to your little pet Alpes?'' she growled, stepping towards Willow as Willow stepped back. She narrowed her eyes. Her tail swished furiously, and she stood a bit taller so she looked bigger. She opened her jaws and lunged forward for the girl.

Ace, being on his good side still, saw that the girl had grabbed Ammut's tail. Ace realized it was now the girl who was in danger. "You dare to grab my tail and slow me down? Didn't you listen to your little pet Alpes?" Ammut growled. She opened her jaws and lunged forward for the girl. Ace saw this coming. He had the craziest idea, he jumped on top of alps and grabbed her neck area that was right after the mane. Ace's face was now stuck in some hair, but he had a firm grip on the scaly part of his head.
"Oh great, now what am I going to do?" he realized that the girl had freed Ammut's tail, so with one whip, he would be down on the ground. But hopefully Ammut was all brawn and not brains. But Ace highly doubted it.

Alpes the Griffin
Ammut had been faster than him to action, she pounced for Ace but Ace had done the smart yet not so intelligent lookin gthing, he ran for it but Ammut kept going after him like a blood thirsty monster whihc was pretty much her whole mentality. Before Alpes could spread his wings and fly ontop of Ammut to stop her from devouring the boy Willow did the very stupid thing and grabbed Ammut's tail. Since Ammut changed targets from Ace to Willow Ace jumped onto Ammut so that she couldn't eat Willow, but now Alpes wasn't going to let anything else happen to Willow. He ran at twice the speed of a cheetah and slid sideways so that he could grab Willow with his talon and push her away from Ammut.
"I love how humans never listen to what we ask them nicely to do," he scolded Willow, "now it's between you and me Ammut."
He grabbed Ammut's tail in his beak and closed down on it tightly then lifted both talons up so that he could jabb them into Ammut's thick hippo skin but he first through of warning Ace, not that he cared for his safety but Willow didn't want anything bad happening to him so he didn't have a choice.
"Kid, let go of the big angry hippo and go join Willow!"
He didn't have the time to make sure if Ace had listened to him, he had to get his talons into Ammut before she could move away.
Luca Valliat
In a way, luca was very happy that he was down on the ground because he didn't want to have to face the danger of being chased by. . . that's right! Ammut! She's the beast that lied down next to the judgement scale in the Judgement Room of the afterlife in Egyptian mythology. Luca remembered his teacher talking about it in history class. Ammut was the monster that ate the hearts that weighed more that the feather of truth on the other side of the scale, but that meant that if this was the same Ammut than the only person she trully obeyed to was Osiris the ruler of the living and the dead.
Luca watched the struggle between Ace and Willow and Alpes and knew that he had to try what he had in mind even if it didn't work maybe it could atleast give the griffin enough time to get Ace and Willow away.
"Osiris! I invoke the god of the living and the dead, Osiris!" Luca yelled as if he hoped the god would appear in front of him or something.

"Kid, let go of the big angry hippo and go join Willow!"
Ace looked at the big griffin, he was here to help, and so Ace would accept it. He jumped off Ammut's back as the griffin clawed into Ammut's skin. He grabbed Willow's hand, and told her, "Come on, let's go!" and dragged her over to Luca, and pulled the kid and the girl hopefully somewhere else that was safe. Ace wasn't just caring about his own life (remember he's still on his good side) he wanted to help the griffin, it pained him to leave, but the griffin didn't want anyone to die, so Ace respected that and tried helping out.
Then the boy was there, snatching up her head and tugging her away from the fight. He'd definitely changed his tune now. But she went willingly with him, retreating to a safe distance from Ammut and Alpes, but still so they could see how the battle panned out.
"Thank you," Gasped Willow, glancing at him for a mere second. "You saved my life back there."
"Now walk through that door over there before I change my mind and join in with the killing." And with that he walked away from this group and started to float towards the neko and human, extending his illusion also to them and copying them again. "Yes, yes you didn't know I was here now go through the door while you can." Despite his trickster ways he hated having to explain himself more than once, he could hace done the whole room but there was more chance creatures like Alpes abd Ammut would realise something was amiss and tgat would ruin his entire plan. Now that he had warned all the humans he supposed he would have to warn the griffin as well, he casually strolled towards the fighting beasts and leap frogged his way onto the griffins back removing some of his illusion so Alpes could hear him as he whispered to his head (he didn't know where a griffins esrs where so he safely assumed the head) "Now listen you over grown chicken the humans are now safe but you'll have to go against all your pride and instinct and trust a complete lunatic." He couldn't help but to release a loud laugh at himself and did so for seceral miments before pulling himself back together. "Now in a few moments I want you to retreat through that back door there, see? The humans will be in there despite what you may see." After teling him that Jester jumped back off the griffin and skiped his way to the door.
"Now don't bother trying to talk to any of these nunptues for the mean time they're under an illusion were they can't hear or see you except your dopplegangers. Now walk through that door over there before I change my mind and join in with the killing." Ace completely didn't know how to react. What is this nonsense?! What the hell is going on here? another person joined the group? "Yes, yes you didn't know I was here now go through the door while you can." Ace didn't know whether or not to accept this... now go through the door. Whatever. Ace indicated for Willow and Luca to come, he switched personalities again... and slammed the medieval door open with his foot, into a great... big... dinning room with gigantic windows illuminating the tables.

"Alpes!" She shouted over and over, but to no avail. They were cut off. Slowly, she turned back to the skeleton-creature, with a slight glance at Ace. They were trapped and there was nothing they could do about it. When instructed, she didn't move for a second, until Ace started forwards. Hesitantly, she followed him, though she didn't take her eyes off the creature as it spoke to Luca and Kitty as well. The door was kicked open and they were inside a large Hall. Blinking in surprise, Willow started forwards.

Ammut pinned the girl down and growled. She could see the fear in the girl's eyes, which made it only better. She opened her jaws and feasted on the girl.
His use of the name Osiris had absolutely no effect and now he felt more embarrassed than anything else, he wished so badly that it could have helped but then something happened. Everyone disappeared, the girl Willow and the guy Ace. . . they had vanished into thin air.
Maybe Osiris actually exists and helped me! Thought Luca with so much hope.
Then a freaky clown appeared next to Luca and Kitty who was still holding onto him. Luca almost called out for his mother, if there was anything Luca feared it was when people just popped up next to him and even worse when it was a skull faced joker. . . who spoke, "Yes, yes you didn't know I was here now go through the door while you can."
Luca was more lost than ever but he poked Kitty hoping that she would do something because he had no idea what to do except to get far away from the very creepy lunatic joker.
"Kitty, I think we should listen to. . . um. . ." Luca didn't know how to call him and he wasn't going to know right away because the clown left in long gazelle strides until he landed on the Griffin's back.
Alpes the Griffin
Alpes dug his claws into Ammuts flesh and held on tight until he was flung away by the massif and angry beast. Ammut glared around searching for prey but everyone had disappeared and Alpes had a bad feeling about who made them disappear so suddenly.
Please, not him, pleaded Aples.
"Now listen you over grown chicken the humans are now safe but you'll have to go against all your pride and instinct and trust a complete lunatic," it was him, Jester, "Now in a few moments I want you to retreat through that back door there, see? The humans will be in there despite what you may see."
Alpes knew that Jester was a complete deranged case but he also knew that he didn't really have another choice but to trust him and he couldn't think about it too much because now was his only chance. Ammut had decided to feast on a girl with flowers in her hair, she hadn't been careful and hadn't tried to hide. . . she was Ammut's first meal. . . Aples didn't want to know who was going to be the next.
