FIFTEEN

Shield grabbed another one of the dwindling tables and slung it at all of them. Tilly raised her hands, forming force fields before her and darting to stand in front of Alison. The table slammed into her, sending the girl skidding back, but failed to pass through her defenses.

Angel sprinted at Shield, dropping to his back and sliding across the ice beneath him. He grabbed the man’s ankle on the way, siphoning some energy from him.

Shield stomped the ground, knocking Angel into the air and shaking the Buried God. With a roar, Shield swatted Angel like a fly. He rocketed across the room for the second time and slammed into the wall.

Blinding pain seared through Angel’s body as he crumpled to the ground. If it weren’t for the levels he’d gained in the desert on the way over, he would probably have already been dead. His arms and legs popped as magic tried to knit him back together, but the world started to waver in his darkening vision.

He dimly heard the sounds of battle from around him. Magic hissed and tore across the room, and periodic rumbles shook the ground beneath him. One of his legs snapped back to its proper position, and he bit back a curse.

The darkness faded enough for Angel to push himself up into a seated position. Only a few seconds had passed since he’d fallen, but it felt like it had been minutes. Tilly stood before him, energy swirling around her hands as she blocked a thrown table from slamming into both of them.

Alison stood across from Shield, blasting bolt after bolt of fire and lightning into the man. It didn’t seem to be doing much damage, but he was swinging blindly, and Alison was just barely managing to stay out of his reach.

With a snarl, Angel pushed himself upright. A rip popped in his chest, and he nearly fainted, but he managed to keep his wits about him.

“Help Alison,” Angel gasped. “I’ll be fine.”

Tilly nodded and darted at Shield. Angel clenched his fists, verifying that none of his Magitech had been damaged, and hobbled after her. His other leg fixed the major injuries a moment later, letting him gingerly put weight on it.

He slotted new spells into his gauntlet, then raised it once more and took aim. It started to hum, the plates lifting away as energy flared within it.

“Use the energy that we absorbed from Shield,” Angel instructed out loud. The Star Fragment couldn’t respond without Blue, but he didn’t need it to.

Heat traced through his body, coiling around his chest and running down his arm. The scars covering his chest and arm lit purple, and coils of magic twisted around him, growing in intensity.

A magenta bolt of lightning erupted from his palm, roaring across the room and striking Shield with a brilliant crash. The magic blew a huge chunk out of the man’s seemingly impenetrable flesh and slammed him into the wall. It held him there like a giant hand, pouring violent energy into his body for several seconds before it finally dissipated.
