Sasha's group was finally in reach of the appointed spot to join the others. It would be just one more floor up and then wait for or meet Jazzmin's group before retreating back into the tunnels which lead to the Guild's hideout. As Sasha lead Tex and Komino down the corridor she suddenly stopped dead in her tracks before reaching a corner. Tex almost runs into Komino when she stops before running into Sasha. The two reptiles was about to ask why she stopped but Sasha quickly put her hands over their mouths and a shout of the word silence echoed in their minds. Sasha pushed them back and then slowly moved to the corner to take a peek on the other side but the two reptiles were startled and confused at this point. Each of the two wanting to say something, to ask what saw going on and did they really hear that voice in their heads but no one did because of something the voice echoed in their minds, fifty demons in front of us. That is when Komino realized who's voice it was that she was hearing. It was Sasha's voice that the two reptiles had heard as Sasha finally revealed her telepathic powers to them for the first time. An ability that many whether it be demon or guild member are truly weary of. If used for their needs it is a great asset but when used against them is another matter entirely. Komino signaled Tex to back up as she waited for Sasha to tell her what was going on now. Tex still bothered by the "living suit" the Xanian was wearing, placed the Xanian on the ground sitting with back against the wall. Tex left him there and went to the others to get updated on the situation. That is when things started to get really.....peculiar.

The black suit the Xanian was wearing flowed up the back of his neck, over the middle of his head and down to where the metal plate was on his face like metal liquid. At first it covered his face like a blindfold but soon glowing red eyes shine through. The black metal liquid also flowed to the Xanian's lower arms covering them as well. Sasha, Komino or Tex was too focus on their situation of facing the demons soldiers that they didn't see what was happening to the Xanian. The demons came right for Sasha's team and the three knew that the only way out was through the demon soldiers and droids. The three was about to prepare for battle but something suddenly happened. The Xanian began to cry out in pain as thoughts of what had happened to him and his fellow soldiers runs out of control in his mind. He stood up using the walls to support himself and he began to feel his face.

"Wha-what's happened to me?" he mumbled as he tried to keep his balance but his voice began to grow louder.

"What did they do to me?" The tone in his voice quickly turned from confusion to anger.

The demon soldiers continued advancing toward Sasha and the others.

"Tex, grab him and come near me. Quickly we haven't much time!" Sasha ordered as she surveyed her surroundings. There was too many soldiers and there was only one thing that she can do to buy her group some time. Tex runs over to the Xanian and put the lion's arm over his neck, pulling the lion near Sasha. The Xanian was resisting him pushing Tex away not knowing that Tex was an ally and not the enemy. Komino soon helped Tex with the Xanian as Sasha used her powers to calm the Major down but for some reason the task was somewhat difficult for Sasha to do. When they all got close together Sasha quickly created a telekinetic shield preventing the demons from doing any harm but the demons were relentless. The demons surrounded them from all sides attacking the shield and each time they did Sasha grew weaker and weaker each moment.

"Well ain't ya gonna do somethin? There must be some way outta of this, isn't there?" Tex said out loud but no one replied. Sasha was using all of her strength to keep the TKshield up and if she let the shield go the demons would be right on top of them. This is something the Xanian had in mind.

"Y-y-you people. Who are you? W-w-what are you doing here?"asked the Xanian in a much lower tone to his voice.

"Well, we came to save ya but it looks like we're the ones that needs savin now." Tex replied even though he was worried as hell. It was all the Major wanted to hear.

"You. Can you make the shield bigger?" the Xanian asked Sasha.

"I.....am busy.......at the moment!" Sasha struggled to reply and she begins to lose her control over the shield.

"Can you force the shield outward to push them back?" said the Xanian sternly. He wanted her to answer. To tell him what he wanted to hear, what he hoped to hear. There was something that was urging the Xanian to lash out, a feeling that he had never felt before until this very moment. A feeling that was more instinctive than planned.

The three ran like they never ran before down the hallways trying to meet the others at the assigned place. More and more demon soldiers were now in pursuit of the three having orders from a demon commander that was called to the scene to kill them all. Tritops lead the pack charging like a rhino and ramming through everything and everyone in his path. There was no time to be subtle, it was time to get the hell out of the demon labs by any and all means the three had. This action, of course, lead to some more problems with demon soldiers not only behind them but also in front of them as well. Tritops quickly stopped in his tracks as soon as he saw the demon soldiers coming toward him and so did the two females that ran behind him. Tritops was now high on adrenalin and was ready to fight through the demon soldiers ahead but he had forgot to do one thing before rushing into battle. Something that Jazzmin immediately reminded him about as she reached out and grabbed his huge arm.

"Tritops will you put the "child" down near me before you get him killed!!" Jazzmin ordered loudly to Tritops as she pulled his arm toward her.

"Oh, uh sorry Jazzmin," said Tritops and he finally snapped into reality, "here ya go."

He quickly laid the "child's" body on the ground near Jazzmin was standing and started to prepare for battle. Jazzmin also did the same with the female collie, placing the collie right next to the "child." All three took their stand against the demons forming a circle around the two unconscious bodies the three had to protect. As they always do, the demons started the assault with the first strike towards Tritops. As JamaicaBase morphed herself into a demonic version of a hyena, Jazzmin pulled out a small metal rod from one of her pockets and pushed a button which cause the rod to extend into a bo staff with a foot long blade extended at one end.


Jazzmin twirled the bo staff in the air and quickly took an attacking stance aiming the foot long blade at a charging demon slasher. Jazzmin blocked the slashers razor sharp claws from cutting her face using her bo staff when the demon lunged at her as the creature landed on all fours it quickly turned and lunged again at her. The slasher moved swiftly aiming its claws at Jazzmin's neck but Jazzmin continued to dodge its attacks. As Jazzmin dodge the slashers last assault on her she tripped the creature causing it to slam to the ground. This gave her enough time to kill the creature by stabbing him through the back of it's neck with the bo staff's blade. Her victory however was short lived as a demon soldier began to strike Jazzmin from behind throwing her head against the wall. Knowing that she had to make some distance between her and the demon soldier Jazzmin kicked the the demon soldier very hard in the face, the force from it pushing him back. Blood began to seep out of the wound on Jazzmin's forehead and she began to feel dazed. She tried desperately to get over the feeling by shaking her head but it didnt help much and the demon soldier soon continued with his attack on Jazzmin.

During the battle, the shielding that Jazzmin had put over the collie's body began to melt around the collie like a silver body suit exposing the females head and hands in the process. The reason why the shielding did this was because the female collie had finally regain consciousness and was very much confused by what was happening. All the female had to help her understand the situation she was in was seeing the three reptiles fighting for their lives against the many demon soldiers. Seeing this gave her this feeling as if this had happened to her before, a feeling she just did not want to go through again. So she quickly ran up in front of a demon soldier that was attacking Jazzmin and punched the demon so hard that his jaw flew off his face.

"HA! That's what ya get ya damn demon freak!" she gloatingly said.

"H-h-how did you do that?" asked Jazzmin. She was truly both shocked and amazed by what she had seen the collie do.

"Ah-Ah don't know," the female said in a some what confused manner as she just realized what she had just done, "Ah just did it."

"Damn girl, that's one hellva punch." JamaicaBase soon said. "I don't even think Tritops could throw a punch like that."

The collie felt a bit happy hearing that, sort of proud in a way.

Just then seven demon droids rush the two but the collie just punched the droids away one by one as if they were mere rag dolls. While the battle raged on the collie single-handedly turned the tide into the reptiles favor but what really surprised the others than the fact of her amazing strength was something the female had done by accident during the battle.
