But that means I don't get to slash stuff!
I whispered as loudly as I dared, watching him go. This wasn't exciting. and after a few moments of indecision, I went after him, crouched low with my blades dragging on the earth.
Fine, I'll watch your sorry little butt, but you'd better appreciate this.

"I'm not asking you to trust me," Pike hissed, suddenly stopping and turning to face her and finding himself at pointblank in front of her. He blinked and slowly distanced himself from her. "...If you want to slay the demon, that's your own business. Just consider me another threat if you must. You've made your decision, and I've made mine. So don't watch my back because I asked you to."
He turned to face the demon again and walked up to it. The demon emitted something like a "hirrn... hirrn..." sound, as if breathing heavily and on the verge of wheezing. It raised its sword, and Pike raised his.

I stuck my tongue out at him, and held it there a few extra seconds as my eyes fell upon the creature. Realizing it probably wasn't smart to appear as if I was taunting it, I sucked in my tongue and raised my blades. Threatening was much more flattering for me.

The demon suddenly lunged forward at an elfish speed-- a speed that apparently Pike was used to handling and yet could not muster for himself. Peculiar in someone who claimed to be an elf for himself. The boy fended off the quick strikes from the silhouette-like spirit, dodging here and there and having blocked Narya out of his mind.

He seemed to be handling himself pretty well, and I restrained myself to circling around him, waiting for any chance to jump in.
So when are you going to do that steal the demonic whatever thing you were talking about?
I called out, ducking a particularly wide cut from the demon.

"Right--NOW--!"
As he shouted, Pike forced the demon's sword off to the side and thrust his other hand-- which held an orb-- into the demon's body. A shrill, horrible shriek filled the air and resounded off the rubble pillars and ruined walls.
Pike withdrew his hand, crying out and stumbling backwards. The orb glowed black, and the demon before him was now identifiable with yellow eyes and dark gray skin and clothing. It hissed at Pike and began to advance towards him.

Not good.
I still didn't trust him, but there was something inside me which would just not let me stand by and watch a guy get devoured by a demon. Probably all that "moral" stuff my father has always pushed on me, but despite the risks, which I usually considered very heavily before making a decision, I rushed forward, sliding to stop in front of Pike and rushing my blades forward and into the demon. It pulled backwards, hissing and shreaking what I imagined was the equivalent to a couple of swear word at me.
You'd better get up because I'm not about to do that again.

Pike smirked and rose to his feet. He looked at the demon before them, and it in turn continued to hiss and threaten them with its sword.
Pike snuffed. "...He's not so tough, eh Narya?"

Yeah, sure. We can say that after he's dead.
I replied over my shoulder, glancing back quickly. I shifted to the side slightly, my eyes focused only on our little friend.
Ok, you're the expert, what do we do next?

"Fight til we drop," Pike said, looking at his glowing orb. "...And it'll be easier for me if I do this..."
Suddenly, visible black bolts of energy shot from the orb and through Pike's arm, causing his whole body to go rigid. His eyes darkened all the more, and his hair became wild. His richly tan skin began the same hideous gray as the demon's before them, and his clothes became completely black.
He smirked menacingly. "You do not belong here, demon..."

ooc: ((-cries- dark Pike scares me!))
Ok, that was just a bit creepy. I took another step to the side, pausing to study my companion for a second. I was all for advantages in hard fights, but this was... wasn't what I had been expecting.
I couldn't just let him show me up like that, either. My ego just wouldn't except the fact that the guy next to me was more powerful then me. No way, it was time I dug into the magic supply of mine and do something cool myself. The only problem was I wasn't quite sure how to do that, since I only ever seemed to tap into my supply when in grave danger.
Oh well, I could fix that.
And, indeed, I did, by running headlong towards the demon.

The demon started to take a swing at Narya's seemingly reckless charge. But it suddenly caught sight of an airborne, demonic Pike that had leaped into the air in an attempt to tackle it, and the demon faltered in its strike, leaving itself vulnerable to Narya.

I could see him coming out of the corner of my eye, and I knew that I had to make my move now, or I would never get my chance again. I was in grave enough danger, right? I mean, I was right next to the thing, surely I could just use a little magic.
I reached into myself, feeling the strain flow through my fingers. It was at my core, the foundations of my body, and it took a struggle to wrestle away a portion. It was a little bit, but it would work.
I threw my scimitars high into the air, watching with a smile as the creature followed their movement instead of focusing on me.
My hands lifted upwards, I pushed the magic into them, watching in amazement as mist flowed from the tips, wrapping itself around the demon and restraining him. Now that was cool.

And while the demon was restrained, it was killed. Narya's scimitars came down at double the speed she threw them upwards because a beastly Pike caught them in the air and chucked them down at the demon straight on.
The demon shrieked loudly and vanished into millions of little dark particles. Pike landed, smirking the same menacing smirk towards Narya. "...You look tasty..." Some black drool from his mouth dropped to the ground.

I figured out quickly that my mist could also grab my scimitars, and that's exactly what I did, drawing them back into my hands as I let the fog fall away, swirling around my boots.
You'd better pray to the gods your joking, otherwise you're going to get one heck of a butt kicking if you take one step closer.
I growled, lifting one of my scimitars menacingly and pointing it at him. This kid either need some serious help, or was just amazingly powerful in a dark, creepy sort of way.
I liked you better when you were quite and secluded. Not that this isn't useful in its own right.
I added, not backing down, my eyes staring straight into his. His move.
