Marca stopped and turned back. He saw his most hated enemy and his followers coming down the beach, the white sand puffing up like dust around their feet, the blinding sun making them appear hazy. He saw his apprentice in attack stance, his dual black saber ignited. He watched as Agassiz left his side and moved down towards Ciylo, abandoning the attack on Evil and going to help Ciylo fend off Agba. But then he turned back again to the jungle where his mate, HIS MATE, who had lied to him, gave up on him and laid with another male, was hiding. He played right into Agba's plan. He turned away from the fight on the beach and began to run towards Evil again.
Ciylo had but a few seconds to watch in disbelief as Marka left him and Agassiz to ward off Agba and his followers. He desperately wanted to follow, but Agba was on him, as well as about 5 other people. Agassiz let out a feral scream as she collided with her old captor's, and Ciylo wrote her off as ok for the time being and concentrated on his half of the attack. The first one came at him in a full run, arms up and saber over his head. Ciylo dropped to his knees at the last possible second and jammed his own blade up and into the underside of his jaw and through his head. Pulling it out, he swept around still on his knees and caught the next one across his thighs, chopping the lower half of his legs clean off. The falling body collapsed and tripped two more behind him conveniently and as they fell Ciylo stood and relived them of their heads. Agassiz had only managed one kill, but was still holding her own so Ciylo continued to move forward. Agba had slowed and let the others initiate the battle and was now standing there waiting for the two of them to make their way out of the mess and to him. Ciylo snapped his saber in half and threw one end of it straight in the chest of another male and then finally crossed the remaining blade with another males saber. Agassiz screamed as she was hit in the shoulder with a blade and Ciylo reached out with his powers and grabbed her attacker in a chokehold long enough for her to slice off an arm and then bury her blade deep in his heart. Turning his full concentration back to the male he was fighting with he once again used his powers to push this one back and into the group that was on Agassiz. She killed three more before they were able to stand. He called to the other end of his saber and it returned to his hand and he rejoined them together once again. There were now just three of them left; Agba and what appeared to be two of his personal guard.
