Beatle and Billy kept on running and running out of horror and fear while bullets dancing through the air landed in the trunks of trees. They are terrified by the null confections of the strange homing missiles charging toward them.
They duck. They hide. They take cover. Each bullet spins and swims in the air like deadly whistling darts.
"What are those things!?!?" asked Billy, while Beatle carried him on his back.
"Those are the hellhounds of madness itself," said Beatle. "A quiet soliloquy that whistles in the dead silence of night."
"Like THE JOKER!!!"
"No. Worse," said Beatle. "He's called 'Hit'. Also, I'm proud you made that reference."
"Yay!" smiled Billy.
Hit sighs, blasting at Beatle over and over. "Y-Y-Y-You think you can j-j-j-j-just run away from your countless a-a-a-a-atrocities-tees-tees!?!? ST. KING!?!?"
"Those atrocities were done to save my nation," said Beatle, taking out his blaster and shooting at each of the missiles darting toward Beatle's face.
"THAT IS NO EXCUSE!!!"
"I never committed war crimes," said Beatle. "You people did."
"But we did it... FOR... ALL HAIL... MORNINGSTAR!!!" roared Hit, who managed to blast a hole open in both Beatle's kneecaps.
Beatle falls down, limp as he stumbled downhill while Billy catches his hand. Billy tries hard to pull him back up as Beatle's eyes flickered with a dying light.
"Beatle!!! C'MON!!!" cried Billy, trying to pull him back up.
Beatle points his gun at Billy, who frantically dodges. Turns out, he was aiming for the warrior behind him, the being known as Hit.
Hit blocks the shot and tackles Beatle, leaving Billy unconscious from the shockwave's blast as he fell unconscious on the hilltop.
Beatle is beaten and bruised by Hit with ease.
Hit grabs Beatle by the neck and pulls him up. Blood dripped from Beatle's own lips and some droplets dwindled down his fingers. For the first time in years, he shivered in fear.
Hit sneers. "For the betrayal of the great nation of the Philippine Empire, I hereby sentence you... To death..."
A rock strikes Hit's head from behind. He slowly turns, angrily. He is shown to have violet eyes and violet hair. He has a badge on his chest of a brown upside-down star: A pentagram. He has a muscular build, a cleft chin, and light brown skin that is considered "better" than Beatle's.
"What... do you want...?" asked Billy, holding a rock in his hand preparing to throw it.
"I want to serve Aurora. No one else. My purpose is to kill. Destroy. Conquer. In the name of Satan."
"What the hell happened to you, Pete?" asked Beatle, trying to speak with Hit. "Pete... I remember... back in High School... I used to sit down next to the dumpster behind the school yard. They laughed at me for being... me... You were kind enough to sit next to me and talk to me. I knew you were a good person from then on. Why did you choose Aurora?"
"You've spoken this way to me 27 times over the course of 900 y-y-yyears."
"And I still believe I can save you..." said Beatle. "I suggest you walk away."
"Or WHAT!?!? We are clearly much, much more powerful than a pathetic weakling like you."
"Or... THIS!!! Hell..."
Suddenly, Hit's eyes resonated with one emotion Billy wasn't expecting: Fear.
Hit looks down to Beatle's torso, seeing Beatle cross his arms with closed fists, and at the speed of sound, open his thumb, index finger, and finally, his middle finger as he creates a triangle from his fingers and blasts at Hit. "FAIYA!!!"
A hole is blasted open into Hit's chest as he falls to the ground, going limp.
Beatle, who is paralyzed and tries to regenerate his legs, tells Billy, "GO!!! RUN AWAY!!! HIDE!!! I SHALL FIND YOU AGAIN LATER!!!"
"But... you're hurt!" cried Billy.
"Billy. I don't want you to die for me. My job is to die for you."
"And my job is vice versa!" sobbed Billy.
"Fine. Run. Think of a plan while I hold him off."
Beatle hands Billy his Cross Bow by tossing it. Billy catches it.
"Please. Go."
Billy sees that somehow, the tall Nephilim, Hit, begins standing right back up as the wounds on his chest regenerate, albeit, unlike with Beatle, he is in pain, and the wound remains bruised.
"GO!!!" roared Beatle.
Billy nods and runs away as Hit grabs Beatle's head. Beatle doesn't flinch, as if he allowed this to happen and Hit crashes his face into the trees, snapping each in half.
Beatle, bloody-blue and bruised, falls to the ground, shaking. His blue blood leaking out of his face.
"Pete... Please. You were the valedictorian of our class once. You had parents who loved you dearly. You had a sister. You had a girlfriend, but I knew, you didn't like her. You loved men, and your father was far too close-minded to-..."
Hit stops for a second and yells. "SHUT UP!!!"
"Please..."
"I used to make fun of you. Why, until now, are you being so kind to me?"
"Because that is my-..."
"NO!!! DON'T SAY THAT!!!" Hit beats Beatle to the ground. "DON'T. E--E-E-E---EVER. SAY THAT!!! You just feel BAD for us. You don't care about us. We reject you as our savior."
"No shit, Sherlock. What do you think caused ALL OF THIS in the first fucking place!?!?"
"In the name of MO-O-O-orningstar..." He prepares to blast Beatle's head open with a deadly spell from his palms.
Beatle closes his eyes.
"BEATLE!!!" He hears Billy's words in his head.
"Miggy..." A woman's voice...
"BEATZ!!!" yelled two men in his head.
"Beatle..." said another woman.
Beatle growls and grabs his palm as Beatle's entire hand explodes, but almost immediately, it regenerates. Beatle begins to fly up while grabbing Hit's face.
"I... have regained a few more of my memories... and thus... I can feel it... His power... returning in each and every grain and fiber of the temple that is my body..."
Hit, is now terrified.
"BILLY!!! ON MY BOOM BOOMERANG!!!" roared Beatle.
Hit is even more terrified. He blasts at Beatle over and over with his death spells but Beatle just slaps each attack away, though, he looks worn-out and beaten at this point.
"SHAPE OF-!!!" Beatle sneered as Hit became mortified completely. "A BOOMERANG LASER SWORD!!!" Beatle manifests a boomerang laser sword and decapitates Hit as Billy jumps back into the scene, revealed to have been hiding in one of the trees' leaves and blasts the head into pieces as blue blood and gray matter splattered around everywhere.
Beatle falls to his knees and falls unconscious.
Billy smiles, hugging Beatle. "We did it, Beatle! Beatle? Oh no... Beatle! BEATLE!!!" Billy cries and hugs Beatle's limp body. "BEATLE!!! PLEASE!!! WAKE UP!!! NO!!!"
