them all with my death touch!" The boy stopped and faced the demons. Shiva and Ash stopped as well but kept their distance. They remained alert and ready to flee again at a moments notice. Everything went silent as the demons disappeared suddenly from sight, burrowing underground.
    Five of the demons emerged from the sand, encircling Aura. The death toucher removed his metal gauntlet, revealing his blackened hand. He was about to shoot forward when the demons unanimously shot out the same acidic liquid that Ash had encountered.
    Aura dropped to the ground and covered himself with his arms. He couldn’t avoid the demon’s attacks, as their acid sprayed across his cloak. The material dissolved almost instantly, leaving Aura with only his signature black and blue coat for protection.
    "Is that all you got?" Aura said. The demons did not acknowledge him. "I take it you're done puking, since you're not blasting me again? That must mean you've run out." Again, the demons did not respond. Aura grinned. "Now you're all in big, big trouble!"
    Aura shot his hand forward so fast it was a blur. He pivoted and blasted his arm out again. Five times he did this, each time an electric blue shock occurred and the demons dropped dead. Five purple wisps of demon souls disappeared into the night. Aura fell to his knees, his nose trickling with blood.
    Ash tried to rush to his friend, but more demons emerged from the ground and blocked his path. Even more of the worms popped up surrounding Shiva. Those demons began spewing out their acidic gunk at the girl. Shiva moved like a gymnast: twisting, bending, turning her body in every which way conceivable to avoid their acid. Their toxic substances missed her entirely. Now it was her turn.
    Drawing twin daggers out from underneath her cloak, Shiva lunged at the nearest of her foes. With a quick swing of her arms the demon was severed into four sections. It dropped to the ground where it continued to wriggle around disturbingly. Again, Shiva leapt forward at each foe, cutting them all to fleshy ribbons. After her final attack she took a knee and tucked away her daggers, thinking she’d won. Another demon popped out of the sand behind her, spraying her down with the acid.
    Her cloak and facial protection melted away, revealing the spunky redheaded girl in armor. She turned and blasted a small shot of flames at the demon that sprayed her and its head exploded. I need more training, Shiva thought.
    Ash's defense was a little simpler. With the worms surround ing him and spraying their acid at the same time, the boy simply jumped. At the peak of his jump, he brought out his wings and flapped powerfully downward. The result was an extra spring to his jump, launching him higher. From above he readied fireballs in both hands. Since learning how to use flame a month ago, Ash discovered he had a natural talent for it. He shot the fireballs at the demons and quickly readied two more. Over and over he did this, floating in the air and raining down fire until there was nothing on the ground but demon puddles.
    The boy dropped down and pulled his wings back inside his body. Shiva and Aura joined him, and all three of them appeared to be okay despite some minor burns from the acid.
    "Anyone injured?" Shiva asked.
    "Are you kidding? Those gu ys were small fries," Aura said, wiping away the last of the blood from his nose. He caught a concerned look from Ash about it, but smiled confidently as if it were no big deal.
    " That was a lot of demons,” Ash said. “Do you think we stepped on their nest back by that Beetle?”
    " There was another demon back there?” Aura asked, alarmed.
    “No, I mean… Oh, never mind.”
    “Did you see anything else?” Shiva asked.
    “Oh yeah!” Ash said, remembering the cloaked figure. “I saw someone, I think! Just before the demons attacked us.”
    "Sounds too convenient. Maybe the demons were part of the rebels defenses," Shiva said.
    Aura snorted, unconvinced. “ If there
