Alister ran up the stairs reaching up to pull his bag forward, “Damn I left my bag?! How'd I miss that?” He asked himself, finally noticing his missing bag. Behind him he could hear Apollo shouting that he couldn't get away. Upon reaching the next floor, Alister saw a boarded up door and slammed through it, splinters and shrapnels of wood cut the exposed parts of Alister's skin. Groaning, he pulled himself up and looked around, his surroundings were clear. Alister was standing on a balcony that connected to the tower.
An arrow flew past his cheek, grazing him slightly as blood flowed from the cut. “Finally got you cornered didn't I? I'll give you credit though, you are a fast one!” Apollo said as he walked out onto the balcony. The two watched each other waiting to see who would make the first move. “Theres nothing to use out here, my back might really be against the wall,” Alister thought to himself, nervousness filling him, but there was something else under the nervousness. It was excitement, hidden under it, Alister felt thrilled at the danger he was in with a smile spreading on his face.
Alister reached into the back of his pants and pulled out the pistol he stole in Fabuloso, aiming it at Apollo and pulling the trigger. Before pulling however an arrow jammed itself in the barrel of the gun, causing it to explode in Alister's hand. With a loud cry of pain Alister fell to his knees holding his right hand, blistered to and red from the explosion. Apollo walked over putting cuffs on Alister's wrists as he said “Im the best shot in the world Azazel, why do you think my codename is Apollo. You fought the best and you lost.” Dragging Alister onto his feet, Apollo gave him a nudge with an arrow head to force him to start walking.
The two exited the balcony and into the hallway, Alister still smiling and he ran plans through his mind to try and escape. “Esdeath I captured Azazel ... .you there?” Apollo asked to the sound of static. “Helloooooo? Are you there Ice Queen?” Apollo asked again but to more static. “Well if she died fighting your friends it just means more of your bounty for me! Gonna buy me some top quality steak with the money I get from your head!” Apollo bragged as the two started walking down the stairs. “ALISTER RUN NOW!” Tesla shouted, showing up out of nowhere, a large stone flying through the air at Apollo's head. Alister ducked under the stone and started to run down the stairs. Tesla held out her arms, ready to help Alister but a mixture of emotions began to fill her heart.
Fear, anger and sorrow filled her heart as an arrow lodged itself through Alister's neck. Alister felt the warmth of his blood begin to soak his chest as he felt his body go limp, falling down the stairs and into Tesla's arms. “YOU BITCH! I WAS GONNA TAKE HIM ALIVE BUT NOW ILL JUST HAVE TO TAKE HIS HEAD!” Apollo shouted as he ripped his helmet off, a baseball sized hole in the side of his head from where the stone had hit him. Tears streamed down Tesla's cheeks as she held Alister. Smoke began to gather around the two as Emerald appeared between them and Apollo ready for another fight.
