Emerald stood in front of Tesla and Alister, bow drawn and arrow notched staring down Apollo. “I'm guessing Esdeath died trying to stop you, no biggie means more money for me!” Apollo said a wide grin spreading on his face as he drew a hunting knife from his belt. “I'll hold him off, while you think of something. Just don't pull out the arrow; it could kill him quicker.” Tesla nodded after being told this, looking around quickly for something. Apollo jumped forward, his knife being met with a loud clang as Emerald blocked with her bow. 

“His hits are so heavy! Am I this out of practice from sitting behind a desk!” Emerald thought to herself struggling to hold back Apollo. Apollo laughed at Emeralds struggle saying “You might as well give up and run because Azazel will be dead in a matter of moments! I always get my target!” Using smoke, Emerald conjured copies of herself, using them to jump Apollo but it was futile as he quickly dispatched the copies. “Hold him off! I have to run back to the room and grab Alister's bag!” Tesla shouted to Emerald who glared back in annoyance. 

Tesla quickly ran down the stairs back to the room where Emerald's previous battle was, quickly spotting Alister's backpack on a chair. Esdeath was nowhere to be seen, which confused Tesla for a moment but ultimately ignored it running for the bag. Opening it she saw the box that she had left for Alister giving a sigh of relief upon seeing it again. Quickly closing the bag Tesla turned to head towards the door only to be stopped by Esdeath who stood in the doorway. 

With a grunt Emerald slammed into the wall, Apollo's knife inches from her face as he slowly pressed down. “I hate to take out a beautiful lady like yourself, but I'll live with it!” Apollo said as his knife slowly cut into Emerald's cheek. Emerald quickly turned into smoke, moving around Apollo and up the stairs. “Ya know, you were so distracted by me, you didn't notice I already moved Azazel!” Emerald said as she reformed at the top of the stairs. Apollo looked where Alister's body had been only to see it gone. With a loud scream he began to chase Emerald up the stairs and out onto the balcony where he fought Alister.

A strong wind was blowing causing Emerald to fully solidify as she didn't want to leave her friends behind. “Once I'm done with you, I'm gonna catch and take out that orange little imp friend of yours! All three of you should fetch a good price!” Apollo screamed over the heavy wind as he stepped towards Emerald. Emerald readied herself staff in hand, Apollo raising his knife only for a gunshot to ring through the air.
