It's a two on two fight. Sameer faces Myles while Tyler faces Zayn. Though he's in a fight for his life, this feels so much more right when he's with Tyler. He feels the taller man's back pressed against his own." What do you two want?"
"Your boyfriend." Myles says, nodding towards Tyler. Though Sameer refuses to take his eyes off of the man and his cheshire, mischievous grin, he wants to turn over his shoulder and ask Tyler what they're talking about. "He's got something we need."
Sameer feels a blip in Zayn's energy, that negative field coming from behind him makes him want to turn around too. He keeps his eyes focused on Myles. Fuck. "What are you talking about, you cheap-shotting, sneaky ass bitch?"
Tyler watches Zayn summon a slim, black crystal out of thin air; it hovers just above his palm, rotating slowly and emitting this weird energy that smudges it's immediate circumference, like reality is a wet, freshly painted mural that somebody rubbed their hand all over before the paint could dry. "What is that?" Tyler holds out his rose adorned blade.
"This is a shard of the Antiprism." Zayn says, and as he speaks, Tyler gets a sinking feeling in his chest. "It works like a magnet, it pulls out the Estelle Shards inside you."
Those words yank Sameer's full attention to the men behind him, shock filling him. No. Tyler has an Estelle Shard?
Before Sameer can swing his wand around and cast is Reversal Wave at Zayn, Myles is on him again, swinging down his sword. Sameer quickly reels back in the direction of his attacker, frustration sparks in his fiercely defensive gaze. He narrows his eyes at Myles as he blocks the blade with the wand, locking them in a heated bind.
Though Sameer can't see what's happening behind him, that is where his concern resides. "You leave him alone!" He shouts at Zayn, but it's too late. The man is already slicing his own hand open with an athame, letting blood pool in his palm before watching it break the rules of gravity and flow upward into the crystal, activating it.
The energy that now emits from the Antiprism is so strong that it's visible, inky black circles of energy vibrate from it. If Tyler has one of the Seven Great Archdemons in him, Sameer is going to need back-up, but he can't reach his communicator to activate it. Shit, shit, shit.
Tyler feels the energy washing over him, almost like the polarity of gravity has changed and draws him toward the crystal. Does he have a piece of the Prism hidden within him? The magnetism gets stronger, but the invisible force only tugs at his own blade. Zayn narrows his eyes at Tyler, slices another line of his palm to strengthen the use of the obsidian crystal. The force gets even stronger, but instead of succumbing, shock registers across Zayn's face as Tyler cocks his hand back and throws his sword right at him. Zayn barely dodges his attack, rolling out of the way and then breathing hard.
"Guess you were wrong. I don't have an Estelle Shard." Tyler smirks. Now that Zayn is a far enough distance away from them and occupied, he can turn around and go for Myles to help Sameer. He turns around just in time to see them both break from the hold, Myles jumps backwards.
