Sam slowly comes to, her face rubbing against the grass and her hearing slowly tuning into a massive fight of steel clanking together...maybe bones...guns...too many other distractions to hear anything that Roxxane is trying to tell her

She gets dragged up to her feet by Roxxane as she continues trying to communicate with her

Sam almost completely ignores her...to busy watching in shock as Bastion and the Demon Lord throw down...Agustus doing his best to keep up with them

"BASSIE, DAD" Sam screams out, staring at them

Bastion cocks his head to her for a moment as he slashes a long, black sword into the Demon Lord's wrist

Sam breaks out of Roxxane's grasp, rushing past bloody knight armor decorating the ground

"SAM, IT'S NOT SAFE" Roxxane sprints after her, reaching a hand out

The Demon Lord slams his sword into Bastion's shoulder...chopping his arm off

"BASTION" Agustus glances at his son in horror, going for another swing

His sword collides with the Demon Lord's head...but it does absolutely nothing

"NO HARD FEELINGS" The Demon Lord goes for another swing on Bastion

Sam brings out the inner tiger cub in her and uses every shred of strength that she can muster to bash her shoulder into The Demon Lord

The Demon Lord surprisingly gets staggered away

Bastion creaks his gaze at his dismembered arm, the pain trickling in, and the shock his nervous system brings causes him to drop his sword

"BASSIE-BASSIE" Sam hugs Bastion tight

Agustus tries to go for another chop into The Demon Lord, but still, the sword doesn't even cut through his robe

The Demon Lord stares at Sam...looking like he feels so much grief in his system

Bastion doesn't respond, he gawks at his arm

Sam...Sam gets angry...she lets go of Bastion and picks up the black sword, slowly walking toward The Demon Lord with as much menace as a 5-year-old in a too-too can...which is surprisingly a lot when she looks like she's ready to kill somebody

"HAAAAAGH" She sways the sword at The Demon Lord

The Demon Lord dodges away, his full attention on Sam

Sam keeps swinging, and swinging, and swinging, and swinging

The Lord keeps dodging with ease, completely uncaring about Agustus' sword blows

"OH GOD, BASTION-BASTION" Roxxane rubs her hands together quickly, her palms beginning to turn green

"No...don't...no...not...it's not worth it" Bastion backs away from Roxxane, shielding his nub from her

"DON'T WORRY ABOUT ME, YOU NEED YOUR ARM BACK" Roxxane argues, continuing to reach toward him

"It's not worth...you losing yours, too" Bastion despondently shakes his head

"HAH-HAH...hah....ah" Sam slows down, quickly wearing herself out

"...Why the hell'd you make me do this" The Lord mutters

"YOU BEAST" Agustus keeps swinging at him to preserve his manhood

Sam stares up to The Lord...now trembling with fear

"I'm not here for you...just him, I am so, so sorry, okay?" The Lord explains himself, 

"Ah-hah-hm-HAH" Sam stands her ground, holding her arms out to block him from Bastion

"Fine...we'll do it like that" The Lord shoves Sam out of the way
