Alan stood there for a few moments, though the lizard guy wasn't really a challenge to him, it still amazed Alan the arrogance lizard guy had. Hopix was holding her anger in check she could feel the guy was nowhere as strong as Alan, but still he was making threats. Looking at Alan she saw he was deciding what to do, go after the stronger of the two or the lizard guy.
"I'm not sure Hopix I'm smelling an ambush in all this, I've never trusted any of the beings I've met and I'm not about to. The minute I go after the stronger ones Lizard guy will be sure to show up and try to kill me while I am weaker."
Alan stood there for possibly fifteen minutes them finally made a decision, turning toward one of the stronger bad mages Hopix's eyes were wide. Why go after that one? It wasn't the strongest, sighing she decided she'd trust Alan he hadn't been wrong yet except when he hadn't paid attention but Hopix felt that wasn't about to happen again.
Pulling off the ground Alan started to levitate pushing forward he reached out and healed and repaired everything he could see. Twenty minutes later they arrived at a uh ... what the hell was it Alan thought, if he had to describe it he'd say it was a big pile of crap just thrown on the ground. Standing outside Alan reached out in all directions feeling everything. Then he took aim and blew a hole through the front of the "ugh" pile.
With a scream the owner came flying out, damn thought Alan a pile of crap and a dung beetle. "I will kill you for what you have done!" The huge beetle screamed at him, I won't allow you to live after what you did to Groc!"
Suddenly the beetle flew straight at him. Huh, this was new. Strengthening his shield the beetle hit it and knocked Alan on his ass! What the hell? Coming at him again, Alan caught it ... or thought he had as it started to drag him. Letting it go, he suddenly felt the lizard guy, and blasted the hell out of an entire hill side.
The screams he heard had him smiling. Ducking Alan barely avoided getting hit again. Trying to stay calm Alan started to go through all the ideas that had sprung to his mind. Spray? No that was insane, what I really need is something to swat him with like a ... Alan started to smile,
"You're dead, you can't touch me while I am flying, but I can batter you 'til your unconscious. I can..." the beetle boasted,
that is 'til Alan connected with a baseball bat effectively smashing the beetle in the head." Reaching out, Alan delved in, ripping everything he could from the beetle, screaming as he felt his power fade, Alan just left him there. Reaching out he did a massive freeing of the Fairixies.
Even with the new additions of Fairixies, the last bad guy still had over half of the population as its slaves, Alan could feel this last one was going to be a fight much like the first he'd defeated when he took the job. Alan freed another city removing everything that would kill them. Waiting he felt the approach of the large crowd. As before he told them of the city that was theirs now it had food and shelter, they were free. Of course as they were walking away Hopix had to explain to a few hundred this time before they could truely move on.
They'd only walked for a few minutes when Hopix turned to Alan, "when this is over there is much I need to tell you." Sighing she took a breath, Alan was staring at her a little odd. She had much to tell him, damn! What had the council 'forgotten' to tell him now?
"When this is over I will do all I can to sit and listen, I am just hoping it's not another surprise the council forgot to tell me." Alan growled.
"Oh dear!" Hopix said, "No it's nothing like that but I am afraid that it might mean the end of our partnership."
Alan had a panicked look for a second; he didn't think he could go without Hopix again. The last time had seemed like an eternity, and though he didn't want to admit it he was actually starting to feel something for her, Now that she was feeling healthier, she appeared to look even more beautiful to Alan. Sighing he knew though that it would never work there sizes alone were the one deciding factor against anything happening between them, I guess it was just better not to say anything and be near her than to speak up and seem a damn fool. Sighing that was the problem though he already felt a fool just having feelings for her.
