I do!  Ahem, ahem, sorry :( 

When Vincent missed his punch, The Seductress blinked once again. Now she was beside him, holding his shoulders, and whispering in his ear, "You can't fight me! I will always be greater than you. Every ability of every host I possess I amplify to godlike levels, even Jamie's rainbow belt MMAB (mixed martial arts for breeders) skills."

Vincent said no word in reply, and instantly grabbed the human waist of Jamie. With his strength, he flung the entire body of the breeder above his head and towards the ground. The Seductress hit her back with a thud, and her lower body followed suit, echoing with a crash on the ground. While The Seductress took some time to recover, Vincent Immediately ran over to the rest of his friends and untied or unbound all the men, Laodhmair, Cee, Ceejay, Norman, Makat, Ridan, Zenthi, and Ladrino to be exact, and he instructed them to untie and unbound the ladies. "I'll handle The Seductress myself, and get my girl back!" Vincent said to them after.

Wasting no time, the men instantly went to the bound women and untied them as quickly as possible, while Vincent approached The Seductress, who had fully recovered and stood up from the ground. Echoes of cheering cultists reverberated throughout the islands yet disturbed no one else outside from their sleep. 

Marjolina and her company enjoyed the scene of the fight along with her other cultists, but that was until Sukram saw the fifteen-plus friends of Vincent rushing towards them. He whispered the news into Marjolina's left ear, and she instantly turned from smiling to fuming. The black widow drider shifted her gaze from the fight and watched where they were going: towards the now dying priestess Denarra laying near the Obelisk. (The, Vincent, and The Seductress were on the far side of the Village, closest to the river.)

"MY fellow followers!" Marjolina said in a loud booming voice. Every cultist turned to her, awaiting her orders. "We must not let Vincent's friends get towards the dying Priestess!" she continued, pointing in the direction of fifteen-plus. Those who were there immediately formed a wall between the priestess and the group of friends. They immediately conjured up weapons, or readied balls of indigo flame to cast at the fifteen.

"Looks like we got company!" Elaiza exclaimed, "And I don't think they're too happy about us!"

"Then we have no other choice," Noelle said as she and the other breeders took to the skies, "We must fight back." 

With an instant battle cry, the fifteen charged into the wall of cultists, instantly trading blows and shots of egg and arrow. Swarms of insects, even butterflies, gathered around the breeders and dove towards the cultists below, preparing and applying every natural defense The Creator had given each one of them.

Little by little, the priestess was dying. A few handful of Plato Navians, those who were true to their Priestess and not with those cultists, joined the fifteen, aiding the with their own weapons of wood and stone. Little by little, fortunately, the group were able to inch their way closer to Denarra.

Meanwhile, Vincent and The Seductress were still in hand to hand combat, but with The Seductress' extremely fast speed and reflexes, Vincent was going on the losing side. With every blow he faced, he was getting more and more exhausted. His power drained quicker than ever.

...

Now it came to a point that Vincent had expended all his energy inside him while The Seductress was still energetic. His body suffered a lot of bruises and cuts, while The Seductress suffered only a graze to her left cheek.

The Exiled One finally landed a punch to Vincent's jaw, and sent him flying towards the ground. Vincent hit the ground with a soft thud, and he, now unconscious, lay on the floor with no one to help him up.
