Song: All Falls Down by Alan Walker ft. Noah Cyrus and Digital Farm Animals

'Cause when it all falls down, then whatever

When it don't work out for the better

If it just ain't right, and it's time to say goodbye

When it all falls down, when it all falls down

I'll be fine

I'll be fine

You're the drug that I'm addicted to

And I want you so bad, but I'll be fine

"Masssterrrr," breathed the creature. It was like a hologram, slightly transparent, but very real. "Youuu haaveeee summoneeddd meeee, masssterrrr."

"Yes," cackled Hale from the other side of the pentagram. "Lend me your power, Beast, and I shall conquer lands in your name."

"No!" a familiar voice cried. It—no, it was definitely a she—sounded so, so faraway, yet so, so, close.

"L-Livvy?" Ty choked out as he turned. No, Ty, Kit screamed in his mind. Don't—don't leave me again!

"How annoying—" Hale started.

The two demons flanking him exploded into dust and ichor as Dru knifed the one Kit had been fighting while Emma thrust her sword through the other. Hale's face visibly whitened. "Morons, morons, all of you L.A. Shadowhunters are morons! You haven't seen true power, you haven't seen—"

"Your ass leaving," finished Emma. "Can we see that now?"

"Shut up!" he roared. "You ignorant little fools don't know the true meaning of power; the small, insignificant Shadow Market will never be enough, I shall—"

"You know," interrupted Emma again. "Usually supervillains don't announce their villainous plans to their enemies. That's dumb."

"I'm not a villain, I'm a reformist—"

"More like reforming trashcan." Emma smirked. "Trash collection is on Monday; you scheduled the wrong time to be here. Come back tomorrow, thank you and have a not-so-nice day, you ass."

"Don't hurt them," said Livvy. Her pale, ghostly form floated towards them. Julian choked. "I am bound to Ty. If you hurt him, the bond will sever and everyone here will die. Including you."

"Do you think I'm scared of one Nephilim ghost?" sneered Hale.

"Actually, yes—" Kit started.

"Quiet! I am not! And when I'm done with all of you, I'll use your spirit to power my Beast," said Hale. "I'll wipe out all of you pestering Blackthorns. And Bane, you're a disgrace to our kind. Fooling around with those who want to kill us."

"For your information," clarified Magnus, "I'm not fooling around. I'm serious, the Consul is my husband, and we're living quite happily together, thank you very much."

"Livvy, get out of here," Julian pleaded. "You'll get hurt. I promise you we can handle this on our own."

Livvy shook her head. "I need to be here. I need to be here if Ty gets injured. And—and I can't go anywhere else. The bond doesn't allow me to stray too far. That's why—that's why I've been secretly trailing Ty and Kit."
