They arrived downstairs at the entrance of the lab, seeing Stetler
standing there with his followers. Fuck he brought a Demon with him,
Speed thought. He eyed him, seeing the Demon's eyes flashing red.

"Well Stetler didn't take you long, did it?" Horatio said. They both
walked up to the small group, extracting their wings. Horatio pulled
out his gun, closed his eyes for a few seconds and the gun morphed
into a sword. The Blade of Heaven and Earth, it was a very powerful
sword, having never missed a blow. Speed stretched out his hand and
the pen on top of the front desk started to move. In seconds it was in
his hand, he closed his eyes and the pen also morphed into a sword.
The Claíomh Solais, this sword glowed with the light of the sun, was
irresistible in battle and had the power to cut their enemies in half.

"You want her," Speed growled. "You have to go through us."

One of Stetler's minions walked up to Speed swinging a sword. Speed
raised his eyebrow, stepped forward, and with one swing took off the
man's head.

"Kill them!" Stetler commanded the other men. "I want that girl!" They
all charged up to Horatio and Speed, weapons raised.

Speed saw the Demon coming his way, fangs showing and his eyes still
flashing. Speed took out a few of Stetler's men without breaking a
sweat. He turned and saw that Horatio had no problem taking a few out
himself. The Demon kept approaching him and he shrugged his shoulders.
He raised his sword and waited. "Let's get it over with."

The Demon growled, "I'm going to kill you and feed your carcass to my children."

"You have children? Are they as ugly as you?" The Demon charged
raising his sword, but instead of blocking the blow Speed just took a
step sideways and the sword missed him completely. In one smooth move
Speed turned around, raised his sword and planted it in the Demons
shoulder.

The Demon was stunned for a moment, turned around anticipating his
next blow. He raised his sword and hit Speed sideways in his leg.
Speed staggered backwards for a moment but regained his balance very
quick and without any hesitation raised his sword again and released
blow after blow, driving the Demon into a corner. He smiled evilly
when he raised his sword for the final blow, taking the Demon's head.
He turned around covered in blood and saw that Stetler was retreating
back towards the exit, "What? You're getting cold feet?"

Stetler growled, "This isn't over."

When he turned he was stopped by two men.

"Goin' somewhere?" The youngest one asked.

"Danny let him go, we'll deal with him later," Speed said.

Danny stepped sideways clearing the way and Stetler practically ran
out of the door. "You guys having fun without us?" He asked.

Horatio and Speed walked over to them, "It's good to see you guys,"
Horatio said.

"Gil called and told us what happened. It didn't take Stetler long to
go after her, did it?" Mac stated.

"No," Speed sighed in frustration. "And she isn't even born yet."

Horatio laid a hand on his mate's shoulder,"Let's call a cleaning crew
to get rid of this mess."

Danny looked around, "Wow that was a hell of a fight." He eyed the
Demon and smirked. "Stetler really thought that ugly mother fucker
could kill you?" he looked at Speed knowing that he was the one who
killed the Demon.

Speed shrugged, "Yeah, well not the first time Stetler made that mistake."

"You think he's going to try it again?" Mac looked at H.

"He won't give up till he gets the girl and kills her." H stated.

"What is his obsession with every new born Angel?" Danny asked shaking his head.

"Because there is the possibility that Angel is the Chosen One." Speed
explained.

TBC.
