Ryan stepped around the corner and said, “I’ll save you all the trouble of trying to find me, I’m right here.”
“And just who are you?” Lilith bellowed.
“I am the slayer that you seek.”
“If you truly are the slayer answer a question for me before I destroy you.”
“Ask what you want I may or may not answer.”
“What have we done to you, why are you killing all of my brothers and sisters?”
“I’ll answer that one, you are a plague on the earth, you make false promises to human beings to get them to follow you which really means to follow Lucifer. The you collect by stealing the souls of the people. That is why I am doing what I am doing.”
“Then know this slayer that I will end your quest for I am going to kill you.”
Lilith stood up and somehow made a chair fly at Ryan and he easily side stepped it. The other fallen moved out of the way of the what was going to be a knock down fight between Lilith and the slayer. Lilith picked up the table and threw it at Ryan, Ryan moved to his right to dodge the table but it caught him on the shoulder and caused the shoulder to go numb.
Ryan knew Lilith was supposed to have superhuman strength but he didn’t expect her to be this strong. Lilith leaped at Ryan trying to take advantage of the table hitting him. Ryan was shocked at her speed and when she landed she hit Ryan across the jaw knocking him back into the wall. While the blows from Lilith we starting to have an effect on him he was not to the point that he could not fight back.
Though Ryan had been raised never to hit a woman he realized that she was not really a woman but evil intent on destroying him. Ryan managed to get his feet between him and Lilith he pushed her off of him and he quickly regained his feet. Lilith charged him again, Ryan sidestepped her charge and tripped her with his leg and she slammed head first into the wall. Momentarily stunned Lilith turned to Ryan and showed fangs that looked like they belonged to a vampire. It was then that Ryan remembered it was said she was the mother of all vampires.
While Ryan and Lilith were fighting the other six female fallen managed to slide past the fight and ran down the hall and they headed for the entrance of the temple. They found that the explosion that they had felt earlier had blocked the entrance. Amy remembered that there was an escape tunnel in Lilith’s bedroom. They ran for the bedroom and quickly found the tunnel and they escaped the temple and came out at the cave. Maria watch in shock as the fallen angels took flight and escaped from Babylon.
Lilith made another attempt at charging Ryan and she expected him to try to dodge her again and she altered her direction but Ryan was not there and she slammed into the wall again. She turned and shook her head trying to clear the stars in her eyes caused by the impact with the wall. She looked up in time to see Ryan’s elbow come down across her head. The force of the impact of Ryan’s elbow caused Lilith to fall to the floor. Lilith managed to get to her knees and looked at Ryan and saw the sword in his hands, her eyes widened as the sword came down and cut her head off. Her head rolled across the room and burst into flames as did her body. Ryan thought one down six more to go.
Ryan grabbed his back pack and started to place C-4 charges throughout the temple and started making his way out of the tunnel, about half way out Ryan placed more C-4 charges in the tunnel. Ryan finished placing the charges and made his way to the mouth of the cave. He detonated the charges just as he cleared the mouth. The ground shook under their feet and dust and dirt erupted from the mouth of the cave. After the dust and dirt settled Ryan re entered the cave and found the cave completely collapsed blocking any entrance or escape from the cave or the temple.
“Looks like that will take care of the temple now it will be a matter of taking care of the fallen.” Ryan said.
“Now we have to find out where they will be all over again though.”
“I don’t think that will be hard, between the female fallen and Mehen looking for us I think we will find their location pretty quick.”
