"We aren't going to last long unless we do something about him!"
Pen hears Vaggie say through his tablet, the "him" in question being Adam. First man, and seemingly the final opponent for one Alastor the Radio demon.
Though.
Considering Astor, his shade, was still actively participating in battle with the "chickens" then the serpent had a different guess. Instead of a duel to the death, things definitely ended with Alastor taking a hasty retreat. They probably wouldn't see him again any time soon...
Now, Adam was blasting them with his "holy light". Victorious and vicious.
"Of course....!"
There was only one thing left to do- well, two things. Actually.
The first was saying Good Bye.
Luckily, Astor wasn't far away. General Pentious caught him just as the shade fell one more angel, her screams as she fell to the ground far below echoed as he grabbed the shade about the shoulders and pulled him around.
Pen then dipped the crazed, blood thirsty deer he adored so much and gave him a final desperate kiss. It wasn't too hard or too soft, just the right amount of pressure to convey his emotions- too many to say in the little time they had left.
He allowed it to linger for just a few moments of the battle, sounds of fighting and explosions all around them, and then it was over. And Pentious was pulling back.
"Astor, I love you. Please always remember that."
And then he was gone, slithering away as fast as he could because he could not run to meet his doom aboard his air ship.
"Eggs, activate thrusters! And charge the death ray!"
He hoped Astor would forgive him, someday.
