Archon locked eyes onto Alpha, nickering in disappointment. "Whats wrong Alpha? You can't fight me alone? You need your puppets to do all your fighting for you. You're a coward to the core. Even with your immortality you still hide behind others and half measures." Archon said circling some.
Archon shook his head "You'll never come close to beating me with that resolve."

"That's an outdated viewpoint." Alpha says simply, right as one of the husks darts forward at a speed they hadn't possessed before. It swung a heavy sword to Archon's midsection.

"And yet." Archon started before locking blades with the darting puppet which he proceeded to flip over himself and reenter a stance.
"You cannot hope to surpass it." He harshly let out a breath and pivoted in place, in an effort to keep sight of all the attackers. "I'm no mere knight holding onto some obsolete ideal. You've already killed me once, and even death cannot stop me."

Alpha was unnerved at that statement, what did he mean by that? "You sound like some old traditionalist." He says, stepping forward as the other four husks dart towards Archon just as quickly as the others.

Archon charged at one of the puppets, swinging his sword to lock blades with them. He kicked off the ground sideways in an effort to lever the puppet away from himself, and then with the puppets all within one sight, shattered his shardblade. The steel motes advancing like buckshot into the small crowd of balefire slaves.
His blade reformed. "Loyalist." Archon corrected.

The husks were hit by the pieces of shardblade, but they were not defeated, instead only hesitating a moment before going on the offensive again, bleeding an eery green mist. Alpha then stepped in, going at Solaris with his bladed claws between the assaults of his husks.

Archon tried to keep up with the flurry of attacks but one of Alpha's claws caught him in the leg. It was a painful but non-threatening wound. He let off a concussive wave and as one of the puppets flew back he stabbed them in the chest, quickly pulling his sword out before they could explode or something.
Archon disengaged a healthy distance his body bobbing up and down. "I have to know. Whats the price for your freedom? Is it merely the destruction of equestria? Or is your slavemaster not so easily satisfied. Do you even HAVE a way out?"

Alpha shuddered at that statement. "Just how much do you know?" He asks in surprise, going for another strike. Seeing Archon bleed was motivating. It meant he could be killed. Meanwhile the remaining husks continued to assault the knight relentlessly.

Archon split his blade and in a storm of blows and slashes defended himself from all sides, only the seldom hit getting through. He disengaged again, dragging his blade around him in a circle, sparks flying.
"I'll let you in on a secret. My group has protected Equesria for generations against all threats by way of a silent blade. We've seen what Balefire does first hand. We slaughtered a tribe of Zebras who originally made the substance. We know the being in the fire is pure evil, offering promises of power or glory. We know it has a messenger in the real world and we know that the Zebra's tribal leadership was enthralled by it." He explained, evenly in between unrelenting sword blows.
"Are you even a willing slave?" He asked pointedly.

All of these things Alpha didn't wamt to hear. He knew about those dumb zebra and how easily they were cut down. And he didn't need Archon to tell him the Deciever was evil he knew that himself. He knew that the moment she threatened his child and lover. "Shut up!" Alpha shouts in annoyance going for a slicing hit at Archon's head.

Archon's helmet was thicker than other pieces of armor. The claw hit his head and Archon wrapped his leg around Alpha's appendage, drew him in close, leg choking around his neck. He dragged Alpha away from his puppets his sword extended and keeping them busy as he dragged Alpha a few good feet back. He whispered then.
"Do not bite down on that tooth. The creature can hear us through the puppets right?" He asked rhetorically as he did his best to keep Alpha away from their advance.
"I know not if you do this out of need or if you yourself are evil. If you aren't then let me help."

Alpha found himself in a rather strange predicament. For the record, a chokehold was never comfortable to be on the receiving end of, even if it was meant to just look like one. He didn't know what to do but... He knew he needed Archon's help. "Their heads, knight." He mutters under his breath, trying not to be heard as he visibly struggled against Archon's grasp.

Archon stayed silent and after about a moment yelled in pain and threw Alpha away from him. He limped a bit, before charging at the puppets, his blade surging and flashing as he twirled them around his body like a hurricane.
Then it all stopped, four separate blades stuck into four separate heads. He ripped his motes out and retreated, awaiting for their inevitable explosion.

Each of the husks would be hit, and each of them would burst into green flame individually, leaving behind only small craters where the concrete they stood on ceased to exist. Alpha held his neck and looked as his watchers were finally gone. He stands and looks at Archon, half tempted to try and kill him while he didn't expect it. But the better part of him knew he needed him. "We don't have long..." He says.

Archon let out a breath and half expected Alpha to attack him again. He sheathed his blade and turned to Alpha.
"Then start talking." he quipped stepping around some. "We both know this needs to end."
