Malvettix twisted, and as his coat followed, it extended again, forming blades of darkness that coiled up, blocking both slashes that came at him. The air sang with the impact.
"Right to business it is." Malvettix eased into a simple curved smile. "I suppose you're desperate to make amends for your cowardice."
"Shut the hell up!" Driving his blade down, Matt's left fist shot out, smashing into Malvettix's face. The strike pushed the dark one off of the Firebird's roof, bringing his blades with him.
"Damn it, this is just what I need!" Hugo snapped, jostling about as Helena quickly exited the car with the Mettaur in her hands. "Lemme down, it's time to kick this guy's ass!"
Malvettix landed on his feet evenly, and spread his arms. His shadow extended underneath him, growing in size like a plagueof its own free will. From the inky blackness, nightmarish creatures like snakes rose and launched at R.D. and Matt, brandishing wicked fangs.
