Oh right, hes psychic! Simon almost felt like slapping himself. "Um..." After a few minutes, he decided there wasn't any way but the truth. "I said you're f**king crazy, that's what! The snake is down yet you STILL want to risk being poisoned or killed. Lets face it, you're a few olives short of a whole martini-"

Simon was only sealing his fate with his jabbering. Lev snarled fiercely- the noise didn't even sound human- and threw the boy, who skidded deep into the sand a few feet away.
An explosive quality had come about Lev, so taken over by rage was he, has he stomped over to where Simon had landed and roughly pulled him up again. "So you think you're better than me?! That you're ALL better than me?! JUST because I may be a little..." Lev trailed off, then spoke again: "unstable...? You hate me because of what I am? Insane? DIFFERENT!?" It was clear that Lev was going off on an insane rant, but judging by the violent explosions in the sand around them it wouldn't be the best to interrupt him.

"Ah! I never said any of that, I don't hate you because you're different...I HATE YOU BECAUSE YOU'VE TRIED TO KILL ME SO MANY TIMES!!!" Simon yelled. He struggled against Lev's grip but to no avail. Panic fueling his next move, his hands became enveloped in psychic energy, forming claws, and pressing them near Lev's neck, dangerously close to cutting the skin.

Lev hissed. "Don't lie, I know what you all think," he spat as he pulled Simon's hands away from his neck. "You may have different reasons on the outside, but at the heart of it I can tell that's why you shun me."

Simon snarled. He hated it when he didn't have the advantage. This man was more confused then he knew. Enraged, Simon pulled his hands away from the man before sinking his claws deeply into Lev's shoulder. "Let. Me. GO."

Lev didn't flinch one millimeter as Simon's claws went through his sweater and began to draw blood. He narrowed his eyes, and he began to concentrate all his anger right on this boy's cocky little head- he was readying to blow Simon to pieces. "I'll do that as soon as you're dead," he spat a deceptively quiet reply at Simon.

It was a pure battle for dominance right then. The only thing that was there to the two of them was each other. Simon was focusing against Lev's energies, in an attempt to backfire Lev's psychodetonator power, a lost cause to be sure. "Not if I kill you first!" Desperate, Simon made a stab at Lev's chest.

Lev gave a noise of surprise as Simon's psi-claw caught in his sternum and painfully drew blood again. He lapsed in his concentration for a moment, all of the built-up energy dissipating away from its target and towards the air around them.

Simon took this opportunity to his advantage, removing his claws and redirecting the loose destructive energies into the sand beneath them, blasting the two away from each other. Simon landed a few feet away, his head spinning from having just been tossed across the sand like a skipping rock across water. He looked up; Lev was across the sand, seemingly unconscious while the ground around the man was beginning to turn crimson.
Simon grinned, glad to have the advantage back. He prepared to get up, but stopped. Both his legs were being held down by something, it appeared to be nothing at first, but a faint icy-looking energy Simon realized was holding him down. Across the sand, Lev was starting to get up. If Simon hadn't been afraid before, he was terrified now. His breathing becoming rapid, he yelled, "What are you... a demon?!"

Azuhoatl had been watching, dumbfounded, as the two psychics clashed. When the sand had exploded, however, he scurried as fast as he could to shelter behind a rock carving near the pyramid. This had proved to be quite difficult, as he was still suffering the effects of the Censor-stamp. The Phoenix swooped low to land behind his small shelter, and the Censor-Jaguar cowered behind the stone carving as well. They had all seen the damage caused when Mallaidh had gotten angry and decided to go blow things up, but never had they seen the damage wrought by two psychics fighting.
The Phoenix looked to Azuhoatl and trilled a few rapid notes.
"Yesssss, I will be lucky if there'sssss anything left to protect at thisssss rate." Azuhoatl replied. The Phoenix trilled some more, a note of amusement entering it's song.
"No, don't interccccccede jusssst yet," Azuhoatl responded, a grin forming on his serpentine face, "Wait until one'ssss jussssst about to get his assssstral projection desssstroyed."

Lev staggered to his feet, shaking his head to clear it. He was losing blood, and quickly; but that didn't keep him from walking slowly over to Simon. An expression was on his face- but to say it was hateful would be an understatement. You could almost feel the hate in the man's eyes boring through your mind like a hot iron poker. He didn't even pause when the word 'demon' left Simon's mouth, but kept walking towards the struggling boy.
"You know.... many people have called me that..." he said absentmindedly as he pulled Simon up by the collar of his sweater. The edge of his mouth was curling upwards and a glint of happiness- no, pleasurable revenge- had entered his eye, adding a disconcerting shade of amusement to his venomous look. "I've always wanted to do nothing more than what I'm going to do now, to them."
And with no warning, he suddenly caused a small explosion in Simon's chest.
(VIOLENCE DB do you suppose this'll have to get moved to the mature board for this??)

Simon gasped at the sudden pain in his chest. He clutched a shaking hand on his sweater, wondering what had just blown up. Blood rose up in his throat.

"Yes, I suppose that must hurt..." Lev replied to Simon's panicked gasp. Then he threw the boy away, across the sand, where he skidded to a halt yet again.
With a tired sigh, he began to walk in the opposite direction across the sand, towards the coliseum.

Pain. There wasn't any other words to describe it, but pain. He had to get out of here, now, but he now knew this mans intentions, he had to stop him, but not like this. There was something he could do to heal himself, what was it? He didn't have time to think before he blacked out.
Squidy came up shortly afterwards, cradling the boy in it's tentacles and bring him over to where the phoenix, Azuhoatl, and the jaguar were and letting out a deep moan, as if it was asking for them to help him.

Azuhoatl took Simon from the Kraken. Laying the wounded and unconcious boy onto the sand, the Guardian of the Pyramid turned to glare at the retreating form of Lev.
"I do not like that human," he hissed quietly, then turned to the Phoenix, "I will warn the other guardiansssss. The Kraken will warn the other Censorsssss. You take the boy to The Creator in Library Ssssspire. She will know what to do." The Phoenix sang a few notes and wrapped its wings around Simon's form. It let out a single, piercing note and the two disappeared in a flash of flames. Azuhoatl nodded and then turned to the Jaguar-Censor.
"Sssssstay," the Serpent hissed to the animal-Censor, who promptly sat down on the sand and nodded with determination. Then Azuhoatl himself disappeared into the pyramid. In no time a large red beam of light shone across the sand, pointing directly towards the pristine central tower.
((The Phoenix just took Simon to Mallaidh in the center of Library Spire. What do you want to do with that; either create a new thread in the Inside the Mind section or continue it here?))
