Chapter 20: The Battle

Once both sides collided, I.M.P., Stolas, Via, Striker, and Jamie immediately had the upper hand. The army didn't have training like the others did. They soon split into teams to cover more ground; Stolas and Via on one, Blitzø and Loona on another, Moxxie and Millie as a third, and Striker and Jamie as a fourth.

Striker and Jamie were back-to-back, taking on their section of the army like nothing.

"J, I gotta know. How'd you manage to convince these guys to help me?" Striker asked as he shot more demons.

"I told the truth of what went down and also pointed out they had the badassery to take Stella down," Jamie answered as she swung her sword at a demon.

"So, they believed you, even after everything I did to them?" he wondered as she turned over on his back and got another one.

"They have their doubts," she started, he dipped her out of danger before shooting more of them, then brought her up to where she spun to get more, then she added, "But they trust me; they just want to see proof."

"Makes sense," Striker admitted, noticed something, then informed, "I'll be right back."

He then ran toward Stolas and Via. While they were fighting others off, they didn't notice one come up at them. When he was about to get them, Striker flipped over it, landed between it and the Goetias, getting their attention, then he shot it, killing it. Striker then faced the royals, seeing they were shocked but kept their guards up to him.

"I made a promise to Jamie. And I'll keep it," he told them before heading back.

The two were taken back by it, but they soon rejoined the fight.

Jamie and Striker were back-to-back again as they were surrounded. They looked at each other and nodded, thinking the same thing before singing and taking on more of the army.

[JAMIE:]
"You'll never take us alive"
[STRIKER:]
"We swore that death will do us part
They'll call our crimes a work of art"
[JAMIE:]
"You'll never take us alive"
[STRIKER:]
"We'll live like spoiled royalty, lovers and partners"
[BOTH:]
"Partners in crime
Partners in crime"

They then held hands and he swung her to where she sliced the heads off of five demons then landed with a spin, her back at Striker's again.

[STRIKER:]
"This, the tale of reckless love, living a life of crime on the run,
I brush to a gun to paint these states green and red,
Everybody, freeze"
[JAMIE:]
"Nobody, move"
[STRIKER:]
"You might as well give it up"
[JAMIE:]
"Or we will shoot"
[STRIKER:]
"Empty out your guns and me and my doll will be on our way"

[JAMIE:]
"Our paper faces flood the streets"
[STRIKER:]
"And if the heat comes close enough to burn then we'll play with fire 'cause..."

[JAMIE:]
"You'll never take us alive"
[STRIKER:]
"We swore that death will do us part
They'll call our crimes a work of art"
[JAMIE:]
"You'll never take us alive"
[STRIKER:]
"We'll live like spoiled royalty, lovers and partners"
[BOTH:]
"Partners in crime
Partners in crime"

"Oh, just try and catch us!" Striker taunted.

"Bet you can't!" Jamie did the same.

[STRIKER:]
"Here we find our omnipotent outlaws fall behind the grind tonight,
Left unaware that the lone bitch princess won't go down without a fight"
[JAMIE:]
"Where we gonna go?"
[STRIKER:]
"She's got us pinned!"
[JAMIE:]
"Baby, I'm a little scared"
[STRIKER:]
"Now, don't you quit"
[JAMIE:]
"She's sounded the alarm; I hear her backup closing in"

[STRIKER:]
"Our paper faces flood the streets,
And if the heat comes close enough to burn then we're burning this place to the ground 'cause..."

[JAMIE:]
"You'll never take us alive"
[STRIKER:]
"We swore that death will do us part
They'll call our crimes a work of art"
[JAMIE:]
"You'll never take us alive"
[STRIKER:]
"We'll live like spoiled royalty, lovers and partners"
[BOTH:]
"Partners in crime"

"This is getting ridiculous. You might as well give up, we have the place surrounded. Put your weapons down, put your weapons down!" Stella remarked then ordered, "Ready, men? Aim...Fire!"

Guns then fired and they braced for cover before resuming the fight.

[JAMIE:]
"The skies are black with lead-filled rain"
[STRIKER:]
"A morbid painting on display"
[JAMIE:]
"This is the night the young love died"
[STRIKER:]
"Buried at each other's side"
[JAMIE:]
"You'll never take us alive"
[STRIKER:]
"We swore that death would do us part
And we could haunt you in the dark"
[JAMIE:]
"You'll never take us alive"
[STRIKER:]
"We live as ghosts among these streets,
Lovers and partners"
[BOTH:]
"Partners in crime
Partners in crime
Partners in crime"
