Alexander grabs the bars of his cage and pulls them apart like fists full of straw as Hezikiah and his spider pass through the bars as though they weren’t even there. Gilles de Rais steps back in surprise. “You two are more powerful than I thought; you will make a much greater sacrifice than expected.”
With that he grabs a braquemard from a nearby table and flings it at Hezikiah, who easily dodges the sword. Alexander-- now in his armor as Aegis, Son of Olympus-- dashes forward, delivering a solid punch to de Rais’ face and sends him off his feet into the stone wall behind him. De Rais leaps back at Aegis in an attempt to grapple with him. Aegis gets a grip on de Rais and launches him through the ceiling and into the room above. He then jumps through the hole after him.
Hezikiah runs up the stairs to an adjacent room, where he is confronted by the four men from earlier. He immediately alters the vibrations of his body for a moment, emitting a radiation that brings the men to their knees. He grabs a small lamp from a nearby nightstand and changes its vibration to become extremely unstable matter.
Suddenly Aegis smashes through the wall as if thrown. Hezikiah hurtles the lamp through the hole into the room from which Aegis came and a large explosion rocks the house.
Aegis jumps to his feet and dashes into the room with Hezikiah behind him. The walls are destroyed on the far side of the room and de Rais is lying on the lawn just outside. De Rais jumps to his feet in anger and lets out a deep roar as he transforms into a beast that looks not unlike a werewolf.
Aegis and the beast continue to fight; punching and clawing at eachother. After struggling for a few moments, de Rais realizes that he needs to make more sacrifices to gain the power needed to defeat these two and throws Aegis back towards the house. He begins to run towards the car in the gravel driveway. Hezikiah grabs a handful of the gravel and launches it at the car. It explodes into an inferno that sends the beast reeling.
Just then, a car comes speeding from around the other side of the house and de Rais runs towards it as it circles closer. Aegis and Hezikiah begin to chase him but the distance between them is too great and he dives into the open back window of the car as it halts momentarily. The car then speeds away, leaving Hezikiah and Aegis with Gilles de Rais’ mansion burning behind them.
