"Are you?" Azrael chuckled. "Make a move, *squee!*. Bury me." Raven, glaring, was walking straight up to Azrael. "Raven..." Maya stood up. "Outta this. Stay out!"
Saber went outside, and saw the fight was still on. "Damnit.." Saber stepped between Raven and Azzy. "Anyone know where Moonstone, or that health inspecter is? Maybe they could be a common annoyance for us all, and a reason to get along." Saber tried some light comedy to confuse the fight mood.
Nightshade laughed, choking on her own blood. "I think... instead... I'LL CREMATE YOU!" The tip of her free wing glowed white hot for an instant, igniting the formaldehyde that covered her fur. Engulfed in flames, she rushed at Azrael, intent on burning him along with her.
With a wave of her hoof, Raven pinned Azrael to his side, moving him out of the way. "Son of a..." Maya looked up. "Arch, fire extinguisher, now!"
Her skin blistering and bubbling, Nightshade howled with rage and flew at Az again, just as the flame retardant began pouring down.
Maya stood in front of Nightshade, blocking her charge, no concern for any burns she may have taken on.
Nightshade attempted to push past her, screaming in rage. "Move, you b*tch! It's mine! Mine! Get out of my way!"
Maya grabbed Nightshade with her forelegs and gave her a proper belly-to-belly suplex. She knew it was high time to end this better than anypony. If she had to further break her potential future daughter-in-law to do it, then so be it.
Nightshade's right hind leg snapped as she struck the ground. Bloody, broken, and horrifically burned, she still refused to give up, crawling towards Azrael with murder in her one remaining eye. Silver walked over and looked down at her coldly. "Enough. You have forgotten your training, you have ignored your oath, and you have placed innocent ponies in danger with your foolishness!" With that, he struck her forehead with a vicious blow that knocked her out cold.
*A beam of light shot from the Zeppelin and hit Az. His power was now linked to the beam, it would diminish as the beam did.*
Raven took a deep breath, stood on her hind legs, raised her axe guitar, and drove it into Azrael's head. She knew this wouldn't kill him, but it knocked him out. "Mother bucker..." She down on her flank, her eyes starting to water as she looked back and forth between her uncle and marefriend. "Unbelievable." Maya sighed and checked Nightshade's pulse. "Un-bucking-believable."
*As Azrael was hit the beam flashed, twisted and shattered distorting time and space momentarily, blocking time travel to or from that moment, and sending a bit of Az's power clawing into the side of the Zeppelin, before dissipating altogether.*
Asmo was trying to pull himself over to the non-functioning portal to Equestria. "I can't heal him," Dusty said with a sigh. "Not on my own, at least."
Silver looked down at Nightshade's unconscious form. "She is dying. You do not have the resources here to heal her, if you even would after all of this. I cannot fly with my wing injured." He sighed, and removed Nightshade's crystal communicator necklace. "I am calling for a Guard escort back to Canterlot. I can take Asmo too, if you wish. Decide if you are pressing charges against Nightshade, and bill me for the damage to your bar."
"No..." Azrael sat straight up after a moment, his eyes having returned to normal. "Az?" Maya and Raven both looked surprised at him. "Leave her here," Azrael requested, staring at the ground, a strange sadness to his voice. "And bring Asmodeus to me."
Silver arched an eyebrow. "Absolutely not. I am not leaving my daughter with the pony that was just trying to kill her. Do you take me for a fool?"
"Just. Do it. If you wish her to survive, you will do as I ask. I can heal her, at a reasonable price to myself."
