CHAPTER TWENTY-THREE OF DOOM
"This should go quickly enough," Jack said.

"Not as easily as you think," Caitlyn said. "You're outnumbered two to one and without Louis you can't trap us in nightmares like you did to Rod and Aqua."

"True," Jack admitted. "But you, Dana, are unarmed, you have zero teamwork abilities, and frankly, Caitlyn, I am much stronger than you."

"Can we cut the chatter and get on with it?" Dana asked.

Jack and Caitlyn nodded in unison. Jack unsheathed his sword with a whisper of "Tactus Aureos," matched by Caitlyn drawing her hammer with a mutter of "Sfyrí."

Jack aimed Tactus Aureos at Dana, who immediately dodged and hit him beneath the chin.

"That was awesome," Caitlyn commended. "Say, you want to join Team Triangle?"

"Hell no!" was Dana's response.

"You got in a lucky shot," Jack said. "Now it stops."

He slashed at Dana again - a lower swipe that she couldn't duck. Jack's blade ended up hitting Sfyrí instead. Caitlyn swung again and knocked the sword out of his hands.

Dana picked up the sword off the ground. "It's not Kóvo̱, but it'll do."

Caitlyn swung Sfyrí around behind Jack, knocking him off his feet. Dana put Jack's sword in front of his torso.

"Now..." Caitlyn said. "What was that about having zero teamwork? And about Dana being unarmed? And about you being stronger than me?"

"What should we do with him?" Dana wondered.

"You keep him there," Caitlyn suggested. "I'll try to wake up Rod and Aqua, then they can put him somewhere where he won't cause any trouble."

"You forgot something, demigod," Dana pointed out. "Louis. He's going to destroy your teammates."

Caitlyn smiled. "I didn't forget. I just know that Louis doesn't stand a chance against Rune and Roy."
