The Assassin knew what this meant, and it also knew it couldn't do a thing about it. Axel had put it in charge of this girl. And now the girl who was kind enough to give it a name and a sense of purpose was being attacked by something that looked like its Master, but most assuredly wasn't. It let forth a few panic chirps. "Girl, girl! Sassy can't get through..."
Then, another voice. Like Axel's but much, much more sinister. "No help, little girl." A black portal opened and Axel stepped out, looking much more monstrous than before. He wasted no time and grabbed the girl by the throat; enough to restrain her but not to choke her. The fires leapt and danced in response to his growing excitement.
