Anya drew Veronica in her arms, lending her strength to help fight it, using her healing powers, doing the best she could to heal Veronica from the inside out, trying to flush out the Goat's possession, while keeping her gaze on the Goat, who was coming closer. "Just hang on Veronica," she urged. She pushed more healing power into Veronica, trying to get it to work faster, till she'd have no choice but to fight the goat. "You are strong, I believe in you!"

Phoebe spread out her fingers, her flames growing bigger, stronger. She thrust her hand outward, toward her attacker, the flames wrapping around him, engulfing the beast. She made it hotter, till she was sure he was completely destroyed.

Veronica continued to scream and convulse as the healing power of Anya began to flow through her. In her minds eye all she saw was darkness; she could feel herself trapped, caught between two imposing forces. Veronica fought with all she could until she let out one final and shattering scream as the Black Goat grabbed Anya by the hair and pulled her. "Not so fast, my child.", he whispered to her.

Anya shrieked when he grabbed her by the hair, pulling her away from Veronica, being forced to break off contact from Veronica. "You really think you can stop me," Anya asked. She muttered a few words under her breath, something in Chinese, a barrier forming around Veronica, it would keep him out, while the barrier used her healing power to continue working on Veronica. Then her body took the form of the panther, letting it have control, she will protect Johnny and Veronica, this bastard wasn't getting in her way. Growling low in her throat, she lunged for him, teeth and claws bared and seeking flesh.

Trace moved quickly, quicker than the Goat could tell. His hand moved to the holster and quickly pulled out Hellstorm. Trace fired the weapon, sending a bullet straight through the kneecap of the Black Goat. The Goat fell to his knees with a scream. Blood poured from the wound as Trace fired another shot into the Goat's shoulder.
"Why Traciel? I thought we had an agreement."
Trace grinned and walked towards the Goat until he was standing over him, his weapon pointed directly at his skull.
"Here's the funny thing." Trace said. "I Lied."

The Black Goat shoved the panther Anya off him, as he rose. Holding onto the side of his neck, he noticed something he had never noticed before... a wound.Seeing the quick moment, the Black Goat placed a spell over Veronica and freed her from the barrier Anya set.

Anya landed on her side when he pushed her off. Leaping to her feet, she rushed for him, putting herself in between him and Veronica, even as he broke the barrier. She barred her teeth, knowing his strength was greater, but it didn't stop her from protecting. She was pleased that she'd managed to wound him, but it wouldn't be enough. She let out a roar, running for him, and lashing out with her claws.

Behind her, Veronica rose, slightly wobbly as she said, "It's time, my love."
The Black Goat, still tending to his wound, smiled at her as he offered out his hand.
Veronica smiled back as she collected some of the water that dripped from the side in her hand and threw it to him as she recited a Latin phrase.
The Black Goat stumbled back as he cried out in agony. Patches of fur began to sprout over his body as he tried to collect himself.
"Anya, Bremman, get him!", Veronica said. "He's once again mortal, but he is still quite strong!" Veronica sunk to her knees and slipped out of consciousness. Johnny quickly motioned to her and covered Veronica with his blazer.

"Why are you doing this Trace? What do you gain?" The Goat screamed at him. The shadowy bubble that the Goat had created kept the sound from traveling, and thanks to the spells he had placed when he entered also stopped the Goat from escaping.
"It's not what I gain Goat, it's what I get rid off."
Trace could see it in the Goat's eyes. An emotion that the Goat had never felt before was now all over his face. The Black Goat was afraid.
"I get rid of you. I promise you Goat that I would kill you, and while you've been helpful that doesn't mean I dont want rid of you. You see, you fell right into place, exactly where I wanted you."
Trace could see the change in expression as the Goat finally realised what Trace had done.
"I urged you to split yourself into four and you did. And we both know that when you split yourself you split your power in half each time. You made yourself weak Goat. Even a mortal can do some damage to you now, and guess what." Trace said with a smirk as the full effects of Trace's manipulations became clear. "After what you did to Veronica you've got one very angry mortal after you."
"You tricked me." The Goat said quietly. "You sent me after Veronica so that her foolish friends would come after me. So I'd be forced to split myself to deal with them all."
"I dont like the word trick," Trace told the Goat. "Lets call it... manipulated."

Bremmen had enough watching the fight. He wanted to join in.
"Anya, Bremman, get him!"
Both of Bremmen's arms turned diamond again, but this time his fingers developed razor sharp talons, also made out of translucent diamond.
"With pleasure." He said, his tone evil.
He rushed towards the Black Goat with steady hands. When he was close enough, he slashed his claws at him.

Anya shifted to her human form, she pushed her hair behind her, then grabbed her knife. She watched Bremmen, thinking he would be able to handle the Goat, better than she could.
Unless she was needed, she went to Veronica's side, and started to heal her again.

Johnny wrapped his arms around Veronica and asked, "Roth, what did you do to him."
Veronica looked up Johnny and said, rather coldly, "Don't talk."
Johnny watched Anya approach them and rose before her, saying, "Take care of her. I'm gonna help Bremman finish off the Goat."
Johnny reached for his guitar case and withdrew his guitar shaped shotgun and began firing at the Goat.
Combined with Johnny's shots and Bremman's claws, the Black Goat slowly weakened.

Anya knelt beside Veronica. She raised her hands over Veronica's body, using her healing powers to finish up with Veronica's healing. "Everything will be okay," she stated softly. "I swear it Veronica."

Blood was now forming a puddle beneath the Black Goat. It wasn't just his own wounds that were causing damage, but the other battles he was involved in, and from the looks of things, he was losing them all.
"Does it hurt Goat?" Trace said as he fired a third shot, this one cutting through the other kneecap of the Goat, who let out another piercing scream. "You see, I've been waiting to do this ever since I got my memories back."
Trace placed Hellstorm to the forehead of the Black Goat, who could only cough out "Just do it."
"Why would I want to make it quick?" Trace said. He placed a hand on the shadowy wall, which sent ripples out into the bubble, which slowlly dissolved around them. Trace manipulated the shadows, creating thousands of tiny needles pointed directly at the Goat.
"These wont kill you, but they will damn well hurt."
And with that Trace sent the thousand shadowed spikes directly at the Goat. Another piercing scream echoed throughout the room.

Johnny stood back and aimed carefully as he continued shooting the Goat. Those words Veronica said to him, "Don't talk", resounded painfully clear inside his head. Johnny stepped back and fired one another shot to the Goat.
The Goat took the shot as he motioned off Bremman and howled into the air. Slowly, fur began to cover his body as both his legs transformed into hooves. He ripped off his shirt to reveal the bare chest of a well sculpted human that had been shot multiple times.
The Black Goat charged before Johnny and took him down with a thunderous tackle across the gut, sending Johnny flying several feet back. Johnny scrambled to his feet to reach for his guitar shaped shotgun, but in one of his last moments of power, the Black Goat crushed it simply with all the force from his hove.
"You are John of The Cross,", an angelic presence sang inside him. "A murderous man, Roaming this land You kill all you can
A killer for the love of killing And blood shall fill this land Built your throne Out of death and bone Swear to god no man shall stand"
