Ally hit the demon a few more times, this time in pure human state because she wasn't being slammed into the walls anymore.  Now that she had stayed in her human form rather than the constant titanium or constant switching, the pain really began to sink in.  The scrapes on her back became for prominent as she struck the demon.  She sucked in air through her teeth, trying her best to ignore the stinging and ache of her back.

Then, the demon began to grow in size.  Percy began to grow older.  Ally didn't know how much longer she could keep the demon distracted- she desperately needed help.  She heard pounding footsteps running towards her and thought it might be the day convict, but when she looked up she saw something better.  The lizard man was running in her direction.  Ally felt relieved to have the help, but then the metal boy began yelling at thr lizard man, who stopped and turned his attention to Percy.

[i]I-is he gonna kill him?[/i] Ally thought, almost frantically when the lizard man changed course for Percy.  Was that the only way to end the fight?  Suddenly the lizard man chomped down on the supernatural cord connecting the two.  Ally's jaw dropped, but once her shock dissipated, she attempted to give the demon a few more elbow strikes before momentarily retreating.  She was now about fifteen feet away, sitting on her haunches, trying to recover from the major loss of energy.  Her breathing was deep, almost gasping, and her arms felt like the heaviest noodles on earth.  Despite this, she tried to keep her eyes on the scene in front of her, as ready as she could be to dodge or go back to help, even though she wasn't sure she could go titanium once more.
