John put the lit cigarette in his mouth and said “I was trying to quit the smoking...but thanks to you bolks I will have to start all over...” he pulled from his pocket the sphere of magic he had been working on in the cab. “Now this little beauty is a spell I made up during my younger years...back when I had no fear and no rules...this baby is made to wipe out the nasty things...and all I need is a seal...oh look. 

The shadows moved suddenly and the pair were surrounded in a seal that Serena’s shadows had made in the darkness. “A lovely seal right there...that way I don’t blow up the whole block...a cylinder up and down...I’ll take you two straight to hell myself...” he threw the ball into the circle and it floated above the pair as it started to get bigger now. John put his hands in his pockets and said “any last word? You can’t break the seal in time before that blows...but if you end up in hell in enough pieces to speak...tell everyone down there that the Phoenix is under the protection of the hellblazer and the her shadow guardian...” 

Serena waited inside the door, her shadows wrapping around the walls to make sure the magic didn’t go past that point.
