Celestia was off, and now Excel was alone again. He was used to being alone, really. Even his master had often left him alone for hours on end every day. Though he had to admit that it did feel a bit lonely. No one came at the hallway he was protecting right away. Though after a minute or so one of the lizards came running at him from a distance. Only good. "Good, I can fend off one at least." He spoke to himself, taking out his sword. "Puny human! I will show you how superior my kind is!" The lizard exclaimed. Excel just smirked and charged at the...man? It looked like a man at least.

The lizard had no weapons on him. Instead he had razor sharp claws and thick skin. So when they clashed, Excels sword was stopped by his enemy's bare hand. He jumped backwards a little, frowning. "I guess a normal sword won't work on you." He commented. "Guess I'll make it a special one then." The same blue energy from his hands started to creep up the blade until it was entirely engulfed. Then he attacked once again. And once again the Lizard blocked with a wide grin. "Even that won't work on me girl!" "I'm a guy, and we'll see!" Excel exclaimed, putting more force into his attacks as he swung at the lizard twice more. Both times were blocked by the man's hand, however...

"Argh!" The green one exclaimed as he pulled his hand back after the last attack. "Impossible! You cut through my skin?! What kind of magic is that?" "It doesn't have a type." Excel answered. "It's just magic energy." The lizard frowned, and now decided to attack as well. His arms were very muscular and he was at least 30 cm taller than the boy. But this was where Excel's speed came in. "Too slow..." He mused, dodging below the lizard's swipe, and countering with a stab at the man's side. He dodged too, but unlike Excel he was still hit. The sword made a long cut along the lizard's side. Both backed up a little, staring each other down. "Find another target and you'll survive, otherwise I can't guarantee your life." Excel spoke. "I'm not afraid of puny humans, even if they're as slippery as an eel!" Came as an answer before the lizard charged again.
