Michael raised and hit his staff against the ground while simultaneously uttering the Egyptian magic word for "Protect". A dark green barrier was created in front of the fighting demigods, blocking the brunt of the wave from reaching him and them. It was a powerful force to be sure though, but right now the most it did was simply cause Michael and maybe the two demigods to lose their balance for a few seconds. In the midst of Charlie's charge, Michael lifted the bottom of his staff and thrust it straight into his solar plex to stop him in his tracks and send him backwards. "Did I bloody stutter when I said no one was interfering with this fight?!" Michael assumed a battle ready stance with his crocodilian staff as its ruby eyes began to glow brightly. "You claim to want all this fighting to stop, but none of use here are that stupid to not realize you're just as eager to jump into a fight sith someone! You want to prove your damn strength and 'leadership'?! Ha! Very well then, I'll be your challenger!" Now was a good chance for Michael to display his own prowess in battle.
