INT. THE CELESTIAL - HALLWAY - MORNING

The two groups have reunited in a hallway leading to the central stairwell. A group of Vaanti, led by Varyyn, bar their path. Craig, Sean, Estela, Michelle, and the twins lead the charge toward them, wielding a variety of weapons. The others hang back, looking for an opening.

Then Aleister starts pushing through the group back the way they came, suddenly frantic.

JAKE: Slytherin, the stairs are that way, thought you were supposed to be smart-

ALEISTER: Grace! Where is she?!

Everyone looks around, surprised to suddenly realize Grace is not with them. Ian turns and peers past Aleister to see a figure in a familiar orange sweater at the far end of the hallway, getting dragged through a side door by two Vaanti.

IAN: There! They’ve got her!

SEAN: Nobody gets left behind. Nobody.

ALEISTER: Oh, thank heavens. CHARGE!

Aleister sprints toward Grace and her captors, the others close behind, their former foes forgotten. They reach the room, and one of the Vaanti slam the door in Aleister’s face, locking it.

ALEISTER: Hmph. Pardon me!

He backs up and kicks the door as hard as he can, powerful enough to knock it off of its hinges. Sean and Craig rush forward toward the two Vaanti inside, but Aleister holds out his arms, stopping them.

ALEISTER: If you two don’t mind, I would like to deal with these ruffians myself.

Everyone steps back, watching in astonishment as Aleister steps toward the two Vaanti and Grace. Without breaking stride, he scoops up an iron fireplace poker from the suite’s fireplace and deftly smashes it over the kneecap of the nearest Vaanti, VILOKO. Viloko brings up his own weapon, a longsword, but Aleister parries several blows and spins out of reach, using his momentum to deliver a strike to his foe’s wrist. Viloko drops his blade, and Aleister finishes the fight with a final hit to the enemy’s head, knocking him unconscious. Everyone stares at Aleister, dumbfounded.

ALEISTER: What? I’ll have you know I was the top junior fencer in England.

ESTELA: I’ll deal with the other Hostile-

ALEISTER: No need. It appears she has already done so.

On the other side of the room, Grace stands over the unconscious body of the second Vaanti, holding the fallen warrior’s own club in her hand. She drops the weapon and looks up at Aleister.

GRACE: You... you came back for me!

ALEISTER: Unnecessarily, it would seem.

JAKE: Damn. Everyone’s just full of surprises today.

SEAN: Alright, we all together? The roof, let’s go!
