"What? Unsealed Kro'Han?" Ashton yelled in horror.
As long as Kro'Han was sealed, they had an opportunity to contain him, but Astaroth had just freed the worst precursor in history! The slight possibility that Ashton had of winning the battle against Kro'Han was crushed into nothingness by Astaroth.
Ashton, unable to contain his anger any longer, lunged towards the panel to try and stop Kro'Han from getting to Earth. But as he did, Astaroth grabbed Ashton by the shoulder and threw him backwards, placing himself between Ashton and the panel.
"What the hell are you doing!?" Ashton yelled again.
"Stopping you," Astaroth replied, turning his aura into a sword around his arms.
"You fucker! Have you gone insane!?" Ashton barked at Astaroth, who smiled bitterly.
Ashton didn't know why Astaroth had sided with Kro'Han, and Astaroth knew Ashton was too stubborn to hear anything he had to say. It wasn't like it would make any difference, either.
