Flight from a man is a miracle, yet the punishment must be carried out.

Thin lines of red, irritated, scratches slid across the black empty pupils of the created Gabriel. The Birdman in his blue feather garb hobbled to the second center rope trying to test the extent of his injured leg. There was a change in Gabriel's face, the acceptance had left the lines in his skin, replacing them with cold, dead, inhuman expression. Making his fists like jagged stone rocks, Sands moved toward the Birdman.
The blue plumage shook as the Birdman pecked at Gabriel's chest with a quick kick. Sands fell back a few steps but remained fixed on his opponent. Birdman went back to the ropes and vaulted using his wings to gain hight, landing a hurricuranna sending both competitors to the canvas. Sands rolled to a sitting position as the Birdman didn't continue his attack. His knee had swollen up badly.
Gabriel shot up like a buried live man in a two foot hole. Slugging the Birdman with a soccer style kick, Gabriel pulled him up to his feet just to deliver a series of hooks to his ribs. Then kicking the wounded knee of his opponent Gabriel mounted his back and drove hard forearm shots into the jaw line of the Birdman.
Then without continued thought, Sands powered the Birdman up in the fireman's carry, and was about to deliver the Crap Out, when he stopped.
" Before they found me I would have finished you off with this sinner. But I must recant all things which brought me into darkness. Therefore your punishment shall be a symbol to all who oppose the words of God. Are you ready for the Guiding Light?"
Gabriel Sands walked Birdman to the center of the ring. The Birdman awoke on his shoulders not knowing where he was, or what was about to happen to him. Instinct told him that he better not stick around. Birdman wiggled his wounded knee free of Sands grip and waffled him in the temple with a strong jerk.
Sands stumbled from the free shot to the head and Birdman flapped free rolling off of Sands back.
Birdman ducked a swinging haymaker from Sands as the angry inquisitor stood before him ready to make him extinct.
