((I suck at fight scenes, especially between my own characters, sooo....*hits fast forward button* >.>))
Jaquel had summoned up a scythe from the shadows, but Van didn't care as they went at it. The battle seemed to last forever as they constantly dodged and traded blows until Van was badly beaten with some nasty gashes here and there, while Jaquel had been beaten to a bloody mess. It seemed to end finally however when Van picked up Jaquel by the neck and held him dangling in the air. "What was it you said about killing a person being so easy? Just need to keep on squeezing, right?" he said tightening his grip around the demon's neck. "Luckily for you, I'm not so sadistic to give you a slow and painful death. I prefer a much quicker method!" he said as he turned to slam Jaquel's face hard into the ground. "I'm only going to say this once, so listen up." he said putting a foot on Jaquel's back to keep him down. "You're little goal here was to take me out and take my job, right? Well I think I just demonstrated how much that's not going to happen. I don't appreciate creeps like you trying to worm in on my territory, or going after my friends, or anything of the sort. Frankly, I'd like nothing better than to put an end to you right now, but as a god I have to have some sliver of mercy." he said leaning on his knee as he looked down at Jaquel beneath his foot. "So instead, here's what I'm going to do: I'm going to let off with the worst beating you'll ever experience, along with the sliver of life you've still got left in you, and you're going to go back to whatever hell hole you crawled out of. And if I find out you've set up shop in another town like this, or generally doing something that I don't like, I will hunt you down. Capeesh?"
Jaquel just glared weakly up at Van before he sank away into the shadows, never to be heard from again.
With the showdown over, Van sighed in relief before going over to help Mala down from the wall. "Are you alright? He didn't do anything to you did he?"

((Abridged version: Van's crowning moment/speech of awesome.))
Or yeah. Ending works too.
