Random realization: Huh, we also have proof that Pip is working on the side of Mab and her friends. Albeit in a different way.

He purposefully saved Abel and Jyrras in a way that Hizell couldn't have foreseen(probably), while also giving Jyrras pleeeeenty of motivation to hurry up and make a dragon killing gun.

[Brushtail]

Ha, yeah. All those specialized healers.
A 'cubi might want a 'cubi healer because of the tensions they have with other races. I mean, can you imagine if the best mental healer was a dragon or something? Beggars can't be choosers, though

Oh, I hope they call in Mink as the specialist, how is it's medical training going? That would be just  the best to have Mink put able back together again!

Suddenly I'm starting to wonder if Destania's "gift" was ironic after all...

Jog my memory.. Destania's Gift?

I am not positive, but they may be referring to this page here and/or here, where Destania is referring to harming Abel as a "Birthday Gift" of sorts....

[Drakkenmensch]

The description of Abel's horrific injuries and the fact that he's still alive leads me to think that Hizzell did not mean to kill him but mutilate him like a cruel child pulling legs off a spider.

For an animal with an internal skeleton having one or more limbs torn off will result in death from blood loss. I  think this was the plan for Able, and without modern medicine it is what would have happened. I also think that dragon meant to take off more bits, but got  interrupted.

[maus_merryjest]

Is it sad that I'm expecting Jyrras to be sitting by Abel's side, reading books to his unconscious self?

But we all know he is now in Dexter's Jyrras' lab, preparing the fires of apocalypse.

[SteelWings]

By the nine divines... yikes Amber.

[Alondro]

*Charline de Lyon returns!*  Hizell... you have crossed a line.  Fool, did you not know I have been out growing mighty in power?  I am the all-powerful Deus Ex Self-Insert Alondro from Fimfiction!  I am the supreme troll Helix Splice of Twitter! 

And for the past 3 years I have been TRAINING to destroy you!  I pushed myself beyond all measure of endurance!  100 push-ups!  100 sit-ups!  100 squats!  And a 10k run... EVERY... SINGLE... DAY!! 

Now I'm bald...

BUT I HAVE OBTAINED ULTIMATE POWER AS... CUBITAMA!!  This battle shall end in one punch...

Hizell = Great Red Dragon = Satan

Nuff said. 

[Angel]

... I guess his survival was the main thing we were all hoping for. But YEESH.

My take on why Hizell didn't kill Abel:  It was a message to Destania.  Hizell was well aware that the "anonymous tip" about Siar's last clan member was from Destania (see #1452).  I think this was Hizell's way of letting her know that he is not her errand boy, not in any way shape or form.  If she wants Abel dead, she should do it herself.

... Huh! Excellent theory.

[justacritic]

It could also be a continuation of the conversation the gang was having in the graveyard. You know the one about Abel's self-loathing? As a cubi. I mean it could appear in a dry ,ironic and vicious way   For Hizell to be like "Oh you hate being cubi? I'll just rip everything cubi off you then, you can thank me later" sort of thing.

Oh I like that idea.. like when you finish putting a machine back together and have a few leftover screws. 

Given Amber's vicious storytelling, I am guessing Hizell simply got interrupted before he could finish the job, or something incredibly ironic happened to save Abel's butt, and let's face it, we would all miss Abel's butt terribly.

It's funny that you should make that reference, as I was thinking that the song Crisis from the One Punch Man OST went rather well with Hizell's sudden appearance.  They'd always play that song whenever one of the powerful antagonists appeared.

Seriously, go back and read 1752 and 1753 while that song is playing.  If done at the right pace you should get 35 seconds into the song right as Abel is saying his goodbye and tossing Jyrras and Wildy away, which is when the somber part of the song starts playing.
