"Oh, great. It's like the calm before the storm." Teon sighed and folded up the map, sticking it into his pocket. "Oh, there they are." He grimaces. "They'd better go the other way." Teon watched in horror as one of them grabbed Evelyn's arm and pull her after them. "Stars…"
"Let me go you bastard!" The man looked down at her. "Your MOTHER wants to see you." He growled out, as Evelyn was already taking out a knife. "Wait-what? My mom? No. No you're mistaken. Now let me GO!" She then stabbed his hand and tried to run back, when both of her hands were grabbed and handcuffed behind her back. "Ooh kinky~" She purred out, and was ignored. "Fuck. Fine then." She then tapped her feet together 3 times, and a knife stuck out of the head and the heel of the shoes, and she tried to kick and slice her way out. She ended up being carried by her feet and arms, and stretched out, cussing away down the hall.
"Well, that's great," Teon remarked, watching Evelyn being taking down the hallway. "I think I should do something." He pulled three knives from their sheathes and launched them at three of the men. Each knife streaked towards the men, each one somehow sinking into their hearts. The three drop to the ground, leaving only one guard holding onto Evelyn. "Hey, you!" Teon yelled, holding out a hand. One of the knives pulled itself free and flew back into his hand. "Drop her, or this knife is going to find itself in your head!" The remaining man looked at him and gave Teon a wicked smile. Three more sets of footsteps sound from behind him. Teon turned to see three more men marching towards him, guns in hand. "Shit." He turned back to Evelyn. "You got him, yeah?"
The guy was dead and she stood there, sighing. "Yeah. Can you pick locks?" She asked, nodding behind her to the handcuffs. "This is super uncomfortable and they are sort of starting to hurt. I think he pinched my skin with them."
"Yeah. Hold on." Teon reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of lockpicks. "Okay, here we go." He knelt down behind Evelyn and picked the lock as quickly as he could. "There." He pulled off the handcuffs. "You good?"
She nodded and got up, looking at the guards with guns. "Hmm…I have a plan. But we gotta hand ourselves over." She walked over and put her hands out. "Alright I'm done murdering y'all. Take me away. Him too. He won't kill any of you guys either." She looks at you and glares. "Cmon."
"Fine." Teon sighed heavily and sheathed his knives, then held out his hands. "Take me away. I'm done with my murdery ways!" The guards cuffed his hands behind his back and started marching them down the hallway. "So, what's the plan?" Teon hissed at Evelyn.
"Sh! I want to see if it's my mom first. If not I'll distract them while you slip away and search." She said with an eye roll.
"Okay. Why would it be your mom?" Teon asked quietly, looking around. "Well, good news, we're going to the throne room. It's with an armed, unwanted escort, but at least we don't have to find our way there." He shrugged.
"That is true. And I don't know, they other guard before he died said my mom wanted to see me." She shrugged.
"Huh." Teon pursed his lips together. "Well, I guess we'll see." The group marches around a corner and down another hallway. One wall is all windows, looking down on the forest, and the other is just a blank grey wall, dotted with doors. At the end of the hall is a huge set of ornate double doors, flanked by two guards in fancy uniforms.
"Ay! Rod and Todd,how's your mum?" She called out, and the two eye her and smile softly,inclining their heads to her. Rod, who had red hair, called out. "Dunno, depends on how well your pa did last night!" Which only made Todd and Evelyn laugh. Todd had brown hair. "Yup, it's my mom. Those are my uncles. They've been working for her for years."
"… Right. So… are we good? Can they uncuff us?" He frowned. "Wait, why are we sneaking into your mom's lair to… you know. Get info on evil plans." Teon looked at Evelyn. "I'm so confused right now."
"Musta been a friggin set up. AUGH! I hate the head mistress." She sighed and looked at the guards. "Can y'all let us go?" Our handcuffs get uncuffed as we approach the Lair, and she looks around. "My moms divorced a while ago and I lost contact to Madeline. Which we are going to meet right now."
"Oh, great." Teon sighed. "So… what now? Are we going to go through with the mission, or… I mean, if I don't do it, I don't know what will happen to me." He shrugged. "At least I get to meet one of your moms."
"We go through with it duh, I hate Madz. Straight up bitch left my mom for dead." She shook her head.
"Okay, cool. Just… point out the ones you don't want dead. If we have to fight." Teon whispered. "I'm just going to, uh, stand back and pretend I don't exist. Family drama… not my thing." He nodded at the figure in front of them.
She grabbed your hand and marched into the room. "Your coming…WHAT THE FUCK MADZ!" A woman with short black hair, blonde tips, and a slimming purple dress, turned around from a pedestal. "Oh Evelyn, how nice of you to finally visit me." "Cut the BS. Did you set this up JUST so would visit you." There was a few moments of awkward silence. "…Yes. But I am going to blow up the city." Evelyn looked at you, and sighed. She then slipped something into your pocket. It was a voice recorder. She then let go of your hand and walked closer. "Oh, and why is that?" And thus began the rant that Ev The Poet is to lazy to write. Tragic past, angry rant, and it all leads up to basically blowing up the city for no other reason then she wants to rule the world, yadda yadda.
"Wow. I really don't see how blowing up a city will let you rule the world." Teon remarked. "You're terrible at world domination. Boo." He looked at Evelyn and gave her a look that basically said, Now what?
"If I ruin this city they will see my power, and I'll blow up the rest of the cities if they do not bow down to me." Evelyn sighed as she chucked a knife at you. 'Shut it and just listen.' Was the look she gave back.
Of course." Teon glared at Evelyn and crossed his arms over his chest. He really wasn't a fan of the 'let the villain tell us their plans' thing: too much standing around and listening to other people rant. But… at least he didn't have to do much work. Just sit there and listen… and remember what they were saying, which was a bit of an issue. At least Evelyn was there. And he had that voice recorder thing. Thank the stars for technology.
"So then Evelyn. You never told me about your boyfriend." Madz purred as she finished her speech, and some guards came up behind you and took your arms. "Just because you are my daughter, you were still sent here to stop me. I must prevent that. Throw him downstairs. I'll deal with him later." "Wait mom! We aren't dating!" "What, but the whole boyfriend skit. Don't think I didn't see that.Ah a lie…Evelyn really I've trained you better than this. You should've came in through the roof! Well. Anywho he is still power over you." Evelyn glances back at you. "Search him." And before the guards can even stick a hand in your pocket there are knives protruding from their heads. "RUN!" She yells before she turns around and dodges a blow from her mother, and swings her legs out, all badass like. (We must somehow initate romance!) Thus making her mother fall to the ground, and the two begin to battle.
(Yep! But how?)
"Run? Hell no." Teon shook his head and pulled two knives out. "You beat her. I'll cover you." He turned his back to the two women and watched the door. A few seconds later, a group of guards burst in. Teon hurled his two knives at the front two, who were immediately replaced by two more. His knives flew back into his hands and he threw them again, taking down two more of the guards. Unfortunately, the last three had their guns out and ready, and shot at him. Teon dropped to the ground and pulled another two knives out, throwing them at the guards as he got to his feet. Two more guards dropped to the ground, leaving only one left. "Gotta close the door," Teon mumbled to himself.
"That's not going to happen," The last guard said, pointing their gun at Teon. He holds up his hand and one of the knives sticking in a guard behind the last guard flies towards him, straight through the last guard, and into his hand.
"Ha!" Teon grinned and ran towards the doors, closing them and barring them with one of the guards' guns. "Evelyn, how-" A sudden pain flares in his arm. He tentatively touches it, his fingers coming away red with blood. "Stars."
She was busy trying to stop Madz from touching the Blow Everything Up button, and had managed to almost cut off her fingers, when she heard the gun shot, and stopped, and whizzed around, but not before grabbing her mothers arm and using her force and motion slams her down on the ground. Evelyn was now really glad she payed attention in science class, because otherwise her center force wouldn't be so steady and she would've landed on Madz. Instead she looked at her mom, grabbed some knives, and pinned her cape to the ground in random places, and ran over to you. "Shit…shit shit shit…" She picked you up, bridal style, and rushed over to a corner and set you down. "Crap ah uhm shit YOU IDIOT YOU DON'T GET INJURED! I've gotta learn not everyone can heal in 10 minutes flat…" She sighed and tapped on her suit, a drum beat, trying to calm down as her mind raced, as Madz tried to take off her cape. Evelyn then ran over, and tore off some of the cape. "Sorry mom but this is thick enough for bandages." And the raced back to you, and stuffed the bullet hole, while cussing up a storm of worry with her words.
"Stars, Evelyn." Teon laughed weakly. "It's just my arm… I think." He grimaced as she stuffed the bullet hole and took a deep breath. "Did you stop her? You should do that before you worry about me. I'll be fine." He gave Evelyn a smile and looked over at Madz. "That cape won't hold her for long."
