"Allen,the hell are they?Sick people aren't generally supposed to take certain kinds of pills."

Kari said/asked sweat dropping,being cautious for once.

"Heheh, don't worry. These aren't pills for swallowing. I really don't remember the scientific name I gave them, but I call them plasma poppers. Just watch."

Allen said as he popped one of the pills inside his mouth. He waited a few seconds, and then he smiled. Blood was coming down from his teeth, making it look like he was bleeding from the inside out. "I've always wanted to use on Mat-Mat to make her freak, but I think these are a better time to use them."

"Ah.I catch your drift,they're blood pills stupid."

Kari said rolling her eyes,taking some from him and then she blinked saying in a joking manner but completely serious

"Or I could just scream and hack up blood."

"We need you alive and well. We don't know what's over there in the room, but we at least got to be prepared for anything that comes at us. So....how long do you want the fight to be? We need to give it at least some time so it looks convincing, but if we're too late....."

Allen said seriously, not wanting to finish his sentence.

Kari thought about it for a minute before taking out Hades and asked a simple

"Do you trust me?"

Clearly she was going to shoot him with some sort of bullet and NOT kill him,she just needed his consent.

"I think the question is, do you trust me?"

Allen said as he nodded his head 'yes'.

"Alright, you two, it's time to go to the arena to fight!"

Atticus said, and with a snap of his fingers, the two were in a Roman style arena, with risen seats, and the one in the king's chair and grapes, was Atticus. "Begin the fight, you gladiators!"

"As you wish, my king." Allen said as he went to throw a punch at Kari.

Kari took the punch,having slipped plasma pills before hand coughed up 'blood' holding her stomach pretending that he ruptured something

"YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO HIT A LADY, YOU IDIOT!!!!"

Atticus screamed as he ate a grape, furiously.

"Sorry. This is a fight to the death after all."

Allen said, standing on one foot, smiling.

((I thought Atticus didn't care about her?XD))

"All's fair in love and war."

Kari said bluntly standing up slowly with her gun at her side while spat some blood to the side and then 'missed' some shots at Allen,aiming to miss.

((He's still a strong believer of rules in the world. Didn't you realize that when he let the little one go first? XD))

"You can't hit me."

Allen said, right when he dileberatly went in front of a bullet, grazing his shoulder. "Guess I messed up there."

"You messed up big time love."

Kari said now behind him and 'shot' him in the shoulder in a would be fatal wound if it was actually a bullet,it showed a burn mark and a wound but it was really all smoke and sparkles type of bullet.

Both Alexander and Jillian looked at the fight. Atticus powers didnt affect them, after all there was no "heart" to torture, and they were a cupid and an anti-cupid, both of them quite powerfull.

"Heh, you've got me there, but I've got you too."

Allen said as he flashstepped behind her and kicked her in the back, not so hard, but enough to leave a small red mark.

That just about 'did it' for her lungs/stomach and she collapsed down on the ground shortening her breathing as she managed on last 'shot' at Allen's stomach which would prove for him to 'die'.

Allen coughed up 'blood' and he passed out on the ground, looking dead and pale.

"Marvelous. The Romeo will join with the Juliet soon....unless this Arthur tries to ruin it."

Atticus said smiling.

Kari was currently 'dead' so she didn't make any comment but only started drooling on the ground.

"Ugh, great."

Atticus said as he declared them both dead, and since they both lost, they were both transported to the dark room. They were both in the hands of guards, carrying them like a sack of potatoes.

"Where did the boss say to carry these two?" a man with a very strong Russian accent said.

"I believe it's the room near the dark room, where that crazy girl with the gray hair is." the other man said with an Irish accent.

Allen heard all of this, ready to attack them and get his girl back. So, how long do we need to pretend being dead? he asked Kari in his mind.

Till they open the door for us.

Kari replied barely breathing to keep up the act,which was not good.

But we're not going to the room where Mat-Mat is. We're going to another tomb.

Allen replied.

Then that would be now.

Kari replied before kicking the guy holding her in the face several times with both feet before half strangling him with her legs and he passed out and she fell down on her hands looking amused

Okey dokey!

Allen said grinning. "What the...." the Russian guard said before Allen kicked him several times and then, getting on his legs, pinned the guy against the wall. He held his neck with his hand, nearly stangling him.

"Now, would be so kind as to give me the keys to my girlfriend's tomb?"

"And vhy would I do this?" the guard gasped. "Because if you don't you're going to see a very mad wolf."

"And of course this angry little panther'll probably go after your boss so even if you live you'll be broke and have nowhere to go since we'll burn this place to the ground,neh?"

Kari said smiling innocently contrary to her threat.

"Heh, I don't care vat you people vant. I shall never give you the key. You can just let your friend die, vhich probably by now she is long gone. All the blood I saw vas unbelieveable. There's now vay she can be alive."

The guard said as he spat to both Kari and Allen. Allen tightened his hold on the guard, barely even letting him breathe.

"You had better hope that she's alive. If she's not, you and your boss are the first people I'll kill."

Allen growled, his golden-yellow eyes flashing with anger.

Kari nodded stiffly with her right hand twitching,practically begging her mind,to shoot the guy but instead she started searching his person growling

"If you won't give it then we'll take it."

"Ugh, you stupid kitty! Get avay from me!"

The guard said as he kicked Kari away from him. "I shall never tell you vhere the key is. You can just vatch your friend die!"

"Look, all I'm asking is for the key to the tomb where my friend is. If you just give it to us, I won't have to kill anyone here."

Allen said calmly, tighting the grip more, where the guard could only get small gasps of air.

"Owwwwwwwwwww,I think he broke on of my ribs."

Kari complained sitting up painfully

"Look, you stupid little guard, I just want to know what tomb my friend is in, and it would be very nice of you to give me the key. Can you please do that for me?"

Allen growled nicely, loosening the grip on his neck.

"Ugh, fine, you stupid volf boy. You can have this key. However, I von't tell you where she's located!!!"

The guard said finally as he handed him the key. "That's all I needed anyway." Allen said as he kicked the man hard in the ribs, making him pass out. "Ready to get Mat-Mat back?"

"Yeah yeah,but your paying for my doctor bills and with candy for the emotional trauma later when L-kun sends me to get the rib you cracked and the one this guy broke fixed."

Kari said pouting as she stood up swaying a little having a harder,than usual,time breathing because of the ribs cracked/broken.

"Fine. I'll buy you all the candy you want if Mat-Mat's alive."

Allen said running towards the room, fast enough for Kari to catch up. "By the way...do you know the way to the dark room?"

"Don't need too,her blood is strong enough to smell all the way from the arena."

Kari said looking nauseas,with good reason,as she led the way literally following her nose like she was a dog.And Allen was the wolf boy,ironic.

"Thank God for you nose. I just don't feel like being Mr. Wolf Man today."

Allen said grinning, following where Kari was going.

"Being a halfie has it's pro's and con's.More con's but eh."

Kari said with a small shrug as she started running on all fours,still semi-human,just going faster and having better reflexes to the smell since the rusty and irony smell that's blood generally is closer to the ground then the ceiling.And when she got to a good couple of cells she started sniffing around them before turning to go down the hall saying

"Next couple batches of cells,she's still alive too.I can hear her heart goin."

"Good. Now all we have to do is figure out which one...."

Allen said anime sighing. He tried to listen to Mat-Mat's heartbeat, picking up instantly. He followed the beat until he came in front of a door with really dark etches, like fingernails had made all the scratches, and where the smell of blood was the strongest.

"This is the place." Allen said as he started rummaging through his pockets, looking for the key, then going anime white.

"Allen,your a dumb [All hail lord Xenu] you know that right?"

Kari said muffled with the key in her mouth,having picked it up when he lost it which was why she took an extra couple minutes to get over there.

"Yeah, but your the dumber [All hail lord Xenu]. At least I don't get nausea from smelling blood and rust."

Allen said taking the key from her mouth and unlocking the door. When Allen pushed the door open, he was speechless at what laid before his eyes. The room was dark and damp, chiseled numbers where people had marked how long they had in the place, and chains of cuffs everywhere. This made Allen sick at his stomach, but he held it in.

"Holy s**t."

"This,would be why I feel sick."

Kari said standing up covering her nose and mouth so she wouldn't start puking from her cursed blessing of having hyper Dare Devil senses as she started looking for Mat-Mat in this horrible room,just wanting to get out of here.

Allen.....

Allen heard a voice say inside of his head. He recognized it instantly, and he turned in the direction of where it came. When he turned, he saw Mat-Mat, torn and ragged as he saw her before his battle to the death with Kari. Blood was coming from all over her, she was barely breathing, and she looked dead.

"Mat-Mat...."

Allen said as he went over towards her, worried as mess. "I know you're not all right, but I'm glad to see you alive again."

Same.....here... Mat-Mat said in her mind weakly.

"Allen,you make sure this pain in the butt gets out of here.I personally need to go kick some Atticus butt and get out of this room before I pass out and not breathe.."

Kari grumbled practically running out of that room coughing raggedly,and leaning against the wall for a few minutes to get clean air into her nose and lungs.

"Sure, but I want a chance at him too. He's the one who did all of this to us, remember?"

Allen said as he put Mat-Mat on his back piggy-back style. "Don't you dare die on me, ok Mat-Mat?"

....Pain...in the butt?

Mat-Mat thought as she passed out on Allen's back.

"Alright,I'll be nagged about this later but time to actually go more than 50% speed."

Kari grumbled before speeding off faster than anything at the moment,not a trace was left whether she moved no wind no sound nothing moved to signal she was running.

"Holy crap...."

Allen said staring in awe at Kari, running towards her to catch up. You're not a pain in the butt, you're just passed out on my back bleeding to death..... he said smiling.

"I won't let you get hurt, Mat-Mat. Just stay safe and don't get yourself killed again."

"It's all in slow mo.....Been awhile since I did 60."

Kari mumbled looking bemused as everything indeed was in slow mo,everybody in front of her looked like it was one of the slowest people alive and she simply passed,slashing through them,with a sword for once,making them fall to the ground in slow mo.

"Oi Kari, stop that. You're making the place smell worse. It's already bad enough that the smell of blood is on my back, but you're just making it worse."

Allen growled trying to keep up, disguisted at the smell. He tried covering his nose, but then picked up the scent of Atticus, and went in the other direction. "Hey kitty, this way."

"Well it's either blood smell or get our butts kicked and being delayed in Atticus hunting."

Kari said bluntly with a shrug as she raced in front of him again,for good measure though broke all they're necks instead of slashing they're stomachs out.

"Neither would be fine, thank you."

Allen said running after her, jumping over the dead bodies that all over the hall. Atticus's scent was strong, and it made Allen's nose curl up. "We're near."

"Don't have to tell me twice,his cologne has been bothering me this whole time."

Kari said sheepishly jumping over her latest dead guy as they were less than a hallway away from Atticus' quarters.

"What kind of cheap cologne does he have? It makes me want to hurl."

Allen said, starting to go green. After another thirty seconds of running, they were at his quarters. The door was a titanium door with his name carved in fancy cursive writing. It was heavly guarded with over ten locks on both sides.

"This guy is really starting to creep me out."

"Locks?Dear lord he really needs to learn that I have the keys to any lock."

Kari mumbled rolling her eyes as she grimaced a little making her fairly long nails into claws and started picking locks,each one taking about 10 seconds or less.

"Great, we'll be to him soon. Oh, by the way...what are we going to with Mat-Mat? I can't fight and keep her on my back at the same time."

Allen said looking at Mat-Mat, who was sound asleep.

"Put her in a corner and kick his [All hail lord Xenu] and then put her back on your back."

Kari said blinking as if it was the most obvious thing in the world and added sweat dropping

"That's what I usually do when L breaks himself."
