One could not just simply open the door and walk in, Legalist and Aileana knew. One touch of the door handle, and it would burn through them, being made of pure essence of lamentation.
But as all things went, they were always prepared. Teleportation was a vastly useful skill.
And yet they still hesitated for another moment, facing the hard truth which so ominously loomed in their future. They knew they could not defeat this monster here, with the entire city above them, lest the citizens suffer devastation; no, for in order to be able to defeat this figure, they would need to bring him out into a secluded area, far from all civilization, to ensure the safety of their dear subjects.
And in such effect, they would suffer horribly at his hands.
Legalist bit his lip. He hated to see how the next part would play out. "Okay, Ailea," he said, squaring his shoulders. "It's your turn first. Bring 'em down."
Aileana nodded, and raised her hand to form the spell signal.
"Wait," Legalist said.
Aileana turned toward him, faltering.
"Stay alive," he continued, ignoring the bile rising in his throat.
Aileana nodded, smiling softly at him. "I will," she said simply. She turned back to face the door.
It was utter chaos inside.
Mostly due to BlueMeow's incessant ranting at Illegalist, of course. Doug and Musica simply watched on as she lashed out at their captor, both with her claws and her ferocious words. "Oi, mousefart! I'm talking to you here! Don't go around ignoring me like that, you stuck-up poodle impostor!" she snapped. "If you're at least gonna keep us hostage then why don't you treat us like the royal guests we really are, you miserable pile of singed ashes? At least make a playground with fresh air!"
"Blue, you're gonna end up making him zap us all to oblivion when he's done turning our DNA into overpowered mutations," Musica mumbled. Doug sat quietly against the wall, whistling in lieu of not having his flute.
"Oh, so what? Let him zap us all he wants, no shot he could even finish making that measly army anyway," BlueMeow hissed, ignoring the large stack of data paper in the corner. She violently stuck her head out of the bars. "Oi, are you gonna answer me or what, you pile of beaver fodder? Face me, you soulless husk of fake lava!"
"She barks more than a dog," Musica sighed. Doug let out a small laugh.
Illegalist sent a black whip of blobby darkness toward BlueMeow, causing her to back away from the jail bars. "Shut up, cat," he huffed. "Ugh, I should have muted you when I had the chance, but it's useless anyway now."
BlueMeow wrinkled her whiskers. "Yeah, well, duh, because you're even more inferior than our subjects," she taunted. "I bet you they all could take you on. Besides, you only got three of us."
And then her eyes gleamed, in that fashionable way when she had a bright idea. Musica glanced at her, eyes widening in horror. "No. BlueMeow. Don't you dare," he growled. Doug stopped whistling, interest piqued.
BlueMeow pointedly ignored Musica. "You know what, Mr. I'm-Illegalist-So- Crime-Is-Ironically-Legal? You didn't even manage to get your original copy in here with us, because he was obviously smart enough to figure you out and block you with his barrier spells. I bet you that right now, as we're speaking, Legalist and Aileana are teaming up together like the spectacular superhero duo they are to bring you down once and for all. In fact, I could almost say that they're at your door right now and they're gonna kick your lamentable rat face into the upper hemisphere of OverBass Void for the Davie Legions to torment you for eternity."
Illegalist, shockingly, cackled. "A superhero duo, you say?" he snorted. "And what would you even call a duo like that?"
BlueMeow, ever the wordsmith, smirked smugly at him. "We call them...
"The Ailegalist Stars."
Musica facepawed.
Illegalist cackled even louder, no doubt out of the sheer unbelievability of it. "Ailegalist Stars!" he howled. "And you really believe that they have the power to break into this compartment and 'free' you all from my grasp, you peasants? They'll never understand the true magnitude of their puny mortality! They don't know what it takes to defeat ME!"
