Mikoto could barely think straight now.. she was chained by her ankle to a dungeon wall, the venom that had seeped into her veins was dulling her senses, making it hard to discern what was going on around her.

"Damn.. " Mikoto muttered. "Where.. the heck.. am.. I? Owwwww..."

Mikoto could hear a little of Coluber's muttering echoing in the cave.

"My.. My Fulgy.. she's mine... mine.."

Mikoto fought the urge to cry. Watching Coluber suffering from the madness of the Corruption hurt her heart so painfully, it was like a form of torture...

For a moment, her vision cleared just enough to see Coluber shoving a small figure into the dungeon with his tail. "Go!! Tend to her woundssss. Now! If I see her slightly out of health, I'll eat you!!!"

Mikoto saw a shivering pink Gekota approach her. It was at this point, Mikoto realized that all the female Gekos were pink, while all the males were different shades of green, red, blue, and other colors.

The Gekota (or Pyonko, as Mikoto would call it) had a fancy blue dress on, and was wearing a tiny golden crown with a ruby set in the center.

"Oh.. oh dear." said the well dressed Gekota. "You look the worse for wear don't you ms. Human. I'll fix that up best I can.."

The Geko began fumbling awkwardly with a roll of bandages, obviously not experienced as she tried to wrap them around Mikoto's bruises.

"It's okay.." Mikoto said. "You can stop..I feel fine.. it's just his venom that's a little disorienting.. first time he's ever used it on me though.."

Mikoto looked at the crown. "Are you.. some sort of royalty?"

"Yes. I am princess Pyonko." said the princess. "Named after my great great great great grandmother.."

"PYONKO IS REAL TOO!?" Mikoto squealed excitedly. "Uh.. I mean.. wow.. nice to meet you.. heh.."

"I heard my ancestors started a franchise based on us on Earth." said Pyonko. "But I didn't think it to be true till you reacted in such a way."

In the Gekota franchise, Pyonko was the female counterpart to Gekota. She was usually seen with a bow on her head.

"So.. why are you hear?" Mikoto asked.

"I was kidnapped by Vrull as a hostage to ensure we keep giving his men God Ore." said Pyonko. "I've been here for 5 years.. ever since that large snake arrived.. he's the only company I've had during that time.. I don't believe he's truly evil.. but.. he seems sick.. as if his mind isn't quite right. He constantly mutters to himself, and he can't seem to access his Purgatory forms like other Numensapiens.."

Mikoto's ears perked up. If Coluber couldn't use his Purgatory forms, whatever the reason, it would be a severe disadvantage for him, and any Numensapien.. their Purgatory forms and the Purgatory Gods that came with them were their combative ace in the hole. And Coluber wasn't the most powerful Numensapien to begin with.. it meant they had a chance..

Before Fulguras reincarnated, Mikoto remembered that Coluber had unlocked 2 of his Purgatory Forms. Leviathan of the Flashing Viper, and Sky Serpent of the Flashing Viper.. one had the ability to create a nasty ocean of acid, while the other could fly at incredible speeds.. and their Purgatory Gods, Cthulhu and Tyrannos, had started several legends on Earth, due to a wild trip Fulguras and Coluber had once taken in the Milky Way... (Coluber and Fulguras got grounded for 3 years for starting the Cthulhu legend.)

"If he doesn't have most of his power to access.." Mikoto muttered. "It must be because the Corruption hasn't fully settled in yet like it did with Diablo, and integrated with his aspects of magic. He can be cured... I just have to find a way.. to... to.."
