Love, War, and Androids

part six: kianko's troubles

Kianko woke up with the sound of a clicking and the slam of the iron bars of her cell.

"Welcome to our luxury suite, if you need anything keep it to yourself, cause you aren't getting it," the rusted robotic guard chuckled at his own idiotic and totally obvious joke. I mean really he has got nothing better to do, you would think that he could think of better.

"W-where am I?" Kianko quavered.

"Well, I thought that would be apparent, Kianko you are in hell," A figure clocked in black whispered.

"Can-can you really say hell? I mean I thought that it was illegal,"

"No, no you are thinking if I use it other than for a location, you know like go to hell you barker and burn, then that would be a curse word," the cloaked figure said. "Okay you know what don't do that again. God, have I ruined the mysteriousness of myself. Man I bark,"

"You never really had it. You just kind of stumbled when you came in,"

"How's this," he said going back and with gas pellets appeared out of smoke.

"It was all right. She said, more like Las Vegas than evil though,"

"Shut up! Shut up and know I must threaten your life! Bark you ruined my malice!" He shouted furious.

"What do you want?!?" Kianko said.

"My name is Death, but your time refers to me as the A1 Virus. Open the cage door. Kianko you will be my tool. My stepping-stone onto which I shall rule. Open the barking door! What is the matter with you?!?"

The guard smiled.

"Hehe you said butt,"

"Imbecile! Shut up and open the barking door cage! If you weren't my brother-in-law I'd kill you!"

The guard grabbed Kianko and with a wrench she was out of the cell.

"Let-me-go!" Kianko said breathing at every word.

Okay I'm sorry I just have to interrupt again, I mean what kind of a person laughs at his own joke, you know I think this guy is... happy. (You know what I mean.) And you know what else I can't even think because I am just an omniscient being and this is really supposed to be told in third person.

Okay I'm shutting up now.

Okay this time I'm serious.

Just ignore me.

With a strength surpassing even Jared, she wrenched her hand from the guard's grip.

"Hiah!" She shouted kicking the guard over.

"Catch her!" The demon shouted.

"I must get to Jared," Kianko said aloud.

"No such luck," the demon said appearing out of thin air,"This is my castle, here I am entwined into the very essence, and I am inside of the very walls!"

"I know who you are and I know what you are. And I also know you are responsible for my kidnapping. But it is not possible even with the science of VR to hold this amount of space," Kianko said trying to stall for time.

"Well, there you go darling. You've gone back in time," the demon said cackling his voice.

"W-why?!?" Kanko trembled.

"We all know why, you are the one that can change the tilt of power. You are the one who can help me win the war I should lose,"

"What do you mean?!? You win the war in real life! Well, granted you die, but hey it's all for a good cause right?"

The demon smiled his wicked smile.

The smile that froze the blood in Kianko's veins.

"You will help me!"

"I won't! You are evil and vile and you smell of raw fish,"

Well, not really froze, I mean I can't buy that, I mean she would have to have some blood left defrosted in order to survive. Otherwise Jared is in a fix in a war he can't win. I hate metaphors.

Oh excuse me.

Go on.

"Then you face death,"

"Better to die in the face of death defending justice than to betray the world,"

"Oh, no dear girl you are not going to die. I want you to suffer,"

"Then who?!?"

"Someone you really care about and he cares for you in face he is coming to take you back from me. The fool, you shall be his undoing. The girl he loves! What the bloody bark are you laughing at now Jeff!" The Demon shouted.

"You said fool, love and bloody bark in the same sentence! Ha ha ha!" Jeff said still tearing.

"Jeff you are such an idiot!"

"That hurt brother, man that hurt," Jeff said rubbing his chest.

"Go Larry take Ms. Grayson to her cell. Now!"

"I thought it was called a suite sir?" Jeff said.

"Just shut up and take her!"

"Fine, fine I will help you. But-but you have to leave Jared alone. He has to be able to go back," Kianko said nearly to the point of tears.

"Done," Demon said.

"I won't help until after he is back,"

"Fair enough. It only matters that you help,"

But underneath that hood the evil vile creature was crafting a wicked plan.

"I won't kill him. I have even more special plans for him,"
