Warning- things will get bloody here

And wow wee it's been a while

————

He picked her up by the neck, and was now the one to choke.

She started to gasp for air, while trying to rip his claws away from her neck. A growl came from her mouth, and her skin started to turn pale.

But orange smoke started to appear around her.

The guard widened his eyes, and his grip on her neck began to loosen as she transformed into something bigger than him.

A roar escaped her lips - no, snout - and the guard backed away in fear. "Wh- what is this?!?"

A chuckle was the next sound to be heard. "You really think you can kill a dragon? You know, this isn't the first time someone has tried. But don't worry, the same result will happen to you."

The orange smoke cleared, and the figure that came out of it was no longer a human. It was Allison, but as a dragon. She had managed to transform into a bigger size than the guard, and somehow without showing any signs of pain.

"First, let's start with your hand." Her talons reached out and gripped the guard's right hand, and ripped it off clean. Yelling in pain, the guard collapsed to the floor

"You're lucky I didn't melt it off," she said, watching him writhe around on the floor like a worm. "It would have been much worse."

The blood was still oozing out, but she wasn't done yet. She picked him up by the neck as if he was a cat.

"Now, let's end your misery."

She lifted up her tail, and the edges of the diamond gleamed in the torchlight.

Taking one last look at him, back to her tail, and back at him again, Allison plunged her venomous tail into his heart and through his back.

The guard gasped, and began coughing up blood. She removed her tail from his chest, and he collapsed to the ground. She poked him a few times, until she decided that he was lifeless.

The cell bars had crumbled away by then, but Hero, Notch, and Steve all stayed in it, gasping with their chins to the floor.

She turned to look at them, with a few blood drops on her face. "What? This isn't the first time I've killed someone."

"I-" Hero stared at her in disbelief. "As long as I've known you, I never thought you would do something like that."

"Well, I just did. I'm not afraid to do the same thing twice."

——————

"I guess that was what Hero's head nod meant." Douglas said to himself, sighing. He touched the bars, and immediately took back his hand. "They were just here. It's still hot."

"Well then they must still be close."

"True, but the real question is how they got out, that cell is supposed to block any type of magic."

A moment later, they turned to face each other.

"Allison."

Adam went into the cell and gathered up what was left in there, and put it in a garbage bag.

"Aw man." Douglas suddenly said.

"Hm?"

"Come here."

Adam jogged over to Douglas' side, and saw what he was talking about. It was a dead endermite guard, who seemed to either die from blood loss or a stabbing.

"He was my best guard. That's why he was guarding their cell. What a shame."

"You think Allison did this?"

"Oh, definitely. Just look at that stab in his chest! It was absolutely her tail." He crouched down next to the corpse, and poked the stab wound. A little bit of a strange liquid was on his finger. "Tiedan venom. Very lethal, very deadly. Can kill an adult dragon in less than 10 seconds. There currently isn't a cure, so if you're even barely nicked, you're screwed."

"How is it that deadly?"

"Tiedans can make a lot of venom in their tails, so a lot of it will be injected when they scratch someone. The venom also goes for both the heart and brain, and shuts down both with its toxins. No one has ever survived a Tiedan scratch."

"Wow, I can't even imagine the pain people go through."

"Good thing is, your own venom can't kill you, otherwise I would've been dead a long time ago. Found that out the hard way."

"Oh."

Douglas grabbed his walkie talkie, and spoke into it, "cleanup on aisle 8." He put it back into his pocket, and picked up the garbage bag Adam was using to collect the leftover scraps from the cell.

"Did you want any of the stuff in there?" Douglas asked.

"I took the Uno deck, if that's alright with you."

"Ah it's fine, I would have just thrown all of this away anyways." He carefully tossed the rotted pieces of the bars into the bag, and left the other pieces for the cleanup crew to deal with. He left the bag next to the cell opening, and walked over to Adam.

"So uh, what do we do now?" Adam asked him.

"Well, we need to find them, don't we?"

"The search parties can do that. You have those, don't you?"

"Yeah, but they're slow. Really slow. With my flying and your watch, we could probably find them way quicker."

"My watch only lets me transform into things that I have killed, it doesn't have GPS or anything like that."

"Oh, well that's still useful."

Adam hesitated for a moment, before saying, "I have to use the restroom, excuse me."

"Okay."

He rushed to the bathrooms and entered the men's room. He locked himself in a stall, and made sure there weren't any cameras in the room (because 1, that would be creepy and gross, and 2, what's about to happen ahead).

He saw a slip of paper wedged in between a +4 and a green reverse card. He slid it out of the deck and opened it, as it was folded in half to hide in between the cards.

He couldn't recognize the handwriting, but it was legible enough to read. It said:

We're in the Portal Room. Meet us there. Don't bring Douglas with you. Allison saved us.

Adam sighed, folding the piece of paper as it was. He hid it in another location in the deck, around the same area as the first time. He put it back in the plastic bag it was originally in, and put it in his pocket.

"Hey, Adam. You almost done in there?" He suddenly heard Douglas' voice call out his name.

"Um, be right there!" He hurried up and actually went to the bathroom, since he was expecting that he wouldn't be doing so for a little while.
