Bobby gently nudged the wardrobe door open a tad and then nearly shot back and he peered out the crack of light into the tailor's room, and Allee stood behind him and looked over his shoulder.
"We hear from a reliable source you're helping prisoners escape so tell me where is the girl?" A guard demanded as he threw the old tailor into the sowing table, where spindles of thread crashed to the floor as tapestries unrolled onto the chair and continued its journey behind the guards. Bobby bit his lip and dug his fingernails in the wood of the door as a guard turned towards the wardrobe they were in.
"So where are you hiding them old man?" The guard turned back towards the beaten Elijah who didn't say anything. Then Bobby pushed Allee to the side of the wardrobe behind clothes as he slid the cut out back of the wardrobe and pushed it back into place and then hid in the other side of the wardrobe right as the guard poked his nose in. He stared hard at the back of the wardrobe and Allee was afraid they would be found out, she looked up over at Bobby, who only put a finger up to his mouth as a silent "shh" and he slowly creeped up on the guard and put his hand over the guards mouth to keep him quiet and snapped his neck, that was when the wardrobes closed and Bobby threw on the armor on himself, leaving the dead guard hidden in the hanging gowns and coats in his underclothes.
"Roland? What do you think you're doing in there?! Get out!" another guard shouted, and as Bobby threw open the door she held her breath. His charcoal gray eyes were stern as he played the part,"I fell in while looking in there, but there's nothing to report," the other one who had yelled at him turned towards Elijah with an enraged look upon his face and grabbed the old tailor's shoulder in one hand and his sword in the other, and in a flash there was blood on Elijah, but not his; the guard's. Bobby pulled the guard's head back as he drove the sword through the guards spinal cord.
"That's what you get for trying to stop us and for almost killing Elijah," Bobby growled in his ear. He threw the guard's body down onto the other dead guards and turned towards the wardrobe right as Allee poked her head out of the door of the wardrobe and quickly grabbed a hankercheif ad started to dab at a scrape on Elijah's forehead that had blood welling up on it.
"You have to get out of here," Elijah growled and he pushed Allee's hand gently away. She frowned and stepped over to the side to let him trudge over past Bobby and opened the door to the palace hallway.
"Get going you two, and I mean it,"
Elijah muttered and after a split second of hesitation they bolted out the door. Bobby lead the way and leapt back up into the ceiling beams and he didn't wait for Allee since she kept up with him now that she wasn't in a dress and flats. Bobby knelt on the last beam before the top of a tall light gray bricked archway that cuts off the next room with their own ceiling beams. Bobby was looking down though and this time he made a subtle motion with his hand to Allee and she scooted over to his side where he pointed to the emperor's chamber door.
"Right there's the Emperor's room," Bobby whispered.
"I know."
"How do you know?"
"I was in there last night, that's where my friend Stephano is," Allee whispered, he nodded and leapt down into the shadows of a pillar and Allee followed, landing silently on her feet Bobby pulled the door open slightly and they slipped in while the guards on patrol weren't looking their way.
"Well well well, if it isn't my most loyal subject," a deep voice greeted them in the darkness.
The lights came up into a dim, Stephano still held his place and didn't dare move. Allee felt the tip of the kris that was just millimeters from her throat, Bobby didn't move either because he was to far to directly get the blade before it was through her. Allee swallowed hard before turning fully towards the emperor.
"Why hello your majesty," she simply said, really having nothing else to say. Instead he turned his eyes on Bobby and snarled.
"I still don't know how you managed to thaw out, I'm going to assume the girl did somehow, but now I have to kill you both; I'm sorry Robert, my son."
"S-son?!" Allee choked turning her head towards Bobby, who slowly bowed his head to hide his face.
"Yeah, and what so-called father would freeze his only son?" Bobby growled without looking up. The emperor narrowed his eyes,"one whose son doesn't defend his father's decisions," He never took his glare from Bobby, and he only returned the icy glare.
"Lower the blade, she isn't part of our war between us," Bobby growled. The emperor cocked a malicious grin and began to laugh.
"Why should I?! She's part of their dumb little resistance! No, I will not lower this blade," and with that he thrusted the kris and Allee could only close her eyes, waiting for her life to flash in front of her. She opened her eyes after 3 seconds and fell back a little. She wasn't dead at all, but there was blood.
"St-Stephano!" Allee yelled, he flash a crooked smile as the blood slowly trickled down his arm, staining his golden costume. He had taken the blow to his forearm right in the skin over the ulna bone.
"Phew, almost didn't make it, these clothes make me sluggish," Stephano said through gritted teeth.
"I heard what happened Allee, can't believe you didn't get me salmon!" He said with an insane grin on his face and the emperor only laughed at him.
"You won't be getting any salmon where you're heading! On another note, I want to thank you for the blood," Stephano cringed as the emperor ripped the dagger out and wiped the blood off with a finger all while smiling a devilish smile. Then he drew various symbols on the backs of his hands with it and there was a sudden gust of wind, throwing the three to the ground.
"What the hell?!" Allee screamed as she grabbed a pillar so she wasn't carried by the winds. She shot her head towards Bobby, who was about three fingers about to lose his grip.
"Hang on Bobby!" Allee yelled as she let go of the pillar and flew to the other pillar and grabbed Bobby's hand before he was pulled away completely; using every muscle in her arms she managed to pull him back onto the pillar. Suddenly, the wind ceased and the trio fell to the ground with a "thud". They gaped at the huge glob that Emperor Douche-face had become.
"Holy shit," was what Bobby could only say before his voice died. Allee and Stephano couldn't say anything at all.
"So you little fools, ready to die?!" The emperor's voice had changed to a deep, hoarse tone. Then it lurched towards the three with suprising speed for the size of the thing. Allee and Bobby ducked to the right and Stephano to the left.
"What is that thing?!" Stephano screamed as the ran around behind it.
" Emperor morph face used blood magic to eat everything!" Allee yelled back. The blob grew a tentacle that was made of the emperor's shirts and shoes and raised it.
"LOOK OUT YOU TWO!" Stephano hollered right as the tentacle came down, and he leapt and pulled Bobby and Allee out of the way in the knick of time. The impact knocking them backwards onto the tile floor. Allee clenched her fist and grabbed her katana in the other and as an arm shot out at her with un-natural length and speed she hopped on and and rode on the arm up to the emperor's disoriented face. She stabbed into the forehead and stared into his eyes.
"Where did you take Maxwell?! Don't pretend you're dead! Your brain's gotta be somewhere else in that mess," Allee yelled. Everything stopped, the tentacles fell to the floor as if they lost their nerve control. Bobby and Stephano stood up straight from their own stances dropping their weapons slightly.
"Maxwell? Oh, the scribblenaut; he's been sent far far away I'm afraid," the emperor exclaimed and started to laugh insanely, Allee's face turned to pure horror for a moment and then flashed back to anger.
"Where did you send him?!" Allee demanded, thrusting the katana deeper into his mutated forehead.
"I won't tell! Teehee!" Then he threw his head to the side, sending Allee flying into a wall without her weapon.
Then the tentacles re-animated and proceeded to grab at Bobby and Stephano.
