[Balthazar's dungeon]
Mint's clan had surrounded their fallen leader and his weeping daughter with silence and sorrow, it was a surprise to everyone. Afton has been through a lot (and I mean a lot!) he's fought war, sickness, the lose of his wife, but now...it was to much for the once strong pixy leader. The glow of the great pixy leader had diminished from his body, as happens to all pixy's when they die, causing the look of a drafty depressing grey glow. Mint kept crying only at about a wimper, she hadn't the energy to cry at full force but that didn't mean the tears came down any less.
Nursette was able to heal Mint's wing once again and now slowly steps forward with a little sake in hand, scoops out a little of its magical pouter, and chants softly "Crepusculum ut diluculo , vita ut nex , somes ut cinis cineris."
A swirl of gold dust surrounds Afton's lifeless body transforming it into a medium size jug. Nursette goes to pick it up handing it over to Mint.
"Its his ashes." she sadly says.
Mint turns away sadly "Give them to Lilly."
Nursette look to the red headed pixy Mint was pointing to and did as Mint wanted.
Brainette comes forward as she timidly put a friendly hand on the earthly pixy's shoulder "A-are you gunna be okay?"
"I'll be fine." Mint barely whispers, not even looking up towards the smart smurfette.
"I-I'm sorry." Brainette stutters getting a little tear herself.
"Don't be."
"I j-just wish there was more we could of done."
"There is."
"Like what?"
Mint slowly lifts her head, her face damp with tears, but still dosen't look towards Brainette "You can get me and my clan safely out of here."
"I think we can smurf that." Brainette nodded, as she soothingly rubs Mint's back.
She helps Mint to her feet then turns towards her fellow smurfs for an idea.
"Go out the way we smurfed in?" Toughette shrugs.
No one argued at that motion, puls it was simple enough, no need to complicate things. Glumly the smurfs and the pixy clan turn to make their way to the stair cases till-
"Not so fast!" bellowed an oh so familiar voice.
"Balthazar!" exclaimed the smurfs and escaping prisoners.
But Mint wasn't scared...she was furious!
"I've just had about enough with this stupid collector!"
Grabbing the bow that Hefty was caring Mint shoots it at a near by leaver connected to a chandelier.
"Ha! You missed!" Balthazar cackled.
"No I didn't." Mint smirked as she pointed up.
The evil collector looked up just in time for the chandelier to hit him smack in the face causing him to pass out, tumbling down to the ground.
"Come on!" Mint hollers.
The pixy clan obeys, those who can fly and have minor injuries help others with more sever, as do the animals. Calmly and in a some what orderly fashion the animals and pixy clan had safely went up the steps, all was left was Mint and the smurfs.
Caw! Caw!
"Not him again!" Clumsy whimpers.
The crow swoops down towered the smurfs and Mint from behind fully prepared to get his target at any cost.
"Quickly everyone up the steps!" Brainy ordered.
Being as they where in the back of the dungeon to make sure everyone got out the smurfs and the earthly pixy ran as fast as they could to the start of the stairs but the crow was hot on their trail! Brainy made sure that he was right next to Brainette, grabbing hold of her hand securely, to protect her if he needed to, he didn't want to risk what happened last time. If only he knew that didn't matter.
The crow flew above them ready to strike, claws extended getting closer every second. The smart non-athletic couple ran and ran as fast as they could with the others not to far ahead. They kept running, pumping their legs as hard and as fast as they could, yet it was still not enough to reach the others. Brainy suddenly felt the drag of Brainette get lighter, thinking she has speed up he kept on going till she called to him.
"Brainy!"
He looks back to see the dreaded crow had her by her other arm lifting her off the ground steadily. Brainy tried with all his might to pull her free and to keep on running, but it was difficult and his grip was slipping.
"Don't let go!" she cries.
"I'm trying!" he desperately calls.
But try as he might the smart smurf couldn't hold on and Brainette's fragile hand slipped from his grasp.
"Brainette!"
Mint looks back at the commotion and makes a sharp turn back causing the others to stop and look back at what was happening. Mint zips passed Brainy going up into the air to follow the crow, she extends her hand to grab Brainette's. Once grabbed she pulls with all her might causing Brainette to scream in pain, for she is being pulled from both ends like being ripped in half. The crow, try as he might, just couldn't shake the pixy off and that kind of distraction caused him to not look where he was going, which caused him to-
Slam!
Right into the wall. He released his grip on Brainette causing the pixy and the smurfette to fly across the room, land and crash through all the potions and chemicals on Balthazar's lab table. Mint grovels up with a pain in her back, her wing is brokan...again! But Mint brushes of the pain scanning the table of shattered glass and chemicals for Brainette.
"Help!" a voice calls.
Mint looks around but sees no one.
"Help!"
"Brainette?!" Mint exclaims "Where are you!?"
"I'm here!" Brainette calls out.
Mint sees two blue hands hanging on to the end of the table, struggling to get up. Mint rushes over to the smart smurfette to find she was indeed dangling from the table. But the worse part was she over a cauldron, bubbling with some kind of hot chemical.
"Mint!" Brainette snaps the pixy out of her daze "The cauldron! Its gunna explode!"
The earthly pixy waists no time grabbing on to Brainette's hands trying to pull her up, Mint was overly tiered, she had no adrenaline left in her.
"I can't do it!" Mint cries tiredly.
"Yes you can!" Brainette supports.
"Brainette I'm sorry!"
"For what!? You did nothing wrong!? I should-"
"No, for all those years...I-I was jealous of you! I envied you!"
Brainette was confused "What!?"
"I didn't hate you Brainette!" Mint sobbed "I just thought if I made you miserable I'de feel better about myself."
"What did I have that you didn't!?"
"A mother, siblings, someone who loved you! Your smart, beautiful, useful...I wanted to be like that!"
Brainette was speechless.
"I thought," Mint continued "that you would just stay down but, you came back up much stronger!"
Finally after a few seconds of silence Brainette is able to find her voice "And you chose to tell me this NOW!" she exclaims "When that thing is about to blow us to smurfs!"
Brainette pointed to the cauldron bubbling the boil red liquid causing the castle to shake and shutter.
"Well I jus-whoo!"
Another rumble cause the pixy to lose her grip a little.
"I can hold on!" Mint cries.
Brainette shuts her eyes tight waiting for the worse, but the impact is never made. The smart smurfette feels another set of hands grabbing on to her's, she looks up to find no other then-
"Brainy!"
With Brainy's help he and Mint pull his mate up to safety, once done he holds and hugs her close relieved she was safe. But the celebration is short lived, as the cauldron spews out some of the red hot chemicals all around the dungeon room.
"Come on!"Brainy yells.
Climbing safely off the table the trio race to the stair case where the other smurf where waiting anxiously by. Klutzette looks to see her sister and friends coming their way.
"Look!" she points out "Their coming! Their coming!"
"Come on!" Hefty calls after them.
In a flash everyone was accounted for and raced up the stairs. Bricks and rocks were falling and tumbling every where, the group could hardly keep up. It was a race agents time, and right now time was winning. The smurfs and pixy had made it up the steps in an eighth of the time it took them the first time, yet still time was way ahead of the race. The castle exit was just feet away, Mint's clan had mange to put down the draw bridge, so everyone was running with every thing they had. And yet again fait has a sick sens of humor, Nursette came falling down the wrong way on her ankle.
"Handy!" she calls out desperately.
The carpenter smurf turns back to fine Nursette struggling to get up. With out thinking he races back, picks her up bridle style, and charges towards the exit.
The others had mad it out but still two where missing.
"Wheres Handy!?" Hefty asked.
"And Nursette!" Toughette puts in.
They look back to the falling castle to see two blue figurs racing towards the exit. Hefty and Toughette had to be restrained for them not to go after their two best friends.
"Let go!" they growled as they struggle agents 6 other pixy from Mints clan.
Handy and Nursette where just about to cross the draw bridge as the castle came crumbling down behind them, the bridge was braking. Handy kept running...
and running...
and running...
and running...
Snap!
The bridge broke and sunk down into the motte just as Handy slid him and Nursette to the safety of the other side. He and Nursette had curled into a ball as the castle fell behind them. They uncurled and Nursette looks into Handy's eye with a sparkle in her own, Handy blushes a bit.
"You saved me." she sighs out.
"Well, I um.." he trails off.
The nurse smurfette cups the handy man's face gently, leans in close, and plants a passionate kiss on his lips. Now that surprised Handy at first but he soon melts into the kiss and kisses back as he wraps his arms around her small waist. The kiss was short lived though.
"Whoohoo! You go gettem tiger!" Hefty whoops.
Handy and Nursette pull away in shock and blush a deep redish purple.
"I told you he liked you Nursey!' Toughette giggled.
"Smurf-up Toughette!" Nursette snaps blushing even harder.
The rest of the smurfs and pixies can't help but giggle at the now embarrassed couple.
I hope ya'll like it, I'm not good with action seans :( But for all you Handy and Nursette fans out there that last bits for you, hope you like it ;-P But anyway REVIEW! I need 7 good ones! Peace, love, and chocolate ya'll!
