Me: And welcome back! For those of you who read the Hiatus notice, you now see that it is down. For the rest of you...you can forget I said anything.

Groot: I am Groot.

Discord: And I am not asleep for this chapter.

Groot: I am Groot.

Me: Hey Discord, prank Deadpool.

Discord: Why?

Me: weren't you listening to Groot?

Discord: I can't understand him.

Groot: I am Groot!

Me: Groot! Do you kiss your mother with those lips!?

Groot: I am Groot?

Me: No! Anyways, Discord, Groot had said that Deadpool is asleep.

Discord: Oh! what an opportunity! I will prank him, posthaste! *he flashes away*

Me: Everyone, enjoy the chapter!

The sleeping warriors were all jolted awake by their cages stopping abruptly. DB groaned as he sat up. "I was having such a good dream."

Informant asked, "What were you dreaming about?"

"I had a castle of ice cream and I was ruling my own country with my queen."

"Who was your queen?"

DB stopped to think. "You know. I'm not sure. All I could tell was that they were about my age and had white hair. I don't know anyone like that." It was then that the door to his cage was opened and he was forced out. "You don't have to force me to do anything. I would have walked out on my own. Just a little slower."

Tigress had face-palmed at DB. "Why can't you take this seriously?"

DB shrugged. "I'm a goof. Deal with it." DB looked ahead to see what kind of building they were heading into. "Huh. Whoever this guy is, he likes big castles. Or just has an ego problem."

The group passed through the gates, which closed once everyone had entered. DB was looking around and opened his mouth to say something, only for a sword to be next to his throat. He looked to the wolf holding said sword. The wolf said, "Speak, and this sword will be put in your neck."

DB replied, "Don't you think this castle is a little dreary?" The sword was then plunged into his neck and pulled out. DB then said, "You know that hurt, right?" The wolf blinked. "I can't die, you buffoon."

"He honestly should have known that." All attention was turned towards the steps to the throne. There was a coyote standing there, who was a little shorter than DB. "I welcome you to my abode."

"It's great to be here, though it would be nicer without the handcuffs. And if you actually decorated the place. I mean, honestly, isn't having it all gray stone kind of give off a sense of...oh..What's the word I'm looking for?"

"Dread?"

"No."

"Foreboding?"

"No."

"Cold-heartedness?"

"No, though that does fit as well."

"Lonesome death?"

"No. If there were some blood red tapestries with some evil-looking black design on it, then it would be yes." The coyote nodded to some soldiers on balchonies around the room, and red tapestries with a black fist crushing something were rolled out. DB then nodded. "Yep. Now that's what it sends a vibe of."

"Yet, you don't seem to be an less cheerful. Why?"

DB shrugged. "I guess it's because I know I'm not going to die."

"But, you will be in pain."

"Yeah. But, pain isn't all that bothersome."

The coyote was about to say something when a feminine voice called out, "Father?" All attention went up to the throne, where a young, female, and rather beautiful coyote was standing. She was wearing a red skirt, and a matching shirt with a rose behind her ear. "Is this going to be much longer?"

"No, sweetie. Just give me a few more minutes." He turned back to the group, only to raise an eyebrow when DB wasn't paying attnetion to him, but was looking up at his daughter, with his tongue hanging out, tail waging, and panting. "Why are you looking at my daughter, Ruby, like that?"

DB didn't answer, but instead started walking forward. The soldiers began to attempt to stop him but the coyote held his hand to stop them. DB walked all the way to Ruby, who looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Can I help you?"

DB replied, "I just wanted to say that your eyes shine brightly, outshining the brightest of stars. The beauty of your face brings envy from the moon above. No other thing in creation has been chisled into as much perfection as you."

Grandfather let out a snort. "Who knew he could be so poetic?"

DB's master raised his hand. "Not the first time he's been poetic."

Ruby had just raised an eyebrow. "You are cute, but you are a bit of an idiot." She then shoved him with one hand and he fell down the steps.

He ended up on his feet right where he began. "She thinks I'm cute."

Crane replied, "She also called you an idiot."

"She thinks I'm cute."

Grandfather chuckled. "I think that's all he heard."

"She thinks I'm cute."

DB's master said, "And all he can say."

"Well, perhaps he'll be able to say something else after he's taken to the dungeon. Take them all to the dungeon and let them know of how well defended this place is."

The vulture landed and said, "Bring Informant to the torture chamber. I have questions for him."

"Don't I feel lucky."

"She thinks I'm cute."

The group was then led out of the room and Ruby came down the steps. "Who were those prisoners?"

"Someone who both I and our associate here want out of the way."

"And that coyote?"

The vulture replied, "He is the most dangerous of the group and has been a thorn in my side."

"He's the most dangerous? Are we talking about the same one?"

"The one that walked up to you. Yes. He's the most dangerous."

"How can he be the most dangerous?"

"He may seem harmless, but he can use just about any weapon and can take down armies."

Dungeon, a few minutes later

During the entire trip to the dungeon, DB had been repeating the same line every few seconds, making everyone ignore him eventually. When they got to the dungeon, the opening of the door evidently broke DB out of whatever trance he was in. "How'd we get here? Last I knew, we were in the throne room with the beautiful Ruby, who thinks am an idiot and cute."

"Seems you did hear everything. For the entire trip here, all you've said is, 'She thinks I'm cute' and annoyed all of us."

"Oh. Sorry."

Everyone was then shoved into three cells, except for Informant. DB was the only one alone. The doors were then closed. "Now, let me describe your new homes."

"Hey! Why am I alone? And why isn't Informant in one? I'm going to be so alone without anyone to keep me company!" Everyone gave him blank stares. "I'll shut up now."

"I'm not in one because they are going to torture me."

DB rushed to the bars and was panning to say something, but the bars shocked him. "Ooo! Shocking experience."

"Yes. Yo-" The guard was cut off by DB touching the bars.

"I'm shocked you guys came up with this."

"You se-" He was again cut off by DB touching the bars.

"Don't you like my electrifying personality?"

"No. Now, you see, th-" Again, DB touched the bars.

"Is there any electricity between us?"

"No. Can I just get through what I have to?"

"Sure."

"Thank you. Now, as you ca-" DB again touched the bars. Before he could say a pun, the guard yelled, "Stop touching the bars so I can talk!"

"All you had to do was ask."

"As you can see the bars are elctrified. It is o-"

"Only enough to keep us from trying to grab hold or break out. But, it can be turned up and probably will be once you leave. Just so you know, I'll still be touching the bars then." DB then touched the bars and kept holding on. Everyone just watched. After five minutes, he finally let go. "I like the shock."

Informant chuckled. "Shocking."

The guard was unamused. "Anyways. His majesty's associate had said it wouldn't deter you, so w-"

"Made it so if I pulled my bars off, an explosion killing the others would go off."

"Ho-"

"I noticed a little wire going from my cell bars and through the wall. So, I assumed..."

"Okay. The ceilings and walls a-" This time he was cut off by DB tapping on the wall. Then the ceiling.

"I'm gonna say...ten meters thick and below ground level."

"Yes. So, you won't be able to escape. The floors-"

"Are also thick, so we won't be able to break through to dirt and dig out."

"Will you ju-"

"Just let you get through this with no interuptions? No." DB smirked.

The guard huffed and began pulling Informant out. "Come on. Time for you to be questioned." The two of them left through a door at the other end of the hall.

Tigress imediately said, "Why were you so stupid!?"

DB didn't reply, but instead touched the bars, which had increased power enough for the others to see the glow from him. When it stopped, there was the smell of burnt hair and charred skin. "Woah. That's enough to stun the normal person for five minutes. But me, it just gives me enjoyment." The same lighting of the dungeon happened again. "I'm gonna enjoy living here for a while." Face-palms happened all around.

Me: Yeah. DB was a bit of an idiot in the chapter in more ways than one.

Groot: I am Groot.

Me: Great way of putting it.

Discord: I hope Deadpool enjoyed the prank I set up.

Groot: I am Groot!

*I burst out laughing* Me: That is rich!

Discord: What?

Me: Nothing! Well, review!
