Review...

Evil jumped slightly at the touch of a paw on his shoulder. He whipped around and smacked it away. Kirimi stepped back, an odd fire burning in her eyes.

"Dammit, I told you to go home!" Evil seethed, feeling for his bowie knife.

"I say no." Kirimi pouted.

Evil clenched his fists and let out a low growl. "Look, asshole. I don't know what's with you or Petunia, but I was supposed to do this alone. Flippy knows he's too weak to fight this 'Captor on his own! He needs me, so I can get his stupid girlfriend and go! I don't need anyone else getting in the way! Especially not some fucking skunk with OCD and a brain-dead, dumbass, worthless, santa-hat wearing fox like-"

Kirimi struck Evil in the face with all her might. The green bear staggered backwards, swearing that he almost saw stars. Almost.

Kirimi's eyes were glazed with tears and filled with hurt. She was breathing in ragged gasps, as if she was shocked at what she did. "Evil," she choked out, her voice laced with rage. "I...I really thought...I thought people meant something to you!"

Evil let out a bark of laughter that hurt his jaw. "Please, bitch. Give me a break."

Kirimi didn't seem to hear him. "Petunia...put her life on the line...to help you! And now she's dead!"

Evil turned around to leave. "I don't have time for this."

"I...I wanted to help you."

"You've made that clear." Evil walked away.

"I wanted to help you...because Flaky's a friend. Because your strength is amazing and... because I liked you." Kirimi gritted her teeth. " But now I can see you have no room for emotions."

Evil did his best to ignore her, he barely stifled a shudder. Of disgust? More fear. Liked me? Please.

"And since you don't care about me or anyone else except yourself, I'm coming with you whether you like it or not!"

Evil whipped around to face the blue fox. "What the hell-how can you say I don't care! If I didn't care, why would I have let Petunia live when she partnered up with me? Why did I follow through with her plans? Why am I rescuing Flaky? Why am I letting you live right now? Because I care about something."

"What?" Kirimi retorted.

"Getting this shit over with so that Flippy's happy."

Kirimi snorted. "Since when did Flippy mean a damn to you?"

Evil dropped his gaze. "Always."

He turned and fled towards the door.

"Wait!" Kirimi cried. She rushed after him and grabbed Evil's arm, who violently shook her off.

"Back off, bitch," Evil grunted.

"No!" Kirimi tightened her grip around Evil's arm. "What do you mean 'always'? Do you-"

"Look," Evil raged. "Flippy means everything to me. I saved his life in war, and you know what he did? He tried to get rid of me. I was so pissed. I couldn't let him forget me, I wanted him to know I was still here. So time after time I showed up, reminding him that he wanted to destroy me. To tell him he deserved these transformations."

Kirimi blanched.

"But even still, he did his best to keep me at bay, and I realized he didn't want to get rid of me. He wanted to free me from his body so I could be my own. I wouldn't exist, but then-" Evil broke off. 'Why am I talking to you."

The blue fox reached out to touch him, then changed her mind.

"If...if you want to help me, fine. But the second you're hurt, you're on your own." He shoved her to his side. "I owe Flippy everything. I'm not going to fail because of you."

Kirimi bit her lip. "We won't fail. I promise."

Evil sighed, doubtful. He reached out towards the doorknob and gripped it, his other paw barely a hair away from unplugging a grenade in his jacket. He shut his eyes and frowned. "Here we go."

He pushed it open and-nothing happened. The room was dark and dingy, reeking of soil. Kirimi blinked. "This is disgus-"

BLAST!

Kirimi and Evil shrieked as a blast of heat from behind caromed them into the room. They fell to the ground and the door slammed shut, apparently on its own. The room was thrown into darkness, Evil could hardly see.

"Welcome," a deep voice crowed. "I am the Captor."

Kirimi heard Flaky shriek somewhere close by. Tail bristling, she crept towards the noise.

Evil searched around the room for the source of the Captor's voice, unaware that Kirimi had gone. "Alright asshole, I'm here."

"Come to collect Flaky, I'm sure." The voice whispered in Evil's ear.

Evil swatted the space next to his face, but he only sliced through air. The green bear staggered to his paws. "Bitch. Not funny. Now tell me, who exactly are you?"

A sudden, lightning pain split Evil's head.

I am your worst nightmare, The voice screamed in Evil's head. I am the most powerful being alive, and I want something. Something you can give me.
