Poisonous Outcomes:

The boys kept their glare, before they knew it though, Tristano threw down a smoke bomb which helped with blowing out the light system. Luckily for the boys and others, though, they were all keeping their guard up as the fighting started. As the smoke started to clear the boys were able to see that the girls were gone, as were Tristano and his cousins.

Tristano, his cousins, Kyros and Leander, who had the girls, escaped through a back door as the chaos erupted in the building. They ran into the woods that were around the abandon factory. When they were a good enough distance away. Tristano stopped. He glanced at Kyros and Leander, the girls still glaring at him.

"You two know what to do." He spoke. The guys, especially Kyros smirked with that as they looked at one another.

"You sure you will be alright?" Leander questioned.

"We have our cousin's back, besides, by the time they get through all of those pawns, we'll be ready." One of the cousins replied.

"I swear…" Jackie was about to speak, even Kendall was about to say something.

"As much as I would love to hear your girls' lovely remarks, I'm afraid this is where our paths part." Tristano chuckled. "Shame you won't be able to see me beat your boyfriends. Although by the time I'm done with them…well…" He had a malicious expression, bending down to their level. The girls just narrowed their eyes further. "I'd say good luck, but you're out of it." He said, straightening up, still being smug. "Take them." He directed his attention to the two holding them now, then to his cousins. "Let's go, I want to be ready for Buttowski and Magnusson, I know they'll be on our trail soon enough." They we're quick in leaving. Leander and Kyros roughly grabbed the girls again as they went the opposite direction, the girls not liking what this could mean.

(**)

As the smoke cleared completely, the others were fighting Tristano's army. Loraina and Nicolette were taking out quite a few, while Dante and Eli had their backs, striking some rogues, even knocking them out. Brianna and Mouth were flipping over some rouges, hitting and punching them, as they fought them, that when they would hit or strike them, the rouges would get tossed towards Kick or Gunther, the two, instantly, would knock them out with their lightening or strength.

"You guys go!" Loraina exclaimed at them. "We got this!"

"She's right!" Nicolette elbowed another rouge down into the ground knocking them out, before flipping over and kicking one into the wall. "Go find the girls!"

"Teena, Scarlet, go with them, we'll come when we're done here." Brianna instructed, glancing at the two who just finished knocking out a group of rouges on their side. They nodded, quickly leaving. As the rest stayed dealing with the rouges that were left.

"Think we'll have to deal with anything as we leave?" Scarlet questioned.

"Knowing Tristano, yes." Gunther hated this.

"He planned for this." Kick reminded. "So stay on guard."

"Got it." The girls nodded.

"You boys go after Tristano." Scarlet told them. "We'll keep our eyes peeled for anything else." The boys nodding as they quickly got on his trail.

(**)

The girls had no clue where they were as Leander and Kyros were dragging them further through the trees, the two still fighting and throwing insults at them. Although the grips the two had on them was hurting their wrists the more they did so.

"I think this is far enough." Kyros, suddenly stopped, roughly tossing Kendall against a tree. Leander couldn't help the small snicker that slipped past his lips.

"You that impatient?" He questioned.

"I think I have had enough of this bitch's struggles, plus of her tongue and everything else." He replied. Kendall glared.

"You ass." Kendall remarked.

"Is that all you guys do is act like brainless pawns." Jackie commented. "You realize Tristano is just going to throw you both away like he did his army."

"He's only out for his own interests and the interest of his family's, apparently." Kendall added. "You two really think you both are safe? Especially against who their going up against?" The boys just rolled their eyes. Leander seeing a large flat rock and roughly pushing Jackie on it. She felt some similar pain that she experienced before, her stomach and ribs hurting again, as she glared. She was lucky though, as she was at least able to breathe just fine this time.

"You two really don't know why some of us joined Tristano." Leander responded.

"Not that two humans like you would ever understand." Kyros mentioned. "Seeing as you're nothing more than the pawns yourselves." He laughed, holding her hands above her, the shackles tightening for some reason. She tried to kick at him, but he lifted her off the ground, then used his other hand to hold her cheeks. "As much fun as it would be to do more…" He glanced at her up and down. "I think the best part is going to be having your blood and killing you."

"Oh I don't know, I think they could provide some entertainment…" Leander spoke, as he also had Jackie's hands above her, his other on her thigh. Her eyes widened when she heard that. "Though yours might give a bit more than mine, seeing as though they're both feisty humans, mine sadly lacks in some ways." He chuckled. Even Kyros laughed at that.

"Jackass…" Kendall remarked through her scrunched up cheeks, hearing that.

"You're in no position to comment." Kyros roughly shoved her against the tree, which caused her to lose some air.

"Kends…" Jackie saw that.

"You should pay attention to what happens to you." Leander stated, starting to slide her shirt up. She was about to kick at him, but the force he used on her thigh caused a wave of pain to course through her. She let out a small inward scream. "If you look at me, it might go less painfully for you." She glared at him.

"Nothing….nothing….it….it won't work….ass…" She breathed out, her body in more pain. He quirked an eyebrow.

"So you're like her?" He shrugged. "Just makes this more fun for us." He chuckled, leaning in. "Like Kyros said, we get the blood and to kill you both." He spoke near her ear, which she hated that he was that close. It was an awful feeling she was having all over her body. She wanted him off, since he was on top of her practically, with the way they were positioned now. "Although, I get to have more fun, since I get to torture you more with my own enjoyment, and your friend there…" He glanced over at Kendall. "Gets to watch." He had a maliciousness in his tone. "And neither of you two can do anything about it." Jackie just narrowed her eyes. Kendall hated what she heard as well. Kyros chuckled.

Leander leaned in more wanting to taste her blood, Jackie trying her hardest to scoot away. However, he was rough in how he handled her shackles and kept a pressure on her that was making her want to scream out in pain, especially where his hand was on her thigh. She thought her bones would break.

"You….assholes!" Jackie got out, finally speaking as she needed to get it out through her pain. She was not going to die without a fight. Both boys just rolled their eyes. Kyros, going to enjoy torturing Kendall as well, seeing as he hated the fact she fought back so much before. Not to mention, he was the type to not let things go. He wanted her blood. He leaned closer, getting ready to bite her.

Both girls closed their eyes as they didn't think they could win this. However, when they opened their eyes they found Scarlet and Teena there to help them. Relief over flooding them. Teena kicked Leander hard into a boulder, before slamming and smashing him into the ground. Kyros went to attack her, but Scarlet used her abilities to lift both boys, her glare evident on her features.

"Teena get the girls and get them out here!" She demanded. "I got these asses."

"You sure?" Teena wanted confirmation, as she helped Jackie up, who was relieved to be saved from this incident. Teena then going to Kendall and helping her.

"Yeah." Scarlet had a sort of look that Teena recognized. "Besides I want to take care of things with these…you-know-what's." She spoke. Teena nodded, before directing her attention to the girls.

"Come on, let's go." Teena told them, leading them out of there. Scarlet glanced back as she watched before looking at the two, she narrowed her eyes. She slammed them down with her levitational ability, both getting up slowly.

"Scarlet, long time no see…" Kyros glared. "Thought I saw the last of you in Athens…"

"So did I, but it seems to me, you like to rear your ugly face up in places you don't belong." Scarlet responded.

"You know my disdain against several established things." He stated. "Plus Tristano had an intriguing proposition that I really couldn't say no to." Scarlet rolled her eyes.

"More like your disdain towards the pures and humans hasn't faded, which drove you to accepting Tristano's offer." She corrected. "I can only assume your friend here has a similar story."

"The pures are the reason we have been in hiding too long, if they let us come out, we could finally do as we please. It's the humans…and others that are the problem." Leander commented. "If the pures were on our side things would be better."

"You two are a laugh." Scarlet chuckled, she raised them up again. "Personally I don't care what your reasons were, but doing what you were about to do to my friends." She had a look that was menacing. "Even more, your hatred towards humans, which seems to not want to change…" She continued. "That's unforgivable, and will be dealt with now." She slammed them back into some trees, the trunks snapping as she did so, before bringing them back and smacking them into the ground. "You will not be hurting my friends again…"

(**)

Teena got the girls out of there, beginning to use a different path through the woods wanting to get them to the cars and avoid as much of the fighting as possible, however some of the previous guards they knocked out woke up. They came in for an attack towards Teena. She was able to kick two back, keeping the girls protected, as she threw another at the last one. She glanced back at the girls.

"You two get out of here and go hide." She warned. "I'll come get you when it's safe." She explained, still fighting them, as one came in with a hard swipe that she thankfully dodged, flipping back, before swiftly dodging another blow as the person seemed to be not only going for her, but wanting to go past her as well. She glared, grabbing them by the arm before they got too far, swinging them around, then tossing them at the three other guards, as they all fell back into some trees. She cracked her knuckles ready to do some more damage on them.

The girls quickly did as Teena said, their hands still bound. They didn't realize as they ran someone coming after them, until something swiped at their backsides. They were lucky enough to only feel the breeze of the attack, as it caused them to trip and stumble down a small hillside. They felt that pain as they rolled over branches, roots and rough patches on the ground. Both girls slowly got up, looking at each other, Kendall noticing a rock behind Jackie.

"There…" She pointed, a little out of breath. Jackie looking behind herself. "Let's use this." She crawled over to her, grabbing a smaller, but still dense rock.

"The chains?" Jackie questioned, in a similar, if not rougher state than Kendall, but was able to gather what Kendall was suggesting. Kendall nodded.

"We're useless tied up." She placed Jackie's chain on the flat edge on the rock, slamming the smaller one down a few times to break the chain. Once it did, Jackie did the same for Kendall.

"There I think that's better." Jackie felt better, though still didn't like having the shackles on her wrists, but with the chains broken it was a lot more freeing. Although, the pain she was feeling everywhere, she wanted to ignore.

"Much." Kendall agreed. "Come on, we have to try and either find a safe place, where Teena was taking us, or our friends." Kendall got up, the pain starting to hit her, as was the thought of who could possibly find them. But she had to will it away.

"Right before the other side finds us… might be best to stay within the shadows or something…" Jackie suggested, also getting up, letting out a small sound of discomfort.

"With who were up against, I don't think that will matter." Kendall commented. "Let's just go and quickly." Jackie nodding.

(**)

Kick and Gunther followed Tristano's scent, where they found him with his three cousins. All of them glaring at one another. Immediately Vincenzo and Ricco went in for an attack towards Kick, while Valentino and Tristano went for Gunther. The cousins occasionally switching off between who they would send their next hits to, whenever Kick or Gunther would strike them back, seeing as they thought there was a new opportunity, the cousins would switch or be a few steps ahead in how they dodged and countered. The fighting continuing on like this for a while.

"Where are the girls Tristano?" Kick demanded to know, as he went to strike him with a fist full of lightening, however Tristano swiftly dodged, a smug expression on his features, which only pissed off Gunther and Kick more.

"By now, probably no longer a problem." He merely responded, which neither liked. Both went in for a hit, however Ricco and Valentino were quick to come in with some counter attacks with their own abilities, one who had sonic booms generate into a blast each time he used his shock waves, while the other came at the boys with thorny vines. Gunther and Kick had to be quick on their feet to avoid their attacks, Gunther using his strength to hit the ground to get Valentino unbalanced and stop the shock waves. This caused Gunther to go in for a strike of his own, seeing an opportunity since Vincenzo was starting to get up, since the attack knocked him back. He punched a fist full of lightening into Valentino's face, before kicking him into the air, then grabbing his arm throwing him towards Vincenzo knocking them both towards several trees.

Kick took care of Ricco, as Tristano watched intrigued by the entire fight. As Kick dodged another hit from Ricco, grabbing his vine, he began to pull him closer, whipping him up then swinging him around, releasing him so he be thrown back into Tristano. Tristano, shook him off, glaring at Kick, as he got up. "You're just pissing me off now." He remarked.

"We can say the same." Gunther retorted, letting out a huff, having enough of this.

"I guess it is time to end this." Tristano cracked his knuckles, his nails growing a bit. Both boys glared. Gunther noticed Valentino, the only one to come back, stepping past some fallen trees, shaking his head, before glaring at him. Gunther let out an irritated growl. 'This ass needs to stay down already…' he thought. 'I know, I'm getting annoyed as well.' Kick agreed in a shared thought.

Tristano came charging as did his cousin, Gunther and Kick ready to dodge. The two weren't prepared though for Valentino to send a shock wave to the ground, causing a similar effect that Gunther would do, as it sent them back, Tristano going in for the attack, first striking Gunther across the left side then kicking him back before striking Kick across his abs. Kick was able to hit him back with a lightening jab however, as the two separated. Kick and Gunther felt their wounds, the sting burning more than usual. Tristano smirked.

"Asshole…." Kick spat out.

"Enjoying my talent." He questioned, his tone wicked. "Unlike some of my other family members, you'll find my ability is a bit more poisonous and toxic." He chuckled. The boys narrowed their eyes, as the pain intensified where their wounds were. "And can't be healed with the usual means, especially for those who haven't been keeping themselves, shall I say, fit." He continued. "The toxins will spread throughout your body quickly and cause quite a….excruciating experience." He smirked. "But who knows, pures like you might be able to handle this one injury…" He shrugged. "If I was only going to let it be a single hit."

Tristano went in for another attack as did Valentino, this time Kick and Gunther were more prepared as they avoided the two's strikes, trying to counter with their own moves, but the pain from their injuries were getting to them and slowed down their movements. Tristano took advantage of that and went in for more hits, adding more slices to the boys' bodies, causing them more pain. Gunther not liking these odds used his strength and lightening against Valentino, throwing him at Tristano for good measure.

He felt his side and abs, where a majority of his wounds were, the pain excruciating, as he weas starting to get out of breath and feel numb in certain parts of his body now, as was Kick, both glaring and having scowls aimed towards Tristano and his cousin. Tristano shoved his cousin off, both shaking the stings of the electricity off their bodies, as they too were a bit out breath, however Tristano was trying to will it away. He enjoyed the fact that he was able to bring Kick and Gunther to such a point. He chuckled more. The two narrowed their eyes at him.

"To bring the great pures to their knees…" Tristano smirked. "My cousins would be so proud." He raised one of his hands, cracking his knuckles again, prepared to strike more.

"I don't think we're quite on our knees…" Kick countered.

"Far from." Gunther added.

"By the time I'm done." Tristano narrowed his eyes. "You boys will be begging for mercy." He spoke. "And with how my poison is…" He had an evil smirk. "Plus given your weak bodies." He chuckled. "You're not up to par to how you use to be, so I won't have to wait too long."

"As if." The two retorted.

"Let's end this. Shall we?" He was going to strike again. The boys were ready.

(**)

The girls tried to stay on guard as they went through the forest. They heard distant sounds that they assumed were from the fights, which they tried to distinguish what direction exactly they came from, however found it hard since the fights sounded like they came from all around. As they slowly made their way through the forest, though, they thought they heard some familiar voices which caused them to go towards them. As they passed a few bushes they saw the fight between Kick, Gunther, and Tristano happening. Both not liking how it was turning out.

"This fight is not looking good right now." Jackie was concerned.

"No…" Kendall agreed not liking the fact both boys had severe wounds from Tristano and it was poisonous apparently.

"Kends…" Jackie glanced.

"We have to do something." Kendall nodded looking around her, finding something she thought could be useful, an adrenaline and urgency rushing through her to help. She picked one up for herself then gave one to Jackie, then throwing a rock at Tristano's head, before he could have another blow at Kick and Gunther. "Hey!" Everyone turned when she did that, the fighting seeming to cease, as Tristano had an annoyed, somewhat surprised, and peeved look aimed at them, while both Gunther and Kick were shocked and concerned. Both girls just returned the glare at Tristano.

"You two…" Tristano snarled.

"Something the matter?" Jackie inquired. "Things not going the way you want?" He narrowed his eyes.

"You two need to get out of here now." Gunther warned.

"No, let them stay." Tristano chuckled, a wicked smirk appearing on his features as a thought occurred to him, while Valentino tried to go in for another attack, except Gunther was able to tackle him down, kicking him through several trees. When he turned back around, he gave a hard stare at Tristano. "Things might get interesting."

"Like hell they will…" Kick countered, his look just as threatening as Gunther's. Kick went to attack him, but he dodged him, which Gunther thought he might take advantage of that, however Tristano seemed to know and avoided the hit. He was able to strike both the boys in a counter move, which wounded them more, placing them in more pain as they were trying to catch their breaths again.

Jackie and Kendall did not like that. Jackie throwing her rock at Tristano, and Kendall picking up a few items to make a make shift sling shot, while Jackie just grabbed a long vine, both hoping to use it against him. As they proceeded in their quick motions, more adrenaline coursing through them, they were able to have their own attacks against Tristano; he was growing quite irritated and angered. He snarled at them when they would strike him.

"You girls are quite annoying and gutsy…" He remarked.

"You brought us into this." Jackie reminded, her feisty attitude still evident.

"It's like you said, we're just helping finish this." Kendall added. "Besides it's only fair." She mentioned.

"What was he said Kends?" Jackie glanced. "All's fair in…"

"In love and war." Kendall finished. He narrowed his eyes harder at them.

"You know…" He looked over at Kick and Gunther. "I would have thought you would have chosen smarter girls, especially with how they were in school, all considering." The girls just kept their hard stares on him. "And with such an ample opportunity to live, you would've thought they would have taken it?" He glanced back at the girls.

The boys not liking where this was going as they tried to attack again, but he kicked them back harder, using his nails on them as they both struck some trees. They coughed up fluid and more, looking at him with hard stares, hating this even more. Tristano just had an evil expression. "Not to be this stupid." He continued to speak, before he was quick, going behind the girls knocking them to the ground and the stuff they had out of their hands. "And risk their lives like this…but I guess I was wrong." He glared at them.

Jackie tried to think, looking around her for something else, but he rolled his eyes, tossing her back lightly. The hit doing damage though, as it knocked the wind out of her for a few brief seconds when she sunk to the floor. She felt the pain in her ribs again, hoping she didn't break them again. She narrowed her eyes at him.

He grabbed Kendall roughly by her arm, tossing her next to Jackie, before grabbing the girls by their throats, chuckling. "It be easy you know?" He wasn't using his nails, as he felt he didn't need to. He thought his strength would be enough, however he wanted to enjoy this torment he gave them a little bit longer. The girls were struggling in his grasp, trying to figure out any means to get out of his grasp and escape. He shook his head. "It settling in now? All of it? The danger," He started as he held them up against the tree. "Your stupidity, and how you shouldn't have taken this so lightly? Maybe even how you should've ran?" He snickered. "Rethinking some things girls?" He smirked. The girls narrowed their eyes.

"You….You….should…..should….rethink….refocus….yourself…." Kendall managed to get out. He rolled his eyes.

"And why's that?" He inquired.

"Because…we…were…..weren't…your…weren't …your targets…." Jackie replied as she reused that phrase on him. His eyes widening when he realized what she meant by that as he turned around, but it was too late. He dropped the girls hoping to block the lightning strike that Gunther and Kick were coming at him with, however he couldn't. Gunther used his strength, able to send him flying back, Kick used his speed to catch up then sent him into the air, before sending him back down, both having a final knock-out blow with their lightning again as they sent him through some trees and dirt. "They were…" Jackie was able to smile as was Kendall as they both tried to stand.
