4 years before Plague Of Shadows

"All right everyone, stay in position." the castle was on full lockdown since rumours started circling about that the crystal skull was going to be stolen tonight. The castle was notoriously strong in offence but somewhat lacking in defence. Having on one side huge castle walls and a tall steep mountain on the other, practically unclimbable for most

Key word is most, as a small statured alchemist called Plague Knight has scaled the impossible with his partner in crime Mona drawing transmutation circles around the mountain

"All set on your end?" Mona said hands firm on her hips as she admired her work

"Everythings ready, shall we give them the biggest boom those suckers will ever see?" Plague Knight started fidgeting witn the catalyst which was of course, a bomb

"Let the booming commence" Mona replied in a swirling motion

"Three, Two, One, Go! Hee haa hee hee haa haa haa" The guards saw a humongous green explosion surround the mountain resulting in a landslide, which takes down all the south wing defences.

"What the?! okay men I want the ground troop diverting into two groups, one stays here and the other defends the south wing" the warden exclaimed while the ground troop skidaddled away

"Well then, guess I'm off" Plague knight prepared his basic burst

"Stay safe Plaguey" she quickly said as he flew of, using a combination of basic bursts and spin bursts. as he approached the ground he switched to a float burst in an attempt to get by without a noise.

"Suckers" Plague Knight mumbled as he landed on the main tower and quickly took down the tower guard. He dashed down the stairs and hear very loud roars "They have a Hell Hound? oh boy. Talk about over kill" Mona heard it too

"No way, a Hell Hound? I guess its fine as long as he has his" she noticed the appropriately named Big Boom. "He forgot it?! Guess I'm heading out as well" she said, grabbing a glider. She did not have the agility of plague knight, but she's still pretty fast.

He quickly made it down and passed by the main hall, where the hellish three headed Monster stare at him roaring, at least 10 meters tall, the black fur was light enough to see the pulsating veins and muscles and the huge teeth snarling as the guards started running towards him.

"Hee, that thing wont stop me" Plague knight said as he jumped, landing on the very throne the king would sit on

"I wouldn't be so cocky, this good boy has taken on battalions leaving the battle with flesh wounds" what was presumably its trainer started readying his whip. "Go Winston!" he said with enthusiasm, cracking his whip as the Hound charged showing its colossal teeth on all Three heads

Plague Knight tensed up, knowing that a slight mishap would result in his demise. As the Hound surrounded him from all directions and swung the main head Plague knight used his spin burst to roll across the centre, throwing two Cluster bombs in two of the three heads splitting his attention. The guards were wondering if they should try to bring Plague down, but decided against, fearing the thing

Meanwhile, Mona was in a guard disguise. She didn't take too long finding her partner, since he wasn't exactly stealthy considering his opponent. She watched with a mix of amazement and horror since her partner was walking a thin line. He'd already noticed the lack of Big Boom, so he was improvising, adapting but never quite overcoming

"What if... I bring down the castle? thats sure too kill him right? He mumbled as he started coordinating his jumps, each burst leading the gallivanting Pupper crashing into the columns, the roof quaking in unrest until Plague knight finally miscalculated, not taking the speeding tail into acount he crashed into it falling, sliding across the floor paralysed with pain as the hound towered over him, its shadow enveloping its body as Mona came to the rescue, throwing the Big Boom at a pillar, collapsing the roof on the Hounds back, the multiple tons of stone eventually slayed the beast but Plague Knight was shielded by the beast.

The guards initially prepared to charge, but decided against it since the smoke obscured their aim. Mona however ran, with her pin point memory she found her partner in no time. "Plaguey! are you okay, can you stand" she whispered to her partner, who gestured away

"I'm fine, if not a little winded" he still accepted her support " I'm umm, mainly concerned with our escape" he said showing her the fabled Crystal Skull

"Oooh it glows, how do you suppose" she saw him give her a disappointed glare."On a more pressing matter, I do have one idea" she said with a knowing look

"Oh I like the way you think Mona" he said approvingly

After around 6 minutes of preparation, the smoke started dawning a green hue, as a voice illuminated the room "The beast lays down, symbolising the dawn of a new age" Plague knight declared

"Identify yourself at once fiend, who do you work for" the warden felt in controll of the situation, cannons ready to shoot. He slowly approached the smoke, halberd in hand

"Oh our research knows no master" Mona informed him, fiddling with a freshly made parachute

"All you need to know is that the plague is back" Plague Knight scoffed at his ignorance

"What, the magician?" the warden mocked his tries of intimidation. He started seeing the husk of the Hound, noticing hairless pouches and transmutation circles

"We're no magicians" Mona corrected the fool as Plague knight took over

"We, are ALCHEMISTS! HEE HEE HAA HAA HEE HEE HEE!" He ignited the smoke, making it combust in a raging inferno, creating a draft caught by the parachute propelling the pair to great heights in the beautiful night sky, polluted by the city lights.

They quickly found a rooftop for Plague Knight to rest. He held his ribcage holding his breath "Plaguey! You're injured" Mona said applying pressure to his ribs, secretly feeling him up.

"I'm sure it's, heh, just a flesh wound" He rested his head against the wall, to tired to argue

"Look Plaguey, if I hadn't acted back there, you would have died" Mona looked at him sternly. I can't have you dying yet, please be more careful.

"Oh please, I had everything under control" he tried to change gears but she wasn't having it

"Well it looked to me like you were about to be dog food" Plague Knight avoided eye contact

"It's a risky job, like most of my missions. I'll probably die in one of them either way" He started speaking in a monotone voice

"You cant die yet, we need to finish my research" Mona tried alternative reasoning "And if even if its inevitable, don't just stop trying like that"

"Like what?" Plague Knight started blushing, under the mask

"When you fell, you just waited for him to kill you. Not even a struggle" She was also blushing by now

Plague Knight grew silent for a while, before finally breaking it with a "should we head to the Potionarium? I'm kind of tired" He changed the subject, not wanting to upset anyone.

After they finally reached the lab tye magicist was quick to notice that something was up "Oh Plague Knight! You hurt yourself" she hurried with some potions and a wet towel

"Oh you know me, wearing scars like medals" Plague Knight shrugged

"Well you sure don't like showing them off" The magicist gestured towards his cloak and mask

"Well, we also have good news" Mona intervened "The crystal skull has been successfully retrieved" she raised it high like a glass of champagne she was aching to drink

"So now you can finally finish that machine of yours huh?" the magicist was clearly checked out, as she tried to lay Plague Knight down on a table

"Ouch, that hurts!" Plague Knight said resisting the magicist who was pouring what she called the 'Opsie Doopsie' on the affected area.

"Yeah, its pretty bad" the magicist ignored the moans of an injured crow

"Like, how bad" He wondered, holding in pained laughter

"hhhmmm, a week of rest maybe?" the magicist was pinching the area, looking for his reaction. Mona was quite envious that he didn't protest "I'm busy, could you look after him?" the magicist pointed at Mona

"I guess I'm not working much outside of the lab" Mona was ashamed of her realisation

" great, then I'll be off" the magicist ran away from the pair as percy dashed in, muscles shining with sweat and ass stone hard

"In comes the stallion , braided locks, and no one can compare, to his harder cock" He swept in watching Mona's face erupt. She wasted no time, as before Percy knew it he was caught in a devastating scissor lock

"Say that again you horse faced freak" she tightened her grip on his neck as he tried to escape her legs she shouted "oh where do you think you're going"

"you know my motto, once you ejaculate make sure you evacuate" he muttered as she gave him a stone cold look, tightening the lock even more as his face was caught anywhere between pain and ecstasy.

"If only I was between those thighs" Plague Knight muttered before subsequently pinching himself

"Hmm? what was that Plaguey?" she wondered, as Percy's moans were forcing her to speak louder

"Nothing, just going to hit the hey" He tried to dig his way out of the scissor lock of fate

"oh yeah, guess I'll go to" she said as she released the horseman.

"how could you overpower me?" Percy wondered, raising an interesting point

"Look man, her strength doesn't come from muscle" Plague Knight muttered, having had to deal with this himself

"Y'got that right mister" She whacked him on the back and he subsequently fell

"Breaking news, Mona attacks crippled midget" He snarkily commented

"Serves you right" Percy stood tall, in the midst of the chaos
