Rebecca and Kurt bamfed back into the kitchen. Rebecca glanced at Malcho.
"Well, well," she said. "You're awake. Get enough sleep?"
"Si, mi amiga," Malcho replied. "Muchos Gracias for placing that Sleep spell on me so that I could get some rest."
"No problem," Rebecca replied. "At least you're awake now. We're in trouble. Have you heard what's going on?"
"About the cyborgs? Si. Mewtwo has explained the situation. What are we going to do?"
"I'm going to give myself up."
The silence was deafening, but what followed was even more deafening.
~"You're going to WHAT?!!??!?"~
Rebecca winced. "Look, these cyborgs are being controlled by a human. Chances are that the human is back on Trivadia. I can give myself up and simply blow the control device to bits when I'm there."
Duncan shook his head. "No," he said firmly. "They want you dead. That laser blast I took for you should be evidence of that."
She rounded on the Immortal. "Do you have any better ideas?" she snapped at him. "No? Then kindly be quiet!"
"I have a plan," a new voice said.
~Who's there?~ Mewtwo asked. ~Show yourself!~
Zillas appeared seemingly out of nowhere. "Xellos is the cause of this. He decided that it would be a good opportunity to feed off of your negative emotions by telling the Angelheart family's enemies where the Queen Mother was."
Rebecca growled. "That, that…FUCKING FRUITCAKE!" Rebecca screamed in rage. "THAT DOES IT!"
An aura of power surrounded the sorceress as she literally blew a hole in the Adamantium plating with a Dynast Breath spell and marched outside.
~I feel sorry for the cyborgs,~ Mewtwo said humourlessly.
"We all do, amigo," Malcho said, just as an explosion rocked the palace.
*-*-*-*
Rebecca growled as she cut another Elite in half and blasted another into scrap metal. She stormed into the forest.
"SHOW YOURSELVES YOU COWARDS!" she screamed, unleashing a few Demona Crystal spells around her.
It worked perfectly. Moments later, the Commander's stealth camouflage shorted out, revealing him to the enraged Rebecca. She growled as she stalked up to him, knocking his guards aside as if they were rag dolls. She grabbed him and pulled him close.
"You wanted me?" she asked. "You. Got. Me."
He paled.

15 hours later…
"WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED HERE?! REBECCA!" Telca screamed when she, Lashana, Black and Remy arrived home from their vacation. Rebecca stuck her head out of her window and glared down at them.
"SHADDUP! PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP HERE!" she screamed down at them, and then she slammed the window shut.
Remy blinked. "Remy dink that we should be leaving Rebecca alone," he said. "Something tells dis thief that she's had a bad day."
~That's putting it mildly,~ Mewtwo said, teleporting over to them. ~We were attacked a few hours ago. We found out that it was because of Xellos. He wanted to feed off of our negative emotions, and knew that Rebecca was the former queen of Trivadia…so he called in a small army of cyber-assassins. Rebecca lost her temper and found their commander. He's…~
He trailed off. ~He's been watching re-runs of the Teletubbies, Barney, and Bob the Builder for the past 15 hours straight.~
Black gagged. "That's…evil!"
Lashana and Telca laughed. "He must have really pissed her off!" Lashana said. "Um, who's going to fix the front yard?"
Mewtwo fidgeted. ~Well, there were a few cyborgs that were still repairable. Beast programmed them to clean everything up. They're going to be fixing the palace too.~
"Kewl!" Lashana and Telca said in tandem.
Black and Remy looked at each other.
"And I thought that leaving Rebecca in charge was a good idea," Black said.
"I HEARD THAT!"
Black gulped and ducked behind Lashana, which didn't really help since he was much bigger than his Bonded. Lashana snickered.
"She's not going to hurt you, you wuss," she said.
Rebecca stuck her head out of the window and glared down at them. "There are ways to torture people WITHOUT hurting them PHYSICALLY!"
Telca smirked. "True."
"Shut up, Battleaxe."
"Turtle."
"I AM NOT A TURTLE!"
"You're right!" Zillas appeared in front of them. "Zellas-sama still says you look like a horse!"
Black groaned. "I can't win."
"You noticed."
"Oh, hardy har, har, Elfy."
Lashana stuck her tongue out at him and went inside for some coffee.
The End
