Xellos: What is she doing?

Chibi Cyris: I think she's hyper today. I never knew she could do cartwheels. I thought she was afraid of anything physical.

Cyris: *falls* x_X

Xellos: Who are you?

Chibi Cyris: ...I'm a kid she picked from DayCare.

Xellos: No you aren't, you're her Chibi!!

Chibi Cyris: I don't like being HER Chibi!!

Xellos: Do you know anything about her?

Chibi Cyris: *whistles* A lot. Well, first off, she has a crush on one of her flute buddies-

Cyris: NO I DON'T!!!!! *picks up Chibi and chucks her far, far away*

Xellos: So who do you like?

Cyris: NOBODY!!!

Chibi Xellos: *clings to back of Xellos*

Xellos: What the? Oh, now I got one, too?

Filia: *walks up*

Chibi Filia: *follows Filia*

Xellos: You have one?

Filia: *nods*

Chibi Xellos: *runs up to Chibi Filia*

Chibi Filia: Xellos!!

Chibis Filia + Xellos: *dance around*

Chibi Cyris + Cyris: *sweatdrops* Am I the only sane human here?

Cyris: Wait...I'm the only human... then I guess I would!

Chibi Filia: I love you, Xellos.

Filia: *blush*

Cyris: Well...ahem... that's a bit of deceiving information...

Xellos: *blink, blink*

Cyris: Oh! Hehehehe... hey! Um...Chibi Xellos!! *kneels behind Chibi Xellos*

Chibi Xellos: *breaks from dancing* Yeah?

Chibi Filia: *pouts*

Cyris: Do you know any of Xellos' secrets?

Chibi Xellos: Yeah! I know a lot of them!!

Cyris + Filia: *grins*

Xellos: *gulps*

Cyris: Could you tell us them?

Chibi Xellos: Why?

Cyris: Would you like to see them public humiliation of *jags thumb at Xellos* him?

Chibi Xellos: *grins and nods*

Xellos: *faints*

Filia: Let's say we start!

Half-hour later...

Filia: Favorite color?

Chibi Xellos: Purple.

Chibi + Cyris: Typical.

Filia: I'm out of questions.

Cyris: Som' I. Wait... do you like my story?

Chibi Xellos: *nods head furiously* Yeah! A lot!! *babbles on for five minutes talking about Cyris' story and how good it is*

Cyris: Bubbly, isn't he? *looks at Chibi Filia* How 'bout you? Like my story?

Chibi Filia: *shrugs* Not as much as him. *looks at Chibi Xellos*

Chibi Cyris: Shouldn't he be up by now? *looks at wrist as if watch were there*

Cyris: Wait a second... is that all the truth?

Chibi Xellos: *grins and nods*

Cyris: Can you lie?

Chibi Xellos: *nods*

Cyris: Is there a possibility that you lied to us?

Chibi Xellos: *nods* But I don't lie.

Cyris: *groans* But you twist the truth. So at least half the stuff is true. Maybe even three fourths. But defiantly not entirely.

Claimer: MuHAHAHAHAH!! There WAS a disclaimer (I hate that word), but now, a CLAIMER!!! I OWN the Chibis and their attitudes, so no shoplifting.

Cyris: Oh, yeah, before I forget, I believe that Mazokus can't bleed, regardless of what happens in the show. Capeché?

~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~" ~"~"~"~"~

"See any way to get up?"

"Nope." Filia sighed.

"Then how are we going to get that Kirina person out of there?"

"Someone could help us."

"Like who?"

"Like those ruffians behind us."

"And THEY know how to get up there?"

"Well, they're the only ones besides us, Glory lady, and Lina and Co. who are here. They could be part of the conspiracy."

"...You've got a point."

"Hey, who's the pretty lady hanging with the wimpy boy?" Xellos whirled around.

"Who are you calling wimpy??" The largest ruffian chuckled.

"You, boy." They were holding guns. Filia and Xellos knew because a bullet was right in their face. One of those net bullets.

"Oh great. This is wonderful."

"And we can't even get out." The two were picked up and hauled over to a large building, probably a hospital.

"Man, this girl's heavy!"

"Shut up!!!"

"Told ya, Fi-chan!!"

"I DON'T have time for you, NAMAGOMI!!!" The ruffians oohed, then burst out laughing. Filia's hand went for her skirt, but the ruffian holding her bounced the net and she almost flipped upside down. "Why you..." She started banging the guy on the head with her heals.

"Ow, hey, stop that, little girl!"

"LITTLE IRL?!?!?" The ruffians herded inside an elevator (the mind boggles, doesn't it?), and started upward for about ten minutes.

"Wow," Xellos muttered. The were carried into a big cavern with lots of holes in the ground. Big, deep ones, with bars across the tops. Looking down, one could see that the sides were polished smooth. The men neared an opened hole and stopped near it, dropping Filia and Xellos on the ground. Filia was bubbling with anger. She darted up and tried to run at the one who carried her, but was grabbed and tied up by someone behind her. So was Xellos. Then they were searched, with Filia first (read on to see why).

"What are you doing?"

"Searching." The checked her boots first, making sure that there were no knives or weapons hidden in them. Then they felt up her legs.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?!?!" she screeched, kicking one in the nose.

"Oi, this one's dangerous..." he murmured, reaching into his pocket to pull out a frilly, lacy, pink handkerchief and started dabbing his nose. Filia stared. Then the leered on Xellos. They grabbed both his ankles and his arms, much to his dislike. Once checked, Xellos' staff was chucked down the hole.

"Oh, yay," he murmured. The were pushed near the hole. "What are they going to do now?" Answer was given.

"I say she's more dangerous."

Thunk.

A club was pulled and hit, it's aim Filia's head. She fell, unconscious, into the hole. Xellos watched in fear (for once) as she fell.

"Oh, no," he whispered.

Thunk.

~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~" ~"~"~"~"~"~

Cyris: Hehe, I'm a nasty 'lil girl!!

Chibi Cyris: Yes, yes, we all know.

Cyris: Shut up.

~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~"~" ~"~"~"~"~"~

Xellos' vision swirled.

"Oh..." He felt dizzy and nauseous (if they don't mean the same thing). Dizzy from the fall, and nauseous from... something else. He touched his hand to the back of his head and his question was answered. His hair was matted, drenched with blood. He turned around to see a small pool of it. "I feel worse than if it were donated..." He muttered the healing spell and took off his cape. "Well, lookie here. My clothes are getting in worse and worse condition," Xellos said as he looked at his bloodstained cape. "Can't even fix it." He looked down at his arms. Maybe if he tore off the other sleeve, it wouldn't look so lopsided... He looked over at Filia, whose clothes were also torn, but no blood. She was still unconscious. "Guess she was tired..."

"Tired what?" Filia asked, sitting up. "Ouch... I can't believe I survived. What the? You did?"

"Yeah, lucky me." Filia rubbed the back of her head.

"What are we doing here? Those guys are brutal..." Xellos sighed.

"I know. The REAL question is how do we get out of here?" Xellos floated up, catching the eye of Filia.

"How did you do that?"

"Maybe not all magic is resisted." Filia mimicked him, still in a sitting position.

"These walls are smooth...I wonder how they make it that way..."

"I bet there's no tool that could make it this even. Possibly magic..." Filia ran her hand over the wall. Smooth. Even. No dents, no cracks. Perfect. "A lizard couldn't climb this."

"Course not." Great. One of his weapons used against him.

Cyris: X-tra long!! I did this all in one day!!!! I had a small case of Interest Block and Inspiration Block (don't go waltzing around saying that, they're copyrighted).
