Chapter 9 ~ Torture Fight
Kurt lifted his eyes from the floor and wiped the dirt of his face.
'You miserable slimeball!' he cried
'Ouch! Help I'm so terrified by verbal insults!' mocked Toad.
He leapt down from the tree landing directly in front of Kurt, splattering him with yet more mud. Kurt coughed as dirt flew into his mouth and eyes. Spotting Kurt's signs of temporary weakness, Toad acted on impulse. Leaping straight onto Kurt's back he sent him crashing to the floor again. Then leaping immedietly back up, he made a perfect landing on seven branches above Kurt's head.
'Kurt!' shrieked Kitty 'Kurt are you alright?' Kurt didn't move.
'Let's not let the kitten caterwaul anymore. She'll wake the neighbours!' Toad spat a mouthful of slime into Kitty's face causing her to cease all verbal sounds. Her eyes however, widened in surprise and shock and she stared up at Toad with anger aflame in her light blue eyes.
'Kitty!' yelled Kurt. In light of Toad's attack on Kitty, Kurt lost all control. Abandoning all niceties and self-restraint he teleported into the air, coming to rest upon the same branch that Toad was standing.
'No Lance or Blob up here to save your neck you filthy creature! There's no vay you can vin this fight'
'Oh contraire le petit bleu!' smirked Toad
'Vhat do you mean ?'
'Look. The odds are against you you'll have to admit. I have you little sweetums stuck to that tree and I also seem to have dodged all of your tricks so far. I rather think I am going to win this for once'
Without warning Toad shot out his long, grisly tongue and wrapped it around Kurt's middle. Kurt tried to struggle, but it was no use. Toad's grip on him was to strong. The harder he struggled, the tighter Toad wound his infinite length tongue round his waist. Kurt began to cough and splutter from the lack of air reaching his lungs.
'Vhy-are-you-doing-this?' he gasped
Toad, however could not speak. He had extended his tongue to such a degree that it was stopping him talking. In response, he flung Kurt with all his might against a large oak in front of them. Kurt slid down to the base of the trunk. Dazed, he clambered to his feet, wobbling slightly.
'How does it feel to be on the losing side now, eh?'
In his mind, Kurt knew that the odds were most certainly against him. Right now, Toad had energy, Toad had his health and most importantly, Toad had Kitty.
'It feels great' Kurt thought sarcastically to himself as he tried to blink the stars out of his eyes 'Just peachy to know I can't do anything about my situation.' But to Toad he said-
'Losing side? I'm sorry, vere you talking about you and the Brotherhood?'
Toad landed with a soft 'thump' on the ground knocking Kurt flying to the filthy ground once more.
'The Brotherhood?' Toad spoke looking down at Kurt, sprawled out on the ground, 'Dear me, your mind must have been addled by that fall, Oh, speak of the devils, Hey! Blob! Great to see you again old buddy listen I need a favour-Wanda! My you're looking radiant this evening what's different, no, let me guess. New perfume? New hairstyle? New lipstick? New. . .er. .er. .New shoes?'
'Insect' snarled Wanda.
'Hey look' grunted Blob, pointing down at the spot where Kurt lay 'It's the blue guy from Xavier's school.'
Toad sighed.
'Yes, that's what I meant when I said I needed a favour.'
'You want me to smash him, right' grunted Blob.
'No not exactly, you see I want you to get out of the way, you're blocking my aim you see.'
'Oh' Blob stumped to the side looking slightly put out.
'You want me to move too?' said Wanda
'If you would my beauty it would be most appreciated' grinned Toad apologetically.
Wanda smirked.
'Let's see you fight him then.' She turned to Blob.
'Whaddya reckon, 5 minutes until he needs our help?'
'I put $10 on 2 minutes' laughed Blob.
'Done' replied Wanda.
They gazed over at the clearing where Toad and Kurt were staring each other in the eyes, neither willing to move incase the other struck first.
'Go on you fool!' Wanda cried 'Do something, at least run at him'
Toad seemed to come to himself.
'Oh, right' he sniggered. Kurt didn't have time to move. Toad sped along the ground sending dead leaves and branches in all directions and hurtled into Kurt's stomach just as the elf was getting to his feet.
A ear splitting crack told them that Kurt had again made contact with a large tree. However this time, he did not slide to the bottom. Instead as soon as he saw himself heading for the oak, he swung himself around in mid-air and slammed his feet into the trunk.
'What the-?'
Kurt ricocheted of the tree and aimed a kick at Toad's chest in mid flight.
'THUMP!'
Toad was thrown to the ground by the weight of Kurt's impact on his body. Kurt rolled off Toad as soon as he landed on solid ground and teleported onto the branch where Kitty was. Down below, he could see Wanda and Blob hurrying over to tend to Toad.
'Is he alright?' Kurt heard Blob questioning Wanda as she surveyed the now unconscious Toad.
'Yes, he's alive.But look, his arm's broken!'
'Oh well, never mind. Since he's alive that means you still owe me $!0' grinned Blob.
Wanda however, was now staring up into the tree where Kurt sat, attempting to free Kitty of the gunge on her face.
'Hey, You!' she shrieked up to Kurt. Kurt turned to look down at her.'Yeah, I'm talking to you, you useless ball of fuzz! I swear you'll pay for what you just did to him, I swear, I will make you pay'
'Wan. . .' Blob began, but Wanda silenced him with a glare.
'In fact' she began 'I think you can start your repayment now. Starting with her' she pointed up at Kitty.
'Hang on a minute, you're not going to do your switching probability thingy are you?' asked Blob, looking a little worried.
'Well, What else would I do?' snapped Wanda 'He'll pay, I'll make sure of it.'
The sky above them darkened and thunder sounded from the ebony clouds.
'Did you know?' snarled Wanda 'That the likelihood of being struck by lightning is about as much as winning the lottery? Well, I don't think that applies to you anymore.'
Kurt glanced down at her, fear flickering in his eyes. He tried to teleport but somehow he couldn't move. He couldn't do anything except stare at Wanda.
Suddenly, without warning, it hit him. It was as though boiling water was being poured into his mouth, down his throat, inside his very heart. He felt like he was going to explode. A sensation like a thousand stinging wasps and pins and needles ran it's course in a never ending loop round and through his body. Kurt gasped as he struggled for breath, electricity still surging through his veins.
He sank onto his knees, pain was penetrating his bones, creeping, speeding round his organs, heating them with the very fires of hell. He swayed on the spot, blurs and colours danced in front of his eyes making him feel nauseated and sick.
'Oh let it be over, let it finish, to end' he moaned 'Let me die, let me die now!'
He fell backwards, hitting every branch as he went. He was only dimly aware of three pairs of eyes on him as his head made contact with each branch, splintering them as he tumbled towards earth.
No sooner had he hit the ground, the pain died away. Aching, he breathed heavily and his breath came in short, sharp bursts, not unlike a fish out of water. He could not move his head from the ground, he was stuck, pinned down by his own suffering. Above him he heard the muffled sound of voices.
'Why does my father want her anyway?' asked Wanda
'How should I know?' replied Blob 'I'm just acting on orders.'
Fear flooded Kurt's body like never before, they were going to take Kitty. He must get up, he must rise from the floor, he must save her. . . but still his body refused to budge. Then, he heard another voice, much deeper and cold.
'Get the girl and Toad' the voice said 'Leave the other'
The other? Him? Was he this 'other'. If he was, Kitty was going to be gone. He tried to force himself upwards but the pain still tied him down and his aching limbs were so immensely painful that he sank to the floor in defeat, eyes still shut, afraid of what he might see if he opened them.
The footsteps slowly died away and Kurt was left alone in the clearing. Above the treetops, thunder rumbled and rain began to pour once more from the heavens.
