Psychic Connection

Beastfire: Hello, peoples! Chapter 10 is here! YAY!

Now that they had a little time away from Skeleton King, the Monkey Team decided to see about contacting Ivy. Antauri sat in a meditative position and concentrated. (A/N: The italics show the conversation that they have psychically. Thank you and carry on.)

"Ivy."

In the Citadel of Bone, Ivy hovered through as steadily as she possibly could on her way to find Skeleton King, being inebriated as she was. She stopped when she heard Antauri's voice in her head.

"NOOO! What's with the voice in my head? WHY MUST THE VOICES TORMENT ME?"

"Ivy, calm down. This is Antauri."

"Really? Ya sure?"

"Yes. How are you doing?"

"Not so good, except for the fact that I found some vodka and some weapons."

"How is Frus?"

There was silence on Ivy's part.

"Ivy?"

"I-I-I don't wanna talk about it."

She walked on, ignoring Antauri's voice in her head.

Frus glared up at Skeleton King, ready to kill him.

"You're gonna pay for what you did," he growled, flames almost visible in his eyes.

"I did nothing, Frus. You're the one who had her life in your hands, and what did you do with it? You foolishly threw it away. This is your fault and your fault only."

If Frus weren't so infuriated, he would have let this get to him. But he was determined. Since he didn't have any of the swords he'd created earlier, he created a new one out of speconfor, as it was unbreakable. He charged at the overlord and stabbed him in the leg, making him fall over.

"THAT'S FOR IVY!" he shouted.

"Wow. I didn't know you cared," came a voice Frus never thought he'd hear again.

Both Frus and Skeleton King whirled around and the latter's eyes narrowed.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!" yelled Skeleton King, right before Ivy shot him with the AK-47 in the chest.

"Yeah? Well, guess what…wait…Frus! You're not dead!"

"Not since the last time I checked," he replied.

Then, emotion took over, as Ivy pounced on Frus and actually hugged him (awwww)!

"Holy crap, I thought Skeleton Cretin killed you!"

"I thought he had you eaten by Ryuketsu!"

"Actually, I drowned Ryuketsu. And sometime after that, some idiot hit me in the windpipe with some big metal thing! When I catch the bozo that did that, I'm gonna-"

"Erm…"

"You know who did it?"

"Hello. My name is Mr. Bozo," said Frus, blushing, sweating, and shifting nervously all at once.

"Dude! That was you?"

"Sorry about that. I thought you were a Formless or something."

Behind them, Skeleton King began to get up. Frus was able to see him and saw him take the sword from his leg and come at Ivy. He thought fast and rolled to the left, bringing Ivy with him. Then, both got up and Frus managed to control his sword without having to hold onto it. Imagine Skeleton King's surprise when his stolen weapon became pointed at his face! His eyes widened as he realized that he no longer had control over it. Frus made it slice both of Skeleton King's arms off, but wanted his head to remain intact so that he could watch himself bleed…if he could bleed. Before Skeleton King could go after his arms, Ivy set fire to them. The evil overlord felt the pain from the burning of his arms, and then there was one thing left to figure out…how were they supposed to get out of there?

Beastfire: That's chappie 10! Sorry this one was short too, but if I didn't end it there, who knows how long I would have gone before hitting a cliffy? Next time, Ivy and Frus search for a way out, the Monkey Team searches for Ivy and Frus, and a surprise enemy makes an appearance. Care to guess who it is? Anyone who guesses gets a chunk of wax…mainly because I saw the movie "House of Wax" last night and it was AWESOME!

Ivy: Dude! I saw that movie! And Frus came with me!

Frus: Yeah. But why were you laughing so much when that one girl named Paige got killed?

Ivy: She was impaled through the head, and played by an exhibitionist bimbo! That was INSPIRED!

Frus: O.o Oookay…
