I think I forgot to state that I came up with the mercenaries. Also, thank you Beastfire and 4Evermonkeyfan for your reviews!

Frus: Ivy, how can you be mad at me!

Chapter 4

Upon entering Rose's room, Frus sat down on the carpet. He started to imagine that he was somewhere else, so that he could distance himself from his body. Rose pulled him into a kiss and grabbed his arms, placing them where she wanted them. In Frus' mind, he tried to think of a way out of this. His only option, as far as he could tell, was to take out Rose. But since the weasel was such a good fighter, she could easily signal for help before he could do much. Then, an idea hit him.

Frus snapped back to reality, and realized that he was being dragged towards the bed. Summoning up his willpower, he picked a convincing voice and said, "Don't you want to play around a bit first?"

Rose's eyes lit up and she answered, "Oh, Frus, I knew that you loved me!"

Now that he had bought himself some time, Frus made some metallic liquid bubble up from the corners of the room. The more distracted Rose became, the faster Frus made the liquid flow in.

In the dungeon that the monkeys and Chiro were in, Skeleton King paced back and forth, thinking about what he wanted to do with them. Part of him wanted to take over their minds, and the other part wanted them to suffer. He decided to torture them first, which would make it easier to break their spirits anyway. He called in the fighters that Rose had hired. When only the girl and the zombie showed up, he was surprised.

"What! Where are the others?" he asked.

"I think Morgue said something about pealing the old guy's skin off," said the girl.

"Well, you two, hurt these monkeys, but don't kill them. I have plans for them," said Skeleton King.

The zombie immediately began to bash the monkeys with the handle of its scythe. It made small cuts with the blade as well. The blaster girl just decided to watch the team's pain.

Back in the other cells, Ivy was dreading what this man, Morgue, would do to her. He had decided to kill the old man first, and had sat in front of her as he did it. He had used a small pocket knife to peel off the skin of the man's face. He then pulled a vial of a strange substance from his coat and dripped some onto the man. Ivy had never heard such screams of pain before, and what was worse, Morgue watched it gleefully, and laughed at the man's pain. Eventually, greenish lines spread from the old man's neck and across his body. Then, he stopped moving.

Morgue walked over to Ivy's cell and just ripped it open, not bothering with the keys. Ivy backed up as far as she could. Then, the man's huge hand reached towards her. She quickly jumped out of the way and ran around him. She created some fireballs and began to hurl them at Morgue, but he just kept coming. She tried her pain kinesis, but he seemed to enjoy the sensation. He reached his hand for her again, this time making sure that there was no escape…

In Rose's room, Frus was almost ready to make his move. The liquid continued to fill the room, until it reached Frus and Rose.

"What's that?" asked Rose. No sooner were those words out of her mouth than Frus grabbed her and pulled her into the liquid metal. She took control and pulled him up above the surface. He began to laugh.

"It's over, Rose. That was dimethylmercury!" said Frus. Rose was brilliant when she wanted to be, and she knew that dimethylmercury was very dangerous. Without thinking, she hurried out of the door. Frus slipped out after her and went back to where Ivy was.

When Frus got back, he saw that Morgue had Ivy cornered, and without hesitation he jumped on him, scratching into Morgue's head with his claws. He summoned some metal and began creating sharp objects and making them fly at the man. Ivy summoned some fire and used it to help attack Morgue. For some reason, it didn't seem to help.

"Ivy, I'll hold him off! Try to find Gaia!" said Frus. Ivy nodded and hurried off…only to find the sword close by. Apparently, Rose had gotten sloppy. Ivy brought the sword back and saw Frus being strangled by Morgue. She stuck out with her pain kinesis, but this time, Gaia gave it a supercharge. Morgue began to scream in pain, and eventually, he collapsed.

Back in the dungeon, the zombie, Morgue's partner, suddenly stiffened. It slashed through the cage the monkeys were in and the neck of the girl who had been watching it torture the monkeys. It began to flow though the halls towards where its master was, breaking everything it passed, muttering one work over and over. "Chaos…chaos…"

The monkeys and Chiro, though in serious pain, left the dungeon. They followed the zombie as it went towards its master. And when it found its master they found their friends.
