Invincible
Jareth and Harold crept through Elric's stronghold silently. Jareth's crystal had led them this far, but now they were on their own. AS they searched for Sarah, Harold had been thinking. With Sarah as the only heir to the throne, should Jareth's courtship be successful, the Human and Goblin Kingdoms would be united.
This bloody road remains a mystery
This sudden darkness fills the air
Not that there was a Human Kingdom to rule over.
But Sarah would have a t least ione subject. Harold would makie sure of that. He hadn't even ahd to think about it. He would pledge himself to his sister's service. And surely those survivors who had gone Aboveground would be willing to come back, right?
What are we waiting for?
Won't anybody help us?
What are we waiting for?
They looked carefully through yet another dor, and there she was, asleep in the giant cage Elric had been keeping her in. Their eyes were immediately drawn to the blood-encrusted line on Sarah's cheek. "That bastard," Harold muttered.
We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
Jareth frowned. Finding Sarah had been too easy, he thought, moving with Harold over to the cage. "Why do I get the feeling we're walking right into a trap?"
This shattered dream you cannot justify
We're gonna scream until we're satisified
"Because you did, Goblin King," came the menacing voice behind them. Elric stood there, his dark robes making his pale skin appear even more so, his features full of malice. "Such a lovely creature, even for a filthy little human. But you're too late. A little scratch from a poison-dipped fingernail, and now, she's slowly dying."
What are we running for?
We've got the right to be angry
What are we running for?
When there's no where we can run to anymore
Harold, pissed as hell, lunged at Elric. The Dark Elf was surprised, not anticipating such a bold move from a mere human, but he quickly recovered, throwing Harold across the room. "A foolish move, what your little lacky just pulled, Jareth. Now bow down."
We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
"Never," Jareth growled, a crystal quickly forming in his hands. He trhew it at Elric. The crystal shattered on impact, piercing Elric's skin. "I defeated you once before, Elric," Jareth said, "And I'll do it again." He barely had time to throw a quick healing spell at Sarah before Elric got rid of the crystal shards.
And with the power of conviction
There is no sacrifice
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
"You had the rest of the council behind you, last time, Jareth. I don't see them now." He then threw his own curse, hitting Jareth squarely in the chest. Jareth fell backwards as large bruises formed all over his skin.
Won't anybody help us?
What are we running for?
When there's no where, no where we can run to anymore
Harold, meanwhile, had recovered, his hand reaching into his pouch, where all the things he had collected as a dwarf still lay. Amongst them was one item he'd had seventeen years ago, before he'd ever come to the Undergroun,d. It was a small hunk of iron he'd been planning to use in an experiment on preventing oxidization. IT was old and rusty, but it still had a sharp point. And Elric, dependant on magic, would be easily killed by it.
We can't afford to be innocent
Stand up and face the enemy

We will be invincible
Taking a deep breath, he waited for Jareth to throw another spell. Then, before Elric could recover, Harold hurled his one weapon, hoping, as it hit, that it did its job.
And with the power of conviction
There is no sacrifice
It's a do or die situation
We will be invincible
