Chapter III: He Wants To...

Roger and Cliff had more pranks. Instead of punishment, they were doing it for fun. This would have been fun no matter who the victims were. It was twice as fun, though, because Albel was involved. It was so amusing to see him being embarassed. They had no idea that Albel was on to them, however.

Meanwhile, Albel was happily roaming the castle and actually taking time to enjoy the scenery. He was happy because he was not being pranked. Maybe those worms finally gave up, he thought. He gazed at the statues and such in the Great Chapel. They were so much nicer to look at than stone. Airyglyph Castle was always so boring. At least the Aquarians here had something pleasant to look at.

What Albel didn't know was that the pranksters were going to strike right now. Elsewhere in the castle, Cliff met up with Maria in one of the halls.

"Maria, I had a conversation with Albel the other day," he began. "It was quite interesting."

"Mmm hmm," Maria answered.

"It concerned you."

This got her attention.

"It was?" she asked.

"Yep," Cliff said. "You won't believe what things he has going on in his evil little mind."

"He isn't going to kill me, is he?"

"Oh no. He wouldn't want to kill you. He's obsessed with you."

"Obsessed with me?"

"Yeah, he's out of his mind. In fact, Albel revealed a lot of personal things of what he has planned for you."

"Planned? What? Planned?"

"Yes, planned. I'll have to whisper them to you, though."

So Cliff leaned near Maria's ear and started to tell her things. Her eyes started to widen.

"He wants to what?" she gasped.

"Uh huh. He really wants to..."

Albel walked into the hallway where the two were. At first, he thought they were about to kiss, considering that they were very close to each other's faces. But then he heard whispers.

"Albel wants you to have his kids," he heard Cliff say.

Maria gasped covering her mouth. Albel nearly did the same thing. Did Cliff say what he thought he'd said?

"Maybe we should go some place quiet. There are some inappropriate things he said," said Cliff.

The two started to head in the direction of the fabrication room. Albel took a different path. He went to the runological development lab. Luckily, Lady Elena wasn't there. If she was there, he would of been told to leave. If he didn't leave, she would've unleashed her wrath. Albel hated the wrath of women. It was dangerous even for him.

Albel entered the fabrication room from the top floor. He crouched down looking over the stairs. And there the two were.

"So, where were we?" Cliff asked.

"The kids," said Maria.

"Oh yeah. Well, he wanted two girls and a boy. But before that, how he wanted to get them from you..."

And then things he had never heard came from the Klausian's mouth. Many of the terms he used were not used by anyone on the planet of Elicoor II. Judging from the shocked look on Maria's face, Albel guessed they were very bad.

"W-What does that mean?" stuttered Maria.

"Heh heh, well..."

A new term was added to Albel's vocabulary. He did not like definition of it either. He would never do anything that perverted. This was apparently another prank by Cliff and Roger. Maria was kind of being pranked on herself, but Cliff was lying about Albel. There had to be more to the prank than this. Did they expect something to happen after this? And what the heck did it mean to 'get a hard one?'

"I've heard enough," said Maria. "I'm going to go find Albel and tell him something."

"Well, you do that. See ya around," said Cliff.

Albel quickly left the fabrication room. Lady Elena had returned and told him off for being in the lab.

"This lab is not for touring! This lab is for studying! You have no business in here!" she yelled.

He saw Maria at the other end of the hallway. Did he dare go and speak with her? She turned around and immediately approached him.

"Albel, Cliff told me some things about you," she said.

"Did he?" said Albel.

"Yes. And I have one thing to say..."

And with that, Maria slapped him across the face. He felt a stinging pain in his cheek. When this woman was mad, she was mad!

"Pervert!"

She slapped him again. The other side of his face recieved the same pangs. Then she walked away. From behind him, Albel heard laughing. When he turned around, no one was there.

All he knew now, was that this was war.

Chapter III complete! Hope you enjoyed! Please leave a review! I'll see ya when Chapter IV comes around!
