He nodded arrogantly. "Yah, you did forget."
Suddenly a noise began to filter through from the floor: DARK! DARK! DARK!...
"Do you need your own personal fan club to take a little kid?" Ender made a fist while trying to figure out how to win a one-on-one fight with a god.
"Do you really think so? No, I'll kill you soon enough, after I figure out what's going on..."
Ender walked around the edge of the square until Takhisis' tail was within reach and yanked on it. The blue head whipped around the left side of the body just as the red whipped around the right, the black went over the top and the white came up underneath. "I wouldn't have done that if I were you. Just wait and see. I think there's something wrong."
Ender kept pulling. Takhisis pulled her tail back and a blue cage appeared around Ender. "Wait. Something's really wrong!" Takhisis muttered
Ender reached his hand forward between the bars, but a snap of blue lightning sprung from the cage, rendering it useless. "Not getting you anywhere..." Takhisis muttered.
Ender might have had a chance to respond, had a huge gold portal with five dragon heads on it not appeared in his square. He looked at it quizzically. Takhisis looked at it in horror. Ender noticed that the cage walls were fading. Now they were just a light blue. Something was happening in the portal. A figure ... had he seen it before? Was standing inside it. He held up a staff, and a moment later, he could see why: Takhisis was roaring, coming after him. The mage, for that was why he was, surely, sent a bolt of power strait at Takhisis. With that, he saw why the figure was familiar, he was the opposing team's rook. But the power seemed to do nothing to Takhisis, just edge her out of the portal too. Then he chanced a look at the real Takhisis, only to see that she was fading too. The cage around him had disappeared now, and he was free, but he still stared transfixed as the scene before him unfolded. In the meantime, the two figures were fighting. The mage's blows seemed to actually be hurting the god now, and Takhisis' responses grew less and less powerful. Then, suddenly both Takhisises disappeared and so did the portal and mage. Ender looked over at the rook who had been in the portal; he was crying.
He cupped his hands around his mouth and yelled, somewhat unnecessarily, across the board, "Your move."
