Lord Malachite

Malachite was sitting on a throne, red eyes shone brightly. Antauri smirked at his work, it wasn't easy, but he had broken Malachite's spirit down enough for the Bone Comet to affect him. Antauri looked up as Ryou walked in with Caitlyn..well...carrying Cait really.

"And what have we here?" Malachite asked, looking at Ryou.

"Had a little trouble getting away, Onyx tried to stop me," Ryou told Malachite.

"And the girl?" Antauri asked. "She can't be turned against the others," Ryou nodded,

"I know, but mutants do have their properties," Ryou smirked. Cait growled and thrashed angrily, Ryou couldn't hold her any longer and she leaped out his arms and glared at him. Malachite got out his throne, walked down the stairs and pinned Cait against him with one arm, using his other hand to keep her face still so he could look at her.

"Let me go," Caitlyn said darkly, Mal stared at her. Cait started getting worried she tried to avoid looking at his eyes, but she just looked slightly and it felt like he was piercing right into her soul, she shook uncontrollably. Mal smirked.

"I'll take care of her Ryou," Malachite said

"But my lord-" Ryou started

"Are you going against my word?" Mal snapped, Ryou shook his head and bowed, before leaving. Malachite nodded his head to the others in the room to leave also.

"What do you want with me?" Caitlyn asked, managing to say it without her voice quivering. Mal turned to her and lifted her chin and pulled her closer. Cait swallowed hard, not quite a gulp. Mal leaned closer and whispered something in her ear, causing Cait to blush furiously.

"W-What..." Cait shook her head and tried to free herself. Malachite held her securely, he brushed a piece of stray hair off Caitlyn's face and tucked it behind her ear, making her freeze. He looked at her softly, causing her to blush more. He picked her up in his arms and walked out the room via a door behind the throne. Caitlyn was too shocked to struggle.

"Don't be so tense," Malachite said soothingly, Cait didn't know what to do, so she looked down and did nothing. Malachite carried her into a large, pretty cool bedroom, then walked through an archway into a separate room that had no door to the hall, the only way out of that room was through Malachite's, he put her on the king sized bed and took his cape off and put it on her.

"H-Huh?" Cait looked at him, trying not to look too scared. Mal knelt down so he was at the same height was Cait was and stroked her cheek softly.

"Rest, you need it," Malachite told her, Cait looked at him and shook her head.

"I-I don't trust you..." Cait said.

"And you trust the others?" Mal asked. Cait didn't reply and looked down sadly. "Just as I thought, rest for now," he stood up and looked at her, Caitlyn looked back for a moment, before looking down. Malachite put a hand under her chin and lifted it slightly.

"Why am I here," she asked, afraid of what would be her answer. Mal closed his eyes and smiled slightly.

"Because you're meant to be here," he replied, he leaned towards her before kissing her on the forehead and leaving. Cait's eyes started to close before she collapsed on the bed, asleep.

"My Lord?" Nova said, seeing Malachite return to his throne.

"No one enters my room, at all, is that clear?" Malachite said, Nova nodded.

"Yes my lord," Nova bowed and left. Ryou bowed and entered the room.

"My Lord...I'm curious to know what you have done to my wife?" Ryou asked, Mal looked down at him before getting up and walking down to him.

"...She isn't you're wife any more Ryou," he said, in a flash he had taken Ryou's ring off his finger and walked off, leaving Ryou stunned.

"But sir-" Ryou started

"Another but?" Malachite warned, Ryou gulped before Mal clicked his fingers and Antauri and Gibson came in and dragged Ryou out. "Do what you must,"

"Yes my liege," they replied and took Ryou into a room, where they could inflict the full power of the Bone Comet on Ryou.

"What about the girl sir?" Sprx asked

"Well, I'll sort her out soon," Malachite replied, slipping on Ryou's wedding ring onto his own finger.

"And if she escapes?" Otto asked

"She'll come back, I know she will," Malachite told his father. "I know what I'm doing,"

"Then how will we sort out the hyper force?" Nova said, bring the robot up on a screen.

"Take out Onyx, then Chiro, and I want one of you to be in charge of the triplets," Malachite started

"Triplets?" Otto echoed, clearly being forgetful.

"Caitlyn's kids," Malachite sighed, Otto laughed nervously.

"Oh...those triplets..." everyone just shook their heads.

"I'll handle it," Antauri said, taking his claws out.

"No! I want them alive and unharmed," Malachite snapped, Antauri nodded and put his claws away. "And you can do whatever you like to the others, but Onyx is our biggest hurdle,"

"I'll handle him, don't worry," Gibson took out his drills and the tips started glowing. Mal smirked

"Good,"
