You Did WHAT?!

If she had known that he was there, she would have never landed there. If she had sensed his presence and not up until the last second, she wouldn't have been in this mess. Instead, the creep popped up at the most inopportune time and made some ill-chosen comments about her way of hiding. She decided to respond in kind by chasing after him while waving her mace around. Now, Filia was trapped in what seemed to be a storage room with the infamous Mazoku, Xelloss…

"You do know that I might be going to kill you two once we get out of here, right?"

Oh, and a young empress of the place they were at. Although Filia could tell that she was definitely human (unlike somebody she knew), she wished that the girl would dress up in something that didn't make her seem, well, evil. She couldn't find a better word and maybe she didn't even want to. This Master Cyclonis person seems to be one of those that despise people in general. And thinking like that, Filia felt that this was going to be worse than when she transformed in front of the Raptors.

That still didn't change the fact that she was trapped in here and with him of all people. Knowing Xelloss, he was going to turn this situation into something that would benefit him. Maybe trying to shay this misguided girl over to the dark side (if she hadn't already). Like she was going to let that happen on her watch! Standing up, Filia said, "Don't worry, miss! I'm sure that we'll get out of here soon."

"I highly doubt that," Cyclonis replied, "The door is reinforced so it can't be broken down and no one will hear us if we yell… And I feel that no one would mind me missing."

Xelloss looked over at her and waved his finger. "You shouldn't say that, Master Cyclonis. They'll definitely look for you once they realize you have the keys to your secret safe."

Filia glared at Xelloss, silently wishing he would just leave them alone. He certainly wasn't making the situation any better. Of course, it was meaningless to argue and she knew that very well. Standing out, she headed over to the door while taking her mace out. She then began to slam it against the door. After a few good slams, she took a break. But unfortunately, it was still standing.

"I told you it was reinforced," Cyclonis spoke up after watching Filia tried to beat the door down, "But I guess you would go with the more primitive approach, huh."

Filia quickly looked over at Cyclonis, her tail sticking out. "What does that supposed to mean!"

The young empress, despite staring at the face of a mad dragon, remained as calm as usual. "For starters, I saw you chased after a being whose body is not in a physical plane with a mace. It would be much more effective to use spell or crystal attacks than a primeval weapon."

"Ahhh, but I like Filia's primeval weapon," Xelloss cooed in response. This only made Filia angrier since not only was she insulted, but he was joining in on it too. At the very which, an idea popped into her head. It was something she was going to regret but desperate times call for desperate measures.

"Xelloss!" The yelling of his name quickly got his attention as he turned to Filia. "You can teleport out of here! You can find someone and tell them that we're trap in here!"

The Mazoku seemed to ponder this for a moment before finally, he answered, "I'm afraid that would be irresponsible for me to leave you two by yourselves." Filia's eyebrow twitched as she resisted the urge to pummel him into mush. He picked the wrong time to be concern about her safety.

Upon hearing Xelloss' answer, Cyclonis scoffed, "Like I would do anything to hurt your darling dragon." Both Xelloss and Filia jerked up, surprising that the empress would take their relation like that. And while he chuckled hesitantly, she waved her hands in a denial fashion.

"W-wait a minute! I'm not- He's not- We're not like that!" Filia blushed madly, not liking the idea of him and her together. Even during the past when Lina and the others teased her about it, the very thought of the two of them as a couple disgusted her… Yet, she slightly found it a bit pleasing as well.

Cyclonis wasn't convinced by her answer and decided to administer a series of questions. "You two know each other for a long time, right?"

"Yes."

"Do you have fantasies about him?"

"Oh, yes." Filia smirked at the fantasies she had about her finally giving Xelloss what was coming to him.

"Are these fantasies full of risqué pleasure?"

"Well, ther-! THAT'S NONE OF YOUR CONCERN!" Filia was bright red, wondering where Cyclonis would even get such an idea. She looked no more than Lina's age when she first met her, and this girl was already asking such a question.

"Now, now, Master Cyclonis," Xelloss spoke up while wagging his finger, "It's not polite to ask someone about what they think about. Besides, I know her fantasies are a mixture of hurting me and possible risqué pleasure." He then ducked from a punch from a frustrated dragon.

"Yours too, cockroach." As both Xelloss and Filia were locked in epic combat (Which consisted of Filia trying to hit him), Cyclonis sat and thought about the situation she was in. The more she thought about it, the more she realized how stupid it was. After all, she was trapped with a childish Mazoku and a dragon with anger issues. And one of them alone is worse than all her commanders put together (but only by a small margin).

"You know, I probably wouldn't be in here if you hadn't mess with my stuff." Hearing the young girl's words, Filia paused in her attacks. Now that she thought about it, Cyclonis did chase both her and Xelloss into this room once catching sight of them. And since she had just met her recently, it was clear who she was trying to chase.

"Xelloss…" Filia slowly turned back to the considerable guilty party, "Did you cause trouble here before?"

Xelloss smiled hesitantly before replying, "Well, I wouldn't call it trouble per say. I found it to be no big deal."

"No big deal…" Cyclonis twitched at his answer. "You may me lose all my hard work for the past several days. Not to mention I needed therapy after seeing that."

"Really? You didn't seem to look like you needed it when throwing me out the window."

"I would ask you if you have any shame, but I guess Mazokus don't know the meaning of the word shame."

"Excuse me!" Filia interrupted their friendly banter, "But what did Xelloss do?!" If it was like any of the pranks that Xelloss pulled at her shop, it was probably something that caused an exquisite damage fees.

There was silence for a few seconds before Cyclonis answered, "He took my clothes." Filia's eyebrow twitched a second afterwards.

"What?"

"You heard me; he took my clothes and played dress-up with them." An awkward silence followed as Filia let that sink in. She then slowly turned her head back to Xelloss with a death-inflicting glare.

"Let me get this straight," she began in a low, yet scary tone, "We're trapped in here because you raided a woman's WARDROBE?!" Xelloss sweatdropped, tasting the fiery rage the dragon was building. If there was one thing that any man should know, it was that they should never play with a woman's dress (unless the woman makes them). Of course, the final nail came from Cyclonis as she stared at the fuming dragon.

"Oh, I doubt your primitive methods would suffice for his punishment."

A talon grunt was walking past the storage room, whistling a happy tone until he was almost run over by a mad dragon chasing after a man that can fly without crystals. The first thing he thought after the "Oh my god, I almost die!" thought, was why there was a mad dragon chasing after a flying man. He then heard a cough to see Cyclonis sitting in the rumble, surprising alive.

"Well, that was interesting," she said as she stood up and brush herself off. After which, she looked over at the talon. "So, anything happened while I was trapped?"

The talon straightened up once hearing her question. "Well, we have an intruder who I think is invading your position." Cyclonis twitched but remained calm.

"Have you tried to remove them from the premise?" He hesitantly chuckled before pointing over to the side. There, she saw the most horrifying thing in history. A bunch of her soldiers were listening to a half-naked woman preaching about some new age nonsense… And buying it.

"All hail Zoamelgustar!"

Her stone-cold stare said it all. Slowly, she started to walk away saying, "Stay here. I'm going to take care of this." The talon remained there, afraid of what would happen. One thing was for sure: Cyclonis was definitely one who knew how to work out her temper.

Author's Notes:

This idea actually came from a picture a friend drew for an art trade… I should have finished it sooner.

So, Xelloss, Filia, and Cyclonis are trapped in a room together. I know there's one good ending punch line to this, but this is the best I could come up with. I think it's pretty good. I end with Cyclonis going to beat up Martina and knowing her, the aftermath won't be a pretty sight to watch.

Hope you guys like it!
