"Man, I don't know what 'kidXliz femdom yaoi' means, but the stuff in the bin labeled it was EPIC!" Said Liz, leaning against the wall of the descending elevator.
"I thought you'd like that." Said Z happily.
"Seriously, there was one where we tied kid spread eagled to his bed, then I grinded against him and did a striptease, and licked patty in gun form, and then I shoved patty up his freaking a-"
"L-L-Liz!" said Kid, embarrassed. Everyone else laughed.
"Say Z… I never got around to asking you… why'd you trash our apartment?" Asked Soul.
"Um, yeah. You see, I was sent on a reconissance mission to spy on you guys, but my memory repression must have been weak, because the second I heard you guys' names, it all came back to me. All the jumping around was a display of sheer excitement of meeting you guys."
"And the song?" asked Maka.
"A song of charging/happiness. They work my energy up, and give me one hell of a fighting boost. That particular one was called 'Dohvakiin'."
"dove-ah-keen?" Asked patty.
"Yeah. It means 'dragonborn' in dragon language. Incredibly long story."
"Hey gang…" asked Tsubaki, staring at the display which showed what floor the elevator was on. "is it supposed to be doing that?"
The display, instead of showing descending numbers, showed merely static.
"no, it's not." Said Z, walking over to it. "no, it's not…" he repeated, looking at the door.
"Ladies and gents, ready yourselves. My right ball is twitching, which means something bad is about to happen." Said Z, readying his weapons.
"Ew." Said Maka. The weapons transformed and leapt into the hands of their respective meisters.
"I'll take the first glance out." Said Z. he wedged his light blue armored fingers into the crack in the elevator door, and with a grunt, he forced it partway open. The elevator creaked and groaned and protested, but it gave way to Z's power suit. Z then stuck his armored head out the crack in the door, scouting out what was out there. The other meisters couldn't see because Z's body blocked the way.
Suddenly, there was a noise like somebody being electrocuted. Z's body quaked and shivered, then fell to the floor of the elevator, shoulders sliding down the still-forced-open elevator door.
"Z!" cried Kid, running over to him. As he knelt down to inspect his injuries, though, the elevator "ding"ed, and the doors opened.
To a shocking sight.
Dozens of plant men crowded not 10 feet from the door, forming a solid wall. In the center of it all was J, manning a gargantuan cannon. It looked like a mountable turret with a seat on top. On one side of the huge barrel was a glowing neon green glass orb. Looming in the background was a huge, plant-covered fortress.
"what on earth!" cried Maka.
"THE GOD BLACK*STAR DEMANDS TO KNOW WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE!" cried Black*Star.
J laughed. "simple. I activated the remote teraport function on your elevator, then warped it into a trap of my choosing.
"Now we can do this the easy way…" the plant men readied themselves, thorned tentacles sprouting from their hands.
"… or the hard way."
The meisters stood no chance against an army this size, and they knew it. Reluctantly, they surrendered, and the seven allowed themselves to be led away. Before they could be led into the fortress, though, Liz turned and shouted, "what did you do with Z?"
J signaled for the plant-men to stop. She hopped down from her perch on the cannon and raised a hand. At her command, a half-dozen plant men unscrewed the neon-green-glowing orb form the cannon, and carried it over to our heroes.
"see for yourself." Said J, as the soul eater cast gasped.
Green spikes on top. Sharp teeth. A desparate eye. Neon green skin.
And a swirling gash where the left eye should be.
J had captured Z's very soul.
