L P.O.V.
"AAAAAAH!"
I flew around the Castle frantically, letting my eyes pass over the scenes of rubble, of destruction, devestation and despair. That clown had gone too far! The stupid, freaking little pile of donkey shit... I'll kick his ass!
Blood was splashed across the walls. The windows had piles of rubble sitting on their sills. It looked as though the floor had heaved upwards and was now a large mass of rubble. Dust lay like icing over everything. After a few minutes foraging, I found Mimi's diary and pen sitting on the floor of one of the corridors. It looked as though half the Castle had been blown up. In the meeting room, there was an enormous hole in the wall. The lights had been smashed. The rooms were one of the precious few things that were not demolished.
I heard some rubble being dislodged behind me. I whirled round and saw Dimentio playing with some rubble, a light smile on his face. I felt anger sear through me.
"YOU MURDERING BASTARD!"
With a yell, I threw myself at the son-of-a-bitch, rugby-tackling him to the floor. I grabbed at his throat, but he clicked his fingers and teleported away, gasping for air. I lunged, roaring, but his head snapped up and encased me in one of those Grambiforsaken magical boxes. I yelled and beat at the walls with my fists.
Suddenly, the door blasted open in a flash of golden energy, and Raven walked in, her mouth gaping wide open.
"L?" she said. "Dim? What's going on?"
"Raven!" exclaimed Dimentio. The magical box, without Dimentio's attention, shimmered into nothingness, and I hurled myself at Dimentio, delivering blow after blow. Staggering, Dimentio tried to dodge, but I was upon him. Soon, we were rolling around on the floor, kicking up dust. The jester's nose was bleeding, and my head had a nasty scratch, but we still fought in the dust.
I regret to inform you that Raven soon found out.
"STOP THIS FREAKIN' INSTANT!" she bellowed, and as her sash's outline glowed gold, so did her gloves, and me and Dimentio. We were seperated instantly, but we still struggled against the aura that held us.
"Lemme out!" I yelled.
"Let me go!" shouted Dimentio. "And note how I say 'Let ME go'!"
"I'm not lettin' anybody go 'till somebody tells me what the frikkin hell's goin' on!" demanded Raven, and we both fell silent.
"He destroyed the damn place!" I roared, pointing at the jester.
"I most certainly did NOT!" snapped Dimentio. "Why, I was simply prowling around Mimi's room, when I heard some explosions not far away. I figured that it was nothing, and continued searching for the child's diary. THEN, I come here to find the meeting room destroyed, and you accusing me of demolishing the place! What folly!"
He tried to laugh, but I could see that he was secretly afraid. Afraid, and angry.
"I swear that he destroyed the Castle!" I yelled stubbornly.
"I don't give a crap who DID it," growled Raven. "I just wanna know how we're gonna FIX it."
"The Count will know something," I said immediately.
"You are so loyal, it is foolish!" laughed Dimentio.
"Wait a sec..." muttered Raven. "Has anybody seen the Count since the wreckage? Or anybody else?"
Me and Dimentio slowly shook our heads. Then, it dawned on us.
Our friends had been captured.
