Marquis stood at the front of his squard, preparing for the breakout.

"Here's the plan." Said String Theory. "I hit the wall with my planet cracking devices. As soon as a crack appears, probably after a few hours of bombardment, Black Kaze rushes in and opens a passage, and we rush out."

Everyone nodded.

"Now there will inevitably be some of Dragons drones there, and as you sacrifice you lives to distract them, I will be going back to my lab to finish the Sun Crusher. Your sacrifice will be forgotten when I use it to kill everyone."

There was silence for a moment.

"Can we use a differant plan?" Called Teacher. "Preferably one that doesn't require us all to be dumber then my thralls."

String Theory frowned. "Well, I guess we could band together to fight off Dragon's drones, then all run at the same time... But I prefer the plan which has all you losers trapped here."

"Why don't we put it to a vote?" Suggested Marquis. "All those who don't want to die horribly, raise your hands."

Everyone put their hands up.

"It's decided then." Said Marquis. "We all live."

"This plan sucks." Muttered String Theory mournfully, as he activated her planet cracking weapons.

It took roughly three hours for the villains to scratch the wall, at which point, Black Kaze sliced, and the walls fell.

A large cry rang out, as the occupants of the Birdcage charged.

"They're all idiots." Said Marquis, as the inevitable betrayals began.

Gavel walked through the hoard, backhanding everything that apprached a metre of him, tearing through the ranks.

Lab Rat threw formula's everywhere, turning people into literal guinea pigs.

Canary sang a little tune, and everyone nearby stopped, and began attacking everone close to the exit.

"It's a bit pathetic, isn't it?" Noted Teacher, as he walked through the chaos to the exit.

"I must say," Began Marquis, as people around him mysteriously lost their skeletons. "I'm suprised you aren't betraying anyone."

Teacher snorted. "I may be an evil dick, but I'm not that stupid."

Smiling, Black Kaze began turning people around her into chunky salsa.

"She's a bit terrifying, isn't she?" Asked String Theory.

"She's one of the two people capable of permenantly killing someone." Replied Teacher. "She's terrifying by default."

Ingenue had the sudden urge to shout 'Foreshadowing!'

"Well, here we are." Said Marquis. "One step to freedom."

Teacher looked around, back at all the unconsious and dead villains.

Black Kaze was the last one standing.

Then she vanished.

Teacher had just enough time to say 'Fuck' before he found a blade stuck in his brain.

String Theory fell a moment later, and Black Kaze stood in front of Marquis.

"You didn't perma-kill them." Noted Marquis.

"No point." Replied Black Kaze. "If I perma-killed anyone here, I'd run out soon enough, and wouldn't have anyone to kill."

"Fair enough." Replied Marquis.

There was a beat.

"This was fun." Said Marquis. "See you next Thursday."

Black Kaze flickered, and Marquis fell apart on a molecular level.

Shrugging, Black Kaze turned around and walked back to her cell.


"The really funny part," Dragon said, as she repaired the wall. "Is that I don't even have any special defences here. Birdcage is just a normal prison."
