Andrew stirred as he awoke. He looked around. "Ugh where am I?" he asked. Around him he saw strange familiar creatures. Next to him he saw the Minotaur he faced at the dance and the creature he saw the others face on Aqua. "Ugh this can't be Erebus. This isn't even Tartarus. I need to figure out where I am".
He tried to get up and walk but was pulled back. "Ok now I'm defiantly confused. I should have gone to the heavens to join the immortals but I'm chained to a wall. Where am I?"
A doorway opened. A man walked in. It was a man from his dreams. He was covered in red armor. His eyes were blood red. Instead of fingers he had sharp claws. His cape was sort of torn. Andrew couldn't see his face.
"Let me go," Andrew demanded. He pulled against the chains.
"Oh please with way your treated I would be your closest friend," he chuckled.
"Not true," Andrew yelled. "Besides Alex my closest friend is either Lanie or Kristina. But I won't see them anymore. I'm dead".
"You are not dead," the man said. When something turns to dust at death they are taken here. I choose what to take so I saved you from death".
"Thanks," Andrew said. "Now let me go. I demand it".
"I can't do that. If I do you will go back to Alfea and just get hurt". There were a bunch of tiny screams.
"What was that?"
"Nothing, don't worry about it".
He repulled at the chains. "Erg what do you want?"
"I just need your help". His eyes glowed brighter. When they were done he lifted up a small spherical item. In it were his friends in their room.
"I'm glad Andrew's finally gone," Andrew saw Sou say. "Now we can conquer the world".
"Us too," Alex said nodding.
Andrew was shocked. "With everything we've been through," Andrew said. "How can they just toss me aside like some toy they have out grown?" He started to cry then quickly stopped. "No, I don't believe you. They wouldn't do that".
The man laughed. "I guess I need to smack some common sense into you". He whacked Andrew across the face. The metal armor hurt. "Believe me?" Andrew shook his head. He whacked him again and again.
Eventually Andrew begged. "Please stop you remind me of my ex-cousins," he cried. "Please stop".
"Ex-cousins eh? Fine you don't have to believe me than maybe you can tell me where the Codex has been sent".
"Codex I thought that was destroyed?"
"Nope it was recreated thirteen years after it was destroyed. The codex is a naturally created item. It is created out of thin air and then sent somewhere. Now it doesn't just give someone the power of the Realix but now it also gives someone the power of the ancient Titans".
"Is that true?" Andrew asked. "Erg even if I knew where it was I wouldn't tell you. I wouldn't tell anyone".
"Fine," the man said one last time. He whacked Andrew across the face one last time. This time he couldn't hold on. He passed out.
"Ugh we will never get out of here," Pandora complained. Pandora had on a black pair of long thin pants and a black thin t-shirt with long sleeves. Over it she had a bronze breast plate and armor that covered her thighs and lower legs everything else was revealed. Along her waist was a belt with a sword. Her long black hair was in ponytail. She had red eyes that were blazing with anger. "I hate being in this cramped place and I hate this outfit. I'm the pixie of war. I'm supposed to have almost everything covered in armor".
"Chill Pandora," another prisoner said. She had long blond hair that was done up in a ponytail with a white headband. She wore a bright pink dress that was just a little above her knees. A white vest covered the top part of the dress. Her feet were covered by a pair of white boots. Her blue eyes sparkled like a clear night sky. "Can you just calm down. I realize you are the pixie of war but can't you just be calm".
"Shut up Alison no one wants to hear you run your mouth," Pandora yelled.
"Well at least I wasn't kicked out of the village as a baby for having an evil power".
"Why you little…" Pandora was about to swing her sword but two pixies held her back. The one that had stood in front of Alison had long dirty blond hair with blue highlights. It was done up into two pigtails. Her outfit was just a navy blue dress and a pair of silver ankle boots. Her eyes were light blue.
The one that grabbed Pandora's arm had curly blonde hair that went all the way to her mid back. She wore a light blue dress and a light blue flip flops. Her eyes were light blue.
"Let go of me Ariana". Pandora released her grip. "You are lucky Alison that Ariana and Estella were there to stop you".
"Girls can't we just get along?" A pixie asked. She had long blond hair and wore a light purple and white dress. On her feet were transparent high heels. "As the fairy of wisdom and kindness I want us all to get along".
"Minerva butt out!" Pandora yelled. "Just butt out".
"Take it off," Minerva ordered. "You need to get out of that armor. It is cursed".
"Don't you think I've already tried that? I've tried to change my damn outfit! I can't".
"Ugh there is no sense in fighting the pixie that is born to fight. What do you think Diana?"
A pixie stood up from sitting on the ground. Her hair was golden brown. It just hung down past her shoulder blades. Her green eyes sparkled as light of the flames from the torches danced off of them. "I'm with you on not fighting with Pandora but she is right, we need to get out," Diana said.
"Too bad my little friendssss," a voice said. "You will never be able to esssscape". The pixies turned around. A snake about twenty feet long was there. "Now which do I get to eat firssst". All the pixies stared at the snake in fear. The way he looked at them made them scream.
The snake slithered to Diana. "I like thisssss one. Her voice is nice and loud. She is all nice and meaty. I will be fed for a couple of daysssss".
"Please don't eat me, I'm skin and bones. I will tell you where one of the pieces you want is just don't eat me".
"No," Pandora said. "Like hell you will". Pandora jumped up put her right foot on the barrier and leaped off of it. Drawing her sword she ran it straight across the snake's throat. Sticky blood splattered over the pixies. Nobody cared about the blood. They were all shocked.
"Th…thanks I guess," Diana said. "I didn't think you would protect me".
"Of course," Pandora said putting her sword back in its holder on her belt. "Now how are we going to get out of here?" As if on cue a door opened and a man walked out.
"Greetings my little pixies are you now going to tell me where the codex is? If you do then you can leave".
"Piss off Darkar," Minerva ordered. "We won't tell you where it is"
"Hmph". The man named Darkar grunted, turned around and walked away.
"Why does he want the Codex again? He failed once," Estella asked.
"I don't know," Alison said. She looked back to where Darkar came from. "Who do you think that man is?" She was looking at an unconscious man chained to the walls.
"Maybe he is our ticket out of here," Pandora said. "Sir. Sir". He never responded.
"Sir," all the pixies yelled together. "Sir". He still didn't respond.
"Ugh we will never get out of here," Pandora complained. "He can't hear us".
"Hey Pandora?" Minerva asked. She didn't respond she just looked at the young man. Minerva walked over and looked at the man. "What is it?"
"That man I feel like I have seen him somewhere. Well we will just skip it what do you need?"
"The barrier, I think there is a weak spot. I sense it," Minerva said. "Do you think your sword is powerful enough to break through?"
"Let me see. If it is than that would be our ticket to escape". She walked over and placed her hand on the barrier. Searching it for a couple minutes she finally said "There is a spot in the barrier weak enough for my sword to destroy but it is a bit small. We will have to exit quickly but one at a time". Everyone nodded in understandment. "Alright time to slice and dice".
She drew her sword and started to swing at the barrier. She hacked at it for about thirty seconds before a square hole about the pixies' size appeared.
"Nice job," Alison complemented. Pandora smiled. The six pixies exited the prison cage and tried to get into the air. The blood on their wings prevented them from flying.
"Oh come on we can't even fly out of here," Estella complained. "Now how are we supposed to escape?"
"What about him?" Ariana asked. She pointed to the man. The other pixies looked at each other than ran to the man. They looked at him.
"Sir," they all said shaking his leg. "Sir please help us". He didn't respond. His chains jus rustled.
"We need to get him out of these chains," Ariana said.
"On it," Pandora said confidently. She started to climb him and when she reached the chains she redrew her sword and inserted it to a key hole. Starting to move it she got each of the chains unlocked. The man fell to the floor. The Pixies reshook him and begged him to help them, not stopping until he awoke.
"Ugh my face," he said. They looked at him and he looked at them. Pandora was the first one to speak.
"Hi there I'm Pandora, pixie of war," she said. She spoke as if she was in love with the man.
"Hi there Pandora," the man said. "I'm Andrew fairy of Mayhem and destruction".
"Yeah yeah," Estella said. "Let's save the bonding of pixie and fairy for later. Right now we need to escape".
"Y'all need to escape? Join the club," Andrew said. "Are you all pixies?"
"Yeah we are all pixies and we need to escape but we can't without your help," Alison and Ariana said.
"Well lets go". Andrew picked up the six pixies and began to run towards the exit but there was a laugh and a man appeared in front of them.
