The Price of Vengeance

The Fall of Starshine Part 2: Pluto's Grudge Match

The ruins of the main town Titan was stationed in soon surrounded her. It didn't matter that she was who she was she was going to be attacked upon first contact. In the months where she was supposed to be dead Titan expanded and there are many members that don't know of Pluto, or consider her to be just a rumor. A Smurfling that can summon a machine from outer space? Not something every Smurf would be likely to actually believe especially not the likes of these particular Smurfs. Titan's hierarchy system pretty much ensured the bruisers with little no actual skills in life that just like the idea of being able to treat others however they want and not get in trouble that in Titan's eyes just barely knew how to fight were at the bottom. Pluto was going for her equals meaning she'd have to carve a path to the hospital or one of the outposts to encounter one of the higher ups she's after. It didn't take long for her prey to detect her. She wasn't being discrete at all whatsoever. She didn't care whether or not she'd be sniped, whether she'd step on a trap Poltergeist tinkered with and placed while she wasn't there, Pluto walked through this place without fear as though it were still her home. This made those watching her indescribably angry. They didn't know she was affiliated with the brotherhood and figured she was mocking them by daring to step into the heart of Titan's territory undetected. Pluto's confident demeanor was the thing those around her other than Titan hated the most. They hated seeing her thrive, they hated that she had power and skill, they wanted her to be a small helpless Smurfling and couldn't get passed that she wasn't due to the hard work she's put herself through and this was a strange concept to many of Titan's inner circle that are insecure with a superiority complex and think they're above her simply because of her age.

"I know you're all there. If you know what's good for you you'll show yourselves!" Pluto shouted.

The moment she said that a band of thugs holding melee weapons revealed themselves from nearly every direction. Pluto wasted no time generating her Smurf essence. They tried to confront her and splattered dialogue into the situation Pluto didn't want to entertain.

"Star of Pluto! Make me big and strong!" Pluto shouts with a cracking voice as she raises her sword to the sky her watch glowing on her wrist.

They didn't even have the chance to try to intimidate her before the Star of Pluto crashed into the street feet first. Pluto jumped into the back in a quick clean motion and got adjusted into her seat as the door closes. She inserts her sword into the drive and then grasps the controls and draws her sword only for the entire machine to glow with visible Smurf essence and her sword to freeze solid in her hand.

"I don't care if I die today. I just want to see him one last time, and see if he still cares." Pluto said assuming her stance.

"What is this?!" One of the Smurf's shouted backing away.

One of the group's eyes widened.

"Oh I've heard of this before! Bad news! Run!" He said turning around and bolting down the street.

He ran down the street and passed an alley and then a fire bolt shot out of the alleyway and decked him head on sending him falling to the ground with a cut off scream before quickly burning to a crisp and then going out. Pluto looked over with the others and saw Nova stepping out of the alley into the street. Nova stood there for a moment and stared down the Star of Pluto and his blood went cold. He was relieved that Pluto was alive make no mistake. Out of all of them Nova still cared to the best of his ability about her due to the history they share, but now he knows that this can't be good.

"Pluto?" Nova asked.

"Mister Nova…" Pluto said casually as though this moment didn't matter to her sentimentally.

"How?" Nova asked.

"Poltergeist took me far away, and kicked me off the bike." Pluto said.

Nova just stood there trying to process everything.

"Bold of you to ever think I would die!" Pluto shouted.

"Pluto… I… I don't know what to say." Nova said.

"I'm going to beat you all to a pulp and throw what's left of you at Titan's feet!" Pluto screamed.

Nova looked up at Pluto, he saw her through the glass. He knew this look all too well. Pluto was out for blood.

"It doesn't have to be this way…" Nova said.

"Yes it does! This is what Titan wants!" Pluto said.

"Just come back Pluto. This doesn't have to happen." Nova said.

"Titan won't just accept me back! I have to prove myself!" Pluto said.

Nova knew that all too well. He just didn't want to be pushed into a situation where he was going to have to use the special tome in his possession. He had an ancient tome he found in the ruins of Runeword that could bind together his magic and his Smurf essence. However using such a thing requires a certain amount of willpower that Nova doesn't have hence his instinctual hesitation to use it. Nova doesn't know this, but figures now that the Star of Pluto was his foe that he had no choice or he was going to die.

"Then you leave me with no choice Pluto…" Nova said grasping the tome.

He flips it open and begins a chant as a magic seal appears at his feet. He recites the entire ritual word for word in ancient Smurf and then everything faded and the tome now useless was discarded into a pile of rubble on the street corner.

"I'm going to have to kill you." Nova said generating his new aura.

The moment he finished the binding ritual a powerful magic spirit entered his body and was mixing his magical capabilities with his natural Smurf essence. It was taking a ton of energy for Nova to just stay himself. The whole time he was struggling in this perilous situation Pluto was standing as a grand threat to his survival just down the street. He begins to sweat profusely. Something was going wrong. It wasn't like when Papa Smurf did it. Even though Nova is as strong as Papa Smurf he doesn't have the inner strength to fend this being off. Once the bind was complete Nova lost control and the spirit took over his body. Nova was now literally fighting to regain control of himself, and if he didn't do it he was going to die and this thing was going to live in his body.

"I didn't want this… Pluto doesn't deserve to die. I was just going to knock her down a peg so I could talk some sense into her before Titan found out what she was doing." Nova thought as his body acted on its own.

Nova always tried to remain himself around her. No matter what they did or what they went through he always tried to remind her time to time she was cared for and special. He'd protect her when shady figures like Carambola first joined and wanted to kill her for fun, or just to mess with Titan. Nova tried his best to be there, but he too feared what Titan had become. Who knows what he had said if he saw Nova helping her out time to time instead of making her fend for herself. Even in his final moments he is thinking of her. What would happen to her if she went through with this and he wasn't there to talk to Titan? His desire to be there for Pluto was probably the only thing in this moment giving him strength. As things currently stood Nova didn't even necessarily have the will to live anymore, but having Pluto back in his life gave him strength. There was still something left that was good in this world. There was hope so long as someone like Pluto was still alive in this terrible world. However as he fought within himself against this being, this powerful spirit, was going to have its go at her in his body using all of his new power.

"Why do I always act without ever thinking of how it will affect others? It's because I don't want to die. I've always been afraid to die… I'm a coward. I don't deserve any Smurf's respect." Nova thought.

Meanwhile Pluto had but a moment to prepare before she found herself attacked at all angles. Nova's little group of ruffians Titan gave him to play around with were trying to display their skills thinking they were tough and they knew what they were doing. Turns out when a Smurf actually isn't scared to death with no fighting experience and that Smurf or Smurfette is their opponent, that suddenly the weapons they abuse aren't as good anymore. Pluto defeats a few of them with her aura alone freezing them solid sending the others backing away, but not daring to run.

"I used to be a powerful mage… I didn't have much but I had a family, and I loved them but I didn't want to die. That's the only reason out of all of us I'm one of the three that made it isn't it? Because up until Pluto was born I only thought of myself… Only used my magic for myself. I probably could have cured Star's blindness… Changed the color of her hair. I only thought of myself… What have I done? The whole world fell apart and I did nothing but make things worse. I've made things worse and more dangerous for Pluto." Nova thought.

Back at the street Pluto had just turned a bunch of cultureless ruffians into a group of sniveling Smurflings.

"This is crazy! That's just a Smurfling!" One of the Smurfs said.

"Not just any Smurfling! That's Pluto!" The other one said.

"Didn't Titan raise her himself? How do we stand a chance?" The third Smurf said.

"We don't. We run now! They can't kill all of us!" The first Smurf said.

The rest of the group scatter and sprint off in any direction using the fact Nova and Pluto had made first contact as a distraction. Pluto strikes at Nova with her sword as he closes in with great speed causing him too skillfully dodge the incoming shards of ice before continuing his pursuit. Pluto did not falter. She stood her ground and when Nova got close enough sent a nova of her freezing Smurf essence expanding in a large circle from the Star. Nova leaps back and launches an attack of his own in the form of a fireball which quickly collides with the chest of the Star of Pluto. Pluto feels the impact and jerks back in her seat before lifting her sword and charging Nova. She swings her sword with all her power towards where he was standing only for him to seemingly move so fast he disappeared. Pluto's eyes darted around before she felt the Star of Pluto take another hit. She turned to see Nova had reappeared caught him darting behind a ruined Smurfless wagon for cover. Pluto launched her Dry Ice Mountain technique for the first time in her star and the attack flew into the wagon and caused the whole thing to explode sending parts of it along with ice everywhere.

"Mister Novaaaaa~!" Pluto shouted as little bits of ice sprinkled the glass she was looking out of.

Pluto looks around trying to detect him, but her ears were not immediately picking up his movements which was throwing her off.

"Come out and play Mister Nova!" Pluto shouted.

Pluto took a moment to assess the situation. Nova was using speed to work his way around her. She was going to have to adapt. Pluto shakes her head and smirks.

"I'll show you mister Nova…" Pluto said.

Pluto moves her left hand off the controls and mashes a few buttons on the console. The Star of Pluto beeped a few times and then the magic core began to heat up and Pluto's Smurf essence began to leak into the legs of the Star her aura visibly shifting before stabilizing.

"We'll just see if mister Nova can keep up now." Pluto thought with a confident smirk.

Pluto then took off with great speed as she ran down the street freezing the ground underneath her as she ran. Pluto spotted Nova run from one side of the street to the other trying to use the rubble as cover. She took off after him and blasted right through the rubble. In an instant she had him in the left hand of her mech. Pluto grabs Nova and slams him into the ground with all her strength the only thing keeping him alive being the metal plates under his robes that serve currently as his armor. Nova was behaving strangely. He wasn't verbally reacting to being thrown around like this. He was still not in control of his body, but Pluto didn't know it. The creature she was facing had great power at its disposal and Pluto was provoking it.

"What's wrong mister Nova?" Pluto asked sarcastically lifting him up before slamming him back into the ground again.

"Cat got your tongue or what?" Pluto asked with a smirk.

Pluto lifts him up carelessly as though he was just one of her toys and was prepared to literally squeeze him until either his eyes popped out or he surrendered to her. One of her more preferred methods of getting what Titan wants out of someone. After much trial and error she knows how much force will cause this without killing whoever it is.

"You better talk, and the next words out of your mouth better be "Yes Pluto". Do you surrender yourself to me?" Pluto said.

There was no response. The spirit just looked at her with clear building rage as she toyed with it. So Pluto began to squeeze his entire body with no care for his health at all. She wasn't playing around.

"Ok… So now this is happening." Pluto said squeezing harder.

As she sadistically toyed with Nova's body as though he were one of her dolls He'd disappear from her grasp. Pluto's instinct did not falter and she immediately began looking around for him again not even immediately questioning how he had escaped. She bolts around when she hears a noise from across the street and spots Nova charging visible magic into his staff. Pluto charges as the Star of Pluto carries her with great haste closing the distance quickly, but not quickly enough. Nova launches a magic blast close range a beam of magic shooting from his staff hitting the star of Pluto point blank at close range. Pluto shouts as she's involuntarily launched into the air tumbling backward several times before halting as her Smurf essence caused her to hover in place. Her aura shifted as the feet of the mech was siphoning essence from it to propel her similar to Jupiter's technique even though the two have yet to meet. However she couldn't hold it for long before her aura stabilized and she landed on her feet in the street.

"Ah Smurfit! I'm gonna barf!" Pluto thought trying to catch her breath.

Very little to nothing came out due to the fact she's currently starving, but even so…

"You'll pay for that Mister Nova!" Pluto shouted.

Pluto's aura flared and from it came shards of Smurf essence that materialized into sharp ice shards. Pluto has about thirty of these surrounding her ready to strike. While she held that charged attack with her aura she gazed down at the console briefly before looking back up and shouting with rage before unleashing her attack into the nearby storefront. She sees Nova dash out of the structure before it completely crumbles as Pluto had destroyed the last of what was barely holding it in place. Pluto cuts him of by dashing in the same direction and sending the foot of the Star of Pluto into Nova's gut square on causing him to go flying.

"Dry Ice Mountain!" Pluto shouts as her essence conjures her most dangerous attack and launches it towards where Nova went flying.

Pluto skillfully presses a few of the unmarked red buttons on her console before the 'mouth' of the Star opened and released what looked like a tiny cannon. Pluto leans forward and basically releases a spray of ice from her mouth into a compartment (Which is exactly how she makes ice in Port Saint Smurf and nobody currently knows they've been drinking frozen spit flavored Smurf essence that would also technically be irradiated) and the mech processes it down to raw Smurf essence and uses it to create a long jagged projectile that resembled a spear before she slammed her fist onto a button and the 'mouth' cannon launched the object at Nova following her last attack. Pluto smirked unaware this could destroy her opponent and for the first time in her life she wasn't trying to kill them.

Nova still being controlled by the spirit stops in mid-air and once again disappears. He reappears only after both attacks had already missed and comes down from the air with his staff aimed at Pluto. He launches a beam of magical Smurf essence from it in its purest form producing a blinding white light that was quickly approaching her. Pluto didn't back down and slashed her sword in an arc around her producing a thick sheet of ice which took the attack like a champ causing ice to fly everywhere before she dashed out from behind it and launched three more large shards out of her mouth cannon. Nova smoothly dodges by simply stepping out of the way and it became clear that this was no normal fight. Pluto was going to have to do more.

"Come on Pluto hold on just a bit longer…" Nova thought as he tried to regain control.

The more Pluto continues to battle this creature the more she realizes the seriousness of the situation. No matter what she does she can't seem to catch it off guard. It was done toying with her and was now ready to destroy her. The spirit sensing Nova couldn't fight it off began to concentrate a massive amount of magic and Smurf essence and began to glow and heat up.

"Not that technique!" Nova shouted from within himself.

Pluto was aware of what was happening, but wasn't sure why. Nova was going to explode in order to keep her away from Titan? Things escalated in her mind all at once, and the more she stood there in awe the more powerful it got and closer to death Pluto got. Pluto's heart began to race and she felt so scared she was starting to feel sick.

"I'll never get away in time! That technique was made to destroy an entire town as a last resort!" Pluto thought as her life flashed before her.

"Pluto!" Nova shouted.

Nova didn't want Pluto to die. In a moment of selflessness his determination to protect this Smurf he loved he summoned the willpower to control himself briefly. The willpower necessary to repel the creature went beyond loyalty and comradery between wastelanders, it went beyond the trust shared before two group members. This was love. Nova's love for Pluto and his will to protect her gave him the upper hand in a life and death situation in which he could lose her.

"Pluto run!" Nova shouts.

"Mister Nova?" Pluto asked.

"I can't stop it! Pluto! There's no way I can stand here and allow this to happen!" Nova thought.

In a moment of desperation Nova grabbed the dagger from within his robes and jabbed it deep into his own chest causing his aura to completely disappear and canceling the attack. Nova dropped to the street with a groan on his back.

"Mister Nova!" Pluto shouted!

Pluto smashed a button on her console causing the Star of Pluto to eject her. She flew out the back and landed on her feet in the street wasting no time making her way to Nova's side.

"Pluto… You have to get far away from this place." Nova said.

"Why Mister Nova?" Pluto asked tears slowly forming in her eyes.

"When we started the battle I used a binding ritual to fuse my magic and my Smurf essence. We only have until I die Pluto and it'll be back." Nova said.

"No! I mean why did you save me!?" Pluto shouted her voice shaking as she lets the tears flow.

"Because you're special to me Pluto. You always have been… Since the moment we first met." Nova said.

Pluto wasn't sure what to make of this at all, but yet she was still responding in a way that was typical. She began to sob deeply.

"You have to somehow get away from all of this… Before the Smurfette I know you can be dies forever." Nova said.

"Mister Nova…" Pluto said.

"Pluto… This is where I leave you. I know you'll find your place in this world." Nova said before he died.

Pluto placed her hands over the body and froze it in a block of ice to prevent the spirit from attacking her in Nova's body. After Nova died the body healed. Pluto returned to the Star of Pluto where she was safer and then she took the time to process the situation and mourn a Smurf she'd known all her life. She picked up the block of ice with Nova inside it and began walking down the street once entering the Star of Pluto. Pluto silently cried as she walked along the ruins of the town. Pluto didn't come here wishing death on anyone especially not Nova or Titan. She was really mad at Poltergeist but she isn't here to kill him. Pluto began to wonder if perhaps Nova died because she had made a choice in life she shouldn't have made. Her mind goes back to all those years ago when Titan brought up the choices she makes in life. Pluto is a Smurfling not an adult. She's mature because she was forced to grow up, but that doesn't mean she's going to act and think like an adult at all times as though her brain were fully developed. She figured she'd come here and defeat a couple of them and Titan would see her power and be proud of her and welcome her back home and tonight maybe she could actually sleep peacefully in her own bed. All she wants is for someone to care for her. She never thought anybody would actually die while she was doing this that actually mattered. The harsh reality of Pluto's life though is that death is ever present. It doesn't sting as bad as it did when she lost Star implying that losing Smurfs in her life was beginning to become normal. In a way this was true, but chances are there was something up with whoever it was and Pluto was wary of them meaning their death was one less thug to deal with. The fact she's in tears implies she's at the very least not becoming so bad to the point where she just detaches herself entirely. Death was still sad no matter how much some of the others around her would celebrate it including her last remaining role model. This is important to keep in mind about Pluto. Even when she had to take life herself there was a part of her that knew it was wrong, and was sad and remorseful.

Word had spread amongst the dregs that Pluto had arrived and they conveniently pulled a blind eye to her in an act of what could either be considered cowardly or just simply smart. She walked down the street undisturbed towards the hospital still carrying a frozen Nova and those around her tried their best to avoid even looking, just kept their heads down cautiously and scuttled about in the opposite direction of her when she'd walk passed. She walks up to the front of the hospital where Titan had brutally claimed dominance several months ago and slammed her trophy onto the pavement before looking as far up as she could at the three story structure.

"Titan! I'm calling you out!" Pluto yelled.

Inside Titan sat miserably on his throne while terrified servants struggled to both do their duty and keep their heads trying to wipe the look of murderous rage and severe depression off his face only for him to refuse everything they offered him. Pluto's voice echoed quietly through the windowless structure and for a brief moment Titan's expression changed.

"Pluto?" Titan asked standing up.

"Titan! Right now!" Pluto yelled stomping the foot of her mech loudly into the asphalt.

Inside Titan sprung to life and had a slight grin on his face as he took his sword by habit on the way out of the room. He walks across the hallway and looks outside almost expecting it to be a ghost or a demon, but it was actually her. A dim light flashes across his dark soul briefly and he smiles a genuine smile for the first time in a while. In no time at all he was outside.

"Pluto…" Titan said.

He couldn't find the words he needed to describe how he felt. It was like someone took a splash of peace and a small dab of happiness and sprinkled it over him. A brief sprinkle though, he was not about to change.

"So you think your pretty funny throwing me out like I'm garbage?!" Pluto shouted.

Titan takes a moment to process what he is seeing and the rage returns to his expression.

"What do you think your doing?!" Titan demanded.

"I've come for my spot back! I'm going to take it!" Pluto said.

"Take it huh? Interesting. You think you can take something from me?! From Titan?!" Titan shouted flexing his massive arms aggressively in an almost primitive manner as he did so.

"I do! What are you going to do about it?!" Pluto shouted.

Titan grits his teeth. He is seething. This reunion was not what he could have ever thought it'd be.

"Bring me Poltergeist! Now! Or I'll kill him!" Pluto demanded gesturing to the frozen cube sitting the street beneath her.

Poltergeist watching from the top floor just out of sight knows he's fucked up. He sheepishly tries to crawl away like an animal back to his room to hide and Titan stops him dead in his tracks after Pluto explains the situation to Titan.

Before anything else could happen Carambola darts out of a dark corner with an adze in his hand ready to strike Pluto across the glass of her mech and Pluto swats him out of the air with her left arm freezing him and causing him to fall to the asphalt and skid. Pluto looks to him and scowls before redirecting her attention to the matter at hand.

"Anyone else want a piece of Pluto?!" Pluto shouts to nobody in particular yet upon her shouting this several Smurfs hiding amongst the ruins turned and ran including Kelt, Titan's newest member.

Poltergeist comes outside upon command and Titan just looks at him with his permanent scowl and Poltergeist returns a gaze that expresses the fact he knows he messed up and knows he's in trouble.

"Now Poltergeist we grew up together. I trust you so tell me… Did you drive Pluto out into the middle of nowhere and kick her off the bike, and then come crawling back here like the snake you are and tell me she died?" Titan said.

Poltergeist swallows slowly, sweat beads running down his face.

"Now I just no you won't lie. That's what I like about you Poltergeist." Titan said putting his arm around Poltergeist.

Poltergeist looks to Pluto whose giving him the death stare and then nods several times to emphasize his statement.

"Yes Titan! I did!" Poltergeist said.

Titan leans and nods a couple times silently looking Poltergeist in the eyes, and then the tension peaks when he elbows Poltergeist in the face hard enough to bust his nose. Poltergeist screams and drops to the floor.

"Welcome home Pluto. Consider this a present to do with as you please. A housewarming gift from an old friend." Titan said kicking Poltergeist into the street towards her.

"Oh Titan… You shouldn't have." Pluto says smirking at Poltergeist as he stands.

Titan throws back his head and laughs.

"Nobody interfere no matter what!" Titan shouts so any Smurf nearby can hear.

"Pluto… You know my Smurf essence only works on machines… Surely you wouldn't do what I think you're about do." Poltergeist taking nervous glances between her and Nova's frozen body.

"And yet you made fun of me for not having mine!" Pluto said.

"Well I… I didn't exactly…" Poltergeist said.

"Well well well… That's strike two isn't it Pluto?" Titan said shaking his head.

"Looks like we have a lying little shit on our hands!" Pluto shouted loudly on purpose so every Smurf could hear.

Pluto walks up to Poltergeist and he starts backing away with one bloody hand over his nose.

"Not so tough now huh? You think because you're the engineer that you're special?" Pluto asked kneeling down in her mech.

In a desperate moment Poltergeist let's go of his bleeding face long enough to draw his morning star and go for the glass screen of the Star. Pluto just stands allowing him to strike midair causing the spectating peanut gallery to roar with laughter.

"I believe that's strike three." Titan said.

Poltergeist's blood runs cold in his veins upon hearing Titan's words.

"I suppose now a wasteland ass beating is in order isn't it?" Pluto asked.

"I taught you well." Titan said with a proud smile nodding.

Pluto sighs and cracks her knuckles before exiting the mech. Once she left it Poltergeist didn't seem as scared anymore. Little did he know he was going to be very scared. Perhaps the most he's ever been.

"What's all the noise about-" HD said entering the scene from behind Titan before his voice trailed off and he was silent and nodded before returning to his business.

Poltergeist smirks and tosses his mace into a pile of rubble before cracking his knuckles.

"You think you could ever beat me? That's fine, but when I beat you to a pulp sleep with one eye open." Poltergeist said.

Pluto looked up at him and scowled before he tried to sucker punch her. Pluto quickly assumed a stance and grappled him before transitioning into a front suplex resulting in him hitting the pavement and her landing on top of him. She quickly turns and punches him in the face as hard as she can causing his head to jolt back and blood from his wound to fly all over her. She then pinned him and slammed her forearm into his face immediately blackening one of his eyes. Poltergeist struggled to regain some small sort of control, but Pluto had mastered holding her opponents in place. Poltergeist ends up ramming his own skull into her forehead causing her to roll off of him and scream. Pluto holds her head in her hands and groans before coming at him again. They assume stances and begin taking swings at each other. Pluto bobbed incorrectly and caught a punch to the right shoulder causing her to wince before hit Poltergeist in the jaw sending blood everywhere. She then performs a double leg takedown and once again has him pinned and starts giving his face a pounding. By this point they were both injured and covered in blood. Poltergeist punches Pluto in the face good enough it blackens her eye and she screams before grabbing Poltergeist by the throat and beginning to choke him out. A familiar voice is heard throughout the area.

"No more fighting!" The voice said.

Pluto looks up and Titan turns around and the demon that used to be Star was standing there in the distance. She walks up and immediately approaches Titan. Titan stares her down all the negative emotions returning. A single tear goes down his face that somehow slipped his grasp.

"I have given you the entire world. Will you not come back to me?" Titan said.

The demon smiled and Pluto's stomach literally turned. It was Star's loving smile on this terrifying creature, and now it had also gotten her voice.

"Of course I will Titan." The demon said putting her hand to his chin.

Pluto wanted to shout as loud as she could for Titan to get away from her. What was this demon up to? She has never done this before.

The tears begin to flow as it hugs onto him. He hugs back and it felt like he was hugging her. Titan was completely captivated and was acting like nothing strange was going on.

"This unrest is upsetting me Titan. Won't you tell your friends to play nice?" It said.

"Of course." Titan said with a nod.

Titan then turned around.

"Alright assholes! Enough is enough!" Titan said.

Pluto looks down at Poltergeist who she had knocked out cold and shakes her head.

"Someone fix up the engineer!" Pluto said.

A group of Smurfs come to haul Poltergeist inside. At least it happened just outside of a hospital.

"Titan… Won't you kill the emperor for me? Then we'd really have the entire world." The demon said moving her finger along Titan's bicep.

"Anything for you… My starshine." Titan said.

The demon playfully giggles and Pluto's blood runs cold. The final part starts next.
