Illua walked into the small dungeon roomand looked at the prisoners. Lita had added to the collection a man-sized praying mantis (Dr. T.E. Wogglebug, H.M.), a wind-up soldier (Tik-Toc), and a young woman wearing a rainbow dress (Polychrome, daughter of the Rainbow). She looked over to the original prisoners and was slightly miffed at what the Skeleton Princess was doing. She was whispering, too low for her to hear, and the black Waltz seemed to be mesmerized by what she had to say.
"Waltz," Illua commanded. "Why don't you kill the three in that cage?"
The Waltz stiffened. "No," he said, low and thoughtful.
"Kill them. It's not a request, it's an order."
The Waltz fingered the keyring at his side, and unlocked Jill's cage. he held her close to his body. "No," he repeated.
Illua drew her sword and advanced. "If you don't then i shall take both of your lives!"
The Waltz teleported out as Illua swung. The cage door swung back in place. Illua locked it as Kakashi woke up.
"Hunh?" he looked out from under his hat. "Dammit! Where is that princess???"
