A Tale of Two Hells

Chapter Six:Side by Side, ( Fighting)

Tori smirked and ducked a couple Atlantians and sliced another. Leaping up to kick one back.

Jedah and Totec at the same time leapt on the table ducking three on coming enemies. Jedah slammed the end of his scythe in the chest of one, while Totec slashed another's throat"Never thought I'd fight along side you, Doma."
Totec commented as he kicked an Atlantian to the floor.

" No? How about in front of?" Jedah asked as he circled behind Totec. Both back to back now, surrounded by Atlantians.

" Not even." Totec said.

"Thinking what I'm thinking?"

" Probubly." Totec said. Both at the same time nodded.And leapt up. Jedah slammed his sycthe through the table, flipped back kicking two Atlantians. Totec at the same time as this happened. Leapt on the middle of the scythe, and spun around for a moment. Kicking the remaining Atlantians down. Then he flipped back and landed prefectly on his feet upon the ground. Right next to Nesmie and Easter. Nesmie giggled and clapped her little hands at Totec.

Meanwhile Marionette exposed the back of her elbow and where her elbow met her arm, a sharp line, almost string like was released. Slamming right through two Atlantains at the same time, she yanked herself back and that forced them down.( you can tell I've just watched an episode of Xena)"Tori!" She called.Tori turned and kicked her leg back, sending the Atlantian she had been fighting into the wall." The babies!" They called in unison.

" Don't worry! We've got the Atlantians, take the babies and get out!" Jedah shouted tossing a buzz saw into one of the Atlantians. Tori stared in disbelief." He throws buzz saw?" She asked.

" Yeah he's master of the razor blades." Marionette said yanking Tori from the table. Where they picked up their babies and made a dashed for the back doors to the table. All the while Natla stood behind and watched her minions. She glanced up. Totec lifted an Atlantian by his neck and tossed him into another Atlantian." Watch now, Doma and see why I don't need your assistance." He said as chains flew into the room. Hooking the creatures left and right. Yanking them off the floors. Jedah retreved his scythe. As Natla shouted her spell." Your chains are nothing!" She called as those hooks and chains dropped her men.

Totec glared at her and ran at her as Jedah cased his scythe upon his back and his metal razor sharp wings snapped open from where they hid underneath the flesh in his back. He grabbed an Atlantian and flew into the air. Then dropped the Atlantian, but he himself flipped upside down, wings snapped shut and upon touching the Atlantian, his wings drilled into the Atlantian. Then he fipped back to his feet then looked at the table, split in two from his wings.

While Totec and Natla meet with a Clash. He sent her back. She approached again, shouting another spell. Sparks flew from Totec sending him flying far against the back wall. Where he shattered through it. Into the kitchen where servants prepared the food. They scattered as Natla darted in. A dart shooter in her left wrist and a fire ball shooter on her right. Totec arose, tiny pieces of rubbles falling from him. He summoned up his chains. But Natla dodged them and fired both a dart and a fire ball at him. They nearly hit him, if it where not for a sheild made out of what looked like string formed around him. Natla glared as Marionette stepped in between her and Totec. A necklace around her neck of what Natla wanted.

" Give me the Scion, Puppet!" She demanded. Tori all the while. Drew her mini katana and ran at Natla, stabbing her in the side,lifting her dagger and slicing her face, then kicking her back.

" I will not say it again! Leave!" Tori commanded.

Natla growled lowly and rose, weakly backing up," This is not over, Tori. " She warned looking at her bleeding side.

" I'm counting on it." Tori said.

" Retreat!" She called. But only three ran from the place as she called to her minions, the rest lay dead at Doma's feet as well as the others who fought.( I can only focus on so many fighters. It is hard to say how the others fight)

Tori sighed," Where's Krolus and Nesmie?" Totec asked.

"Safe with Easter, Lilith is watching them." Marionette said, the string she used to make the sheild rolling into a long piece of sharp string and back into her body.( She is after all a puppet)

Jedah leapt off the tabled, casing his buzz saw and his wings disappearing under his back." What the hell is she
doing here?!" Tori asked firmly as Doma approached them.

" She's after the Atlantian Scion. It was given to me at birth, to protec the mortal world from Nalta releasing her minions. " Marionette explained.

Tori looked at her husband. And noticed blood seaping from his side." You're wounded." She said.

" It is nothing." He said firmly." Is this why you came here? To hide from your sister?" He asked Jedah." Natla of Atlantis was but a minor threat. And now look at what you have brought forth upon this Hell." He shouted.

Jedah stared calmly upon Totec." I had not knowledge that she was released, Totec."

"Released from what?" Tori asked.

" One thousand years ago, Natla murdered her own flesh and blood. But when she returned to Atlantis, she found that the other two she shared the throne with waited. I was there" Marionette began.....

Flashback....

Laughing hard, Natla walked into Atlantis, happy as ever."How is that you find the death of your own family so ammusing?" Came an enraged voice.

Natla stopped, Marionette, and two others stood right there in the throneroom. Natla was terrified of the sight of her partners."Tihocan! Quealobec! You.....you have returned!?" She exclaimed.Tihocan walked over to Natla.

Slapping her hard across the face,"You whore! You do not know what you have done!?"

And soon, Natla, had found that whatever she had done, had a punishment. For in an instant, she was tied between to large pillers.

"You can't do this!" Natla shouted.

"We condem you Natla of Atlantis, for your crimes, for the flagrient mis use of your powers. And for robbing us of our's!" Quealobec began.

"You can't I...."Natla started.

"For breaking the three bond of concent and for robbing Tihocan and myself of our armies, our warriors. Empty
from our temple. So that you could use the temple, for your own mindless destruction!"

"Mindless? Ha! Look at you. Neither of you have one squirt of inventive juice in your heads! Wasters!"Had been Natla's come back.

Looking to Tihocan, Quealobec nodded,"Lets just do it!"

"Tihocan!" Natla screamed, seeing if perhaps Tihocan could back her up.

"You used the place, as a source of individual pleasure. As some freak factory!"Tihocan shouted.

"But they will survive a new generation!"

"A slaughter hepe now, and you...we're going to lock you in Limbo, make your viens , heart, feet, and that diseased brain stick solid with frozen blood." And he gestured at a minion, who stood by a lever,"Greet your eternal unrest, Natla!"

And as she was being intombed within ice, she shouted,"You won't rest either or your damn continent, Atlantis....." And a large circle engulfed the icey tomb.

Marionette, had watched this and turned to Quealobec," I had to inform you both of her actions. I had to take some revenge."She said.

Tihocan placed a hand on her shoulder," You had done the right thing. However, you have not yet gained revenge."

Marionette nodded,"Then she will not be held for long?"

"She will never rest, until everything is dead. And you may be the only one to stop it. Your Scion is more powerful."He stated.

End Flashback....

" Natle had created those monsters who had attacked us, from mortal men." Jedah said.

" Just as you create your cenobites from the body of a man." Marionette stated.

" Those are for a different use, entirely." Totec defended.

" I know," Marionette nodded.

" You are not safe here." Jedah started.

" What do you mean?" Tori asked.

" Natla has breeched your forces. You and your family, Totec would be safer in Makai for a while." Jedah said.

" I will not leave the throne. That bitch could take it just as easy as she murdered you, Doma." Totec hissed.Then glanced at Tori, she had a worried look on her face. Thinking of the danger her babies could be in danger if they stayed. " Tori." Totec began. Turning her to face him. He saw the fear for her children in her eyes.
