Laxus woke up in a dungeon. He pulled himself to his feet. “What the heck happened?” He muttered.
“Not really sure.” Jack said from beside him.
“How did you get here?” Laxus asked.
Jack smacked Laxus. “Same way you did, dimwit! I have no clue.” He said.
Laxus headed for the dungeon door. He stopped when he realized he was chained to the wall. “Darn it. I don’t assume you have my Flail?” Laxus asked.
Jack chuckled. “No, you do. You just have to call it.” He said.
Laxus frowned. “Like this? Here, flaily, flaily!”
Jack burst out laughing when the Rainbow Flail materialized in Laxus’s face. “That works.” He said.
Laxus shook his head, and grabbed the flail. He brought it down on the chains. “Huh? They didn’t break.” He said.
Jack nodded. “They must be the distribution chains the Tyrant invented. They push of the blast into whatever is next to them, and can take massive amounts of damage.”
Laxus nodded. “Any weaknesses?” He asked.
Jack nodded. “If you have a furnace, then yes. Otherwise, none.” He said.
Laxus grinned. “Great. It so happens we do have a furnace.” He said.
Jack grinned. “That’s right! You can set yourself on fire!” He grinned.
Laxus concentrated on the Flail, and feeling really hot. He felt himself slowly heating up. “Ok, Laxus! I think that’s enough! We don’t need you melting through the floor!” Jack said.
Laxus released his concentration after tapping Jack’s chain.
“You realize you were oozing out magma, right?” Jack asked.
Laxus shrugged. “Not much of a change from my awesomeness.” He said.
Jack chuckled. “Let’s go.”
Laxus burned through their door, and they headed out of the dungeon.
As they walked, They heard footsteps coming around the corner. “Quick, hide!” Jack hissed.
They squatted down behind a table as Tabitha walked by. “Where the heck am I?” She muttered.
Laxus jumped up. “Tabitha! What are you doing here?” He whispered.
Tabitha turned, and nearly stabbed him with her dagger. “Laxus! You’re ok!” She grinned and hugged him.
“Hate to break you guys up, but we have to go kill the Tyrant.” Jack said from next to them.
Tabitha reddened. “I didn’t see you there.” She whispered.
Jack shrugged. “Let’s just go.” He said.
