Friend Or Foe

[Deleted]

Lord Zedd didn’t bother to acknowledge Facilier’s apology. He was no stranger to the game that was being played, one of honeyed words and manipulation. He himself had gained more than a few soldiers with it.

“You're free to your own devices for the most part if you're worried about always listenin' to me.”

Zedd smirked behind his mask. He would love to watch the scrawny man try to stop him from doing as he pleased. If nothing else, it would certainly be amusing, considering Facilier had so far displayed no power.

“I'm an easy-going fella and I've heard you're a really good person to ally with.”

“Of course I am!” There was no anger of even indignation in Zedd’s voice this time around. Instead his tone was more condescending, as though the answer should have automatically been obvious. It was similar to how he talked to Goldar when not utterly furious with the winged monkey. “Do you know of anyone else who can create monsters from nothing?”

“I can give you power, money, tons of respect well respect from people that you haven't conquered yet. Name your pleasure, I got plenty.”

He already had plenty of all three, but somehow hearing the offer from Facilier made up Zedd’s mind. He would play along, let them think that he was under their thumb. It would make it all the more satisfying when he finally pulled the rug out from under their feet. Particularly where a certain witch was concerned. And speaking of Rita…

“I want the situation with Rita resolved. If you can do that –”

Zedd accepted Facilier’s outstretched hand.

“– then you have a deal.”

[Phantom Virus/Phil McLemore]

Mechakara smiled at Rodney.

"It's alright. You make my daughter happy which I am glad for. But like I said you hurt her and you'll regret it." said Mechakara.

He turned to Seven of Nine and grinned.

"Yes. I suppose I modeled myself after the Borg in general. But I definitely designed Nostalgia Chick and later my new daughter Seven of Eleven after you." said Mechakara.

He paused and grinned at her.

"I think I should continue what I started awhile ago." said Mechakara.

He grinned as he leaned forward and kissed Seven of Nine again no doubt surprising her but he couldn't help it. She was just beautiful and the thought of her liking him in return had made him so happy. He was glad she'd followed him to this side so they didn't have to fight each other.

XXXX

Seven of Eleven grinned seeing Rodney and Mechakara get along. Then as Mechakara kissed Seven of Nine she chuckled turning to Rodney.

"Perhaps we should leave them alone." said Seven of Eleven.

She smiled walking over to Phantom Virus and Dark Heart knowing Rodney would follow.

XXXX

Rita smiled at Moarte.

"I'm sure he will. You're very kind for a ghoul. Or zombie or whatever you are. There was a time we hated each other and I never would have thought of caring about this this much. Now I can't imagine my life without him. I hope he regains his memories back. I just wish he hadn't los them in the first place." said Rita.

She paused thinking of Moarte's words. The transportation had a setback?

"But no one else seemed to have lost their memories in the three armies. Why did Zedd lose his. Perhaps I should ask Insano about this. It was his invention after all." said Rita.

XXXX

Shaggy smiled at him and grinned seeing Malachite hug the boy. Malachite seemed to care about Olive. Perhaps everyone in this army wasn't as bad as he thought they were. He chuckled at Olive.

"It is pretty sweaty. I hope I don't have fleas or something. I had dogs and they had fleas. " said Shaggy.
XXXX

Jasper grinned as well. It was a touching sight. He paused wondering if he was going soft. He shook his head deciding to enjoy the moment.

XXXX

Malachite grinned as Olive hugged him back before they pulled apart.

"I'm glad to hear that. You come to me if you want to talk or if anyone is bothering you. Someone from this arm, the other armies, or even a punk on the street. You're one of us now and I won't let anyone hurt members of this army especially you." said Malachite.

XXXX

Penny smiled and nodded.

"The poor guy. Well then he could use friends like us." said Penny.

She paused as she started itching herself.

"You don't think there's fleas or something in here do you?" asked Penny worriedly.

XXXX

Virus smiled at Dark Heart. He hoped to spend a lot more time with her.

"I'm glad to hear that. I'm sure we'll have a lot of tun tomorrow night." said Phantom Virus.

He grinned.

"You think I could join the show? We could say it's a costume with special effects or something. It might be fun." said Virus.

He paused and grinned.

"Well perhaps I just haven't found the right one yet." said Virus.

XXXX

(ooc: It amuses me I have a jester talking to a guy who has no sense of humor. Or hides it very well. xd)

Chuckles chuckled at Prick.

"But weird is fun. Besides if things were too normal here you'd get bored eventually. We need things at least a little bizarre to have fun. And to keep us on our toes." said Chuckles.

[Dr. Facilier]

Facilier said nothing as Zedd seemed to, at first, be unconvinced at his offer. He was worried he'd have to show Zedd something and due to magic only being used on the person, it might of been unamusing for said conquerer to be the guinea pig. Suddenly Zedd expressed his choice of prize, Facilier having to solve this problem between him and rita, and as Zedd showed his hand, Facilier was a bit unsure how to handle this request. Obviously it would take magic and work to bring the two back together or separate as possible, but Facilier was worried about failing, it might lead Zedd to rebel or take over. So he had to play his cards right. So with a big grin, not fake surprisingly, Facilier shook the lord's hand and responded "Absolutely. Don't you worry about all that nonsense she said. I'll take care of it, Lord Zedd. It'll be done soon enough I can tell ya that"
XXXXXXXX

Seven of Nine was tempted to laugh at Mechakara's laugh, feeling so giggly enough to do so but she kept her laughing by biting her lip. Seven of Nine looked to him in flattery as he explained that he modeled himself as the borg but Seven of eleven as herself. Although the borg was a negative memory, Mechakara was indeed strong like the borg only differences were charm and good looks. Seven was about to express thanks when Mechakara came closer, expressed that he was going to continue something and then kissed her once more. Almost instantly Seven kissed back and they stayed that way longer, she would've been embarrassed if she remembered Seven of eleven and Rodney were there, but now she cared less. She pulled back to acknowledge they kissed and she grinned widely "Mechakara, you amaze me. I feel so special" She kissed him for at least the fourth time before Mechakara could counter back
XXXXXXX

"Of course sir. I refuse to let you or Seven of Eleven down" Rodney said, feeling much more confident now that Mechakara gave him his blessing. It felt great to be a boyfriend, well at least one to Seven of Eleven. There was no-one else he wanted other than her. He was about to say something to Seven of Nine but Mechakara pretty much took her attention thanks to his rather passionate kiss. He felt a bit embarrassed but Seven of eleven stole his attention again and he quickly followed her, with a happy grin. Right to DarkHeart and Virus
XXXXX

DarkHeart felt nervous as virus continued talking, was there something really wrong with her or was this normal to react? She couldn't tell nor could she care, DarkHeart nodded, deliberately messing with her short hair as if a hair gotten loose "I agree, I think it will be fun. We can learn a lot from each other perhaps" Or maybe express how we feel about each other DarkHeart silently added, feeling slightly better thinking it rather than admitting it to him. DarkHeart then looked at Virus in a fake shocked expression "I'm shocked you do not know how talented you can be at the show. The electricity would change and everyone would assume it's running out but then you do certain tricks with the lights. People would adore you!" She let out a big grin, happy to have said that. She blushed as Virus said he hadn't found the right one yet. Why not me? She couldn't help but think but she depleted that thought and instead responded "You will. I really think you will. Because well--" She then saw her sister and Rodney come and she was more than happy to change the subject, due to nervousness, and waved to them "Seven! Hi!"
XXXXXX

Moarte smiled "You had it right with the ghoul assumption, mistress" He let out a cackle before she continued talking and he sobered enough to look sorry for her, and he gave her a gentle pat on the shoulder. It wasn't good to see Rita this way. It made him feel bad. Moarte then shrugged "If the fool made it, he should know why it didn't work right for Zedd. Maybe his magic messed with the travel, or does he not have magic?" Moarte wasn't sure entirely about Zedd so that's why he asked so many questions. He wasn't aware of many things other than magic and horror comic books
XXXXXX

Olive was touched by Malachite's kindness and nodded his thanks, responding in kind "Thank you, really. That means a lot. I'll be sure to let you know" He was glad people had his back, like a unit, Olive felt a lot less alone that was for sure. He turned to Shaggy and smirked a lot more as he saw Shaggy touch his fur "Me neither. I don't think fleas come out in the winter though so I think you're good"
XXXXXXX

Patch nodded in agreement to the chance of being friends with Shaggy but then scratched a lot as Penny scratched herself. He shook his head, seeing his sister worry about it, while he had his doubts about fleas. He let out a smile "No! I'm sure they've gotten rid of fleas plus they made not out be in the cold right?"

[Deleted]

“You had better be right, Facilier,” Lord Zedd growled, the malice back in his voice. He abruptly pulled his hand out of the handshake and curled it into a fist. “I thought I was finished with that witch for good when I banished her.”

Well, technically that would have been when the Power Rangers banished her. Sometime after Zedd had cast her into the outer reaches of space, the day Tommy received his White Ranger powers, Rita’s miniature dumpster had somehow found its way back to Earth. How this had happened, Zedd would never know: when he sent his Putties to collect her, they were soundly beaten (par for the course, unfortunately). Overall, it wasn’t a day he liked to remember.

“Has she said anything about this ridiculous notion to anyone else?” Zedd demanded suddenly. He hated the thought of Rita trying to manipulate others against him, and she had certainly had ample time to do so.

[Malachite Gamic]

Mechakara nodded to Rodney and Seven as they left the ocuple alone. He turned to Seven of Nine and smiled at her.

"You're the one who amazes me. I'm honored you want to stay with me." said Mechakara.

At one point he thought love and feelings were a weakness. They had only got the Linkara from his universe to push him around and eventually, he snapped and became the creature he was today. Mechakara. But he'd created Dark Heart and he'd started to care for her. Then he'd created his second daughter Seven of Eleven. And now he had fallen for Seven of Nine. Perhaps feelings were not a weakness after all. He was surprised as she kissed him before he could react and he returned it. He pulled back with a grin before realizing something. She was part Borg and she needed to regenerate to survive. Did she have an alcove here?

"I just realized something. You're part Borg and you need an alcove to regenerate. I don't know if we have that kind of technology here." said Mechakara.

XXXX

Phantom Virus looked at her in surprise and blushed at she complimented him saying he would be very talented in the show.

"You really think I'm talented?" asked Phantom Virus.

Not even his creator had praised him. He looked at her with a grin.

"Thank you. No one's ever talked to me like that before. I was just a program to my creator. But when I'm with you I feel like I matter. Like I'm important." said Phantom Virus.

Virus took her and smiled. He looked up as Seven of Eleven and Rodney joined them and he let go realizing he was still holding her hand and blushed slightly.

"Hi guys." said Virus.

XXXX

Seven of Eleven smiled at them seeing Virus holding Dark Heart as they arrived.

"Are we interrupting something?" asked Seven.

She grinned as Virus's blush increased at the question. She chuckled as she sat down next to her sister.

"I'm just teasing. Although if you hurt my sister then you'll wish you had stayed deleted." said Seven.

She said it with such a sweet tone but you knew she wasn't kidding.

XXXX

Phantom Virus blushed hearing her question.

"No. We were just talking. That's all." said Virus.

He relaxed as she said she was just teasing. But then she warned him that if he hurt her sister he would have wished he stayed deleted. He gulped nervously and nodded.

"I understand." said Virus.

XXXX

Rita smiled at him.

"You're the first ghoul I've met. And I'm honored you chose to come and help me. Thank you for that." said Rita.

She knew Moarte worked for them but she was starting to view him as a friend. She nodded.

"I will have a talk with him as soon as possible." said Rita.

She paused and shook her head.

"There have been several members in all three armies with various powers. Why would only he lose his memories? His magic can't be the reason. But I will find out. I just hope I can restore his memories soon." said Rita.

XXXX

Malachite smiled at him.

"Your welcome Olive." said Malachite.

He smiled glad Shaggy and Jasper were being so friendly to Olive. He paused as he turned to them.

"Shaggy I'm appointing you as Olive's bodyguard. I'd do it myself but well being one of the leaders keeps me busy." said Malachite.

He paused turning to Olive.

"If that's alright with you." said Olive.

XXXX

Shaggy smiled at Olive.

"Well I am a werewolf. So for all I know there's supernatural fleas or something." said Shaggy.

He shivered at the thought hoping it was just dust or something. He looked up in surprise as Malachite appointed him as Olive's bodyguard.

"Well if it's okay with Olive I'll do it. Although I might need some training as it's been awhile since I've been a werewolf." said Shaggy.

XXXX

Penny listened to him and nodded.

"I guess you're right. Well if it's serious I guess he'll have Insano look at it." said Penny.

She paused looking around and yawned.

"Gee it is pretty late. Is there a place to lie down?" asked Penny.

[Jafar]

OCC: I didn't watch Voyager or not a lot of it. So this is just me pulling stuff out to make it plausible for Seven to have it with her so she'll survive easier. If you need me to I'll edit it in a different way. Hopefully Mechakara can but it XD)

Seven never felt this happy before, felt this blissful before, felt this alive before. She felt some sort of humanity that she sorely missed out upon before. As they kissed, a spark that was forever dark was ignited once more. Mechakara was her soulmate now and she would do anything to keep him forever in her heart. She then saw Mechakara worry about the alcove she needed to regenerate. She forgot about that at the moment because of her amazement with mechakara. She was glad though that during her time with Munro and his crew, she had a portable alcove with her at all times. And, for some odd reason, it was with her. That said, she did think about it and realized that she could just transport it here. She nodded and responded "Do not worry Mechakara. It is portable as well as transportable. I can easily bring it here to Facilier's" She then remembered she needed to pretend she wasn't coming back to Ask Thatguy so she quickly responded shocked out of her mind "Blast it. It is at Ask Thatguy's residence. I cannot believe I forgot it. I was so worried about escaping here, due to the army attacking us for our treason! My own safety could've been ruined if not for my design to transport that alcove!" It was a lie but Nella did say to be as convincing as possible, and she needed to be. The last thing she wanted was to ruin all her good ties now.

DarkHeart nodded when Virus asked her if she seriously thought he was talented and the robot was more than happy to be honest with him. She felt very good in praising him and smiled even wider when Virus said when she praised him he felt important. That made her feel great and then she felt Virus' hand but paid no mind to it at the moment, feeling like it was called for. Virus made her feel important in a way too because of the way he was talking about how much her words mattered to him and she would've said so if not for Seven's interuption. She blushed extensively at Seven and even more when Rodney was grinning at them. Great. They had a idea on what was going on. Fantastic. Seven's question made her go completely red and she nodded silently, having nothing to say. She then was relieved when Seven said she was teasing but would make virus pay if their relationship did end up having DarkHeart hurt. DarkHeart turned to Virus and mouthed out I am so sorry She turned to Seven hesitantly and responded "It is nothing to worry about. We were just talking!" She then responded with a smile "And a delightful one at that"
XXXXXX

"You two are quite cute though you must admit" Rodney joked seeing the both of them embarrassed. He then turned to Seven and chuckled as she threatened Virus, knowing how Virus felt due to mechakara threatening him. He gave a wink of empathy to Virus before turning to Seven "I am sure he will take your word seriously dear Seven" He winked at Virus again before going over and holding both of Seven's shoulders "I assure you I most certainly would" He shrugged and responded "This is rather nice. All of us together this way"
XXXXXX

"It is no trouble miss" Moarte replied with a friendly tone. He too liked Rita even though he served them, he felt them as his friends also. It was never wrong to like your boss. Moarte nodded as Rita objected to his opitions and stating she would have a talk with Facilier. He was glad she was going to settle it out instead of completely mope. The ghoul smiled and responded with a chuckle "Of course mistress. It could mean anything actually. I understand your doubts. I only speak out of guessing. Forgive my decision"
XXXXXXX

"Supernatural fleas?" Olive said naively, cocking his head to the side in confusion but that was changed to Olive having Shaggy as a bodyguard. Olive smiled, seeing absolutely no problem with this arrangement. After all, shaggy was nice and friendly, and Olive could use someone to have his back if he needed it. Olive nodded "It's totally fine with me. Shaggy as my bodyguard sounds fun. We can hang out more that way" He smiled, happy to be so far having tons of food, new friends and a person on the leader's side to be appointing all of that for him. He was going to like it here
XXXXX

"Sure. I'm sure Insano can help" Patch responded, checking his back in slight suspicion before yawning at the same time as Penny. He was now tired once more and responded "Yeah, I think it's our bedtime, Penny. I know where we can sleep. Follow me. We'll have plenty of rest away from the discussions" He walked over to penny and guided her upstairs of the entire house eventually leading to a room where he previously had slept in already.
XXXXXX

Not far away from all this was a sorcerer who really needed the best place to recuperate. Jafar had no idea where he was yet but he knew that he was alive and who he was so it was a start. It had been a while since he last breathed, so who knows how long he's been dead. Jafar, the said sorcerer, walked near the enterance seeing Facilier talking and felt the need to talk to malachite, despite the fact he was with not one, not two but three people. Jafar felt a magic link within Malachite which was why he wanted to talk to him first. Jafar was admittedly in a serene mood, due to him being quite tired from walking, so he just gave a polite smile and bow of the head before speaking calmly "I do hate being disrespectful but do any of the four of you know this place? If so, do you mind telling me. I seem to be a bit... how do you say lost?"
