Heartache

[Ma-Ti]

Ma-ti smiled glad he disabled her gun before she grabbed him and squeezed tightly. He gasped in pain trying to break free from her grip. He frowned at her taunts.

"You won't win. You might as well kill me and get it over with. But the entire army will hunt you down. Not even Mechakara can protect you from all of them." said Ma-Ti.

He gasped again as she picked him up and punched him right in the chest.

"I won't back down. I lost my old friends when I got pulled here. I won't betray my new ones. Do your worst." said Ma-Ti.

[DarkHeart]

"I want information. I do not care how long it takes me or how long I have to torture you. You will give me the information" DarkHeart growled, punching him harder in the face. Ma-Ti's stubborness was getting to her. It was rather hard to deal with stubborn minded people. DarkHeart couldn't bare the thought of how Ma-Ti was dealt with by Facilier, it was rather annoying.

"Killing you will be arranged. IHeart will enjoy seeing your bloodied corpse" DarkHeart threatened, punching again and again

[Ma-Ti]

Ma-Ti gasped as she continue to punch him as he could feel the cuts on his face and his lips. Blood trickled from his nose and he was sure at least one of his eyes was now black. She then resumed punching him as he swung a punch at her in vain colliding with her chest and he winced as he hit metal. He kicked his legs at her trying to break free from her grip as she kept punching him in the chest and face.

"Iheart, Critic. I'm sorry. I wasn't strong enough. And now you'll have to mourn me all over again. That's what I hate the most is I'll cause you pain either way. But I can't betray you." thought Ma-Ti.

He stopped punching and kicking her as he realized his attempts were useless and probably would just make her angrier. She was stronger. He didn't have his ring, or even a weapon to defend himself with. The others must be asleep, out training, or couldn't hear him. And now it would be too late for help to come. He closed his eyes accepting his fate.

(ooc: Not sure what you want to do. Her get info from him by threatening someone like going in there and killing someone like Iheart? Or she could knock him out and not kill him when other heroes came to his rescue.)

[DarkHeart]

(OCC: I'll let DarkHeart threaten IHeart a lot more. Making her realize it take someone else's life to get Ma-Ti to talk. Kinda like what Mechakara did with IHeart)

DarkHeart was frustrated. The beatings weren't working. She growled as he tryed to resist then waited for her to finish him. In complete rage, she threw him to the ground. She pulled her boyish hair with her hands "This is pointless! You clearly will not resist so why bother hurting you when I can just go in there and hurt IHeart or some---"

She widened her eyes then grinned extremely darkly, more darkly than she ever did. Her eyes glowed red as she smirked to Ma-Ti. She responded calmly "Fine. I won't kill you. I have a better target to destroy. Your precious IHeart. Why did I not think of that sooner?" She then proceeded to walk inside the house, activating her arm gun

[Ma-Ti]

Ma-Ti gasped as she decided to go after Iheart. If everyone was asleep or out training she would be in danger.

"Don't hurt her." said Ma-Ti.

He stumbled up the stairs before collapsing onto the porch.

"Please. I'll tell you anything. Just don't hurt her." said Ma-Ti.

He paused already feeling ashamed.

"Forgive me Iheart. I'd rather die than help her. But I can't let her hurt you." thought Ma-Ti.

[DarkHeart]

DarkHeart smiled, pleased she was finally going to recieve some information. She backed up, finally recieving what she needed. DarkHeart crossed her arms proudly and responded "Proceed. Where is IHeart in the army? When is she going to battle? Do you know about Patch's condition and where he is said to be? What weapons do you have?"

She then glared "Don't lie to me. I will go inside and blow the girl up in front of your face if you even think about stretching the truth"

[Ma-Ti]

"She's still hurt, Dr. Facilier nearly killed her. She needs time to heal before she's in another fight. I don't know how long. Maybe another couple weeks." said Ma-ti.

He paused thinking about Patch wondering why she cared. He was the only hostage they hadn't hurt. Chick had been hurt before they captured her and Rita had stolen their voice. Morpheus had been hurt while he was captured. But Patch had remained untouched. He was curious about that. He decided to speak knowing she would still go after Iheart if she wanted to.

"He's alright. We're taking good care of him getting him food and water, letting him go out and play when he wants to. Why do you care so much? He was your hostage." said Ma-Ti.

He doubted she'd answer so he moved onto the next thing she asked weapons.

"The usual stuff. Swords, laser guns, Linkara's magic gun, Spoony's gunblade, my ring, Critic's suit of armor. Linksano keeps talking about making stronger weapons but he hasn't yet. Or he hasn't said anything about them to me." said Ma-Ti.

He hoped that was it that she'd go and leave them alone. He had to get some medical attention anyway. She'd done a lot of damage to him. But it would be worth it if he could keep Iheart safe.

[DarkHeart]

(OCC: Do you want to open this to the other heroes? After two posts from you and one more post for me?

DarkHeart smirked, amused that the same information the villains gave her was the current status of her old enemy. She nodded, glad of the information. She listened to it all, the weapons were told to her, Linksano was indeed working quite a lot. They would have to make him a prior target in the next battle.

She then paused pleased about Patch. He was safe. So maleficent actually didn't harm the pup. That would be especially good for mechakara. She only hoped the pup would last until their next attempt on him. She frowned unamused when Ma-Ti asked her why she cared "It is none of your business now is it? I thought I was the one who was supposedly asking questions, not you"

She then backed away from the house. Glad she got what she wanted, she spoke tauntingly "I can see why IHeart likes you, she likes to maniuplate things and you are easy to manipulate. You do not know the true side to her, she's just as bad as you see me if not more so. She does not care about you, she only looks to you for protection. I only hope you abandon her before she abandons you"

She then turned her back on him proceeding to leave then she stopped again, smirking "Tell her I said hi. Oh and that I intend to allow her to be tortured by Mechakara's hand before I finish her off. I bid you farewell, tree hugger"

[Mechakara]

(ooc: Maybe Ma-Ti and her get into another fight and he loses just as the heroes arrive. I'm guessing maybe Criitic should be one of the first heroes to arrive to witness what's going on. And if hedoesn't know about Dark Heart freak out at seeing "Iheart" attack Ma-ti.)

Ma-Ti nodded still curious to why she was interested in Patch. He frowned at her attitude and she began walking away. He smiled in relief glad she was gone. He frowned as she spoke aout Iheart.

"Don't you dare talk about her that way. You're the one who's manipulative. Iheart would never do that to me. We love each other something you would never understand." said Ma-Ti.

He paused as she mentioned Mechakara killing her. His eyes widened.

"No. You said you won't hurt her. And I won't let you." said Ma-Ti.

He grabbed the nearest thing he could find a chair and charged at her swinging the chair at Dark Heart.

[DarkHeart]

(OCC: Actually both IHeart and Critic should be together so I could make him have a funny moment again, being shocked out of his mind at two IHearts XD. Yeah, we'll do a tiny fight then we'll have her be found out and she'll escape)

DarkHeart laughed, completely unbuying Ma-Ti's defense againest her. She then saw Ma-Ti grab a chair and swung it at her. The chair completely broke and it didn't hurt her at all. She just stood there unamused before smirking "Tisk tisk. Very poor choice. Tree hugger"

She then grabbed his throat and threw him to the porch again. She then proceeded her arm gun and blasted a small electric attack, hoping to injury him some more.

[Ma-Ti]

Ma-Ti frowned as his attack failed. She then grabbed him by the throat as he gasped for air before she threw him back on the porch.

"I won't let you hurt her. I won't let you!" said Ma-Ti.

He tried to lunge at her again but she blasted him with electricity sending him back into the porch again. He cried out in pain wondering if there was anyone still awake. Anyone who could help him.

XXXX

Upstairs the perimeter alarm rang off waking Linksano up who'd dozed off in his lab. He looked at the camera shocked to see Iheart choking Ma-Ti.

"Wait a second. That's Dark Heart. Hang on Ma-Ti. I'm coming." said Linksano.

He grabbed the power fists Jesu Otaku had made while she had been turned into Edward. These would at least knock her back especially if she had a forcefield like Mechakara. He rushed downstairs thankful he'd increased their power limit. They would still run out but it would take longer for them to run out of power. He ran down the steps quickly alerting anyone who was still awake nearby.

[DarkHeart]

DarkHeart saw how quickly Ma-Ti couldn't defend himself. She picked him up and was about to punch him senseless before a familiar voice cried out

"Get away from him, you bitch!"

IHeart. DarkHeart saw her other half glaring at her. She then saw Critic whistling before he saw the both of the girls. Critic turned to DarkHeart, then to IHeart, he did three double takes before saying "Ok. I may not be so sure but the one beating up Ma-Ti isn't IHeart right?"
XXXX

"Ah IHeart. I've been waiting to see you. Your boyfriend just told me you got your hide handed to you by Facilier" DarkHeart chuckled
XXXX

"Yes. He did. Doesn't matter. I'll live another day. You better leave or I'll go tazer on your ass" IHeart snapped back
XXXX

DarkHeart frowned "Has your fight taught you nothing?" She smirked then "I'm not surprised. You never were a good learner"
XXX

"Hey bitch shut up. IHeart's more awesome then you'll ever be. Your name is a resemblence to a fucking Care Bear villain you're one to talk" Critic said standing in front of IHeart protectively
XXX

"I am wasting time. I shall get rid of you IHeart, just not today. I want to see you in battle, where everyone will see your blood spewing out" DarkHeart chuckled throwing Ma-Ti again. Critic ran to Ma-Ti protectively getting out a communicator for some other heroes to come by.
XXXX

"Well Tree hugger you were right, IHeart does care about you. Not enough to actually fight me but soon. I finally bid you good bye" DarkHeart replied, teleporting away

[Ma-Ti]

Linksano immediately rushed out carrying the gloves too late as Dark Heart teleported away. He rushed over to Ma-Ti.

"Ma-Ti? You alright?" asked Linksano.

XXXX

Ma-Ti rolled over coughing up a bit of blood. Dark Heart had beaten him pretty badly. He knew he'd be out of any fights for awhile but frowned feeling awful at revealing information only for her to say she'd kill Iheart anyway.

"I'm f-f-fine. I just need to clean myself up." said Ma-Ti.

He tried to get on his feet only to wince at the pain and collapse.

XXXX

Linksano grabbing his back.

"Come on Critic. Grab his legs. We got to take him inside and get Splinter here." said Linksano.

XXXX

Ma-Ti sighed giving in as Linksano picked up and he waited for Critic to pick up his legs. He just looked at Iheart and smiled.

"At least you're safe." said Ma-Ti.

[IHeart]

Not again. No

Critic would not let Ma-Ti get himself dead again. He lost the boy once. This would not happen again. He immediately picked Ma-Ti's legs up. He then responded loudly "Splinter! We need you! Quickly! We've been attacked!"
XXXX

"Ma-Ti. Oh god. I'm so sorry" IHeart responded, tears pouring through her face. IHeart held his cheek assuringly and responded tearfully "You'll be ok. I promise you'll be ok. You have to be ok" She then wiped them away and shouted out on the front porch, filled with emotions of rage and hatred for her enemy "I swear to god, DarkHeart, I'll fight you to the death if I have to! I'll kill you!"

[Ma-Ti]

Linksano helped Critic carry Ma-Ti into the house and they set him gently on the sofa.

"Splinter! We need help. Ma-Ti's hurt!" shouted Linksano.

XXXX

Ma-Ti shook his head.

"You're still recovering. I couldn't let her hurt you. She beat me up, said she wanted some information. I refused and she got bored with me. She said she was going to kill you. I told her about Patch, about our weapons, that you were still recovering. I'm sorry. I just couldn't lose you." said Ma-Ti.

He turned away too ashamed to look at Iheart, Critic, or Linksano while he waited for treatment.

XXXX

"Hey kid it's alrigtht. Look at me I'm a traitor. i went from bad guy to good guy. And you helped distract her long enough for us to drive her off. And sounds like you didn't give her anything too damaging. i can upgrade our weapons, and we'll keep Patch safe." said Linksano.
