Before Imogene's guard could close the door, the young women leaped up and wged herself between the door and doro frame.
"Hold up fairy-boy," she snapped, "I want some answers, namely why your crew decided to whisk me away and dump me here without so much as a word for a couple hours or howver logn it's been."
Imogene had never been good at waiting
--------------
Leif watched Euro and Po-ar take off and turned to the otehr druids.
"Anything I can do to help?" he offered.

Morrigan quietly rose to her feet, clenching her solar plexus. "Goddess," she murmured, "That man makes me ill to my stomach." She couldn't do much else; something told her from the way that Po-ar's thoughts rushed that a half an hour was far too generous than reality would serve.
Naga, meanwhile, watched the marker intently. "Well! Look who's coming! Go grab Morrigan," he ordered one of her original kidnappers, "And you, go grab Imogene."
Morrigan was already working on Imogene's panel when the guards discovered her, and like before, dragged her kicking and screaming down the hall. Unfortunately for Imogene, she was brought along also. "LEAVE HER ALONE!!" Morrigan ordered fiercely, though her usually intimidating presence was nothing here, "LEAVE HER BE!"
"Hush," Naga dismissed them, "Be bait, and enjoy."

"Can't you do something?" Euro asked as she and Po-ar stood in his portal, watching the events unfold.
The Tarnb-jin sighed, "Look, if I make a portal, Naga will know about it. I need to find her room first... AH HA! Come on."
He opened a second portal, this one taking them to the room that Morrigan had been held in.
"Looks like they've taken her to Naga. Follow me, but stay alert."

Naga watched the box carefully, having bound, gagged, and blocked the two women's means of escape and communication. Instead of in the center of the room, they were slumped against a pillar---and, thanks to a last minute adjustment on Naga's part, covered in blood. Morrigan appeared to writhe in pain, but in reality, it was anger and disgust. He knew that strategically, the center of the room was more obvious than somewhere closer to a corner; besides, easier to back someone into a corner and demand surrender.
Morrigan was utterly livid, the only pain she felt coming from a swiftly dealt blow to the stomach. She supposed for all her years of torturing him she earned it; it didn't lessen the pain any. If she could just undo her hands, then, then maybe....

Po-ar sighed, seeing guards down the hall as he hid. "Looks like a front approach is the only way."
Euro smirked, "Allow me..."
She walked around the corner, smiling at the two guards who stood at either side of the entrance to Naga's chambers.
"Excuse me!" she said, getting the attention of the men. "Could one of you direct me to your leader? I've come to join up." from her fuku she pulled out her flute. "I heard you guys needed musical help?"

The guards raised an eyebrow, almost taking it, but then asking one, vital question:
"Hey, wait a second----how did you get in???"

What in teh world was goign on. Bait? Who was she supposed to be bait for? She didn't know any of these people? Naga had got himself the wrong girl- that much was for sure. She shot a glare and an eyeroll at Naga and started wriggling in her bongds, trying to get free.

"That was easy." Europa replied with a sweet smile. "You know, the guards at the front door had left their posts... I think they went for lunch, and I just walked right in. How else does a person get into a building besides using the front door, hm?" she asked, batting her eyelashes slightly.

"One moment," Soy said as she leaned over her plate. With the added speed of using a fork, the woman was able to finish off the rest of her servings in under a minute, without looking too much like a pig.
"Done!" she smiled, setting her fork down.

"Ikimasen ka?" Ashuri asked, standing.
Aoikage did the same, though he was a bit more timid about the Saiya-jin woman's enhanced enthusiasm.
"Hmmm.... Moru ikimasen ka?"
~~~
Trans: (keep in mind that I can't remember if the ending should be a MASHO verb or a MASEN verb)
Ikimasen ka? = Shall we go?
Moru ikimasen ka? = Shall we go to the mall?

The guard shrugged. "Well, fine, follow me..."
He led the woman into the room, through a door that framed the bloody captives like a photograph. Naga was crouched in the rafters, just out of sight.
"He's in there," the guard answered, still a good distance down the hall. The other guard followed as well.
"You said you could play?" he asked inquisitively, younger than the first, "Well, here, really quick, play something for us." He smiled. Strangely, he was one of the few Nagaroi that would've supported annihilation of hostilities between their tribe and the others. "If it doesn't trouble you too much," he added rapidly.
Morrigan couldn't look back to see Imogene---she was on the other side of the pillar. Her wrists were starting to chafe from her failed attempts at escaping. Whoever tied these ropes knew damn well what he or she was doing.
How could she warn Po-ar???? She was looking around for something to kick, some loophole in the barriers to exploit, but Naga was there, quiet and laughing. Her senses felt fuzzy and faint, her mind inable to concentrate. She was helpless, and she could've kicked herself until her internal organs ruptured and her bones snapped. Po-ar was in danger.

Europa stopped, looking to the guard who had asked her to play. "Why of course." she replied, raising the flute to her lips.
With a bang, both guards flew backward into the wall... hard enough to snap bones.
Po-ar smiled, comeing out of hiding. "Not bad... can you do the same to that?" he asked, pointing to the door.
The woman smiled, playing another few notes and suddenly the door flew in.
At that moment, Po-ar opened a portal from where he was to the middle of the room. Europa guarded his back from the hallway.

Morrigan's head snapped up, and she struggled even more viciously. Even then, she was tied so tightly that she hardly moved forward much at all. She saw Europa, but where was Po-ar?!
The two shadowbeings and the twenty-plus demons circled the room unseen, Naga quietly overseeing. He wouldn't have been surprised if Konton's messenger was watching from somewhere also. After all, Po-ar WAS here.
Moments, moments to wait... Just a few more seconds.

Not for nothing, though, had Imogene been teh best pickpocket and lockpicker in her gang and Tyson. She had spat out one of her barrets in her hand before she had been foricble tied to the pillar and was now using it as a sort of lever to help loosen teh ropes. Her wrists were starting to bleed now, but she'd be damned if she was goign to sit here and do nothing. Besides, blood was slipperly

Po-ar suddenly appeared in the middle of the room, ki flaring so brightly that any of the shadowy demons would be cowering and covering their eyes.
He lifted his uninjured hand, pointing it at Morrigan's ropes and firing many very small ki bursts.
The ropes fell from around her, Po-ar turning to do the same thing for Imogene, though he hardly knew the woman.
The Tarnb-jin was not one to leave anyone in Naga's hands.
"Quickly!" Po-ar shouted, his ki flaring even more.
