A long time passed

"Why what's always stashed away in the basement , something far too hot and heavy for anyone else to see." He jokes as slowly the disk pulls to a grinding stop and out of seemingly uniform stone a door appears before them. With a smirk Al straightens his back and begins to recite a chant , one that Kerriga begins to forget immediately after she hears it "Security concerns you see." He explains as the door swings open revealing a massive cavern lit red by rushing rivers of hissing magma .

"Of course," she responded. "And the purpose of this was...?"

Al promptly puts a few fingers in his mouth and lets out a sharp whistle , and the lava begins to stir.

She waited

Al frowns and whistles again , the lava only stirring slightly once more "...Crap why now?" He pouts and one last time lets out a sharp whistle.

She smirked smugly

"I do not want to hear a word." He replies with an embarrassed fiery blush as he pulls out a specialized steel whistle . With a deep breath he blows into the whistle with all his strength and the rocky ground begins to shake beneath them. Then in a rain of ash and magma a monstrosity of steel and red hot fire bursts from the river of magma and lands down right in front of the pair with a triumphant roar that shakes Kerrigan to the core and makes even Al a little weak in the knees.

Kerrigan hid it well. "What is this? "

"It's ma prescious baby girl , isn't it?" He replies as he gives the big ....creature a hug.

Kerrigan wonders how long it will be before the creature eats hI'm.

The creature nuzzles into him like a big metal puppy .

Kilo

She's disappointed.

With a slove creaking grate the monster than turns on her , red hot eyes narrowing as it approaches her.

Her eyes very briefly flashed towards Al when the creature prowled towards her. She wondered if he planned to kill her here, beneath his tiny Empire where her screams would not carry.

From it's gaping leech-like maw red hot lava drips onto the cold black stone , sending up sinister curls of grey smoke in a hiss of heat against rock. The creature advances a bit more slowing down as it subtly forces her into a corner and scans over her with it's glowing eyes. Twin fiery orbs shining red hot like a poker.

"Al," her tone sounded more like a warning; she didn't let herself show fear.

"Hmmn? There a problem?" He replies with his normal sickeningly sweet grin , which now seems much more sinister.

"Get it away, " she did not turn her attention away from the beast.

"...Are you scared?" He asks with a big stupid grin.

"I am not scared," she replied. Certainly she didn't look it.

"Ha! you are!"

"I don't fear you or your pet cat," she hissed.

"Oh I know you don't fear me." He replies with a smarmy smirk as he whistles , and the massive creature lumbers away from her.

She cast him a dark look and retrested from the corner.
