So much to process. Just a second ago they'd acquired a new member... and now Hellmaster Phibrizzo was dying at her feet.<span style="font-style: italic">Or.. is it Hellmaster Phibrizzo?</span>she wondered.<span style="font-style: italic">If she could believe the voice she heard in her head... then this person was the same as all the others. Hell, he.. or she.. might have been offered the same deal she'd been. Now, for whatever reason, she'd lost that opportunity.</span>Doce was absolutely pitiful in stressful situations; she froze up. She didn't come out of her stupor until Rukia poured water over her head and she jumped back to reality.<br/><br/>"We heal him," she said, deciding quickly. Frahlah's agile body allowed her to unfreeze herself and take action. She raised her arms, and with a flash of light, a giant Joker playing card rose slowly out of the floor behind her. An instant later, A giant white Ace rose up from her left.<span style="font-style: italic">King cards..</span>she thought.<span style="font-style: italic">Thank god i can actually use them.</span>Once it had fully materialized, the King's Ace started to glow, and the wounds of anyone within its light began to heal. In less than a minute, Phibrizzo's wounds were gone, and a fair amount of his stamina should have returned also. Somewhat tired after that display, Doce lowered her arms and let the King Cards sink back into the earth.<br/><br/>"That was not a good way to come asking for help," Doce scolded the Demon Lord. "The pretext of being a helpless child is how Phibrizzo sets up his victims. I only helped because if you were being truthful, it would be bad for you to die." She turned to the others, gesturing to the young boy she'd just healed. "Hellmaster Phibrizzo and Frahlah Tahmir both come from the world of Slayers. He is one of the four Demon Lords who seek the destruction of that world, and the most powerful of those four.... But he<span style="font-style: italic">has</span>been beaten before-- once, by the Lord of Nightmares: she who created the world of Slayers and all in it."<br/><br/>Doce shook her head and met eyes with Masahide. "Slayers is like Bleach: all of the characters are ridiculously powerful. What we are up against must be at least as powerful as a god, probably more." Then she locked eyes with Phibrizzo.<span style="font-style: italic">If you were telling me the truth back then, I will be your new master, and I will help you return to your true self. If you were lying... well, we'll see.</span>She wondered if Phibrizzo could hear her.<br/><br/>The "Everything you heard was 100% true" line was suspicious. Really, she hadn't overheard anything. She wasn't even sure there was something in the fortress that could return them home. Perhaps he was playing along to get the others' trust. Perhaps this was some shape-shifting character who didn't know she hadn't heard anything, and was trying to stop her from going back to the fortress so the real Phibrizzo would kill her. Perhaps this was the real Phibrizzo, but he was testing her loyalty.<br/><br/>"We will be needing some answers from you," she said to the Hellmaster. "It is better for you to be answering honestly. If I think you are lying... Well, perhaps you are already knowing how I can force you to be honest. First question: why has the Overseer become your enemy?"
