Percer was rather getting annoyed by the noise emanating from the room, and without Azula's calming presence nearby (whom he presumed dead), he was beginning to enter a foul mood. The demons quietly slunk away from the Fragment as he ripped into the living yellowtail between his bread, savoring the live flesh of the fatty fish.
Always be ready to do the unusual and unexpected.The reptile drifted down to the floor, its gravity returning to normal.
This negotiation has failed I guess.
Miserix looked at the two overlords.
"It seems that my wits have failed me today, may we meet again in a different situation someday where alliances are a matter not to be ignored".
Faliure will not last forever.
Miserix turned and dissolved into thin air.

"Science?" said Shang Tsung. "Harry, I am a sorcerer. Look around. Do you see labs? No. Only a stack of pine boards atop a marble pillar, a table with five cups, and a stack of bricks arranged in a three by three pattern, as well as a bed, two chairs, and this throne. I have no need for science when magic is on my side. I can create living beings with magic, but science? No."
J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS!Search out the guitar demon, Ganondorf and Xenmas; tell them that I would like to have a word with them.
The Rahkshi nodded and scurried out of Miserix's lair, their duty will be done with perfection.
The Rahkshi looked around the all lair and finding their target they moved out.
Xenmas, Doviculus and Ganondorf will all soon have two Rahkshi knocking on their lairs.
Upon Harry's going to speak with some of the others, Azula had briefly returned to her chambers, so as to debate over this turn of events. If she were going to be honest with herself, she had never expected Harry to actually discover a talent for firebending (for whatever reason he actually brought more to her mind the personality of an waterbender, considering his somewhat emotional disposition, that was really neither here nor there though). Now that he had, she found herself having to regroup and consider what this meant for both of them.
Of course she had more or less been humoring his attentions at first...it was always nice to have someone to appreciate you, and he was certainly no displeasure to be around. Honestly, he was a rather pleasant young man, nice to look at as well, with some odd yet charming habits, so it could have been much worse...but again, being honest with herself, she had never considered him any sort of threat. Some of the others here, certainly, she kept her guard up with them because it was plain to see that if they weren't her equals (and certainly, she thought, they couldn't possibly be, save perhaps the General...she just hadn't figured out their tricks yet, and that was a puzzle she was steadily working on), but that they would at least be trouble for her...but not Harry. She'd seen no possible issues from him, and therefore no reason to constantly maintain her guard with him. It had actually been quite nice to be able to talk with him, learning and discussing their cultures. She was hesitant to reveal much to anyone else...thus her earlier recalcitrance with Tsung on the subject...but with Harry, it was different.
Of course until the moment he'd revealed his fire, she hadn't really thought any of this out. It was a fair bit alarming to consider though that the thoughts were in her mind, that she actually had lowered her defenses, even slightly, to this stranger. Perhaps it had simply been the state of freshness, being away from the constant attentions that came with being Fire Nation royalty and being known and feared...having a clean slate, so to speak. She still considered herself a representative of her nation and carried herself with dignity, so that the others would know her world was one that demanded their respect...but...
But Harry was just different. He didn't fear her. He didn't constantly heap praises on her, no, but at the same time she still felt very aware of his admirations without his needing to bring it up. And unlike the others, whom for the time being she was simply going along with until they either figured a way out of this or she was able to wrest control herself...she actually realized she was worried about him and these sudden changes.
That realization itself was so foreign that for a bit, it was near-on painful for her, and she did her best to dispel it from her mind as quickly as possible. There was no reason to worry about Harry, of course. He'd just proven how very capable he was. Granted, she'd never thought much of Norman at all but the fact that Harry had overthrown his own father was something Azula felt impressed and even motivated by...though why that was she couldn't explain exactly; after all, of course her father loved her and respected her power and she his in return. And Harry had unlocked a capacity for firebending in doing so, at his (relatively) late age, which was quite amazing as she herself had been training in the art for as long as she could recall.
Okay, maybe she was unnerved. But that wouldn't do. She had no reason to be unnerved, Harry's powers were still new to him and he would require training, and it would be best to come from her. She was the most talented firebender to ever come from the Fire Nation, after all. No matter how amazing his prowess showed to be, he would obviously never match up to her. No, there was nothing to be concerned about after all. He had affections for her, and she knew that he respected her as well. Maybe even slightly feared her, especially after her earlier display of power and ruthlessness against the General's son. Exactly as it should be. No, no. There was nothing to worry about after all. This was just an interesting sidenote, a addition to her stable that she hadn't anticipated and couldn't begrudge. It would all work out after all. She could adjust her plans to account for this.
She allowed the familiar faint smile of satisfaction to return to her face. adjusting her hair slightly before turning to leave her room. She took pride in the fact that all she ever needed was a moment or two to adjust to even the most shocking developments...nothing could get under her skin for more than the barest fraction of an instant. Everything was still under control. Just as planned.

Easing back into life one step at a timePercer finished the rest of his meal in contemplative peace, thinking for the first time about the future. Before, he was only loyal to his fellow Fragments, more siblings than friends. Humans, elves, and, dwarves were weak. Dragons were inferior to the bastard child of the one known as God. Yet the feeling for Harry and Azula perplexed him. It was something he never thought of until now, but he felt their supposed loss rather sharply in his immortal coil. He regretted sleeping, and for the first time questioned if immortality had a price for him.
Then a familiar scent wafted in and he took it in, filling his lungs with it. No doubt about it, it was the smell of fire and ambition. The natural perfume that could only belong to Azula. A genuine smile lit up Percer's face as he realized he didn't sleep long enough for his friends to become dust. His demons were taken aback at the 180 turn in mood, given his previous volatile temperament.
Standing up, he bowed at the waist to the princess, a fulfilled look on his features. "I have missed you, your majesty."
Always be ready to do the unusual and unexpected.Harry sighs. "You seem like a man of both but whatever. I declare this meeting adjounred for now. If the time comes you, me, Azula, Daido and Leviticus will speak."
He walks out of the door and walks to Azula. "Zula. Tsung wishes you to teach him and for him to teach us. It was my payment for his alliance."
Azula's smiled brightened just a touch at the familiar sight, chuckling faintly at the bow. "Mr. Percer, I was beginning to think you had disappeared! What a pleasure to see you again!"
She glanced to Harry as he approached, tilting her head forward just a bit. "Teach you? What could he possibly be after, then?" She crossed her arms. "And then he will be our ally?"
Easing back into life one step at a timeXemnas pauses to hear loud noises to the entrance of his room. He summons a door in front of him (if only for convienence), then proceeds to open it widely. He raises an eyebrow at the sight of a pair of strange creatures in front of him. He silently muses as he takes in their appearance, noting that their design is similar to that of Miserix. I see that he wishes to see me. "Very well, I will see your master. Please inform him of my acceptance to his summons." The Nobody informs the minions before reentering his room and dispells the door, beginning to formulate plans of his own.
[DATA LOST]Percer quirked an eyebrow at that, then inclined his head to regard Azula. "I can guess who the teacher is..." Percer said, honest humour in his voice. How long had he went without emotions except excitement whilst fighting worthy opponents. The two young beings in front of him actually managed to warm his heart- no small feat.
"I was... sleeping. I was afraid that I slept for a century again and had lost your company..." He said to the couple.
Always be ready to do the unusual and unexpected."I suppose we can if we like, Harry." Azula nodded, taking this all in, glancing around between the three men, her smile returning to it's usual lowered level. "Well...I suppose a little tutoring never hurt, now did it?" She smiled, reaching out to touch Percer's arm lightly. "I am very glad to see you back. I have indeed missed you."

Easing back into life one step at a time"Many thanks, Harry." Percer told the Goblin kin, pleased to have such a useful friend. Will the wonders never cease?
"And I have missed you too." Percer replied back to the young princess, his eyes twinkling with warmth. He looked at the new acquaintances, a little distrust mingling into his mind due to actually having something he wanted to protect now.
"Nice to meet you, newcomers. I am Percer, the Sixth Fragment of Chaos." He said, all traces of warmth shown to the teenagers now gone, replaced with a neutral tone and sleepy eyes.

"Am I being ignored?"
Miserix concentrated and a wall of shadow sprung up in front of Majora.
"There are things to be said, alliances to be made and you",
The reptile would suddenly find itself suspended in midair,
"You will not ignore your superior".
