Fzzzzzzaaakkkkkkk! went the purple lightning as it flew up the spatula, through Ukyo's body and briefly illumined the chef's skeleton.
As Ukyo fell over, trailing smoke, Akane frowned. "Okay, that didn't work either."
"Hmmm. Ah! Just what I need for my experiments," said an old looking elf as he plucked up a pink furred cat and tossed it into a belt pouch that didn't seem nearly that big.
"Hey you! Let me out of here!" Akane yelled, trying to shake the bars.
"Oh dear. There's another one." The wizard gestured and Ukyo faded out. "Tsk tsk."
"Are you hard of hearing? I said let me out!" Akane yelled.
"What? 'Let you pout?' Well, of course. You got tossed in here for trying to steal the bride from the royal wedding, got caught before you could steal her crown, and now you've killed two of your conspirators. Only to be expected you'd pout." The wizard began shuffling off.
"That's... 'killed'?" Akane stopped trying to pry the bars apart.
"Well, 'stilled' is close enough. I needed some experimental subjects for my experiments," said the Wizard. "Don't worry. I think I can fix them."
Akane noticed the elf looked like his oars didn't reach the water. "Uhm..."
"Don't worry, they don't execute people that much around here," said the Wizard as he left, putting a doll with brown hair in the same pocket he'd stashed the cat as he walked up the stairs.
"What do you mean 'that much'?" Akane wanted to know.
"Cats for lunch? Hardly. It's much more likely they'll slap you with a Permanently Nice Geas and get you a job at the Elf-Mart greeting customers," said the Wizard's voice as he was disappearing from view.
Every fantasy world runs by rules.

In Legendaria, there were no less than four Mad Sorcerers. Well, more or less. One was just severely constipated on a regular basis. One was a doddering fool who was half past senility (actually most everyone remembered him as not being altogether there when he was younger - the result of some experiments with black lotus leaf and certain other illicit substances when he was experimenting with such.) One was Medea, who wasn't a relation to the original, but just liked the whole Mad Sorceress image. Finally there was Dracios Fillibusterus, who was somewhat perverted but as long as he kept to himself was just fine.
Unbeknownst to Akane, Ukyo and Shampoo were now going to be experimented on by:
