Klagg and Puff, part 2
As the Tower of Impossible Heights descended through the atmosphere, penetrating the purple clouds, it was as the planet awoke rudely, searching in panic for that little mosquito bearing doom, and the continents formed an iris that locked on to the technologically impossible space faring vessel.
UNWANTED, the planet erupted deep in its core.
"What a wonderful place," Klagg said and pressed her head against one of the round windows. "I don't think we've been here before, have we dear?"
Puff didn't answer, but she didn't have to. This wasn't a conversation.
"And look at that, you won't believe me dear, but it feels like we're flying into an eye!" As the word left her mouth, she hesitated and pulled back from the window. "Oh dear."
Puff finished unbuttoning her robe in silence, and left it to rest over the gnarly seat.
"Oh dear. I recognize it now. Oh dear. I know you, planet."
Klagg extended her unspeakable arm, and gently tapped on the window glass with her hideous so called finger nail.
Tap.
Tap tap.
Tap tap tap.
Tap-tap tap-tap tap-tap.
Tap-tap-tap TAP-TAP-TAP TAP-TA-
"Oh stop it!" Puff bellowed.
"Sorry."
"I don't know why you are so wound up," Puff said and pulled out a box from a rip in space next to her. "It's my arm that gets sliced."
"I know dear, but - "
"But what?"
"It's the sound, dear." Puff said, and managed to constrain herself from tapping the window. "You know, from your mouth." She circled her own with a rotting finger.
Klagg sighed, and hid the box in the exposed tissues of her body.
"The sound is the whole purpose of the cut," Klagg said, and continued with an arm raised: "Now dear, lead me to the Beast That Answer To No Known Sound, for I am not certain my legs will carry me, and if I fall, I know that I -"
"Oh spare me," Puff interrupted, taking Klagg's arm and leading them both through the main exit vortex on the wall; The Tower of Impossible Heights had successfully landed on the planet, and the beast awaited.

Klagg and Puff, part 1
Klagg and Puff stood on a balcony, high up in the air, and watched the world around them burn.
"It's hotter than expected," Klagg said and opened up her robe a bit, revealing a tiny slice of death and decay.
"I believe that's actually what their names mean," Puff answered, her sole eye following floating ash debris passing by.
"Whose? Those?" Klagg asked and tilted her head towards the inferno far below them. There, entities consisting of nothing but swords, smoke and eyes, chased whatever remotely living, cutting them in half, before exploding in a splash of acid blood.
"No, no, not them, that's a -" Puff transferred a nine by nine matrix of symbols telepathically to Klagg.
"Oh," Klagg said surprised. "Oh. Oh! Oh, I feel so silly now, all this time I've been calling them -" Another matrix, different symbols.
"You did not!"
"Just last night, talking to their commander."
A choir of screams cut short reached the balcony; a furry of smoke and swords had just exploded, leaving a trail of twitching heads.
"That's just rude," Puff said, shaking her head. "You should feel ashamed."
"I do, I do," Klagg said concerned. "Do you think they'll forgive me? Oh silly old me, I should just keep quiet."
Puff shook her head.
"Anyway," she said. "Anyway. What were we talking about again?"
"I don't know, dear," Klagg said, her voice still anxious. "Destroying worlds always make me forget things."
"Yes, let's move on. I have other concerns I wish to discuss with you, regarding the annihilation we've been conducting for the past twelve millennia."
Puff turned around and left the balcony with firm steps, only stopping briefly to add: "Could you be a darling and do the lift-off, my arms hurt."
Klagg sighed at the thought of the poor commander, before raising her normally hidden limbs and forming a circle around her slender body. Without a sound, the Tower of Impossible Heights - upon which the balcony rested - took off from the ground and continued into space, leaving the poor planet to its inevitable destruction.
