Chapter 25: Tortured "Okay...... HOW DID YOU GET THOSE HORNS AND STUFF!?" Hugo finally demanded of us. A large group of Artemis-clones stood beside him, running fingers over themselves and smiling. "Like I'd tell you." I scoffed. "I'll just get the info from you. Forcefully." I could see steam shooting out of his ears. Comical, if you ask me. Hugo and a few of his men jumped onto the laser cage as it was dropped through a hole in the ground and came to rest in a smaller room. "Oh my god......" Alexis gasped. The room was filled with all sorts of torture devices, including a stretching rack, a spiked table and even a whip and a heavily spiked mace. "Now, will you talk?" An hour or so of torturing left us unable to talk, mainly because of the pain. We sank to the floor, bloodied and bruised, but still alive. My silver hair was stained with blood and my wings were crooked. Hugo had whacked me in the stomach repeatedly with the mace while one of his men whipped Alexis. After that, he took me to the stretching rack and nearly pulled my arms off, but the armour managed to stop that happening. "I...hate...immortality......" I panted. "All that and still living? You're strong, but I'm resourceful." Steam was shooting out of Hugo's ear's again. "Do you like to eat fish?" Hugo asked as the laser cage was towed into another room. "Yes." Alexis answered. "Pity, because the fish are going to be the ones eating you." Hugo pressed a button and the cage dropped into a pool. A pool full of piranhas and sharks. "You gotta be kidding me." I groaned. We were too tired to move, let alone fight. "Talk, and I'll send off the fish." Hugo smiled. Obviously he thought he had the upper hand. Which, in fact, he did, at least until I could find a chance to summon the Archaeion unnoticed. "How...... did you...... manage to get all those torture devices in here......" I moaned as I was hauled out of the fish pool by two musclemen. "I'll tell you if you talk." Hugo was practically steaming. Alexis groaned as she was dragged out of the pool. "Ne...ver.." I snapped. "Bosh, let me deal with 'em. Mebbe 'ey talk if I shoot 'em up." one of the musclemen took a big gun from his back. "Eeep." Alexis squeaked. The guy that was shooting us appeared to be one heck of an idiot. A big gun like that, yet he missed every single shot. The bullets punched into the wall behind us. "Idiot." Hugo muttered and grabbed the guy's gun. "Hey bosh, watch the......" Too late. Hugo's face slammed into the ground. The gun was simply too heavy for him. "Hahah." Jakito smiled. Hugo appeared to have fainted. One of the idiotic men quickly punched in a number on his cellphone. A minute later, two people appeared with a stretcher. "You know, it would have been easier if you just carried him to the medical bay." one sighed as he rolled Hugo up onto the stretcher. "Shorry?" the first guy asked. "Never mind......" a medic sighed and carried Hugo away. "Typical. People with big muscles have small brains." the Phoenix chuckled slightly. The musclemen left the room without even pushing the laser cage somewhere guarded. "I need a healer......" I thought. "Heh, easy." Jakito scoffed. My wounds began to heal and I placed a hand on Alexis's stomach. Her wounds also began to heal. In a minute, we were all ready to go. I flexed my arm and focused energy on my hand. "Archaeion, come to me." I whispered. Sure enough, the black-and-white bow appeared in my open hand. "Dagger Mode." I whispered. The limbs of the bow sharpened and the bowstring disappeared, leaving a double-bladed dagger in my hand. I dug the tip of a blade into the steel top of the laser cage and slowly applied pressure. The dagger cut through the metal like a hot knife through butter. "Piece of-" a circular sheet of steel fell on me. "cake." I finished the sentence as I sliced the sheet into pieces. "Nice one, clumsy." the Dark Dragon smirked. I hoisted Alexis out the hole. "Shut up." I muttered and climbed out. |
