"I remember." I gasped deeply as I struggled back onto my feet regaining my self once again. "Damien Nuro" I spoke as I pointed my blade toward him. The burning magic he used may have cause my body extreme pain, however it cauterized my deep wound so that I will no longer bleed. It may be painful but in a way he just helped me. If I could over come the pain then I would be free to move about without worrying about making the bleeding worse. That wound was deep. Breathing deeply I close my eyes as I requip yet again. This time into the armor that increases my speed to its fullest. My flight armor. May not be able to fend off against his attacks but if I don't get hit then I won't have a problem. The cheetah like armor allows me to move at immense speed. Focus just focus. This pain is nothing. Focusing I fly in toward my opponent yet again as I simply vanish from his sight moving in such a way making it almost impossible for the normal eye to keep up with me. Not only that I doubt his speed could even match mine in this form. I aim several clawed slashes toward his body in hopes that I will tear him apart. I manage at this point to actually cut him as I continue my onslaught. Damien Nuro leader of the cult that was responsible for developing the R system. The one responsible for the kidnapping and enslavement of countless children. This man had to be stopped no matter what. I continued to make several cuts all over Damien's body hoping it would make some impact on weakening him. However amidst the attacks he began to laugh even more. It was unsettling. I didn't understand how he could be laughing while I was slicing into his flesh. With my final slash I then fly back to gain some distance as the dark energy began to envelope him even more. He was bleeding yet his power seemed as if it was skyrocketing even further. It was insane. "What the hell?"
"Are you finished? Now that was fun but I think its time to end this fight shall we. So you finally remember who I am" He smirked. "Now just look at what you have done. Recklessly rushed into attack me without even using a sword. This makes things so much easier. Your covered in my blood silly girl. What a foolish move against someone as potent as myself" He chuckled as he snapped his fingers. Within moments the blood on my hands and the splatters all over my body began to boil reaching extreme temperatures in seconds as I screamed out.
"What the? what is this?" I gazed toward my hands that were covered in blood as the blood began to burn through the armor literally burning through my skin as I screamed out in pain. This was crazy. Did he let me cut him on purpose? Is he just toying with me? At this rate...even I don't think I could defeat him. Struggling in pain I collapse to the ground as I try for yet another requip. Sea Empress Armor. With that I released a giant wave of water around my body to wash the blood of to prevent further burning however the damage was done as I gaze down at my hands, most of the skin literally burned off. I gazed back up toward Damien as I noticed his wounds beginning to heal. "Impossible" I couldn't believe it. Could I actually loose here? If I did then everyone around me would be in grave danger.
"Very well then. I suppose I will have no choice." The Damien snarls. "Okay I will leave her with the two of you. If she doesn't talk then I will have to resort to extreme measures myself." The man speaks as 2 more sinister looking figures walk out from the shadows gazing toward me with blood lusted intent.
"Well isn't she a cute little girl. What did she do boss?" he snickers a little pulling out a long whip as I begin to tremble even more. "Guess its time to have a little fun. Its been boring around these parts. Guess everyone is afraid to disobey. ahahaahaha."
"Find out who was in charge of the escape plan that is all. Do not kill her we can not afford any more casualties. The R system has a deadline. I will give you an hour. If she does not talk then I will deal delivering the rest of her punishment." Damien firmly states as he walks to the other end of the room into the shadows where he talks a seat and watches.
"Noo...please...don't..." I cried out begging them to reconsider what they were about to do. However at that moment I knew it was futile. I was in serious trouble. This was gonna be bad and I had no way to escape. The only way to stop it was to tell them who planned the escape. I couldn't do that. So I closed my eyes bracing myself for what was about to happen. Within moments my body was wracked with intense pain as I screamed out. I could feel their whips striking my flesh as I struggled against the chains. Why? Why did this have to happen. Why was everything so horrible. We didn't deserve this. None of us did. All we longed for was freedom and happiness. A place where we no longer had to suffer from all of this. "Stop" I screamed out in agony as I could hear the men chuckle as if they were enjoying hurting me. But they didn't stop. The continued their abuse for what seemed like eternity until finally Damien told them to stop. They complained a bit about having to stop and then left the room. I continued to cry as my entire body was filled with extreme agony covered in painful welts all over. Some of my wounds had began to bleed as I could feel the blood trail down my skin dripping onto the ground. However, I was relieved slightly by the fact that the men had stopped. I opened my teary eyes only to see a malevolent look in Damien's eyes as he snarled down on me. My heart began to race even faster as I went into a pure mode of panic. "Please...let me go..." I cried out as he grabbed hold of my chin tightly. I tried to pull back away by turning my head but it was pointless as he yanked it forward, now glaring into my eyes.
"Now then this is your last chance. Tell me who planned the escape." He spoke as he pulled out a small knife. My eyes widened as even more fear filled my body. Was this it? Was he going to kill me? If I didn't tell him, who knows what he was going to do with that knife. If I told him, he may kill Sho. My friend. I would be heart broken if anything happened to any of them. They were family to me after all. I gazed toward the man as I trembled uncontrollably. This was it then. He was either going to hurt me even more or he was going to kill me. I had made my decision and I was not about to change it. I could not let him hurt my friends. I just couldn't
"No..." Was all I said as I gritted my teeth and prepared for the worst. The man grew angry as he gripped my chin tighter. He then held the small knife to my face as he raised it up toward my right eye. "Don't please..." I begged, however he didn't speak. He went dead silent as he began to slice the knife right into my eye as I screamed. The blood curdling screams literally echoed through out the room as the man glared toward me. He continued to cut until my eye was gone. Blood flowed down the side of my face as I continued to scream out in pain. All I could think about at that moment was that Sho would never have to feel what I had just felt because I had protected him. He would never have to suffer like that. It was the only thing at that moment that kept my spirit from breaking. Finally Damien pulled the knife out of my eye and walked away. It was over for now. However I was pretty sure the punishment was going to continue until I told him who planned the escape. In other words this would never stop until I ended up dead from my injuries. No matter. My friends were okay. They were safe.
