Luckily for Aerrow, he survived the impact from the fall, but his hip and head was now throbbing with so much pain, he kept backing out. But what was really unluckey for him was there fact Dark Ace had followed him down and he still had the energy crystal in his back pocket. And then he heard it, the terrifieing sound of Dark Ace's voice.
"Leave him, he's mine". Dark Ace shot an evil look at Aerrow who was laying on the floor drifting in and out of consciousness every second. Aerrow had a massive gash across his hip, Aerrow tried to stand up but Dark Ace drew out his blade and shot Aerrow back down again, this time straight into his chest, leaving his shirt torn, blood stained and a massive cut right across his chest. Aerrow cried out in agonny when the blow hit him, a blow so hard it even knocked dark Ace to the floor.
"What do you want from me, I told you I don't have the energy crystal!"
Aerrow spat, wincing in pain and gritting his teeth. Aerrow attempted to stand up again, but the pain in his chest and hip, where he received the hits, was so intense, Aerrow's legs failed him and he fell to his knees clutching his side and inhaling deep painful breaths.
"Oh Aerrow I wish I could believe you, but alas I don't, now HAND-IT-OVER!"
Dark Ace's words became more and more impatient, and Dark Ace drew out his blade and activated it, a blood red beam of energy lit up the whole blade. Dark Ace held it towards Aerrow, ordering Aerrow to talk. The heat from the energy blade was so immense it forced Aerrow to fall onto his back, but Aerrow just gritted his teeth, both Dark Ace and Aerrow exchanged grotesque looks until Aerrow finally looked away, still in silence.
"Still not going to talk, well maybe you'll change your mind when we get back to Cyclonia!"
Dark Ace's words landed heavily on the boy, Aerrow's emerald green eyes grew with fear and anger as he gave Dark Ace the most furious look along with a groan and holding his hand to his head and chest. His whole body ached from the hit he got from Dark Ace's blade, like a thousand knives being stabbed into his body. Dark Ace smiled evilly,
"Bind the boy, ensure he can't escape".
Dark Ace clicked this fingers and two of his Talons ran in and seized Aerrow as he tried to run for it, but he was to late, they grabbed his arms and forcefully tied them behind his back.
This put a hard strain on Aerrow's deep cut on his chest and hip, causing him to let out a loud shriek of pain, Aerrow struggled faintly, but to no avail.
"You can't do this, i'll see to it you'll regret doing any of this!" Aerrow screamed and still struggled to free himself.
When the his arms where tightly bound behind his back and his mouth gagged, Dark Ace took one long stride over to him, and he activated his blade and held it inches away from Aerrow's neck.
Aerrow flinched as Dark Ace grabbed a bunch of the boy's red hair and gave it a harsh tug, Aerrow shut his eyes tight in pain and bit down on the tie that gagged his mouth , then he opened his eyes to see Dark Ace standing over him.
"Now listen, behave on this trip and when we are back at Cyclonia, then maybe I will ease up on your torture, but do anything to give me trouble and I wont hesitate to kill you there and then, GOT IT!"
Dark Ace spat and gave another harsh tug on the boy's hair in order to make him respond. Aerrow squinted in agony then looked away.
"I'll take that as a yes then".
Dark Ace said, he clicked his fingers again and his guards forcefully placed Aerrow on the back of Dark Ace's sky ride. Aerrow sat and waited until they reached Cyclonia, wondering what Dark Ace was going to do with him. And if he'd ever see his friends again...
