Chapter six:
Vav and Mogar continue to cuddle not sure what will become of them.
Vav turns to glance to the door but he can't see anyone coming or even hear anyone. He wonders if they'll be trapped here forever. He turns back to Mogar. He wants to stop the two and fix whatever they've done to Mogar but he can't do much while trapped. He keeps the other close deciding to do what he can for now.
Eventually the two shift to lay down while still cuddling and they try to get some rest.
There isn't much else to do.
They do eventually fall asleep exhausted.
Vav is the first to awaken blinking his eyes open. He finds himself smiling as he must admit that Mogar sleeping makes him look cute and peaceful... Even though he looks almost sickly from whatever was done to him. He hears heavy footsteps and quickly sits up turning to the door.
The movement seems to have awaken Mogar who blinks sleepily at Vav.
The door opens with a click of the lock unlocking making Vav leap to his feet and Mogar to sit up a little.
About four guards come in and head for the two.
Two grab Vav and two go for Mogar.
"No!" Vav tries to dash forward to protect the other but is held back by the other two. "What are you doing!?"
"We came here for him." One says as Mogar is grabbed too weak to fight them off.
"No! Leave him alone!" Vav struggles but it seems to be fruitless. "You can't take him!" His words almost seem to be ignored as Mogar is taken away. He can't go after them because he can't get free.
Once the two with Mogar are gone the ones that have Vav toss him to the back of the room making him smack into the wall.
"Maybe you'll get lucky and see your precious friend there be drained of all his energy." One chuckles at Vav who pushes himself up from the ground glaring at the two. He leaves as Vav gets to his feet.
Vav dashes forward but slams into the closed door finding it locked.
The two laugh. "Oh how pathetic." They walk away laughing.
Vav slides down falling to sit on the floor and curls up slightly bringing his hands to his upper arms rubbing them. "I can't protect any of my friends from evil can I?" He sighs to himself and a tear escapes down his cheek. "Mogar... X-ray... I'm s-sorry." He softly sobs out the apology and after speaking he sits there against the door crying to himself.
Once he manages to calm down he sniffles then a little slowly sits up.
He wipes his eyes then looks as determined as he can. "I can't just sit here feeling upset with myself." He says to himself. "I have to do something! I have to save Mogar!" He raises his head high. "I have to find a way. I have to." He glances around trying to think of a way out of here. He knows that the door is locked so that's out of he question. He gets up and tries to see if he can see the key hole but he can't really see it well. He backs off and stares at the door. "There has to be a way out." He glances down to his gloved hands. "There's gotta be something..." He then blinks as he remembers something. "Wait! What about anything Hilda gave me?" He begins digging around looking for something to use. "Why couldn't Hilda have given us more stuff like something that would burst open a door." He grumbles as he continues to search. "I guess they didn't think about these."
...
Ray blinks as something comes to him. "Did we check what items Vav has from Hilda?" He asks.
"Don't worry about that." The Mad King says. "If Vav escapes he'll be caught soon. We have enough people who will overpower him. Besides if he gets past them and find us well we will probably be on our way to taking over the city at that point."
"Okay." Ray nods.
...
"Aha!" Vav finds something and holds it up. "This should work!" He pulls out a lava lamp.
The guard looks then laughs. "Haha! That won't work!" He walks away laughing.
Vav smirks. "Oh?" He says quietly. "We'll see about that." He moves to the door and checks how far away the guard is. He backs up once satisfied and aims the top of the lava lamp at the door. "Please don't be loud." He takes off the cap and hot bright orange liquid goes flying at the door melting it. "Yes!" He drops the now useless item and goes carefully moving through the hole. "Now to find Mogar." He turns and runs down the opposite way that the guard went.
"Vav?!"
Vav skids to a stop and turns seeing Ash. "Ash?"
"How'd you get out?" Ash asks.
"One of Hildas things she gave me. It was the only one I had that would work though." Vav says. "I'll come back for you guys. I need to get to Mogar. He was betrayed and they might kill him."
"Hurry then." Ash tells him in which Vav nods then races away. "Please be careful Vav." She whispers to herself a little worried.
Vav keeps moving down the hall staying alert for any guards. "Once I help Mogar the best course of action would be to go after the head of all of this. The Mad King and X-ray." He flinches as he is reminded of his friends betrayal. He closes his eyes for a moment and shakes his head only to open them in determination. "I can't let myself get caught up thinking about that." He spots a metal door up ahead and he slows to a stop. He looks for any lock or alarm system but sees none so he tries it opening it cautiously. He goes through then closes the door behind himself as quietly as he can. He turns and looks to the stairs leading upwards. "Here I go." He begins climbing them hoping that he won't be too late to save Mogar. He gets to the top of the stairs finding himself facing a door. He bursts through the door and looks around spotting at least three guards turning to him. He dashes down one way with no guards letting his feelings direct him. "I'm coming Mogar." He says quietly to himself and keeps moving as the guards chase him. He just has this feeling of where he is supposed to be going so he's trusting it. He takes a sharp right effectively loosing one of the guards chasing him. He keeps going and feels like he is getting closer and closer to his destination. He spots a closed door up ahead and pushes himself picking up in speed. He slams himself into the door effectively bursting it open. He stumbles to a stop and looks only to see Mogar.
Mogar looks to be having his energy drained as he is hooked up to a machine by his wrists and ankles.
"Moagr!" Vav kicks the door closed to try to not be spotted right away. He tries to run up to the other but is forced back by some sort of shield. He falls onto his butt as he is knocked back.
"... Vav..." Mogar croaks weakly.
Vav hears the door lock.
"Well. This'll keep you here." A guard laughs.
"Have fun watching the doom of your so called friend." Another joins in then they head away laughing.
Vav decides to ignore them and gets to his feet. "I'll find a way." He tries running up to the shield to try to push against it. He hopes that he might be able to break through this way. He however is thrown back with more force almost hitting the door. He lands on his side but shifts to get up. "I can't give up. There has to be a way."
