Chapter 13: Guess who?
After a few long hours of flying and making sure CrashCourse was still following him, Solar Scream hovered into the driveway of a brick mansion that looked like it hadn't been used in centuries. Of course, this had been where they had decided to camp before their (second or third) arrival on Earth. This place, in fact, hadn't been used by any living thing for quite some time, so it was the last place anyone would normally think to look for a Le-Matoran who was associated with the Toabot army. This was also the perfect place to interrogate Green for information since they had night vision (These kind of Matoran didn't), and the only source of light for them, should they decide to run, was the moonlight that shone dimly through the dirty windows, all the cob webs making enough shadows for Teridax to love.
Solar Scream flew carefully through a hole in the garage, most of the wall surrounding the door destroyed so larger beings could enter, and "carefully" landed on the concrete ground, making a few cracks in it and shaking the interior a bit. An action that made Solar Scream smile as it had earned a few worried screams from Angela and Golden. He was only disappointed by the fact that Green had tried to make himself look unafraid. Like this had been nothing compared to a few other past experiences. To top it all off, Green had also raised his right wrist to look at it, as if there were a watch, with a bored expression on his Pakari. This earned a growl from Solar Scream as he opened the hatch of his armored plane form.
"I'm afraid the ride ends here". Solar Scream told them in an "oh so sad" voice. Then in a more serious tone: "Get out, now".
Within ten long, and annoying seconds, he felt the three Matoran scramble out, feeling their way around as there was barely any light where he had landed, making it harder for them to see. Solar Scream mentally rolled his eyes in annoyance, thinking of how much shorter time this would have taken them if they were all Onu-Matoran. As Angela helped Golden get down, CrashCourse had parked in the garage, transforming to Toa mode before stepping through the hole and keeping a close eye on the three Matoran as he walked to the other side of the room, guarding the barely visible exit. Solar Scream let out a relieved sigh once the Matoran were a safe enough distance away and transformed as well, backing up to the hole he had entered and guarding it as well.
Green paid less attention to the Makutacons and focused as much as he could on his surroundings. It took a few minutes before he could get a somewhat decent view of the massive interior. The first thing he noticed was the outlines of gray cinder blocks scattered randomly across the floor. Whether this was the result of the mansions age, or done to trip the Matoran in case they ran, he didn't know and he didn't fully care. Next thing he had noticed was that there were two cases of curved (arched) stairs, one on the left and right to a large pillar-like column. As he continued to take in his dark surroundings, his eyes eventually found Golden hiding under a round concrete Angela who was lying flat against the pillar-like column, her breath shaky as she lowered her head in desperate prayer.
Both were evidently terrified and the fact that it was dark in here clearly didn't help anything. It made Green angry to see them this way. Ever since he had dropped out of college, he had wanted to give Golden and Angela both a happy life with a lot less worry and no risks whatsoever towards their lives. Or if ever there would be any, definitely not by a group of Bioformers who didn't know how to let go of a grudge.
Finally tired of the silence, Green spoke in a sarcastic tone: "Nice place for a kidnapping, it's spooky". Then in a more serious tone: "I understand why you brought all three of us here, obviously to keep me from running. But I still have to ask: Why did you bring me here"?
Okay, so maybe that was a stupid question to ask, but truth be told, there were multiple reasons why the Makutacons would be capturing him. First reason was, of course, for killing Killer six months ago. Killer had been a very popular general among the Makutacon army and the green one that showed up at his zoo earlier was clearly somewhat angry about that. He doubted that no one else was if they were a Makutacon. Second reason was he knew the location of the Toabot base and how to get in. If they were able to get that answer out of him, they would have an easy victory within moments. But even if that were the case, Green wasn't going to give that up anytime soon. Lastly was his rivalry with Edward, and since the Makutacon (cough-Traitor-cough) had a pretty big ego, he almost wondered in he had taken Killers place in this army. 'Then again, what a disappointment THAT would be'. Green thought.
Solar Scream, CrashCourse and Edward, who was standing in another corner, all rolled their eyes at Greens first sarcastic remark, having little care for what this Matoran could say about their current location. Personally, if Edward had a say in it, Green would have been brought to Iconox and interrogated by Insidious himself. Or worse, made to stay out in the cold and freeze to death. After all the times Green had challenged Edwards intelligence, vengeance only seemed necessary to him.
"Two reasons". Solar Scream responded. "First one being, information on the Toabots that we need in order to get the upper hand. The second one, well that's a little surprise. Oh and there's a third one: death".
Green scoffed. 'Doubtful'. Green thought. Edward still being alive was enough of a surprise to the Le Matoran, so he doubted that he would be surprised by anything else they had to say or show. Also, he couldn't help but be a little happy with himself for being right on the interrogation theory. When Green heard Solar Scream mention that third thing, he narrowed his eyes and started to back away a bit. He was aware that all of his exits were blocked, but he was ready to run around whatever space he had in order to get away from his captors. He knew that he had no chance of escaping, but if things took a turn for the worst, he could at least try to wear them out.
"So this IS about the time I killed Killer Prime". Green stated, continuing to back up. "I think you guys should know, that memory gives me nightmares and I didn't want to kill him, but I had to save Paradox. I didn't have a choice"!
At that exact moment, Green felt his back hit what seemed to be a metal leg, one that was very muscular and heavily armored. He felt a threatening breath pass through the side of his neck, the exhale strong enough to send concrete dust flying through the air. Green immediately shuddered at this and stepped forward a bit. Not that he was scared or anything. He just really wasn't getting a good vibe from this Makutacon. Green immediately lowered his head in thought. 'Why did the voice behind that breath sound so familiar'? He knew he heard that voice from somewhere, but where? Whoever it was, he sounded like he was ready to snap him into two in an instant. 'Wait a minute…'
"Is that so"? The voice asked, sending a chill down Greens spine, as well as widening his eyes. "I'm sure Paradox appreciated the effort, even if it did FAIL".
Green blinked a few times, his eyes still wide. 'Did I just hear… no'. Green thought. 'It can't be! There's no way it's possible! He's dead'! Green slowly turned towards the source of the voice, silently and desperately hoping that he was wrong. Upon finally facing the larger form, he didn't recognize the body, but when up into the dark blue eyes that shone from behind a red, familiar face, his fearful thoughts on who this was, were immediately confirmed.
Angela could hardly believe the sight herself as she gazed upon the Makutacon warlord who stood menacingly over the Le-Matoran. She gulped as she watched the silent exchange, her entire body shaking in fear of the thought of what Killer was going to do to him. She wanted to shout, to tell him to run as fast as he possibly could. But when she opened her mouth to shout, nothing came out. She was just too afraid for her own boyfriend's well-being. Too scared to even whisper a single word. She looked to Golden as he shook from under the round concrete table and began to wonder if the Makutacons knew where he was, or if he was any closer to going into a light attack than she was.
Green could only look up in disbelief in the face of the Makutacon third in command himself: Killer. "You-you're ba-"?
Green was immediately interrupted when Killer gripped his throat tightly in his right hand, lifting him from the floor and bringing him closer to his face. "Yes you worthless maggot, you failed to keep me down. I am back"! Then with an angry roar, he threw Green to his right, the Le-Matoran flying into a brick wall and collapsing to the ground, dust raining over him and a few bricks falling onto his back.
"GREEN"! Angela had immediately exclaimed, the fear evident in her voice.
Golden let out a quiet whimper as Killer stormed past his hiding place and approached Green who was starting to get back up on his feet. Killer couldn't help but smile at the painful expression on the Le-Matorans Pakari. It was only a fraction compared to the pain Killer felt before his "death". The Sphere burning into his face and causing an overload which burned a number of circuits in his head, but it felt good to bring Green pain nonetheless. It was a miracle that his memory chip wasn't destroyed. But when Killer saw no fear in the Le-Matoran's eyes, his rage burned hotter. He stopped Green once he got to his knee, picking him up and allowing the rage to be shown in his face.
But Green just looked back into the Makutacon's hate-filled eyes, refusing to show a single ounce of false fear. Truth be told, Green was never afraid of Killer. People could call it stupid, but Green didn't care. In a war like this, all fear would ever do for someone was get them killed quicker. And with a way to get the Toabots here in a few hours, Green would just have to stall him until then. Green gave Killer an expression of false confusion.
"So what happens now"? Green asked Killer, in a sarcastically confused tone. "Do I scream, do you hit me again"? Then with a serious tone and face: "How's your head by the way"?
Killer snarled in response, clearly annoyed and angered by Green's mention towards his "death". Truth be told, Killer was about ready to tear Greens head off for defeating him the way he had. That insult was more than enough to make his temper boil. If only he could kill the Le-Matoran now! But no. He had orders from The Insidious not to kill him, just to interrogate him, and despite his popularity status in the Makutacon Army, to not follow a direct order from ones master was considered a high disrespect, so he wasn't about to refuse an order from The Insidious. Someone who was three times his size, a Makutacon of Telekinesis, and expertly skilled in many martial arts. Not to mention the fact that he wore a Kakama.
But Green continued to annoy him: "Oh, did I strike a nerve, oh wait, wire, sorry"?
Almost immediately, Killer punched Green across the face, not hard enough to kill him, but hard enough to hurt like crap, and threw him behind himself, sending the Le-Matoran rolling a short distance away. "Silence maggot"! Killer bellowed. He took a breath to calm himself a bit as Green rose to his feet, rubbing his right cheek a bit. A few seconds later, Killer turned to the Le-Matoran and said: "Now, if we're finished with your childish antics, I will tell you what's going to happen". He began to slowly approach him, this time allowing him to stand back up on his feet. "First We're going to get the information we need from you, and believe me, we're gonna do whatever methods we have to get you talking, and when we're finished here, I'm going to kill you". Killer threatened. "Slowly and in the worse ways you could possibly imagine". With that, Killer got down on a knee to face Green at eye level. "Question one: do you fear me"?
Green stared back at him, unphased as he replied: "Not even a bit".
Killer made a sick grin. "Good. This makes my job all the more fun".
As Killer then rose to his feet and walked off a distance, he thought about how much time Green had spent with his weaker brother Paradox. In the six months that had passed, surely Paradox had shared SOMETHING with the Le-Matoran other than one of his constant lectures. Maybe he had told Green about the relics, or about how Planet X had really been destroyed, a story for another time. Though it didn't exactly relate to the Makutacon's current goal, it was best to make sure that Green didn't know enough about the Bioformers to know any other weak spots than the eyes. That was the last thing they needed from someone they were going to beat answers out of.
"Second question: how much do you know about our race"? Killer asked him, turning slightly to him.
"Only what Paradox and the other Toabots have told me". Green responded.
Killer growled to himself. 'So he HAS been talking important details with Paradox'. Killer thought.
"They've told me about you, how you were recruited, The Insidious and how he got his current spot with the Makutacons, and how he lost to the Toabot general Xanthium". Green continued.
Killer tensed slightly at the Le-Matorans mention of the name. Xanthium was the reason for the Makutacons very first defeat. He remembered how The Insidious had always described it. It was the only time he had ever heard any sorrow in his voice. But how couldn't he feel like that upon remembering it? He had been so close to giving the Makutacons the revenge that they deserved, so close to freeing them from the tyranny of the Turaga Council. Then Xanthium had been there to stop him, leading the first group of Toabots to fight the Makutacons. To willingly protect the ones who enslaved them. As Insidious had always told Killer, Xanthium won with a cheap shot to the legs, a blow so strong it had rendered his Kakama useless.
"And Paradox says that he's still alive". Green finished.
Killer immediately laughed, as did the other three Makutacons in the room, leaving Green confused.
"Foolish boy". Killer had finally responded a few minutes later. "Xanthium hasn't been seen in ages".
"And The Insidious hasn't either"? Green responded.
Killer growled and turned fully to the Le-Matoran, his face redder with anger as he glared back at him with an intense hatred. "You dare try to correct me"?!
"Careful sir". CrashCourse instantly spoke up. "He's the only one who could have the information we need in order to get into the base".
As much as CrashCourse would gladly enjoy to see the Matoran die for throwing those insults at Killer earlier, they still needed that info. Not just the address, but also information on how many Toabots were actually there were, who these Toabots were, and secret entrances and exits. If they knew of the secret entrances, more power to them. If they knew the secret exits, they could easily trap them all inside and kill them all.
Killer turned angrily to CrashCourse and responded: "I know, but I'm starting to lose my patience with him". With this Matoran having already killed him once and currently throwing insults, that was obvious. "And do not attempt to remind me of things I already know"!
Edward ignored the two and glared over at Green, personally wishing that Killer would just finish him already. The Le-Matoran was a major annoyance as it was and he had demonstrated clearly enough that he was very loyal to his friends. More than once to be precise. The best thing to do in Edwards mind was to snap his neck and get it over with. But seeing as they needed the information, he guessed it was excusable to send him, Killer, CrashCourse, and Solar Scream after him. He just hoped that this wouldn't be a waste of precious time. Something that would surely be running out soon as they were moving on a clock.
"Last question, answer the way I want you to or I'll kill you anyways as your life doesn't matter to me". Killer warned Green, upon turning back towards him.
Green narrowed his eyes. "I don't want to".
Killer snarled and threw a brick at him, purposely missing as he responded: "I care little for your opinion"! Then, as he kept an angry glare: "Now, tell us the location of the Toabot base".
"Go screw yourself". Green immediately responded.
Sure, Killer could be a bit intimidating, and he knew a few Toabots were actually afraid of him, but that didn't matter to Green. Like he said, Green wasn't afraid of Killer, and he wasn't going to let himself be either. Regardless of what was to come in this interrogation, no matter how badly he would be beaten, Green believed that the Toabots would win, and that God was on their side. Plus, the Toabots were some of his best friends and he was NOT ready to let them down just yet. If he had to, he'd fight with them on the battlefield against every Makutacon in the universe if he had to. Deep down, he knew that the Toabots would still win this war. They had beaten Killer before and they would surely do it again.
Enraged, Killer let out a roar and pulled his red Skrall sword from the magnetizer on his back and charged at Green, ready to slash at him. Green frowned at first, completely unphased by this Makutacon General who clearly had the attitude of a baby. 'But why not have a little fun'? Green thought. When Killer was about a foot away, Green had immediately tried to look scared and raised both of his arms to shield his face.
"Wait"! Green shouted, halting Killer who continued to breathe heavily in rage. "Wait, I'll tell you". Then looking up at Killer with a smirk on his face: "It's at your mothers house".
Killer just growled in both aggression and annoyance. 'This is going to be a long night'. Killer angrily thought.
