WARNING: Torture and Rape (hardly mentioned, but it's in there!)

Chapter 25: In the belly of the beast (Pt.1)

Jeanne Ellen lounged lazily in the bed, watching Master Z. pace about his massive bedroom. Why was he obsessed with the whore who stole her husband?! Stupid bitch, she couldn't wait to watch her break under Master Z.'s torture. Then after she was broken under Master Z.'s torture, Jeanne would torture her to madness. Jeanne smiled darkly, licking her lips in anticipation.

"Master Z. why are so into Lady H. she's nothing but a whore, a greedy whore," Jeanne purred, climbing up on the bed, and wrapping her arms around Master Z.'s neck, "You have me…."

"You're not as powerful as she is. Imagine, if I had control over that power, I could control the world." Master Z. said, his head turned to the side to talk to Jeanne, who huffed and fell back onto the bed, "What was she again Jeanne?"

"A fucking star," Jeanne sneered, "she seduced Victor with her starry powers, fucking slut," Jeanne sneered.

Just as the two were talking, Trevor came into the room bouncing with excitement. "MASTER Z.! WE FOUND THEM! THE BROWN HAIRED WOMAN IS IN NEW JERSEY AND LADY H. IS IN OREGON!"

Trevor shivered with glee and said, "Apparently Lady H. had a baby…"

Master Z. smiled evilly and said, "Trevor, you will lead the attack on the other woman, Jeanne and I will personally go after Lady H."

Jeanne sighed and got up, "I guess this means I have to watch over the brat."

Master Z. turned to Jeanne and said, "Jeanne, don't you know, a mother's love for their child is an unbreakable bond."

Jeanne sighed and said, "Are you going to kill the brat after you've broken in Lady H.?"

"Of course, I have no use for spawn that I haven't sired." Master Z. said slipping his suit jacket on.

(~~~~~~~~~)

Trevor smirked looking up at the nondescript building that the other Hunter was hiding in. this was going to be an easy capture. He turned to the group of demons waiting for him to give the orders. He pointed to the demon holding a rocket launcher and said, "They're up at the top, blow it up, make sure not to kill the bitch!"

The demon nodded his head and then positioned the launcher up to the top of the building, and launched the rocket, causing the top of the building to explode.

(~~~~~~~~~~)

Stephanie yawned looking at the clock, it was almost midnight, she and Carlos should be hitting the hay soon, they had an early day of baby shopping and wedding preparations then afterwards, they would be going off to see Heidi, Diesel and the baby.

"Carlos, we should be hitting the hay soon, we have a long busy day ahead of us!" Stephanie said, getting up from the couch, "Come on Carlos!"

Carlos smiled and got from his perch, "I love you babe," he said, kissing Stephanie, "I can't wait to get married."

Stephanie giggled and leaned in for another kiss, just as something hit the penthouse, causing it to explode.

The two went flying into the wall, landing with dull thuds on the ruined floors. Carlos groaned and got up, looking around for Stephanie.

"Babe!" he said limping through the ruined penthouse, "Babe!"

"Carlos, right here!" Stephanie said, from her spot beneath the couch, "I'm under the couch, I'm alright!"

Carlos went over to Stephanie and helped her from underneath the couch. He looked around and said to Stephanie, "Come, we have to get out of here now."

The two ran out the penthouse and into the hallway. Stephanie turned to Carlos and asked, "was that a rocket launcher?!"

"I think so, "Carlos said, pressing the elevator button, hoping it would work, "Come on damn it!"

When the elevator didn't work, he cursed again and turned to Stephanie, "is your phone on you? We need to call Diesel, we're trapped up here."

Stephanie dug into the pockets of her slacks and took out her phone, and gave it to Carlos, just as something wrapped around her ankle, jerked her down and pulled her back into the ruined penthouse. she gave a loud yelp and exclaimed, "Carlos!" trying to catch the floor with her fingers, as she pulled back into the remains of the penthouse.

Carlos turned saw Stephanie being dragged back into the penthouse. He quickly ran back into the remains of the penthouse to get her. Hopefully his men had felt and heard the explosion and were now trying to get up to the seventh floor. Carlos went over to the gun safe hidden behind the painting, opened it and took out two guns, both of them pistols, and several clips. With amazing speed, he slip the clips into the gun, turned and aimed. Most of the lights in the penthouse had been blown away, but some were still on, casting an eerie shadow in the remains of the penthouse. The cold air was blowing in from the where the launcher hit the penthouse.

Carlos saw movement from the corner of his eyes, and he turned firing two rounds. A figure grunted, and fell to the ground. He shot several more times in the ruined penthouse, until he heard the elevator door be forced opened.

Tank climbed out of the shaft, and entered the ruined penthouse, "Ranger?! Where are you?!"

"In here Tank!" Carlos said, firing off more rounds, hitting several more people.

Tank rushed over to Carlos and said, "What happened man, a rocket launcher?" looking around the ruined penthouse.

"Yeah man," Carlos said grimly kicking a dead demon, "It was the drug lord, they took Stephanie, shit."

A pitiful groan to the right of them, had them walking over to a slumped figure, who was holding his side. It was Master Z.'s most loyal servant. What was his name? Taylor? Tim?

"What's your name?" Carlos growled kicking the demon in the side, "Answer me!"

"Trevor," The Demon sneered, "It's too late now, we got the bitch! Soon they'll be back at Master Z.'s villa, and she'll be killed there!"

Trevor yelped, feeling the barrel of the cold gun against his head. Carlos looked down at the pitiful creature and said, "Where is the villa?"

"Someplace you'll never find! And if you do find it, you'll be dead quickly, Master Z. has hundreds of guards, more deadly than you, you won't even make to the gate!" Trevor laughed, earning a pistol whip from the gun, "Ouch! Soon, she and Lady H. and the baby will soon all be dead!"

"Heidi, the baby!" Carlos whispered, just as Diesel appeared in the ruined penthouse, his eyes wild.

"THEY TOOK HEIDI AND THE BABY!" Diesel roared, "I'M GOING TO KILL THEM!"

(~~~~~~~~~~~)

Stephanie grunted as she was thrown into the metal cell. It was a tiny one, and she barely had room to stand, so she sat down, to not hit her head. The demons that bought her to the cell laughed and made lewd comments to her.

"Oh, Can't wait to taste you!"

"You look like a screamer, you ever been fucked by a demon?!"

"We'll tear you apart!"

Stephanie hissed and said, "Go to hell you scum!" pressing her back against the wall of the cell.

"You'll be going there first," A woman's voice said, causing Stephanie to turn and watch, as Jeanne Ellen Borrows walked down the long hall and over to the small cell she was in. in Jeanne's arm was a pink bundle that was crying loudly.

"That's Heidi's baby…"Stephanie whispered, before she launched to the front of the cell, "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HER!? WHERE'S HEIDI!"

Jeanne laugh haughtily and said, "She's being broken in as we speak, she hardly made a noise, when we captured her, I guess a mother's love for her baby knows no boundaries. I bet she's screaming now, Master Z. is a rough one."

Stephanie gritted her teeth and said, "You bitch, when I get out of here, I'm going to gut you like a fucking fish!"

Jeanne giggled and said, "Good luck getting out of that cell, and once you do, you have to contend with 4 large male demons, who want nothing more than to ravage you, and kill you!"

Jeanne motioned for the demons to open the cell door. Stephanie gasped and caught Heidi's baby, as Jeanne causally tossed her into the cell, "YOU MONSTER! SHE'S ONLY A BABY!"

"She's not my brat, do keep her quiet, Master Z. will come down, and kill it. He only wants the whore to sire his children." Jeanne said, hatred in her eyes, "Fucking cunt, it doesn't matter, once Master Z.'s done breaking her in, I'll get to break her in some more, turning her into a mindless slave doll."

"You monster," Stephanie said, bouncing the baby in her arms, "I hope Diesel and Carlos kill you both slowly."

"They'll have a fun time getting in, there are over 700 guards, if they managed to get by them, there are 300 more waiting for them, I'll be sure to get you, so you can watch your little man friends die!" Jeanne said, walking to the exit, but then she paused, "Oh yes, you little whore of a friend had this with her."

Stephanie ducked as the Hello Kitty cane was tossed into the cage with her. Jeanne shook her head and said, "She won't need that anymore, ta-ta, I'll be back later!"

Stephanie hid her face into the baby's covers and smiled, thank goodness for small miracles. They had't found out what the can really was.

(~~~~~~~~~)

"Diesel, go to the store and get the items, me and the baby will be just fine alone, no one knows where we are and I hardly doubt Master Z. is going to waltz in here and take us!" Heidi said to the hovering man, as she put the baby down for her nap.

Diesel wrung his hands and said, "Okay, I'll be back in 10 minutes, just going to go and get the eggs and butter, okay?"

Heidi kissed the man deeply and said, "Okay, I'll clean the kitchen so you have space to make the cake."

Diesel smiled and said, "You offering to clean up?! Well, I better go now before you change your mind!"

Diesel disappeared with a soft pop. Heidi turned on the baby monitor, and took the second monitor with her, down to the kitchen. The kitchen was a wreck; Diesel had been slacking off lately, due to him hovering around her and the baby. He seemed to be on edge lately, hopefully this will stop soon.

"He better hurry up, the store closes at 8:30 tonight!" Heidi said to herself as she loaded the space age dishwasher.

She was washing pots when she heard a voice in the monitor, a woman's voice, "Oh my, you look just like your whore of a mother!"

Heidi dropped the pan she was holding, ignoring it as it fell into the hot soapy dish water. She turned to look up the stairs and at the open master bedroom door, the feeling of dread filling her body. Oh no, it was them…

Heidi quickly dried her hands and went over to her cane, that was perched by the back door. She gripped the stone encrusted head tightly, and slowly made her way upstairs. She wasted no time and walked into the master bedroom and whimpered in terror.

Master Z. and Jeanne where standing by the bassinet, Master Z. holding the baby in one arm. Master Z. smiled to Heidi and said, "Well, you never told us you were a mommy now, Lady H., it's a shame we have to kill her, she's quite beautiful."

"No, please, don't hurt my baby," Heidi said softly, using the cane to walk over to the two, "Please, she's only five days old, please have mercy on her!"

Master Z. laughed loudly; holding up one had to reveal a short blade. Heidi could only watch as he traced the baby's face with the tip of blade, just barely touching the child's face. The demon looked up to Heidi and said, "You know what to do."

Heidi nodded her head and said, "Yes, I do," walking closer to Master Z., "I'll go with you, please, just leave her here, please!"

"No, no, she comes with us!" Master Z. said wrapping an arm around Heidi's waist, "She's collateral, if you so much as try to escape, Jeanne will toss her into the furnace."

"No, please! I won't try to escape, I promise, please, just don't hurt her!" Heidi sobbed, pressing into the demon, "Please, she's just a newborn!"

Master Z. gave Jeanne the baby, and wrapped his other arm around Jeanne's waist. the group disappeared with a pop, just as Diesel appeared with a pop downstairs.

"Shit, all they had was the hard butter, Heidi, I have to wait for it to soften, before I can make your-cake…" Diesel said looking around.

He dropped the bags to the floor and was instantly upstairs. The stench of Master Z. lingered in the air. Heidi was gone, he took Heidi. Diesel shook his head and quickly made his way over to the bassinet. He nearly fainted seeing it empty too. That bastard took his child too!

Diesel shook his head, the fear melting into anger. How dare that bastard come into his domain, take his woman, and his child! Diesel growled darkly, his eyes darkening with rage, he was going to kill Master Z. he was going to tear his head off, and pull his fucking heart out too!

Diesel disappeared with a pop and landed in Carlos's penthouse, roaring, "HE TOOK HEIDI AND THE BABY! I'M GOING TO KILL MASTER Z!"

(~~~~~~~~~~~~~)

Heidi struggled in Master Z.'s grip, watching Jeanne walk out with her baby, "NO! LET ME KEEP HER PLEASE! SHE'S JUST A NEWBORN!"

She let out a yelp, as she was smacked in the face, the force of the slap had her on the floor. She looked up at the tall demon and whispered, "Please, let me have my baby, please let me keep her!"

Master Z. chuckled and said, "I'm sorry, but you can't have the baby, we have to break you in, and if you're a good slave, you can see her, there's no need for poppies, the life of your daughter is keeping you in line."

Master Z. lifted Heidi up by her long hair and said, "Now, walk over to the platform over there, and wait for me, facing the wall, do not move or make a sound, or we'll hurt your baby."

Heidi nodded her head and walked over to the platform, that had freshly oiled shackled hanging from the ceiling. She turned to the wall and stood still, waiting for whatever else would come. She shuddered feeling large hands cup her bottom, and slowly slide up her waist. The hands cupped her breast and then ripped off the shirt she was wear, exposing her bra less breast. She grunted as her arms were forced above her head and her hands chained to the shackles. She left lips kiss her neck and her shoulder, large fingers tugging at her nipples.

Master Z. growled as his fingers came back wet, covered in milk, "Mother's milk, such a sweet treat." He purred licking his fingers.

Heidi heard him move away from her. She heard shuffling and then he returned. She heard him say, "Now, this is going to hurt you more than me, remember if you scream you will get a whipping."

Heidi barely had time to ready herself, before something hot, white hot, was pressed to her shoulder, causing her to scream in agony. It hurt so bad, she had stars dancing in her eyes. She didn't register that her mouth was opened and she was screaming for him to stop, to stop the pain. She broke out into a sweat and slumped forward once the white hot thing was gone, her left shoulder throbbing in pain.

Master Z. smiled looking at the brand her gave her, it was large circle that had a Z in the middle of it. she was his slave now.

Heidi cried out as a hand pressed against the spot in her shoulder making the pain ten times worse, her face was grabbed and Master Z. growled, "you broke a rule, slave, you screamed, what do you say?!"

"I'm sorry!" Heidi sobbed, earning a slap to the face, "I'm sorry, Master!"

Heidi sobbed quietly as her head was let go. She heard him walk away again, and then came back. She flinched hearing the crack of a whip in the air and then Master Z. said, "20 lashes for disobeying, if you lose count I'll start over again, be sure to thank me for each lash!"

Heidi relaxed her back, knowing it would hurt less. The first lash hit her wound, causing her to scream and arch her back, but she did manage, "One! Thank you master!"

Master Z. smiled at Heidi's form and said, "Good, girl, you learn so fast!" before he rained down the blows, watching Heidi's back split open with each lash, watching the dark, almost black blood pour.

Heidi counted out each lash, sobbing and crying in agony. She had to do this, or else her baby would be killed!

Afterwards, Master Z. let her down from the shackles and tossed her belly down onto the waiting bed, he tore off her pants and said, "Now, I get to sample the goods, I've bet you had many men fuck you, didn't you, you slut!"

Heidi shook her head and whispered, "Only two, master!" whimpering as he ran a hand over her bloody back.

"Well, then it's about to be three." Master Z. purred unbuckle his pants and sliding them down, positioning himself to Heidi's entrance, which was still sore from giving birth, "I can't wait to for you to be pregnant with my offspring."

Heidi closed her eyes and thought of Diesel, just as Master Z. entered her.

(~~~~~~~~~~~)

"Where is this Villa?" Carlos asked Trevor, his eyes never leaving the man's face, even though Diesel was pacing behind him, growling darkly, "You better answer me, or I'll let him get it out of you, he tore a man's arm off."

"I'll never tell you!" Trevor sneered to the man, "He can tear me from limb to limb, but I'll never tell."

Trevor turned to Diesel and said, "I bet he has that bitch screaming in pain, Master Z. is a sadist you know, loves to see women in pain, to watch as their blood spills, I bet he's raping her to, loves unwilling women"

Tank and Carlos had to use all their force to keep Diesel from going over to the demon and killing him.

"YOU BASTARD! I'LL KILL YOU AND THAT SHIT!" Diesel roared trying to break free from the mens' grip, "TELL US WHERE THEY ARE!"

Tank held tight to Diesel, as Carlos walked up to the demon and read his thoughts. Damn it, he didn't know where the villa was, all he knew was that the villa was somewhere warm and humid, anywhere down south. And there were several willow trees on the villa property.

"Tank, let Diesel go, this worm doesn't know where the villa is, let Diesel kill him," Carlos said coldly, watching as Tank released Diesel.

Tank and Carlos didn't even flinch as Diesel roared loudly and attacked. There sounds of screams and pleas and then the gurgle of blood filling up one's throat. The sound of flesh and skin tearing and then the tangy smell of blood, flesh and waste. Diesel stood up, wiping the blood from his mouth and said, "Call every unmentionable, call up anyone you know, we need all the help we can get!"

Just then Lester came into the interrogation room, and said, "Ranger, Stephanie's dad is here to see you, and he's not alone."

Carlos turned to Tank and said, "Get Diesel cleaned up, then come to the conference room."

Tank put a hand on Diesel's shoulder and said, "Come on, let's get the blood off you, solider."

(~~~~~~~~~)

" ," Carlos said looking at the man and the ten people behind him, "What's going on?"

"Call me Frank, son, and Louise here, tipped me off about Master Z." Frank said pointing to a pretty blond woman.

"Oui, Jeanne was my friend, up until the death of Lord V." the woman said with a thick French accent, "It seems my friend was with Master Z. all along, and helped him killed Lord V. to get to Heidi and Stephanie."

"We Hunters may not like you unmentionables," an Australian man said, swinging a machete around, "But we hate mates who betray us more."

"And the fact that Jeanne killed off our first leader and captured our newest leader is considered double treason," A British black man said, crossing his arms, "All the Hunters are at your disposal; we will join up and rescue Heidi and Stephanie."

"Count me in, "Frank said lifting up a black case, "Seems me and old reliable here, need to come out of retirement early."

"Frank, you guys, thank you very much, we're going to need all the help we can get," Carlos said, picking up the red cell phone on the table, "Seems like I have to call in some buddies too."

"We're just helping you out this one time, and then we'll be back to fighting like cats and dogs," Louise said with a wink.

"Glad to have your help," Carlos said with a smile, "we're going to need it."
