Rebellious
Chapter Fifty – Disrespect to the Superior Commander
The two zoids remained outside the village, being kept watch over by the Imperial Soldiers that had been dispatched. Daniel, still with Sapphire remaining in his arms, had carried her into the city, commanding soldiers to be prepared if she lashed out. Doing it so quickly, Daniel had grabbed her arms and forced them behind her back so the metal cuffs could fit over her wrists. He passed her over to one of the soldiers who pushed her onto the ground, her knees colliding with the solid pavement painfully. He nearly winced, knowing that the bone will most definitely be bruised within a few hours. He took a glance of the other girl who had been rounded up. She was swearing at the boys, stomping on their feet and when she got free from their grips, the only place she ran was to Sapphire's side.
The organoids were taken on a long cargo holder, still paralyzed from the teasers, but he could tell that the three of them were extremely, very, angry. He could not even digest how angry the gold one was. He watched as they were driven away, maybe increasing the anger of the organoids a hell lot more, he didn't know. He wasn't sure if the organoids could even feel for their masters anyway. He turned his attention to Raven who sat far back from everyone. His gaze lingering on Sapphire, neither angry nor pleasant, but it wasn't something that Daniel found good. There was a history going on between the two since they met and he wasn't sure if that would make things more complicated for everyone. But he turned his attention back to Sapphire again, who growled at the others who tried to touch her, but tried to convince her friend she was far, apologizing for frightening her.
That was a rare act, seeing her apologize when she was never known to have had those words ever leave her lips before.
"Get them on the jeep, we're taking them in." Daniel ordered and this time, Sapphire was took by her arms tightly and forced to go against her will and forced onto the jeep. She fought, as always she fought, but she sat down violently, displaying she was not going to willing see to obedience. Rain acted in a similar manner but she looked and appeared to be easier to handle than Sapphire. Daniel knew there was no one more difficult or anyone close to Sapphire's stubbornness. No one could ever get the white blonde haired female to ever be cooperative. But there was one thing he did notice. Sapphire and Rain look very similar to each other. If it weren't for the hair of Rain being dark silver instead of a light, he would never have been able to tell the difference between them, aside from attitude. That would be very confusing.
He climbed aboard the jeep that the two prisoners had been placed upon and looked over at Raven. "Are you boarding with us or joining us later?" Seeing the dark haired boy look away, he knew the answer. "Meet you back at the base." He nodded at the driver and instantly they were going further into the city. The surface base would easily be spotted. It would be on the other side of the city, on the outskirts, where the largest area would be. The base that they were going to go after seeing Prozen, would be the underground base, where they shall be imprisoned for as much time as Prozen saw fit. However, Sapphire knew that the base underground was not allowed to be used, but she knew Prozen's plan already. That was where they were going to end up, including the organoids for that was where Prozen delivered his illegal experiments to and where he did his acts against the rules and regulations of the army he had joined under the Emperor.
Rain was taking in the sights of the city whereas Sapphire had her eyes closed, focusing, listening but not to the things around her. Her attention was elsewhere. Even without her zoid she could discover the location of Rafael. His demonic signature so transparent to her, her very body remembers it. Feeling the pulsating energies that belonged to him, she knew he lived, his wounds nearing full regeneration, and his anger consuming him much more. She knew he was waiting for this battle. There were many innocent lives in this city and he wanted to wipe them out during their battle. Mentally smirking she already had a plan against that. Her friend Rain wasn't at all useless… at times. She opened her eyes feeling Prozen's human energies coming from a building, the surface base of the city.
Entering the base many soldiers gathered around the jeep that held them in. Her sapphire eyes glanced out to the city. She had actually hoped that Raven would come along for the ride, to see how much she would insult Prozen to his face. That was the one of the fun things she had in mind, to see the boy's reaction to her disrespect to the superior officer that Raven only obeys. Stayed focused to the present, she was forced out of the jeep and when one of the males accidental touched her in a way she didn't like, she kicked out with her leg and hit him directly in his sperm ducts. He fell to the ground, holding them in sheering pain. Of course she was surrounded and placed to the ground for such actions.
She was hauled onto her feet and forced to move forward. Rain was made to do the same thing. Two soldiers at the door opened them and allowed the passing soldiers to go through. Sapphire really didn't need to look to know where she was going, she already knew this place. She had been in it so many times that she lost count. Her visits here were too frequent, so many times, it was scorched into her head and she was never able to forget like you could never forget a scar that you got. She kept looking straight ahead so they couldn't take advantage of her closed eyes; she knew what most of these men were like. They all hated her because she was far skilled than them, some respected her and allowed her to do what she wanted, but some had only tried to befriend to gain access to her so that they could inform Prozen. Which she already knew! In people she can always tell if they are true to their words if they have an ambition behind them.
Time to meet again, Prozen! I assure you, don't enjoy your time with me imprisoned down there. Even though you won't be here for long! Sapphire thought.
She was brought to a room that was opened by two soldiers standing guard. Upon seeing Sapphire, they remembered. The girl with the blue eyes that changed purple! Their bodies' shook from the memory and she gazed at them, smirk at the present, her eyes looking out from under a fringe. They saw her as creepy. Swallowing their nerves, they opened the doors and moved as far back with the doors as they could. Their eyes were pinned onto her, unable to look away from the 'demon' that walked their path. All of them went inside and they closed the doors behind their, sighing in relief when she was fastened on the other side. But they feared for Prozen, he had been in the same room with her once, alone as well. Could he stand up to her again, remembering she was as deadly as a wild wolf?
Prozen looked up from his desk and smirked upon seeing Sapphire restrained in metal cuffs behind her back. He actually thought that they couldn't have done it.
The soldiers moved and stationed themselves around the room, but two remained close to Sapphire, in case she decided to try anything funny. His red eyes slipped over to the silver haired female her resembled Sapphire; aside her hair was too dark of silver so she couldn't be compared to Sapphire entirely. Her eyes were a blue, the depth nowhere near the dark depth of Sapphire's and again, she could not be compared to the girl entirely. There were so many differences and similarities that it was unending. The list would go on until there was nothing else to describe either of them as. But alas, he knew that although they may look alike, they would never act alike.
"I do believe I overestimated you, Sapphire."
"You do not estimate me enough, Prozen." She lifted her head and cocked it sideways. Her eyes already deadly, her smirk spoke of the same deadliness as well. "To play a game you can't play in; do you really find yourself that privileged to just join in whenever you want?"
"As your superior officer in command, Sapphire, I have all the privilege that I want." Overconfident, she surely guessed that.
"You are not my superior officer in command. I left the Imperial Army; you have no rights or control over me."
"May be so, Sapphire, but you don't seem to understand. You signed a contract that has not yet been terminated."
She laughed. She couldn't resist herself. Before her Prozen believed she was no threat, but she was taunting, making sure she definitely got to go to the underground base that Rafael resides within. She just had to push him a little bit further and it was all hers. "Don't mock me, Gunter Prozen." She said dangerously. Too dangerous for the man's liking! "There has never been a contract between the two of us. You kidnapped me from the village that governed me and you insisted on my obedience otherwise you would destroy it. Let me make myself clear once again. All that you have brought onto me, everything that you dished out to me, you will feel all of them onto yourself, tenfold."
She smirked, seeing his expression widen in both fear and in memory. She knew he remembered, she definitely knew. He went to speak but his words were caught in his throat to do such a thing. Knowing all too well, she at first chuckled and then she burst out laughing. Seeing this side of Sapphire, Rain remembered the memory. It was part of the time when Rain had been severely injured by enemies and she had lost it in rage. She had become so calm, so deadly, dangerous that she found a lot of things funny, speaking of threats and murder, telling stories, making people remember stuff from their past and she was able to read it off of their faces. So now, Sapphire was reliving her own hell, bringing it onto the bringer of it all. The man who sat in front of her had brought about the very reason Sapphire had lived on in such hatred.
He cleared his throat and tried to focus on the now. He really wanted to show Sapphire who was the leader, but he was getting nowhere with this one. She gazed at him with her seeming to be all knowing eyes. She was backing a pile of nervous inside of him. In truth he didn't understand why he was facing her again after the incident a while back, but he came across Sapphire as something else when her eyes were blue, but her purple ones… God who the hell was she? What was she? He once again swallowed his nerves. No use asking questions to himself… that was going to get him nowhere. He wanted to launch a surprise attack on her, but he didn't know what kind. There was nothing that could actually surprise her totally, she always seemed to know.
"Something the matter… Prozen? Fear gripping you so tightly that you're unable to say your words?" She chuckled, a dangerous chuckle. Her eyes were shadowed by her fringe, head bent low as she chuckled, and when she lifted her head to look at him, they had taken on the colour that he hoped would remain buried within his memories. But his memories had come alive instead. "Must I blatantly remind you of things that you remember so very clearly? Send me your surprise; I can probably already guess it!" She grinned, something that she normally has never done, but now that she has, it was extremely scary for him to see it with those eyes of absolute terror.
Prozen couldn't deal with her. He really couldn't. "Take them to the cell's in the underground base." He waved his hand and dismissed them. They took the girls away, leaving Prozen to be able to relax now that Sapphire had been taken away. But he couldn't relax. This was just part of her that would never go away. There was always a reminder that she was there and always would be with him some part of the way. There was her energies mingling in the air, hanging heavily, reminding him she had been there, and makes him feel like that she was watching him, even if she was in the room or not. He rubbed his temples, his red eyes wide with fear as he stared at the desk.
"Prozen, you do know that using the base below us is against the law now. It has been locked down since it has been that you…"
He slammed his fists on the desk. "I know!" He snapped. "Do not remind me! Sapphire will be sent down there with that friend of hers. She can be enveloped into her dark past. I don't care! She will suffer as must as she is making me suffer with her creepiness."
"You find it fair that since she gets to you, you can make her suffer the dark memories of her past?" The soldier narrowed his eyes in disgust. "Whatever, it's between you two. Don't put me in the middle." He left. Although he found what Prozen was doing entirely wrong, he dared not go against his superior. Prozen had others who would exterminate him if he felt like he would disobey his orders. He clenched his hands and moved on, forgetting Sapphire who was being sent below. She had nothing to do with him and vice versa.
Prozen clenched his fists and nearly slammed them on the table again. Sapphire was really getting to him, he didn't know how, but he was sure he could figure out why. He had been torturing her for so longer, forced her away from a village she liked and most of all, he had been making her suffer seven years of pain and tragedy. No wonder she was targeting him. But what he didn't know was why he really was thinking she was weak. He had actually thought that she was weak enough to be captured so easily tonight. But to think that he actually was thinking there was something wrong with why it was like that. He definitely thought that she was getting to him far more than he wanted.
