Jaune wakes up to the sound of talking. He slowly lifts his head and looks around. He realizes that he is in the same prison. He also realizes his mouth has the feint taste of copper. He looks around to see that not only was Brawnz in the room, but so was Roy, May, Dew and Gwen. He saw Roy talking with May , Gwen and Dew were in the cornor chatting, and Brawnz looking and guarding the exit. Jaune looks over to his right to see four dead bodies. Two of which were because of him. That was when he realized what the taste in his mouth was. He backs away from the corpses, which gains the attention of Brawnz.
"Jaune!" The brown skinned student goes over to his friend and kneels down in front of him. He looks at Jaune's eyes and sees fear and guilt in them. He slowly puts his hand on Jaune's shoulder. Jaune looked over to Brawnz. "Are you feeling okay?"
"I… No…" Jaune said. "I can't believe I…"
"Hey, I'm here for you man." Brawnz gave a reassuring squeeze on his shoulder. Jaune nodded his head. The others noticed Jaune's state as well. They thought it better to let Brawnz talk to Jaune, as he was the closest out of all of them. He would probably be able to calm him down the easiest.
As Brawnz talked with Jaune, May and Roy continued talking with each other. "Poor guy," Roy said.
"Roy, why are you feeling sympathy for him?" May asked.
"The guy just killed the first time, how can I not sympathize with him?"
"How about the fact that if he didn't get injured, we would be at Shade by now, instead of nearly becoming sex slaves!" Dew and Gwen heard May. While Gwen thought she had a point, Dew had a different opinion. She walked over to May and joined in on the conversation.
"Why do you want blame him for everything that goes wrong?" Dew asked. May just shrugged.
"Hey, Headmistress Nyx said he was the leader, so technically everything is his fault." Dew and Roy just stared her down and she grumbled. "Am I the only one that hasn't forgot that this guy was a fake. Not to mention everything that happens, won't affect us at all. It's his initiation, but why did we have to get dragged along?"
While Dew and Roy didn't view it like that, May's word seemed to have affected the shy black haired girl in the corner. She looked over to the blonde who seemed to calmed down a lot from Brawnz words. She then notices Brawnz helping him up. Jaune walks into the middle of the room next to the three other students.
"All right," Jaune said. "I've calmed down a bit so now I can ask, what exactly is our plan?"
"Why do you care?" Gwen said. Jaune looked over to Gwen, a questioned look on his face. "May is right, why do you care what happens to us? This is your initiation."
"This isn't about my initiation!" Jaune said in a raised voice. "This is about getting us out of here alive. At this point I don't even care if I get accepted. I want all of us to get out of here first." He points at May. "So if you want to keep blaming me for everything, fine. But how about we wait until all of us are safe?" When no one said anything Jaune got back on track. "So, what's the plan?"
"Nolan gets Nebula and Octavia and we get the hell out of here," May said with a smug grin. While she thought it was the best plan ever, Jaune asked a couple of questions.
"Does he know where they are?"
"No, but he'll find them."
"What if they're guarded?"
"He'll trick the bandits."
"Okay, do we have an escape vehicle?"
"We'll get one."
"Do we know where to get one?"
"Again, we'll find one."
Jaune was getting very annoyed at this point. The "plan" was basically improvising everything, which can't even be considered a plan half the time. However, he then realized something. Three prisoners just escaped from their cells.
"Did you guys place a decoy or something so people won't be suspicious that three prisoners escaped?"
May raises an eyebrow. "What's that got to do with anything?"
"Because the minute the bandits find out you girls escaped, the camp goes into an alert, making escaping ten times harder."
May opened her mouth to protest but when she thought about it made sense. However she wouldn't admit defeat, especially not to Jaune. "I… well we… um…"
Jaune just sighed. He looked over to the deceased bandits that everyone killed. "Hey guys," He said as he turned to the group. "I have an idea, but I don't think you girls are going to like it."
"What is it?" Dew said.
"You three are going to be our prisoners."
With Nolan:
Nolan was looking everywhere for Nebula and Octavia. Unfortunately his search proved effortless. The bandit camp was big, almost the size of a regular town. They had an armory, shacks for the bandits to live in, even a bar. But Nolan couldn't find the girls anywhere. He would check the shacks but most of them were locked up and he knew bandits get very protective of their property. So he decided to go to the best place to pick up info.
Nolan entered the bar and noticed a bunch of either drunk or soon to be drunk heathens messing around, despite it only being the middle of the day. Nolan takes a seat at the actual bar. The bartender goes over to him and Nolan gets a good look at him.
He has a buzz cut and brown eyes. He also has tattoos of skulls over his right arm. He wore a black t-shirt and had black jeans on as well. He spoke in a voice that sounded as if he smoked his whole life. "You look new," he said.
"I'm an old friend of Jamison's, thought I'd come for the celebration," Nolan lied.
"How'd you know about it?"
"Jamison let me know. I was heading around here anyway so thought I'd pop in."
"You look a little young to be one of Jamison's friends."
"Doesn't matter, I've helped conduct raids before."
The bartender stared down Nolan and Nolan stared right back, with just as much intensity. Nolan showed no weakness. The bartender shrugs. "Eh, I'm too lazy to find out if you're telling the truth. What do you want?"
"What do you got?"
"Well anything from the camps we raid, sometimes some of us buy real shit in the town next to Shade. But I'll get you an old fashion."
"Sounds good to me."
As the bartender made Nolan's cocktail, he listened in on some of the antics of the other bandits. He knew from experience that some of the bandits' antics can be hilarious since they usually act however they want without getting kicked out.
"I'm not as drunk as you!" one bandit said.
"Nah man, you're drunker than me! The look on your face proves it."
"I can still tell time, can you?!"
"Of course I can!" the one bandit turned to a clock on the wall. "I'm not as think as you drunk I am!" the two bandit's laugh like hyenas at the realization of what the one did.
Nolan looks at another group of bandits who were staring each other. "I'm telling you, mine is bigger."
"Mate mine is so much bigger than yours."
"You want to prove it?!"
"Yeah! I killed eight Picarro bastards that day! What about you huh?"
"Ha! I killed eleven!"
Nolan rolled his eyes at the antics. The bartender gave him his drink and Nolan took it. He raised the glass. "Cheers." He took a sip of the drink and swallowed it. The drink didn't taste like piss water which was a surprise for Nolan. As he set down his drink for a little bit he began questioning. "So, what exactly is the celebration?"
The bartender raised an eyebrow. "I thought you said Junkrat invited you?"
Nolan shrugged. "He did but he didn't exactly give me details just something I would definitely want to see."
The bartender believed his lie. "Yeah sounds like him. Anyway, we captured some Shade students. While some of our girls are fucking the boys, we're giving the girls special treatment?"
"Why not just have the girls stripped and have everyone enjoy it right away?" Nolan felt sick to his stomach to talk about his friends as if they were whores. But he needed to keep up appearances. He just hated how easy it is for him to do this.
"Well you see once Eric saw the girls, he decided to see what they're like and have them do a very special thing for everyone to enjoy this evening."
"Eric?"
"Junkrat's third in command behind Roadhog. He's usually in charge of the town here."
"Still, I wish we didn't have to wait."
"Eh I couldn't care less. But I know most of the guys here get frustrated so I bet they can feel your pain."
Nolan nodded and took another sip of his drink. So if he wanted to get to Nebula and Octavia he would have to get on Eric's good side and fast. He slams his drink and shakes his head. He reaches in his pocket and tosses a few lien on the bar. Luckily the guard a few bills on him otherwise it would've been awkward.
Nolan may be buzzed but he knew better than to get drunk. As he walked out of the bar and looked around. He didn't ask where Eric lived as he didn't want to push his luck. Asking too many questions could get him killed. However, something caught his eyes.
It was three bandits taking May, Dew, and Gwen somewhere with blindfolds somewhere. What got his attention was that three of them weren't bandits: it was Roy, Brawnz and Jaune in bandit outfits. Jaune had Dew, Roy had Gwen, and Brawnz had May. As the three of them each grabbed onto the girls he could hear the whoops and hollers of other bandits.
"Hey, those the girls we captured?"
"Wait until those cloaks are off! I'm gonna show y'all a good time!"
"What Eric'll put you through is nothing compared to what I'm going to do!"
The three of them joked and laughed with the other bandits, but Nolan knew they had something up their sleeves. Luckily Jaune saw Nolan and motioned him to come over. Nolan did and they continued to walk.
"Jaune?" Nolan said in a tiny whisper. "What the fuck is going on?"
"Blondie here had an idea," Dew said. Jaune tightened the grip to keep up appearances in case any of the other bandits heard her.
"What's the plan?"
"Apparently Eric wanted these three right away instead of doing one on ones," Jaune said. "He might be getting bored. Either way, if Octavia and Nebula are with him, then all of the girls will be together and it'll be easier to break them out."
"How do you know about Eric?"
Jaune points his head over to Roy. "Roy told me about the conversation between the two bandits. Look I know it's insane but this is our only chance to escape without raising suspicion until the last minute."
Nolan thought about it but he knew Jaune was right. Having the girls escape would've raised the alarm. At least this will keep them hidden a little while longer. Unless the bodies were found.
"Did you hide the bodies?"
"No, we couldn't risk getting caught. Besides we're still on a small timeframe, even if we did hide them the bandits will eventually find out we escaped. We as in the guys."
While it wasn't good news, not everything could be all sunshine and lollipops. They continue walking across the bandit camp to where Eric was living. Jaune and the others got directions from one of the bandits that was sent to fetch the girls. Luckily they were able to trick them into thinking they were idiots.
They reached the door of a shack and heard the base of music going on inside. Roy, whilst keeping a hand on Gwen, pounded on the door. "Enter!" A voice said.
Roy opens the door and everyone enters one at a time to see a bandit sitting in a chair watching Octavia pole dance. She was wearing a skimpy outfit that showed off her ass and breasts. It was a blue bikini top that barely covered anything with a matching bottom. However the bottom was covered by a thin see through silk skirt. She also had a little black garter on her right thigh. She also wore high heels, something that Octavia despised. A boom box was in a corner playing loudly.
The bandit looks over to the students and grins widely. "So these are the rest of them huh?" he said. He starts eyeing the girls with a very lecherous stare. While this made the guys uncomfortable, they knew better than to show signs of it. At least three of them did. Jaune subconsciously tensed up and tightened his grip around Dew's arm. While it was a small movement, it didn't go unnoticed by Eric.
"What's your problem?" He pointed to Jaune.
"Uhh…" was all that came from Jaune's mouth. Luckily for him a saving grace was coming. His vision started turning red again and he felt a headache coming on. He grips his forehead and begins rubbing it slightly. He let go of Dew and drops to his hands and knees. All of a sudden a bunch of text showed up in his eyes.
"Scanning area: please hold."
Dew pretended to try and run away but Nolan grabbed her and slammed her against the wall. "Where the fuck do you think you're going bitch?" Nolan yelled in her face. He then turns to Jaune. "Hey man, you feeling all right?"
"Just feeling a little sick," Jaune said. Then his vision turned a shade of purple. The text then changes.
"Scanning for creatures with Aura."
Jaune looks up and notices a yellowish glow coming from in front of him. He stands up and looks at his friends and realize all of them are glowing a weird color. He then turns to Octavia, who was still dancing for some weird reason, and she was glowing slightly too. He noticed that there seemed to be a trail of a different colored glow coming from her head over to Eric, who also had the same color glow as the trail.
Eric stood up and walked over to Jaune. "What are you high or something?" he asked the blonde.
"Uhh… I think I might be."
Eric sighed. "All right, you." He pointed at Nolan. "Give me her and help this guy to his feet. Get him to his shack or get him more fucked up I don't care." Nolan hands Eric Dew and grips her ten times tighter than Jaune or Nolan did, causing her to groan a little. As Nolan held up Jaune, Eric felt her up a little and chuckles. "Not bad. You two," he said as he pointed to Roy and Brawnz. "Take them and follow me."
"Jaune what's wrong?" Nolan whispered. Jaune looked around to see what was going on.
"Oh yeah and you," Eric said pointing to Octavia. Jaune noticed the glow from Eric shot from his finger and at Octavia. "Stop dancing and follow me."
Octavia did as she was told and nodded. "Yes master," she said. This surprised everyone in the room, sans Eric. However everyone did as they were told and split up again.
With Nolan and Jaune:
Nolan helped Jaune by having him rest against his shoulder as they walked out of the shack. They kept walking until they made sure no one was nearby and began talking. "What the fuck Jaune?!" Nolan said in a harsh whisper. "You almost blew our cover!" Jaune's sight returned to normal and he didn't feal as weak anymore.
"Nolan, are you telling me the room didn't change color for you guys?" Jaune said.
"No, why?"
"Something's weird with me, I keep seeing the room change colors and text shows up." Nolan looked around to be extra sure no one would be suspicious.
"Okay look, you obviously have something planned, would you mind telling me about it?" Jaune nodded. "You need help? You looked a little sickly."
"No I'm fine. Whatever it was it's gone now."
"Right, well whatever it was it can wait. Right now I need to know your plan."
"Right right. Okay so here's the thing. We have a small time frame before someone checks up on the guy's cell. Once they find the bodies this camp is most likely to go on alert. It'll make escaping ten times harder. So first thing's first we had to make it seem like the girls are still under control. And since Eric called for all of them they'll all be put in the same area for us to save them, assuming this huge celebration involves them."
"What if they're separated?"
"Well Brawnz and Roy are trying to get in good with Eric to make sure they always know where the girls are. I'm sure they'll be able to stay close to him. Meanwhile, you and I are going to get two things."
"What are they?"
"First thing is keys. We need to find an escape vehicle and be sure it works and can get us out of here. We might need two in case all of us don't fit in one. The other thing is our weapons. The bandit girl you interrogated said they would be in the armory right?" Nolan nodded. "Well we need to get into the armory and find our weapons. Once we do that, we meet up with Brawnz and Roy, get the girls and get out of dodge."
"What about our clothes?"
"We'll have to run back to the cells and get them since we didn't have a place to put them, so they're still in the prison."
"Didn't really think that through huh?"
"We're on a timer here Nolan, we didn't have time to perfect everything." Nolan sighed. This wouldn't be easy. It was a miracle that no one recognized them yet, but then again only Junkrat and Roadhog and that other bandit were probably the only ones who saw them.
"All right, these guys have to have a garage around here somewhere. Let's do this." Jaune nodded and they both continue on their jobs.
With Roy, Brawnz, and the girls:
Eric unlocked a door to what looked like a fitting room. Eric enters the room. He then shoves Dew to the ground and motions the others to enter. He hands Roy a gun. "Keep them under control, I have to put the red head with her friend." Roy nodded his head while keeping a grip on Gwen. "Let's go," Eric said to Octavia.
"Yes sir," Octavia said in a sexual way. The two exit the room and close the door behind them. Roy and Brawnz let go of Gwen and May, who remove the blindfolds. The girls help Dew to her feet and everyone looks at each other.
"What the hell is wrong with Oct?" Dew asked.
"She wouldn't submit that easily," Gwen stated.
"She has to be drugged or something," Roy said. "You guys see the way she looked at him. It was with lust. There is no way Octavia would feel lust for a bandit right?" Gwen and Dew shake their head. "Okay so we know they're controlling Octavia somehow but where's Nebula?"
"That's your guy's job for his 'master plan'" May said with quotes. "We're just bait."
"Suck it up," Brawnz said, getting annoyed with his teammate's behavior. "Right now just to do what he says while we try to convince him to tell us what the plan are for tonight, maybe even find Nebula."
All of them heard footsteps approaching and Roy held the gun up to them while Brawnz pretended to be guarding the door. The door opens to reveal Eric with a few Syringes in his hands.
"What's with the needles boss?" Brawnz asked.
"Well, you idiots obviously didn't drug the girls so now I have to," He said. "Let's see… eyepatch is up first."
"Fuck you!" May said, getting in a combat stance. However Brawnz grabs her arm and slams her to the wall. Eric then sticks the needle in her neck and injects her. the light from May's eyes seem to dull a little bit. Brawnz lets go of her and she falls to the ground.
"You want to make it hard on me?" Eric said turning to Gwen and Dew. "Cause if so I'll have him open fire." He pointed his head to Roy, who slid the slid the gun slide and pointed it at the girls. The two of them backed up a little bit. "Good." Eric smiled. "Black hair is next."
Brawnz nodded and approached Gwen. He grabs her and drags her over to Eric, who injects her with another needle. She looks a little weary and drops to the floor too. The last one was Dew, which went the same way as Gwen did. Once all of the girls were drugged, Eric turned to Brawnz and Roy. "By the way, did you really think I wouldn't recognize you?"
"What do you mean?" Brawnz said.
"I'm third in command, you really think Junkrat wouldn't show me what our prisoners looked like?" Brawnz and Roy go wide eyed. Roy aims the gun at Eric who seems unfazed by it. "Shoot me, and you alarm the entire camp." Brawnz and Roy scowl at Eric, who had a smug grin on his face. Brawnz cracks his knuckles.
"Forget this I'll just beat you to death," Brawnz said.
"I don't think those two would like that," Eric said pointing to the door behind them.
"Roy, check to see if he's fucking with us."
Roy did as he said and saw that he wasn't bluffing. "Nebula, Octavia?"
Brawnz turns around to see that Roy was telling the truth. However their eyes looked weird and dull, and they were wearing outfits to make it look as if they were strippers. Octavia was still the same but Nebula's was a little different. She was wearing a black lowcut shirt that stopped below her breasts, almost as if it was a sports bra, and wore a purple bikini bottom. she was also wearing thigh high translucent socks with black heels. As the two were distracted by their friends, Eric used this opportunity to grab Brawnz and choke him out.
"Brawnz!" Roy said he pointed the gun at Eric but the bandit ordered a command.
"Drug him!"
Roy felt arms go around him and put him in a hold. He looks up to realize that Nebula had put him in a hold and that Octavia had a needle. "Girls what are you doing?!"
They don't respond and continue drugging him.
"What the hell did you do?" Brawnz choked out.
"Nothing, they just know what it's like to be with me. Isn't that right girls?"
"Yes master," They said in unison. Brawnz tries to elbow Eric and succeeds. However Nebula pounced on him and tackled him. She raised a fist and then punched him in the face and Octavia slowly moved forward to stick another needle in Brawnz. Nebula was going to punch Brawnz again but he caught her fist.
"Nebula it's me! Snap out of it!" Nebula growled at him and got off him. He slowly crawled away only to crawl into Eric who curb stomped him. Brawnz covers his face and groans in pain. That was until he felt a prick in the side of his neck.
His vision goes blurry and darker by each passing second. He hears Eric mumbling something but he can't quite make out what he is saying. And soon Brawnz passes out.
Eric looks at the bodies around him and sighs. "What a mess," he says. He points at Nebula and Octavia. "You two, get the girls changed up, I'll deal with these idiots."
"Yes sir," They said. As Nebula and Octavia walked past Eric he slapped their asses and then went to work. He picked up Brawnz and Roy by their collar and began dragging them.
To be continued.
