This Is The End
Chapter Four: It Never Ends
You'd THINK with all the homework I have, I wouldn't be spending time on my fanfics. But I'm a slave to my passion. Soo....by much requesting and protesting, heeere's chapter four-the reason my story gets the rating it does.
Cybersix tried to shut out the painful buzzing in her ears, but it was still there, even while she curled up to protect herself. She felt a tingle in her left arm and gasped in pain as the green fire quickly spread throughout her entire body. Not a square millimeter of her form was spared the excruciating pain that came along with sustenance starvation.
Through a hazy mist, she was able to see and hear Data 7, whining at the back of his prison. What are they doing to him...not this...
Then, as suddenly as it had come, it was gone. She had somehow fallen against the back of the glass tube, her head aching like never before. The mist at her peripheral vision faded slightly as her captors sent sustenance back into her body.
Stop playing games with me! Cybersix yelled.
Games? Who said anything about games, my dear girl?
I'm not your anything anymore!
I'm deadly serious, continued the voice behind the white glare of lights, and don't you worry, Cybersix, in TIME you'll learn to subject to the torture.
she voiced, feeling for the first time a prickle of fear.
And the buzzing of the machines began again.
Lucas could see almost nothing in his cage. Voices, he could hear, to be sure. He recognized two of the voices-of course, Cybersix and Data 7. But there were two he could not place, try as he might. One, as cold and oily as it was possible to be; the other high pitched, evil, and childish. Were these the people Cybersix had needed to talk to so badly? What price would she have to pay to survive?
He winced as a scream cut through the sterilized air. Whoever they are, they're going to pay. If I ever get out of this...I'll make THEM scream. Hang in there, Cybersix.
Hang in there.
A mutant guard looked at him through the bars, confused.
Lucas looked back, slightly shocked. The very meek beginnings of a plan weaved through his mind... I said, hang onto those bars. Could you?
The Fixed Idea seemed to be considering it (not the brightest guys in the world, are they?).
Come on, just stick your whole self right into the bars.
The brainless mutant stood up and grabbed the bars-immediately regretting it as blue electricity shot through its genetically scrambled body. It sank to the floor, spent, leaving the keys to the cage within Lucas' firm grasp.
All right! Hang in there, Cybersix, I'm on my way.
Von Reichter turned to look at his clone in disgust. WHAT did you just ask me?
Oh, please, Father, you've never let me before!
There's a good reason for that, José.
Aw come on, she's in a PERFECT position.
You can't even handle a troop of Fixed Ideas. What makes you think you'll hold her still long enough?
She's weakened, Father, I KNOW I could.
I said no, José. The mad scientist shook his head.
he roared. The pint-sized clone trembled, and, glaring sullenly, retreated to a chair, sulking.
Sometimes...I wonder just how....MY clone could ever be so...insanely...perverted.
Data 7 roared at the high pitched noise ringing in his head. It reverberated throughout his entire being, sensitive panther ears hurting immensely. He didn't know how much more he could take, and frankly, he didn't want to know. Maybe if he could somehow reach his sister...
Sis? Cybersix? Oh PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE look at me....
She didn't hear his mind plea, and instead of continuing on, Data 7 slumped threw himself against the glass prison multiple times, begging something to stop the ringing....
Someone? Anyone?
Stop....it.... Data 7 sank to the floor, exhausted and tired of fighting.
Cybersix glanced at her brother's cell and let out a frustrated yell. Let him go!
Your brother's learned what you have NOT, Cybersix. Subject and survive-the law I once taught you all to live by.
You taught me nothing, you...you MONSTER!
Von Reichter's evil laugh filled her to capacity, causing a shiver to run through her, followed by another nerve-wracking wave of green lightning. Monster? My dear, if I am a monster, what, then, does that make YOU?
I...am NOT...like you. Cybersix could barely gasp out her defiant words as she half-heartedly wiped blood from her lip.
No, of course not. You're the strongest being on Earth. You're invincible. The same laugh ran through her again.
And for the first time in her life, Cybersix laid her head in her hands and cried.
