Chapter 9
Slash
The two Kagors held me from behind. My hands were cuffed, also. They had spikes around them so I was bleeding because they were going in my wrists.
"Can you take these off me?" I asked the guard.
They blind folded me also. I kind of guessed I was in their fortress.
"Keeeeooor!" one Kagor said.
"I take that as a no . . ." I said.
I guess they can't speak English. Hopefully we'll get a translator or something.
They soon threw me down somewhere. The Kagors took the cuffs out off of me and out of my wrists. They also took the blind fold off.
I blinked and looked around. A cage. The poles were made of bone, with spikes sticking out of them. I couldn't hold onto them.
I took off my helmet and my suit. I had clothes on underneath.
I looked around some more. The place was mostly made of bones. Strong bones. The walls didn't have spikes on them. They were like you're skull, smooth and long. The roof was the same only with spikes on them. Same thing with the floor, they were like the walls.
There were tons of cages around me. People chained to walls with the cuffs with spikes in their wrists. They hung there, their feet barely touching the ground. They didn't look up, they stayed looking down. The others were either a decaying body or bones. Everyone except me was hanging. The bones had slipped out of the cuffs and to the ground. The decaying bodies were still in the cuffs. Blood marks were all over their arms.
I looked at the two Kagors. At least six foot tall dragon like aliens. They were dark green with dark yellow wings. They had three fingers on their hands and three toes on their feet. Their fingers had huge claws on the end. Their necks were medium sized, with long, pointy ears on their head. Behind their ears were dark yellow spikes. In front of their nose were two strips of fur it looked like which were dark yellow, too. Two fangs hung out of their mouth. They were very sharp. The Kagors had long tails that stood erect behind them. They had a long, dark yellow spike at the end of their tail and two small spikes on the sides.
They had piercing red eyes. One Kagor yawned. It's long, blood red tongue came out of his mouth. Their two rows of teeth were very sharp, if they bit you hard enough you could easily lose the part they're biting. They wore what looked like a utility belt with many pockets and holes around their waists. Things were attached to it.
"Keeooor keeeo Lord Kromazor keeo keeooor!" one said.
I blinked. Lord Kromazor? He must be their leader.
The Kagors walked off, their long toe claws clicking on the bone floor.
Soon another Kagor came. He was taller then the others, his fir strips by his nose were longer. His left ear was pierced four times with silver hoop earrings.
"Welcome to my fortress," he said. Clearly he could speak regular English, but sometimes he used bad grammar. "I see my Kagors put the Spike Cuffs on you. They hurt, no? Well, everyone gets those. You come in our fortress or anywhere near you get hurt."
"You're Lord Kromazor, right?" I asked.
He nodded. "I am the ruler of my people."
"You have the people called The Detonators here, right?" I asked again.
He nodded. "We landed on Earth a while ago. Our Bone Ship can turn invisible, when we walked out these people called The Detonators came over and attacked us. We easily beat them and then we took them back to here. We locked them up in our special cage which they cannot get out very easily. But you can never get out of our cages easily without a key." Lord Kromazor held up his index finger. The finger hole at the end of the key was on it. Lord Kromazor swung it around his finger then put it away on his utility belt.
I figured this guy was kind of dumb so I asked him a stupid question. "Will you tell me where they are?"
"Why do you ask questions that you already know the answer?" Lord Kromazor asked.
Darnit. I guess he wasn't so stupid.
There was a long pause.
"The others are going to get me." I said suddenly.
Lord Kromazor looked at me. "I know. We will be ready."
He then walked off, his toe claws clicking on the floor. Kromazor laughed evilly and it soon faded away as he walked down the long bone halls.
I stared blankly at the wall in front of me. They didn't cuff me to the wall, luckily.
Got an idea. My sword! Perhaps these bones weren't so tough.
I quietly walked to the poles. Took out my sword and swung it with all my power against the spiked poles. Sparks flew everywhere. Not a mark was left on the bone.
"Darn." I said.
I had made a loud noise. Two Kagors came running. Luckily they didn't see me putting my sword away.
"Keeorr?" One asked.
I pointed to a yellow two tailed fox. The Kagors quickly ran over to his cage.
One took his key from his utility belt thing and put it in the lock. He threw open the door with the handle. The handle didn't have any spikes on it. Lucky for him.
The Kagors rushed to the fox. Slammed a fist into his stomach. Then one pointed at him.
"Keeor keo keeeeeeooooor keo!" The Kagor said. Yeah, like the fox understood him.
Wait! He did! The fox nodded, to my surprise.
The Kagors walked down another hall. Once they were gone I looked at the fox.
"Hey . . . Fox dude! You understood them?" I asked.
He looked up, his baggy, green eyes blinking. He slowly nodded.
"I've been here so long I finally started to understand them," the fox wheezed.
"You look horrible . . . Have you gotten any sleep?"
"No . . . With these spikes in my wrists, I can't. The pain keeps me up all night."
"It doesn't look like it . . ." I said.
"I don't show it. The Kagors will come and laugh. Their laughs are horrible. They almost make your ear drums burst." The fox said. "Sorry, my name is Neo."
"Slash," I said. "I'm in a group called The Raiders."
"I've heard of you guys. The Kagors are always talking about you people."
We were in worse luck than I thought.
