Chapter 8- Undercover:
Third Person:
"Dr. Irving," a scientist informed, "the creatures have been caught."
"Excellent," she smiled, "Ringleader, care to join me to see the new... recruits?"
"I'd be delighted to, " Ringleader smirked evilly.
With that, the scientist lead Dr. Irving and Ringleader through the facility towards two cages that showed their newest monsters.
"I'm pleased that we were able to recapture that one," Dr. Irving mused as she looked at the two cages.
Moriko, in the end, wasn't in a cage as Kato went against it since Moriko could get her wings clipped again. Alex, despite the warning of her wings probably getting clipped, still went through with the plan.
Alex sat in a large cell, her now short hair covered her eyes slightly as she snarled. Kato was in the nearby cage in Katojns form- her dark red fur covering her entire body and he tail swishing back and forth as she hissed.
"Hmmm," Ringleader said as she looked at Alex, "Interesting..."
Alex tensed in fear- did Ringleader possibly recognize her? No, she can't... When Ringleader said no more, Alex relaxed ever so slightly. Kato growledas Dr. Irving looked her over,
"Its still in good condition- both of them are. Good, Ringleader, what do you propose to put them in first?"
"Send the overgrown cat," she said pointed to Kato, "to the experimentation room. Electrocution or possibly vivisection might be best. It's better to ease into the worse tortures... Send the other one to... The Box. It can be the first of many here to try it out."
Ringleader had a nasty smile on her face as Alex's eyes widened in horror. Kato was slightly more relaxed that she would be going through an easier torture, but she still feared for Alex.
Guys, anytime soon for you to come here might be nice, Kato thought.
We still need a bit more time, Axel pitched in and Kato tensed.
Well shit.
"This isn't right," Power Man growled, "We need to get in there now."
"Agreed," Iron Fist said as he clenched his fists, "We shouldn't let them suffer for the cause of finding out more about the Facility."
"They knew what they were getting into," Axel pointed out, even if he didn't let it himself, "And we could've always thought of another plan if they weren't entirely up for it... Still, we just need to wait a little bit longer."
"For what," Moriko screeched, "Ane is in there!"
"And so is my sister," Axel snapped, "but we have to figure out where the central control room in the Facility is so we can take it down- no power equals weaker security... Plus we still have to figure out how to bust in. Now be quiet."
The team was silenced and then knew that Axel was right- still, it was unsettling as screams were heard on the coms.
Kato screamed and hissed as the scalpel cut into her stomach. Her hands were secured above her head by specially made metallic restraints and her feet were in similar restraints. She was laid down flat on her back on the 'operation' table.
"We should give her sedatives," one of the scientists explained.
"No, you heard Dr. Irving. It needs to learn to not escape again."
Kato managed to stifle her screams as they continued to cut into her. It wasn't the first thing that they did- no, they made sure to beat her first. Her body was already marred with scarps, cuts, and bruises from electrified whips, classic whips, and other means. It was payback for escaping and now as the continued to vivisect her, they continued to 'teach' her not to escape by no using the numbing.
"Heart is functional," one of the scientists explained and her breathing became labored, "beating rather fast... Stronger than a human heart. Lungs are larger than a normal humans- made for running I suppose... Close her up, she's not going to last much longer in this state."
Kato didn't have the strength to scream as they stitched up all the incisions. It wasn't the worse thing that they did, but it still hurt... And she knew there was more to come before the team would 'rescue' them so that they can take down the facility.
Taking down the facility was the only thought that kept her going... That, and the thought of being with Luke.
Alex fought the entire way to the Box. It was the only thing she was afraid of, and she loathed it, and Ringleader, with a passion.
Since she only had the one arm, they couldn't exactly put her in cuffs, but they did manage to get her wings pinned to her back. She slashed at one guard, cutting his protective suit to pieces. Much to her displeasure, she let the other guard use an electrical whip on her. She cried out on pain, and sent herself to her room. she needed to make it believable.
Ringleader walked in front of her casually, stopping just a couple inches from her face. Ringleader lulled her foot back and kicked Alex in the face, sending her flying back a couple of feet away.
She didn't bother getting back up, so they dragged her to the Box. She felt ashamed for not fighting back as she was strapped to the metal table. Ringleader was the last one to leave, and before she encased Alex in the darkness, she turned to her.
"Sweet nightmares, 23."
Alex's eyes widened in shock as the door slammed shut, draining all of her senses in a split second.
Guys, she thought to the others, They have the Box.
Axel's eyes widened as be got Alex's message. It sounded like she was in pain, but he knew she was just scared out of her mind. He couldn't blame her. The Box was their own personal hell. Axel grit his teeth, his grip tightening.
"Damn it!"
Moriko put a hand on his shoulder to calm his seething rage.
"If you guys survived it once, you can survive it again. She's strong, I can tell."
He nodded, calming down slightly. She was okay. He had to believe she was okay. Luke had to believe the same thing with Kato- though her com link was mostly filled with curses and screams. For the most part, she managed to keep her screams from going through, but he knew that she was still screaming even if it was mostly silent.
Fucking hell, bloody bleeding hell, motherfucking shit, Kato hissed as the electric whip hit her sides again and caused her to cry out.
She took a few deep breaths to calm herself as they pushed her back into her cage. Her stomach was marred with the stitches from the vivisection. Her fur was bloodied and limp, not revealing the bruises against her skin. Cuts covered her whole body and her breathing became a bit shallow.
She looked over to the other cage and spotted Alex hunched over with her hands over her ears, almost to the point of screaming, and she was shaking uncontrollably. Kato could only hope that they weren't there for much longer.
Fucking hell, Kato's com link came through, bloody bleeding hell, motherfucking, shit...
Moriko smirked- that was defiantly Kato, the same kitty that tended to say every curse in the book if she was under pressure, pain, or down-right pissed. Still, her stomach was unsettled since Kato was going through pain- but like she told Axel- she survived it once, she can do it again...
At least Moriko hoped so...
