Thanos wakes up early next morning and didn't find Nuala in bed. He throws the heavy blanket off himself and sits on the edge of the bed.
He hears a noise from his closet. So he slowly opens it find Nuala curled up in a ball on the floor fast asleep. He sighed and kneeled down to pick her up. Without waking her he opens his door and carried her down many corridors. While walking down a hallway a few soldiers look at the Titan in shock then look away.
The mad Titan walks to Maws room and opens the door to see Maw already up. "What can I help you with my Lord". "She needs rest. Get Obsidian or yourself to find a in empty room nearby and make that her quarters. In the mean time she will sleep here".
"Yes sir". Thanos lays her in Maws bed and leaves to do business.
Few hours later
Nuala is waken to Sanctuary II being borded. She sits up and sees she is in her brother's room. She sets off the bed and opens the door to see soldiers running around, yelling and a bright red lights flashing.
She waves through the running soldiers but is suddenly pinned to a wall by a large alien. Without thinking she hits the Alien and it falls over in shock then scurried away.
Nuala continued her trek to investigate what is happening. She didn't pay attention as the ship is being attacked. All of a sudden the side wall of the ship is ripped open and Nuala with other soldiers fly out into space.
She collides with space debate and falls unconscious.
Nuala opens her eyes and sees she isn't in space or her father's ship anymore. She finds herself on her back surrounded by strange colorful space
wreckage. Looking up, She sees a large metal object falling
from a different wormhole! She rolls out of the way just as the garbage lands in the spot she was in.
A loud noise draws her attention to a ship flying in her direction. The ship opens and a women in weird clothing exits.
"Are you a fighter or are you food?", Asked the women. In her fight or flight response she grabs a near by pipe and holds it up.
"It is a fighter. This will be fun".
From her belt she flicks a small glowing disc which lodges
into her neck.
She holds up a fob device and presses the button - the disc
blinks and Nuala is filled with the pain of a thousands
screaming squirrels. She hits the ground, stunned.
Nuala wakes to find her face smushed up against glass.
She noticed she is lying in a sort of small glass holding cell under the cockpit. She looks up to see the women piloting the ship.
Her eyes lock in on her belt, specifically the fob device
she used to activate the Obedience Disk/debilitate him. "This is Scrapper 142. I need clearance and an audience with the boss. I've got something interesting". Nuala looks forward and sees she is being taken to a large tower.
Nuala wakes to find herself strapped to the chair, suddenly finds himself slowly moving forward. After a beat-
the walls light up and a soothing voice speaks to her.
"Fear not, for you are found. You
are home, and there is no going
back. No one leaves this place.
But what is this place? The answer
in Sakaar".
The tunnel walls show images of Sakaar's place in the Cosmos.
"Surrounded by cosmic gateways,
Sakaar lives on the edge of the
known and unknown.
It is the collection point for all
lost and unloved things. Like you.
But here on Sakaar, you are
significant. You are valuable.
Here, you are loved.
And no one loves you more than the
Grandmaster".
Images of the Grandmaster, in silhouette, arriving on Sakaar.
"He is the original. The first
lost, and the first found. The
creator of Sakaar and the father of
the Contest of Champions.
Where once you were nothing, now
you are something. You are the
property of the Grandmaster.
Congratulations! You will meet the
Grandmaster in five seconds. Prepare yourself".
Images around the tunnel begin speeding up. Chaos, violence,
and confusion. "You are now meeting the Grandmaster!".
Suddenly she is somewhere else, surrounded weirdos and
insanely dressed palace guards.
The grandmaster, a tall mysterious man in golden robes. He is
looking right at Nuala. He doesn't know what to make of her. He's
curious, thrilled, revolted, and titillated.
Nuala looks the the women standing next to him. She looks a bit confused at the site of a child here.
Grandmaster just stares at Nuala.
S142 stands beside Grandmaster. He then speaks," She's wonderful. It is a she?". "It's a she", 142 confirmed.
"Yeah. I love when you come to visits
142, you bring me the best stuff.
What have you brought today? Tell
me".
"A contender", she said with a smirk.
"I need to go closer. I want a
closer look at this. Can you take
us closer? Thank you". His bodyguard pushed his chair forward.
Grandmaster advances on her. Examining Nuala closely and
strangely.
"Pay this lady".
" I'm not for sale. I want to go home to my father, brothers and sisters. I miss them", she said with tears running down her cheeks.
"I'd take 2 million".
"Tell her she's dreaming", scoffed the bodyguard.
"For heaven's sake, transfer the
units". Once the units are transfered she exits without looking back at the crying child.
Grandmaster holds up his own fob device and uses it like a
wand to guide Nuala hover chair, which follows Grandmaster
around as he speaks.
"Here's what I wanna know. Who are
you?".
"Nuala", she said loud enough for them to hear.
"Yeah, come on. I think you're gonna
like this".
Grandmaster moves her chair to another section where a large glass window shows a large arena. "This is the coliseum where we hold the contest of champions. Do you fight?".
Nuala was about to answer but is stopped by the large women. "Sir, it seems she is a child. Maybe 7-10 years old". Grandmaster looks at her in shock," your a child?".
Nuala nods her head. "Oh, god". He points the device at Nuala and pressed a button. The chair drops and powers down then the device in her neck falls off.
"I'm deeply sorry. We don't have children here so I thought you were a small adult". "I want to go home". The Grandmaster sighed," I'm sorry. There isn't much I can do to get you home. But, in the mean time let's have fun". Nuala gets off the chair and follows him and his bodyguard to a room full of strange instruments. Grandmaster joins them, still speaking to Nuala.
Grandmaster begins playing a strange piano-like contraption,
riffing a melody over the existing music.
" Like I said my name is Grandmaster. This is Topaz my bodyguard. I presided over a little event called the Contest of Champions. People come from far and wide to
unwillingly participate in it".
Grandmaster really gets into his playing.
Nuala looks at his bodyguard to looks back at the child. "What are you starting at". Nuala looks away quickly and looks around to see a bowl of fruit near by. Topaz looks at the bowl of fruit that the child is eyeing. The older women walks over to it and picks up a pear then tosses it to Nuala who catches it.
Nuala quickly bites into it as its sticky juice runs down her chin. She continues to eat the strange fruit till its all gone. "Topaz, would you show the child to my kitchen so she may eat. She looks hungry". Topaz was about to protest but Grandmaster insisted he will be fine. She sighed and walked to the kitchen with the child right on her heels.
Topaz turns to the child and lifts her onto a near by stool. "What do you want child". Nuala shrugs. Topaz sighed and looks around to find fresh stew, bread and fruits. She goes over and gets the child a bowl of stew, slice of bread and fruits. Once she sets it down Nuala digs into the meal.
30 minutes later
Topaz and Nuala exit the kitchen with fulls belly's. "Thank you". Topaz looks at the child in shock and just nods. They continue there walk. As they pass a large window Nuala looks out to see it's Dark.
They continue there walk till they make it back to the room full of instruments. Once there Topaz opens the door and in shock at what she sees.
She covers Nualas eyes quickly and slams the door shut. "Okay, time for bed. Let's go". Nuala and Topaz quickly walks away from that horrifying scene that might have scared them both.
They make it to Topaz bedroom. "You can sleep here. Most clean place we have here and no one will disturb you". Topaz then goes to her large closet and pulls out a box she thought she would never touch again.
She pulls out a white rabbit with a missing eye, child clothes and a child sized blanket. Topaz looks at Nuala who looks around the room scared and shaking. "Here, these may fit you".
Topaz points to her bathroom and Nuala changes into the clean clothes. She exits the bathroom with dirty clothes in hand. "Take the blanket and I'll have these washed". Nuala nods and wrapped the blanket around herself. Nuala looks at the rabbit in Her hand but moves to the large chair instead of asking questions. The older woman goes to the light switch and turns the lights low but not dark. Then she exits her bedroom and shuts the door lightly.
