Chapter10
-Rhez-
-Present-
Tobias Granz sat in the back of a bar wit his feet propped up on a table. He whistled to himself and sipped at his whiskey. A girl in a red dress walked into the bar, and every head turned. She slowly made her way towards Granz. The men in the bar watched her as she slunk along. They were hypnotized by her, and she loved it. "You just cannot help yourself with sins of flesh can you?, Elle the Heat." Elle sat down and smiled at Granz. "Of course I can Tobias, but what fun would that be? Look at every man in here, they can't keep their eyes off of me, even the women half the time. So when my sweat heat burns through them, they never see it coming." Granz smiled and shook his head. "Have you heard anything from Freak?" She said. "Unfortunately not my dear, but he is quite the resourceful lad, I have faith that he will come through." Elle grinned and crossed her arms. "I hope that bug got squashed, he gives me the creeps." Granz got up and finished his whiskey. "Well, if he did you're up next… he should be coming by here some time soon if he still lives… be ready Elle." He walked out of the bar without looking back. Elle looked up to see that a few of the lesser morally inclined men had something darker on their minds. "Well hello there boys." She said as she lit a match.
Rhez walked into the small town gratefully, he had been walking for a while. A column of smoke arose up in the air as he passed a smoldering bar that looked like it had been burnt to the ground recently. Rhez got a bad feeling about this place, he didn't see any people anywhere. He walked into the only other bar in town, one that doubled as a brothel. The bartender looked up sheepishly as Rhez walked in. There where a few other people in the bar, all of them sitting quietly and minding their own business. "How old are you kid?" The bartender asked skeptically. "Old enough to know why you can smell this place from the street." Rhez said disrespectfully. "Sounds old enough to me." Someone said from behind him. Rhez turned around to see who he assumed was one of this establishment's more specialized employees. "I'm Elle, and you look lonely." She said as she walked across the room and put a hand on his shoulder. He was entranced by her moves, Rhez hadn't seen anyone like her before. She put a finger over his lips and shushed him. "I'll tell you what, you look like the caring type… how about we have a little fun, I may let you go for free if you make it worth my time." Rhez started to say something, but the bartender spoke up. "Guns first kid. No triggers downstairs, no blades if you have 'em either." Rhez took the rifle off of his back and sat it on the counter. He pulled his revolver out and threw it up there. Rhez reached down into his boot and pulled out a two shot pistol, than took both guns out of his sleeves. He sat the sawn off up onto the bar with the rest of them and than dropped a few grenades there too. The bartender shot a quick look at Elle and she was just as surprised as he was. Rhez sat his knife up on the counter too and shrugged. "That's all." He said. Elle smiled and led him downstairs, Rhez was totally in a trance from her, he hardly noticed that he was unarmed. She led him down to a little room that only had a bed and a nightstand. She handed him a glass and poured something into it. "Have a drink, it'll relax you." She said. Rhez gulped the drink down and sat down on the bed. Seconds later he collapsed back, heavily sedated. He cursed himself, how could he be so damn stupid? The last thing he heard before losing consciousness was Elle's laughter.
Elle picked up her phone when it rang. She was in a dark stone room, somewhere below the bar. "Hello?" She said into the phone. "No, he hasn't come by here yet, but I'm keeping an eye out for him." She lied into the phone as she looked over at the unconscious Rhez who was now chained to the wall. "Understood, no I haven't heard from Freak yet either… ok." She said and hung up the phone. "Now I get to have a little fun." She said to herself as she made her way towards Rhez.
On the other end, Granz turned off the phone. He gritted his teeth as he leaned against a tree and thought to himself. Someone came over the hill that led into the little valley. Granz turned to see who it was, his eyes widening at the sight. "Oh shit, Freak!" He ran over to the man with spider legs coming out of his back that was making his way towards him. His normal legs were gone up to the knees, his body was torn and broken, his clothing hanging off in places, revealing his pale skin. His metal mask was cracked down one edge, and two of the eye holes were broken. His entire left arm was gone, he barely seemed alive as his spider legs stumbled him along.
-Stran-
"Stran get out here right away we have a problem it's the freak his hurt badly get out here right away." "I'll be right out." Stran says while setting down the communicator. "I'll be right back Tia its freak he's hurt badly." Stran says as he runs out of the room sliding on his white shirt and black trench. "What happened what happened to him." Stran screams as he runs out to Freak and Granz. "O HOLY SHIT what happened to him." Stran comes to sliding stop at the sight of one of his men so badly tattered and torn.
"Freak.. Freak can you here me freak." "Master…I… I…he wa…ss to fa…fa…fast." Mumbles and shrieks Freak while blood runs down from underneath his mask. "WHO who was to fast who did this to you." Stran says while holding the atrocity that was left of a man. "It… it was Rh." The man was cut off by a jolt of electricity running over his whole body. Stran still holding onto Freak not even acknowledging the fact that he was having hundreds of thousands of volts running threw his body. Granz's eyes widen behind his glasses in amazement at the resilients of Stran. "What whats happing to him." "It must be his pack malfunctioning." Replies Granz. Stran turns Freaks body over and ripps off his pack and robotic spider leg. The electricity stops and freaks body stops convulsing Stran lets go of him and rises to his feet with smoke rolling off his body. "Is he going to be ok." Granz reach's down and feels his neck pulling his finger away right away "Got damn hes hot he looks at his finger as they blister up. A couple seconds later Granz try's again. "Its faint but there's a pulse get him inside quick." Stran picks Freak up and carry's him back into the compound. "KNIVES!!!!! Stran screams. Knives walks into the room where Stran had taken him and looks at Freaks body laying on the table. "Yes Stran." "What do you mean yes look help him he's going to die." "And." Says knives as he stairs into Stran's eyes. "AND that's all you have to say AND…and save him I don't want him to die save him Knives." "Why hes weak what ever he was doing he lost remember some times you have to kill the spider to save the butterfly apparently the butterfly got away again. Stran's eyes widen and pupils dilate Stran can feel the back of his brain pulse as a memory fights to reacquire why why dose this seem familiar Stran thinks to him self while his eyes shoot from side to side sweat starts rolling from his brow "O fine then have it your way Stran but not again he is after all just human. A hole in the wall opens up and Knives grabs Freak walking into the room Granz follows "It will be fine Stran will make him better then before you'll see a couple of days and he'll be good as new." Granz turns back around and follows Knives threw the hole as it close's. Stran punch's down on the table shattering it and the ground below.
"Dose he know." "No master I shocked Freak before he could say anything sir." "Good I didn't come this far to have it fucked up now. Knives looks back down at Freak and begins cutting and sewing.
Stran rampage's down threw the hall ways till he gets to his room kicks the door off the hinge's and reach's for the to giant pistol's on his wall. "Whats wrong my Angel." Tia says to Stran as if she didn't know. "Some one almost killed Freak and I'm gonna find him and do to him what I did to the moon. That fucker is going to pay I'll follows Freaks trail back to the spot where it happened. "Now Stran calm down there's no need to go blowing up the world Freak well be fine Knives will make him better. Don't even get me started on Knives he wanted to let him die." "He's just trying to make you stronger Stran Knives would never let one of us die." "I suppose your right Tia." "So leave the guns here and just go kill him with your bare hands or better yet beat him unconscious and bring him back here and we'll all have a little fun ok baby. Stran pull's his hands away from the guns walks over to the bed and kiss's Tia. "I'll be back soon this wont take long." "Be safe my Angel." Stran runs down the hall and out of the ship/compound over to the tree he looks down and sees freaks blood stained trail and becomes even more enraged and begins running a fast as he can down the path. "He's gone master he went after Rhez." "Did he take the guns." Asks Knives on the other end. "No I talked him out of it with any luck he'll be bring back Rhez if he doesn't kill him." "I don't want Rhez dead if he dies I'll kill all of you send the twins with him and tell them not to be seen then call Elle and warn her about the situation." "Yes master as you wish." Tia push's a few buttons on her phone and calls Elle "Hello" some one answers on the other line. "Elle it's Tia my Angel is on his way you know what to do." "Aw and I was getting ready to have some fun well you don't have much time so make it quick." Tia hangs up the phone and get dressed. "Azreial Gabriel" The twins look up at Tia from the ground where they had been laying after there last round of training. "Follow Stran make sure he dose not kill Rhez if Rhez dies then so do you." "Yes maim." The twins answer in unison and run threw the door that Tia had entered threw. "O and make sure your not seen." She yells down the hall at the as they turn the corner.
