Chapter 5: Prisoner
Turner's eyes slowly open to see a blur of dark colours in front of him, unsure of what had brought him here. Turner tries to budge his hands to rub his eyes but feels a resistance, he takes a long blink and then opens his eyes again. Before him were steel, rusted bars as he sat on cold stone and his hands tied by a rope leading through the wall. He looks down to see he has been stripped of his dagger and then scans his surroundings to see grey, stone walls. Turner takes some time to realise he has been imprisoned by Dogs but once he comes to his senses he begins to act. He grabs the rope and scales his back up the wall until his face is in front of the rope and he begins to bite at it, the crusty flakes of the rope making their way into his mouth causes him to pull back and spit them onto the ground now and again but after enough biting the rope gives in and separates, falling off his wrists. Turner was now free to pick himself up and stand, he had to escape this cell, he couldn't let all of his work end here. Turner walks towards the bars and looks to both sides of the long, dark hallway, no guards were in sight so he began his escape plan. Turner scanned the bars, noticing one was especially rusty, he firmly gripped it and managed to see shaking when he shook it, "Here we go" Turner said to himself. He took a few steps back and took a deep breath and then brought in his leg on his side and flexed it out with all his power causing the bar to be knocked out and fly into the corridor. Turner squeezes through the tight pass to make it into the corridor, a cold breeze is sent through the corridor sending shivers down Turner's back. Turner begins to slowly creep through the dark corridor.
After much time passes Turners spots a light glimmering in the distance, slowly approaching, He hides around the turn to another corridor whilst he waits for the supposed guard to pass. Turner takes short peaks around the corner until he discovers what it is, the light is from a lantern being held up by a dog warrior, covered in leather armour with his hand clenched on the grip of his sword, the guard is ready to strike once alerted. Turner waits patiently around the corner, the adrenaline making his heart pump rapidly. The guard only meters away, Turner is beginning to grip against the wall, tightly. The dust from the wall is sucked in by one of his breaths and causing him to cough and the guard notices, "Who's out there? Show yourselves!" The guard shouts. He begins to walk suspiciously when he comes to the corner and looks left and then begins to turn right when Turner grabs hold of the lantern and smashes the glass and fiery flames against the guards face. The guard was blind and Turner trips up the guard and causes him to fall on the ground and then grabs the guard's head and rises it to suddenly smash it against the stone knocking the guard out and causing blood to splatter on the ground. Turner gets up and turns the guard over onto his back and then takes the sheath and dog sword for himself.
Turner reaches a door with creaks of light coming off it, he expects company on the other end so he grips the dog sword tightly and prepares for battle. Once gaining the courage and he kicks the door wide open revealing two guards on a balcony with dog spears. Turner withdraws his sword at a rapid pace and stabs one guard straight through his back and then slashes the blade from the guard's body preparing for the other to attack. The other guard turns to pierce Turner with the spear but Turner acts fast and performs two quick slashes hacking the spear to pieces and reducing distance between the two. Turner kicks in the knee cap of one and drops the dog to his knees where Turner then performs a veracious hack against the dogs neck, decapitating the head clean off. Turner leans on the edge of the balcony to see below a gigantic crowd of dogs and a platform and those standing on it being an executioner and the supreme commander. A figure with a bag over his head is pulled along by two guards onto the platform and then left next to a box. The figure had his hands tied behind his back and the supreme commander approached him and pulled the bag off his head and revealed it to be Hong. Hong vision was blinded by the lights of the flames in the night sky, he blinked several times and shook his head to regain vision, "Well if it isn't Hong?" Says the Supreme Commander in a smug way.
"I've been looking for you for 2 years now and to see you finally brings me such glee!"
The supreme commander turns to the army and begins to speak "Before you is Hong Lee! Wanted for the crimes of treason and the murder of 2 soldiers!"
The supreme commander looks back at Hong "Any last words?" He asks. Hong begins to look around and sees Turner from the corner of his eye and then returns to face the supreme commander.
"Yes I do, but I will be saving them for when I need to" Hong replies.
"Is this how you want to be known? The cat that can't see death when he is being hit over the head with it?" The supreme commander asks.
The army begins to chant "Kill the Cat!" over and over as Hong looks at them.
"Very well then, it's time you paid for your crimes" The supreme commander says.
The supreme commander grabs Hong's head and slams it into the box as the executioner begins to rise his axe in the air, Turner had to act fast. Turner withdraws his sword and then leaps from the balcony, souring through the air and then plummeting down to the enemy below. Turner impacts into the executioner's back with his knee and landing on top of him, Turner rises his sword and stabs it into the executioner's back and then gets up and goes for the supreme commander. The supreme commander counters Turner's sword swing by blocking it with his sword and then Turner knees the supreme commander in the stomach knocking him from the stage and into the crowds below. Turner grabs Hong's shoulder and rises him to his feet where he then slices his handcuffs and then the two begin to flee through a door next to the stage. Hong gains speed running through the corridor and then goes through a door and stops as it is another balcony but from behind Hong, Turner is running with all speed and then tackles Hong from behind and they both go flying from the balcony and plummeting to the ground. Hong screams as Turner is confident and then they both land in a bush which breaks their fall.
