Chapter 12
Written by: Murdock & RazorsLove

Weeks seemed to pass slowly at Dark Kat's compound, howls and roars of pain echoed though the empty halls; though out the days.

Aliee and Cody had their arms tied around two steel girders, they had escaped their cell with in the month of being tortured; now they were kept in a large room where twelve guards, fourteen ninjas and four of the pink creatures watched them.

Guns always pointed at them, if they moved they were raised quickly to shoot them both down if they broke the chains that bound their arms together.

They where turned facing the large, steel bar holding them both in place; their stomachs pressed up against it.

Aliee's massive head rested on Cody's shoulder, and Cody's rested on hers; they slept standing up.

Large patches of fur were missing from their backs, they had been beaten horribly by Dark Kat and a few others that Dark Kat insisted on the continuation of their mass punishment.

Cody's tail lay down against the back of his thighs, as he took a deep ragged breath.

He opened one of his yellow eyes and looked at the side of the black females neck, he knew she was probably starving and weak just as he was.

Neither of them had been fed since the start of the torture nearly a month ago, water was only provided at certain times; food was scarce for them.

Dying of Dehydration wasn't an option in Dark Kat's book, dying of starvation was another; it was slow and their bodies would eat away at themselves.

Cody rumbled lowly to her, only to get no response.

He lifted his head and brought it around to the other side of the girder, her eyes were closed; her face was extremely dirty and covered with blood like his was.

Cody let out another low rumble, Aliee's eyes opened and looked at the blond war kat looking down at her; his eyes narrowed on her.

"Are you going to be able to make it?" He questioned her with his thoughts.

She looked up at him with her dull emerald green eyes.

"Maybe." she responded weakly.

Cody's ears flattened and instantly looked to the opening door on the other side of the room, a small tom walked though the door with a small trey of food.

He looked back at his friend.

"Don't worry Aliee, looks like we're going to be fed." Cody communicated to her.

She looked up at her blond friend as he looked off to the tom carrying the trey to them, her body was going to give out on her soon if she didn't eat.

The tom came up to them and hand feed them both of them, Aliee ate more slowly that Cody as he nearly swallowed the piece of meat that he held in his mouth.

Her jaw hurt from chewing on the tough meat, it had a large bone sitting in the middle of it; it was hard to eat without the use of her paws.

-

Cody watched her struggle to eat her food, his ears flattened once more as he set his big head on her shoulder again.

The crunching of the bone filled his ears quickly as she finally consumed the whole thing.

He huffed lowly to himself as his eyes closed to fall asleep again.

His friends ears perked as she picked up the low sigh coming from him.

"Cody?" she said weakly.

One of Cody's eyes looked at the side of her black neck again.

"Yes my friend?" he replied.

"Do you think we'll ever get out of here?" she questioned weakly again.

Cody instantly lifted his blond head and looked down at her quietly, a sad frown crossed his face; he shrugged his broad shoulders.

"I don't know Aliee, it seems like we're going to be here a long time." Cody answered sadly.

A sense of doubt and loneliness washed though both of themselves.

"I'm sorry my friend, I wasn't able to protect you from getting hurt." Cody added weakly.

Aliee's ears flattened, and a low whine erupted from her quietly.

A new familiar scent filled the room, Cody growled loudly as he looked over to the purple tom standing in the door way.

Behind him was his staff of scientists and doctors, they walked in after Dark Kat; they rolled in two large examining tables with them.

Cody growled louder at them as they got closer, they wore sterilized white gloves, and held trey's of instruments in their paws.

Dark Kat looked up at his to severely punished pets, the blond war kat glared down at him murderously.

The purple tom looked at the both of them quietly and waved his staff to the corner, and watch them prepared the tables and instruments.

"So neither of you can betray me no more," He waved his paw and a tom came up to him "You are having these implanted into your skulls." Dark Kat growled lowly.
He held a small microchip between his index finger and thumb.

Cody growled loudly as the chains from his arms and Aliee's were being unwound from their arms.

His black companion hit the ground, her legs finally gave out from the lack of food entering her body.

Cody struggled best he could, as he was dragged over to the table and strapped down beside his friend.

He was instantly knocked out as something came down over his head, the doctors hovered over her first; then over him after only seven hours had passed.

-Twenty four hours later-

Cody and Aliee stood in front of Dark Kat quietly, he laughed as he tested his new mind control one that could not easily be defeated by will.

"Tomorrow, you both will kill my enemy's." Dark Kat laughed aloud.

Both Aliee and Cody roared in response to Dark Kat as he laughed, their eyes flashed bright red.

Dark Kat grinned widely.
