Hello fanfictioners, Kick shippers, lovers of Kickin It and... others. Thank you for putting down your pitchforks and dropping those mouldy tomatoes as I have updated now for the first time in a while, two chapters in one week! I was just so inspired and there's You Don't Know Jack so I was extra-motivated to update for Jack as he brought Kickin It to us Kickin It lovers and Kick shippers. Gone quite emotional now haven't I? I'll stop now... Thank you for the reviews white tiger freak and Camela1998, I hope that I will please you with this update... Anyway, enjoy the chapter and review please!
"He isn't here is he?"
"No."
Jack lunged again but was thrown down on the floor.
"But you see Jack I never once lied. I said if you want your grandfather to be safe then you will do all that I ask of you. If you did not do so then something would've happened to that old man."
"You tricked us." Kim spoke up
"Oh they can speak, your friends. Yes I admit we were being deceitful but we never lied."
"Now to discuss the matter of payment in exchange for your grandfather's safety."
"I will never be one of you."
"Oh, I was hoping for a rather different answer. Perhaps we should let you go to your room and then afterwards you can tell me if you feel the same."
Jack's eyes widened in fear as what he was referring to was their Room 101. But Jerry didn't realise that. "Will there be a bathroom there?"
"There's always one stupid one." He looked carefully at the others, analysing them. "I also see the smart one." He looked at Milton "And the role model." He turned to Rudy and then looked directly at Kim "And the pretty one."
He walked away from them again and crouched by Jack. "Where does that leave you Jack? Which one are you? The brave one? The cocky one? The one with a hero complex? Tell me you think I'm getting warmer." They had a quick stare match but He Liu broke it and ordered the to take Jack to the room. "I hope you enjoy as much as I will." He said to the gang without even giving them a glance.
They were forced to walk through whatever that place was. But they looked around as they walked. There were many doors and none were left open, probably because they didn't want to let even those who work for them find out about the horrors that happened in each room. But they then came to the end of the corridor where a black door that matched the painted black walls stood. The only difference between this door and all the others was that this was numbered: Room 101.
This was the room that Jack had told his friends about. This was the room where they tortured Jack. This was the room where he saw his biggest fears come 'alive'.
"Welcome to possibly my favourite room here. I should probably explain to you what happens when inside but I have a feeling that Jack already told you all and anyway I love a live demonstration."
"Jack!" Kim, Jerry, Milton and Rudy yelled out as he was being unbound and pushed through another room inside Room 101
"Silence! The show's starting."
From the gang's point of view, it looked like a plain black room that had a window but it was actually one way glass. He Liu sat at a desk with two other members and these people were hired for their intellect as they were working the controls of the room.
But Jack on the other hand. From his point of view, he was in a completely blackened room where it was hard to even see your own hands.
And then it began...
Jack was limping around the room until he sat in the middle of the room and crossed his legs. He began to meditate in order to forget what was around him.
Knowing that the room had not yet taken effect on Jack, He ordered everything to be increased.
"Double the sound and decrease the lighting by another 2%.. Heighten everything to increase his senses... I want him to taste his fear."
"Should I increase the drug I. The gas to create more fear and stimulus?"
"Affirmative."
"Milton what are they doing?" Whispered Kim
"They're using a drug that creates fear and stimulus and are heightening his senses to increase paranoia and hallucinations."
"So what will he hallucinate about?"
"Anything that he's secretly scared of. Remember he said he imagined his dead relatives once."
"What are we going to do?" Jerry asked
"There's nothing we can do." Rudy replied "We'd be putting ourselves and Jack at risk even more."
"But we can't do nothing." Jerry retorted
"No Rudy's right."
Unfortunately they had to just watch Jack in pain.
"Jack!" Jack heard as he tried to meditate "Jack!"
Jack opened his eyes and fell into the trap. He imagined hearing the voice of a scared Kim. But Kim remained silent outside the room he was forced into. Jack closed his eyes but the noises were too much and he clutched his head and loudly moaned in agony before getting up.
"Kim!" He called. Jack looked around as He Liu told the controllers to create a shadow to intensify Jack's emotions.
Jack could hear everyone that he loved screaming his name as if they were in pain and they were the only one that could save them. Then suddenly all the voices shut off and Jack dropped to the floor. But then one at a time the voices returned with a different tune to sing.
"You're the worst student I've ever had."
"You're not really my best friend."
"You're an imbecile and a delinquent."
"You're weaker than anybody I've ever met."
"We all have to deal with stuff that's we don't like but why were we stuck with you?"
"Just a punt little skate rat."
"You're not good enough."
"I can't believe I'm friends with you."
"You're no son of mine."
"Why would I ever love you? You're nothing... Nothing."
"STOP IT!" Jack yelled out to the voices "Stop it."
"Jack... Why?"
"I'm sorry I couldn't help it."
"It's your fault."
"I didn't... I didn't mean to do anything."
"But you still did it." The voice continued "It's your fault they're dead."
The voice disappeared but what Jack saw next made him want the voices back.
"Mum! Dad!" Jack ran to what he thought were the bodies of his dead parents. But they vanished and across the room were replaced by another body. "Grandpa!" At this point Jack was crying and once again the body moved and changed. "Rudy! Rudy?" But the bodies now instead of moving and changing stayed where they were and grew in numbers. Jack looked around and cried out "Milton! Jerry!" He knelt by his best friends' bodies before the final body appeared. Jack hesitantly walked over and collapsed crying over the dead body of what he was made to think was the person he loved the most... Kim Crawford.
Jack lashed out from all the hurt and anger and pain that the Black Lotus had dished out on him and he started attacking the wall.
"Please! Please stop!" Kim begged
"Yes I'd agree that he's had enough for now." He spoke in Chinese to a guard to go inside and retrieve Jack.
The guard went in but instead of easily getting the emotionally distressed and abused Jack, he had to fight him first. Jack was angry and obviously attacked the first Black Lotus member that he saw. They fought until the member had pushed Jack down to the floor and to make sure that he stayed down. He stepped on his already injured ankle.
Kim, Rudy, Milton and Jerry were being held back from trying to reach Jack but they stopped when they heard the breaking noise of his ankle over the sound system.
"Ooh. That sounds like a nasty break." He Liu smirked. "Bring him out here!"
The member took Jack by grabbing his now broken ankle and dragging him out of room. When he let go of his ankle, gravity pulled it to the floor and Jack cried out in pain.
"Had enough yet Jack?" But Jack was in too much pain to reply. So He Liu ordered a member to step on his ankle while hmHe stood over Jack and watched him gasp over the pain. "Have you decided yet Jack?" The guard put more weight on his foot. "Will you be a member of the Black Lotus?"
Jack moaned through the pain and tried to look up the cold. Harsh look on He's face. He grimaced through the pain to say. "I will... Never... Be like you..."
"Such a shame." He Liu ordered the guard to get off Jack's ankle but signalled him and he kicked Jack to the back of the room hitting the wall.
"Jack, you are... Very resilient. But are friends?"
Jack blacked out from the pain.
I realise that I end every chapter with a cliffhanger but it is a dramatic story with lots of adventure. I hope that it's been jam-packed (that's my jam!) with both genres recently. Remember to please review to tell me what you thought, what you saw coming/did not see coming, what's to come and all around comments are great. I'm actually feel very down because I'm coming to the realisation that Kickin It will come to an end but I shall always ship Kick and be a Wasabi Warrior at heart... It's gone all emotional again hasn't it? So I guess all that's left to say is... Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
