The cellar door creaked open, breaking the tense silence that had filled the dimly lit space. Yuri, accompanied by a group of Yakuza enforcers, burst in with a sense of authority and purpose. Their footsteps echoed ominously against the concrete walls, signaling trouble for Kenshi and Johnny.
Without hesitation, Yuri moved swiftly towards Kenshi, his intent clear in how he clenched his fists. In a brutal display of force, Yuri delivered a powerful punch to Kenshi's abdomen, causing him to double over in agony, incapacitated by the pain.
"Kenshi! Hey! Hey!" Johnny cried out, his voice laced with fear and anguish as he watched helplessly from his position on the ground
Yuri paid no heed to Johnny's cries, focusing solely on carrying out his orders. "Untie him," he commanded his men, pointing to Kenshi, who was still bound to the chair. The Yakuza gangsters obeyed without question, swiftly freeing Kenshi from his restraints.
As Kenshi slumped forward, trying to catch his breath amidst the pain, Yuri turned his attention to Johnny. "Release him," he ordered his men, gesturing towards Johnny, who was still chained above his head. The Yakuza members moved efficiently, undoing the chains holding Johnny captive.
The sudden release of the chains caused Johnny to cry out in pain, his weakened body protesting against the sudden movement. The Yakuza gangsters grabbed Johnny under his arms, their grip firm as they started dragging him towards the cellar door.
"No, wait!" Johnny protested, his voice desperate and pleading. "What are you doing? Let go of me!"
Kenshi, still reeling from the blow he had received, was also grabbed by the Yakuza enforcers, his protests drowned out by the chaos unfolding around them.
As Johnny Cage and Kenshi were dragged down the dimly lit hall and up a flight of stairs, every jolt and movement sent waves of excruciating pain through their battered bodies. Johnny's cries of pain echoed off the walls, the sound muffled by the hands of the Yakuza enforcers who were determined to keep their captives under control.
With each step, Johnny fought to remain conscious, his ribs shifting with each movement, causing him to grit his teeth in agony. The pain threatened to overwhelm him, but he clung to consciousness, determined not to succumb to the darkness that threatened to consume him.
Beside him, Kenshi greeted his teeth; his jaw clenched in an effort to endure the pain without showing weakness. His eyes burned with determination, and his mind raced with thoughts of escape and defiance.
They were dragged outside into the cool night air. What greeted them was the sight of a luxurious mansion. The site of the grand estate is enough to give Johnny Cage a run for his money.
They were led inside, and the mansion's luxury was a stark reminder of the Yakuza's power and wealth. The enforcers guided them through ornate halls and lavish rooms until they reached the giant backyard, where a sense of foreboding settled over Johnny and Kenshi.
The backyard was expansive, a manicured garden surrounded by high walls that concealed whatever lay beyond. The moon cast an eerie glow over the scene, adding to the surreal atmosphere surrounding them.
Johnny and Kenshi found themselves kneeling in front of a large, luxurious pool, their nerves palpable in the tense atmosphere surrounding them. Johnny's gaze darted nervously, taking in the Yakuza members posted along the perimeter, their watchful eyes adding to the impending danger.
Johnny glanced at his husband, panting, "It looks like a party out here, Kenny." Johnny whispered to Kenshi, " And we are the special guests."
The blind swordsman looked towards the weakened actor, " Something must be going down."
Yuri and his men stood at attention, their presence a menacing reminder of the Yakuza's power and authority. But it was Roman Haroshi's approach that sent a shiver down Johnny's spine. Haroshi's calculated steps echoed off the tiles as he walked towards them, his expression unreadable.
As Haroshi reached them, he looked between Kenshi and Johnny. Roman snapped his fingers, a signal that set the events in motion. A Yakuza gangster moved forward with a taser in hand, a cruel smile playing on his lips.
Without warning, a Yakuza member aimed a taser at Johnny's back and delivered a jolt of electricity. The actor screamed in agony, his body filled with electricity. Johnny collapses onto his stomach, spasming from the shock.
"Johnny!" Kenshi shouted, his voice filled with fear and anger as he watched helplessly.
Before Johnny could even recover, he received another electric shock, causing him to scream again. The sound of his cries could be heard throughout the massive backyard. The pain rippled through Johnny's body and caused him to convulse uncontrollably. His muscles seized, and he coughed harshly, the broken ribs protesting against the violence inflicted upon him.
Kenshi's fists clenched in frustration and desperation as he witnessed the brutality unfolding before him. The blind swordsman tried to break free from his captors, but it was useless; they had a grip on him.
The sight of Johnny in agony fueled a fire of defiance within Kenshi, but he was powerless to stop the onslaught.
Johnny Cage gasped for air, his chest heaving with each labored breath as he continued to spasm on the ground, the electric shocks wreaking havoc on his already battered body. Every muscle protested against the onslaught of pain, sending waves of agony through his entire being.
Kenshi watched helplessly "Please, stop this!" he shouted, his voice filled with desperation and anger.
But Haroshi remained unmoved, his eyes cold and indifferent as he watched Johnny's suffering, " Shock him again."
The Yakuza gangster, fueled by sadistic pleasure, ignored Kenshi's pleas and delivered another electric shock to Johnny's trembling form.
The jolt of electricity caused Johnny to convulse even harder; his body wracked with spasms that seemed to have no end. The pain was excruciating, a relentless assault that left Johnny gasping for air, his vision swimming with each wave of agony.
Kenshi's heart ached as he watched Johnny's torment, his helplessness fueling a burning rage within him. "Stop it, damn it!" he yelled, his voice hoarse with emotion.
But his words fell on deaf ears as the Yakuza gangster continued to administer the electric shocks, each one sending Johnny into a spiral of agony and despair. Haroshi's indifference only added to Kenshi's fury; his silent observation was a cruel reminder of the powerlessness they faced against such ruthless adversaries.
Eventually, the electric prongs were lifted from the actor's back after what felt like an eternity. Johnny lay on his stomach on the ground with his cheek pressed on the smooth tile. His body is trembling from the relentless electric shocks that had wracked him moments ago. His breaths came in ragged gasps, his chest still heaving with the effort to recover from the torment he had endured.
But before he could even gather his strength, Yuri, with a cold determination, strode over and grabbed Johnny by the back of the neck, lifting him roughly to his knees. The pain etched deep lines of agony on Johnny's face as he struggled to remain upright, his muscles protesting every movement.
Haroshi, observing the scene with detached interest, nodded his head in approval at Yuri's actions, "I must inform you of our conversation between myself and Mr. Cage." He started, " And I must say, you pick a loyal one right here."
" Johnny already told me about the ultimatum you tried to give him," Kenshi snapped, trying to break free himself.
" Then you understand the decision he made," Roman said, tilting his head.
" I told you Johnny would never listen to you." Kenshi barked.
" Indeed you were." Haroshi's demeanor never changed as he spoke to the blind swordsman. " But unfortunately, you know what happens to outsiders who stick their noses in our operations." He said, Turning to Yuri, " Do it."
Yuri, without hesitation, dragged Johnny to the edge of the pool, his grip like a vice around Johnny's neck. Kenshi's voice rose in desperation as he shouted for them to stop, but his pleas were brushed aside.
With a swift and brutal motion, Yuri dunked Johnny's head into the water, holding him down with relentless force. Johnny's body registered the danger, his survival instincts kicking in as he fought against Yuri's hold, desperate for air.
Bubbles escaped from Johnny's nose and mouth as he struggled, his lungs burning for oxygen. The world around him blurred as his vision darkened, his heartbeat pounding in his ears.
Kenshi's heart clenched with fear and helplessness as he watched Johnny's struggle, his fists clenched in anger at the cruelty of their captors. He fought to break free from his captors.
The blind swordsman managed to break free from one of his captors. Ignoring the pain in his injured arm, Kenshi landed a punch to his other captor freeing his other arm. With the newfound adrenaline, Kenshi rushed towards his drowning husband.
But his victory was short-lived. In a split second, a gunshot rang out. Kenshi felt a sharp pain in his left leg, causing him to collapse and cry out in pain. Kenshi whimpered as he held his now bleeding leg.
Haroshi clicks his tongue at Kenshi's futile attempt to escape, " Now Takahashi, why would you think that would work?
Greeting his teeth in pain, Kenshi watched helplessly as Johnny struggled against Yuri, "Fight, Johnny!" he urged, his voice choking with emotion and pain. "You can do it!"
But the water pressed in, suffocating Johnny's attempts to breathe. His body thrashed in Yuri's grip, a silent scream of defiance against the forces that sought to drown his spirit along with his body. And amidst the chaos and brutality, Johnny's will to survive burned bright, a beacon of hope in the darkness of their captivity.
