Authors note :[ Alright guys, I admit there are a lot of errors in the chapters, i am and still working on them. Hopefully in the near future I can achieve that perfect writing, but even as this is not a good enough excuse, I'd like to remind everyone its my first novel and mistakes like this are bound to be made (I'm working on it notwithstanding). As always please don't forget to vote (power stones) and do well to drop a comment please).
"I knew you guys had something to do with what happened to us that day!!". Erwin said with veins popping out of his head. It was obvious he was livid at this point and he had all right to be. He and the team were deceived by the trio outside the cell, drugged and stolen from. Even if all this weren't crime enough, the fact that these trio had the guts to come before them still had just done it for Erwin. He yanked on his chain hard trying to break free to get to the trio outside all to no avail.
"Calm down you all. If it makes you feel any better, we had you poisoned twice. But somehow you guys managed to ignore the effects of the second one. If you guys had just gone down then, we would have come silently to pick you up and there will be no need for the whole drama that went down today" Tuffy explained.
"And to think the dose was double of what was given initially" Akira added
What he said made sense to the group as some days earlier, they had received a special notification like the one they did today making it the third time they would be attacked chemically. Though their systems provided some sort of immunity after the exposure to the substance, making it so they could some now resist the effects of such substance if it was ever used the second time.
"So you failed to get us then you ran to Damien your Dada for help is that it?" Blair asked in a teasing tone.
"You shut up!, you know nothing about us okay?" Tuffy yelled out in anger as he grabbed the metal bar and shook it violently. This act only amused Blair the more, he knew this would get to them and of course it did. But he wasn't the only one keen on annoying the trio outside the cell, he had some chained up, angry subordinates.
"Mmmm...let me see... You were bullied and had no where else to go blah blah blah. What else is there to know, you sold it to us perfectly you bastard!!" Corey said.
"You lied to us and stole from us, you really are evil" Mia said to the three standing just outside the cell.
"Oh come on princess, you really bought that act?. I had come to tell only one lie, one lie and that is tell you that I'm sorry. But you wanted the drama didn't you?. And as for stealing from you all, please give me a break. I did it while you all were sound asleep, surely you can't bear grudges in your sleep now can you?" Orin said and began to laugh along side his comrades on the outside.
"So what now, you got us. Where has that taken you to?. All I see is you've been relegated to guard duty down here" Rodney said to the trio.
"Oh you....you the annoying one. You all have the wrong picture. We weren't forced down here, we begged to be put down here and watch you suffer!" Orin replied.
"You know what I think, I think you are jealous because you can't put any of us down in a fight so you chose this path" Johan said. At this point it was both parties exchanging words back and forth.
To the ones standing outside, this was the only way the chained up people can get to them. So they happily responded as they felt it would only hurt them the more. To those on the inside, this was all a plan that was set in motion the moment they discovered the identities of those on the outside.
"Hahaha... he could beat any of you any day!" Akira responded and patted Orin on the shoulder to that effect. The person he spoke for immediately had a change in body tone and became stiff as he knew what his friend had just said might not be exactly true at all.
"Hahaha that's what I thought!. You are weak and pathetic, you can't do anything up front so you hide behind your little schemes. Even with me passed out you wouldn't even dare to touch me!" Corey said and began to laugh out really loud. The others found this quite strange, was he losing it slowly or this was still part of the act.
"You have no idea how much I have improved from the last time. But I don't have to prove it to you now do i?. You all shouldn't be awake in the first place, your second dose should have arrived by now. And I have put in some word for you, its Master Damien's so be guaranteed it will work and I bet he made it triple the first one that put you guys here. When you wake up after this, we will do it again and again and again, until you are called up. You will all suffer and I'll be right here to watch" Orin gave his little speech.
The others by his side felt some chills as he was saying this, they observed the way he talked and could feel the aura around him wasn't the one they both knew. This was different, and Orin had changed. And now it looked like things were beginning to set up nicely for the trio as three men entered the cell and they brought along with them the second dose Orin had been going on about.
The men walked in a single line and as they arrived, they dropped with the items they brought along with them on the floor and turned to the trio standing with them outside and asked.
"Master says they will be here for three more days as things are being put in place. They are debating if there's any need for a trial as the evidence against them is quite overwhelming. So for now, they will be put on this dose daily and not allowed any time to be awake, no food, no drink just sleep" one of the men said.
"Oh you guys hear that?. Looks like you'll be resting down here a lot". Akira said and the two with him began to laugh at the joke.
"Master Damien asks that you keep a close eye on them especially Master Yang. He says if at all you get tired, you should inform him and he will have men readily take your place down here so you can rest" one of the men who brought the second dose said.
"Oh I'm fine. We'll stay here and keep watch till the end, right guys?" Orin asked the two by his side. Tuffy and Akira looked at each other for a moment or two and they both had the same thought, "This guy is crazy". But they couldn't say that directly to Orin's face so they instead did what they have been doing all this while and thrived and that was be the " yes men" they were.
"Of course" Akira said.
"Totally, I want to watch her beg me for a drink each time she wakes up" Tuffy said and pointed to a cell that had no body else in it other than Mia. Hearing this, Orin was delighted his comrades had the same vile intentions as he did. The men looked at the boys for a while in disbelief before proceeding to do what they came there to do.
They went on to request for the keys from Orin and he gave to them. They then proceeded to the first cell gate and opened it. And as they entered, they drew their weapons which included an axe and two swords. After which they approached the first person they wanted to administered the dose to, this was Rodney.
They moved in quite carefully and most of the time kept their eyes up looking at Yang. They signalled to the boys outside and then a click sound was heard and the light in Rodney's cell came on. This action was sudden and caused him to squint his eye.
Without wasting time, they proceeded swiftly and injected the substance into Rodney. Then they turned to Yang and one of the men then signalled to the boys on the outside again. And immediately, a crackling sound was heard and the chains holding Yang began to rattle and slowly he began to descend.
They didn't allow him to get too close as he was within arm's reach, they stabbed the object they used to inject the substance into him rather violently. This action of theirs could be seen as malice but in reality, it was far from this as what they did was purely out of fear as they had seen what Yang did to the men that attacked him from earlier. Without wasting time, they signalled to the boys outside and the machinery began to pull Yang back up until he was firmly suspended high above the ground.
They quickly left the cell and proceeded to the next one doing the same thing over and over again. They expected some type of resistance each time but got none surprisingly. The men owed this to the fact that the chain had done a good job of holding them nice and strong. The men went around quickly and did this to the remaining and when they were done with the last person, they locked the cell and returned the key back to Orin.
"Keep watch of them and have us informed the moment they wake up". One of the men said.
" Gladly" Orin said with a smile and watched the men as they turned and left.
"So, now that you all are about to sleep, we can't just stand here doing nothing while you all get some rest now can we?". Orin asked but got no answer. Then he continued
"I have an idea, how about we put your little friend's theory to the test?" Orin said looking at Corey the boy with the green hair packed in a ponytail.
"I don't think they can hear you, the effects have kicked in" Tuffy whisper to orin who just nodded with a wide smile on his face. He then began to walk forward and got to a cell then he brought out the keys and opened it and turned back to say to the two behind him.
"Well, he did say we couldn't touch him. So how about we touch them all!" Orin said and immediately the others had a wicked smile appear on their faces as they made their way into the cell. They approached the person chained and laughed maniacally.
"Oh look guys, if it ain't blabbermouth" Orin said referring to Blair. The two behind him acknowledged this fact and once again began to laugh. Orin reached forward to Blair's blue hair and grabbed it and began to slap his lip repeatedly. He then pushed Blair's head hitting it on the wall. All this and not a single reaction from Blair as he was out supposedly. Orin stepped back and the two behind came forward and began to pick up the remaining scraps of what Orin had left. They punched and kicked Blair for a good amount of time until Orin had to stop them.
"Come on, you guys don't want to tire yourselves out on only one do you? We've still got eight to go hahaha" Orin said and proceeded to leave Blair's cell and move onto the next one. This time, it was Erwin's. Just like before he got in and his friends followed behind like a pack of hyenas.
"Oh its the tough guy. Let's see how tough you are!" Orin said and immediately began to dish out fast jab to Erwin's stomach. He then stopped and began to slap Erwin on the face just like he did to Blair. The other two stood behind jumping and enjoying every moment of it. And when it was their turn, they did not hold back one bit also. They were careful to not hit too hard though as they didn't want to effects of the substance to perhaps wear off too quickly or leave a visible mark on their bodies. Though Damien might take it to be nothing, they weren't so sure about Mr Tofu.
They got bored of Erwin and moved to the next target, here the person chained up was Corey. As they made their way to him, the two behind Orin were more than excited as they knew this particular one would be special.
"Ah its you, the untouchable one huh. Its your mouth that put you all in this mess" Orin said and immediately began to unload on Corey. Punching him every where, from face to stomach and back repeatedly. It became scary to watch and the two at the back moved in to stop Orin.
"Hey...hey.. You are gonna kill him....leave some for us will you?" They both laughed and began their own assault on Corey too. Punching him and slapping him on the face just like they did to Erwin and Blair.
But then in the middle of punching him, someone else began to laugh. And it wasn't them, it was Blair. And soon after, Erwin too raised his bent head and began to laugh as well and before the trio knew it, the prisoners all began to laugh hysterically except for Corey who still had his bent.
"How are they all awake?" Tuffy asked but he got an reply that didn't quite answer his question.
"I think you three just made the biggest mistake of your lives" Blair said.
"Oh oh... I think you touched the wrong one" Erwin followed and they all began to laugh again. It just didn't make sense to Orin and his friends. Why were these people laughing?. They were the ones chained and even though it surprised him that they had managed to somehow stay awake, it wasn't like they could do anything to him he thought.
"So what?" Tuffy asked in response to Erwin's comment.
"So in the next ten seconds, you three will be lying on the ground" Corey raised his head up to say.
