{The Endless Torture}
She looked at the bodies lying all around her, then at the dark smoke that surrounded her. It was so strong that it eventually went through her mask, so she inhaled it and passed out last.
Phoenix came into the scene, smiling proudly as she dragged her sword along on the ground. She stepped over the bodies till she got right beside Sylvia’s body and smiled again.
She was the one who threw the smoke bomb. Now it’d be easier to kill the Great Donna of SILVER BULLET, and with their leader gone, Goldeneye Clan would be back in first place. She’ll kill Barbie next.
She grinned evilly and raised her sword, glaring viciously at Sylvia’s neck. She brought the sword down on her neck, but suddenly got pulled by the leg.
She fell heavily to the ground and landed face-flat while her sword fell beside her. She groaned and looked up slowly, only to see a pair of black boots in front of her.
She looked up at the owner of the boots and discovered it to be Barbie. She had woken already.
” But… How? The smoke bomb was supposed to put y’all to sleep for at least six hours. How are you awake 5 minutes after?” She asked, panting heavily on the ground.
” Neutralizing pills, actually. I take neutralizing pills at least a month so that things like this wouldn’t have an effect in my body. I guess I was the only one in the empire cautious enough to take them.” Barbie replied.
Phoenix grunted heavily on the ground and yelled. She did a quick handstand and then a backflip, landing some distance away from Barbie.
Barbie held her knives and glared at her, while Phoenix picked up a nearby sword. The two women charged at each other and attacked hotly.
Sylvia Mõ@ned on the ground, slowly getting back her consciousness. Her eyes struggled to open up, and they eventually did.
She lifted herself from the ground and stood on all four limbs, holding her aching head with one hand. She looked at her front next, and was shocked to see what her eyes caught.
She was staring right at Black, A.K.A. Shadow of Goldeneye Clan. He was in the same position as her, only that he was glaring dangerously.
The Goldeneye tattoo was on his neck already. He looked so dark, dangerous and evil, unlike the jovial charming Black she met at Spain.
Sylvia’s eyes kept scanning him repeatedly, making sure that he was really the one. Her heart was in her mouth right now as to how shocked she was.
Betrayal is everywhere. You can’t even trust a stranger, let alone even a friend. They’ll all betray you eventually, that’s the lesson she got taught right now.
They both stood at the same time, still looking at each other’s faces. Cold breeze blew between them, and mixed feelings flew past too.
Shadow dragged out his sword sharply from his sheath, speeding to Sylvia like crazy. He caught her off-guard as he tried cutting her neck off, but she dodged and did a cartwheel away from him.
Her eyes were so wide at how insanely skilled he was. He did a cartwheel to her too and tried cutting off her legs, but she jumped high into the air and landed behind him.
She was panting insanely. She had no weapon right now, and she wasn’t finding any weapon nearby. She had to keep dodging his attacks first before finding out what was really going on.
Shadow used the sword to stab her from behind without turning to her. Sylvia sensed the danger and dodged again, facing his back.
Shadow turned, looking at her heartlessly. He behaved as if she was an enemy he had known for many years.
” How… How could you do this? Why?” Sylvia screamed, but she got responded by Shadow trying to stab her again.
She twirled away from the spot and elbowed him right on the jaw, causing him to bleed and groan in pain.
She stepped back for a while while watching him. He spat out blood and glanced at her devilishly.
” I have nothing to say to you. My goal is to kill you and bring my Goldeneye Clan back to its rightful place, so stay still and die with honour.” He yelled, running to her again.
Sylvia went to her side so that he’d speed past her, but he wasn’t easily fooled and managed to punch her in the tummy. She got sent flying far and landed heavily on the ground.
She coughed, holding her stomach painfully. Shadow walked gently to her, and she started shifting back from him.
” You sick motherFüçker. You pretended like you were such a saint. You still have the guts to proudly say you work for Thorn? I’ll kill you!!!” Sylvia roared, and he wasted no time in running to her again.
He tried stabbing her head, but she quickly rolled away so the sword stabbed the ground.
She found a gun and picked it up before standing. She tried to shoot Shadow down, but he blocked the bullet with his sword.
She tried and tried again, shooting more rapid bullets at him. Shadow dodged each one till she ran out of bullets, and she threw down the gun.
She placed her arms in front of her, indicating that she wanted physical combat. Shadow understood the message and dropped his sword, then he smirked.
She ran to him first and tried punching his oesophagus. He caught her fist and crushed it, causing her to grimace painfully.
She tried punching him with the other fist, but he caught it again. He almost crushed it when she used that opportunity to jump and kick him. He flew from her and landed on the ground.
Sylvia panted, trembling so much. He stopped moving and went unconscious because he hit his head so hard when he fell.
She turned away from his body and faced Barbie and Phoenix who were still fighting. She made to run to them when her head got hit heavily from behind, and she fell with a loud thud.
Shadow appeared at her back, he used the back of his sword to punch her head. He grabbed her silver hair and raised her head up with it, looking at her unconscious face.
Sylvia managed to slightly open her eyes and give her killer a last look. Surprisingly, she began to cry, and the painful tears rolled down her eyes.
” Black… How could you? Why you of all people? Tell me why you chose to betray me this way, like everyone else.” Sylvia spoke hurtfully as she began to grow weak.
” My name isn’t Black. It is Shadow.” He said and raised his sword high.
Phoenix was already looking tired as she staggered back from Barbie. Blood was on her eyes, mouth and nose. She got given the beating of her life.
Barbie didn’t even sustain a single injury. It was Phoenix’s blood on her face and hands right now.
Sharply, she turned on a spot and gave Phoenix a powerful kick on the head. She landed right on her forehead as she got sent crashing into the ground, and she went limp from there.
Barbie turned back, only to see Sylvia about to get killed by Shadow. Her face got covered with shock as she began running to them mightily.
” Sylvia, nooooooooooooooooooooo!!!”
Shadow wickedly th-ru_sted his sword into her tummy, ànd the sword came out of her back. Sylvia’s eyes buldged at the intense pains she felt.
” Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgghh!!!” She cried out and closed her eyes tightly.
He pulled out the sword which got painted with her blood. She bleeded profusely from the tummy and Shadow dropped her.
She fell on her knees and rested with an arm on the ground, using the other to hold her wound. She vomited blood on the ground and stared at it, seeing Black’s reflection in it.
She used to think he was such a good guy. Is this how quickly humans change? If she gets a second chance in life, she’ll never trust again.
Shadow heartlessly raised his sword again, not feeling a single pity for her. He brought the sword down to slice her head off when Barbie kicked his head from behind, and the sword fell from him.
He held his head painfully and winced, staggering from Sylvia. He turned to Barbie, but she sunk a knife into his chest on the right and kicked him again.
He collapsed heavily to the ground, landing on the knife in his chest. He passed off like that.
Barbie panted and quickly went to Sylvia, squatting beside her. Sylvia was gasping for air as well, throwing up more blood.
” Sylvia…” Barbie muttered hurtfully in seeing her state, but Sylvia suddenly stopped breathing and fell flat to the ground, passing out too.
Barbie’s eyes almost popped out of her sockets as she stared at Sylvia’s lifeless body.
” Sylvia, noooooooooooo!!!” She screamed out.
♣ A WEEK LATER ∞ GOLDENEYE CLAN ♣
Phoenix was lying on a sickbed in the empire’s clinic, still unconscious since the last clan battle.
Her face was heavily bandaged, but her nose was left alone to let her breath. Other parts of her body that got injured were also bandaged and treated.
Her eyes suddenly flew open, and she gasped as she stood and looked around her environment. She sighed out in relief when she recognized it as the empire’s clinic.
” I’m alive.” She muttered gladly.
She closed her eyes as her brain started to hurt. The memories of the fight were coming back, fighting their way back to her.
She snapped her eyes open when she remembered it all and stood from the sickbed, flying out of the clinic.
♣ SILVER BULLET ∞ DAY ♣
Shadow twitched his eyes slowly in pain, struggling to wake up.
He yelled painfully and later opened his eyes, panting and looking around. He was in a dark-looking room, all alone. But he could still see himself.
He tried standing up, but yelled painfully and got held down. He was tied down to a chair with ropes made out of nails, and they were piercing his skin badly.
He must have had his blood wasted for a long time, because he could see a thick pool of his blood beneath his feet. Plus, the knife in his chest never got removed. It was still there and giving him extra pains.
It felt like he got thrown into hell. The pains were too much to bear. He wanted to escape from his misery at all costs!
The only metal door to the room made noises, and he turned his head there. He saw Sylvia stepping in with Barbie and the other top mafiosos, and they all held unfriendly looks.
The top mafiosos stood around him, leaving the bosses to stand in front of him. He wheezed painfully for breath as he struggled to see the two faces in front of him.
The lights in the room got switched on, blinding him immediately. The sudden brightness hit him and made him shout again.
He adjusted to the brightness and opened his eyes, finally seeing their unwelcoming faces.
He looked more terrible under the light. His hair was unkept, his outfit was so tattered and bloody, and his whole body reeked. He looks so terrible and disgusting right now.
He saw that her tummy which she stabbed was bandaged heavily. She smirked when he looked there, and he looked back into her eyes.
” Welcome to the Torture Arena. The one place designed to look like hell, and feels like hell.” Barbie said the first words.
Immediately he looked at Barbie, a stray slap from Sylvia struck his face soundly. His face flew off and his eyes almost fell out as he spat blood.
Barbie slapped him too, returning his face to Sylvia’s side. Sylvia slapped him again, and his face turned to Barbie’s side.
He spat out more blood, groaning in extreme pains. Red marks of the slaps began showing on his face.
” I’ll make you bleed, just as much as you made me feel so stupid for ever trusting you. You sick son of a…” Her last word got cut off when Barbie slapped him, making him fall down with the chair.
” Paitience, Barbie.” Sylvia cautioned, lifting Shadow back upright with the chair. His face dangled around, making him look so stupid.
” He looks like a fool. Bosslady should finish him off already.” Lucy whispered to herself, but Venom standing beside him heard and glanced at her.
” Shut up Lucy. You have no right to speak since you should be in his position as well. You betrayed your friend too, remember?” Venom told her.
” Watch your tongue, snake girl. Or I’ll rip it out for you.” Lucy retorted.
Venom hissed at her angrily.
” Bring me the torture devices.” Sylvia ordered, and they were immediately presented to her in a box.
She took out some headphones, and Shadow creased his brows at it wonderingly. Was she gonna torture him with music?
Without saying a word, she placed it on his ears. The headphones were connected to a remote which she held, and she pressed a button on it.
The headphones got switched on immediately, and an insanely and painful noise hit Shadow’s ears. He yelled painfully and shaked his head around as his eardrums got punctured.
Sylvia increased the volume to her heats content, making sure he’d go deaf. Shadow’s scream travelled far as he started to go deaf.
Sylvia took off the headphones, then she handed Barbie an electrical taser. Barbie pulled out the knife from his chest without care, and more of his blood spilled out.
” Aaaaaarrrrgghh!!!” He screamed.
His screaming got silenced when Barbie shot the taser at him. The taser got him right on the chest stab and shocked hell out of him.
He vibrated insanely in the seat. He couldn’t struggle or even scream anymore. If this kept going on, he was surely gonna die.
Barbie stopped shocking him with the taser and removed it from his chest stab. She got a strange red powder and threw it at his face, making him close his eyes blindly.
The powder began burning his face like fire. He screamed out his lungs as his face stinged hellishly.
Sylvia grabbed his head, making stay in a place as she watched him suffer before him. She smiled out proudly, then gave his head a punch.
Shadow kept screaming and struggling in the chair. He was already looking so unrecognizable.
” Where… Is Thorn?” Sylvia asked calmly, and he stopped screaming.
He tried opening his eyes, but he couldn’t because of the red pepperish powder. He was more than blind.
” I said… Where is Thorn?” Sylvia asked calmly again.
” I… I can’t tell you where he is! If I do, my mission is a fail! I can’t have a failed mission with him!” He screamed agonizingly.
” As long as you’re trapped here in my empire… Your mission has failed a long time ago. I’ll make you die slowly for betraying me, I promise.” She replied.
” What are you talking about? I don’t even work with you! So how can I betray you!” He shouted.
” You went ahead to work with Goldeneye Clan and almost killed me. Thorn is the one man that made me into the orphan I am today. I lost everything in my life because of him, and you work for him! Sick bastard!” She shouted insanely, grabbing a wood from the ground.
She banged it against his forehead, causing his skull to have a slight crack at front. His head fell back, but she pulled it back up and sank a knife into the red powder before sinking it back into his chest wound.
” Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrgghh!!!” Came his scream again.
She spread out her palm and grabbed the tattoo on his neck with her nails. She ripped it out while yelling hard, causing blood to spill out of his skin.
She successfully ripped off the Goldeneye tattoo along with his skin and threw it to the ground. Shadow went limp again, slowly dying from all the torture.
TBC. To Be Continued.
