The room was large and exquisite, something quite unusual for South. The walls coated with black fire, the pictures depicting bloody, merciless scenes... And most notably, the large bed that looked like it was made for a queen. And it was. It's sheets made of hell fire, it's pillows soft like ash, this bed was one that had been built here for one reason, and one reason only.
Appearing on the bed, Radical was hovering over Hikaru, the gray hair of the older man illuminated by the fires they were now on top of. It wouldn't phase Radical, but would it phase Hikaru, what without her magic to protect her? Radical smiled, his yellow, rotten teeth in clear sight as he reached down to kiss his queen, planting his lips square between her top and bottom. She would no doubt smell his wretched breath, and feel her throat in pain, as if it were catching on fire.
As they kissed, Radical's tails began to set to work making light of her clothing.
-
(It's official. K2 is stoned and I really hate this topic. RAPE >.>)
Luckily for Hikaru, her internal magic was still there which included the immunity to fire as well as healing for any damage that came to her. However, that was the least of her problems at the moment...
Shock, disgust, and rage filled Hikaru's emotions faster than she could react to any of it. Disoriented from the sudden summoning without warning, and then this? Hikaru had no time to think and acted on pure impulse. Throwing both her legs up together, she kicked him away and then violently flipped to the side off of the bed and onto the floor.
"JUST WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU THINKING?!" Hikaru choked and coughed from the forced kiss. as she shook all over when standing back up, quickly scanning the room with her eyes for a way out.
-
She would only find Stradivari standing next to the door. "I wouldnt do that if i was you Hikaru... You see, I have a legion of horny demons waiting fro you if you ran out." he says coldly, but slightly amused.
-
Thrown across the room, Radical stood up, anger in his eyes as he wiped the blood from his mouth, spitting the taste out of his mouth. He began to approach Hikaru, looking down at her as she struggled on the floor. He grinned a wide grin, before spitting once more, this time on her. He wasn't playing around now.
"You've done it now, you little bitch," he complained, forcing his weight down upon her once more, grabbing her wrists and pinning them down as he went for her neck.
-
Hikaru kicked him again, this time putting more force into the kick to throw him off of her. Seeing as her last attempt at standing was futile, Hikaru instead opted to roll under the bed this time, hoping to at least get somewhere where he couldn't reach her while she tried to figure out a way out of this mess. This had literally become madness. Just what the hell was Lucifer thinking?
Hikaru had to think. She only had internal magic and limited Spirit Energy available to her at the moment, what could she use to get out of something like this?
-
"UFF!" Radical shouted, once more landing across the room. Again, he stood up, walking back over to the bed, anger in his every step. On the floor under the bed, chains erupted out of the ground and began to wrap around her, in order to literally strap her to the ground. The bed began to burn to the ground, covering her in ash the moment Radical touched it.
-
"O-okay.. Y-you w-win Lucfier..." Hikaru stuttered as true fear shown in her eyes coupled with her shock and disgust of it all, her arrogance from just before having disappeared in her fear "I will stay in H-hell... Torture me, do whatever else.. J-just stop this!" With that statement, Hikaru went to work at attempting to get rid of the chains, using internal magic in strategic ways. The thing about the chains is that they could become brittle. One would just have to apply heat and cold enough times to cause the metal to erode and eventually corrode.
This is what Hikaru attempted to do with her internal magic. First heating her body up, then bringing the temperature down at every place the chains made contact. She continued to do this at a fast pace, over and over as she awaited the inevitable.
-
"I'll have you for myself later, you little whore," Radical replied, "For now... You're Antonio's bitch..."
He looked up at his trusted general. "Before you have your fun, remove her soul organ. You'll have to cut her open to do it, since we're magicless at the moment. Make sure you sow her back up nice."
And with that, he gave Antonio a nod and left.
-
Antonio saluted and opened the door for Radical. Several demons filed in the room as well. "Well, well, well... You should've listened to me Hikaru." he said. The Demons assisted in keeping her held down. More and more chain came out as well.
"She's hot!" one of the demons said. "Literally!" he added as he started laughing only to be shut up by Antonio's stare.
Antonio drew out his demonic sword and placed it on her body. "Normally I'd feel bad..." he dug it in her a little bit. "But in your case, not so much. I've seen who you are, so dont act so innocent, like you dont deserve this. Sure, youve done some good, you saved some important people, but that hardly makes up for your sins." he says as his blade slices her open. He nods to a demon who proceeded to stick his hands in and grab the organ.
"Try to remember... There is much worse that we could do to you." Antonio reassured her as the demon held it in his hand, above her. He proceeds toss it to Antonio. "Stitch the bitch up." he ordered.
-
However, he wouldn't have gotten as far as taking out the Soul Organ because the Elite Energy which was always passive, healed the wound every time the sword would attempt to cut. However it did nothing for the pain, luckily because the soul wasn't taken out yet, her internal phoenix abilities took care of that part.
"Is that supposed to reassure me... or your conscience?" Hikaru wasted no time feeling relieved that Lucifer was gone. That could be done later when she escaped. Which she had to find a way to do before they could take out her soul.
By now the first set of chains had become brittle, to which Hikaru started to focus on doing the same effect to the newly appeared chains. Sadly without external magic to filter anew the internal magic, she was starting to tire out a lot faster than she would have had she had her external magic as well.
-
"You know nothing of me, or my conscience." he told her. "Kriegzor, Yaheezch, your blades please?" he asked as 2 Demons came to his side as more and more chains came to restrain every part of her body. Antonio and the other 2 demons pieced one part near the heart and wrenched it open, while several more assistants held it open as the energy tried to heal.
"Interesting tactic that you had with the chains though." he commented while looknig at one of the lengths that had first been brought up. "Heating it up... that explains why you're so hot... no pun intended of course. Of course, this is Hell, and it is very hot down here anyways, so these chains may prove to be a formidable foe."
-
When the energy couldn't heal the wound it simply grew new flesh in its place, leaving the pieces 'open,' peeled off from the body. The Elite Energy was known to heal, amplify the physical, magical, spiritual, and other energy based abilities, as well as even regrow limbs when they were taken off. As had been seen many times with the Elite Aralangs who had created the energy. So of course Hikaru didn't know this, and because she was pinned down, she couldn't exactly see what was happening, she assumed they were just taking a long time as she could feel no pain thanks to her phoenix blood, just pressure.
"I know that you just admitted to normally feeling bad." Hikaru cringed at the addition of more chains, which she also attempted her tactic on. "That normally symbolizes conflict in an action. I would know..." She trailed off in focus and refusal to explain any more.
-
"Well, you are somewhat right.." he says as he places his hand on her heart. "I have not lost all humanity in me.." he says. His hand starts to go inside of her, Antonio's trademark extraction technique for collecting souls. His hand would heat up and start to corrode any thing that touched it. This would result in an extremely deep pain, adding on to the pain of the demons desperately trying other methods. The room smelt of burning, boiling flesh as he began to go deeper.
"Im not sure what is inside of you, but this may be a long long night for you."
-
"Then let me fill you in on something..." Hikaru started to take notice of the smell and winced at the thoughts of what was going on as the Elite Energy kept blocking the path of corrosion, restoring each layer of flesh as it was corroded. As long as she had her internal magic, thankfully, there would be no pain. "I did not end up in Hell for my sins... I was long ago tricked when helping a demon known as Sakael..."
-
He drew his hand back. "Oh yes... my predecessor." he replied. "But everyone goes to Hell for their sins. Yours, unfortunately, was being tricked by a Demon. Which is more common than you may think."
He claps his hands as 7 creatures hopped up on her. They were odd looking, and small with multiple limbs. "Bring me her soul..." he ordered the seven. They got up on 2 of their limbs, bowed, and turned to Hikaru's head. Once at the base of her neck, one started speaking an odd language as the others dispersed throughout her head. One tried the mouth, as 2 others snaked into her nose, 2 more to her ears, and 1 others looknig her eyeball over.
"I like to call them, abominations, but i simply adore them to much."
-
One thing about a Phoenix Sage? Their blood was pure Holy Fire until the magic was removed from it. Now amplify that with the Elite Energy which would get rid of anything in the body that wasn't supposed to be there, and those creatures had better hope they were fire proof. Though, even if they were, Holy Fire was right under god fire as the hottest magical fire out there. It burned through everything but God Fire.
The reaction caused Hikaru to choke, making it more difficult to talk, "You do not understand..." She sighed, mentally cringing at the thought of the next thing he was going to try. "It was not Sakael who tricked me but Lucifer... My original deal with him was to kill my brotherK2323 in order to return to the world of the living... I refused because my brother was not in his right mind. Sakael rescued me from Lucifer when he came to collect.." At that moment, one strand of chain snapped from becoming brittle enough and Hikaru set to work on another strand.
"Later Sakael requested my help in going to Hell to break out Zere, a keeper of Erebus out in order to fight the awakened Koty.. It was at that time Lucifer tricked me by changing the orb in a trade for Zere which was not Sakael's original intention. Lucifer never changed it back despite letting us leave..." Hikaru glanced to Antonio defiantly, her eyes narrowed into a glare, "So yes, I am innocent. Sins or not, I was not judged for Hell..."
-
"Judged or not, you're here now... " he said. "Hell wasnt meant to be fair Ms. Tyris."
"Nebeschzzel!" he yells. A demon step up and nods. "Can you please do the honors?" he asks as the demon takes his place. Using Psionics, the demon phases through her to her soul organ. Once he had a graps of it, he proceeded to take it out.
-
With her soul taken and her internal magic gone, Hikaru could immediately feel it gone. And without magic a wave of sickness hit her, the same feeling she had back when she was captured by the Aralangs, a nausea that only comes when something so akin to you is taken in such a fast manner that it leaves your body in shock. "No it is not..." Hikaru gritted her teeth and bared it, glaring up at Antonio with a dark expression of contempt, "However you said I deserved this. I was merely correcting to prove to you that I do not. Still feel good about yourself? I should think not."
Sighing, Hikaru gave up on the chains. The only thing left to her was her Spirit Energy and the Elite Energy, one which she could not afford to use too frequently and the other to which she refused to acknowledge she even had and had mostly forgotten about. All that was left to her now was to manipulate her way out of this and resort to mindgames.
"...So how did you end up here? If you still have humanity, that must mean you were once human. And if you were human that must mean you sinned as well, correct?"
-
The demon who extracted her soul organ quickly ran out of the Chamber with it as more demons piled in and closed the door. "Correct Hikaru. I was once human, and i was judged to be sent here. Of course, i had a talent that Lucifer wanted, and i became a demon." he explains as he touches a part of her clothing, as renders it to ash. "Lucifer's orders." he says.
"Anyway, i've grown quite accustomed to the environment of Hell." he stops in front of her and crouches down to look at her. "Why so interested in me all of the sudden?"
-
"..Simply to have something to talk about as talking is all I can do at the moment..." Though the first part was a lie, the second half held truth as Hikaru was without even movement for the time being. At the loss of her clothes, an outfit she happened to like, she became offended as she cringed, "I heard no such order." However, catching herself before she became too angry, as that would be bad for any manipulation attempts she tried, Hikaru instead quickly questioned, "Then why keep humanity?"
-
"Because... If I can manage to keep my own humanity, maybe my own sanity wont be lost as well." he replied. The demons were starting to get impatient as they waited for Antonio. The started complaining in their demonic language, but were once again silenced by Antonio., "Dont have expectations that i have not given you." he yells at them.
-
"So if given the choice you would rather stay here and not return to the living...?" Hikaru inquired rather quickly before glancing in disgust at what demons she could see. Expectations? Hikaru did not even want to know. Some things were better left unexplained, and that was one of them. "And last I checked, humanity was far from this." She partially rolled her eyes while at the same watching his expression.
-
His expression didnt change. "I have nothing for me in the realm of the living. I would rather spend my time here, than in eternal loneliness." he said. He stands back up as starts walking towards her legs. "Enough with the questions..." he stops at her feet and looks at her length-wise, looking over her body. "but also the fear of Eternal death by the hands of Lucifer is a great deterrent and motivation for my horrid deeds."
-
Hikaru scowled at him from her position, "Lucifer is not so powerful. If I had my magic, it would be he who would be the one chained to a floor..." She let that hang while attempting to shift her weight. The chains were tight and because she now no longer had her internal magic, the pain was starting to get to her. "And what is it you expect me to do? Lie here and be quiet like a good little girl? I think not. It is not as if there is anything else I can do... unless you plan to release me any time soon."
-
However shifting her weight or even the act of moving would be near impossible with the Demons assisting her restraints. "He may not be so powerful, but he is more powerful than I." he responds. "And no..." he pauses. "I dont expect you to do anything, but I will note that your bravery in the face of fear is quite commendable."
He looks around the room and then back down at Hikaru. "I suppose i should get on with it, i believe ive explained myself enough." he sighs and kneels down towards her private area. (Yeah, im going to try to word this as inoffensive and politically as possible) With his index finger, he slowly inserted it, and felt around. This would, if it were her first experience, send an odd shock of pleasure throughout her body, which would compensate for some of the pain. "And after all of this time, you're still a virgin. Very surprising Ms. Tyris."
-
Hikaru immediately clenched her eyes shut at the pain, mentally blocking out any such pleasure that her body would have. Was this man literally going to go through with what Lucifer had said? Just the mere thought shook her with disgust. Hikaru always knew she was walking a thin line between Hell, what with the orb and all. But she never expected anything like this. She had always thought that Lucifer preferred torture over something like this. "And I would rathe-"
"She would rather it remain that way." The voice of Hikaru spoke as a black cloaked figure appeared across the room sitting atop one of the dressers, the Ingrounded!Hikaru; which was made obvious when she threw down the hood of her cloak revealing her appearance to be the same, though clothed, "As would I."
-
Antonio looks up towards the dresser and sees the Ingrounded Hikaru. He becomes oddly relieved. "Gentlemen, looks like your expecttions will be met... I will attend to our new guest." he says before removing his finger from her area, but only to have it replaced by another demon, who began moving it in a rapid motion.
Stradivari stood up and approached the Ingrounded Hikaru. "Well, well, well... Im not sure but i do believe i have another Hikaru Tyris here... Am I correct?" he questions the Ig Hikaru in an oddly casual manner.
-
The Ingrounded Hikaru said nothing as she jumped down and simply walked through him, almost like a ghost, over to the demons and her counterpart the Subgrounded Hikaru. Without a word she gave a sharp kick to the face of the demon defiling here counterpart and glared at the remainder of the demons, "You are correct," she snapped.
Having bit down on her own tongue to keep from showing any reaction, the Subgrounded Hikaru dared to open her eyes, "T-took you long enough," she choked. "Could you have made it any closer?"
"Just as I explained with the Aralang capture, If I am to call myself the most powerful magic user in existence, I cannot go interfering ever time that my counterpart is captured. There would be no challenge," The Ingrounded Hikaru knelt down and ran her index finger vertically down the chains, a beam of of Revelation magic trailing behind and breaking through them. She then threw off the black cloak she wore and threw it down to the Subgrounded Hikaru, covering her.
-
Antonio gave a sharp turn towards the two. "There is no escape Hikaru Tyris... Hell will be your tomb." he says to them as the black walls melted downm showing a legion of demons now around them. "I do find it odd that your magical abilities are still intact Hikaru." he strolled over to them as the demons who were holding down the SG Hikaru stood up with weapons ready.
"Im not sure what you're trying to accomplish."
-
"My accomplishments?" The Ingrounded Hikaru laughed, "As I told my counterpart. I was originally not going to interfere. That is, until you crossed the line." At the appearance of the other demons, the Ingrounded Hikaru merely narrowed her eyes, "It is my body too, and I will not have it defiled!"
The Subgrounded Hikaru groaned. As she stood up she had to quickly catch her balance to keep from falling back down, her limbs having fallen asleep from the chains and being in one position for so long. Wrapping the cloak around herself and tying it in place so that it would cover her, she glared at Antonio as well, "Yes well, that would have been fine. HAD I HAD MAGIC TO DEFEND MYSELF!" The Subgrounded Hikaru nearly shouted at the Ingrounded Hikaru.
"I had not realized the magic was gone," the Ingrounded Hikaru admitted, "As being Ingrounded I still have my magic, I thought it was merely an Anti-Magic Field activated at the tournament." She then materialized the katana that the Subgrounded Hikaru had long ago lost and the Ingrounded had just managed to get back through a deal with the man who had had it, and handed it to her counterpart.
When the Subgrounded Hikaru took the katana, the both of them stood side by side and faced Antonio, "Try to keep us here if you like," The Ingrounded Hikaru taunted. "But I assure you, one way or another, we are leaving. The both of us."
-
He simply drew his own sword, and got into his stance, as did the Demons around them. "Lucifer wont let you leave... I guarantee that." He said to them. All around they could hear the growling of hundreds of beasts waiting for a fight. "Finish them..." he ordered. 5 of the lead demons rushed forward in a tight Close Quarters Battle formation covering all of their flanks that the 2 could possibly attack from. The rest simply stood by for Antonio's word.
-
At the last minute the Ingrounded Hikaru grabbed the wrist of the Subgrounded Hikaru and jumped into the air, the both of them hovering above the demons and the room, "Lucifer has no power over me. As I proved the last time that I was here, I am in a higher league than him. "He has control over my counterpart, I know. Which is why I said that we are leaving together."
"After we take my soul back!" The Subgrounded Hikaru spoke up, the katana clenched in her hand as she glared at Antonio, "And find out his plans... I expected torture, but this? Just what is his game?"
the Ingrounded Hikaru nodded, "I would also like to know the answer to that..."
-
"Im not sure... you'll have to ask him yourself Ms. Tyris." he called up to them. "You actually just missed him." he brought his blade down from its stance realizing that they weren't planning on going mono-e-mono, but multiple demons decided to fly up and provide cover.
-
"..." The Ingrounded Hikaru landed on the ground, face to face with Antonio, the Subgrounded Hikaru beside her. She stared directly in his eyes, "Then we shall wait while we find a way to remove that damn orb and can properly leave. Until then, do not touch either of us, or I will personally restart this battle."
The Subgrounded Hikaru glared at Antonio, "If you call what you just did and attempted to do humanity, then I call you insane." She took hold of one of the inner edges of the cloak and used it to further cover herself, looking at him with a cold expression.
The Ingrounded Hikaru interrupted after, "Do we have a deal?"
-
Antonio looked up at the demons, and arouns before setting his gaze back on the 2 Hikarus. "Fair enough i suppose." he replied. "But on the condition that you do not try anything beforehand, and remain under our watchful eye. Is that agreeable?" he asks.
-
Both the Ingrounded Hikaru and the Subgrounded Hikaru glanced to one another before turning back to Antonio. "Elaborate." The both of them said.
"What exactly falls under trying anything? As I have already declared, we are going to try to find a way to remove that damn orb."
"And sorry, if I do not find being watched by demons exactly very safe," the Subgrounded Hikaru added.
"We also demand another set of clothes," The Ingrounded Hikaru muttered.
-
"Trying anything would include but is not limited to posing any kind of threat against South, or its inhabitants, or doing anything that isnt counted as patiently waiting." he says.
"You will be in my sight until Lucifer arrives... Im sorry if i dont find you 2 running around South very safe either." he says to SG Hikaru.
-
"The set of clothes?" The Ingrounded Hikaru asked again. She then nodded, "Fine. Have it your way, follow if you must." With that she strode out the door of larger palace room in search of anything close to a library or archive. Something to tell her more about the recognition orbs and how to remove them.
"I still do not trust you..." The Subgrounded Hikaru stayed behind to glare at Antonio before promptly following the Ingrounded Hikaru. She sighed to herself as she walked, "This is reminding me all to much of my capture from the Aralangs... But at least they never attempted rape.."
-
He continued to follow them. "Please do mind that certain areas of the palace are off limits." he informs them. "And just to be quite honest, you weren't in Hell last time you were captured." he says in a matter of fact tone. Several Demons accompanied Antonio as he continued to follow. "But none the less, I have informed Lucifer that you wish to speak with him."
-
"Off limits? I will go where I wish," The Ingrounded Hikaru replied as she led the way down the halls of the palace, all the while committing the area and the paths they walked to memory for in case they would have to make a speedy escape without magic.
At his comment, the Subgrounded Hikaru turned back to face Antonio, fury in her eyes, "I do not believe I was speaking to you!" She snapped, clearly offended. "And if I was, it was not meant to be answered." At that she remained silent and followed her counterpart.
After a few more hallways and turns, the Ingrounded Hikaru suddenly smirked, "Well I just thought of quite an amusing way to get back at Lucifer." When the Subgrounded Hikaru looked at Ingrounded!Hikaru with a look of confusion, she continued. "Remember what Kai pulled at the Plex tournament when Lucifer was away?"
The Subgrounded Hikaru caught on quickly, "Oh... that." She gave a short laugh. "That would be highly amusing."
The Ingrounded Hikaru merely nodded, glanced back at Antonio as if checking something, then looked back at her counterpart with a wink, "Indeed it would be." And with that she turned the next corner which led to none other than Radical's own throne room.
