[Private] The Arrival

Inside the van, Sechs quickly ties the hands of Satoshi and Kuriko, then proceeds to keep a close eye on them for the duration of the trip, only occasionally cracking a one-liner or two. After about three hours of travel, the vehicle stops.

'Alright, boys and girls, welcome to your new home! You'll really like it, it's all cozy and shit!'

A few seconds later, Eric opens the back doors of the van. Sechs quickly grabs Satoshi and drags him out, while Vivian takes Kuriko in her arms and carries her outside. From the looks of it, they appear to be in some kind of underground garage. Except for a few flickering lights on the ceiling, everything's completely dark, so none of the captives have any idea how big this place actually is.

'Alright, get moving, ladies! Dr. T just can't wait to meet ya both!'

"Oh boy, you guys are in for a TREAT!" Eric grins, and takes the unconscious Kuriko from Vivian.

Eric puts his fingers in his mouth and lets out a whistle, which is greeted by the approaching forms of several Husks.

"Satoshi! I got you some friends. I've perfected them this time though, they respond to my every whim. They're a lot stronger, the boss fitted some... extras in. My wonderful potion allows them to produce those shadow claws that you are so fond of!" Eric claps, "I hope you get along!"

With a grin and a wave, the Husks pick up Kuriko and wander off into the darkness with Eric.

A distant "Oh Mr Teeeeee~!! We have visitors!" can be heard far into the gloom.

[FYI, our leader isn't B. A. Baracus, and Eric isn't pretending to be Harley Quinn.]

As we drive I pay my utmost attention to the surroundings of the van. That will be needed.

'All cozy and shit!'

His vocal pattern does not suggest anything negative even though he said they were going to-...

THEIR MAKING US ONE OF THEM?!-I THOUGHT 'PUTTING SCIENCE WHERE MY ORGANS WERE' MENT EXPERIMENTING ON ME APPRETURE SCIENCE STYLE UNTIL I DIE!

This...this is sketchy..

If it wasn't for my mind, having the will to keep my conscious awake due to classifying this event as important, I would of fainted by now too.

Alright. This garage is where the trail ends, eh? Should be interesting on the inside.

'Dr. T can't wait to meet you both.'

This 'Dr. T', he must be another one of Eric's men.

No...no-Eric has shown too little tactical knowledge to be any type of leader dealing with kidnappings and such...

Darkness hits me hard and I can't see much other than dark silloettes.

...Well shit-that's a disapointment...

Husks show up and Eric explains them.

Great...

"Armor plates in their head, correct? Making sure I can't take them out that easily?"

Kuriko gets taken away.

"N-no! Where are you taking her?!"

Hmmm. It's no use..

'Oh Mr. Teeeeee~!!'

I crack up a little bit.

"Mr. T-hehe?"

I know I'm being kidnapped and shit but that put an awesome thought in my mind.

*E*BOY WHA'D I TELL YOU 'BOUT CAPTURING PEOPLE-Y'GON GET IT NAH, BOY!

Sechs takes Kuriko from Vivian's arms and starts following Eric. 'Don't worry, Satoshi, when we give you your girl back, she's gonna have some shiny new cybernetics! Oooh, I wonder what Dr. T is gonna do to her first! Is it gonna be the arms? Oh, I hope he doesn't chop off her legs just yet! I've always been a leg guy, if ya know what I mean!' he chuckles.

Without skipping a beat, Vivian grabs Satoshi by the handcuffs and starts dragging him towards another part of the facility. The two of them enter a door just a few meters away, which the cyborg promptly shuts and locks using the keypad on the side. The room looks like a typical cell - it has a bed, a sink, a toilet, a chair... and not much else.

Vivian quickly takes off her hospital scrubs, stripping herself completely naked and revealing the entirety of her cybernetic body. After that, she sits on the chair and pulls out a notebook and a pencil from underneath it.

I lunge

Fa~lCON-

I leap

KICK~~~!!!!!!!!!!!

My kick is not high enough-even jumping-to hit him in the face but I do get right in the upper torso.

I shoved the man back but my wound hurts a hell of a lot because of my still-recovering body.

In fact, all of this activity is really tiring me out.

*E*"You got metal organs but you ain't got a metal chest, now do ya?!"

An exhale can be felt on my shoulder...

Trusting my insincts I attempt to throw an elbow where I felt it.

[DAMMIT-LET ME POST TOO!-Now I have to work around Vivian's move! XD]

But before I can connect with a-not even flinching-Eric, my bindings are grabbed and pulled.

Before I know it I am thrown into a cell with a single bed.

"Aren't you guys going to, at least, take off our handcuffs? Look at us, we're in prison-SHE'S UNCONSCIOUS!"

The girl has already taken off her cloths to reveal her robotic body and taken out the paper and pencil

So, she's more cyber than the rest of them, huh?...

[That's exactly why I hurried the second post along - because I knew that you'd try to attack, and I couldn't allow it just yet ]

Vivian simply looks up when Satoshi asks about the handcuffs, then promptly looks down and begins drawing something in the notebook, completely ignoring her prisoner's question.

"Your...your vocal chords were taken too, weren't they..."

It doesn't matter-dammit-that's not the point in question now.

I kneel down and pull Kuriko on my lap.

While holding her against me with my hands I swing my legs around on the ground and sit cross-legged. Using my legs and torso to elevate her into a sitting/laying position.

My arms across her lap.

"Look-you can use that pad right there to speak, can't you?"

[Just a note - Kuriko was taken by Sechs and the husks. Satoshi and Vivian are alone in the room. Read the posts above again]

Vivian's red eyes open wide from surprise when Satoshi figures it out. Ultimately, she nods. After turning the page, the girl starts writing on the pad, then turns it over to Satoshi.

"If you're going to try and persuade me to release you, it's not going to work"

[Oh. Well poop-sorry.]

That chilling voice...

"Most prisons take handcuffs off before putting someone in a cell."

"You think that'll give me a chance of escaping then this place must be a bigger dump than I thought."

I lean against the wall in a darker corner of my cell.

"So. Have a name?"

Vivian writes something on the notepad, then turns it back to Satoshi.

"This isn't a prison! It's my home!!! And it's not a dump!"

Like a viper, my tongue is sharp.

"You're right, it's not a prison-it's something worse."

"-You don't think so?-Why are my hands chained inside of a cell even when prisons don't go that far?"

Vivian squints her eyes, not liking her home being insulted like that at all. Feeling angry and annoyed, she turns the notebook back towards herself and continues drawing silently.

"Hm."

"When is Kuriko schedualed to be...converted..and when am I?"

I don't like this, but I should rest.

After I speak I start to head over to the bed.

Vivian looks up, then slowly brings her head and closes her eyes, sighing quietly. She turns over the page and writes just a few words before showing it back to Satoshi.

"I don't know"

[In the post with Eric, didn't you mention they were fixed to be 400% themselves? Why doesn't Vivian speak without paper still?]

I sigh as well before laying down facing the wall and resting my eyes.

[You misunderstood. Takeshi stated that his combat capabilities have been increased by 500%. It had nothing to do with the level of robotization. Otherwise, to answer your question, Vivian can not speak because she doesn't have a voice box installed within her cybernetic body. She's about 95% roboticized, with only the top of her head remaining biological, and even that has been heavily augmented to increase her eyesight and fix her deafness. Takeshi simply never bothered with installing a voicebox to replace her missing vocal chords]

Vivian shrugs and turns the notebook back towards her before continuing to draw.

While in bed, I think of code names for each body. A necessarry movement in my position.

Alright...

The big one. He will be designated..."Colonist" since he seems to be for the team and, probably, a main worker who is sent for jobs without need for specialisation.

The female. She will be designated...

I can't help but joke about calling her 'Banshee' in responce to her lack of voice.

..."Deceit" since she is probably designated to go on missions without need of voice.

...Assassination missions.

The kid...dammit-I really want to name him "Cunt" because is really is one, but I'll go with...

"Imp" because that's what he is. A tiny, mischivous, cowardly demon.

Those...monsters...I'll call them 'militia' due to the army-like use of them.

As for 'Mr. T' I feel the name they designated him is good enough but, for good measure, I'll make his name "Big Daddy."

Now I go over the notes I was able to take in my mind so far.

There are an unknown amount of them, but it is, so far, likely that there are three plus the man they call 'Dr.T' due to their behavior.

This place has many militia at Imp's disposal.

Colonist seems to be less harsh than anyone else due to his 'bro' nature. He should be an easy trust to gain, even though I would rather not betray a fellow bro.

But this is war. It was war ever since they involved Kuriko.

I know a good majority of how to get here from the school since I have people I know living around this area. But it is vague and, if I remember correctly, they live kind of far from here even by car.

[I can guess that Yamaku is by Tokyo (North-Northwest of it) and that we would of traveled North due to a smaller population per square km.]

Currently, Kuriko is being held in a seperate room-not far but far enough for me to not hear her-from here.

Details acknowledged.

All of a sudden, a scream echoes throughout the halls. Vivian jumps up, slightly startled by the sound. Another yell, this time louder. And another. And then another one. It quickly becomes obvious that it's Kuriko, screaming from pain. Vivian looks down, not really feeling all that comfortable with hearing this, if only because it brings painful memories of her own conversion.

[Now, I want to know if this is too much so I will post two different responces. Tell me which one you respond to.]
[#1]
A slam echos next to the Deceit while she isn't looking.

Something has snapped inside of me.

I pull on her hair and into the bars, taking the katana from her sheath and then thrusting it into one of the arms of her's grabbing at mine.

------------------------------
[#2]
A slam echos next to Deceit while she isn't looking.

Something has snapped inside of me.

My arms reach through the old-style cell of bars and grab her hair. Attempting to pull her into the bars.

[Crap, remind me to be more descriptive next time. There are no bars - she's right there in the room with him. You can safely catch her by surprise and attack, but you won't have the time to pull off her katana and stab her in the arm, as she's a trained cyborg with enhanced strength and reflexes]

[I don't know. There is always a clear possability for mistakes to be made when surprised. I'm not saying it is likely for me to be able to take it, but keep the possability in mind if any movements of mine leave you open.
After all...hehe..this changes everything. I've never been able to get the jump on anyone yet and, as you all know quite well, there are times when I like to do things SEAL style. ]

Something snaps inside of me. I silently crouch and leap from my bed toward the destracted Deceit.

My hand cuffs wrap around her throat and cross my wrists behind her neck.

It is obvious I can't choke out a throat of steel so easily, but it makes it easier to do my next move.

I thrust a partially bent knee into her lower spine and glutte to make her lose balance and drop to her knees. [An awesome trick, i'n'it? Try it out on your friends or brother or something-it's quite fun!]

Instead of letting her fall backward, though, I uncross my wrists and grip her hair, practically by the root, in the back of her head and SLAM her head into the wall.

No-not just slam it into the wall-I mean SLAM it into the wall.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!"

I sit on her and do it again.

And again.

And again.

By now, blood trickles down the wall.

I am a madman.

Caught by surprise, Vivian is completely powerless to do anything about it. The strikes on her body don't hurt her at all - the artificial nerves that allow her to move don't register pain. The girl reaches for her katana, attempting to pull it out and stab her attacker with it... until her head is suddenly slammed into the wall. Her mind goes dizzy and her forehead starts hurting. Then another slam follows. And another. Vivian's metallic skull protects her brain from any real damage, but that can't be said about her split, bleeding forehead. Fortunately for her, the slams are quite loud, and sound tends to travel quite easily in this place, which is why...

...just moments later, Sechs literally bursts through the door, grabs Satoshi and throws him towards the opposite wall with all his strength. The impact is strong enough to break bones, though which ones depend on how the student lands. Without wasting any time, Sechs jumps on top of Satoshi like a predator and pulls out a sai, then points it straight at his throat while holding the chain of the handcuffs with his free hand. The cyborg's weight is enough to prevent Satoshi from standing up. 'You fucking monster. Just when I thought you were cool, you go ahead and start hitting girls. What did poor Vivian ever do to you, huh?'
