Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Some kind of light?" Boss asked, leaning down to look at it as the red head hurriedly scooted away, closer to the droid. "it's like they are inviting us to attack at night." he smiled, "how bright is it? maybe we could use it to blind them." he picked up the device and turned it over to get a good look at it. "how does it work? how many times can i use it?"

Momo quickly moved to Hal's side, huddling next to his friend and warily watching the men around them. he shook his head, not knowing the answer and hoping that Hal did. he didn't like the way Kage was looking at him. the anticipation in his eyes screamed that he hoped they wouldn't know and that he'd be allowed to punish Momo after all.

Boss smiled, "good to know. good boy," he reached over and patted the red head like some obedient dog, "come on, let's get working on how to use this. those Tanks are going to have the night of their lives." he head for the stairs, ready to attack tonight. they had insulted him by taking the kid and the dog from his own quarters, he wouldn't let them get away with that for long.

Kage looked a bit sad as he watched Boss go, "too bad," he looked back at Momo, "guess i'll have to wait. just means i have more time to plan." he winked before following boss up the stairs, tonight was going to be good. it was all out war now and he'd be allowed to kill as much as he liked.

Momo turned his face into Hal's side, hiding the fear on his face, not wanting Kage to see. as soon as they were gone, he collapsed against Hal, his body shaking with the after effects of everything that had happened and whatever it was they had given him. "i want to go home-" he whispered, his voice small.

Momo shivered, unable to retain any heat, "got to survive this first." he looked around, "where is Malcom? and the dog?" the fact that Hal didn't seem worried about them was confusing, "did we get separated?" the thought sent a chill down his back, "no! no! they have to give him back. we can't leave him alone, they'll-they'll-" he couldn't finish the sentence, it was too much. he knew if he said it, the memories would cascade down and he'd be lost in his own mind.

Momo clung to Hal's words, useing them to calm himself down. "o-ok," he said softly, "he's safe. thank god." his vision was starting to blur, but he needed Hal's help first. "i-" he pulled away from Hal's side and slowly moved in front of him, turning his right arm to Hal, "can you try and put it back in?" he asked softly, knowing it would hurt, but needing it to be set right. "please?"

Momo nodded, silently waiting for Hal to adjust. strong hands closed around his arm and shoulder and he took the breath as he had been instructed. he waited for Hal to count, but as he slowly let the breath out, Hal moved and his vision went white with pain. a whimpering moan escaped his lips as he dropped forward, nearly passing out, but Hal's quick voice drug him back to painful reality. he tried to move closer, but his body refused to work. "one-," he gasped, trying to breath evenly through the pain, "one second." it took a long time for him to stop shaking, but eventually he managed to make himself move until he was practically sitting in Hal's lap. insanely he wanted Hal to wrap his arms around him, to hold him close in their sheltering grip, but he couldn't allow himself to voice his desires. he was pathetic enough as it was.

Momo buried himself in those arms and relaxed as much as he was able. he still hurt, and whatever they had given him was still making him hyper aware, but being held like this helped him to calm down more than anything else could. "no use waiting-" he said softly before lifting his chin and opening his mouth for Hal to clean him.

Hal's arms kept getting tighter and tighter, but Momo ignored it. it felt too good to be held to complain. the grip became painful and he let out a tiny sound, unable to stop it. Hal let go and made sure he was ok. "i'm fine, you didn't hurt me," what Hal had done was nothing compared to he aches throughout his body. "did you clean everything out? that was longer than usual." how much had he been infected? "Hal-"

Mun let out a tiny cough and walked into sight, blushing slightly. "Sorry to, uh, interrupt." he didn't know what was going on between the kid and the droid for them to be kissing like that, but he was sure they probably didn't want to be seen doing it. "i wanted you to know, i got word from my friends. kiddo and the dig are at the base, and doing fine. my wife took them in, they will be safe until we can get you to them. apparently my daughter made them take a nap with her in her bed." he shook his head a little, she had always been demanding like that. he walked to where the droid held the kid and smiled, "time for you to go. i was impressed with how fast you got that thing put together, thankfully we were ready so speeding up the plans isn't a big deal. as soon as it goes, we're out of here." he pulled out a set of metal cutters and started to work on the chains holding Hal back. "go back to doing what you were doi-" a crack echoed through the space and Mun fell back, his eyes wide as blood blossomed from his chest where the bullet hit.

"Hmmmm, i thought something was strange," Kage grinned as he saw the man he'd shot fall. "Decoy, huh? smart, but not smart enough." he walked to the pair and looked them over, "seems like you were trying to escape, which means-" he grabbed that long red hair he'd been longing to bury his hands in once more and drug the boy away from his robot, "you need to be punished." he lifted up the struggling man and placed the gun to his temple, "and you, metal d**k, just sit tight and watch. don't want me to accidentally kill him, do you?"

Kage grinned, "if you were human, i'd say you were pissed, metalman. but i haven't even started, yet." he pinned the whore against him with one arm and pulled out a homemade cigarette. he put it in his mouth and lit a match off the whore's arm, lighting the cigarette and then smothering the match on the boy. his whimper of pain was more than enough to get Kage excited. he pushed the whore down to his knees and grabbed the red hair so he could force his face into his crotch, all the while watching the droid. "now, then. let's see how pissed you can ge-" an explosion caused a shock wave through the building and Kage looked to the stairs. "the hell?" he pulled the whore up to his feet as one of the blacks fell down them.

"S-sir," he gasped, "Boss?" he rubbed at his eyes, unable to see, "Boss the thing! it just exploded! Boss?"

Kage growled and pulled the whore's head back, "You!"

Momo closed his eyes, not wanting to have to see Hal when he was forced to do whatever the man was going to do to him. the explosion made him look, but the man's statement and rage in Kage's eyes made him tremble. "N-no," he whimpered, "i didn't-it wasn't me!" he tried to beg, but Kage's slap cut him off.

Kage slapped the whore hard enough that his face instantly turned red in the shape of his hand. "shut the ******** up, you can answer to the Boss!" he glared at the droid and the bleeding man to the side before dragging the whore away.

"N-no, no! please! it wasn't my fault!" Momo screamed as he struggled, but was drug as easily as if he were a child. "please! i didn't know!" he was sobbing, terrified of what they were going to do to him, "Hal!" he looked at his oldest friend, reaching out for him, "Hal! Help me! Hal!" his voice echoed in the stairwell as he was drug up the stairs, scrambling to try and walk at least part of the way to relieve the pain of his scalp.

Kage took them up several flights to where the thing was being kept, his eyes searching the carnage for boss as he ignored the pleading man. he was getting more and more excited, Boss was going to let him rip the whore apart. he could practically taste the blood already.
