There was a real show of emotion in her eyes when she began to apologise for what her husband and his friend had done. She was actualy very sincere about that when it came to that subject. The height of young Venice was somewhat of a surprise to myself. When we had taken her and Kayli hostage, everything was moving too fast for me to realy notice it. It looked like she must have been about two inches shorter then myself. There weren't many women out there that could almost stand eye to eye with me.

Returning my attention to her last words, I tell her in responce "You're right about us doing what we want, regardless of how you feel about it. Atleast, that is our original intention concerning how to deal with you and your friend."

Her open defiance of us was realy starting to get on my nerves. Yet, I couldn't help but admire her strong will to not give in so easily. But I was reluctantly ready to do what was neccessary if she got too out of hand.

Continuing what I was saying, I explain "But I'm afraid that both you and Kayli are needed. It has to be this way, Venice." A moment of silence filled the room as she realised her request would not be honored.

Seeing a tear fall down her eye, I gently wipe it away while I tell her in a sad voice "I am sorry about all of this." It was then, that I realised my human side was more alive then I had ever thought.

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

Venice...pissed off.

I glared through tears. My fiery temper tuned itself up a notch, to a shade that outdid the scarlett of my hair. "I WANT HER RELEASED!" I screamed as he turned around. I realised what a huge mistake that was. He turned around again, his fists clenched, jaw set...I licked my lips, not knowing what to say, and my mouth, was so incredibly dry at the moment. I bit my lower lip, sort of anticipating his blow. Whether mental or physical. My eyes showed no emotion but defiance, I bit down harder. I drew blood. The bitter taste of that single droplet upon my tounge was the best evidence of what was to come. He raised his hand to back hand me. I cringed, not turning away, my instability only shown through the single tear that made it's path, sliding down my cheek. He walked out of the room. Probably to find something to restrain me with, or gag me. I heard the lock click. I stumbled to the door. Locked. I got angry. I picked up a small vial from the side of the restraining bed. I threw it against the wall. Picking up another I Hurtled it at the door. I ran to the door, cutting my feet upon the glass, not noticing the blatant sting of the shards. "LET ME OUTTA HER YOU BASTARD!" I pounded on the plexi-glass. Seeing a chair, one he had probably sat upon to watch me, I picked it up, my measly strength drained from my over exhertion and my temper. I weakly threw it at the door.

Brodus in "fooling the fool proof plan"

As she moved out of the room I instantly sensed her leaving.  However it is when she locked the door is when I sprung up to my feet.  All my years of training  and my programming made me an extremely light sleeper.  So Kali's movements were almost too easy to not be detected.

Upon realizing that she tried to lock me out I muttered *tsk tsk tsk* and began to pick the lock. As I stepped into the hall I saw Kali dip into the room that Venice was in. Utilizing my speed I manage to get to the shadows next to the door.

While I waited I watched the two women as they made a frantically made their way to the door. Right before they could reach the front of the door the lights shut off leaving all of us in darkness. Kali and friend though all they have to do is walk out the door and they are home free however in the darkness they saw a light. A red light to be exact. Matter of fact to be precise it was the red light that also serves as the eyes to Brodus. In order for Kali and Venice to escape they would have go through thier husbands Frankenstein.

Oh now wasn't this just a nice way to end such a perfect evening? When I found out who locked this blasted door, they would live to regret for many days before I'd finaly show mercy by ending their life. To make things even worse, these doors had been made to withstand even our strength.

Just then, the sounds of people running around could be heard from the other side of the thick door. "I'm not out of this yet!" I yell through the door as I lock my arms up into a punching position. This was an old trick that I had used before to break down walls with my bare fists for entertainment purposes.

Tightening my hands into fists, I start to charge up the motor workings of my arms. Suddenly, my arms started assaulting the door with an onslaught of power punches. Each one moved at a speed that left them blurred for the most part. The metal door quickly bends to the impact as it flys off the hinges. It smashes against the wall across the hall as my arms begin to slow down.

Once they finaly wind down, I look down at them to see the bruises and cuts caused by using them in such a way. This was why I hardly used that move unless it was badly needed. Exiting the room, I made my way towards the noises that I had picked up.

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

Venice

"How could two little ladies make such a mess?" I heard someone say. I groaned. Caught, and I knew I saw the door...so close! I felt for Kayli's hand. I clasped onto it, she squeezed back. I pulled myself in front of her. No heroics, just not sure where they were, and this was all my fault. My 'sisterly' duty was to protect her, we had become so close in the last months. CLoser than ever, If Kayli died, I would kill them all. I don't know how or when, but I would do it. My eyes scanned the piercing darkness. I began to walk forward. Silently. The darkeness spilled over everything and enveloped it in a dark awry that fogged the room. Two bright red lights , small, almost unnoticeable, glowed from one end of the room. Darkness filled the other corners of the corridors. I winced as I stepped forward, the glass in my feet extremely painful. I thought the sound of my heart beating would give us away. My eyes alert, I felt her squeeze my hand again. One thing I knew Kayli had, was unmistakable courage. My fiery temper was no match for it. She kept me going. Just knowing she was there, it seemed as if everything would be fine. We always got ourselves out of trouble. I licked my lips, tasting the silvery taste of the small marks my teeth had made earlier.

I walked forward, What choice did we have? "door?" I said as quietly as I possibly could muster. She clasped my hand with both of hers. Tracing and F, or what I hoped was an F, I took that as forward. I squeezed back. So with me in the lead and the glowing dots seemingly becoming stronger. I heard breathing, it was not mine, nor Kayli's. Defeat sunk through my whole being. I reached up with a trembling hand. Just as I thought. My nimble fingers shook as I felt the face of a man, the warmth radiating onto my icy digits. I ran my fingers down the side of his face. "run." I said quietly to Kayli. I let her fingers go. "now."

While we ran we paused a moment, I slipped on my jeans. Soaked through. But it had to stop the shivering. I tossed my t-shirt on the floor, opting to keep the unified fabric on, I didn't want to lose precious seconds. I attempted to put on a shoe, but the intense pain caused me to chuck them in the general direction that we just came from. In a moment of genious, we found a way out. I helped Kayli climb atop the monstrous construction equipment. That is when I felt myself falling. Someone pulled me like a rag doll. I kicked and bit. I looked towards kaylie, she stared down at me in horror. "GO" I mouthed.

Vincent

I looked at the monitor, how could they screw up such a perfect plan...damnit. I quickly got up and made my way down the hall, I had not thought of this happening, I was right behind them, i grabbed one of them by the shirt, quickly making sure she could not get away, i reached for the other, and only ripped off a bit of her shirt, she had gotten away from me, i did not run after her, i had one, the other would come back...i knew it. I quickly walked back with her, i placed both my hands firmly on her arms so she could not get away, and lifted her up so she could not struggle so easily, she tried to kick me, but it did nothing to stop me. I walked into a different room, and set her down on a table, i quickly strapped her in she looked at me "WHO ARE YOU!?" i did not awnser, I picked up the other two on my com, "what where you doing?! you let them get free, and one escaped, the other is strapped down in the back up room, we will wait for the other to come back to try to rescue this one" i said to them, i looked down at the one called Venice, "now, no more of that" i said to her, she yelled back "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU" i looked down at her, the cold stare looking through her, not human eyes like hers, the anger, the fear, i could see it in them. The programing her husband had done, he had tried to show me what these things where, and i could see them now..."i am Vincent, i am known as the 'leader' of these few cyborgs your husband and your friends husband made" i looked at her body, she was almost pefect, the once leaders had tried to make cyborgs that looked just like them, but before they could even start, the rebelion came, and Adam and Brodus fought back, i could not do anything...i was powering up, i had no say. They had come to me, saved me to put it in some wordings, but i had rised up, i had passed the programing barriers they had done, i could feal and do things that they were blocked to do. I could make it so they could, but then we would be equal, I didn't want that, i would stay above them as long as I could. She was looking at me, i was going over so many ideas i hadn't realized that she was looking at me, as if she could have recognized me, seen a ghost...i did not know why she was looking at me this way though, it was perplexing to me, i looked at her again "why do you look at me like that?" I asked in a less 'hostile' tone.

Brodus in "Who's the Boss"

As we went after the women I saw that jackass Vincent grab Vince. For a second I thought about raising my gun and putting two in that bastards head but then my programming took over and stopped me.

When he began to yell at me and Adam, I looked at Adam and wondered why don't we just kill Vincent. After all he is not like me and Adam, he was too fargone by the Doctor's warped programming. I tried to tell Adam that he is not worth the risk of carrying along but Adam out of loyalty let him not only live but also let him become the defacto leader.

I knew when the time is right I am going to kill that bastard. No if ands or buts. He has too much Dr. Brighton in him to be allowed to live.

However when he said that if he keeps Venice then Kali would return. I began to get nervous. To be honest I wish we never went through with this. I know release these two women are innocent victims and what we are doing is wrong. I only pray that when the time comes I could override my programming and stop the power maddened Vincent.

 

[Renegade]

Adam

Turning up the heat of my body to help dry myself up, I look over at Brodus as I try to guess what he is thinking. Brodus 'feelings' towards Vincent being allowed to rule over us was well known to me. It was something that I had worrid about for awhile.

Despite Vincents obvious flaws, he had something that we didn't. And it was because of that, that I had allowed him to rule over us for so long. I doubt either Vincent or even Brodus know how much I truly despised our leader. That was the way that I had wanted it to be. But once the time was right, Vincent would have to learn to take orders from us. Otherwise, he might not be around for very long to argue his point.

Looking over Venice, I feel those same feelings for her again. It just seemed wrong for us to be doing this. True, we tried to stop them from leaving, but that was mostly my programing causing that. Deep down, I had hoped that they would find a way out of here. Everything around here had become so complicated suddenly.

And I could tell by looking at the expression on Brodus face, that he knew that fact as much as I did.

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

Venice.

(GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR)



IC:

The strong barbaric arms that took me away made me angry. I was past rational thinking. It wasn't Adam or Brodus. "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU.....YOU BASTARD LET ME GO. I should of let them kill me, at least they had some humanity in them."
I lashed around, the restraints holding me tightly.

He stared at me coldly, "Why are you looking at me like that."

"I'll look at you any damn way I please. What are you going to do? Kill me? go for it, LIKE I GIVE A FUCK." I yelled, but I was scared. I saw no compassion in his eyes. No human traits. Swearing was not my game. I didn't like it, nor use it. But I was angry. Beyond angry. I winced as I hit the bottom of my foot, sending a shard of glass deeper into my soft feet. I heard people walking, sharp brisk strides. I looked up. THere was Adam and Brodus. I couldn't tell if Kali was with them. I winced again as my lashing caused my feet to hit a metal rod at the base of the holding bed. "Cold-hearted animal. Defective piece of scrap metal!" I kept yelling at the man. Finally, my struggling caused me to lose almost all of my energy. I hadn't eaten in God knows how long, nor slept. I was exhausted, wet, cold, hungry, and still incredibly angry. The anger was fading, however, into a soft lull.

[Dirk13]

Vincent

They came slow, but they came. I could not help but notice how Brodus acted around me, but I did not care, i was able to protect myself. I had let out some sleeping gas upon her, she was restless, and tired, i could tell by looking in her eyes. I would let her sleep, cause when she woke, there would be many things to do. We also had to figure out how to retrive her friend, the other 'maker's' wife.

 

[Renegade]

Adam

Keeping my eyes locked onto Venice as the gas took it's affect, the feeling that we were wrong in doing this kept running through my mind. These women were innocent victims, must like us in many ways. Vincent had to be able to see this somehow in that twisted mind of his. Brodus could easily see it himself. I could tell by that look in his eyes while we watched over the young beauty before us.

As Venice finaly passed out from the gas, my attention turned to the others. "What's our next move? Should we just stay here, or go look for the young woman?" I asked them both while leaning against the wall.

The only reason I had asked that, was because I knew it was something that Vincent would want to hear us ask at the moment. It seemed to upset Brodus slightly because it brought the boss's attention back to Kali, but he also knew why I had brought up the topic.

My attention returned to Venice as I awaited one of them to answer my question.

 

[CelestialBody]

Kali

 

[Phoenix]

Brodus in "change up"

Dammit Adam mentioned Kali. Ok I got to think fast. I walked right up to Vincent and said "I will find her and handle this PERSONALLY. You two, can continue with Venice."

Before they could answer I was already making my way outside the building. I put away my gun and began to think while I track down my "prey". I thought to myself I knew this was wrong. These women like us were victim of a sick and twisted madman. Basically what we are doing is the exact same thing those sick bastards did to us. Matter of fact it is even more sick because we already know what the consequences will be. No no someone has to put a stop to this and since Adam does not want to do it, then it is up to me. Someone has to stop Vincent before it is too late.

Tracking Kali using her distinct bioenergy signature (ya know I had to make something up) to a house in a middle class neighborhood I was already formulating a plan. I was going to simply tell Kali that she is free to go, but she has to lay low for the night and stay AWAY from the cyborg hideout at ALL costs. The last thing I want to see happen is for her to get hurt. I also had to tell her that I when I stop Vincent I will also find a way to get the time and location to pick up Venice. Yup sounds like a good plan to me, I just hope she will follow it to the T.

Feeling like a bundle of raw news, I knock on the door of the house and awaited my once captive.

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

DRAMA PEOPLE...DRAMA! lol

Venice:

I whimpered softly as sleep overtook me. I wasn't fully asleep. It was restful, but a sort of dream held me there, I was aware of my surroundings. I felt someone entering my mind (hope you don't mind Ren) All I could think of was Kali and the fact that my feet hurt so incredibly bad. The man they call Vincent, the hunk of junk (sorry dirk),I wanted to kill him. The presence in my mind was still there .

Vincent, I heard him murmuring about something about my defiance and how it can't be tolerated. I sort of missed fighting with Adam, his name really wasn't clear to me until now. At least Adam has decency. I winced as I fidgeted in my 'sleep'. I felt someone take my feet gently. The presence left my mind and I felt calm. I dozed off. I knew they were Adam's hands. I knew he wouldn't harm me. I knew he was still dangerous. I wished Kali would be safe.....then I slept.

 

[Dirk13]

Vincent

"Well, we should probibly take care of her and make sure there are no injuries..." i said and looked down at her "i'll be back in awhile, i have to recharge" with that i walked out into my chamber and hooked myself up to the recharger.

Kali

 

[Phoenix]

Brodus

As the woman let me inside to see my friend, I talked to Sasha and simply explained my existance. While I remained as honest as possible, Sasha took it as a joke. I then "explained" that Kali was my wife and our car broke down a few miles from here and me and Kali had a big fight and I was here to mend our fences. Luckily for me Sasha actually swallowed that story and let me into Kali's room saying that if we needed her she would be downstairs.


I softly opened to door Kali's room only to discover that she was in the bathroom. I gently eased the bathroom open to catch a glimpse at an angel or a nekkid Kali. Same thing. As she stood up in the tub completely at my mercy it took the all the strength I had to pry my eyes away from her. I turned my back and handed her a towel and began to speak " Before you draw any conclusions, let me just say I am happy to see you are safe and now you are free. I just wanted to know if you made it to safety because I know what a sick fuck Vincent is. Now I will admit me and my cyborg brothren were wrong. Basically you and your friend are just like us. You both were victims of a group of sick bastards who butchered and whored or race. It was our mistake to bring you into this mess. Now I am going to do my best to get y'all out of it, but you are going to have to trust me. Now I want you to stay here where no one can find you and when I free Venice I will send word where you too can be reunited. As for my fellow cyborg, you will never have to see your mad husband''s handiwork ever again."

 

[Renegade]

Adam

Taking Venice's injured feet into my hands, I slowy begin to make my way into her mind. Using what I knew about how the human body worked, my mind makes her numb to the pain in her feet. This would allow me to remove the pieces of glass without her feeling the pain. We didn't have much for soothing a human beings physical pain, so this was the best that I could hope to accomplish.

As my hands slowly began to remove the pieces of glass from Venice's feet, my mind goes back to how Brodus reacted about me bringing up Kali. There was more then just concern for her safety in his eyes. If I didn't know better, I would swear that my fellow cyborg had developed some sort of connection with the good Doctors widow.

Putting that behind me again, for now atleast, I finish pulling out the last of the shards from the young womans feet. Dropping the tiny pieces into a small trash can, I grab hold of something to help the wounds. Keeping the mind of Venice turned off to her feets pain, I begin to apply the medicine that would help prevent infection. I continued to do this until I was satisfied that there was little threat of her being infected.

Wrapping her feet with sterile strips of cloth, my attention turns to Vincent who was just watching on for now. Brodus was right about him, but now was not the time to worry over his plans. Once the bandages are secured over the girls feet, I slowly withdrawel myself from her mind. Using this power so much in such a short amount of time was beggining to have it's affect on me.

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

Venice

The void that filled my head as the pain left, was sharply ripped away as the presence left me. I awoke with a headache. I glanced up. Bright lights dimmed. I looked around the room. That familiar face, almost a comfort, looked at me back. I tried to move, remembering I was bound. My wet jeans were still plastered to my skin, but my feet felt delightfully clean and the pain subsided to a dull throb. I yawned. Unable to cover my mouth , I mutter "excuse me."


"may I have some water. " Being knocked unconscious with some sort of gas made me realize that they had so many things under their power that made me defensless. I toned my temper down, and decided to be submissive for a while.

I added. "if you would be so kind." I closed my eyes, trying to dull the throbbing. I thought back to Kali. I hoped she was free, I knew she would attempt to rescue me, But I prayed she wouldn't.

 

[Renegade]

Adam

Rubbing the area where I had that throbbing pain in my skull, my attention turns back to Venice. She had awaken from the gas much faster then originaly expected. Then again, it was possible that alot more time had gone by while my mind was going through hers. This whole mind trick we had was nothing new to me realy. But, it just seemed to have a very different affect on me whenever I used it on Venice.

Not waiting for Vincent to approve of this, I stand up from where I was to get her the water she desired. I hesitated for a moment. To get her the water meant that she would be left alone with Vincent. Shrugging off that worry, I made my way over to where I knew we had working water.

Taking a glass cup and cleaning it, I look into an old mirror that was hanging over the faucet. Looking over my face, I realised just how much we were like the humans on the outside. Other then the cold expressions that we had, there was alot of things there. Then, we also had alot in common with Kali and Venice when it came to how we had all suffered. For... for a moment there... I could almost see a bit of human emotion on my face. No... it must have been a trick caused by the old mirrors slightly warped shape.

Moving away from the mirror, I take the cup full of water back to where Venice was being kept. Entering the room once more, I avoiding eye contact with Vincent while giving Venice the water. "Here is the water you wanted." I tell her in a low tone of voice while putting the straw into the cup. Holding the glass for her, I watched her as she began to drink the liquid. She realy was beautiful...

 

[LAVA GODDESSS]

Venice

I watched, my eyes small slits as he left the room. I hesitated, realizing I had no way of being safe while Vincent was in the room. THen Vincent left, saying he needed to recharge. I quietly took the liquid that tasted as sweet as honey and was as refreshing as the champagne I had on my wedding. The water was warm, in all actuality, a tad bitter and it matched my thoughts as they drifted to my wedding. I pulled away from the straw. Not wanting to think of anything of the sort. "thank you." I said absently. I saw him stare down at me. Sort of an emotion that I knew well, but at the moment couldn't place it.

He laid a hand on my leg, feeling the fabric of the jeans. Taking notice of the dampness from the sprinklers. We were all alone in the room. The ticking of a clock that I couldn't see was the only noises present. I licked my lips, allowing the moisture to redden their already crimson color. I blew away a piece of hair that slide across my face. The tendril laying upon my forehead, tickling my skin. I swallowed.

"I am not sure I understand you all." I said meekly. My energy a tad faded and I felt like I was on a cloud. I looked away from him, while speaking.
