Saide gave a bow at a spotlight hit over her.

The spot light went out leaving the place in black.
Escape From Slave Trade Island / Neb, Geo and Nails Story
Geo was walking with his arms and legs in chain shackles, following a line along with the other breeding facility slave subjects. He keeps his head down and whispers to his younger brother Neb "...tonight's the night..you ready? Cause tomorrow is the day we're going to be sent off to god knows where and I refuse to be separated from you." He growls under his breath.
The inmate behind them was a bara like slave he looks around.
Nebs ears fold down as he shuffled down the line. He whispered back "Are you sure enough people are willing to join the fight? If we get caught..." He rubbed at his throat nervously where an electric collar rested. Unlike the others, his was white to show he was under age. "I'm... I'm scared Geo.." he admitted.
Geo nods "I'm sure..don't worry Neb I'll protect you, right Nails?" The bara made a small grunt noise to ward off any on lookers and whispered lowly "The only one's who ain't on board is th' dames, the bimbo lookin' one's at least." He rolls his eyelights.
"I'm surprised they got brainwashed when they ain't got a brain" Neb smirked when his jaw was roughly grabbed "Eyes forward! Yer lucky you're still in a white collar or I'd give ya something better ta do with that mouth" The man slapped Neb on the cheek chuckling as the kitten glared and walked away.
Geo growled and turned to smack the man with his two tails he yawns "Whoops~ sorry those things got a mind of their own heh.~" Another guard grabs him by the ear and pulls him forward making him face plant into the trash he grunts "Get movin'.. tomorrow you get a master." The guard grins the bara gave a huff making him back off a little. Nails picks up both Neb and Geo walking into his cell and sat, soon the guards started to change shifts.
Neb noticed them start to switch "Almost time.." he pulled a baggie of bobby pins from his tail and took one tossing it to the other cell. The bag was tossed around quickly so every cell had a pin to use to escape their chains. They had to finish quickly before the next guards came "I think that's all of them" Neb whispered freeing Geo and Nails from their chains.
Soon Geo was out off his restraints he rubs his wrists he whispered "Step two just like we practiced..!" Soon the monsters that could climb went up into the next room to work on the lights, others went to grab a stash of weapons and Geo sat in front of Neb holding his cheekbone he leans in kissing it "..this is gonna hurt, but I want your collar off first you ready?"
Neb nuzzled his brother's hands and looked at him nervously, but nodded grabbing a thick cloth he bit onto it and nodded again to show he was ready. He sucked in a breath to prepare himself for the shock and pain.
Geo looks up at Nails and nods. Nails took in a deep breath and focused shutting his sockets soon he opened them and a lazer shot from his sockets and went up the back of Neb's neck the collar sliced in two leaving two little burn lines. The collar fizzled and fell off Geo held his hands tightly "it's off Nebs it's off" He reassured "you can use your magic now." Nails got electrocuted he grunts and huffs "fuck.." he rubs his neck "now you."
Neb hissed as he was slightly burned, but when he opened his eyes they were stars as they used to be. "Ah! Oh that's a huge difference!" Grinning he formed a blade with his magic and sliced the others collars off. "Good riddance" he hissed kicking them away. He ran over hugging Geo tight nuzzling his chest purring "it's really happening Geo.."
Geo smiled and clutched the back of his brother's skull. He purred in response and nuzzled him back kissing the top of his skull "All for you Nebs we deserve better than this now-" The lights shut off and all the gates open Nails woops "Jail break time mates!" He scoops up the kitty brothers and starts to run, other monsters join with them one drops down in front of them "Boss we got a problem!" Nails growls "dere's always somethin'- spill it" Soon an alarm started to go off the monster makes a plain face "That-quick get your asses outside!"
"I bet one of those bimbos squealed!" Neb growled and looked as guards started down the hall "RUN!" He grabbed his brothers hand booking it down the hall as a few tried to hold off the guards. Neb sniffed at the air to try and find the exit, but panicked as all he could smell was the sickly sweet sent they used to keep them drugged and controlled "b-bro they let out that stuff!!" He covered his nose looking around scared. There was too much noise, too many people, too much perfume in the air- he can't breathe, HE CAN'T BREATHE!!
"Neb!!" Geo coughed and took off his shirt wrapping it around his younger brother he motioned to Nails. The bara nods and steps back "if ya' can't find a door-make one!" He rams his shoulder into the wall the brick shatters and there was a way outside Geo rushes out along with others carrying Neb "cough COUGH!-Nails we gotta go!" Nails looks at his hands amazed he tears up a little "it's been too damn long..I got ma' strength back haha..I GOT MA' STRENGTH-" a spear pierced through his body his eyelights shook and he fell onto his side..he was in Neb's view but Geo kept running.
Neb reached out to him horrified and teared up "NAILS!!!" He screamed as he was carried away, his call muffled slightly by his brothers shirt. His ear flicked suddenly hearing a strange noise, and in a blink the arm that was carrying Neb was cut off, causing the kitten to go tumbling, his brothers now severed arm landing beside him. "Ngh!! G-Geo!!" His eye lights shrank in terror as a few guards started to catch up, Neb tried to get up, but then noticed the blade that cut his brothers arm was now sticking out of his side and he was bleeding heavily "a-ah" his eye lights went out as he pulled out the blade, his injury gushing blood like a river "G-Geo..w-we didn't make it..."
Geo screamed in agonizing pain when his arm was sliced clean off he ended up tripping dropping his brother and rolling on the ground. He quickly got up and hunched over clutching the area where his arm once was he looked over at his brother his eyelights shrunk and shook he crawled over in a panic "no no no no..NO!!" In the background turned into a fight against monsters and the guards flames started up. Geo clutched onto Neb with his remaining arm and huffed "Bro it's gonna be okay, d-don't leave me.." he started to shake he wasn't paying attention the guard in a mechanical robot raised a blade aiming at them both, but was tackled by another robot crushing the pilot. It was Nails, he huffed still bleeding heavily from his wound he grunts and manages to steer towards the two "..haa haaa.." a trail of blood trickled down his skull he gave a small half smile "..see ya two on the other side.." Geo gasped "wait Nails!-" the two were scooped up into a mechanical arm and with a whirr both were thrown over the edge and off a the high cliff landing safely on a bunch of sponges in safety..Nails had planned this from the beginning..."oomph!" Geo lands with his brother in his arm he tears up and shook his skull shaking Neb "Neb..we're outside we're outside speak ta' me..."
Nebs eye lights were fuzzy and becoming dim, a trickle of blood left his mouth as he smiled weakly "w-we did it...?" He asked, his voice sounding tired. "Y-your arm-" he raised a shaking hand up, starting to pant from the effort to lift it "Ngh... I-I can...h-heal" but no magic would come forward. Neb was so tired..
A light appeared before Nails as the guards were suddenly frozen in place "Such a kind warm soul, what you did was so selfless and brave.. Please, may I grant you Mercy?" A warm gentle hand cupped nails cheek "Life has treated you so unfairly.."
Nails gave a confused blink at the frozen guards he rose a brow bone and grunts holding his wound he looks up at the light he shuts one eye socket shaking more "huff..huff..heh..sorry dame but..I think-ngh!-" the wound gushed more and half his ribs started to dust away he grits his teeth harder, but managed a grin "-ma' time here is up..not unless you were a god of some sort." He snorted, but the more he spoke the more his eyelights dimmed away.
The more Geo saw his brother in this state the more angrier he got, if he had nostrals they'd be flairing, he grit his teeth this wasn't fair-they took their childhood, they took their freedom, they took their will, they would have taken their purity if it wasn't for Nails! All this was Nails plan from the beginning after meeting them both, and now they were taking his brother?! He felt so helpless he growled an let out a loud growl full of hatred and despair. A fire lit up within his soul crying out to the sky with a glare holding onto his brother "I HOPE EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU GETS WHAT'S COMIN'!!!" A crackle of thunder erupted and everything went dark. It started to rain, in the darkness between lightning strikes a dimly lit figure steps closer and closer, soon a tall figure towered over them Geo's tail flairs up "Back. Off." He continued to glare protectively holding his brother, another flash revealed the skeleton in a cloak he was smirking he crouched to their level. "Sup kiddo."
Mercy stepped out of the light smiling softly and pressed her other hand to Nails wound, healing it quickly "hehe, lucky me then" Once he was healed she took her hand away looking serious "you must leave this place, Karma's work will begin, and there will be nothing left of this world once he is unleashed. You are a good soul" she cupped his face and gave him a kiss on his forehead, giving him a blessing to create portals of his own "leave, now." Her form faded away and the guards started to move in slow motion giving him time to get out of there.
Neb sniffed tearing up weakly holding onto Geo as Karma knelt down, he rattled hard in fear "p-please don't- n-no more- g-Geo - mercy please!" His breath hitched as he was taken into another's arms, but sighed in relief as the pain started to fade away. Was this death? "Shhh, poor thing, you scared him darling.." Mercy spoke softly healing Nebs wounds "It's alright, you're safe little one..." She looked sadly at Geo "I'm sorry, I was too late to help you..."
Nails was stunned "dis' is fuckin' unnatural.." he touched the area and rose another brow bone from the kiss. What kind of person would take pity on a big guy like him? Especially after he- his train of thought was broken when she asked him to leave "Wait!" He reached out, but it was too late. He looked around and saw everything started to move again he grits his teeth frustrated "fuck!" He scoops up a few of the youngest inmates in his arms his eyelights created a beam of lazers opened a portal. He shook his head "fuckin' unnatural." He sighed "I gotcha' kiddos" He steps through the portal time started once again.
Geo reached up with his one arm for his brother in a panic he grunts "ey! Put him down!" Karma winks at Mercy "heh don't worry I'll give him a cookie and milk later to make up for it, that's how kittens work right?"
Geo wasn't amused Karma lifts his chin "kid your brother would be keelin' over if it weren't for my wife show some respect. Now, I can make every single person up there disappear. They'll feel the same pain you've felt and it'll hit all at once, but it ain't for free. So- what'll it be? Still want what's comin' to them? Think you could live with that?" The God smirked. Geo thought for a moment, then looked up at Karma his hatred burned he nods "..do it. Make them pay, take whatever you want..I just want to forget this ever happened.."
Karma grinned and took off his glove, he held out his bare skeletal hand "that sounds like a fair trade.. Put 'ere there kitten." Geo instantly took his hand. Thunder cracked as lightning struck the sky, in that great flash of light- Karma disappeared.
Geo's eyelights flickered and he gasped holding his skull "I-I...can't remember..where am I-what's happening..?!" The magic that affected his memory was too much for him he faints.
Neb felt his ears go flat as he panicked and reached out for Geo "brother! W-what happen?!" Mercy pet his head hugging him "shh it's the deal he made with my husband, there is always a price to pay if you want the wrath of Karma.. Your brother made the choice to give up his memories in exchange for revenge.." Neb looked up at her crying "Is he gonna forget me!? What's going to happen!?" She wiped his tears and smiled "I can grant you a blessing of mercy, I will take you to a place where you and your brother can live in peace. There is nothing I can do for his memory.. I'm sorry" Neb hiccuped and hid his face into her chest sobbing. She hugged and pet his head, slowly putting him to sleep. Once he was, she carried him and Geo into a different au, lush with green and flowers near a river. A small cabin stood near by, and a town was a few miles away if they ever needed supplies. "Rest, and be happy here..." Mercy faded away after tucking them in and healing Geo's wounds, but unable to heal his arm as it was. She reappeared next to Karma, pouting.
Karma had finished his work, piles of dust and blood were scattered about the grounds. He smirked with a small blood splotch on his cheekbone. Stretching and rolling his arm he commented "mmm, heh that was fun haven't done that in a long time-oh hey honey" he smooched her cheek and cleared his throat "hold on one last touch." He held out his fingers in a square and peeked through it at the building "mm needs a little more..oomph." he made a small fingergun and pretended to shoot at the building "boom~" in an instant the entire building crumbled to the ground and a small earthquake erupted under the prision island and soon it started to sink into the ocean.
He snickered and crosses his arms whistling at his work. "So uh-ya' don't think Atla won't mind me dumping stuff into her ocean will she?" He lazily floated on his side turned towards Mercy "so what's got ya' pouting cupcake?"
"you know Atla is going to have your behind as soon as we're home" Mercy smirked then she looked at the once island sadly as she teared up "... They never deserved this .. Did you give those who were innocent a painless death? I-i couldn't get to them all i-i " she hiccuped starting to cry as her eye sockets started to blaze with her compassion trait. She held her head trying to control it "They were so young at that- how could people be so cruel?" She wanted to wrap up everyone she could in a big soft blanket and keep them safe forever. But that's her crazy side talking. "Could I have done more for them?" Noticing his dirty face are took out a cloth and cleaned it, licking away the blood on the corner of his mouth and kissed him. "I hope the future will show them a better kindness.."
Will the future be kind? Join us for the next Tale of Two...
