Fallen Timeline pt.2
Nii gasped, she looked around, the room was dark except for one single light source above her head. Her vision was blurry, her head ached. She tried to move but couldn't.
"Look who's awake!" A voice rang out from the pitch black void, Nii looked up, her expression quickly changing to one of anger and hatred "What do you want? You've already hurt us enough, there's nothing left to get out of us, everything is already under your control!"
"Everything..?" The source of the voice appeared into the light, "But I thought you knew! There's more past this branch that we're on! I'm surprised you didn't know seeing as how you've been attempting contact."
Nii's expression remained, eyeing down Iruz. "So what? You're going to kill me? Turn me into another one of your dreadful zombie minions like Hunter!?"
Iruz chuckled at Nii's remark "Why would I kill you? When I can use you? Take advantage of how broken you are? Bring her in!" Iruz called out to his guards. Minutes later, another Irken was brought in; Invader Vee. Nii stared at Vee, then at Iruz, "Vee? What are doing with her?!" She looked back at Iruz, her antennas pinned against her head, her teeth now bared in a growl
"To make an example to you, that I'm not done" he signalled the guards, for a brief second, Nii looked at Vee, Vee returning the look, before a vicious crack echoed through the room, and then the collapse of a body. Nii looked in horror, tears quickly springing to her eyes, she then immediately began to struggle in her chair, attempting to break the binds.
"She was just the example of what will happen to the rest of them" Iruz grabbed Nii by the chin, turning her head towards his "So, I'll give you an option, you can die for them, or they'll die. Seems like an easy option, doesn't it?" He chuckled, watching Nii's despair with his manic eyes. Nii's head slumped down.
"Fine... As long as they live" she growled at Iruz
"Good choice.." his smile widened, and it was the last thing Nii saw before her vision returned to black...
Zirus sat in his cell, staring at the bed that belonged to Nii, he then looked down. He couldn't help but worry for Nii's safety, she'd attempted to save them, but never herself. He looked up as guards walked into the hall, opening Vee's cell and aggressively pulling her out, she did attempt to resist, though it only ended in her being knocked out and pulled away. Zirus quickly stood up and walked to the bars, he watched them leave his line of sight. He looked up at the other prisoners, but they didn't seem as worried as he, infact, it's like they didn't care. Iruz had beat them down so many times that they have given up. Zirus sat back down, even more worried now. What had Nii gotten herself into?
It was about 2 hours later Earth time, and no sign of Vee or Nii, until the small screen in each cell sparked to life, the screen showing an Irken, and another masked figure. Iruz tried to identify them, but he only needed to identify one; Nii. He watched in horror as the masked figure walked behind Nii, pulling her head back, and stabbing her back with a staff, the same device used to take out the original resistance by disabling their PAKs, ultimately killing them. He watched as Nii's head then slumped forward dead. The other prisoners watched as well, horror spreading into their eyes as they too watched the death. Zirus didn't know how to feel or what to do. He'd spent so long trying to protect Nii, that he'd grown a liking to her, but now... Now she was gone, he failed her and, he failed himself.
