Namine smiled weakly to both of her friends. She shouldn't have underestimated their will power; she just didn't have a clue before how they would follow her...Ah, but that was in the past now. Namine set her hands on the bed and started pushing herself up slowly. She got a few inches up before she had to stop, unable to move anymore at that moment. Black, having just turned off the machine from its fourth run, walked up to Sora. "Had enough?" he sneered. "Just give in--you're going to die anyway." Sora glared at the man, eyes tired but determined. "In case you forgot..." he started slowly. "I don't go down easily." Not while I still have life in me, he thought. And not while I have a reason to fight.
Not for this part, no. Winging it sounds good--a bit of freedom with the plot makes things easier for both of us. ;D
Namine looked back at Roxas for a brief moment before looking at Kairi again. Honesty is the best policy, right? she thought, considering her answer. "I'm alright," she responded softly. "Just weak....how'd you guys figure out it was the necklace? How did you get here?" By the end of her speaking, Namine let her eyes shut again for a few seconds before opening them again. The weakness was so overwhelming, but she knew she couldn't give into it.
That's okay. =) I was thinking the necklace would break when Roxas helps Sora defeat Dark Sora, and then Namine (who's with Kairi), would...
Namine gave Roxas a weak smile, a thousand questions running through her tired mind. But she allowed them to go unanswered--seeing Roxas there with her was enough. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw something red. She shifted her gaze and saw that her best friend was in the room as well. "Kairi," she breathed, relieved to see that she was alright after the store robbery.
I wasn't sure if that was clear or not. xD I meant that Roxas' lips were open a little bit when he kissed her, and she took his the breath that...
Namine forced her eyes open, gazing at Roxas through half-open eyes. "Roxas?" she asked in a hushed tone. She still felt very weak, but now she wouldn't allow herself to fall into the slumber again. She had a firm grip on reality, even though she was confused. How was she awake? And how was Roxas here, looking her in the eye...? Black's men turned off the machine a few seconds later at his request. He approached Sora's trembling body, trying to make eye-contact with the boy. "Sora," he started. Then he changed his mind as to what name he would use to address the teen. "Wretched Keyblade bearer," he started again. "This machine was specifically made to suck the power out of somebody when they were in a coma. I don't know what this will do to you...but I'll have a lot of fun watching it." He turned to face his men again and nodded, the machine starting up again at a higher level. Sora fought the urge to cry out, but he couldn't suppress it. That pain....it felt like it was burning his flesh. He shut his eyes tightly as it went on, trying to stay focused and think of a way to get out of this. No ideas came to him.
What I've Overcome- Fireflight
Namine felt something warm near her...a presence that finally had a name. Roxas. She gasped softly, taking in a breath that wasn't her open. A faint cough left her lips, her eyes opening a crack before falling shut again. Just give me one moment, Roxas, she pleaded mentally. Sora gritted his teeth. Alright, so he had made one mistake. That didn't mean he was stupid. And he was about to say that to Black, but the evil man spoke first. Black turned to two men by the computer than ran the machine. "Start it," he ordered. "Keep it on low for now." One of the men nodded and turned the dial, starting an electric shock. Sora cried out, and Black smirked at his pain.
Namine didn't do anything, the fight mental more than it was physical. Her body didn't even appear to be breathing anymore. that was because her heart (which really did exist) was fighting to bring her out of this before she slipped and lost what little grip she had on reality. Sora weakly lifted his head and opened his eyes. His sight was blurred at first, but a few blinks corrected the problem. Black was standing directly in front of him, a pleased smirk on his lips. "Now Sora," Black started. "We know that you must not be here alone. But for now, we're only going to be concerned with you. We'll let your friends hold onto the tiny bit of hope they still have." Sora glared at the man, anger and determination present in his bright blue eyes. "You'll never win," he said, his speech slurred at first. He shook his head slightly and then continued. "Good always triumphs over evil." Black shook his head. "Actually, evil will always triumph because good is stupid."
Nope, just go ahead and do it. =)
Namine's fingers twitched slightly at the touch and the voice. Both of these things...she recognized them without hesitation. Now if she could only put a name to it....She fought harder to regain consciousness despite the fact that her body only wanted to fall into an empty slumber again. Sora grunted, his knees giving out on him at the blow. He shut his eyes, desperately fighting to keep his grip on reality. Then, however, he wondered why he was holding on so much? Slumber could relieve him of the pain...The teen clenched his eyes shut more tightly. Snap out of it, man! he thought frantically. Black smirked and waved two men forward, who took Sora away from Ross. Each grabbed onto one arm and dragged him over toward the machine, which was on an upright position against the wall. In a matter of moments, they had his arms hooked up, making it look like he was hanging on a cross. And then the strapped his feet onto it, the two about a foot away from each other.
Yeah... =/ I have a request for Namine and Roxas...could you have him kiss her on the lips? I gots an idea. ;D
Namine inhaled and then exhaled, starting to come out of it. Since she had been in her coma for a little while, it would take a few minutes for her to fully regain consciousness. But, in her mind, things had started to change. Her senses were starting to return, and she couldn't help but shake the feeling that somebody nearby was concerned for her. Sora fought the urge to smirk. Heh, you thought I only got a FEW of your men...he thought. At least he had that going for him. Black "hmphed" before turning to two of his men. "This is a perfect opportunity to test out new toy," he said with a wink. Strap him to it." The man gave a faint nod to Ross, giving him permission to knock the boy over the head with the butt of his gun. Of course, he wouldn't do it hard enough to knock him out; they just needed him dazed and weak while they hooked him up.
Yeah, but we need it to help keep the story exciting. ;D
Namine exhaled a breath right as the jewelry came off, the spell being broken. The color slowly started to return to her skin, her cheeks starting to get a pink hue. Sora clenched a hand in a fist, feeling himself being dragged into a new room. He was afraid now--not of physical torture, but death for his friends. He had been captured; he had failed them... Black turned away from his conversation to face the man who had just come in the door. Oh, and he brought a present! "Oh?" he breathed, a surprised yet eager smirk appearing on his lips. "What do we have here? Has the Keyblade bearer decided to grace us with his presence?" he sneered.
Haha, good. xP
Sora grunted when Ross pulled him more roughly. He stumbled over his feet for one step before regaining his balance. The boy gritted his teeth in frustration. Where was he being taken?
You can just take it off and put it in Roxas' pocket. xD
Sora kept his head as still as he could, slightly afraid that the man would pull the trigger the second he thought his captive was trying to escape. He kept walking, knowing that he couldn't break free of this man's strong grasp even if his life depended on it. And it did depend on it.
